    A waste of time and $. This is the 2nd time I ordered and didn't receive package - even though tracking shows as delivered. Customer service is no help, won't issue refund or get proof of delivery. Don't bother.

    Possibly the worst company I have ever dealt with. Purchase a lamp, box ripped open only lampshade. Asked to send back what I have and they will send a replacement no updates. I can see in the app item received 21 days ago no processed replacement then told would be refund as don’t have the item even though I can see them still being sold. Awful and slow communication. Their agents must be working multiple cases at a time. Very frustrating and working outside their own terms and conditions!

    Home delivery is unreliable. I placed an order on Jun. 30th and as of July 11th, never delivered. In the meantime, only one delay notice by email on Jul.7th or 8th. No sign of shipping track updated since July 2nd. I speculate that the carrier lost it. I started calling the customer service, for refund and I was told to wait for 24 hours, then 48 hours for investigation. July 11th around 2-3:00am I received "auto email" saying it was delivered at July 10th at 11:30 pm. I checked the security of my apartment, no record found delivery at 11:30pm. I called the customer service, and told the fact I found out, but they could not answer why fake email was sent. They kept saying to wait for another 48 hours for investigation. No one seems reliable. If you but something from Zara, buy it at the storefront. It is a nightmare.

    On my recent visit, I had to stand in the returns line for over an hour—not because of high customer volume, but because your lazy and completely disinterested staff were more focused on their personal gossip session than doing their jobs. I am not exaggerating when I say this: one of your so-called staff members had a customer in front of her and still took 20 full minutes to finish chatting audibly about how she wanted to work downstairs in the men’s section. Who cares? Certainly not the 10+ people waiting in line with receipts in hand while she went on like she was at brunch with a friend.

    Even worse, when I finally tried to address the situation, the response from the staff—including two “managers”—was absolutely disgusting. One of them, who gave the name Azazel, was clearly afraid to do their job properly. The other, the so-called “Women’s Department Manager,” refused to give her name and was outright rude, dismissive, and arrogant. She told me flat-out that she did not care about my concerns regarding the return. Excuse me? This kind of service is an embarrassment to a brand like Zara. It was degrading, infuriating, and utterly unacceptable. If these individuals represent your management, then it’s no surprise the entire store is a disorganized mess with no respect for the customers who fund your business.

    I purchased the Flowy Wide Leg Pants in Taupe Brown on 4/25/25. I wore them for the first time on 7/3/25. At the end of the day, the pants were snagged and had pilling. Horrible quality. They are outside of the return window, so I have no choice but to keep them. I would not shop here again-- the clothing is overpriced and extremely poor quality.

    I had an absolutely appalling experience at the ZARA store in Glendale Galleria Los Angeles. After calmly expressing my dissatisfaction with the poor service, I was shocked to be escorted out by security at the request of the Armenian store manager. I did not raise my voice, nor was I disrespectful in any way. I was humiliated in front of other customers simply because the manager seemed unable to manage her own stress and responsibilities. This kind of treatment is unacceptable and deeply unprofessional and rude.

    This company takes more effort in selling the brand than anything. The clothing is very low quality and the customer ends up sending most items back. You will be refunded 1 out of 5 items, so this brand really is not worth losing money over. Pay a little more for a quality item and you will be better off in the long run. Customer service is very poor and you will never get your money back after sending product back.

    I am very disappointed of Zara company. This is already second time I have an issue with them. I ordered an item to pick up in the store in order not to pay a shipping fee but they cancelled my order even though the item was available, so I went to the store. I asked them to reorder again but this time ship it to my address to make sure I will get it but they charged me shipping fee, associate said, "Call customer service. They will waive the shipping fee," so when I called they didn’t do it, also for my cancelled order they have to wait for 10-14 business day to get me money back. I would never shop from them anymore. Worst service ever had.

    I’m extremely disappointed with the poor customer service and disorganized shipping process. I placed a substantial order totaling $350 and received someone else’s items instead. Since then, I have been trying to resolve the issue with your customer service team—either by having my correct order sent or receiving a refund. Unfortunately, the experience has been frustrating and inefficient. I’ve had to repeat my situation multiple times, every time with a new agent, and now, two weeks later, there is still no resolution.

    Terrible customer service, John the chat guy so rude unprofessional. I went to return 2 dresses, didn’t realize I was 7 days past the return policy. The girl at the store said, "Call customer service. They can help you and resolve the issue." I chat first with John which was not helpful at all, I asked to be transferred to manager. He said it is not possible. What? This is happening first time to me. As a regular client in Zara that I nicely asked for help no one was able to help, they say it’s the policy. I understand but it’s a first time it’s not like it’s happening all the time. Now they lost me as a client over $150. I'm telling all my friends now that shop there you will never see us again.

    We bought a suit from their Pointe-Claire Quebec location. The price tag on the jacket was $69.50. The charged us $199!!! They refuse to refund us or even give us a gift card. I have filed multiple complaints and they say they will reply via email and they do not. When I call back they say that the tag was old/their mistake and they will do nothing about it. This is in violation of the Quebec Consumer Act which states that a retailer must honor the price tag price, even if it's an error. Do not shop with this brand. They're thieves and criminals. We have filed a fraud complaint with our credit card company and are filing a complaint with the government. We have shopped exclusively at Zara in 3 different countries for the last 10 years.

