ou." and then said, "I have sent the request for the refund. Allow them up to 72 business hours to respond."This is ridiculous to wait almost 2 months for a refund as credit cards have interest on them, so I am paying interest on an item I returned in the beginning of December 2022, while getting the runaround. Please refund me the $98.78 as promised by your representatives. I have ordered many things from Anthropologie, but if this is the way I should expect to be treated as a customer, I may have to take my business elsewhere. *************************Business Response

Good Morning,
A refund has been issued for the damaged item. Please allow 1 to 3 business for the funds to post to your card ending in ****.
Thanks,

Please close this complaint as customer satisfied with outcome. I closed it as such previously but does not appear that I did it correctly.is dress and flipped it inside out when they removed it and let their pets sleep on it for weeks before returning to you. I am allergic to animals. I went to the store and purchased a lint roller to remove this hair. After spending two hours removing the never ending hair, I reached out to customer support to initiate a return of this dress so I could order a replacement. The representative that helped me agreed to pay for overnight shipping due to the issues that I have experienced which I was grateful for. ********** - I opened the packaged, I was sent a size 10!! I am so beyond frustrated and disappointed with this horrible experience and I expected much better. Now I have to go back and return this order and because my wedding is in two days, I either have to purchase a new dress or pay my local dry cleaner $160 for an emergency service for a specialty item. Each time i contact them they do not help and still have not refunded my shipping costs.Business Response

We're so sorry to hear of the undue frustrations this has caused you in such an important time. For each order, I have confirmed that a full refund has been issued for all items returned, including any shipping fees. The only charges that are still on any order is for ********** for the items that were kept. I have also confirmed that an additional $8.56 was also issued on this order on 01/30/2023.Initial Complaint

e return tracking number link Anthropologie support shared with me: *************************************************************************** transcript (2).pdf is the chat I had on 1/19. Customer-Support-**********.png is a screenshot of the email I received as the 24-48 hour business follow-up. I reached out again via chat yesterday and forgot to save the transcript, but it was similar to the text message exchanges stating that it takes 2-3 weeks. It's now been another 3 weeks past the given timeframe. I would like to come to a resolution ASAP.Business Response

Two furniture orders placed 1/1/23 and 1/2-23 Policy says you will not be charged till the items ship. Conveniently the items go to ship quick so Anthropologie can grab your money and then conveniently there is delay into more delays of the furniture shipping so no clue Where the merchandise is - no clue When or If will ever receive them!!! Wish I looked up reviews of this poorly run company. I also had to cancel one of the items as there is no way for it to fit through my door and was told I won’t see a refund until all the items ship… poor business practices for a well know “ upscale” brand! Customer service says one thing but won’t verify by emails.Business Response

********,
My apologies for the frustration and confusing our processing has been when placing Furniture orders. I noticed that order ********** appears to have been schedule for delivery but if you have not set up this delivery date, we will need for you to contact our furniture specialist at **************. As for the second order, I notice that your merchandise is being transferred to the delivery company as we speak. They should reach out shortly to cover the delivery details and time frames. Most of our furniture orders can take up to 4 weeks to be delivered to our customers so my apologies those terms was not covered when placing this order.
The fast and easiest resolution with this on going issue I recommend you speak with our furniture department and any of our supervisors on hand can provide some additional assistance.
Sincerely,
Customer service management

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:That has already been done - MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. They are the masters of stating obvious. Unfortunately, they are not the masters of understanding the problem. OR acknowledging the ACTUAL issue.
harge is from Anthropologie and the BRAND is not being represented by ***** at their standard - or mine. I am done with the emails and calls. The problem should have been taken care of on the first call. Even when a third party states there are "no refunds" - again, I was unaware of that information...did not know they even did business with a third party vendor. There are exceptions to every rule - if a third party vendor is not representing a BRAND correctly and sending products that are clearly misrepresented, then there is a larger problem. Anthropologie clearly needs to reevaluate who reps their products. OR, BIG OR - have it clearly stated on the page - ITEM USED - HIGHLY PILLED! I will still do business with Anthropologie, but not on their APP. I can't even begin to imagine them trying to sell that sweater in one of their stores. SHAMEFUL is the word that comes to mind. Very soured on the customer service at this writing - not what it used to be.

THESE ARE BY FAR THE WORST RESPONSES TO A COMPLAINT EVER - THIS EXPLAINS TO ME WHY THEY SHOULD NOT BE REPRESENTING THE ANTHROPOLOGIE BRAND. ANTHROPOLOGIE HAS SINCE REIMBURSED ME FOR THE USED, PILLED SWEATER - THAT HAD SOMEONE'S DRY CLEANING TAG ATTACHED TO IT! IT DOES NOT NEGATE THE COMPLAINT THOUGH. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH - ALL THE RESPONSES THUS FAR WERE COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THE COMPLAINT. AT NO POINT DID I DISPUTE RECEIVING THE ITEM IN QUESTION. I REALLY HOPE ANTHROPOLOGIE REEVALUATES THEIR CONTRACT WITH THIS EXTREMELY DISREPUTABLE THIRD PARTY VENDOR.Initial Complaint

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
I have called delivery company and the stated that they only have the picture and not the rug to be delivered. Also, I'm a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts and will not be home at all the 19th and was not given an alternate date. Also, the supervisor that called and left the voicemail gave me the number to the furniture department in the voicemail and when I called back no one knew who he was. The problem is still not solved.
