I have ordered from Woman Within for years but this latest order was placed on April 29, 2021 and still has not been processed. I called the Customer Service on May 20th and was told it would be shipped within the next 2 days and was not. I just called again and was told that it is the carriers (shippers) who are not coming to the warehouse to pick up the packages but it should be shipped within the next 2 days. I don't believe this. Their "Chat" is not working and there are messages when you call that they are not available at this time. I want to cancel my order but they will not allow that. You have to receive the clothes and then return them at my expense. Not happy with Woman Within and will not be using them again.
Susan, We apologize for the delay in processing orders. If you still have not received your order please send us a message with your order number.

We ordered dresses from this company and they were too big, so we ordered a new set and returned the 1st order in their shipping bag provided. We tracked the return via USPS and it shows it was delivered, after my husband spoke to someone who confirmed receipt, we were told it will take few days to process the refund. Almost 30 days later, there was no refund.
When we called back, another person said the return was not received, after some explanation, she said she was sorry and that we have to wait for 60 working days to get our refund. This does not sound right and we do not know what to do to get our money back, can someone please help us, we are frustrated. Not good experience at all. We have order number and tracking numbers and when you call sometimes we were put on the phone for over 1 hour and 10 minutes and no one came up. All you hear is "Please continue to wait and your call will be answered in the order it was received," for more than 75 minutes. No one came. We do not understand this at all. It is frustrating! This is not how to do business at all.
Mary, we apologize for he delay in processing the return. Our team is working as fast as possible.

I have been buying items from the Woman Within website for over a year and I have not had any problem until now. As a matter fact they have sent me multiple of the same item and only charge me for one and I return the extras. Recently I received one of their catalogs and it had a promo code for the pink and purple two piece weekend set with purchase of $50 or more. I put the code in and it did not work. I didn’t see that the code was invalid and placed my order. I called customer service and for some reason we had some serious communication problems on both ends. I spoke to a different individual and they told me that there’s nothing they can do. I asked them to cancel the order and they said they couldn’t because they didn’t even have an order number so I supplied them with the order number I received when I placed the order.
After talking to multiple people I was basically told if I wanted that item I was going to have to place another order or buy it straight out. They told me the order could not be canceled or modified in any way, even though I had placed the order less than 30 minutes before calling. It’s not easy for me to find nice clothes as I am a large woman. I have spent over $5,000 in the last year with them. I guess I should be thankful that I didn’t have to call them before now. I will no longer recommend this site to friends. Am I the only one who needs a different customer service number for Woman Within???? Does anyone have another customer service number??
Sad in Florida.

I placed an order over 3 weeks ago which included items needed for our vacation (we are leaving on 6/4). My Order Status has been "processing" for the past three weeks. I tried to chat & was cut off. I called and spoke to someone and just kept getting the "run-around" - no specific answers. I explained that I needed to know if I was going to receive my order before we left for vacation. If not, I said that I wanted to cancel it because I would have to get the items elsewhere before our departure. I was told that I couldn't cancel because it had been "shipped". I said, "you told me it was in processing and you didn't know when it would be shipped". I'm very irritated! You can't blame EVERYTHING on Covid! And if a company is unable to meet the customer's needs, the customer should have the option of cancelling the order without having to pay for return shipping, etc.

I have been a customer or Woman Within for years. A month ago I ordered some items costing $137.63. The items were Mothers Day gifts and items to take on vacation. I was forced to go and purchase these items again in a store. I called to see when my order would be sent. I was told it was in process. I asked them to cancel my order since I already had to purchase the items elsewhere and was told I could not cancel it since it was in process. I asked to speak to someone who could help me and I was put on hold for 45 minutes. I finally hung up in frustration. I called again twice today only to get the message that due to high call volume they couldn't take my call and I could call back later. I am not sure what kind of an operation this company is running but it seems to me they don't care one iota about customer service. I will NEVER order another item from this company again. I will be sending back the items I ordered even if it means I have to pay to do so.

I'm so torn... The clothes are gorgeous and fit me well. Garments seem well made and of decent quality. That's all great...until your check out, pay high shipping fees compared to everywhere else, and wait 2 months for items. Also, if you are preparing to buy from them please make sure you are able to stick with your decision. There is no cancel button after you order and if you call customer care to try to get a refund...you better be ready for a battle. This company has been around for like 30 years, it seems like this company should have evolved some what with shipping rates and not using Pitney Bowes who is one of the slowest logistics companies out there.

Placed order in April 2021, this is almost the end of May 2021, the website shows shipped on the 11th of May. Took the money from PayPal acct on 12th of May and now they won't even respond to an email, and when you call, they say all reps are busy and then hang up. You have to call the order line and hold for 10 min then when they come on the line, they tell you that you have to wait 30 days, from the shipping date (which the order date was 3 weeks before the shipping date) to file for a refund. Sends the package to Pitney Bowes, they create the label and then SUPPOSE to send to USPS. USPS sites shows awaiting to receive package. WW says they can't contact Pitney to find out why they haven't sent the package to USPS for delivery. DON'T BUY FROM THEM! POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I used to order on this website all of the time for my grandmother, and never had any issues. But after this last time (last month), I will NEVER ORDER from them EVER AGAIN!!!! This has been an absolute nightmare and has left a really bad taste in my mouth. I placed an order last month (April 17th to be exact) for her some shoes for Mother's Day. I ordered this ahead of time, thinking it would still get here on time, but boy was I wrong! I experienced a 2-3 week shipping delay. The shoes finally shipped out May 1st. However, I still HAVE NOT received these shoes. Thanks to this company for deciding to use PITNEY BOWES as a shipping partner. Worst mistake ever! Everyone that has packages from this company NEVER receive it.
Woman Within customer service keeps telling me I can't get a refund until June 3rd, which I think is so wrong and not even fair. It's not my fault that I tried to order the shoes ahead of time and experienced delays and now my order is LOST. QUIT blaming shipping issues on COVID, when this is not the case, and PLEASE for crying out loud stop using PITNEY BOWES as a SHIPPING COMPANY!! Also, please change the refund policy! At this point, I just want a refund because I'm not expecting for these shoes to even come at this point.