    Zara Is overrated and compared to other countries outside of the U.S., and only sell the real and deserving prices during their semi annual sales. While, that doesn’t bother me because fortunately I can buy what I decide to buy when I want. Apart from this you can find some cute items depend on sizes, but they refused to add carts in there store, they do not have anywhere you can rest your items while shopping, and this may depend on the store manager, or the cashier mood on that day to allow you to rest it in that empty table next to the cashier. Very hard for handicaps or non handicaps people to shop there.

    They allow other people to sit in a empty space where the merchandise is on display without it bordering the merchandise and the view. One of them was my lucky elderly mother because she couldn’t stand anymore and I couldn’t hold all the overwhelming amount of the merchandise I was buying, and there is no way I could keep buying more throughout the store.

    However, the same Zara store location at Pentagon Mall in 1000 South Hayes street, had some amiable managers, but I am not sure if they are doing their jobs with their racist bias floor workers. My husband refused to go with me to any Zara store at any location in the world because of the crowd, the painful inconvenience, etc. I convinced him to come with me for the same reasons because it was harder for me to go through it alone alone. This floor worker told him he couldn’t sit there or rest my clothes and offer no solution but for him to stand and look stupid with my overwhelming amount of merchandise in his hand, shoulder, heads, falling on the floor.

    I spoke with the manager because this rep did not told the people sitting almost next to my husband, to stand up. My husband told the rep about it and she twisted her mouth and gave him a nasty face gesture and told him she told those customers to get up but the didn’t get up. The manager told me he will talk to her and he had those individuals to get as well since I also told him that the rules should apply to everyone.

    I had to go back to the store for a pick up and maybe a return but I ended up shopping. My husband after this incident from his first visit to this store with me I was not able to convinced him to come back in with me and waited in the car but 10 mins later he decided to come help me with the shopping. I was glad he did because again my hands where overwhelming full and heavy from all the merchandise I was getting. I told him to just stand right there and keep my items in a space that was not blocking the merchandise on a table that no one was visiting just until I am ready to go to the register which maybe a few more minutes.

    About two weeks later the same rep from the last time again came to him and told him to move my items from there, however other customers were doing the same. I told the manager that this was the second incident of an apparent deliberate bias or discrimination from the same rep against a customer of different race and culture or ethnicity than the ones she did not asked to move their merchandise. I could just leave all the merchandise and walk out. The manager said that they could rest the merchandise on the empty table next to the cashier until when I am done shopping, and get though the line and ready to pay. I told the manager that this floor worker could have offered the same solution but twice without failed her tone and attitude was condescending and bias towards my husband and myself a faithful customer who spend lots of money in Zaras around the world.

    I also point out to the manager that while the manager and I was talking about the issue, this same floor worker make sure she passed us and was twisting her mouth and giving me ugly face gestures which was unprofessional and show that she had no respect for the manager, us or the situation and have some type of feelings for some customers like my husband and I that she and cannot even control her behavior. I also had to call another available manager because this same floor rep started to pass many times given my husband the same face gestures expressions after I was done talking with a manager. While Zara cannot fix the world you can fix your store and higher quality personnel free of those behaviors that could ended up chasing away and cost the store lost of wages in many ways.

    Also, the pick up at store or other than at home is growing more ineffective. This time I had to spend time out of work going to the store and calling because it was late and finally the phone rep told me it was lost and that she would processed a refund immediately. She also told me that she will notate for me to get a home shipping reimbursed for any online order I place in the future. She said I will need to call once I get notified that the order was shipped. I asked to send me some type of confirmation so I don’t have to waste more time if I decide to use her courtesy offer. But she said this was the only way. She never refunded the merchandise but upon going back to the store, I went back and asked by the pick up and they find. In this case I did not care anymore if the phone rep did not processed the refund for this merchandise because I was able to get it even if it cost me additional time and waste of money to get it.

    However, I made the online order and when I called to get the home shipping reimbursed the phone rep told me that the phone rep never left any notes, never processed the refund (as I explained, that part did not mater), and he did not reimbursed the shipping fee as one of the courtesies the phone rep offered for the inconveniences I suffered to finally get the merchandise I paid for from the store. I told the rep that they did not reimburse the shipping fee.

    I also told this phone what customers will call to ask for a shipping fee to be reimburse for the hell of it, and if he looked in my profile I certainly don’t need to. He said they had no supervisor to passed me on when I asked. I even offered him the dates and times and amount of time I spend on the phone with that rep which obviously it was not because she processed any orders for me, but because we was on the phone where she lied and wasted more of time instead of truly treating a faithful customer with the respect and courtesy they deserved for their lateness disservice and consideration to my losses and inconveniences.

    She could have processed the refund like she said she did and could have have placed the order again with free shipping to my home instead as a courtesy since the merchandise was still available in this case. However, she opted to lie waste my time and allow the cheap phone rep to humiliate me because he acted like the store had no integrity and respect to their for their loyal customers. I hope things get better for your stores in the future but I am seriously will slow or refrain from shopping with Zara or may have to escalate any of these behavior again.

