Purchased multiple items. Most were wrong products, what wasn't the wrong product, didn't fit. Called them. Emailed them. Left Voicemails. Facebook(ed) them. NOTHING. Not a reply, not a comment. Silence. Notice that NOWHERE on the web is the returns shipping address for this company. If you purchase a product you have to wait for THEM to approve your return and IF they choose to provide you an RMA number. They will choose to not send you any return information and they WILL KEEP YOUR MONEY. If you do manage to return the product, LOOK OUT, they will keep your money AND they will keep the products and sell them to another. I purchased items over 30 days ago, and the reason they have that policy is because if they don't contact you in 30 days they can claim to have never received your items.

My daughter's bridal shower is in 2 weeks. I looked all over for nice lingerie, so Fredericks came up. Just ordered from them a few hours ago. No confirmation no nothing, I have been on the phone holding for 2 hours. They finally email me back and give me a ticket number, they never made a change of my zip code. They have to be the worst. Also my money was taken out as soon as I pressed check out. But they have poor customer service. Last time ever. All I need to know is if my zip code was corrected and when the products are arriving. Finally called me back now, they told me they are holding my money and I don't have an order. They are rip offs. The order number is not an order number, it's a ticket number. I am so stressed out. They will hold my money but why if now I don't have an order. Please help, so stressed out.

I wish I had read the reviews before I ordered from them. I placed an order from them on July 15. It was processed and they received payment on July 21st. Two weeks later I hadn't received my products. I attempted to track the items (order shows complete on their website) only to find that it never left their warehouse. After numerous e-mails (only one that was answered) and several calls, the problem still hasn't been resolved. I have been given the same story every time I called.
I asked to speak to the warehouse and was told that was impossible. I asked to speak to someone higher than the call center supervisor and was told that was also not going to happen. I finally requested that I either receive a refund or that my items actually get shipped. I was informed that couldn't happen until the warehouse completed their investigation. Basically they took my money and aren't giving me what I ordered. I'm completely surprised by this. I have never had this problem with them before. I was super excited to order from them. I definitely won't be ordering from them again and I don't recommend that anyone else order from them either.

I ordered 10 items from Fredericks 2 months ago. A full month (and some change) after placing the order, 6 of my items arrived. I have still not received my missing items. When I called to ask I would get the same response from their customer service people "That will be in the mail in 3 business days". Clearly not true. They no longer seem able to answer the phone so now I am trying to get a refund by emailing them. I am so very disappointed. I loved shopping at this store and I loved their products. Since they have been purchased and are online only, the service is so awful I will not be shopping there anymore. It's sad.

I ordered 8 items on August 8, 2015. That Monday I waited for a shipping email and received nothing. Spoke to customer service on Tuesday and they stated my order was on Billing review and that department would contact me to verify my information and they weren't allowed to say anymore. I waited 2 weeks and heard nothing, even though I called 3 to 4 times and even asked to speak with billing. Finally on the 20 something I managed to speak with billing because they were covering for the call center and my order would be processed. They don't tell you if your items are no longer in stock, your order will be held indefinitely until they are! No email notification or notice.
I again had to call and ask. I asked to cancel the out of stock items and they said I had to cancel the order and place a whole new order. Imagine my surprise when the woman said I would have to pay full price for items I had originally purchased on clearance! I told her that was unacceptable and she left me on hold and eventually offered me 20% off the order. My items still took longer than anticipated to ship... and I only am able to get 3 of the 8! Just go to the retail location or somewhere else, they will go out of their way to hide the truth on what your order is doing and have no authority on the phone to even tell you anything!

I placed my order online on 8/6 and haven't received my order. It's now 8/24 and I still haven't received it nor have I received an email or response from Fredericks via online. I called them last week and they advised me that there is NO reason for it not to be sent as the items I ordered are available and just hasn't been shipped yet. I will NEVER spend my money in a Fredericks store again. This is absolutely ridiculous. NEVER HAVE I EVER RECEIVE SUCH ** SERVICE...

It's been exactly 2 weeks since I placed an order with them. My package hadn't even been shipped yet. It wasn't back ordered. I called to speak with them and all they gave me were excuses on how they switched shipping facilities and there's a delay. Don't bother shopping with them, according to everyone else, you'll never get your package. Thanks for ruining my bf's birthday!

I wish I had read these reviews before I gave them my money. Let me first clarify that I went in to my shopping experience excited to be buying from Frederick's again because I used to go to their stores all the time and LOVE their products. This is NOT the company I remember. They shipped only half of my order and I have not received a reply from their email regarding when the second half might ship. I asked if it was on back order because I'd happily find a replacement. No response. I've asked them to cancel the remainder of my order and refund me for that portion but I doubt that will happen. I hate to say this but don't bother with them anymore. This company is disorganized and dishonest about their product availability and will leave you wondering what happened to your money.

