Important information

  • Customer Complaint:
    BBB with the use of artificial intelligence, analyzed the complaints on 9/11/24

    BBB shared the findings and recommendations with Rue La La,Inc.

    The findings appeared to show:

    Refunds and Exchanges: High frequency of issues with returning items and obtaining refunds.

    Delivery Concerns: Problems with shipping times, lost packages, and incorrect deliveries.

    Service Quality: General dissatisfaction with the service quality provided by the company.

    Product Quality: Complaints about receiving defective or low-quality products.

    Rue La La, Inc. on 1/23/25 responded to BBB with:

    We understand that it can be frustrating for our Members wanting to return items and feeling like they are not getting their service expectations met, but it is always our intention to make this process as easy for Members as possible and to get them resolution.  However, we are a flash sale/off price company where our inventory is constantly being turned over and we buy in limited quantities.  This does not allow for exchanges very easily as the items are usually not available in alternate sizes or colors but does allow us to offer amazing deals on high end fashion and home goods.  It also means that we need to put returned items back into inventory quickly to allow other Members access to these high demand/low quantity items.  As a result, in early 2024 we reduced our return window from 30 days to 21 days to quickly put these items back in stock.  We did grandfather in any purchases prior to that change and allowed for extended returns for customers for about 60+ days after that policy change and still do offer exceptions based on individual circumstances. Our returns policy is clearly outlined on our site in our “Help” section under “Our Return Policy.” This section outlines our return window for returnable items, 21 days from the shipment date. This section also outlines the refund options for returnable items, if they choose Merchandise credit they can return the item without a return shipping fee (this is similar to the policy of many other online retailers), or to original form of payment with a deduction of our $11.99 return shipping fee. Also outlined are the refund timelines, which is 3-5 business days for merchandise credit and 10 business days for original form of payment (this is dependent on the customer’s banking institution as we issue credits at the time we receive the item back). This help article also explains that items marked as “Final Sale” are not eligible for returns and explains that this information can be located in the product description on the site, as well as on the packing slip. Though Final Sale items and items outside of our return window are considered non-returnable, we do provide our members with exceptions based on the individual circumstances but generally offer each Member a onetime exception no questions asked as long as the item is in original condition and in original packaging. Though not ideal, at times we have to deny both late returns and final sale returns due to multiple requests/abusive behavior on the part of the customer.

    Ordered a Farberware pot 6/9/2025. It supposedly shipped via *** Ex 6/10, wtih an estimated arrival of 6/17/2025. It has not been updated since 6/11/2025. I tried to contact Rue la la twice, once with the concierge and that was almost a week ago and I have had no response. The pot was $27, and with the $12 shipping and taxes the total was $41.72. At this point I just want a full refund but no one from the company will respond.

    Sent me the wrong items and now refuse to make it right. Told me I could either refund my purchase or keep the wrong items, but they won't send me the correct items. Either because they don't have it, or just don't want the hassle. Either way, the items I purchased are wrong, with no remorse, and no assistance from Rue La La. They're a scamming company and not sure how they have an A+ BBB rating then everyone gives them one star.

    Dear Masen, 

    Thank you for allowing us to assist, we were happy to review. We apologize that you received the wrong item within your luggage set! We were happy to see that our frontline team has offered you multiple options to work to resolve the issue earlier this month! You were offered a discount to keep the items as is, as well as a return label to return the item for a full refund. We understand that your preference is to have the correct item, and we have been working with our supplier to determine if a replacement for this piece is available. We are sorry for the inconvenience, and we are working diligently to get this resolved.

    I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # 23430048.

    This is a typical, lazy, corporate response which really did not address my issue. Your team offered a 5% discount to keep the wrong items, which is insulting. Not only is this discount not worth anything, but it was tried because of pure not wanting to do what was right. You also offered a return label if I packed everything up, printed the label, and returned it to the store. It is not my responsibility to fix your mistake, and I will not be taking time and money out of my day to do so. 

    Now after weeks of back and forth, with days, or weeks in between responses from your "help" team, you finally offer to see if we can switch it out for the right item. Why was this not offered from the start? I was in fact told this was impossible to make the swap so I won't be holding my breath. Until I get the right item or I can send back the wrong item for a switch, I will continue working with my bank team to dispute this charge.

