I made an online purchase on June 8, 2023 order number **********, I prolonged making a return due to contracting covid. Today, July 26, 2023. I went to my local Victoria Secret store to return the items. The associate who assisted was very rude, she quickly without explanation advised me that I would receive a gift card since I paid with a gift card. I advise the associate I've never paid with a gift card. She simply shrug her shoulders and repeated that I'd get a gift card. I requested to speak to a manager, and she excitedly reply with "I'm the manager" I asked her why was I receiving a gift card when I never paid with a gift card, she responded " I don't know" and called another manager ********. Who advised her of a 30 day return policy, which was recently change. I advised her I wasn't aware of the change, nor does the store offer any written policy for customers to read. ******** was called to the front, after the return was processed and I had requested NOT to have the return processes. When speaking to ********, I was met with an arrogant, unprofessional, rude individual. Asside from wearing a very reveling outfit, she stated that my receipt has the policy. I advised her that I purchased the items online and the confirmation did not reflect 30 day policy. I advised ******** I contact corp, she rudely and mockingly she responded with a "Call whoever your heart desires" I asked her to provide me with the others associated name, she openly refused to. Very disappointed in the customer service and unprofessional appearance and demeanor from the associates at the Cerritos Mall.
I recorded ******** unprofessionalism, I'm happy to share with media or VS management.Business Response

Hello, I'm sorry to report that I didn't receive my order from Victoria's Secret online store. The order number is **********, and it was supposed to contain eleven items. According to the tracking number ***************, OnTrac delivered the package on July 17th at 11:15 a.m. without requiring a signature. Unfortunately, I haven't received the package yet. I tried to contact customer service through chat, but I couldn't reach anyone. Could you please assist me in getting a replacement for my missing package? I would appreciate it if Victoria's Secret could use a different courier, such as UPS, to reship the items. I have attached documentation proving my claim and would like the BBB to help me resolve this issue. Thank you for your assistance.Business Response

I have been a loyal customer of Victorias Secret for at least a decade. Back in May, I walked into the V.S., West Chester location of Ohio to purchase a few items. I ended up buying 10 pairs of panties and 2 bras. My total was about $200ish. The panties themselves cost $70 alone. I’ve washed these underwear twice and the elastic is completely coming out. I wash all my undergarments on delicate and have for years. I believe this is a bad batch of underwear. The quality has never been this terrible over all these years. I always bought the same type of panty from V.S. I’m truly upset because the corporate office was supposed to send me a gift card to buy more panties. They have been dishonest this whole time. I have called back multiple times and they still have not sent anything to my email. Please help me resolve this situation.Business Response

They are marketing period panties that suppose to hold a heavy period without using anything in the panty and is not suppose to leak, but unfortunately it did leak and I used a pad to try and make sure and it went around the pad and onto the panty. The marketing states that they are not supposed to leak and I am at work and cannot change and these panties leaked. I would like them to reimburse me for my 8 pairs that I bought and get rid of the false marketing false marketing. I took pictures also I bought these at Ontario mills mall in Inland empire. I hope I’m contacting the headquarters!Business Response

I went to the store in Clarksville Tn. I did have my 2 little girls with me ages 3 and 5. I was looking at bras and i am a thick girl. From the moment I stepped a foot in the door I felt uncomfortable it was just the looks i was being given from the employees. My little girls trying to be like mommy were wanting to smell the sprays and stuff and one worker cleared her throat and rolled her eyes and turned away. At this point I was so upset I couldnt even ask for help I needed for the bras that I drove 2 hours away for!! I will NEVER go back inside another victoria secret again!!!Business Response