Order placed 7/30/15, got order confirmation email that day, money was taken from my account (of course) and now here we are three weeks later 8/20/15 and still haven't gotten a shipping confirmation email. I sent an email to their customer support address listed on their site about a week ago and never got a response. I called their 800 number and was disconnected twice. After being on hold for 25 minutes I finally spoke to a real human being. She informed me that the item I had ordered was out of stock and that they were going to have to cancel the order... UH WHAT? When was I going to be notified of this?
Why was this item available for purchase on their site in the first place if it wasn't even in stock? Anyway she told me I would be getting my money back and she was going to email me a coupon for 15% off my next order... lol no thanks lady. I'm upset because I used to really love getting stuff from them, but honestly I'm not going to ever again. This experience has been awful. Wish I would have read these reviews before I got myself into this mess.

I placed an order for a bridal shower gift 2.5 weeks prior to the occasion. I did not receive the item on time. I called numerous times, it took about 40 min to get through each time. There were a few representatives that were not able to pull up my order even though I provided my name, address and order #. It was the worst experience I ever had. The item finally got shipped after 3.5 weeks, I was told to reject the package, since the cancellation of my order didn't get processed in time. The package was "returned to sender" the same day. I was told the refund would take 15 business days.
It's been about 15 business days and I have not heard from them. It's been over 1.5 months since I placed the order and I am still having to deal with these issues. I've called numerous times, the people who work here are incompetent. Not even the manager is able to help me. They continue to tell me to wait until I receive an email stating they have received my returned item. They owe me over $100 and I am not going to let this poorly ran company take my money. DO NOT SHOP HERE! There is a reason why this company is bankrupt.

Ok, I have always been a loyal customer to Fredericks. Refer all of my friends to buy their bras because they are great, for full-size breast. So here lies the issue, I purchased a bra in June 2015, order the wrong size by mistake. Received the package within a timely manner as always. But, when I returned it, I did an exchange on the returned label. So about in July I called about my exchange. If you placed an order before June 13th you will not get a refund, or exchange, it's merchandise credit ONLY! And it's all because of the new takeover. It took me 35 mins on a Wednesday in July to talk to customer service. They couldn't find my order, or return, because they didn't have the old system anymore, so it took them a while.
After they found my order, they never found my return, so they "forward" my information to the warehouse to find it. Then took my email address and said after the warehouse finds my return, I will receive a merchandise credit. As of today August 17th, I called C.S. and waited 45 mins before I spoke with C.S.and they repeated the same thing as last month. That's when I asked to speak to a supervisor. She apologized over and over with no new solutions. And didn't have my notes from last month because they just got another new system... WHAT THE **. So she was telling me that they don't have my return so I told them they lost it, because I sent it back with Fredericks return label.
To wrap it up, she finally took an extra step, and backed tracked my order and found my return, and guess what?. Forward it back to the warehouse and I'm waiting for an email again for my credit...we shall see. Because I still don't believe it. It's been 2 months no credit, this customer service never been this bad. I wish I didn't have to get credit, I want my money back, and don't have to deal with them for a while until they get it together if they ever do because they're so backed up and not organized.

Ordered 7/21/15. Got it, too small... Got the rma and returned it. They said it can take 10-14 business days to process the return once they receive it (post office said 2 days). My account got deleted. No record of receiving the package. I requested store credit since I wanted to exchange it. It's been more than 2 weeks, they don't see they received it! Thieves I suspect as seeing others' experience now.

Purchased 3 bras and 3 pairs of panties on 07/31/15, on 08/03/15 received confirmation that it was shipped. Received my package a few days later. Nothing I purchased fit, which is shocking because I purchased my true sizes. Also, none of the items had their original tags attached, did I get used products? On 08/10/15 I made another purchase online for the same products but different sizes that I believed would fit.
On 08/11/15 at 8:00 am, I called customer service, 800-323-9525 about sending my order from 7/31/15 back for a refund. She pulled up my order and said none of the items are returnable because they are final sale, WHAT?! When I first purchased them, nowhere on the screen or the email I received did it say these were final sale! So I asked if I can cancel my order made the night before, 8/10/15, she pulls it up and says it has been sent to fulfillment and cannot be cancelled but I can refuse the package when it is delivered. So now I have 1 order that doesn't fit and another order that I'm not 100% sure will fit and out all the money I spent if nothing fits. Only option is to try to resell, but will be difficult since they did not send me items with tags! ** FREDERICKS!!!

