    Stay away from this company!! They sent us an extra item we never ordered and charged us $39.99 for a tote bag.... Their packing slip shows the seven items we did order and then the tote added.... No prices listed anywhere... so you would think that the tote was a gift for being a new customer. We spoke to their specialist. He says it was an accident but cannot send us a return label in the mail so we can send it back and get our refund.... Also their policy would be you don't receive a full refund. A $11.95 charge exists.

    I ordered one item from Womanwithin from a flyer that came in the mail. Shipping was free and the price was good. That is the best part of my relationship with them. I recently placed another order with them and when I checked my credit card I saw that I was previously charged $16.95 for "merchandise" that I never ordered or received. The total charge was $18.31. When I inquired what the charge was for I was told that it was a Membership Reward Program. I never signed up for it and there is nothing on their website about it. I will call the number I was given for Clarus Commerce who supposedly runs the reward program. Seems like a run around and the whole thing is deceptive.

    I have been buying from Woman Within for many years. I stopped returning items because I have hundreds of dollars in exchanges and returns that I never got credit for. The sizing???? Why when I order 3 shirts, the only difference is colors but they come in all different sizes. They all say the exact same thing but are clearly off by 1-2 sizes. It's bad enough that most of woman within clothes shrink so much or start to fall apart after just one wash. I would never order from them again but unfortunately they are the only company that offers clothing in my size.

    I have received wrong picks and wrong items and directly donate them instead of going thru the frustration of trying to get a credit. The sizing difference in the same item with the same size numbers is very frustrating. I understand having to pay more for an item because of it being offered in big sizes but to finally find what I'm looking for and then all three of the same items come in different sizes is so frustrating and such a waste of money. Woman within and all of its sister companies definitely have the market cornered on plus size and it's nice that you can use the credit card across all the stores but not if you don't have consistent product and return policies.

    Very questionable company. Made a one time purchase on my husband’s credit card. 10 months after he’s asking me who’s Woman Within and why are they charging us $18 a month. I called the general customer service to get a refund because I did not agree to a membership or recall receiving any info on that. The first customer service representative gave me a number to call, which she confirmed when I repeated it back. However, the number turned out to be non-existent. When I called again, I was given a different number and told they were closed for the day and to try again tomorrow. Despite this, I called anyway and managed to reach someone who provided yet another number, stating it was available 24/7. I am now in the process of receiving a refund for 10 months. The whole process just felt very shady and will not be using their services ever again.

    Do NOT order from this company! Returns and exchanges are incredibly difficult and EXPENSIVE! And customer service reps do not seem to be in the United States and can only read a script, as in, completely unable to think for themselves. This company is only about making exchanges as difficult and as expensive as possible. They penalize the customer for not ordering the correct size.

    Was not able to get an extension on a return by seven days even from a supervisor when I was not able to return an item on time due to a death in my family and having to go out of state and take care of things which yes, took over 60 days! Sometimes there is a valid excuse and it surprises me that a supervisor is not able to recognize this and make an exception. Losing a customer would seem more important that a return of a sweatshirt and two tank tops. There are so many other places to shop.. One would think that Woman Within could see that and place more value on me as a customer.

    Don’t shop with Woman Within. They have inferior goods made with cheap materials. I have sensitive skin and only like cotton. Their cotton that is used for their clothes is cheap and scratchy. Also, their customer service is horrible. I have been a customer for while and have always paid my bills on time and in full. One time I mailed my check off 3 days before it was due. They claimed they received it too late and I would have to pay the late fee of $29. I refused because I can’t help it if the mail got there late. The next month they put my late fee up to $60. I again called them and complained. This time he said they would waive the $29 because it was my first time but I would have to pay the later $31. Why didn’t they tell me that in the first place? I am finished with them!

But should you order something that does not fit they charge a processing fee to return it. They call it "happy returns". But are charging a $10.49 processing fee on a $15.99 item.

