      The date of the transaction was 1/9/25. I ordered some items from the gap. I have had many orders delivered to my current address in *************, which is the default address. The items were delivered to an address I had in ************* 12 years ago. I did not select this address as my address for it to be sent to. I don't live there and I don't own that post office box anymore. I don't know what happened technically, but my default address continues to have my current address in *************. I have made many phone calls to the gap customer service. I was told last week that I would be sent a form to fill out which didn't happen. I called on Friday and was told to call back on Saturday, because the department that I needed to speak to wasn't open. I called back to day, 1/20/25 and was once again given the runaround. The woman I spoke to in "research" said she called it looked like the items weren't picked up at the *************** She told me I needed to call. I reminded her that the sender needs to call the *** not the person it's being delivered to, especially since I don't own that PO Box anymore. She argued and was cold and distant and reprimanded me for being upset. I was upset from the beginning of the phone call for all the time I have spent trying to get help and not getting any help whatsoever on the other end. No one bothered to say they were sorry it happened. Worst customer service ever. I don't have what I paid for. I remember when Gap was a family owned company and cared about customer service and making customers happy. I should receive my items and/or be compensated.

      Complaint: 22835218

      I am rejecting this response because:To BBB and GAP:
      I am well aware of the sequence of events.  I have received shoddy customer support from the **********************.  I am asking that you take responsibility for this.  The phone calls to **************** were awful, I was given the run around, and no one was willing to lift a finger to help me. They talked down to me were gaslighting in their reponses.  I contacted the BBB then. I also tried another avenue by contacting Gap on their FB wall. This was when I actually got a response that was meaningful. But I continued to have to advocate for myself for them to take action.  I had to ask repeatedly for  them to follow up and call the **** and/or the ** where my packages are still sitting. I have spent way too much of my valuable time doing this. This is terrible customer service.If you look at your records, you will see how long Ive been a customer. This is not an okay way to treat a customer who has been loyal for so many years.  I still dont have my merchandise.  And the phone call I received from the ** yesterday made no sense. Again, they left a vm msg saying I can pick up the package at the ** store, when I live 3 hours away. 
      There has been very little effort on the part of Gap to do anything about this. I have yet to receive an apology. Just common courtesy.The FB folks whom Im in contact with at least expressed concern. 


      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 22835218

      I am rejecting this response because:  While you have finally apologized for the mess and you will be forwarding this to higher *** to review, this is still not an adequate response.  The results, including finally getting a refund, were due to copious amounts of effort on my part.  The owner of the Gap is a billionaire, and this is why. Treating customers in this shabby way is how billionaires become billionaires. I'm sure most people would give up and never receive their goods or a refund.  Or think of all the avenues for follow up.  So bit by bit, selfish people become billionaires.  I remember way back when, when the Gap was a wonderful store in the 70's. I was best friends with the daughter of the man who created it in *********. He would be ashamed.  Really.  So should you.  I don't know who went to *******, but this is so typical of MBA thinking.  Just do everything you can to rake in the big bucks. Human decency doesn't matter. Just get rich!

      Gap delivered the wrong package before Christmas. Instead I received a few child's clothes items- none of which I ordered. Not only were my Christmas gifts not delivered, so I did not have many gifts I was depending on for Christmas (that were supposed to be delivered before), but when I was told to mail back the wrong items, I immediately did, and was never refunded for the large expense package I did not receive. This was about $300 worth of clothes that I NEVER RECEIVED FROM GAP, and still have not gotten a refund for. I have reached out to more customer service people from ********************** than I can even count or remember and nothing has been resolved. I keep getting the same response that it is out of their hands but that they will transfer it to the "research team" for my refund. It has now been well beyond the time period I was told it would take. It was confirmed that they got the wrong items delivered back, just as I was told to, but still no refund or contact from them. I never in a million years thought I'd be scammed out of money by Gap, but here we are.

      I placed order 1L339NV for $40.93 on 1/8/25. The order had one item: a pair of High-Waisted Dynamic Fleece Trouser Pants. Instead, ******** sent the wrong item: a pair of Wide-Leg Dynamic Fleece pants, delivered on 1/16/25. I am going through a very busy, stressful time, and I don't have time to send this back or return it to a store. Please send me the item that I paid for, and do not request that I return the wide-leg pants. I should not have to pay for ********'s mistake with my time. If you cannot send me the item I paid for, then please refund the $40.93.

      I ordered a few items from Banana Republic online and did not receive everything I ordered. I filed a claim online and my claim was denied a few hours later. When I contacted customer service to speak with them and let them know about the issue they said I needed to submit a claim.

