      Ordering from the online store has been a complete disaster. Sizing was off, exchanging was difficult, shipping afterwards has been terrible, and their customer support since had been awful and rude. I tried to order a dress for my birthday event. I ordered it a month ahead of time, to give myself some extra wiggle room in case shipping took forever. First shipping was surprisingly fast, but the dress was way too big, despite using the sizing chart. I went through the whole exchange process, and waited, waited, and waited despite ***** saying my return was accepted, A&F didnt accept it for another week and a half after that, and didnt dispatch the exchange for several more days. Their use of ****** shipping has only made it much, much worse because now, my event is tomorrow, and I dont have a dress. A&F customer support are incapable of writing actual responses to inquiries, preferring to copy and paste non-responses to simple requests for help and updates throughout this process. Their use of the worlds worst shipping service is just the crappy cherry on top. I will never order from here again, based on this experience. When (and if!) the dress actually arrives, Im turning around and returning it, too. A company that doesnt actually respect its customers time and money doesnt deserve to take my cash.

      I have never been treated like this by any other company in my life. They are stealing $90 from me and seem to be perpetrating fraud against customers repeatedly.I ordered 5 pairs of jeans in order to find the fit & size that worked for me, a total of $450. Only 4 pairs of jeans arrived when the order was delivered. I reached out within the first 30 mins after delivery to let them know that there was an item missing in the order ($90), I was told they'd refund that item but within an hour of that communication with support, the refund was canceled. When I reached customer service they said they'd send it to their "investigations team". After the "investigations team" reviewed, they communicated that they were sticking with their original decision to deny refund. I pointed out that they were stealing $90 from me & that this is a recurring issue as shown by reviews on ***************************** like Reddit. They again replied that they wouldn't be honoring a refund for the missing item. "We understand that this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, and we would like to extend our sincerest apologies. Please rest assured that we carefully evaluated all factors before reaching this conclusion." How exactly can you evaluate all the factors before reaching a conclusion when 4 items arrived at my house when I was owed 5?! That's literally the only factor to consider. I have a few pairs to return to ********** assuming that process won't go smoothly either. As another reviewer wrote - DO NOT BUY FROM ABERCROMBIE & if you have already, RECORD YOURSELF OPENING YOUR PACKAGE. This is a recurrent fraudulent act that Abercrombie is continually doing to customers. They either have a major theft issue in their distribution centers or are intentionally sending out orders with missing items in order to pad their sales numbers. Either way, it seems to be a recurring problem & incredibly intentional. I'll be contacting my state's attorneys general office of consumer protection next.

      Abercrombie's policy on stolen packages is absolutely unacceptable. Despite being a massive company, they offer no buyer protection and continue to rely on ******* shipping partner notorious for issues. When my package was stolen within two hours of delivery, Abercrombie's solution was to let me repurchase the items at the same price with free shipping. Meanwhile, another retailer fully refunded my stolen package with no hassle when a replacement wasn't in stock. Abercrombie's suggestion to "seek help from local authorities" is laughable and entirely unhelpful. They also threw in a one-time 20% discount, as if I'd ever shop with them again. I had another $400 order delivered successfully the day before, that is over $600 spent in one weekend. Are you KIDDING me?The responsibility for ensuring package delivery lies with Abercrombie and their shipping partnernot the customer. Its absurd to shift the burden to consumers, especially loyal ones like me who have spent thousands of dollars with the brand in the past year. With so many other brands, like Revolve and Quince, offering better service and buyer protection, theres no reason to stick with a company that treats its customers so poorly. Due to their archaic policies and complete lack of accountability, Ill never spend another dollar at Abercrombie. There are far better options out there.

      Abercrombie's shipping partner ****** completely misplaced my order and delivered it to a wrong address that was not the address on the package. Ontrac marked this delivery as "Completed" and attached a picture for proof, however, the picture was not my house and did not have any identifiable markers for me to investigate.I contacted Abercrombie customer support immediately, showing a picture of the front of my house. They at first offered to replace my package, and then changed their mind a few days later saying they will not honor the replacement and I should seek help via "local authorities". 1 - Why would Abercrombie offer to resolve my issue and then change their decision? This whiplash is not a satisfactory way to handle customer service requests.2 - How would I be able to ask my local authorities to help without any leads as to where OnTrac delivered it to? Abercrombie has the partner relationship with ****** and should lead the investigation, instead of putting the burden on the consumer. It seems like they are asking me / the local policy to walk down every street in my city with hopes of matching the house on the picture!Thankfully I was able to dispute the charge through my credit card company (shout-out to Chase ******** ******* benefits). I have been a loyal customer for many years with a high propensity to spend, but cannot justify continuing to spend with a company that does not prioritize customer satisfaction or even a basic fulfillment of the goods promised. There are plenty of other competitor brands out there that are more reliable (i.e. Revolve, Quince, **************) and I recommend you spend your dollars there instead.