    I hope consumers come here to read reviews before purchasing. Woman Within is a rip off. I purchased 2 nightgowns and paid shipping. I wore one only one night, washed it and it was falling apart at the seams where there is a embroidery strip. I called to tell them I would like a replacement and was told they do not take back worn or washed clothing. They would give me 20% off. What a joke. This is bad quality and even worse customer service. I will never purchase from you again and will take the opportunity to leave my review every place I can. Again, washed 1 time and falling apart, should I really have to mend something I just purchased and wore less than 24 hours then washed? It's not my fault it fell apart in the washer, poor craftsmanship is to blame and you should be more than willing to replace it or give a full refund.

    Although the quality of the clothes is pretty good, the return policy and shipping fee policy is atrocious enough that I would never buy from them again. I spent a good deal of time trying to figure out how to get around the shipping cost and the only way you could do that is to have one of their credit cards because you get free shipping four times a year. Of course, you have to get a catalog and get the free shipping code off of that catalog because if you don't do that you won't get free shipping unless you call to place the order.

    The shipping is outrageously expensive, and I think it's that way so that you'll get one of their cards or get a membership where they claim you'll get free shipping, but you're paying for that membership monthly, and if you're not buying clothes every month, it's not worth it. It's the worst scam I've ever seen. Also the exchange policy is horrendous as well. You'll have to go through a whole process and if you are not returning for the exact same thing you get charged to return return plus you get charged new shipping. I managed to raise enough of a fuss that I least didn't get charged for returning the items, but I got charged for shipping new items, which to me is the same thing. They lost nothing in the process. I am an attorney, so I'm looking into their business practices to see if there's a way to bring some heat on them.

    The pants I ordered were poorly made and the material felt cheap. I'm upset because if I spend over $50 on 2 pairs of pants I expect them to be good quality. What makes it worse is they charge you $15 minimum for shipping no matter how much you spend and if you want to return anything they want to give you a store gift card or they will charge you $11 minimum to return what you spent to your original payment method. Why on earth would I chance buying anything else and risk having the same issues? I will never ever order anything from this janky company again!

    I am a 3X size woman. I like the variety and clearance prices of Woman Within (and associated companies). I have ordered a lot of clothes from them for years. I especially like the tunic length, notch neck tops and the cotton underwear. One thing I do not like is their high shipping price. It just about cancels out the sale price of my order. I can only afford their clothes when they have a site wide half price sale. For the price of shipping one would think you would get your order in 2-3 days, but it usually takes two weeks. They have the slowest shipping time of any American based company I order from. It would be nice if one could at least combine a free or reduced shipping code along with the half off code. I could order more often if they implemented this. Sincerely, C.G.

    I placed 2 orders that went well, I was happy. Then my 3rd order for over $1000, did not arrive. I called the 1-800#, and received the run around from multiple staff! I was told "it's not our business hours", and "you need to call our international #", I had already and it sounded like the same representative, on the weekend. They advertised 24- 7 assistance by phone. After lots different representatives, finally one worker pointed out "it's because your email box is full", I knew that already. What I need to know is why other businesses found another way to deal with this? Others text or send paper mail notifications.

    Then she said insufficient funds, which is hilarious because I can see my bank account was deducted and not returned the amount taken. There had been funds available but I've now canceled my credit cards due to shady business. 6 out of 7 representatives could not see the information in regards to my email boxes full. They kept my money and 1.5 months later, I still do not have the product I paid for.

    I use to order from Woman Within all the time years ago with decent prices and deals, but now my recent order has been hell.

I placed an order but never got a email or anything after placing it, my account wasn't showing any order but my credit card was showing a charge. After a few days I called to see what was going on and they tried to tell me that I placed the order while I was not login to my account (not true), so they then said I'd have to call their IT department which never answered the phone.

    Next day I got my order so I didn't worry about the order not showing up on the account. Now, what I ordered did not fit so I called them to get an exchanged, I asked the customer service agent I said I wanted an exchange how does that work. She said I would have to return the clothes first and then I can just go back on the website and do the exchange. I returned the items, and then about a couple of weeks later I get a letter that had a gift card number on it as a refund?