    I am not sure what services they are using to ship their products but they used a company called TForce which I have never heard or and has 1.3 stars for negative reviews. The package I ordered was delivered to some random address and when I reached out to the service to submit a missing package request they sent a picture of some random door. Worst part-my address is there to confirm so they have my address and delivered to somewhere else? Not sure if the door is just fake or what because that is not a door and no idea where they got the picture of that random door. Now I have to dispute the charge and will never be shopping with Zara again. Zara or the shipping company is not responding to me.

    I placed an order with Zara in December 2024, and here we are in mid-February 2025 - still no sign of my clothes or refund. I've contacted their customer service multiple times about my missing order, but all I get is the same robotic response that "they're investigating the issue." When I requested a refund for the items I never received, they refused and continued with their "investigation." I even asked to speak with a manager about this frustrating situation, but no one ever bothered to contact me back. It's completely unacceptable that a major retailer like Zara can hold onto customers' money for months without delivering products or providing proper customer service. This experience has been incredibly disappointing, and I've completely lost trust in Zara. I will never shop with them again and would strongly advise others to think twice before ordering from their online store. Save yourself the headache and shop elsewhere.

    On December 2nd, I received an email from Zara stating "Please be advised that we are unable to accept the return as item ** was not received in an unworn condition", and that the item will be returned to me. No other explanation was provided as to how they determined that the dress was worn. The original tag is still attached, the dress is unsoiled, unwashed or altered, not damaged, and still in its new and original condition.

    The dress was returned to me on 12/11/24 in the same box that it was returned in, with the same exact clear plastic tape that I used to seal the box. It appears as if no one bothered to even open the box and inspect the dress. I contacted customer service the next day on 12/12/24 and spoke with Andrea **, who stated that there is nothing she can do to assist me as the determination to not accept the return was made in their warehouse. I asked to speak with a manager and I was told that there is no manager to speak with, and that the determination was final.

    These trousers have become very popular the last few years because of their unique design. The web is excellent and the products are shown perfectly. The trousers I’ve bought are the blue ones with leopard stars. They are perfect to wear during the week because they are so comfortable. Otherwise, the shipping is fast, I ordered them last Tuesday and they were delivering it to me on Friday. Although, they are expensive, so not everyone can buy them. I was a bit disappointed because if you wash them a lot the stars fell out of the pants. Despite that, the quality is so good because they are not an Inditex brand. Overall, it could be good if there were more pants in stock because they quickly sold out. Despite the price and the fact of the stars, I recommend them a lot because of their design and how they style themselves.

    The worst customer service I have ever encountered. The store employees are not friendly, but their corporate customer service is far beyond rude. I typically order online because the closest store is about 3 hours away. I usually travel a few times a year to shop in store. Rest assured, I will never spend hundreds of dollars on hotel and travel to darken the doors of one of their stores, nor will I ever shop online again.

I received the package on October 9th and completed the return of one necklace and the pack of bracelets on the same day. I received the box back to me with no refund on November 13, 2024 and a note that said The item was not returned in unused condition. The packaging of the bracelets was super cute and tightly packed inside the indestructible cardboard. The ONLY way to try on even one of the bracelets was to cut open the end of the container.

    I did not read the special return conditions that state: must be returned with -their original bag or cardboard intact. Well the cardboard was not intact for only one of the bracelets. Very disappointed and there was no goodwill gesture in association with this return policy. My recommendation in the future is (for an item that clearly has not been worn), is for you to take the return and sell it on your Pre-owned site. No more ZARA for me. To be fair, you need to provide a different packaging to gain access to the item you are selling or atleast provide a measurement of the bracelet opening. (in this case it is 2").

    I have been dealing with an online order that was never delivered to me, for nearly 3 weeks. There is no one you can talk to on the phone. Their online chat, WhatsApps or FB is al virtual AI-driven where you get standard answers that do not address your complaint. I have received standard emails (that you can also not respond to) saying "checking with the transport your order has been delivered successfully". I have given Zara the coordinates from the delivery company stating that those do not belong to my address, but they just respond "robotically" that "nothing wrong with your delivery". I have an automated email saying the order has been delivered, with no photo of where did they leave the parcel, as it is customary if you are not at home. It is absolutely appalling!

    I have called Amazon shipping who was delivering the order on behalf of Zara and I was treated awful too, saying they cannot discuss anything and I need to go back to Zara and take it up with them. Amazon does not seem to address that their drivers could make mistakes, (I do not wish to think they are dishonest too). Basically playing "ping pong".

    For a big company like Zara, I consider this behaviour totally unacceptable and I must say I will never order anything online from them again and would recommend anyone that does, to be very careful as there is no guarantee that you will ever receive your orders. I have filled in their document "denial of receipt form" and sent it to them 6 times on WhatsApp and Virtual Chat.... it has come to nothing. Sometimes I have got an answer hours later saying "We confirm order delivered successfully." I have been left with no solution, no goods, and no money. I feel cheated and robbed.