They stole my money! I have been asking for my money for 5 months now and I finally got a number to their headquarters and spoke to their CFO, named Doug, and he told me that I will not get anything back, period! Just as simple as that. And when I said that "you're telling me you will not honor your refund policy", he said "yes".

Do not waste your time or money on Frederick's of Hollywood. If I could give them less than 1 star, I would. I placed an order for my friends Bachelorette party after reading their shipment policy stating "Orders placed before 1:00pm PST will be shipped out on the same day. Orders placed after 1:00pm PST will be shipped out on the following day." After 2 weeks of not receiving a confirmation email on shipment I emailed them, never received an email in return. 3 days later I decided to call them to check the status. They told me they had some issues on their end and it will ship out from the warehouse.
I shared my concern on time because the party was fast approaching. 1 week later, still nothing. I called to cancel my order and they told me, not a problem, it had not been sent out yet and not to worry. 1.5 weeks later I get a charge to my credit card (which flagged them as fraudulent company). I called them to place my frustrating concerns about the issue but got nowhere. She had no answers to my questions and was absolutely no help. Their customer service needs major attention. This company is really not worth it. I wish I did a little more research on them before making a purchase. No wonder they are going under. I ended up taking my business to Yandy.com and get the products 2 days later!!

I placed an order with FOH, July 31st 2015 and I received an email confirming my order and of course the money was taken out of the account. My order still has not been shipped, and when I called the 1-800 number, they told me that my order was being processed, but had no idea when it would be shipped. They also said one of the items I ordered was out in the color I had chosen, and when I inquired about replacing the item with another color, which they have in stock in my size, they told me they couldn't make any changes to the order!!!! When I asked to speak to a manager, supervisor or anyone in charge, they said they would have someone call me back, that was a week ago now. After reading all the reviews, I'm afraid that I will never receive my order nor my money back. I had high hopes for Fredericks and was so excited to order from them, unfortunately I will not be ordering from them ever again!

DO NOT EVER purchase anything from this store!!! I placed an order months ago, and returned over $100 in merchandise and I have STILL not received an email confirmation saying my return was accepted (which I know it was since I have the tracking info), or a refund!!! So basically, this store stole my money because I returned the items and they kept my money! I have called 3 times and submitted 2 emails inquiring about this and they just keep telling me I will get a call or an email... which I have yet to receive! My returned items were received by their store almost 2 MONTHS AGO!!! This company is TERRIBLE!!! And the merchandise is cheaply made on top of it!! No wonder they went bankrupt if this is the way they operate!!! Word of advice... stay away from Fredericks!!! And never buy anything from this website ever!!!

I have to say my experience with ordering from Fredericks of Hollywood online has been a nightmare. My order was placed and hadn't shipped out several weeks later. When I contacted Customer Service via email, they said they were updating their computer systems and that the order showed it was still Pending but not yet shipped. I then received the order at home and needed to return an item. When I contacted Customer Service for an RMA (as required on the website), they said they couldn't issue an RMA because the order was still Pending and Not Shipped. I tried to explain that I did already receive my order.
Eventually they said that I could just return the item without an RMA. Weeks later, still no refund. Then they shipped me the entire order AGAIN... which I now have to ship back again. Not to mention, I used a coupon code that they emailed to me for signing up on their website and they did not honor it, saying it was expired (though it was emailed to me that day). They said they'd give me 10% off in the form of a refund, which I still have not received... though they said it would be applied. This company (shipping, ordering, website, etc.) is so unorganized and unprofessional. I have had so many good experiences with other websites. This has by far, been the worst! I will never order from them again.

I placed an order on July 2, 2014 receiving a confirmation email on my order. Two weeks go by and I have nothing and no status of saying that my order was shipped. I called and they said my order is being processed and will be shipped but they have no idea when. Two more weeks go by and I call again and I get the same story. I finally get the shipping email on Aug. 1 which is now a month later stating that my order is being shipped. Now I am looking at the order and it only shows four out of the 10 items I ordered are being shipped. I called today which is Aug. 4th mindful that I still haven't received any of my order and asked "Why are only four items being shipped" and the lady states "Well the other items are on backorder and we have no dates if they will ever be in stock."
I said to the lady "I have waited over a month for my order, called numerous times, emailed twice, and had I not called I would have never known anything about my other half of my order and all the times I called you couldn't tell me that", or they couldn't email me to say my items are on backorder. I never received any response from the emails I sent to them. I told her that I wanted to speak to a supervisor; for her to put me on hold, get back on the phone and tell me that she does not have a supervisor that I can speak to. Really? This is by far the worst customer service experience I have had and I used to like shopping with this company and I will no longer. I waited over a month with no communication to only receive 4 out of the 10 items I ordered to which I still have not received them, yet they say they are on their way. You would have thought the least they could have done was express ship them.