    I purchased 2 pairs of jeans from Woman Within. The size I selected was based on Woman Within's recommendation based on the size I wear in other brands. The jeans received were too small, so I had to return/exchange them. Oh, okay, to get a full refund, I have to drive almost 20 miles to a store in Pueblo (not a Woman Within store). No, what else can I do? Oh, to return via USPS, a couple miles from my house, $10+ will be deducted from my return. So, I already paid $14.98 shipping to get the jeans (based on WW size recommendation), plus $4.13 in tax, and I'll have to pay $10+ to return them. I'm sure part of the shipping I paid to get the jeans was based on the seven catalogs that were included in the package.

    Worked with customer service and got the money that was due me. Only giving one additional star though, because I still don’t like the way they handle returns. There should be a “cash back” option with free returns. Especially since this involved clothing.

    Original Review: March 17, 2024

    I wish I could post this at the top of the Woman Within website with the header “BUYER BEWARE!” I love the quality of the clothes I’ve gotten from this company, but their return procedure STINKS! I placed two different orders recently and got a 7x shirt instead of XL, a completely different shirt than what I had ordered, and a cheap oversized t-shirt instead of the pants I ordered. THREE mistakes over two different orders. In spite of the fact that these were THEIR mistakes, they required me to file a return claim. I then had to return through a completely different company, Happy Returns.

    Of the three items I returned, I only got a gift card back for one item, and that amount was $2 less than the original price I paid. I am so mad! Trying to work with their customer service is ridiculous, so I’ve decided I’m taking the loss. Wish I would have read this site and had seen their incredibly low reviews before ever having bought from them. Now I’m destined to receiving three or four of their ad magazines in the mail for the rest of my life. BLAH!

    I made several purchases from Woman Within, Roaman's and Catherines back in September. I signed up for the "Rewards" program which was to give you a refund on the cost of shipping (which by the way is exorbitant) and also was to give free return shipping. I followed all the directions to "apply" for the refund of the shipping...twice! The second time I submitted all the requests with a CS service rep on the phone with me and I submitted everything just EXACTLY as I was instructed to do. I made the purchases in September and the 2nd time I tried to submit the requests with the CS on the phone with me was in October of 2023. But...nothing. No refund, nothing.

    I spent an hour the first time I submitted everything per the online instructions, and then almost 2 hours with the CS rep on the phone with me. All that was a complete waste of time as I have never received the refunds. We are talking here about $143 dollars worth of shipping for one large and 6 small orders. I will say, the reason their shipping cost is so high is because with EACH order, they also ship about 20 lbs of catalogs - one from each of their many sites and sometimes more than one of each. It is absolutely ridiculous! In some cases an order weighed less than a pound, but with 20 lbs of catalogs made the weight extremely high. Ok, maybe it was only 10 lbs of catalogs each (and that's NOT an exaggeration because I weighed them), but still.

    Bottom line: I will never order from Woman Within again, or from any of their sister sites. I have ordered in the past and had a good experience, shipping cost was not exorbitant and I was happy with my experience. But never again. Fortunately, after being charged $16.95 a month for 2 months I realized I was being scammed and I stopped any further deductions. Now I buy my clothes on Amazon. Free shipping, free returns with Amazon Prime. I will NEVER use any company in the Fullbeauty Brands family of companies, they are a total scam outfit now.

Needless to say, I will NEVER order anything from them again. I wanted to give them a 0 rating experience, but it insists that you select at least one star.

I ordered Sketcher runners from their site and this was transferred to a third party that does not accept the 40% off coupon.

    I ordered three short sleeved, crew neck tunics. Two were made in Pakistan and came out of the dryer (after cool down) wrinkled with the ribbing at the neck twisted. Also, the side seams weren't sewn straight. The third tunic was made in Mauritius and came out beautifully. It felt like a completely different fabric, although all 3 are marked 100% cotton. I've ordered these tunics in many variations over the years, and none were as poorly made as the two from Pakistan I recently received.