    The first and LAST time I will ever order from Zara. While I acknowledge that I am 2 days outside the 30 day returns policy, the dress I want to return is still for sale and the tags are still on the dress. I packaged it after trying it on and it's not looking like what I expected, but then left it in a box in the garage and forgot to take it to UPS! I called just now to ask for an exception and all you get via customer service is a call center to someone who barely speaks english and keeps reciting the policy and there is nothing they can do. This is completely rubbish. Zara is a huge company and there are MANY other clothing stores I order from who have granted exceptions if the policy is not being abused. It is so frustrating to be treated like this on the phone by someone who you can't understand, and who cannot think outside the box. That is NOT customer service. All I have learned here is that Zara will not be getting my orders in future.

    I purchased a few items online at Zara, I kept the top, but the dress did not fit, I returned the dress a few days later, but a few weeks later I realized that I had not received a refund, so I called Zara customer service, and they said that the dress was rejected by the warehouse because the item had been worn, I did try the item on but definitely did not wear the dress, the tags were still attached and the dress was in perfect condition when I mailed the item back, I am very curious to see what the dress looks like when I receive it, I am very disappointed, as I did really like the clothing from Zara, but will not be purchasing online again.

    I'm new to this store and I won't buy again. I found 5 pieces online and placed an order to be delivered to the Houston Galleria. I was under the impression that it would arrive the following Monday, but discovered it was two weeks out and I'd be on a lengthy vacation. I tried to cancel with customer service online and was disconnected without speaking to an agent after a lengthy wait. I was driving fairly close to a mall in a rather depressed area of town that had a Zara, but I worried about selection.. I stopped and was pleased to find two items. Overall, the quality is not good, but the price point is low. The dress and the shorts were reasonable quality for the price. This was a big store with 3 departments and ONE cashier. Several employees were milling around, but ONE cashier.

    The first person in line had a huge bag of at least a dozen returns. The cashier was disarmingly apathetic and VERY slow. She chatted with employees standing around, completely unfazed by the line forming. 15 minutes later I was angry, and the person was still returning. I put the things down, but my husband encouraged me to stay in line because we wouldn't be back. (True!)

    After roughly 20 minutes of watching the return, he asks for a manager. A sad looking young man with no idea how to run a store said they only had one cashier. He just stared at my husband with a blank look and kept saying, "we only have one cashier". He was completely incapable of handling the now 10 customers in queue. When the return was finished and the person in front of me had angrily purchased his one item (on the men's side...no cashier for women) the manager had an epiphany! There was a cashier who didn't' have any customers in children's! I'm an easy-going person, and I wanted to TRIP him. We were in line for nearly half an hour and there was a cashier in children's???! I still have to deal with my online order... FABULOUS. Never.... never, never, never...again. I wish I had read the customer service reviews before shopping.

    Went to Zara Westfield Montgomery mall Bethesda, Maryland, and Tried to return an unworn baby matching top and bottom that was missing the external price tag but still had receipt and they denied my refund. Sent my husband in who is more tactful during this situation and he put this store in their place and here’s how you can too. Apparently this store doesn’t understand what an internal and external tag is. External tag is a price tag. Internal tag is the manufacturers care tags. They tried to tell us that a price tag is an internal tag.

    Here’s how to get a refund for an item they said you can’t return due to a missing price tag: As long as you have an unworn item and all the internal tags attached. Call their customer service number at 855-6359272. Tell them the issue you are having and at what location and they will assigned you a case number. Write the case number down and go back into the store and let them know that customer service said you can return the item and here is your case number. When we did this they didn’t even call and just wrote down the case number on the receipt and gave us a refund. The Montgomery Mall Zara employees are thieves. Don’t fall for their crap of not being able to return items. Their manager was waste of time too who refused to give her name to me. I hope this helps everyone out.

Apparently, I was not aware that I selected an expensive blouse (I did not try on because I was in a rush), did not have a tag but the loop where the tag was supposed to be was still intact. I came home. Tried it on but I did not like it so I took it to return and the rude sales woman barked at me and said "we make a note when a tag is missing." I said, "I swear I did not remove it." But she said I can not return it. This is not good customer service. Good customer service is to make the customer happy and not argue for something I did not do. I have been in many retail companies but we never did that. A $60 blouse is not a huge loss for Zara. I am a regular customer but this transaction forced me to go elsewhere.

Not one single word from them in that time, no credit, no replacement(which is what I requested); no email no phone call. Talked to Sebastian today, 1-19 he said no stock, and no record of when a new or if a new shipment would be coming in. Only option was a refund. Asked to have email confirmation that refund would be coming, he said it takes 48 hrs to send the email. I went online while on the phone with him, and reordered the product and it has a ship date of 1-24-2024 so he was clearly lying or their site is lying.

    Purchased an item - time sensitive and for a wedding, but with plenty of time for arrival - and checked the website on the day I had been told it would arrive only to find it was supposedly being delivered to an address 2000 miles away. Called immediately to see if anything could possibly be done to remedy the mistake. After waiting on hold for an extended time the phone was answered by someone whose English was frankly incomprehensible, made worse by the fact that the line was cutting in and out. Please note that I am an ESL instructor and have infinite patience with English learners and their accents. But communication was simply not possible with this operator. The connection was finally lost and I am quasi-certain she simply hung up the phone. Called back and waited on hold again, to deal with a very rude man who sounded like he was standing on the edge of a freeway.

