Ive been a customer of ******** for many many years and have spent a lot of money. Ive been experiencing problems with my ******** app for several months now I used to be able to initiate a return, get a barcode and take it to any place that accepts a happy return my last two returned within the last few months. The app automatically says no order found *** reached out to customer service via live chat and I keep getting told the problem would be fixed and they could help with a barcode 24 hours later I kept saying Im not understanding why I need to wait 24 hours for help when Im asking them for help that day. I cant seem to get a straight answer. Its extremely frustrating and it makes me not want to shop with ******** anymore because returns are no longer easy. Today I took two online purchases into the store with a toddler to return them as the app is still not fixed and I was met with a nasty employee at the **************** location who was so bothered that I was doing two online returns she wasnt wearing a name badge so I dont know who she was but she was an older woman with short Maroon spiky hair and was so unfriendly about me doing two separate online returns. Maybe if the app was working and I was able to redo returns like I normally would. I wouldnt have to encounter such an unpleasant employee to do my returns. Im writing this. Hopefully this will encourage ******** to look into the problems with the app because theyre going to lose a customer now that I have a two-year-old. I spend more money on his clothes than I do on my own and they would be losing a lot of money per year when I could shop at ******* or target and not have to deal with these headaches.Business Response

The items were returned in August 2024. They were school apparel so they were returned within a year. I was told refund would be returned on original form of payment(******). After noticing I didnt receive a refund I reached out. I was told there was a specific department that deals with that. The department told me a refund was returned on 8/15/24. I called the bank with an ******** *** on the phone and it was confirmed there were no refunds from ********* The next day I received a voice mail from ******** that ****** had my refund and there is nothing they can do about it. I do not have any credits from ****** and there is no reason why they would be holding my money. Its upsetting because there is no question that the items were returned but I never received a refund and ******** didnt think it was the right thing to do.!Business Response

I ordered clothing for my daughter from ********* that's why the emails say "**** ********". The orders state they were delivered, but there's no picture from *** and the packages weren't in mailroom. I filled claim for all the missing clothing- $93.38, and ******** declined my claim. I asked for a reason why is was denied, as I've never submitted a claim before with them, they said there is no reason, and no appeal, they are just denying my claim. Yes $93.38 doesn't seem like a lot of money, but it's on principle that I ordered a gift, it wasn't delivered, and they aren't making the situation right. I have since re-ordered all the clothing, so it's not like I was trying to get the stuff for free. I would just like to be reimbursed for the missing items. Buyers be wear.Business Response

I placed an order via Gap.com on April 23, 2025 (9:56PM PDT). I had issues with the order from the start. Next-day shipping was purchased. The order was not fulfilled and shipped next day. Gap did not contact me about this. Instead they just refunded my shipping. I contacted Gap to cancel the order before it shipped. A representative said they would try to cancel it, but it may still ship. Understandable. The order finally arrived Sunday, April 27th. When I opened the order, one of the items was missing. I followed the online claim process to report a missing item. This claim was promptly denied. I called customer service to get a reason, as the email had none. The representative said there was no reason shown for the claim and that it was just denied. They then suggested I dispute the charges with my credit/debit card provider. My purchase was done via Afterpay, so this is not possible. I also did receive the other items and wouldn't want to be dishonest and say I did not get the other items or get more money back than the missing amount. I would either like the amount refunded or the item replaced. I have been a longtime customer and never had an issue like this before. To deny a claim with no reason provided is unacceptable. Picking errors happen with companies all the time. GAP **** is no exception to these errors. All I am asking is for a reasonable resolution to my claim to fix this issue with the order. I am a huge GAP fan, but dropping the ball with shipping and then an item missing, followed by a claim denial is disheartening. Do the right thing GAP, refund the cost of the item or replace it for the error that was made during the picking process.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: While GAP **** refunded the money for the item they did not pack in my shipment, their response misstates the facts seen in my attachments.In their response they stated that they, are disappointed that you felt the need to reach out to a third party in pursuit of a resolution. This option was chosen after two attempts to resolve the issue. I submitted a claim that was denied and I called GAP ***************** The claim denial did not have a reason per the email and GAP ***************** ********************** **************** told me they could not help and advised me to dispute the transaction with my credit card company/bank. I explained to them my bank will wipe the whole transaction and not just the amount for the specific item. I wasnt trying to take advantage of that. Hence, a third party was enlisted to assist with a resolution.
GAP **** then stated, While we are typically unable to override a denied claim, as a courtesy, we've issued the $42.69 to post to the payment method used within 7-10 business days. If the claim was denied, this confirms I attempted a resolution with GAP **** which they did not accept.
I appreciate the refund as a resolution. However, GAP **** is taking the stance of the victim here when their actions pushed me to a third party.