    I placed an order for $168.27 on Feb 12, 2024. Ellos deducted $168.27 from my checking account on that date. Today, Feb 15, 2024 they have deducted $168.28. So, they have deducted a total of $336.55 from my account for a purchase of $168.27. I called, they said the first deduction was pending (when the order was place) and would come off tomorrow. The second deduction they said was when the order shipped. So, what it amounts to is they have used my money for FREE for approx. 4 days plus I don't have access to it for approx. 4 days. Assuming this is done on all customers it's a HUGE amount of money they are using for free.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold for over 10 minutes. When the associate finally came back she said they were not available and someone would call me in the next 24 hours.

    I placed orders online for several years with no trouble and enjoyed the clothing. For the past 2 years or so I have attempted to place orders and have had nothing but issues and bank holds on my money for days on end. The first time this happened I didn't know what was happening and the error message kept saying there was an issue with my address which I kept trying to correct. I couldn't ever see anything wrong with the shipping, nor the billing address so I would attempt the order again and again. I was unable to be successful and finally gave up for the evening.

    The next day I noticed over $800.00 being held out of my account on a soft hold. I could not access my money and was overdrawn in my account. I do not use a credit card as I believe in living within my means so I use debit and when I use my card the money comes directly out of my checking account. I called the company immediately and they kept trying to reassure me that my bank or card had not been charged at all. it was more than frustrating. I could not make them understand what happened. I have attempted to order several times since but only one time and this keeps happening.

    Today I created a brand new account using my husband's name, debit card and our address. I wanted to take advantage of the denim sale and blouse sale. Today the error message was that there was insufficient funds in our account. We have more than enough in our account to cover the cost and now the amount is being held for days again. I am so frustrated!!!! I guess I will not be able to get someone on the phone who can understand me well enough to help me.

    I do not have a problem with the merchandise. The company policies are my problem. First of all, the shipping rates are exorbitant. If you weigh the package you receive and compare it to any shipping venue, the price of shipping does not compute. With the market today offering free shipping on most purchases over $25, it is out of touch to overcharge on shipping. My shipping fees were over $16.

    When the items didn't fit, I realized a gift card would likely result in more shipping fees for the privilege of just trying on clothes. I requested a refund. They wanted to charge me $10.99 in restocking fees. Restocking is just a part of doing business. Particularly in retail clothing business. So I called customer service. I got a foreign gentleman who was unable to do anything about this company's absurd practices. He probably didn't work there anyway. He was likely working out of a call center in India. I asked to be removed from ALL future correspondence...no catalogs, no emails, nothing. In total, I paid $29.16 to try on clothes. Buyer beware. Do not use this company. I'm sorry I did.

Now they billed me once for $68.40 and again for $209.98. Spoke to 2 supervisors. Both assured it would be corrected. Still ZERO boots and card now charged twice.

    DON'T waste your time purchasing from them. They are dishonest and convolute the return process playing games by hiring people who barely speak English and then the Supervisor blames the customer service reps, promises to correct, and does NOTHING. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. In fact, the label to do an exchange was removed from the packing invoice when the first pair was received. Very clever. Then you're forced to call and speak to one of their incompetent reps. They do it purposely so they can "accidently" make this kind of error then you're forced to call.

The woman I spoke with was VERY aware that this was wrong and even said "they sneak so you don't know that you are signing up for it."

    This is fraudulent, but let's just say for a moment that I DID sign up for this program. Where is the 'Welcome Packet" showing what my benefits are and how I go about receiving them? I have received nothing in writing from Woman Within regarding this. At a cost of $217.68 per year, it seems like I should at least get something welcoming me to this rewards program. I received nothing.

    It's very clear that they don't want you to know that you have signed up for this program, based on their employee's statement to me, and based on the fact that they never send you anything verifying this. For a corporation like this to try to sneak and charge people on the sly like this is just wrong. As it is, the quality of their clothing has gone downhill over the last few years and I have regretted every recent purchase I have made. It's clear that the leadership at Woman Within is more focused on higher profits and less on quality and customer care. As a result, I will no longer shop with this company or sister companies.