    I was told that ZARA customer service would 'attempt to intercept the package through the postal carrier and have it returned to sender,' but that it would probably be impossible because the item was out for delivery THAT DAY. If they couldn't intercept it, I would not be issued a refund or replacement. I was told I would be sent an email with a case number so that I could check up on the status after 48 hours. Five days later, I've NEVER received an email but I DID just receive a text stating that the item was delivered today (5 days late) at the still-incorrect address 2000 miles away. Attempted to call the same customer service number I called 5 days ago, now they are simply not taking calls and there is NO option for speaking to an agent. The chat option on their website is not working. Their twitter and Facebook accounts are not accepting replies.

    Apparently this decades-old company is now simply falling apart - similar to the way the clothing they sell tends to fall apart. I have had issues with ZARA before and made this purchase only due to the fact that my teenage daughter wanted this particular dress for one event and it would therefore only need to be worn one time - surely it wouldn't fall apart after just ONE wearing - but now we can't even get our hands on the dress we paid $75 for and there is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE to help with the issue.

    Since Zara started allowing multiple items from orders to be returned in one shipment there have been major problems. The labels that were printable at home are coming back with invalid numbers forcing the customer to call customer service to get a useable label. Whenever Zara issues a label to your email, items from the shipment magically go missing so you don't get credited the money back. You can provide tracking numbers that prove the items were delivered and argue with them until you're blue in the face but they will not give you back your money. This is known as FRAUD. It's only when they issue the return labels that this has happened to me.

    So far I am out over $250.00 in returned items. I know this has happened to thousands of other customers so if you are planning on buying online and some items don't work out, unless you can print your own labels without any issue, there's a very good chance you will never see your refund. I don't know what kind of scam they are running here but someone is getting the clothing/shoes that I have returned, either the courier or the warehouse people. It doesn't just disappear. Save yourself major aggravation and lost hard-earned money and do not buy from Zara.

    If you have an online return, you can bring it to the store for a refund which is convenient. However, your refund does not take place on the spot. For some reason the refund takes over two weeks to process even though they take the returned items from you on the spot. I made a return for an online order on 01/07 that came to me DEFECTIVE, with seams falling out. The returned product cost around $170 which is not a small amount of money. Not only did I not get credited for the shipping I paid for (even though it was 100% the company's fault for sending me faulty merchandise), it has been almost two weeks and I don't have my money back yet.

    Zara customer service says this "depends on your bank" but I have never waited this long for refunds to post, and it's not like there's a "pending" refund sitting on my credit card still being processed - there is zero indication that Zara has even processed the refund on their end. This is certainly not a banking issue and I don't appreciate it being deflected back on me. Waiting 14+ days for your money back after the product has already been received by the store is absolutely absurd.

    !!!! STAY AWAY !!!! DO NOT SHOP ONLINE WITH ZARA. I had two packages from Zara, worth a total of $408, stolen - I have CCTV footage evidence of the theft, as well as evidence that it is my boxes because the ripped open boxes remained. Zara has refused to provide any sort of replacement or refund. I spoke with their customer service team and they told me that Zara bears no responsibility for stolen packages. I requested that they send me an email with that policy in writing as well as an email in writing to confirm my call, but I was only given a case reference number and they refused to provide any written word, and also refused to transfer my call to a supervisor or anybody with more authority. I have looked into reviews online now, and it seems I am one of many over many years who has had this problem and clearly Zara has not.

    It is absurd for a multibillion dollar international corporation to treat their customers like this. Amazon, a notoriously cheap company in many of their practices, still replaces stolen items - I have experienced this firsthand when one of my Amazon packages was stolen a few years ago, and many others who have used Amazon have reported the same online. I have read many reviews of other companies that replace their customer’s items. Shame on Zara.

    There are so many reasons not to shop here, but I know as student that sometimes it is difficult to resist the urge because of the lower prices. The orders that were stolen were going to be all of my winter coats now that I’ve loved to a colder location. But if you are thinking of ordering from Zara DO NOT DO IT. DO NOT DO IT. You will be treated like RUBBISH as a customer. STAY AWAY!!!!

    I purchased four blouses for my daughters. Before making the purchases, I specifically asked if there would be a sale anytime soon, and representative said, 'no.'

    The next day all four were on sale. I contacted the online store, explained the situation, and was told Zara never honors sales prices if the purchase was made prior to the listed sale. Zara must be the only retailer that adopts such a policy - H&M, Nordstrom, etc would all refund the price difference if there was a sale. Returning, and never shopping Zara again - too many better options.

    Avoid buying from Zara online. They may cancel your order and you may never get a refund unless you take further action legally or through your bank. Please, do not waste your time on a subpar fast fashion brand with worse than terrible Customer Service. I had an awful experience buying from this company. I thought that because it was such a large and well-known retailer I wouldn't have any issues with ordering, and making cancellations or refunds as needed, and clearly I couldn't have been more wrong. I made an order on Zara Mexico's site and paid accordingly (the payment was, of course, immediately deducted from my account, it could be seen on my bank statement weeks later). However, less than 5 minutes later I got an e-mail saying that my order was canceled without explanation and without mention of a refund.

