On Thursday, 12/12/2024, I purchased 14 items from ******** and only received 8 out of the 14. All 8 were received separately. So, I called ******** about remaining 6 items that was supposed to be in the last shipment, that I did not receive. An ******** representative just told me to submit a claim, which I did, and the claim was denied. They did not offer any other solutions. The total amount for the 6 items is $41.17.Business Response

I bought a set of baby clothes from GAP's website, and after washing the clothes, I found there to be mold spreading throughout the clothes. This was extremely infuriating, as this could have been detrimental to my child's health if I had not caught this.Business Response

I am appalled by a recent delivery I received from the company Old Navy/Gap. I ordered 3 items online-order #1KR3T12 on 12/15/24.I received the sosoft mini sweater first. The package was a blue bag, inside there was a sweater with no tags on it and no plastic around it. The sweater has a large white stain on the lower left side, it was sticky-it stuck to the blue outer bag initially. I thought it was deodorant at first but it appears to be a bodily fluid. I was so disgusted I threw the item away. Why did I receive an item not wrapped with inner plastic and why were there no price tags? Was this item returned and shipped to me by mistake? The other two items from my order arrived two days later in similar blue packaging, however these items have tags on them, and they are individually sealed in plastic inside the shipping bag. I understand the holidays can be an extremely busy time but there is absolutely NO excuse for a soiled/used/returned item to be sent to a customer. There is no way the employee did not notice this when packing the item. I expect a refund for this shocking event.Business Response

On 02/17/2024 I purchased a $200 gift card for my girlfriends birthday the day after.Everything was fine, she even uploaded it to her Apple Pay and kept the gift card in her make up drawer in our bathroom. Randomly about a month later ( Im not sure the exact date anymore but I know you guys can find out ), she got a notification that the gift cards balance was dropped to $0. So she asked me if I grabbed her card and used it. Obviously I didn't. So I immediately contacted the number on the back, Id say within 5 minutes of finding out, and all the representative can tell me was every single cent was used. All $200. They could not tell me how hot was used ( in store or online ), where it was used, or what it was used for. I don't know how my number got compromised or who took it but Im in *****, **. So anywhere else it has been used is fraudulent! I filed a police report as well. I filed a dispute with my debit card company who declined the dispute because you guys technically completed your service once I was handed the gift card with except. I just want answers. What happened? How ? Like ugh. And if possible, maybe even get a replacement. Lord please.Business Response

I am writing to formally dispute the denial of my missing package claim for order 1KP6R44 placed on December 11th. This order was intended as a Christmas gift, and its non-delivery has caused significant disappointment and inconvenience.Despite filing a claim, Gap has denied my request without providing any specific reason for the denial. This lack of transparency is unacceptable.Furthermore, I have reviewed the provided delivery photo, and it clearly does not depict my porch. This raises serious concerns about the accuracy of the delivery information.I kindly request an immediate investigation into this matter and a full refund for order 1KP6R44.Business Response

I made a fairly small order for no more than a a 100$. I received the packages in the mail and while generally things are OK one of the dresses I bought for my niece as a Christmas present came with an alarm tag on it. That was not the biggest problem. When I reached out to the business, they basically disregarded the fact that I needed this for a Christmas present. They told me I could get a refund within six weeks or something along those lines. I dont know if it was a mistake or if I misread it, but I did ask and they then said that I could bring it to a local store and ask if they could remove the alarm, but there would be no guarantee. they said I needed a Mass ID among other things and I literally told them I have the email I mean receipt for what I bought. They did not seem to care very much and the employee said theyre sorry they have limited resources at their disposal. The way I think of it is what if I had said to them Im going to give you five dollars now and the other hundred dollars later, they would never go for that. So why is this type of behavior Acceptable? Why do we just have to accept what they offer and that is it? I asked them if they would be paying for my gas to drive to the local ******** and I believe the *** thought I was joking? I was not, I already paid for it to be delivered to me. id like my money back or a gift card so I can now buy a present for her or some type of resolution.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference tocomplaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. While i do not agree with this person shaming me for using a tool that is in place for situations like this, I do not want further interactions with this company. I think a measly 9.99 is DEFINITELY not why I reached out to Gap **** I was also disappointed that a conglomerate was unable to satisfy an order made for a child on Xmas time. If i sent you half the money I'd not receive any of the order now would I? I dont want to reorder or ever order from them again but since they are refunding my measly 10$ Ill put that in my gas tank and drive to ******** and ask for the censor to be removed. Ill produce the email and hopefully thatll be enough.Lastly, this person responding was not on the chat and was not present when this caused unneeded stress at my home. Its pretty consistent with how most businesses treat people and then when you wont just go away they get upset. I dealt with over 15 companies this holiday season but am only reaching out about one. Hopefully theyll take the tag off and i can just move on but hopefully now they wont be so disappointed since ive explained myself well. Thank you BBB for helping to hold these companies to account.