UPDATED 6/01/21: I placed a order on May 2nd and still have not received it. Received a email on May 13th stating it would be delivered on May 18th. That date has come and gone and not receive my order. Now my delivery status states it's on its way. Please don't use the excuse of COVID. If Amazon or Wayfair can deliver in within a week, why can't Women Within do the same? Because of orders taking so much time and the quality of the product has gone downhill for the price I will not be ordering again.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I placed a order on May 2nd & 4th. The first item was supposed to be here on the 18th. Well date has come and gone. It looks like it still has not been shipped. My 2nd order is supposed to be here tomorrow and has not shipped either. This will be the last time order anything from this company. I feel that you are giving standard answers. Especially for the amount of money I am spending.

I wrote a review in 2021 regarding a bad delivery experience from WW, but I do understand what Companies have been going thru since the Covid virus has hit the world. The Company did reach out to me finally and apologize. I have ordered from WW many times before that and never had a problem, and I do plan to order again from them as I especially love the warm sweatshirts (fleece) and have them in many colors. WW is a wonderful company for those of us who like loose fitting outfits.

I placed an order on April 24, 2021. Was not shipped until May 11, 2021. It is now May 22, 2021, and tracking says still in Ky as of May 14. No update and this is not first time I have had problems with orders which includes being notified much later that items are back-ordered. Dropping Woman Within and stopping catalogs.

I placed an order in early April for summer items including a bathing suit. It is almost June and not shipped. I finally got a hold of someone on chat who really had no idea as part of the order shipped. I kept probing until she said part was on back order and she would give me 10% to wait on backorder, this was a month ago. I never get return emails when I try to find out things that route. I am frustrated. I did get part of an order and clothing didn't fit.
Got on chat after I couldn't get through on phone and no response in email, and was told I could return it. I said I would re-order in smaller size and nothing was said that when your return the form will ask if you want to exchange for a different size....I just reordered in another size before I saw this. Now can't get a hold of anyone to cancel the new order. Frustrating all around waiting 2 months for orders and not being able to get a hold of anyone ever. It took me hours to catch someone on chat - even if chat is busy, let us line up in a que? The clothing I received was good quality, the question is, when will I get it?
Another issue is billing - why on earth in this day and age can't you pay your bill with your credit card or bank card? I see no reason why I have to provide them with all my bank information to set up payments. I don't want companies having my banking information....No one else does that....Seems suspect at best. It also seems if you try to return and not exchange money isn't put back on your account, you can get a online credit or PAY $9.99 to get it refunded to original payment source....Ummmm.....You can't go try on clothes, if they don't fit, you should have a refund or it taken off your credit statement as an option, again, seems suspect. I have always loved these clothes that I have ordered off Amazon, but, I regret getting into bed with the company through their site. After my orders I will be cancelling everything and order piece by piece I want off Amazon - no weirdness there.

I placed two orders the first one on May 3. I was told it was canceled. So I placed another order on May 4. Turns out it was not canceled nor has it shipped. I have called at least 20 times no joke. They will not cancel my orders. They will not refund my orders. They had been sitting in non-shipped status for 20 days. They are withholding my money and I’m pretty sure this is illegal. I cannot get to a supervisor. And I’m calling my Woman Within Card and my other credit card and filing fraud charges. You cannot steal from people. This is wrong.

I have 2 orders from Woman Within from early May. I immediately got emails that due to volumes they were unsure when they’d ship. My debit card has been charged for both orders. I called customer service to cancel both orders and refund money. Was told since they were already “processing”, to be patient and wait for them to arrive, then return items for a refund minus shipping both ways. I’ve been a WW customer 20 years and this is totally unacceptable. Also, was informed I used a $10 off coupon in July and the lady said “in the fine print” I opted in to the rewards program for $14.95/month. I was able to cancel that effective immediately. I will be ordering from Amazon from now on. Very frustrated.

Add me to the list of not pleased customers. While this company has never been the fastest at getting your orders to you, it is now moving at less than a snail's pace. I placed an order on 4/27/21 for 2 items, both of which were in stock. It finally shipped and I MAY receive it on 5/24/21. Almost a month for 2 items not on backorder? If it arrives on "schedule". I placed an order with another company for 2 clothing items on 5/17 and it is expected to arrive on 5/24/21. So, I do understand that Covid and trying to keep employees safe is important. And more people are ordering online, finding employees to work has been a problem and the ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal has created shipping hassles all over the world. I get it. But how can the experience of placing orders for basically the same product be so wildly different between 2 companies?
Small sidebar- sending a coupon for 40% off if used within 5 days when you're several weeks shy of getting your first (paid for) order is insult to injury, not a benefit. I won't be ordering from Woman Within or any of the sister companies until I see a preponderance of wonderful order experience reviews. If that ever happens.

Updated on 06/05/2021: I have written a review about my experience with waiting (way too long) on three bras I had ordered from Woman Within. I have since then sent the bras back and waited even more time for my refund. It was only until I posted a rather not so happy review on Consumer Affairs, that I was able to get SOME KIND of correspondence about my refund. I've since gotten my refund after waiting for it almost a month, but wow. Just wow. That whole experience was pretty bad. It is so unfortunate because I used to order from Woman Within, Roaman's, and Jessica London often. This experience has put a bad taste in my mouth and I definitely will not order anything from this company again.
Original: I had ordered only THREE bras from Woman Within on April 7, 2021. I didn't get those bad boys until THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY, and in between receiving them, I didn't get any kind of communication or notifications as to what was going on with my order. When I finally received them, they were a bit too big, so I had to return them. So, here we go with yet another waiting game to get a refund, and to add insult to injury the constant hangups I'd get when I try to call them about the return and my refund. This is bad business. Care more about your customers, especially when it comes to something as personal as undergarments! Do better.