I'll make this short. Today is July 31, I placed my order on July 16. Free shipping was included in this order. I got my confirmation and never got a follow-up shipping confirmation. I sent two emails to support@fredericks.com and customer.support@fredericks.com to no avail. I called 800-323-9525 and spoke with a woman who was minimally competent in the art of communicating effectively. She had "no idea when the order would ship", but she did confirm that the order was paid for and confirmed.
I wait 9 days after my purchase date and proceeded to send six total emails to the aforementioned email addresses. No luck. This morning, Friday, I reverted to calling their help line and was told at 8:09 this morning that the line was closed and to call back between 7 am - 7 pm, M-F. WTF? I'm not expecting much at this point. I used to love this company. I've been shopping here for seven years, this is my first problem. Sadly it is unforgivable.

Placed and order on 7/11 on their website since they've closed the store in Albuquerque. 2 weeks later it hadn't arrived so I checked the website and the order showed "Pending." After making several calls and finally getting a person online all I got was a bunch of apologies and that the order was in the "Fulfillment Center." A week later the order was still in the "Fulfillment Center." I called again, got nothing but apologies and no estimate of when the order would ship. I asked to speak to a manager. Told one would call me back, never happened. Cancelled the order.

Very unhappy with FOH. After going to all locations in my area and seeing that they were all closed, I had to ask around everywhere I went as to why they were closing. Come to find out they have are now an online only store. I wanted to use my gift card I received for a return from my bachelorette party. I call the customer service number on the back of the card to make a balance inquiry... Automated service stated I have $30 remaining.
So I go to FOH online & proceed to make purchases. As I enter the gift card number it says unable to find that gift card number. I call customer service come to find out they do not accept any gift cards... only digital gift cards. Customer service was brief & had attitude & did not understand my frustration. At this point there are tons of customers out there that are not able to use their gift cards. FOH should allow use of these cards in order to have more business. I would have appreciated a notice from all the changes FOH made.

I placed an order on 07.08.15 at approx. 11:30 am PST. My order still states "Processing - Sent to Fulfillment Center." Customer Service only had a canned response from "Corporate" and that they were so sorry about the delay, it will EVENTUALLY ship, and no, they can't cancel the order even if I wanted to cancel it. She had no dates - nothing. She just kept saying she was sorry, it's because of their "transition" and she can only tell me what Corporate tells her to say. 12 business days and no movement on my order.

I ordered a couple of items, and was disappointed when I received them. They were cheap quality, and one item was huge on me and one was way too small (even though both were the same sizes). After looking at their return policy, I realized they don't accept returns on clearance items (which was one of the items I purchased). That was partially my own fault for not looking at the return policy before purchasing, but it would be nice if they had this stated in the clearance section of their website.
So I returned the other item two and a half weeks ago. I received an email saying that they had received my item 14 days ago, and it will take up to 14 days for the refund to appear in my bank account. I sent them an email asking where my refund was, and they responded by saying "Please wait 14 days, it could take up to 30 days to reflect in your account". THIRTY DAYS!? 14 days is a long time... It should take no longer than a week after the company receives the item! So now I'm really curious if I'm even going to get my $30 back. I've always been a big online shopper and tend to order multiple sizes and just return what doesn't fit. I won't be shopping at FOH again because of how ridiculously long it takes to receive a refund.

When checking out online, I was unable to find a place to put in my gift card. Called during their hours on Monday (Sunday no contact available) and was told that their system is not accepting gift cards at this time for an undisclosed amount of time. So I requested that I get the value of the gift card in cash and she said that it wasn't possible. So then I requested that they contact me when I can use the gift card to which she said I'd just have to check back myself. 1) Why don't they notify people on their website that their gift cards are not redeemable at this time? 2) Why can't they give me my money back? 3) Why do I have to do the work to figure out when their system is working instead of them doing the work to notify me?

