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.

I had placed an order through Premium Outlets from seller Gilt Outlet for a Fendi Bag and ************************* sneakers, order number; SPO204534638 total amount: USD ******* Due to unforseen circumstances, i was not able to come back to the US in time to get the package and had my friend return the items. But after waiting for more than couple weeks the support kept me hanging without any response and after going back and fourth they're telling me that the seller did not get the returns back while I had contacted the shipping company and they confirmed successfully delivering the items. Now they're telling me to go to the bank to put a dispute and I spoke to the bank and they had suggested me to first speak to the vendor/seller as the dispute process might take 90 days to conclude and I wouldn't wanna wait that long to get my money back unless that's my only option. So it is my humble request if someone from Premium Outlet please check with your warehouse guys and the shipping company to confirm if they've recieved the package or not and let me know so that I can let the bank know as well that i tried all the options at my disposal before putting the dispute. Please let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks and regards.Business Response

I purchased two items, a pink dress and a beige pair of shoes on Rue La La's website(Tracking number 1166534810)for me to have worn on Easter Sunday, my birthday. The order was placed on March 17th, 2024. The estimated time to received the items was on the 18th of March. I reached out to the company on March 28th when I did not receive the items and the order status said the expected date was March 27th. I was told that my order has already been shipped and was on the way. I did not received my order, therefore, I decided to cancel the order and demented a refund on March 30th, I was told by Rue la la to call on Saturday April 6th to get a refund if I still did not receive the items. I called the company on April 6th to get my refund since I still did not receive the items. However, I was told by Rue la la that the company had rescan and shipped the items. Today is April 10th and I have not received the items nor my money back from Rue la la.Business Response

On 9/1/2023 ordered (Order# **********) Valentino by ***************************** ******* Rope Leather $259.99. Advertised as authentic. On 9/5/2023 delivered. On 1/15/2024 called customer service to inform that the ink on strap on the strap bleed and smeared off on to sweater and wanted to inform them ASAP that apparently they must have used a vendor who sent out a counterfeit bag to their customer unbeknownst their knowledge. ******* named *** was nice said she would send me an email to start a review and I should send pictures, which I submitted the same day under Ticket# *******. On 1/16/2024, ******* from Customer Svc responded stating she was sorry I was dissatisfied but since it was beyond the 30-day Return Policy period, I could not receive a refund, exchange, etc. I replied the same day that I was appalled that her focus was on the 30-day return policy AFTER reviewing the photos I sent as proof of me just now discovering the bag is inauthentic from the ink smearing off onto my clothing. I thought their company would be MORE concerned about branding because of the illegal counterfeit product going out under their name. I asked for a response to confirm this was their stance. On 1/18/2024, I sent another email requesting a follow up. ******************** I am so sorry but we will not be able to accept this item back as a return or send any replacements due to the age of the order and because the item has been used.

I reject Rue La Las response because they SHOULD NOT sell FAKE merchandise when they profess their products are authentic designer merchandise. I did not know the purse was fake until the ink smeared off after normal usage after 30 days. AGAIN, the big issue is the **** the purse is NOT AUTHENTIC! I paid to receive an authentic designer bag. If its illegal to sell such items in the U.S., and Rue La La is now made aware of this with proof from a customer, why are they thinking this is acceptable DESPITE the 30 days. I gave them the benefit of the doubt that this was unbeknownst to them and a 3rd party vendor sent out the fake product. However now that Rue La La is adamantly sticking to the 30 day return policy knowing the inauthenticity of the bag, then this is standard practice for them. This is unacceptable & illegal. I expect them to rectify.Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.

Dear ******,
Thank you for your response. All products sold by Rue La La are authentic. In some cases, leather products that have been dyed a darker color may bleed or transfer colors if they become wet, even in the case of authentic handbags. As this item is authentic, and was purchased over 5 months ago, we are unable to accept the purse as a return or offer a refund.