Do not order from Woman Within!! If I could give negative stars, I would. This company has the worst customer service I've ever dealt with. So, here we go:
2. Finding a phone number on the website is next to impossible.
3. Returns are a hassle.
4. You cannot cancel an order. I placed an order on May 3rd. Today is May 19th and my order hasn't even SHIPPED. The latest the order should be at my door is May 21st... I'm not sure how that is going to happen when it hasn't been shipped yet. So, I called to just cancel the order and I'm told "that isn't possible because it's still being processed". "Okay, then please tell me a date when the order will be shipped..." Their answer is "that isn't possible because it's still being processed". Okay, well if you can't even tell me when you're going to ship it then please cancel the order... Again, their answer is "we can't cancel it because it hasn't shipped yet and it's still being processed". So I ask to speak to a supervisor... that was 29 minutes ago (I'm still on hold). I'm pretty sure they're just waiting for me to hang up.
5. This company is STILL using Covid as an excuse for extremely poor customer service. I can name 10 different online clothing sites that would process, ship and deliver an order in 7 days right now, so the Covid excuse is **. This company should be reported to the BBB. I will never shop with Woman Within again.

Updated on 06/14/2021: Wrote a review that was published on 5/19 - two months after an order I placed was still not complete. Almost a week later I got a canned response from the company. This is lightning speed for this company. They appreciate my feedback as it will help them improve. With all the negative feedback they get and all the opportunities for improvement they should be able to walk on water by now. They wanted me to provide my order number. I've never been able to find or track my order online.
FINALLY I got credit for the returned items. It costs $10 to get money back so against my better judgement, I placed an order so I could use the credit despite the sky high shipping costs. That was two weeks ago. No clothing, no contact from the company, and of course still no record of my order online. With what they charge for shipping they could have someone walk the order to my house. It would probably be faster. The problems with shipping and nonexistent customer service have been going on for years. They have a lot of excuses and that's really all you can count on getting from this company. Shop somewhere else.
Original Review: I wish I had never placed the order. It takes forever to get the shipment. The total shipping was $19.99. Cheap, poor quality clothes. Customer service is a joke. It took over two months to get a response to a question and the reply was basically "that's the way it is". I returned some items and have no faith that I'll ever see my money again. I will never order from WW again. AND I'm flooded with their stupid catalogs. I wish I could give less than one star. Save your money and your sanity - shop somewhere else.

I placed an order on 5/3, I got the ‘Covid excuse e-mail’ on 5/8, and I’ve heard nothing from the company about my order since. I haven’t even tried to call about my order because I’m assuming I won’t have better luck. Meanwhile my inbox still gets its daily email about ‘sales’ even though I’ve changed this many times. Maybe instead of running sales and getting farther behind the company should stop taking sales for a week and get caught up.

Updated on 06/08/2021: In May 2021, I wrote a review about this company and its very slow shipping. In it I included a pair of purple knit capris that Woman Within had placed on backorder until August 2021, but is still offering on its website without a backorder notice. I ordered these capris in March 2021 in order #**. The other issues have been resolved. I'm not ordering from Woman Within until I receive these capris! No telling how many customers have received them before my order is being filled.
Original Review: I've been shopping Woman Within for many years and have never had such trouble receiving my orders. I'm currently missing 2 pairs of capris, one since as far back as 3/3/21. I see that it's been shipped, but no tracking number and last update was 4/27/21, but no carrier is given. I asked that the order be cancelled, since it really looks like the pants never left the warehouse. Customer service rep wanted to mail me an Affidavit of Loss to fill out an mail back in. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he transferred me to a regular customer service line where my wait would be 30 minutes. Sorry way to do business and to treat long-time loyal customers. If this isn't settled within the next few days, I'm paying my account off and finding a more reputable place to buy my clothes!!!

You will get coupons and promises of % off --- BEWARE when you buy the item and place the coupon code it shows you a discounted total. Then you confirm purchase and SURPRISE it hit your credit card for full price. Customer service is sooo sorry but they cant cancel orders -- just return it while due to their poor processes.

Ordered sandals from them via Amazon. The shoe didn’t fit. Requested a refund. They tell me I have to pay return shipping before they send the label. The label they sent was insufficient—the label is for 30 ounces—mind you they JUST SENT ME THE SAME BOX. Thankfully I went to the window at the post office because if I’d just dropped the box off who knows what would have happened because it was INSUFFICIENT POSTAGE!
They tell me oh well-pay for shipping or keep the shoes because the label came from Amazon— As an avid Amazon shopper the policies are for the stores and the fact that they charge you for the label and then it’s insufficient postage and the fact that they don’t care?!? I will NEVER shop them again. Their prices are already seriously inflated but this experience? I’m so glad I closed my personal card with them because they certainly do not deserve a dime of my hard earned money!

Do NOT order from Woman Within! They lure you in with a nice catalog, good marketing, but that's where the good ends!! Once you order, they bill you immediately, charge an exuberant shipping fee ($17 for two small items) and then you don't hear from them again! If you email to check the status of the order, you get a generic reply. If you call to check status, the automated message says they're not available to take the call. If you call back, choose different dept as if placing new order, they magically are available to take the call. But when you ask the status, complain it's been weeks and the order is still just "processing" the sad excuse you get is "the pandemic" which is an excuse, and a bad one at that!
They had no issue taking my money day one I placed the order. If it's gonna take weeks to send, they should be upfront about it, and give me my dang $18 shipping fee back! I ordered from another company two days ago and it's arriving tomorrow!! My advice, AVOID THIS COMPANY, because they'll do nothing but take your money run you around!

I placed an order 2 weeks ago and so far the order hasn't even been processed. I don't believe that it is due to an "unusual amount of orders" which is what the customer service person stated to me. The least they could do is be honest and explain the real reason they can't get orders out and then state it on the first page of their website before we go to order anything. Like the other reviews, the only email communication from Woman Within was a generic "we're sorry for the delay". I finally called and spoke to a supervisor, I was trying to cancel the order so I could shop locally and he told me I could not cancel and would have to send the order back to them when and if it ever arrived. This company's shipping policies are horrific and I will not ever shop here again.

When I said I wanted to cancel she said they are unable to because it had processed, just not shipped. So call the warehouse and have it pulled from the shipping process! They are just trying to stiff the customer! It has not been charged to my card yet, so what is the problem. My next letters about their poor business practice is to the BBB and their State Attorney General. Rep said "You can return the order". Are they going to send me a postage label to do this?