I ordered 5 bras during the Black Friday weekend. The following Saturday I received one bra in the mail. I was confused and doubled checked the packing slip which said: 5 bras ordered, 5 bras shipped, 0 back ordered. I immediately jumped on the phone to call customer service only to discover Fredrick's of Hollywood customer service closes Saturday afternoon and doesn't reopen until Monday. I tried to find an email address, but had no luck. I even resorted to calling a couple of store locations but was referred back to the customer service hotline.
I recalled the hotline Monday morning only to be told that the bra I ordered was sold out and I could order a similar bra for $11.99, which made me laugh since the 5 bras I ordered were $5.99 each. They wouldn't even price match their own bra! I declined their "fantastic" deal. I was offered 10% off my next order. I then brought up the store Ulta and how they gave their customers gift cards when their order was sold out. I was then offered 15 % off. I am disappointed with this experience. Also flabbergasted that this company had the audacity to place the packing slip claiming the order was complete and shipped. This was a mistake on the packing side which I believe Fredrick's should give some sort of compensation for my inconvenience or was done on purpose and therefore a scam.

My husband bought me about 3 bras and a bikini set on during their sale. This is the 3rd time he shopped here (online). All were size XS which I have some of their items in the past. When I tried them on, all of them are way too big. The bikini top is not a tying type so it only has one size, it has about 5-7 inches extra. The bras were 34A. Loose and cups all scrunched up. I normally buy 32-34B at target and Victoria secret so this is way too big. I even read up on their size chart before letting him make the purchase. I also took out my Aeropostale bikini set (just bought last month) in size XS to compare. Theirs are at least 2 sizes larger overall and for sure is not the same as quoted on their site. To be sure I also took out one bra and one top from a few years back to compared (from their own store).....again, XS now is much larger than before. Of course either I pay to return them on my own or they charge $7.95 or so if I use their label....the order was not a lot and they don't allow return to store. All XS from Aero, Tilly's, Kohls, VS are roughly the same, but Fred's is much, much bigger...they need to keep it the same and same as stated on their site.

I went to 2 different Frederick's Stores and was gravely disappointed in their customer service. They'll do anything to make a sale and anything to deny a return. I tried to return an item 2 days after purchasing it (unworn, tags on) and the rep denied it and was very rude. I went to another store and the manager treated me just as rudely. Be careful about giving these people your money or your information because they'll abuse it. Ultimately the store kept my item and never gave me a refund. So now I have no money and no item. I will never purchase anything from Frederick's ever again. There isn't even a main, corporate office that I can go to about essentially being robbed by their store manager.

I wanted to write a review for this company because I can't find their corporate number and it is too late to call the store. My daughter and I were dress shopping last night for homecoming at the Northgate Mall. She is a bigger girl, and I needed to find her a strapless bra for her gown. I saw the Fredericks store and went into it by myself. I was approached by this sales girl, who made it clear she had no interest in taking care of me and what I wanted. I explained to her what I needed, and asked if they had any strapless bras in her size? She informed me that they did, but, needed to have her measurements.
I went out of the store, and got my daughter and brought her in with me. Now, please picture this, she is young, she's a bigger girl, and was quite embarrassed to go in, but, I assured her it would be fine, and that they had her size. Upon going in, this same sales girl, who seriously acted like we were in her way, came up, and rudely said, "I need her measurements." Then, after I told her she would need to measure her, she told me "Well... I can try..." and began to try and measure her right there in the middle of the store.
I calmly asked if we could go back to a dressing to properly get her measurements, and oh well that was a big deal, like we were bothering her! After we went into the back, and she measured her, she flat out said, "I have nothing for her in my store..." I wanted to deck this little diva, but, I thought the proper thing to do would be to get my daughter out of this store. My kid had tears in her eyes... Never will I step foot in that place again. And if anyone has a number to call in complaints, let me know. Thank you for reading!

WOW! I have always loved Fredrick's! I was so upset when they closed the nearest store. I started ordering online and that seemed to be working. Ya see I have a size that is hard to find and Fredrick's has it! So I have been happily loyal and good with spending more on the products. Until now! I purchased the Heartthrob bra, and really thought I had found my "perfect" bra, but I soon became disappointing with it! It's falling apart and it is almost impossible to clean! What a great concept to have hidden loops for the straps, and I love that you can change the position. I guess the designer didn't take into consideration that those nice heavy duty metal hooks would just saw right through the dainty little loops! Oh and the micro fiber....feels so nice, but it will not hold it's place.
I have had this bra for less than 6 months and it looks like something I found in the trash, and I haven't even worn it everyday. I bought several other bras that I like to rotate. So I called Fredrick's to find out what they could do for me and I got a slap in the face....a big "thanks for your long time business". They were so generous as to give me a whole 15% off my next order! Well thanks a lot! I guess my only course of action now is to spread this very message around! Yes the product is beautiful and mostly reliable, but if you should receive a less than quality product, well..sorry for your luck!