    Dear Masen,
    Thank you for reaching out. We understand your concern regarding the incorrect item you received. In situations like this, we do not always offer an immediate replacement due to several factors. One key reason is that we must first investigate the cause of the issue, whether it stems from a product listing error, an incorrect SKU, or another fulfillment issue.
    Additionally, the item in question is fulfilled through one of our Brand Partners, which limits our direct access to their current inventory. Because of this, a replacement may not always be available.
    That said, in this case, we made an exception and reached out to the Brand Partner on your behalf to explore the possibility of a replacement. Unfortunately, they were unable to provide one, which confirmed our initial concern.
    As a resolution, a return label was provided to facilitate a full refund once the item is received. We appreciate your understanding and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

    Sincerely,
    Member Services Team

    I purchased 2 pairs of luxury sunglasses from ******** for $283.00. The box arrived on my doorstep but there were signs of tampering. The original tape was not all the way on the box and it was reinforced with clear tape. When I opened the package both sunglasses boxes were empty. I took pictures of all supporting evidence of theft but my disputes were denied multiple times with the credit card company (****************) and the merchant (Gilt).

    Dear *****, 

    Thank you for allowing us to assist, we were happy to review. This order was originally placed in May of 2024, and we were originally contacted in June of 2024. At this time, our internal teams reviewed the pictures provided by our carrier and confirmed there were no visible signs of tampering, as well as the weight that was logged matched the items ordered. Additionally, we do see that you disputed the charge with your financial institution, who also denied your claim. If you have any additional questions regarding your claim, please reach out to your financial institution.

    I purchased ********* Loubotin(CL) ******* Mule 85 from Rue La La and two months into wearing the sandals, the heel started separating from the sole. I attempted to facilitate an exchange with Rue La La due to the defect with no resolution. In speaking with CL, since the item was purchased thru a boutique I would have to resolve my issue with Rue La La direct. According to a professional assessment conducted by a certified cobbler, the shoe in question appeared to have undergone a prior repair before it came into my possession. This suggests that the item was not new or in original condition at the time of purchase. As a result, I believe I was sold a product that was both defective and misrepresented, and I am requesting an appropriate resolution.

    Dear Gretchen, 

    Thank you for allowing us to assist, we were happy to review. This order was originally purchased on 4/3/2024. We first heard from you about the damage on 6/30/2024. Please note that the majority of our inventory consists of unused, brand new products. In cases where we offer Authentic Pre-Loved items, this is always clearly stated in the product description. After a thorough review, we have confirmed that the item you received was indeed brand new and had not been previously owned. Given that the item had been worn multiple times prior to your initial contact with us, we were unable to offer assistance at that time. After reviewing the matter again and considering the additional time that has passed, we must stand by our original decision.

    I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # 23389459.

    I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent purchase, a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes ordered through Rue La La that has unfortunately proven to be defective.

    Given the $750 price point and the reputations of both Christian Louboutin and Rue La La, I expected a product of exceptional quality. However, after fewer than ten wears, the shoes began to fall apart. These were not worn daily, nor subjected to unusual conditions, and the damage occurred well within a reasonable time frame. Upon inspection, a professional cobbler confirmed that the issue was due to a manufacturing defect—not normal wear and tear.

    It is deeply frustrating to invest in a luxury product, only to have it fail prematurely. I believe this situation warrants further review and reconsideration of your return or exchange policy in this case. I am requesting that this matter be escalated and a resolution be provided, whether through a refund, store credit, or replacement.

    Regards,

    Gretchen

    The item was faulty upon receipt, not damaged through use, yet neither Rue La La nor Christian Louboutin has taken responsibility or offered a resolution. This lack of accountability is unacceptable and reflects poorly on both brands’ commitment to customer satisfaction. As a result, you have lost me as a client, and I will not be purchasing from either Rue La La or Christian Louboutin in the future. I hope you address such issues more seriously moving forward.