Updated on 07/05/2021: My first review was that I hadn't received my orders of over $500 in clothing. I eventually received the packages and sent both back for refunds on all of it. According to tracking the packages were received by the return agent on June 17th. I sent a message back in June asking when I might receive my money back, but I still have not received a reply or a refund.

Never received any confirmation emails and the orders still aren't showing in my Woman Within account. Called twice with nice long wait times on hold only to be outright lied to. They don't answer email and chat is shut off. They say I can't cancel the orders so it looks like all I can do is put a fraud claim in at my bank to get my money back.

Updated on 03/06/2022: I placed an order back in April of 2021. I never got the order and my bank card was also not charged. Forward December 2021. I suddenly started getting letters from Woman Within stating that they had not gotten their money for this order and if I didn't take care of it they would send it to a collection agency. After making several attempts to call their so called customer service and either being put on hold for hours on end or trying their chat which is a joke I gave up. Since they had not charged my card and I had not gotten the order I figured it was done and over.
In February I got a letter from a collection agency about my order and that they were demanding payment for this order. I tried to contact customer service again but they refused to do anything. I also tried to contact the collection agency but they are a joke and put you on hold for hours. Since this agency is only open Monday through Friday 8 to 5 when most people are working it is hard to call on my 30 minute lunch break. Since they never charged my card and nothing has ever shown up on my bank account even the banker could not find a charge from them. I don't know how they can collect money that they never charged me and for an order that I never got. They need to make this right and take this out of collections.
Original Review: I have been a long time customer but ever since the pandemic hit ordering anything from them has become next to impossible. Items that you want are always out of stock, on back order or order status says being processed for weeks and weeks with no change or any communication from customer service. I ordered a shirt back on April 22, 2021 which was in stock and I am still waiting for my order to be processed on May 9, 2021. No date was give for a possible shipment for this order when I ordered the shirt. I tried to call customer service to tell them to forget it with this order that I no longer want the shirt but the wait time was over 30 minutes!
This is not in any way to conduct business. I order from Lands' End and LL Bean and my order is processed and arrives within two to three days after ordering it and that is paying the standard delivery fee. I will not do business with this company again. They need to get it together and do better than this. Using the pandemic as an excuse is not acceptable either anymore.

Original Review: First, I want to go on record that I am an avid online shopper. Woman Within is the only company that can't get their shipping act together. Why is that? I don't believe for a second that it is due to an over abundance of orders. The least they could do is be honest. Do they need more help? I have been waiting 15 business days for 2 pairs of capris. Like the other reviews, not much communication from Woman Within. I did get an email stating that orders were delayed but I should still receive my order by the time it was originally stated when placing the order. That would have been 7 days ago. Still no order. This is the second order I placed for a specific dated function and was left disappointed for both. Unfortunately I will not be ordering from them if or until they figure this out. Also, all other companies offer free shipping on a certain amount spent, not Woman Within. I did find a free shipping code on a coupon code site and was shocked that it actually worked.

I have been a customer of Woman Within for many years. I can confidently say the company business model has changed and not for the better. I recently placed an order with the knowledge that shipping would be delayed. After an extended period of time and having not received a shipping notification, I decided to cancel the order. The Woman Within web page does not have an option to cancel orders. The Chat option is also inoperable. On multiple occasions I attempted to contact a customer service representative, via phone, having waited unsuccessfully for an hour (60 min) before disconnecting.
When I was finally able to speak to a customer service representative I was told I could not cancel the order because it had already been processed in the warehouse and was in queue to ship. But would not ship for at least another 3 days and would take up to 12 days for delivery. I was advised by the representative and a supervisor to return items upon receipt but would not be refunded the shipping cost. Poor business practice Woman Within. I will not do any business with this company again in the future and strongly recommend no one else does either. Until they lose revenue they will not change their policies.

When I returned I also returned the original order. What has happened to this company. Now I understand the pandemic has changed things but I ordered something in February and received it right away. Had to return part of the order and received my return credit right away. Try calling them.

Original Review: I understand with the pandemic that there will be delays. But trying to get someone on the phone borders on insanity. I ordered something well over a week ago. I called to check on my order and their system said there was NOOOO order placed. So I thought I made a mistake and really needed the items so I reordered and paid the fastest delivery route. I looked up on the website and it should have been sent but NOPE. Now I understand they are busy but I want to cancel BOTH orders as they have not been shipped and being that NO one answers I cannot find out how to do this.
If I was able to find it out on the website or through their system you cannot. AND btw I did make the first order the one they said they had NO record of. I just want to cancel the order before they ship it especially since I paid the higher amount and they will not reimburse shipping. So that is my story. They lost me as a customer and I am canceling my credit card. When I receive what I ordered I am sending it right back even though it stinks that my shipping will not be reimbursed. I was going away so I ordered the first order in plenty of time. Ended up ordering from Macy's.

Now at the last minute I will be scrambling to find a replacement. Even after I’ve paid for these items. They sent me a notice offering me a credit card with a $750 credit limit. Really?! This is not how I would like to spend my time ever again. I have been very nice in my emails to which I feel like they have ignored me. Now I’m getting a little bit perturbed. I don’t like it when customer service takes advantage of their customers. I can’t get anyone to give me the next steps.

I placed my order more than a month ago and still have not received my spring clothes. The money was taken out of my account with the greatest efficiency within 24 hours. I have sent emails, waited on hold for an average of 1/2 hour before speaking with a customer “service” representative only to be told historically large volumes of orders have caused delays. They were unable to cancel the order because it was in process. So I guess each customer who has been victimized by this company has made an interest free loan to Woman Within. This is my second and last order. My first order was delivered within days because I paid the extra $30+ for expedited shipping. Get with the program!