I ordered on the 6th May many lingerie items on the online website. The total of my order was $56 which I was charged the day after. Thereafter, I got an e-mail telling me one of the items was out of stock and was going to be shipped as soon as they receive it. All was good. I received the first items and they look nice. But I was charged on the 23th May an amount that I had no idea where it came from, $18 more than my actual order including all the items. Frederick's won't credit it. Be aware if you order online from another country!!

Last April, I placed an order for multiple items and received free shipping. On October 15, I received a suspicious email for $7.95 for shipping charges. I thought it was a joke because I have always received good customer care from Fredericks. That changed when I called their Customer Service line. I knew something was up when the first thing that happened was that I was transferred to a different office. When I explained the situation, the woman was cold and uncaring. She stated that no one in the company could remove the charges. I offered to send the items back for a refund. If they can come back six months later and bill me for free shipping charges, then I should be able to return the items. She stated that I could not return the items and that corporate was listening in. I am glad that corporate is listening because I will not purchase anything from them again. I am great customer of Fredericks until now!

3 months after I placed and received an order, I received an email from the company stating that $19.95 was going to be charged to my credit card. The company stated it had come to their attention that a billing error occurred at the time I placed my order. The time I placed my order, what actually happened is I used a promotion code REDBOOK20 which was for 20% off and free shipping & handling for purchases over $50. The company was also offering a promotion for free shipping & handling for purchases over $50. My order was $248.99 before the 20% discount ($49.80). My total with tax was $215.59.
When I called the company to try to resolve this issue, I spoke to a rep named Brittney. She was not interested in what I had to say. I tried to explain to her that I had used the Redbook promo code, yet she insisted I could not combine the 2 promo codes which was not the case. I asked to speak with a manager and she refused to let me speak with anyone. She stated that there wasn't a manager working. I called the company back about 15 minutes later. I was on hold for about 35 minutes. I spoke with another rep (Leslie or Lisa , I think). She basically said the same thing. I tried to explain to her that I only used the Redbook promo which gave 20% off and free shipping and handling if greater than $50 worth of merchandise was purchased... She briefly put me on hold then came back and stated that the Red book promo didn't offer free shipping and handling.
I tried to explain to her that in fact it did and when I entered the information at checkout time, it 1) took 20% off my purchase before taxes, and 2) subtracted the shipping and handling fee at checkout.. This is the same information I attempted to relay to the first rep... Neither wanted to hear it.. I have documentation from the date I placed the order and I printed word for word what the Redbook20 promo code said... as well as what the company's promo code stated... I truly believe this is a SCAM. Shame on Frederick's of Hollywood... Even if this isn't a scam, you wait 90 plus days and then you try to make someone pay for YOUR mistake... Who does that??

Same as the other recent reviews. I placed an order 6 months ago in May during a one day sale and received the same email today, October the 15th, saying there's been a billing error. And now I'm being charged for shipping in the next 10 days on my credit card. Honestly, most of my order turned out to be out of stock and never arrived. Now I'm going to be doing what I wouldn't have done at the time I placed the order. Paying shipping that equals more than the single item that was actually in stock and shipped to me. I'm very hesitant to ever place another order with them. It may not be a lot of money, but I don't think it's how you treat customers if you really want to keep them.

Why don't you keep the $10 and just waive that charge? I have made numerous of purchases with FOH, but this simple error could have been overlooked as a write off.

I received a Fredericks of Hollywood gift card for my birthday at the beginning of the year. They do not carry my size in the store so I have to make purchases online. They were having a special for free shipping on your order back in April so I took advantage of the deal and placed an order. I used my gift card for payment and even had a remainder balance left over! 6 months later I receive an e-mail from them stating, "Thank you for being a valued customer. It has come to our attention that at the time you placed your order a billing error occurred. The total shipping and handling fee that was indicated on the order confirmation you received after checkout was not charged at the time of shipment. As a result, the remaining shipping and handling fee will now be charged to the credit card you provided at the time of the purchase."
They're charging me $9.95 for shipping when I had used a "free shipping" promotion code back when I placed the order. They also state in the e-mail that, "We will be charging your credit card within the next 10 business days for the shipping and handling fee shown above, as well as any applicable sales tax." Why are they charging me for tax again?!? Not too happy at the moment. Especially because I placed another order in August using the remainder of the gift card and another shipping promotion and I wouldn't be surprised if I receive this same e-mail another 6 months later in February. My only concern is I'm not sure what credit card they have on file, and this purchase particularly was paid for with a gift card! I'll be contacting their customer service to try and get this straightened out but reading these other reviews I can't imagine I'll get too far. I can always contact my bank and try to put a hold on any future Fredericks charges. Guess I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Today, 10/14/2013, I received an email from Frederick's of Hollywood stating that they were charging my credit card on file for shipping charges related to a purchase made on their website on 5/1/2013. When I made the purchase on their website, shipping charges were supposed to be waived if the order was placed over $75. I purchased over $100 worth of items and was not charged shipping at that time. Now, six (6) months later, I receive an email stating that they were charging me $15.95 for shipping.
I called their "customer service" department to ask for clarity regarding this phantom shipping charge and to request/demand that my charge not be charged for something that I did not consent to or approve of and was told that there was nothing they could do to prevent it from occurring. I asked repeatedly for a supervisor and was told that "there wasn't one available" and then was hung up on by the Billing representative.
Upon calling back into "customer service" I immediately asked to speak with a supervisor/manager but was transferred back to the same Billing Department and received the same treatment. I then called "customer service" again and requested to speak to a Customer Service MANAGER. After going back and forth with the "customer service" representative, I was finally transferred to a MANAGER. However, she told me that although she understood my frustration and anger towards the phantom shipping charges, she told me that there was nothing she could do but to put notes on my account stating my displeasure about being charged now six months after my order was placed.
I have already placed a fraud alert on my credit card and vow to continue calling Frederick's of Hollywood management until I get this matter resolved to my satisfaction. But this is fraudulent and a scam to charge consumers months after an order was made against their consent.