    This was on May 27th of this year and I contacted them to see when I would be able to get my money back. Customer Service indicated that I would have my money returned to me within 14 business days, and lo and behold, the 14 business days came along with no refund. I contacted customer service a second time, on this occasion via the Zara Care Twitter Account (I don't know who runs this but please avoid it, it's as good as receiving no customer service and they start to ignore your case when they cannot solve it instead of escalating to the appropriate department).

    They mentioned that payments are "pre-authorized" by Zara and they are only "confirmed" or actually charged when the shipment is sent. This was clearly not true for my case, since I had been charged, without receiving a product and no sign of having received my refund or it being processed. They did not care for the proof that I sent (in the form of a bank statement reflecting the money they essentially took from my account without returning it) and merely e-mailed me screenshots showing that they indeed did cancel my order.

    However, what I needed was a confirmation for my refund, not for the canceled order within itself. I knew that it was indeed canceled. Essentially, Zara robbed me. They promised a refund that was never delivered and Customer Service kept parroting back the same responses regarding a pre-authorization, and that they allegedly did not charge me, which they clearly did. The money I paid them is, to this day, not back in my account and nowhere to be seen. Who knows how many customers they've done this to, but I'm surely not the first and definitely will not be the last.

    Their Customer Service also initially refused to accept my bank statement as proof of being charged without a refund, which is illegal. All I wanted was a nice shirt to gift my mother on her birthday and in exchange I got an immense waste of time and attempted gaslighting from Customer Service. Thankfully, I did not spend an exorbitant amount of money on such a second-rate company, however, this is not about the money itself, but rather about voicing my immensely negative experience and warn future potential buyers about the abusive nature of this company and its employees.

    I purchased over $350.00 in merchandise and changed my mind. I returned to the store just a couple of days later for an exchange, but I left my receipt at home. I could not believe that their ONLY policy was to return for the same item, but a different size without a receipt. Or no return option at all! You buy it you keep it. I stood at the register for over 20 minutes pulling up the Zara app, on their weak wifi. This was in an effort to see if the receipt was on the app, but it wasn't. I asked for the manager who gave me a piece of paper with the customer service number on it and instructed me to call myself.

    When I spoke to customer service which was not in the United States, I was told that they could send me a copy of my receipt in TWO DAYS! Why am I standing at the register thinking I could get this handled the same day? I left The Victoria Gardens store and I drove all the way home, picked up the receipt, drove to Arcadia, and made the exchange. Why couldn't Zara accommodate me? Poor, low-quality service, they don't give a ** about their customers. They only want our money. Zara does not deserve my business. Their policies are a slap in the face to the customers.

    Zara has become one of the pettiest companies ever. The online experience started as a good one. They would send you a re-usable box, returning labels and even tape to close the box. Now they charge you for shipping during sale seasons and you have to print your own labels. They are trying to reduce costs to a point that often the clothes get home in boxes that are all torn apart. God forbid if you have to reach out to online CS. You may not even reach anyone. A chat is started online and someone may or not reply, and don't be surprised if they abandon the chat before you do. They are not trained to say "I'm sorry" or to make any concessions. And nothings gets better if you ask to speak with a supervisor.

    I had the worst experiences with online Zara. The worst was when I was never refunded for a return. Contacted the customer service a few times (at least two) and eventually decided to cancel the payment through AMEX. Well, Zara banned me from buying online because I requested to cancel the payment through AMEX. They make no concessions - and that's just their policy. I understand they know their clients will come back not for the CS, but rather for their products. Honestly, I think twice before purchasing at ZARA and it used to be go to. And the main reason for the hesitation: their pettiness.

I called back in a few days and said we still haven't received the package. I was given case ID # and was told that a new package would be sent.

    I call again to say nothing was ever received (though I suspected this would happen because no confirmation email was sent). I was then told the original package was delivered on Dec. 24th and asked who was home at the time of delivery. I said my entire family, it was Christmas Eve. They asked if I live in an apartment, condo or townhouse. I say none of the above, I live in a private home. I am then told that the item is now out of stock. I asked if the item had still been in stock the first time I inquired about the missing package. No real response to that question. I am offered a store credit and free shipping on my next item.

    I purchased an item online that did not fit and decided to return the item with the intention of repurchasing in another size. Less than 1 week passed between receiving the item and mailing it back for a refund. The item is unused with all original tags attached. I also included my original receipt in the return parcel. While the return item was in transit back to Zara, the credit card that I used for the original purchase was part of a security breach and the account was closed. The credit card company said that since the account has been closed, they cannot accept the merchant refund. The refund will be bounced back the merchant. Note: Since I have had a few security issues with this credit card company, I opted not to have them reissue me a new card. There was $0 balance on the card.

    I then contacted Zara to ask if it were possible to refund to an e-gift card or store credit as I intended to make a repurchase anyways. The answer was no…their policy is to only issue a refund back to the original form of payment. I understand why this policy exists and normally would not take issue with it. But I am stunned that Zara online does not have a policy in place for circumstances such as closed/inactive accounts.