      Urgent: Resolution Required for Incorrect Shipment and Refund I am writing to express my serious concern and frustration regarding your mishandling of my order and the lack of accountability demonstrated by your team. This is not only highly unprofessional but also borders on unethical and illegal business ************ recap:Order 1 (): Arrived correctly with no issues.Order 2 (): Arrived attached to Order 1 but contained the wrong items. Instead of the 3 items I purchased (2 shirts and 1 pair of shorts), the package included entirely different Abercrombie items with tags, despite the correct packing slip being enclosed. This mistake was on your end, not mine.After 3 calls, Your customer service team initially assured me that the correct items would be resent and that I should donate the incorrect items. However, without any explanation, I received a 3 rude follow-up emails stating that the reorder was canceled with no explanation. I am entitled to the items I purchased or a full refund. Refusing to fulfill my paid order or provide a valid explanation for your decision constitutes a clear breach of consumer rights and fair business practices.

      Hello - Abercrombie customer service just gave a partial credit few days ago - yet still blamed me. There is no reason to not give me full credit. I responded to customer service and as usual they ignored me. There clearly is a problem at your distribution fulfillment center mid-packing orders and you refuse to take accountability.Keeping my money while making errors with your distribution is fraud.

      I ordered a cardigan and **** set that retails for $90 along with other items. When I received my package the cami was missing from the set. I contacted customer service and they said they will send a replacement set. A couple hours later I received an email saying they cancelled the order and have confirmed with the distribution center that all items were put in the package and are blaming it on theft off my porch. Why would someone open a package, steal a cami from a set, leave everything else in the package, and reseal it perfectly. These people have no logic whatsoever. So I contacted them again and explained the situation again. They agreed to look it over. Again, I get an email saying theyre sorry and wont do anything about it. I replied to the email 2 more times saying all I want is to get what I paid for. Im not asking them to go above and beyond. They completely ignored me. I am just shocked. The distribution center has been messing up a lot. Last month I ordered a wool trench for $180 and that was missing from a large order. Thank fully they agreed to refund me for that. I am now hesitant to shop there even though 95% of my closet is A&F. So disappointed in the company.

      Terrible company to deal with. I am still waiting on a refund, that I have a receipt for, since 10/25/24. The representative that I first spoke with was unable to properly send my case along and now I have to wait even longer. Had I not checked with them again I would still be waiting without any idea as to what is going on. Maybe they are going bankrupt? No other company I have dealt with is this inefficient. To anyone reading this, I highly recommend shopping elsewhere. This company does not value their customers. Disappointing.

      I contacted them multiple times last year after they did not deliver my items to me correctly. The customer representatives are out sourced from 3rd world countries and dont understand. The representative I spoke with initially stated that he would issue me a refund. Upon waiting a few weeks I called back and was told I should receive the refund and to wait a few days for processing. After this I waited and waited and called 5 more times being told a refund would be processed. I never received that refund till date. Awful customer service, they kept my money and didnt give me anything in return.

      I want to start by saying I've been a loyal shopper for many years and never had a problem with customer service until recently. I ordered over $300 worth of clothes, and an item was missing from the sealed poly mailer that was listed on the packing slip. I reported this to customer service and asked for a refund or reship. The request was approved, then cancelled 3 hours later. I tried appealing the decision over the phone, but was denied again. They clearly have a problem with their distribution center, however they blamed their mistake on theft and recommended I speak to the police. How and why would someone open a bag of $300 worth of merchandise, take 1 $34 t-shirt, leave the rest, and then reseal the bag perfectly? Flimsy logic in my opinion.A warning to anyone ordering online: Do not expect good customer service if something goes wrong with your order. A&F would rather you have to contact them 3+ times and dispute the charge with your credit card than give you a cent of the money you're owed or the merchandise you paid for.