I figure Fredericks of Hollywood is a good company that has a great return policy. If the item you buy online is not what you want, I figured you can return it back to the store like almost all major companies. I was wrong. I bought over $100 worth of jewelry online that looked beautiful. I even bought two of the same jewelry to give as gifts. I finally received it in the mail. Upon opening the package, the pieces fell out stone by stone. It looked like the items were tossed in there and were dropped a hundred times. Some of the packages inside were still sealed but you can see the jewelry in pieces inside of the sealed package. I am infuriated because this happens to arrive on my birthday. I thought this was going to be a good day.
I drove to the local mall. Because that's how I heard about buying items online that if the store doesn't carry (example bra's in my size, etc.) and if I don't like the item, I can return it back to the store anything that was bought online with receipt. That's what got me to buy stuff online. Thinking if I am not satisfied or if something was wrong, I can return it back locally. I was misinformed. The sales lady told me when I arrived with my jewelry that they do not deal with online returns at the stores and I have to deal with mailing it back again. So I called on the phone to get a nice long answering machine instruction. Then I read the paperwork on how to return the item. I have to go to UPS. Pay $7.95 to return the items plus more because I bought over $100 worth and look how sneaky on the recording it says it's wise to add insurance (of course at my own expense) so I don't lose more money than I already have.
As I see it, I paid for a lot of jewelry. Now I am returning broken pieces (still in the sealed package but visually you can see it's broken). A UPS returning fee (goes by weight too), another fee for them because of the amount of item I am returning, plus insurance (in case UPS decides to lose it or maybe Fredericks themselves claims the insurance saying the package came broken because of UPS fault and double banks). I don't know what their scheme is but here I am dealing with all this stress of buying something to get less money back for it and to top it off, there they said expect a credit within two billing cycles to your credit card. I got to wait two months to get my small portion of money back for items I did not keep because they came all in pieces. I will not recommend buying online from them anymore. If you don't see it in the store, walk away. But if you like gambling and losing then by all means good luck buying online.

I placed an order with Fredericks of Hollywood on January 28, 2012. They were offering free ground shipping with a purchase of $95 or more. I paid $10.95 for expedited shipping. When I returned one of the items, my refund was not what I expected. The refund I received I knew would be deducted for using the shipping label they provide you for the return. I was confused on why I received $22 less than what the item was worth.
When I called to question the amount of my refund received, the customer service representative placed me on hold and then came back with this explanation. He stated that the reason the refund was so much lower than the item was because I was also charged for an original shipping charge (as my order dropped to below the amount required for the free shipping, even though I had already received the items). When I said that I didn't know that nor did I see that anywhere, he told me it is in small print in the catalog that the free shipping is subject to be revoked with a return if your order drops below the amount required.
Now, I have looked high and low in every catalog I have of theirs as well as their consumer website and cannot find one trace of this "small print" he said was out there. So, not only did I have to pay $10.95 for expedited shipping, I also had to pay $7.95 for the return as well as $15.95 for my original order. When all was said and done, I ended up paying $34.85 in shipping charges.
All I want is the $15.95 credited to my credit card, as I don't believe that taking advantage of a loyal customer for years this way is honorable consumer relations. I cannot believe that they would charge me shipping for an order already received when I have done so much business with this company for over 15 years.

