      I placed an online order on 5/18 and the package was delivered on 5/22. I opened it today and was disgusted at the condition of the pants. There is no way this was not seen by the packer. I would also like to mention the outer packaging had a sticker stating it was received damaged. I no longer have an interest in calling the customer service line as they are rude and unhelpful in some instances. There were other items in this order which were fine but to see these pants was mortifying and to think an employee knowingly shipped them is even more concerning. I want a full refund and explanation!

      In addition to receiving a filthy item that had to be seen by the packager, I attempted to go make a return in a store and all ******** Secret systems were down and continue to be down so I am stuck with this item and out of the money spent and whatever promotion used will be forfeited.

      To treat myself for Mother's Day weekend, my husband told me to shop and enjoy myself. I elected to buy from **************************. I found several items on May 10th totalling $525.41. On May 11th I received an unsolicited email stating there was a sale for Mother's Day for 20% off your purchase of $125 or more. Because my order hadn't even shipped yet, I immediately called customer service to ask if they could cancel and reorder or just refund the promo code since it had been less than 24 hours since the order was placed. Knowing I would return everything and request re-shipment of everything to receive the discount, the agent forced me to do so instead of just issuing the credit. Absolutely TERRIBLE business, they cost themselves more in shipping, put an AWFUL taste in the mouth of their consumers who do regular business with them,wasted so much of my time, as the second order shipped in multiple shipments (unlike the first). Now I have to wait 2-3 weeks for the return credit. Both transactions have my VS credit charged to almost $1000 this month, and honestly, it just ruined my week and my Mother's Day weekend dealing with it. Sad they show this like of caring for the Mother's of the world. *************

      I placed an order (#W126148665) with Victorias Secret and returned all paid items in excellent condition (tracking numbers below) except for a free promotional purse I kept. These returns were delivered to Victorias Secret on September 30, 2024. Despite this, I received only a merchandise credit of $180.03, rather than a full refund of $755.42 to my original payment method ending in 5453.Additionally, I returned another package via **** on March 10, 2025 (tracking number **********************) and have received no refund or update on this return.The order number is R004404373. I was issued a merchandise credit for $180.03, which is incorrect and unacceptable I do not want store credit; I am requesting the full refund of $755.44 to my original payment method.I have tried multiple times to resolve this with Victorias Secret, but their representative *** ******* *************) only responds via voicemail and has not returned any calls for over 57 months. I have exhausted all reasonable channels and seek BBBs help to obtain the refund owed to **** also have proof via email of me calling them multiple times so I am done!

      Dear BBB,


      I wanted to provide an update regarding my complaint against Victorias Secret.


      I recently received a voicemail from a representative named ******. When I returned the call, I spoke with another representative named *******. After I gave her my case number and explained the situation, she told me that only *** ******* could handle this matter. I reiterated that I have been waiting for months without any response from Eve.


      Despite acknowledging my long wait, ******* still placed me on hold briefly and then transferred me back to *** ******** voicemail the same person who has consistently failed to respond for over 57 months.


      At this point, I am extremely frustrated with how Victorias Secret is handling my request. I have followed every proper step and have been more than patient. I am requesting that my full refund of $755.44 be issued immediately. This is not how any customer especially one who has waited since 2024 should be treated.

      To be absolutely clear: I do not want any store credit, merchandise credit, gift card, or promotional offer. I am only seeking a full refund to my original payment method. That is the only acceptable resolution to this matter.

      Thank you for continuing to assist with this matter.

      Sincerely,
      ***** *****

      The business has contacted me directly via email, but they have not provided any resolution. They continue referring me to *** *******, who has not responded to any of my calls or messages for over 57 months. This individual has proven completely unresponsive, and I have made that clear in my communication.


      I have requested multiple times to speak with another representative, but they continue to insist that only one person can help despite that persons failure to assist or respond for months.


      I am still waiting for my full refund of $755.44 to my original payment method. The partial merchandise credit of $180.03 that was issued is not acceptable, and I have no interest in store credit. This issue remains unresolved, and I am asking the BBB to continue to assist in holding the company accountable.

      It has now been 7 days since the companys last message on May 23, and I have still not received any resolution or communication beyond the same generic reply Ive been getting for over 57 months.


      Victorias Secret continues to tell me that only one person, *** *******, can assist me but she has never responded to any of my voicemails. Ive asked repeatedly to work with someone else, and they continue ignoring that request.