I placed a large order on April 9, 2021 and another order on April 15. I received email confirmation that the orders were placed. A week later I received a generic email saying it is taking longer than expected to get my order shipped to to high demand and Covid19. I ordered some items from WW thru Amazon. They arrived on time. I sent WW an email and received an automated response with their excuse of having historically high demand on their spring line. Well, WW hire more people to handle the orders!!
Then I called customer service early last week, fearing my two orders were lost in the system. After 40 minutes on hold, someone finally answered. I gave him my order numbers. He said "It looks like your two orders will ship out on Friday or Saturday." Well today is Sunday May 2 and there is no indication that they have shipped. I feel the customer service rep was not telling me the truth. I don't really want to cancel my orders because I spent 3 days putting these orders together. The two orders amount to several hundred dollars. If I decide to cancel and WW won't allow me to, the I will call the bank and tell them to stop payment on these. I have done business with them for years, but this is ridiculous. I won't be ordering from them again.

DON'T order anymore from this company... The company has changed and is not getting things shipped out anymore...and won't tell you at all when it might ship out... Spent over $500 with them, and ordered the same way I always have...same website, same shipping way...same everything, but when I called, I got all sorts of different answer... Placed 1 order on Apr. 16th and it shipped the very next day... Placed another order at night on the 18th so would be processed on the 19th and it has still not been processed at all... Nothing said backordered when purchased... Everything said it was available... Was told by one representative that the larger orders were not being processed as quickly as the smaller orders...but the other representative said that wasn't true...several contradictions between the two representatives I spoke to...
You'd think if they were not going to care about the job they are doing with getting orders out in a timely manner, at least they should get their stories as the same... Blamed things on covid and that it all of a sudden has affected them... We are over a year into the covid problem, but I guess it didn't affect them at all until now, when the vaccines are in supply to help the situation... Suddenly the past 2 weeks are the worst part of the covid pandemic, but when over 3000 people per day were dying, it wasn't a problem...makes no sense...
They may have been a more reliable company at one point, but that certainly isn't the case now... Was told it may or may not get shipped this week, but they couldn't say for sure and then also said should ship in 10 to 15 business days... That would mean it should ship this week at the latest, but they wouldn't guarantee it and just danced around... It was clear that this company does not care about its customers at all.

I have been ordering from Woman Within from quite some time and have been very satisfied with the quality and the service, until recently. I placed an order with Woman Within. Also with Brylane Home (another portion of the company.) I was never given an estimated date of delivery, as I used to be. I would get on the website and attempt to do a "chat" with a customer representative and it has always been unavailable. I needed to cancel an order and also to say that I no longer wanted an order for which I had received a card saying that the item would not be delivered until over a month in the future. Another items showed processing but not yet shipped. With the Brylane Home, I wanted to cancel the entire order since it was still be processed after three week and I did not want to wait.
Called Customer service and was told the wait time would be at least 10 minutes. After 25 minutes someone finally picked up. I explained that I wanted the back order t-shirt to be cancelled (the one I received the post card on) as well as the pair of pants which was still be processed. I was told I could not cancel the order for the pants but they would give me free return. I asked why it could not be cancelled and was told because it was processing. But, I asked, if it hasn't been shipped why couldn't it be cancelled. No reason was given.
They I asked about the Brylane order which also was still processing after 3 weeks. I wanted to cancel the entire order since I had expected delivery to have already been made and it hadn't even left processing. I was told the same thing. Since in processing, it could not be cancelled. But it could be returned. Note: one of the items, a Kitchen Buffet is quite heavy. To have them ship it (which I paid extra for) and the have to pay for its return doesn't not seem to be the most feasibly, economical way to run a business.
As stated at the beginning. I have order quite a few items over the years from WW and have never had a problem until this year. In looking at the other reviews, they all seem to say the same thing starting this year. I told her that since no notification is given on a date it will be received, there is not way to just wait and tell the driver to no delivery it. I can't sit outside all day everyday day and hope to "catch them".
I am 70 years old and it is not easy to maneuver large orders like this but was willing to do since I needed it. But I am not willing wait for the item now or for the refund!! It will probably be another month before the items are received and then, what, another month to get it back to them. I don't need have to wait for a refund for that length of time, and should not have to. Don't know what you did WomanWithin, but you sure lost this customer, forever.

The short of it: This company's business practices are outdated. But they prey on the plus sized crowd, who typically find it difficult to find fashionable clothing, particularly online. Over the years I have ordered many times from the Brylane Home/ WW/ Roamans, etc. family. I can't think of any specific complaints I've had in the past. Recently I ordered a set of solar garden lights from Brylane. They were "originally priced" at $79.99 but with whatever discount I ended up with I got them for $28ish with shipping. Sounds like a deal of course. But as expected, they are made of the world's cheapest plastic. I've had them for about 2 months now and each one has cracked in one place or another when I've tried to put them in the ground, move them, or during a particularly windy day. I don't expect the highest of quality for 8 lamps under $30, but please don't insult me by trying to make me believe they are worth $80 to begin with.
This brings me to my Woman Within/Swimsuits for All review: Like everyone, I have put on my share, and someone else's, of weight during the pandemic. Looking for swimsuits for summer 2021 has been a mess. Like Brylane, the prices on their site are OUTRAGEOUS. And knowing what I know about Brylane's products, I wasn't going to purchase anything without massive discounts. I threw some items in my carts and waited it out, sure enough I received a 40% off discount code, and signed up for the trial membership in order to get the shipping rebate. (Still not sure how this is going to work, but we'll see.) I made two separate orders on two different days, one from WW and one from SFA. Yes, I realize this is the same catalog, but on the day I ordered from WW one of the items was not on sale, a few days later it was. Regardless, it's been 12 days and neither item has shipped.
They have a disclaimer that they're behind due to covid but I'm not buying that AT ALL. All major catalog retailers have been operating on time. Like the rest of the world we've been buying everything online during the pandemic and the only delays we've experienced were during the holidays when EVERYTHING was delayed. And I would understand if this were a matter of the shipment being delayed, but based on their tracking info they haven't even shipped yet. This is ridiculous.
I seriously doubt I'll be buying from them again. I don't like being lured in with inflated prices and being lead to believe I'm scoring the deal of the century. I'm not thrilled about this "membership" program, and I intend to cancel as soon as I receive my rebate - although I suspect they will delay it until the next month's charge is due - which is $14.99. No way am I paying that. I also don't care for their shipping prices - they don't offer free shipping. All shipping is based on the cost of your items. NOT EVEN THE WEIGHT! I would understand charging by weight of the package, but $200 worth of bathing suits wouldn't even weigh 5 lbs. According to their shipping chart that would cost me $20 in shipping fees. And I have very little faith in the quality of the swim wear, but that's a review for another day.