    I purchased 3 of the same dress in different colors. 1 was probably 3 sizes larger than the tag stated. I returned it. Second one I wore once, fit well, washed in cold water and the color faded in spots. As it was worn and washed, I'm screwed. How would I know it faded unless it was washed. I'm very dissatisfied with the company as a whole. I'd give less than 1 star if possible.

    I made a purchase with Woman Within in May 2023, 2 Blouses, one was too small and one I kept, I returned one in late May. They received it on June 8th and sent me a credit for the Blouse I returned in the amount of 19.54 and the balance of 30.00, I sent on June 10th, and express overnight-so it will get there on the the 11th of June. They charged me late fees for July, August, September, in which makes no sense, I’ve haven’t made any purchases since May. So they called in September and they agreed to waived the late fee if I sent 10.02 right away, I did, and they still called me on a Sunday October 8th about this account, I'm fed up with their practices, please look into this complaint. I’ll see if any other fees will bounce up out of nowhere, customer service said he corrected it and my balance is 0, but we’ll see, please stay clear of this and their Sister companies,

    Bootcut stretch denim jean size 26T. Catalog shows them at 26.99 and if you order a certain amount you get some free luggage. I don't need luggage so I tried their website and found the same exact jean on clearance for 13.49. GREAT. I put several pair in my cart BUT when I go to check out, suddenly each pair is 37.19??? I called. WOW. STUPID person I got on the phone. Must have killed a half hour trying to explain this. She barely understood English, kept asking me for some number on the catalog, yellow box number? WTH is that? I said, "Forget the catalog, on YOUR WEBSITE the jean is on clearance." She asks for an item number, well there is NO SUCH NUMBER TO BE FOUND. She looked it up by title and I guess found it, Told her my size at least ten times.

    Finally she comes back and it seems NOTHING in my size is available? NOT ONE COLOR? Out of 12 possible choices? Chocolate shows up on MY end as "Order soon, only 4 left in stock." I asked if ANY color in my size is in stock. Nope, she is not about to sell me ANY at 13.49. AND THAT MAKES THIS A FRAUD! I asked if I could talk to a manager and she tells me "I'm the only one here." I COULD HEAR people in the background asking for item numbers, sizes and so on. Big call center.

I did NOT receive 40% off, nor did I receive the free shipping that was promised. I then proceeded to call Woman Within's customer service to ask why I did not receive what was promised. I spoke to someone who was completely incompetent. When I spoke to her or asked questions, she did not respond.

    I almost hung up, thinking she was not on the line. She could not tell me why Woman Within did not honor the code they provided and sent to my email. She said she could cancel the order, and I could reorder online, and re-enter the code. Why on earth would I do that when they did not honor the code, or do what they promised when I placed the first order?!

    I ordered 2 pairs of shoes, that sadly didn't fit. The cost was $113, with 'free shipping'. Sadly they did not fit, so I went through their process to get a return label and send them back. They were returned within 4 days. When I had not heard back from them I emailed customer service three times to ensure they had been received by the company and to inquire about when the refund would be issued. I got zero response from their customer service team.

    After almost a month, I filed a complaint with Paypal, which was declined, because the product had actually arrived. So I was back to trying to deal with WW. They finally sent me an email stating that the refund had been issued and would appear on my statement in 3-5 days. When the refund actually posted, it was for $35. I was aware I would have to pay for the return shipping, but in their fine print (that no one ever reads lol) it also states that you will also have to pay for the original shipping cost. That seems rather arbitrary, as it was sold to me with FREE SHIPPING. The whole process was so sketchy, and unclear. I do a LOT of online ordering, and have never encountered such shady behaviour from a seemingly reputable company. So.. brief review.. the order was $113.. the refund was $35.