    I called one of the physical stores to inquire about the return policy when the original credit card used was cancelled (for an item with a receipt and tags still attached). They said it would be honored as an exchange OR put onto a gift card. I am equally as stunned that Zara online has a different policy than their brick & mortar stores. If I had known that their return policy is so rigid and inconsistent, I would have kept the item and had it altered or donated it. So lesson learned….If your credit card gets cancelled before Zara has processed your return, they will not offer to place your money owed on a gift card. In fact, they get to keep the item you sent back and the refund that “bounced back” to them. Horrible customer service and horrible return policies.

    I absolutely love Zara's clothing. I have purchased so many pieces in the last 6 months. My closet is full of Zara. The clothing is uniquely stylish and of superb quality. I've only had two bad experiences. The first bad experience was when I tried to return a pair of shoes that were defective. The elastic part of the slingback was overstretched or a little too long and so the sling back wouldn't stay on my ankle.

    I had waited about 2 weeks to initiate the return and I didn't think anything of it because Zara has a 30-day return policy. When I called to return the item, the customer service agent kept putting me on hold like she didn't want to allow the return, and then she came back and asked: "What took you so long to call?" I answered: I was just busy. And that was the truth. Returning items to retailers isn't exactly on the top of my to-do list or at the forefront of my mind these days. Ultimately, she approved the return, but I don't like the hesitancy or that I was questioned in that way.

    Another annoyance I have is that Zara does not make it simple enough for us to determine our size based on the fit that we want. The models don't always wear the size that aligns to their body measurements according to the size chart; therefore, Zara should start putting the model's body measurements on the item page. It would be helpful to know the model's bust, waist, hip, height, and weight measurements. This will help us to choose the size that fits us the way the item fits on the model, especially when the model is in fact wearing a different size than what the size chart would indicate for a body measurements, because the creative artist wants to show the model in a looser fit. I'm sure it would also reduce the number of returns.

    The only other annoyance that I have with Zara is that they use a lot of male models and it's very hard for a woman to imagine how an item would look on her body when a man is modeling it. I wish that they would show the same item on a woman in additional pictures. However, I'm sure this won't change - it's all a part of the program. That's all.

    It is with great regret that I am writing this review about one of my favourite brands. I have been a Zara fan since the age of 10 from the time I was raised in Dubai. I used to go to this store almost every month to purchase clothes and has had a great attachment for decades. The other day (on the 13th of November 2021 at around 4 to 5 pm in the evening to be precise), I went to the Zara store at the Eton centre. Not only did I regret this visit, but also the image of this brand changed my mind forever.

    I walked around the store and picked 2 shirts to try on for the following day’s meeting. I wanted to try the fit of this shirt on and went into the trial room. The following happened which could be verified by the camera footage if you have any. 1) I waited in the trial room for 1 hour and 45 minutes for the customer service individual to bring the next size shirt. They scanned the bar code initially, after about 40 minutes of waiting, they brought in the same size shirt with a different neckline. After 25 minutes more of waiting, they brought a different shirt of the same colour and a different neckline. After another 25 minutes, they brought the same shirt in and asked me to try the fit on and order the product online since it was not available on stock, while clearly there were quite a few in number reflected on their apple devise as witnessed by me.

    When I questioned about this, the lady said that sometimes the barcode could be wrong and they could not find the item in the store. How could barcodes go wrong Zara? If that is a case you have a computerized system that provided unreliable information that needs to be changed or is it that your staff is too lazy to look for the item even after about 2 hours of me waiting in the trial room? They said that the floor is too busy, however other customers also left out of frustration and many more came in and went. This was the case of the 1st shirt that I tried on

    2) The store did not have the right size of the 2nd shirt that I tried on so I ordered it online for which shipping cost was free. While at the counter, this item was cancelled in front of me without my knowledge and ran out of stock. I had to walk to the other store in Queen’s Street to get hold of the last piece in the cold. Mistakes happen and I know it. The store was busy however was not unmanageable. I probably would have been the calmest frustrated customer you might have had. I kept telling the floor staff that “It was on, things happen, but just help me”. What frustrated me the most was what is mentioned next?

    3) While waiting in the trial room and being claustrophobic, I told one of the floor staff (very cooperative, assuring and well trained) that I wanted to talk to the store manager about the inventory management system. I did not want to complain about the staff as we are all humans. The manager came and asked me the following - "What is it that you wanted to talk about?" (With folded hands and an attitude that she wasn’t ready to help, like "I am here, this is how things work here" kind of an attitude).

    Everyone is busy and the so-called manager is supposing to address the issue in a welcoming manner. I repeated and told her that I am so frustrated (calmly _ the video footage is evidence to my word). She stared into my eyes in said: “As I SAID THE STORE IS BUSY”, someone is again looking for the shirt I wanted. I asked for her name and she again stared into my eyes and said “EVERY EMPLOYEE HERE HAS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO GIVE THEIR NAME BUT SHE COULD GIVE ME HER EMPLOYEE NUMBER”. She wrote down her employee number and didn’t even come later to check if the issues were sorted. Rather she was causally hanging around talking to people and doing one thing or the other calmly as if there was no issue there.

    Later at the counter when my order was cancelled by one of the staff she came there again, checked and again told me that if I wanted the product I had to go to another store and casually walked away. My question here for Zara is, aren’t every customer and their issues important? What do you have to say about the experience that you have to offer at your store in the Eaton centre? Why would you keep such an untrained individual as a MANAGER whereas your other staff really are good at handling situations as such?