Ordered April 13 2021 for May 9 vacation. Received 2 notifications that orders have not shipped. Given my timeline, I decided to cancel the order. 20 minute hold time, and received the same response as many others. The order could not be canceled because it was ‘processing’. My rep was polite, but repeatedly stated the same phrase. Reasoning was ineffective, nothing resolved.
I won’t order from Woman Within again based wholly on the fact the company is placing their customer care ‘team’ to receive the brunt of poor company performance with no ability to resolve issues. If ‘high volume’ is the excuse, let me cancel to reduce your processing volume. If it’s covid, let me cancel to relieve your over-worked ‘team’. Aware and understand ‘high volume’ and Covid related issues, comprehend slow shipping based on those issues. I don’t have patience when it’s no longer a ‘reason’ but an ‘excuse’ for lack of resolution and respect for customers.

My review is about the customer service of Woman Within. I placed a fairly large order on 4/5/21. First off, I never received a confirmation e-mail. Secondly, I received the merchandise 23 days later (a week I can understand, but not 3 weeks). The amount was showing on the credit card I used to place the order as being deducted, then a week later it was no longer showing, and the amount was back up to what it was before I placed the order. I contacted customer service via the online chat feature, and the individual I chatted with said that the amount would be resubmitted once the order was shipped, but could not give me even a ball park time frame on when that would be.
Unfortunately, due to a family emergency I had to use that credit card and the funds for the amount of the order was no longer available. This was on 4/13/21. I IMMEDIATELY sent them an e-mail on 4/13 explaining the situation and to not ship the order and charge the credit card since the funds were no longer available. (My order was still showing as being processed.) I received an e-mail back from them on 4/19/21 that in part said: Your order is being processed for shipment. No changes or cancellation can be made at this time.
The tracking on it said it was by Fed-Ex, and it was to be delivered yesterday (4/27/21). I met the Fed-Ex delivery guy and told him I wanted to refuse the order, to send it back. It got redelivered today. (UGH). After contacting Fed-Ex, I was told by them that they could not send a driver out to pick it up and I had to contact the company I ordered from.
Now, I have to send it back and pay for the shipping ($9.99). Hopefully they will credit the credit card they took the amt. from since now I am in the negative. I realize I am partially at fault , but I can not control an emergency and they should have been able to take care of it since it was not shipped yet when I contacted them. Honestly, I am NOT trying to be a "Karen" here.

Updated on 09/12/2021: I had reviewed this horrible company earlier and now it seems like so very many other people that are having nothing but nasty issues with them. I have only ordered once from them. My latest issue is that they are threatening to send my account to collections because I refuse to pay for items that I never received. I put the money in dispute with my credit card company and I had to cancel that card because they kept charging money that I didn't owe. Since I am a member of a legal plan I'm probably going to have to go that route while filing a complaint with the Attorney General of our state. I urge everyone to go this route since it can be easily done online.
I don't know the whole story but Woman Within appears to be a front for a Asian company with no English speaking customer service and they "batch" orders received until they have enough for a run at their overseas factories. This process can take months for some sizes. The rep that I spoke to after a one hour hold told me that their company does not have to abide by U.S. laws of Commerce because of the pandemic??? Their production materials and methods are shoddy and they use canned answers in pigeon English on this site to stall off customers.
I have great respect for so many of my friends from Asian backgrounds but this is not a typical company. It is a scam. They violate so many U.S. laws and the credit card companies make you jump through hoops to put the charges in dispute because Woman Within is apparently a large conglomerate. If you can't afford to fight them by yourself maybe a large class action lawsuit would at least help keep others from making the horrible mistake that we all have made. Where are the class action lawyers when they could really do some good here?
Original Review: I ordered 4 tops for an Easter trip from Woman Within on March 17, 2021. I received the first two and should have returned them because of the quality but I didn't. My mistake. I am still waiting on the other 2. Each time I call I get a different answer. Today, after an almost one hour wait I tried again and the nasty agent told me that the order could not be cancelled because it has "processed". It has shown "processed" for a month with no shipping information. I told him that under Consumer Protection laws I could cancel an order after 30 days with no communication.
The rude guy who kept interrupting me told me that I needed to be quiet so he could talk. He told me that the items are already processed through their Indiana warehouse so it was in "process". And the 30 days only counted "business" days. I was totally unaware that the weekends were not counted as business days since their website completed business of ordering 7 days a week but, eliminating weekends, it has been more than 30 of their "business days".
Also, I got billed for a "Rewards" program that I didn't sign up for and they refused to refund all of that money. After the calls and the refusal to answer my emails on their website, I'm going to follow up with a complaint with the Attorney General's office. I had high hopes for finding a company that I could use but those hopes are dashed. They have my credit card information so for protection against fraud I'll have to cancel that card and get a new one. BEWARE of doing business with this Woman Within! The few good reviews on this site seem fake. I'm going to do my best to pass my story around on multiple platforms to possibly save some other "sucker" the terrible trouble.

It's been way too long and I no longer need the items. I don't like waiting and waiting. (WW is usually wonderful. I love their selection and they always have a wide variety of sizes. They sell true-to-size plus items. They don't just stop at 2x and call themselves 'plus'.) I'd just like to cancel instead of waiting so long.

My order of 2 weeks ago still has not shipped and it is impossible to speak to a customer service rep. The phone lines say it is a 35-minute waiting time and my 2 emails were met with indifference. Their Chat Line is never working. I have been a customer for years but their service has gone downhill. I have spent hundreds of dollars with this company but if and when I get my order it will be the last.