Talked with customer service and they emailed me a return label and and exchange sheet so I could get the same things just in different sizes. Waited all month and found out they they just credited me a refund and no exchange in site. Ordered items again in hopefully a size that would fit and got the wrong shorts for the swimsuit again but different shorts from the first time, and instead of the pj bottoms I got a swimsuit in an extremely large size that wasn't even ordered.

    Called customer service again and talked with someone that I could barely understand. She sent me a return label to use. Ended up keeping swimsuit shorts and just ordering again what I wanted as afraid by now I won't have in time for vacation if I return them, also ordered by pj bottoms again. A few hours later, when I checked my email I saw the confirmation and found that they didn't take off shipping as I was to have free shipping over $50. Called again and they said "Oh, sorry, but my order was already processing." so I got scammed on that and the pj top and bottoms were separate orders with a deal if ordered 2 or more which I initially did, but now lost that because sent swimsuit instead and had to order pants this time - so scammed again.

    I ordered a pair of petite slacks in pine. I received a pair of very light weight harem style pajama bottoms, size 3X, in Black. It took several emails and several phone calls to resolve the situation. The first CSR I spoke with was very difficult to understand. I had noticed the disclaimer about returning a product and the possibility of being charged fees, unless I agreed to receiving a refund as a Woman within Gift Card. But, there were no options regarding receiving the wrong item from the company.

    I told the man, all I wanted was to simply return the item they sent in error, for the one I had ordered. I was getting nowhere. There was talk about fees and gift cards. I said no, just exchange it and why would you charge me shipping for your error. Then he asked many questions, which I kept answering, even though I thought what does that have to do with a return.

    Finally, he asked if I wanted to open a Woman Within Credit Card. I declined at least 4 times. Then He said then what credit card will you being using. I said for what? He said to pay the bill. I said what bill the order has already been paid for. He said the $56.00 for what you just ordered. I went slightly ballistic. At that point I told him forget about the replacement, I want a refund and a shipping label. Again there was talk about fees and gift cards. I told Him, "No! You sent this item in error you pay the shipping charges and I want a refund to my credit card."

    I received several emails after that about gift cards. I called again and I was told just return the item and we will give you a refund. I used their shipping label and they acknowledged receipt and a refund in process email. Next day I received an electronic gift card. I called again and told the woman that this was not what I was told would happen and that this is all because you shipped me the wrong item. I want a refund. Five Days later my credit card was refunded. My gut feeling is this is a company hired to handle customers for Woman Within and in exchange they are allowed to abuse the customers with sales pitches for their Credit Card and additional merchandise. Somebody in their company better wake up, about hiring CSRs that speak English, and their primary job of helping customers. I will not be buying from them any longer.

    I placed an order paying with my PayPal account in January 2023. One item arrived promptly and the other two were on backordered.

This cancellation was done without notifying me and giving me an opportunity to pay another way. Customer service told me it was my fault because I should have known Paypal does not work for the purchase of backordered items. I expected the vendor to let me know right away when the item was backordered that I would need another way to pay. Heads up that customer service is dreadful. I will no longer shop at this website.

    Has anyone noticed every time they put on a sale at 50% off they jack the price up so when you go to buy the product, you are paying the price they had on this product before they put on the 50% off so you are not getting anything off actually. Just notice the price and when they put the sale price on it is the same price it was in the last catalog. The only sale I see is in the clearance section. Nuff said. Thanks.

    I feel this company is truly not about the customer. They convinced me to sign up for a credit card with two "discounts", which is pretty typical. I usually don't fall for that, and now I kick myself for agreeing to it. The first discount was applied to one of my purchased items, but I ended up returning that item and they refused to apply the discount to the item I kept, so as a new customer, I did not experience that discount after all. The other discount turned out to be $10 offer for a future purchase, although I swore they told me $20.00. Okay, so these are insignificant amounts, I know, but when shipping alone for one item costs over $10.00, those little promotions come in handy. But, then I find out that my return can't simply be credited to my new credit card.

    No, that would cost me over $10.00 to do! The return came instead as a "gift card" so you are once again forced to purchase more from them instead of simply getting your money back. Honestly, with Target and Amazon and other customer-friendly stores around, don't bother with Woman Within. You will just end up angry and frustrated, and the clothes are just not worth that.