On April 18th I made a purchase for $219.81, I also paid $17 for 2/3 day shipping. The package "shipped" via lasership promptly that day, however it did not move. Said it was delayed that evening, but would be here no later than the 23rd of April. It is now the 26th, it has been paid and interest added and NO products. I contacted Gap three times and The first ********* stated I needed to wait two more days to file a claim. I waited the two days and filed the claim and still nothing. It is still charged on my account and still not merchandise. I have the money tied up and was told "just reorder it" well, I have already paid for items not recieved and I had the 40% off site and an extra 15% off, not to mention several items are now out of stock. I asked to be refunded and if they could honor the code, or give me a discount code to offset the "new" pricing" they said to order the new products and they will waive the expedited shipping, but they do not give discount codes out. So, I asked how can I get the items I ordered at the same price and they said "just wait" and see if Lasership/****** delivers it. I contacted Laser ship and they stated this,"I'm very sorry and appreciate you taking the time to work with me on this. ****** has not yet received the package. As the package is not currently within ******'s possession, we kindly advise you to reach out to your seller for an update regarding the status of this shipment"So, now Gap has my money tied up, the prices are higher, no product, and Gap just keeps saying to wait and see. I am flexible and understand that if they can not honor the price, or give the same discount, or any discount for that matter, but to take money from a family and blame the shipping company when when you click on tracking it state that they are still waiting on the package. It is 12 items, so it isn't a small package. Just feel frustrated about the Gap taking money from me and not even trying to refund the money or fix this.Business Response

Please know we want all of our customers to have a pleasant and seamless shopping experience and regret hearing this was not your experience with one of the packages from your recent order, 1LTFLFV. While we regret any disappointment encountered, we are relieved to see that the express shipping fee and missing package were refunded, and those $17 and $127.40 refunds will post to the payment method used for the order within 5-7 business days.
If you choose to reorder any of the items with Express shipping selected at checkout and then give us a call or chat with us with the new and original order numbers along with the email address used to shop with us, we'll be happy to remove the shipping fee and adjust the pricing to match the original amounts paid before points were applied as those were returned to your reward account with the refund.

I am rejecting this response because: After the items still sitting at the Gap facility and fighting for my money back, they did refund the money. This was not on the shipping company, they showed that Gap never gave them the merchandise, only submitted a ticket. They never had the products in hand. I did call, I did replace the same order and had to switch some stuff up because it was out of stock. I called back per what I was told that they would price match and refund the shipping cost (for expedited shipping). I am now waiting on one item which is not a huge deal, but the issue is I called and they said they already refunded the shipping when I made the return. I explained that this was the new order since Gap misplaced the order and never sent it to the shipper. I also gave them the reference number and both order numbers. I felt so horrible because I was getting so frustrated after 20 mins. I do not get frustrated and I ended up just saying forget it. He finally said he would do a courtesy of waving the shipping (new shipping), but they already refunded the items. I gave up. I checked my Gap charge and there is no credit on the account still for the new shipping. I do understand it can sometimes take up to 3-5 business days and it has only been 3, so I will keep and eye on that, but not hopeful.I have not received any emails or correspondence from Gap, nor did I get any email confirmations that the representative did in fact refund the shipping. I did try and use the ***** to resolve this prior to the BBB. I know the original email said "you felt the need to reach out to a third party" I did so because the three times I tried to call about money being charged and no shipment nothing was fixed. If you click on the original tracking it shows on April 19th it was shipped via ontrac. At this point it still states "still calculating" and when you go to the ontrac site, it states "The package data was sent to ******, but we have yet to receive the package from the sender" I understand that they did finally refund the money for that after 7 days of the last shipping update, but this was not a return and the representatives kept saying it was. At this point I am afraid to order online with them for fear something is ever wrong. Having 6 daughters we order a ton and have since I worked at the gap back in college. Kindness can go a long way and this did not have to end up making people feel bad.
I do feel awful about how this transpired and did not mean to make the representative who replied so upset. Just wish they understood how hard people work for their money and no matter if it is $200 or $2 it should still be taken serious. My Gap card billing cycle closed prior to this even getting fixed, but I just let it go.

On April 17th I placed order 1LT907C for (3) Maternity clothing pieces. I received a package on April 24th with only a pair of shoes in it, that I never ordered or are even anywhere near my size. I checked my email and it said that was my delivery of maternity clothing which it was obviously not. I attempted to initiate a customer service order online but it was unavailable for shipping issues, go figure. After I called the number as directed, the support tech told me they would send me a shipping label to return the shoes that I incorrectly received and UPON the warehouse receiving the return, ONLY THEN will they issue my refund and then reach back out to me to re-order my original order. This was not a mistake caused by me, this was a blatant oversight by ******** by shipping the wrong products. There is absolutely no reason that I as the innocent consumer who was already inconvenienced, should be inconvenienced further by waiting and returning shoes that are a fraction of the cost of what I spent on the correct clothing to begin with. This is a horrible policy and I have no interest in re-purchasing clothes I ordered the right way the first time. My refund should be issued immediately and ******** needs to take responsibility for their mistake.Business Response