Updated on 05/24/2021: I have been a customer of Woman Within/Full Beauty brands for many years. I never had any issue with their items or customer service until last month. Last month I had placed an order with Woman Within, it took almost a month to arrive and customer service was of absolutely no help. No tracking information. When I contacted them about the delay and receiving no email I was given a run around. The constant refrain that COVID19 and the unprecedented demand for their spring line had caused a backup at their warehouse, but they were working diligently around the clock to get orders out.
Since my items did eventually arrive I assumed that they had fixed the warehouse/shipping issues. I placed 2 more orders on April 30 and May 1. The order from April 30 arrived later than the 7-14 days stated on the order page. (Also 1 blouse was not the color I ordered) Nothing about the order from May 1. I contacted customer service last week and got the same run around/refrain as last month. It has now been over 24 days since I placed the order, over 16 business days in case they say they only were referring to business days and nothing. I tried using the chat feature that was actually up today and was told the same refrain, COVID19, unprecedented demand for their new line, and shipping delays, they can not say when my items will ship.
This is really unacceptable, no other company that I have done business with throughout this entire pandemic has had these lingering issues. Also if you aren't able to fulfill orders stop sending out almost daily emails and catalogs for people to purchase even more items, you aren't able to meet the demand. I will never purchase another item from their company and will make sure to tell everyone I know in person and on social media to avoid this family of brands.
Original Review: I have been a Woman Within customer for years. I have always been satisfied with their products and prices. I have never had a problem with anything until now. I placed an order on 4/8/21 for 7 items all of which were in stock. I received a confirmation email for my order and it said that I would receive my items in 7-12 days. I didn't receive any other emails about my order which was odd because they always send one saying that my items have shipped. I sent WW an email because I have still not received my items and the order still says processing, the only reply I received was the initial auto reply to my inquiry and that customer service would get reply to emails in the order that they were received. I heard no reply from them.
I called WW's 800 number today and was on hold for over 30 minutes. The gentleman I spoke to was not able to provide any help or information other than constantly repeating that "due to an unprecedented demand for their spring collection that things have been backed up at their warehouse and they are making every effort to get out orders quickly." I asked when my items would ship and was told he didn't know when, couldn't tell me anything only to repeat the above refrain. I told him that it's ridiculous WW keeps sending me emails almost daily, and catalogs and wants me to order more and more, but they're unable to even catch up all these outstanding orders, they shouldn't be taking more orders if they're unable to supply. This is really unacceptable. I'm going to contact the Better Business Bureau, this is really unacceptable.

Which will mean that my 2 orders have taken almost a month for to get.

I recently made a purchase over $50.00 and paid express shipping in order to receive a promotional (free) pull along travel cooler for an upcoming trip. When placing the order I entered the code on my order and it said it was accepted. When I got my order, no cooler! I called customer service, held for 26 minutes before someone answered. When he did answer he told me I had used a 30% coupon on my order and the cooler was not on my order. He said he would not send the cooler, his system wouldn't allow him to because I used a 30% coupon. I DID NOT enter any other codes on my order but the one for the cooler. I was NOT offered a 30% coupon when placing the order therefore did not use one. I paid the printed sales price for each item I purchased. I specifically placed the order for over $50.00 for the convenience of having the pull along cooler.

UPDATED: 4/22/2021: It's really sad that a bad review has to be written before this company will respond or take action. I've already written one review on Woman Within but part of my problem hasn't been resolved and now I have another. I inquired about why my $20 rewards wasn't put against my order of a sales item and instead was charged for the regular price and then the rewards was put against the order. I still have not received anything on this resolution. Now my next issue is shipping. I have an order that has been processing since 4/8/2021 and another that's been processing since 4/13/2021. Once I receive these orders, this will be my absolute last time ordering from this company. They have lost me as a customer.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I ordered several items and they came/are coming in separate boxes due to availability. The first package I opened contained a shirt that reeked of perfume, had obviously been worn. I returned that shirt and several other items but can't seem to get a timely refund. With another order, I received an email that it was on sale. I ordered at $29.99 and applied a rewards certificate I had for $20.00. The sale price isn't being honored with the rewards certificate. I'm being charged $42.18 when it should be $22.18. Trying to contact customer service is almost impossible. I want my money back on my returns and I want the sale price honored even if I am using a rewards certificate.

They always take orders for merchandise they don't have in stock. Sometimes while ordering, they'll give you a date as to when the item will come in, and they'll charge you and ship at that time. Many times, they'll just send you a USPS postcard or email telling you the order is either on backorder and will ship when available or they'll cancel your order because they aren't getting any more of the item. This is a very common part of their ordering process, especially for the 'Perfect Tee'.

Many years ago, I ordered from Roamans and Lane Bryant because I was a large woman who couldn't find clothes that fit in stores. Of course, these companies knew that already, which is why they took advantage by charging $75 for shirts and $150 for dresses, all made in China, and worth about 1/10th what they were charging. I lost hundreds and hundreds of dollars on shipping fees - I lost the money when they shipped TO me and I then I had to pay to return. I was paying $30-$40 to try on clothes, basically.
Now I see these stores have merged with other stores to form Woman Within and their online customer service is deplorable. I use PayPal to purchase online whenever it's possible. I have emails to prove that I contacted Woman Within about my order - 11 days after ordering it still hadn't shipped. They did not respond. Three days later, I cancelled it - also by emailing customer service. They again did not respond. It's apparent that they ignore customers wishing to cancel so that they can force customers to take even very late shipments, but if you use PayPal, you can dispute the charge and they will intervene.
Technically, an online company is given 30 days by law to ship to you, but most companies I've dealt with don't force consumers to wait that long if they choose not to. The only real choice any of us has is to boycott vendors and companies who treat customers the way Woman Within does. At this point, if I receive my order prior to the 30 days rule, FINE - I'll keep it. I happened to get free shipping with my order and so I paid only $30 for two sleep shirts I ordered. But if they don't ship within 30 days, PayPal will cancel the pending the authorization and that will be that. Bottom line: steer clear of Woman Within. There are SO many other stores online now that have great customer service. Woman Within can easily be avoided.

Clothes are decent. Prices seemed decent. NOW 2 months after my purchase I am being charged $16/mo. I don't even have an account with this company. How the heck has my one time purchase calls for a monthly payment. You need to fix this and issue a refund. This was not agree upon and is not ok.