    I have been ordering clothing from Woman Within for the last 15 years, but I am done with this company due to shady practices. I ordered three t-shirts that are advertised as 100% cotton. These are the same shirts I have been ordering for years. They are now 60% cotton/40% polyester, and they are rough like sandpaper! The sizing tag that is sewn into the side is usually made of soft nylon, and now it is made of plastic. If you cut the tag off, you have to sew the side of the shirt, since it is sewn into the seam. I will be donating two of the shirts now, since they have already been washed. The third one that was returned was charged a return fee of $9.99, even though the item was falsely advertised. Customer service is absolutely worthless! There should be some class action suit against a company that lies about their product and has such a shady return policy.

I cursed at him and told him he will not "See" what he can do, but rather refund my money as I asked. I finally hung up on this complete creep who likely resides in his mother's basement.

    I ordered a skirt. When I washed it (according to the washing instructions), it shrunk unevenly, so the hem was about 6 inches shorter in some areas than others. I returned it, and they refused to refund my purchase because I had washed it. I disputed it with my credit card company, and the credit card company gave me the money back. However, I just received a letter from a collection agency about this, so I guess they haven't given up, and now plan to ruin my credit rating instead of admitting that they sold a defective item.

    I am so annoyed with how they acted that I have stopped ordering anything from not only Woman Within, but also all of the other catalogs from the same family of brands.

    First off, I understand this is not necessarily my "own" experience because I did not personally make the order or send the return in BUT it involves my 93 year old Grandmother...someone who cannot come online and write her own review. This company stole from my Granny, a loyal customer who always paid her bills in full in all that time. The bulk of her wardrobe came from this company, that is no longer the case. Second, I only gave them one star because I had to choose something to post this review, I did try to click none at first. 0 is my actual rating, a solid 0.

    My Granny ordered some items and they did not fit her. She was told to return them and she would be credited the amount (a refund is what should be done). She returned the items, never received a credit. Her daughter called several times and the company was very rude to her and said, "She didn't return return in time" when she did and the postmark can prove it. I think this company is sitting on packages and telling people "they didn't return in time" in order to avoid credits and refunds. So people order, receive item, return item only to met with no credit or partial credit that is nothing compared to what was originally spent. That is theft and I believe this company is purposely taking advantage of people, especially since so many of their clientele fall into certain age ranges.

    This company knows that, I'm not sure how to get to the top but I think I'll review them every single place I can and make sure that every person I know that falls into their "target" group knows just how big of liars, thieves, swindlers, and crooks this company really is. There's a lot of things I wouldn't want on my conscience and judging off many of these recent reviews, Woman Within itself and the employees committing these scams will be faced with stealing from 93 year old women on their own conscience. They should be ashamed of themselves, people are on fixed incomes and this company steals from them. I hope this place flops and goes completely under... Liars, cheats, and thieves.

    They call themselves "Woman within" but they are stealing from women every single day. Perhaps they should do a name change...something like "Evil Within" seems to describe this company more accurately. Save your money and your sanity, cancel your account with these people. ❤ I'm sorry for all the others that got taken advantage of this company.

    I recently ordered a winter coat during the Black Friday promotions. I ordered the size I typically wear, however, when it arrived it was massively oversized. I like bigger but the arms literally hung 6 inches past my wrists. I began an exchange, later advised this was a return because exchanges aren't available. The system offered two options, return to the original credit card or an immediate e-gift card. Since my intention was to reorder I opted for the immediate credit.

    Days passed and I still received no credit on my account or an email with the e-gift card details. This morning I phoned customer service, the rep was confused and kept referencing a separate order. No matter how many times I tried explaining that it was a different order she just kept explaining the wrong order. Eventually, long after I had met my frustration threshold she created an e-gift card, provided me the card number and pin. She said she was unable to assist with reordering. We ended the call and I promptly logged into my account only to learn that the coat I had purchased is no longer available. I was truly disappointed yet I ordered the coat in another color. Then to compound my disheartening situation I ultimately had to pay more since the sale is no longer active.