    We apologize for any confusion. We see orders 1164934493 and 1168127284 were refunded on 5/23 in the amounts of $243.79 and $80.56. It looks like our team member missed the third order. We have refunded order for the amount of $105.99 on 6/16/2025. Please allow 3-5 business days for this to reflect. We see that since these orders were placed, there have been other orders submitted using this incorrect address as it was saved in your account, We have removed this address from your saved information on your account to prevent any other shipments being sent to an address that is not yours. We hope that this helps!

    I ordered an item, a down pillow from *******************************, on April 14. It's May 10, and I haven't received this order. I've written several times, including April 29, May 2, and May 9, and have only received automated messages asking me to wait five days. Tracking shows that it was delivered on April 23, a Wednesday. I was home at the time, and I was never contacted. My downtown ******* apartment building uses a Luxer locker system. The ***** carrier needed to either contact me directly or place it in a locker. At that point, ***** would have contacted me with a code to retrieve it, but that never happened. I would like to receive my order or to receive a refund.

    On May 4, 2025, I ordered 8 items from ******** totaling $1,358.69. I had put multiple items in my cart a few days prior, and then waited to purchase them as I continued to browse the website. During that time, apparently many of the items I ended up purchasing were marked as "final sale." This was not indicated in my cart or at checkout, and I only noticed on the packing slip as I opened the box. Gilt apparently only includes text of final sale on the item page itself. This means that in the time between when you click on an item to put it in your cart and the time you pay for the purchase, an item could be marked as final sale and you would have no way of knowing. This is an incredibly deceptive practice. I spoke to customer service and they offered me merchandise credit for the items I wanted to return, but I believe I should get my money back. I asked the representative who I could email to complain about this practice and suggest they add text to the website to indicate when something was final sale, and they provided me with a fake email address that did not work. Since the solution to this issue would be to simply put "final sale" text in either the cart or checkout, which is a very easy fix, I suspect that the lack of disclosure of final sale items is an intentional business practice in order to deceive people into not being able to return items.I have attached an example of this practice - where an item marked as "final sale" on the item page is not marked as such in the cart or at checkout.

    Dear Hayley, 

    Thank you for allowing us to assist, we were happy to review.Our Final Sale items are determined prior to them being listed on our site. The final sale status is not adjusted after it is added, so this change would not occur between the time you add the item to your cart and the time you check out. As you provided in your screenshot, final sale items are clearly listed in the product details that your can see within the product listing. We were happy to see that a member of our team was able to provide an exception for you to return the requested items in return for Rue La La account credit.

    I made two purchases 5/3/25 Order number ********** For $370.99 4/25/25 Order number ********** For $124.23 Both I purchased in the clearance area of the site. In very small print underneath add to bag it says Final sale no returns or refunds on this item. It DOES NOT give a warning that the item can be returned when you go to purchase nor on your actual receipt! It is very misleading. It does say it in very small print on the packing slip. Unfortunately, online the site has very poor ratings and is accused of selling fake products which I believe one of my purchases are. The dress I bought for $370 is very poor quality. I looked at the reviews after I had purchased. Very upsetting. My receipts are attached.

    I purchase a pair of diamond earrings from Rue La La, upon arrival one of the earrings was damaged. I decided to request a return. Rue La La provided a return label and I went ahead and send the earrings for a refund. I have been checking the tracking at ***** and notice that the return has not reached its destination. I reach out to ***** and they let me know that the return address does not exist and this is the reason why they havent been able to make the delivery. I reach out to customer support for ********************** and they told me the address is correct and to reach out once again to them if the earrings are not delivered. Earrings have not been delivered and when I reach to Rue La La for an answer I get no reply. I think the return address really does not exist because Rue La La does not want the merchandise returned so they dont reimburse customers for issues with this product. I spend $716.59 USD dollars for this earrings. I think this is part of a scam or fraudulent return process. If the return address does exist why Rue La La has done nothing to expedite the return with *****.

    Dear ******, 

    Thank you for reaching out! We were happy to review! After looking at the tracking, this package last showed movement on 4/4/2025. We confirmed with our carrier that they did have our Brand Partner's return address on file, however they did confirm the package was now lost. 
    Rest assured, we will be refunding $716.59 to your original form of payment for the amount. Please allow 3-5 business days for this refund to process back to yourAfterpay account.