You guys are all ignorant. There is no such thing as ‘glamour in me’ for Fredericks of Hollywood. Whatever happened is something due on the internet scam and not FOH. I have never even heard of such a thing and I have been shopping in the stores and online for well over 5 years now with no problem. FOH provides the best products and amazing customer service. Get your facts straight first before trying to put down a company’s name.

I was enrolled against my will for a duet’s coupon program of some sort with Fredrick’s of Hollywood for $79.99 on April 6th of 2010. Someone in the organization used my credit card info to do so against my will. After much resistance they did refund my money. No credible explanation or apologies. I had not given consent to sign up.
This did not happen upon ordering on the phone or computer. They just chose to do so because they felt like it. Is this not credit card fraud? Is this not identity theft? It seams that with all the complaints about the very same thing that happened to me there would be some kind of class action suit that would stop these white collar criminals from taking advantage of good people.

Below is a copy of a letter I sent to them. The issue is unauthorized charge on credit card. The representative said it was a membership we had the previous year and this was untrue as we never purchased any kind of membership.
I am writing this letter to you because I couldn’t find the information on who to direct a complaint to. On March 8, 2009 my boyfriend received a credit card statement with a charge for $79.99 for a Fredrick’s Glamour membership services. I guess it is a promotion Fredrick’s is running. The issue I am concerned about is the credit card charge was not authorized and we did not purchase this so-called membership.
I called the telephone number that was on the credit card statement to discuss this issue and when the voice mail answers it automatically redirects the customer to go to membershipstop.com. It was very hard to understand the company name that I had called and I was unsure if I had dialed the correct number; and in verifying the number I did in fact dial correctly. That makes me wonder if there are that many people cancelling memberships where a company sets its voice mail to direct the customers automatically to a website to cancel memberships.
The following day I contacted this company and explained to her we did not purchase this item. She mentioned to me that the membership charge was carried over from 2009. We never purchased a membership of any kind in 2009. Another issue I am concerned with is if this is another company contracted with your company (Fredrick of Hollywood), then how did they get our credit card information? Why isn’t there information on a corporate location to direct a reasonable complaint to? My boyfriend will not allow me to buy products from you again. The consequences are fees from the bank for use of card. Wondering if someone is giving the card number out? If the company that is selling these memberships is a contracted company, then how did they get the credit card information?

A charge of $79.99 appeared on my credit card from "Fredericks Duets." I never shop from Fredericks so I placed it aside to look into the charge. The next day, I received the membership package and realized I had been scammed. This is a totally unauthorized charge and now I see by the complaints online that they are making a practice of this. I never ever accept these discount/savings memberships. I think they are complete rip offs. I was told by their "membership service" rep that she could not remove the charge. She argued that I had accepted it (without being able to show me evidence), and that I would be mailed a form. I've placed a dispute on the charge with the credit card and await their form. This company's business practice is unethical and it is basically committing theft.

I made a purchase via phone from Fredericks of Hollywood in 2007. I recently found out that I have been charged an annual fee of $79.99 to my credit card for a membership program called "Glamour in Me". I was never told of this fee or that I would be enrolled in this program. Apparently, by placing an order, that is your "Agreement" to be charged $80 annually for a "service" that provides absolutely no service at all. This is an absolute rip-off and should not be allowed to continue. I found out that this is not a fee charged directly by FOH, but through an organization with which they partner. Regardless of that fact, this ruins my trust with FOH, and unfortunately, Fredericks of Hollywood has lost a customer due to their partnership with the unethical and scamming organization that they call "Glamour in Me" or "Membership Services". I will tell everyone I know not to do business with Fredericks of Hollywood due to this partnership. I have also opened a dispute with my Credit Card company to deny this charge and reimburse me in the amount of $79.99.

I bought a pair of Gladiator sandals with a 4" heel from FOH back in January 2009. It's not like I rushed to wear them, so they sat in my closet for 5 months before I wore them in my home for all of 15 minutes. Three weeks later, I put them on again; and I noticed that one heel was wobbling and thought it was in the heel from being too skinny. So I took them off, looked at it, and didn't see anything. Within about 20 minutes, the entire heel came apart from the rest of the shoe. I called FOH, and they told me "Tough luck; you only have 3 months to do a return, period. No exceptions."
I am furious, not only because the shoes actually have an assembly flaw, according to the shoe rep guy, but also because FOH sent me a whole size too big. Boy, do they look ugly on me! I had to spend $18 to get the one shoe fixed, and I had hoped FOH would then send me a replacement with reinforced assembly made with screws, not staples.
It's only a matter of time before I have to spend another $18 for the other shoe, so I had hoped FOH would then take them back and send me the correct size as well or return my money! They refused to do either!
