      6/05/2025 I reached out for a balance on gift cards I received from my dad 10 years ago for XMas. The company keeps telling me they will have an answer soon but I have had no follow up or resolution. I was asked to go to the store which I did to no avail (I would like reimbursed for that trip) and sent images of my gift cards to customer service. I don't see how I would have ever used these cards due to the fact they are not valid online and the nearest **** is almost 3 hours away by Chicago. I am wondering if the employee charged my dad and then kept the cards? Why else would there be such a problem with providing me the information? The cards do not lose value. I am including the information I emailed them on 6/18- "for Christmas 10 years ago while my dad was going through chemotherapy he was too tired to go shopping. When I opened the envelope from *****, I remarked they didnt have the dollar amount written on them and there was no receipt. As a retail manager, I expect my employees to attach a receipt and write the dollar amount on the gift card or The certificates that we used back in the day. My father was upset with this, and said they were both for the same amount. I dropped it because he was going through chemo. I couldnt use the cards as the nearest **** is hours away from where I live and nowhere near where I was driving him to chemotherapy. Theyre not valid online, but they never expire and will always retain their value. I put them in my little gift card, wallet, and forgot about them Until just a few weeks ago when I pulled them out and thought I should spend these.I appreciate What you are doing to come to a resolution, but Ive already driven out of my way to the Aurora Il outlet mall from *******, ******** To try to get a balance to no avail. **** was the only store I went to. Thats about three hours away from my house.Can you tell me what the balance on the first card is and if there was ever any use on it?"

      I bought a **** jacket online and was sent the wrong item. I then call ****** to inform them that I received the wrong item and how do I go about returning it to the store. I was a lil apprehensive because how do I return something to the store that is not the original item. I ask to speak to a supervisor. They gave me the runaround and never let me speak to one. I then am told I'll receive a call in a few days but instead get an email apologizing with a 15 percent discount which is laughable. I have to hop in my car and drive 30 miles to a store. It's crazy. I finally have. Oh I forgot to mention they asked for pics to ensure that I didn't get the right item which I sent them as well. So heading to the store I have the emails stating I received the wrong item and I show the associate that. The store refunded me 51 dollars on a gift card because they said the 30 day return window had ended and they would refund me on a gift card. I get refunded 51 dollars on a gift card but I paid 112 dollars for the item. Yesterday I spent more then 2 hrs talking to rude, disrespectful, unknowledgeable employees. I had to explain it more than once because there associates don't seem to have comprehension skills. Finally I get an email from a ***** who apologizes but still after being on the phone they would not let me talk to anyone in management which would make this issue a lot easier. They refuse and they owe me money. I don't understand how they don't have any urgency and I have proven everything.

      I ordered four items from Levis. I did not receive one item, a black shirt. In its place I received an enormous pair of jeans that I did not order. I contacted Levis and informed them of the error. I asked them to send me the shirt that I ordered and paid for. They notified me that they would not send me the shirt that I paid for until I return the enormous pants that I did not order, cannot use, and do not want. They refuse to send me what I ordered and paid for until I remedy their error. I did not sign up for performing the task of transporting a huge pair of jeans back and forth across continents, I simply want what I did sign up for when I made an online purchase. Please hold ***** accountable and force them to uphold their end of the agreement to exchange my dollars for the clothing I ordered.Thank you.

      I ordered a few pairs of jeans from this business with free return policy. I requested a return and was provided with a ***** return shipping label. Unfortunately, ***** lost the return and when filing the claim, I was informed by ***** that the merchant who created the label only declared the value of the package to be $100, and it also needs to be filed by the merchant.

      When reaching out to the merchant, they only offered a $50 gift card, which is nowhere near the total amount of the order.

      I bought a pair of jeans labeled with a 32 inseam tag and I received them and they are measuring 30. They are too short and a manufacture defect. The company said they are final sale and wont refund. This is false advertisement and labeling and I want my money back. Ive contacted the company and they said there are some differences in their clothing and they say they fit but this is clearly the wrong size.

      I ordered the Levis Ankle Column Skirt (******************************************************************************************) online on May 15, 2025. It arrived yesterday and I noticed that the hem had damage on one side. Today, I reached out to ***** customer service team via the chat function on their website to ask for an exchange (so I can receive a non-damaged skirt). They let me know that since this was final sale, I could not get an exchange or refund. When I gave them images of the skirt hem, they tried to tell me that this was the design although it clearly is damage. I asked if I could please get the email of a superior and they refused, saying they couldnt give not give me any email to contact.

      Levis reached out and offered a 10% discount on a future order. This doesnt fix the fact that I received a damaged item. They are also maintaining the stance that the item is not damaged when it clearly is! They noted this fraying is stated in the product description but it isnt. 

      I dont even need a refund, just an exchange for an undamaged item.

      I’m extremely disappointed with Levi’s customer service. I placed an order using a gift card, but it was cancelled on April 29 because I didn’t pick it up within five days. I understand their policy, but it’s now May 18—19 days later—and I still haven’t received a refund.

      I’ve contacted Levi’s multiple times, and while they claim the issue has been escalated, I’ve received no response and no refund. Their policy states that gift card refunds can take up to 14 days, yet that time has clearly passed. This delay and lack of communication are unprofessional and frustrating.

      I expected better from such a well-known brand. At this point, I just want my money back.

      Hello,

      I’ve filed a complaint against Levi’s, as I know there’s no changes I realized my order was placed on the 29th not 24th so my refund hasn’t been issued for 24days out of their 14 day refund policy

      Thank you,

      I had ordered a jacket from ****** on April 2 together with 1 long sleeves with order # *********. April 5 the package was delivered. I opened the package and there was only the long sleeves in the package. I filed a claim on that night 4/5 since there was no other item that arrived that day.I received an email 4/6 that it was not approved. I chat with an agent that day and said they can't do anything. I chat then called an agent and said they won't be able to give me a refund or a replacement due to some reason that they didn't tell me.The agent told me to file a dispute to get my money back.I filed a dispute on April 8 and was denied in May 4 because as per ****** I had received the package. I'm not sure what criteria was made that my refund cannot be approved. I only ordered from ****** twice for the past 12 months and this order is the only one that I'm claiming for a refund or replacement. If ****** doesn't trust their customers, they shouldn't be in business then.I only asks for a refund on the item that wasn't delivered. I have attached all documents pertaining this claim.