      I am requesting the BBB to continue keeping this complaint open as unresolved. I am owed a full refund of $755.43 my original payment method not merchandise credit. I have been extremely patient, but the company is not taking accountability or offering any path to resolution.


      I am now preparing to escalate this issue to the Attorney General, CFPB, and public consumer platforms if this is not resolved immediately.


      Thank you,

      Complaint: 23351350

      I am rejecting this response because: 

      This response is unacceptable. I have been waiting for a refund since September 2024, and *** ******* has never returned a single call or voicemail in nearly 9 months. Victorias Secret continues to copy and paste the same message referring me to Eve, despite my repeated requests for someone else to assist me.


      This is clearly a stall tactic, not a resolution. I am asking the BBB to keep this case open and marked unresolved until a full refund of $755.44 is issued to my original payment method. I do not accept store credit, and I do not wish to speak with *** ******* after nearly a year of being ignored.


      If this is not resolved immediately, I will escalate to the *******************************************************************

      My husband purchased a $40 gift card in May 2025 to Victorias Secret as a gift for me. We then found out that the gift card is not actually redeemable in online stores because it was purchased in ******, and only gift cards purchased in the ** are redeemable online. My card can only be redeemed at a physical Canadian store, and the nearest one to me is a 5-hour drive away. Nowhere on the gift card itself or the packaging does it indicate that the card is not redeemable in online stores. On the *** page of the Victorias Secret webpage, there are even instructions for how to redeem a gift card for online purchases; however, this apparently only applies to US gift cards (which is not indicated on the *** page). I called customer service and was told that nothing could be done about my situation and the only way to use my gift card would be to drive to the nearest physical store 5 hours away. I asked if the customer service *** could help me redeem the gift card online, if I could call a physical store and have them redeem the card and then ship me my purchase, or if I could receive a refund in some way and was told no to all my questions.

      The item I returned I did not see my refund on my statement then I contacted customer service and was told it would take 24days !!!! That is insanely long for such a big company to take sooo long to process returns . Also then when I contacted vs credit card I noticed a late fee because I paid after 5pm the same day the fee was $27 so I called the bank that handles the credit card they said th can only waive $15 when I spoke to a previous agent they told me they would waive the fee for me they give you incorrect information and are extremely rude and unhelpful . The quality of their items has gone down hill and so has the company horrible service !!!! Crazy horrible customer support when you have an issue dont even bother take your business elsewhere !! No wonder most of their items are found in the thrift shop for extra cheap now a days the quality is very poor and the service as well !

      I have ordered items online and paid via Venmo $134.90. Part of my order was shipped and one item was cancelled , but remaining balance was never refunded to my bank/ Venmo account.I called regarding that and I was told that the item was backordered. I called today and I my order was changed without my consent and I was not reimbursed for changes was told that I have to contact my bank and solve issue through them. I think it will require additional time and effort on my part, and my bank do not have records of reimbursement, and it was charged directly to my bank account

      Hi Melike,
      Thank you for reaching out regarding your recent online order attempt. We're sorry to hear that your order did not go through.


      After further review of the information provided, we do not have record of a successful purchase with only the mentioned items. We have record of 3 separate orders placed on 4/1/2025 that have processed, shipped and delivered to the address provided. While these orders do include the mentioned products, there are additional items included on the transactions. 
      If there is another order that was attempted, it was not successfully placed. This could result in a pending authorization on your account. Pending Authorizations can take 3-5 business days however we recommend speaking with your financial institution for additional details on their holding times. Since there is no successful order placed with the information you provided, we recommend disputing the charge with your financial institution as we have no record of an order or charge. 

      Please let us know if we can support further.

      Kindly,

      ***** *.

      Complaint: 23248967

      I am rejecting this response because: I placed an order through the Victorias Secret mobile application, but I was told that they couldnt resolve the issue because the order was not placed through their official site. However, as shown in my bank receipt, a charge of approximately $80 was made under the name of Victorias Secret.


      They claim that the charge is not related to them, that the money was withdrawn but they cannot see any order associated with it. My issue still has not been resolved in any way. I explained that I cannot go to my bank because I am currently abroad. When I call my bank, they say I need to visit a branch in person.


      This situation has not been solved on the contrary, I feel like Ive been scammed. Since the money was withdrawn to their account, they should be able to see the invoice even if no confirmation email was sent. I feel completely defrauded. I am requesting that the payment be refunded to me. My bank confirms the transaction was completed, but I have not received any product and there has been no refund either.



      Regards,