I ordered a coat and winter pj's in November 2020. They were too big. Returned in november of 2020. On March 4, 2021, I got the package back saying that it was returned too late. I had dropped the package off with the return label attached so I had no receipt and could not prove when I had actually put it in the mailbox. When I called, they consented to return my money for the product. But, threatened that if it wasn't received in 30 days, they would charge me again. It cost over $28.00 to return the package. What I loved the most "WAS THE THREAT". I will NEVER order from them again. Simple as that.

Updated on 05/14/2021: Different review.... different problem. I finally received my order after over a month and one of the items was not as I expected...wrong fit and poor quality. I returned it using their label as I didn't want them to say they never received it back. I knew they would charge a $9.99 fee for that but it said I could get an e-gift card in the full amount so I took that option. I mailed the item and tracking says that "an agent has picked it up from the post office" and that is where tracking ends. What??? That was over a month ago and I still have not gotten any e-gift card or even acknowledgement that the item was received by them. I have contacted them twice about it and all I get is a canned response saying that they are backlogged on their orders and my order will be sent out as soon as possible. Obviously this is incorrect as I'm currently not waiting on an order.... I just want my refund.
As of this point I am no longer interested in dealing with this company at all, especially if they are going to handle returns this way. I just want my full refund via my credit card from them since they have not held up their end of the deal. I am throwing out their catalogs (probably 2-3/week) and unsubscribed from their emails. Unfortunately I don't think the refund/credit will happen and have learned a pricey lesson. I have quite a few clothing pieces from this company but if they are going to be difficult to deal with on returns I am not interested in them anymore. Apparently they have become part of a large group so I will need to be careful to not order from any of their branches.
Original Review: I placed an order on 3/21/21 with this company and although I have made several before, this will probably be my last. First it took 11 days to ship and now it has been 5 days and still not arrived and there isn't even an arrival date, so it may be 2-3 days more. I live 2 states away so it shouldn't take that long. In the meantime I have received probably 30 emails and 3 catalogs wanting me to order more even though I haven't received this one yet. Shipping is way too high ($16 for 3 pair of slacks??) and pricing for products isn't consistent between site, emails and catalogs. I am only hoping that I get the correct items when/if it finally does arrive.

The 'Better Fleece Sweatpants' shrink significantly when washed according to the instructions and one had a manufacturer defect. Washed items can't be returned. The customer service took over 4 days to get back to me. Very disappointed, would not recommend.

Very disatisfied with this company. I placed an order from a new Spring Catalog sent to me. None of the orders were in stock. They would ship in 2 weeks (Maybe). I cancelled everything. My order is and never has been on my internet account page. I have no visibility of the order and of the cancellations. In addition, this company uses Sure Post. That service takes 2 weeks to complete a shipment. I know this from a past order. Not a well run company. Reps online seem frazzled and can't answer simple questions or they do not have the data to answer questions. I will no longer use this company due to to many issues.

I have been ordering for this company for years. Shipping has always been slow, but recently it has gotten a lot worse. I place a large order on March 20. Today is April 1st and it has still not shipped. The order contains my Easter dress which will not arrive on time and several other items for upcoming events. I will have to find outfits for these occasions elsewhere. The customer service is no help. I emailed them 5 days ago and their one sentence reply simply stated that shipping could be delayed by 1-3 business days. I replied that it had been 11 days since I placed the order (12 now). I still have not received a reply and the order still says not shipped.

I placed an order, paid with my debit card, received the notice from my bank that the charge went through... $184.01... never received order. I reached out to customer service 4 times. I couldn't get a human to answer the phone. I sent 3 emails through their site and never got a single word from them. Right now I am working with my bank to get my money back! Don't order from them, don't put yourself through it!

They say they ship in 4 days and orders delivered within 10. Not true. You're lucky if it ships in a week. My last order took almost 3 weeks to get. New order same deal. I tried contacting CS twice and they never responded. Last time I will shop with this company.

I had purchased from catherines before they were part of Woman Within, and the experience had always been great. Ordering from them now that they are a part of Woman Within is an entirely different and awful experience. I ordered over $400 in clothing. Unlike most companies, Woman Within have a pretty high shipping cost. Shipping for my items was over $40. I have never had to pay that much for anything outside of perishable items. The shipping costs just continue to go up as you spend more on their site rather than incentivizing spending with a free shipping threshold.
With such a high shipping cost I expected the items to ship within a reasonable amount of time. When they still had not shipped after a week and a half, I emailed to inquire about when to expect the order. I did not get a response so I called. I was on hold for an hour and had to hang up. I called back later and after a short wait an agent answered. They said that they had a large number of orders and were behind. I asked approximately when I could expect them to ship. They would not give an answer. I asked why their shipping was so costly if they cannot ship in a reasonable amount of time. All they would say was that the shipping fees are listed on the site.
I asked to be transferred to someone that could answer my questions. They transferred me. I again asked for an approximation of how long until my items would ship. He refused to answer and told me it was a loaded question. I pressed and he said, "Fine, several days." I again asked what the logic was behind the high fees. He called it a loaded question, he said he was done and hung up on me. I then sent another email regarding being hung up on and the lack of assistance. Still no response several days later, and my items still have not shipped.

I placed an order 6 days ago and status still shows processing. I called to cancel and was advised it wasn't allowed. Customers only have approximately 30 minutes to cancel after placing the order. The company will not refund shipping fee. Now I'm stuck without my money or mdse for who knows how long. I will not buy from this company again.

I love the clothes and because of that I have really never returned anything. This time 2 pairs of pants never arrived. The person contacting me about this has been basically calling me a liar. They want all this paperwork but are making it impossible for me to fill out. I have never to my knowledge complained and I've been a customer for over 10 years. Really hurt because they want me to go to all lengths to get my money refunded. If you can handle poor customer service they have really nice clothes. However I'm done with them.

I ordered a $55 order on the 16th of March 2021. On the 24th of March I emailed customer service to see a status update. I woke up the morning of the 25th to find an email stating it was shipped the 23rd with a tracking number However WW didn't take my money until the 26th. USPS shows the tracking number as created but no ETA. WW's website blames covid but my 40+ year customer of a mother gets her orders within 7 days. I probably won't be a repeat customer unless it's thru my mother's account. First timer and burnt out already.