      My daughter bought me Athleta clothing online for Christmas. I did not care for the style, so I completed an "online" express return, using the gift option and requesting emerchandise card refund. I brought the items in original packaging to *******, where they were scanned in. I immediately received an email acknowledging the return, however, 16 days later, I still haven't received the refund. When I called, the person I spoke to (and his manager) insisted that I needed to provide my daughter's billing address in order for them to process the return. I've already returned the merchandise. I would like Athleta to send me an e merchandise card, a gift card, OR refund the money to my daughter's original form of payment. They insist that my daughter has to call them. There is a LONG wait time to get through to this phone number and my daughter is a new public defender (working 80+ hours per week). She doesn't need that hassle.

      I purchased a dress at banana republic On 12/30, said dress was $160 I wore it for 2 hours and the dress I la falling apart I contacted banana republic to get an exchange or refund since this item is poorly made and is not functional. I was told to take this dress to the dry cleaner to get it fixed because banana republic is not responsible for the quality of their items. This was an expensive dress and for an employee of this company to make such a statement is offensive to me as a client to say the least. Their solution was for me to spend more money to fix a dress that should of not been broken to begin with, disgusting behavior I will not be purchasing from this company ever again I want a refund

      Dear ***,
       
      We are writing in response to your recent complaint filed with The Better Business Bureau. At Banana Republic, we strive to be available and accommodating to our customers and are disappointed that you felt the need to reach out to a third party in pursuit of a resolution. We are glad to have the opportunity to see if we can help.
       
      Please know we want all of our customers to enjoy their ********************** purchases and we're sorry to hear of your disappointment in your recent dress purchase and that you were not initially provided with the option to have the dress evaluated. We can share that we stand behind the quality of our products, and we're committed to providing you with a great experience. For store purchases, you can visit a local store to speak with a manager for a defective merchandise evaluation as our managers are trained to evaluate items for possible defects. If the dress is determined to be defective, the store should be able to accommodate you by either exchanging for a replacement or a refund. If any questions arise when you visit the store, the manager can contact our offices at the phone number below with your case number and we'll be happy to help with the evaluation.
       
      Thank you again for sharing your concerns. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us at **************. We are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm and Saturday from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Time. Please reference case number ******** for a seamless experience.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have spoken with the managers of the location where I bought the dress and they refuse to evaluate my dress and see for themselves the quality of this dress, they told me they are not responsible for these quality issues and can not do anything to help me. I want a refund and to escalate this issue to the regional manager and customer service corporate manager. This is unacceptable!!

      Dear ***,

      Thank you for your reply. We hope you know that it is never our intention to frustrate customers with our policies. While we certainly stand behind the quality of our merchandise, we also require that the merchandise be evaluated by one of our store managers and found to be defective prior to either exchanging or providing a refund for the merchandise. If it was a manager who refused your return, or you are not satisfied with the outcome of the evaluation, we recommend letting another manager evaluate it for a second opinion. You may contact the original store, or another Banana Republic locations. We understand your time is valuable and this process can be time consuming, but we depend on our store managers to make these decisions based on their hands on experience and expertise. When you visit the store, the store manager can contact us at the phone number below, Monday through Saturday, with your case number, ********, and we'll be happy to help with any questions on the evaluation. 

      Thank you again for sharing your concerns. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us at **************. We are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm and Saturday from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Time. Please reference case number ******** for a seamless experience.

      I received a gift card for Christmas for $100. I placed an order on my ******** app which resulted into me using my whole gift card. It told me that my order would be delivered January 7. January 7 came around and I got an email telling me my package was delivered. When I got home I opened my package to realize it was only half of my items I ordered. After waiting a day I went online and filled out the claim for my missing items and then received an email saying wouldnt be refunded for my missing items. The next day (January 10) I contact customer service about the issue. The first ****** I talk to emails me another claim to fill out. I ended up not being able to fill another claim out because I was already denied. So I call customer service back again about my issue with my order. I explain my issue and I end up getting out on hold 2 different times. I can barely understand the guy talking to me. I inform him I used a gift card for my missing items and he puts me on hold while he contacts the gift card department. He came back and his words to me were Im sorry but the final decision was made and you wont be receiving a refund for your order. So I asked him so I will not be getting a refund or anything for my missing items? And he proceeded to tell me that is correct. I know I used a gift card for my purchase but that it still money. Those are still items I purchased. To only receive half of my items I paid for and then be told I will not be getting the rest of my items that I paid for is VERY upsetting.

      I ordered 9 items from the app on my phone, received 7/9 items. Have numerously tried to tell customer service that I need the missing 2 items from my order. I was told "their system does not allow missing item reshipments. That I would have to pay another $20 for these 2 items but that I could get FREE SHIPPING." As a customer living in the world of 2024/2025, nobody has an extra set of funds to REPURCHASE what they have already paid for. This is outrageous and extremely ridiculous.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have never had such a bad experience with a company and it's customer service. I did not receive all my items and was rejected a refund. I don't want a refund. I want the missing 2 items that I paid for, once already. I will be going through a dispute with my bank.