    So to recap, at this point I have ordered the jacket in a color I do not want and paid more. The day progresses and I received no confirmation email. I log in and the order does not appear. Thinking maybe the order did not submit I tried to reorder and learned the gift card balance was now zero. I waited all day to give it time to make it through the system. This evening I call and speak with James, that is all the info he would provide and refused to let me speak with a manager. He could not find the order so reactivated the original gift card, that because it is Friday, may not be available until next week. The 2nd coat had only 7 left. I will be forced to order something else I dislike. Loyal customer lost.

    Woman Within's customer service is horrible. I'd stopped using the site for myself a year ago, because of incorrect service charges on my credit card, cost of shipping items, and more. The worst experience is my current one. As I said, I don't use the site anymore and have cut up my WW credit card. However, my plus size sister requested a specific item which I ordered. I never got a confirmation, but could see it ordered on my account page. Unlike the MANY other sites I order from, I not only didn't get a confirmation, I didn't get any shipping notifications.

    When my sister called,, asking about the coat (ordered 2 months ago), I called customer service. The representative's English was halting, but she said that the package had been delivered, and that there was a photo of the delivered item. I asked if it was inside or outside the door, as my sister lives in an apartment building in the town center. Rep said "outside". Clearly, since my sister didn't receive it, the most likely explanation is that the package was stolen.

    The rep said I would need to fill out a loss documentation form, which she would MAIL me (taking 5-10 days, she said) I should fill out and return. So it's on me to fix this. I asked if she would send me an email confirming that she would send me this form. She said she couldn't do that. So, I have to wait for this form, and if doesn't come, I'll have to call them AGAIN, explain AGAIN, and probably go through the whole thing again. Meanwhile I have paid for the original coat, and then for the reorder for my sister (which I asked for a delivery note: DO NOT LEAVE OUTSIDE), and who knows if and when THAT will arrive. For this order, I DID receive an order confirmation email, now we'll see what happens with the delivery process.

I've ordered in the past and also from King Size with no problem. This time my order was attached to a non-existent account under my nephew's name. I tried looking up my order to see where it was and it disappeared from my account altogether. I found an email stating my order had been delivered, I found that my order was sent to my nephew's address from two years ago, but not from my account.

I was transferred and disconnected. Called again, repeated that my order has disappeared. This person found it and said I made my nephew's old address my primary address and they couldn't help me. I asked for a person higher to to speak to. I was given a number to call. Called this number, they couldn't find my order until I told them it was switched to my nephew's old address. Again, they could do nothing. I kept asking how I could have ordered from my account and then had my order completely disappear. This person kept repeating that I had done this and transferred all the items to this account that DOESN'T EVEN EXIST! I repeatedly asked to speak to someone higher up. This person got a very smug attitude and repeatedly asked just who would I like to talk to, that no one could help me.

    Finally, I was sent to a customer resolution specialist. WHAT A JOKE! This person just sweetly repeated there was nothing they could do. I am out almost $500. This person also said I had called a week prior to get the information correctly changed. I did not make this call and they would not tell me what phone number had called so I and they could verify the call came from one of the phone numbers on my account. They got to keep their $500 from the order and whoever lives at my nephew's old address got to keep the clothes. Again, I placed an order from my account to my address with my address for billing. This order disappeared from my account altogether and was moved to my nephew's account which doesn't exist. When customer service found the order they said I had done this and could not help me with the $500 I had just lost.

Apparently, they think their unworn shoes (only 1 was tried on by per pair) is OLD & DAMAGED. Too bad that’s what they think of their items.

    Seems I was given bad information by the first customer service representative re their 60 day return period, and that’s my fault. Funny how that works.

    Shipping is extremely high. Packages don't arrive as promised and customer services refuses to help or give you your money back. It's disgusting. Multiple attempts to resolve result in more frustration and dead ends. They provide no solutions and don't care.