I purchased 2 pairs of earrings from Ruelala. I set up a return within the return window. The ***** tracking showed the items were received back by Ruelala vendor Dec 22, 2023. When no refund was posted to my Ruelala credit by Jan 16, ****, I called Ruelala to ask that the charges go back to my credit card since the return had been with them for 22 days and they had not credited the funds to my Ruelala account or my credit card. They said they would only refund to my credit card if they charged me $11.99. They blamed the vendor for not entering it into the system but refused to refund my money to the credit card without the $11.99, saying it was not their fault that it had been with them for 22 days. Their website says you will see your Ruelala merchandise credit within 3-5 business days but this was 22 days with no credit of any type (and likely would never had been processed if I had not called).Given the extreme delay which is well outside of their 10 day window, the full $212 should be returned to my credit card. They will not let you speak with a supervisor despite asking repeatedly.Business Response

Dear ******,
Thank you for allowing us to review. We are happy to assist. We were happy to waive the return shipping fee as an apology for the delay in your refund. The refund for the full $212 was refunded to your store credit originally. We were happy to reverse $177.22 back to your credit card on file. The remaining $34.78 was paid for using store credit, so we are unable to reverse this amount. We hope this information helps!

I ordered a "Diamond Select Cuts - **** Pave Diamond Slim Signet Ring", order # **********, on 10/19/23 from Rue La La, for $89.99 ($99.17 with tax), described as: 14-karat gold. After a month of wear, the ring started to look lighter in color. That made me check the ring with a magnifying glass, and I noticed it is stamped with "925" (=silver), not 14kt gold as sold and advertised. I requested a refund, since the product was not as advertised and I would not purchase it as a silver ring. Rue La La responded they are sorry to hear that your purchase didn't work out for you. Because the item has been worn, we arent able to accept it as a return or proceed with a claim. I replied explaining that this is not a case of purchase not working out, but a case of false advertising and deception (based on the *** Guides for the Jewelry, Precious Metals, and ****************** It is unfair or deceptive to misrepresent the type, kind, grade, quality, quantity, metallic content, size, weight, cut, color, character, treatment, substance, durability, serviceability, origin, price, value, preparation, production, manufacture, distribution, or any other material aspect of an industry product. I received an identical email response from Rue La La again..Next I called the support line, and received the same response. After the reps consultation with another department, the rep came back offering a store credit of $25 which I rejected. I request a full refund for the purchase to my credit card on record - not a store credit, including a prepaid return label. I would not purchase the ring if it were described accurately, as gold plated silver. Attached is the product documentation from Rue La La, a picture showing the discoloration next to a true 14kt yellow gold ring and the 925 stamping on the ring, and my order details.The ring is still being offered online with the deceiving description as of 1/12/24, which I think should be corrected immediately.Customer Answer

On Nov. 27th, I placed an order for a pair of Ugg shoes from Rue La La. I received the shoes and gave them as a gift to my daughter. Unfortunately they were too large, so I requested a return shipping label to return for store credit. I received the label from ***** SmartPost. I boxed up the shoes, and I dropped the shoes in the nearest ***** drop box on Dec. 30th. I kept checking emails and my account on **********************'s website. I noticed that I hadn't received a store credit, so I reached out to customer service and was told that they hadn't received the item. We tried tracking the item (tracking number: *******************) and it doesn't show that it was ever picked up out of the drop box. Rue La La's representative suggested that I contact *****. I contacted them about it and was told to make a claim. I attempted to make the claim and then was told that because it was ***** SmartPost that the company (Rue La La) who paid for shipping would need to make the claim.

I purchased a small ***** purse as it was described on website for $2309.33 ******** . When I received my order the bag was extremely smaller than what it was described. I took the purse to the official ***** store in ********* and they confirmed this bag is mini and it was cheaper to buy from ***** store than Rulala. I opened a case with ****** and after few back and forth emails with their customer service, they agreed to accept the item for return and refund. I courier the item on the original package the next day to Rulala and item was delivered and signed on December 21,2023. After many emails and phone calls ,It took them from December 21st to January 8th to confirm that acrefund will be issued but it will take another 5 to 7 business days. Meanwhile I am charged an interest on my credit card for $2309.33. I will never and ever will buy anything from them and have informed all my friends and family the level of service I have received . Now I have to wait patiently to receive my refund and hopefully I will soon obtain a refund as I dont trust this company and their employees at all. They are scammers.Business Response

I cannot even find the Order Numbers they cited when I searched under my Order History. This is all BOGUS and an attempt to not refund me for the items. There is likely almost $1000 that I am owed, but the paperwork they generated makes it impossible to find the order.Business Response
