They refuse to send me a replacement order or a refund since they kept saying the same thing about how it is my fault that I didn't receive my package. It was never in my hands whatsoever and the only proof they showed me was a photo delivery with ****** which doesn't prove anything since my package can be lost or stolen. When I came home I never saw the package whatsoever and Abercrombie refuses to do anything about it. The fact that I had to contact 5 different support agents and them saying the same script they are allowed to say is disgusting. It should not be this difficult to refund a customer or reship the same order due to not receiving it in the first place.Business Response

I recently received my order, but unfortunately, there were issues with it. I ordered three items: two hoodies and a pair of sweatpants. However, both hoodies were missing, and the sweatpants arrived in the wrong size. I immediately reached out via phone and text to explain the situation. When I called, I was informed that I would be refunded for the two missing hoodies, and I could keep the incorrect-sized sweatpants. Additionally, I was told I would receive compensation for the inconvenience caused. Thats why they said I can keep the wrong sized sweatpants and theyll refund it. However, I later received an email stating that my order had been canceled and that I would not be refunded. I am confused as to why this happened and feel that it is unfair to be charged for items I never received. I spent $214.34 and im feeling helpless. I made the purchase on March 11, and "received" the package March 14.Business Response

My son and I purchased a pair of jeans from online from Hollister in September 2024. Their website stated a USA company,when the jeans arrived the label stated - made in ****** -.They ripped at the seams after wearing just a few times. Poorly made and poor quality but when you call the number they will not admit they were made in ****** nor does their website state this. This is a name brand, well known product that turned out to be fraud - not made in the *** nor good quality. Jeans ripped at the seams and we were not able to repair them. I have called twice to resolve this issue, asked for a new pair and was denied.Business Response

I placed an order for 4 items from Abercrombie last Friday 3/7. I received notification that my items would arrive on Tuesday 3/11, but on Monday, I got notification that they had delivered. I went to my front steps to pick up my items 2 minutes after I received the email and my package was no longer there. I received the email that my order was delivered at 3:07 pm, but the tracking service that delivered my package delivered it at 2:47 pm (see screenshots). Though I received a photo of the package, how do I know if the delivery driver did not take it after taking a photo (which has been reported to happen before in my neighborhood). Shouldnt Abercrombie be held accountable for their poor delivery experience (especially for the delayed delivery notification because who knows what could have happened to that package in the 20 minutes I was not notified of my delivery). Since I refuse to pay for something I did not receive, I called Abercrombie this morning to get assistance and the customer service experience was horrible. Instead of listening to my grievances, the employee on the phone kept apologizing and saying there was nothing they could do since it was a successful delivery (which we do not know as their delivery notification was delayed and we dont know if the driver took it). I even asked for a manager to speak to per my credit card companys instruction and she ignored my request and continued to just apologize and say there was nothing we can do. Furthermore, my housemates Abercrombie package also had the same issue yesterday and she called the same phone number I did and was able to speak to a manager and receive a refund. Despite my requests, I was not given the same experience despite our same exact circumstance. I do not understand how one person is able to receive a refund in this situation and another is not. This whole situation is extremely unfair and Abercrombies customer service was extremely unhelpful and disrespectful to my case.Business Response

January 27, 2025 and January 30, 2025 I purchased items for $310.65 and $65.63. I was given a refund for those returns. February 8, 2025 I ordered an Abercrombie and fitch order for $450. Part of the order was delivered February 12, 2025. The other part was delivered February 14, 2025. There were 13 items returned. I returned the items in separate packages. Every time I have returned something to them I had to reach out about a refund. They are saying I cannot shop there anymore and they will not give me a refund because of a returns fraud investigation. I have a recurring charge of $450 in my bank account as well from ********************** and fitch. I really just want my money back for the items they got back. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing back from you.Business Response

Abercrombie worked with ****** to deliver a package to my place of residence. The delivery occurred on 03/03/2025. When I got home later that day, I could not locate my package. I reached out to Abercrombies customer support who dismissed my request for a refund. They offered to resend the items but I would need to pay again, where they confirmed I would be losing $249.47 that I paid for my missing package. I asked to escalate the issue but they instead suggested I report it to the police to see if they can find the person who may have stolen the package (I am in the process of submitting a police report). This suggestion was comical as they are fully aware the police do not have resources to **** down a package. They denied my request for a refund and said there is nothing more they can do. If Abercrombie is using OnTrac to make their deliveries, they should ensure the carrier is delivering these packages to the customer. If their policy is to deny refunds in these cases, they should offer a shipping option that requires signature at time of delivery. Whos to say that the delivery driver didnt return to take the package after marking the package as delivered. I would like a refund for this purchase as $249.47 is not a small amount of money to lose. Thank you for your time!Business Response
