  My wife and I placed an order for over one thousand dollars and my order was shipped in two packages, I received one but not the other. When looking at the delivery photo for one of them, it clearly shows the package was delivered at my front door, but when looking at the other all the picture shows is a picture of my house, nothing else, doesnt show any picture of the package itself. I contacted ******** secret about this and was told I would be receiving a refund because they can clearly see that there was no package delivered to me, and even when checking my ring doorbell it clearly shows no package was delivered to me that day. For some reason today I got an email saying they were unable to process the refund? Im confused as to why they would even offer me a refund to begin with if they knew they were going to blatantly lie and mislead us. My wife has been shopping here for years and weve never had any experience like this with not only ******** secret, but any online retailer. Were both very disappointed with the dishonesty, and to be honest we dont even want to shop here anymore after this horrible experience.

  Complaint: 23129874
  
  I am rejecting this response because: 
  

  Ive contacted you guys countless times about this and every time Im given the same run around. After about 4 calls and countless emails of me explaining the situation, I was finally told that I may be contacted in one day or one month, which is really no help at all as I ordered a lot of these items for a vacation. At this point a dispute might be my only option as it seems like ******** secret is purposefully trying to make everything as difficult as they can to avoid trying to give me a replacement or refund. One of the worst customer service experiences Ive ever had in my life, my wife and I will no longer be shopping at Victorias Secret ever again.

  I want to add that the picture clearly shows there was no package delivered to my house, it was just a simple picture of my house and nothing else whatsoever, no picture of package, or picture of the package itself even being delivered.

  I have a Victorias Secret credit card and unfortunately, I became unemployed back in December 2024 so I signed out for the account assure program which basicallyhelps if you get unemployed, disabled, etc., to pay the balance on your Victorias Secret credit card. They made a payment to Victorias Secret on December 30 of 202 for one 3976. It left a balance on my account of $45.06. ******************************************* charged me a late fee because of interest that was on my account from Assure And now my balance is going back up to $139 and I dont know what the cents are because of unnecessary late fees from Victorias Secret. I call today and speak with a supervisor in regards to why my bill is so high and the supervisor was not very one professional or two accommodating as far as properly explaining to me why my bill had gotten so high he just kept saying review your statement

  I contacted customer service on 2/18 because an item less than $4 was lost in the mail and hadn't arrived by the shipment time frame. The customer service representative processed a return for the wrong tracking number on my order even though I had provided them with this information the chat.I attempted to make a purchase on your website on Saturday 3/12, Sunday 3/13, and on Monday 3/14. My shipping address and/or credit card has been incorrectly tagged as fraudulent and customer service was not knowledgeable in how to make changes so I can continue to shop with your business.Please also review the interaction with the customer service agent because they didn't recap my order correctly.

  I recently attempted to exchange two defective bras, totaling $90, which had broken underwires in the same spot, and the bling was falling off immedielty after i put it on. When I went to the store, the supervisor was rude and hostile. I explained I didn't have the receipt but had the credit cards used for the purchase. She refused the exchange and couldn't provide me a reason and she threw the bras in my face. I was on the phone with customer service during the interaction, and they overheard everything. No one took the time to look me up in the system or ask my name. I felt racially profiled because i was wearing a hijab and treated as though I had stolen the items. l also asked for corporate contact information, but was told by staff that they had other customers to assist and then when trying to ask for assistance they acted like i wasn't there.

  I picked up my online order today. I am missing an entire bra from my order. I am upset because I purchased three bras under the impression I would be receiving three. Two associates were helping me and neither one of them informed me there were items missing from my order. I saw the bra I ordered online sitting on the shelf, and they would not add it to my order. The associate told me they would have to process all of my other items as a return, causing me to lose the coupon I've already used.

  I made a purchase of four items and wanted to return 3. I created a return label using Label Broker per VS. My Label Broker QR was generated and a label printed. I then sent my return off for processing, with the tracking number provided by VS. The item was scanned, accepted, and was DELIVERED to the VS returns agent on 2/20/25. However, VS does not even show my return as shipped. I reached out to customer service and they were completely unhelpful, just telling me return policies instead of responding to my issue. I have a receipt from **** that shows my return was shipped and the tracking indicates it was delivered to **, yet VS is refusing to assist me. I would like the refund for the 3 items that I returned.