    Whatever I experienced was so terrible that I just feel that I will never return to your store because of managers like this woman. She was a woman, who was about 5 feet 8 in height, had brown short and straight hair with blue eyes. He name started with an L or T as per the locket she wore and her employee number was #**. If you have any respect for your customers, kindly use this on her performance evaluation and provide her with some sort of training to handle a store at a good location such as Eton Centre. The reputation and the emotional attachment that I had with this brand has been permanently damaged with this one employee and I could the leadership of this brand in Ontario should take the necessary action.

    WORST ZARA EXPERIENCE EVER! I ordered 2 of their perfumes online on August 24, 2021 and I got a confirmation saying they were estimated to be delivered August 27, 2021. August 27 came and there were no sign of my package, my order still said being prepared, so I waited a couple days and there still wasn’t an update. I called customer service August 30, 2021 and the lady told me to wait for an update if not then they were going to send a replacement order. I went on the app and they couldn’t find my original order, so they sent a replacement, the replacement arrives September 2, 2021. When I open the box one of the perfumes is broke and spilled all over the box like the box was leaking when I picked it up to bring it inside.

    I called the next day to let them know it came broke and they told me I need to send pictures and then send the broken perfume bottle back. I wasn’t given clear instructions on how to go about that process and had more important things to do so I waited until I had time to do so. So I called back to re-inform them about my messed up order and they asked me why I waited so long and basically if I was the one that broke it. I then sent pictures of the broken item and was once again questioned about “why I took so long,” so then I sent the pictures that I took the day I opened the box which was September 3 at 12am and sent them screenshots with the time stamp on them so they could stop thinking that I’m lying.

    After that I was given a case number and talked to another customer service representative and they asked if I wanted a replacement or refund and I said a replacement because I didn’t want to pay for shipping all over again and they did the opposite. They sent me a refund but didn’t include the money I spent on shipping. So I had to get in contact with them again and I get an email saying that they don’t send replacements for replacements, which really upset me because the only reason I got a replacement in the first place is because they lost my first order so then they sent a replacement but the item in the replacement came broke and spilled. None of this is my fault and it seems like they don’t want to take responsibility for it.

    I’ve been having to contact customer service every week, 3 times a week for the past like 4 weeks. This whole situation started August 27 and has been going on until today September 20 and will probably continue since it seems like they don’t know what they are doing or how to fix my order. Not to mention the perfume is now sold out in all sizes so I’m just really upset. This was my very first order from Zara and it has been my worst online shopping experience ever, I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

If you have issues with an order, don't expect any support from them. It is insulting how they demean the customers who pay their wages.

    Clothing rarely fits good and when you try to return their policy is very strict. Not even during pandemic they are more flexible. Compared to others companies, Their return policy starts the moment they ship the items. Not when delivered, so the 30 day return period does not apply.

    So frustrating! I bought online 3 things for my baby boy. All those were small even when I got him the right size. Went to this store several times for a month trying to return it but was impossible. The store is always full of people. Long long lines to check out. No social distancing in place. A lot of people with mask under the nose and the employees don’t make anyone respect protocol. Every time had to leave. I’m not getting COVID in this store and now they won’t let me return the order since it pass 1 month window return. Not even give me store credit. Call customer service and the girl was super rude. They told me to keep my stuff. They won’t accept it! I will report this store for not following COVID protocols. A line from the cashier that goes all the way to the door is not good.

    I am a regular online shopper and this is my first time facing such a horrible experience. The product I bought was over $100 and after a delay 5 days from the expected day I started tracking through their website which redirected me to LaserShip company. They happened to deliver the product outside the area for delivery packages on my building and ZARA flatly said the LasherShip delivered, LaserShip said the door was closed so we just leave it outside the door (unattended) and no one is accountable. I just lost my money and had to deal with a ZARA that clearly doesn't care whether the client actually received the package from their Lasercheap company because BOTH are just horrible.

    HORRIFIED. BY. ZARA. CUSTOMER. SERVICE. I do not have enough time to even list all of my complaints since purchasing from zara on-line. I had never even shopped there before until a friend gave me her hand-me-down clothes from her daughter, and I thought they were adorable. So I went online to buy my daughter an amazing wardrobe about 6 months ago. Since then I have had horror stories about zara's customer service, the lack of communication and knowledge between store staff and on-line customer service, and their horrible return policies.

    I ordered a top in 12-18mo size and received 3T. So when I called them, I got a rude person on the phone who said they wouldn't transfer me to a manager and that I had to first return the shirt for them to issue me a new one, and that I'd have to call back once I was issued a tracking number so I could then place a new order. Ludicrous! Never got an "I'm sorry for the inconvenience of OUR mistake...". I explained I didn't want to wait for all that because I didn't want the top I wanted to be sold out, and asked if they could just place the order for me right then on the phone. He said no and could not help me at all. So with MUCH inconvenience, I went into the store, who also gave me conflicting info than had been given to me on-line.

    The salesperson re-ordered the shirt for me on-line while I was in the store since they didn't have it in stock. AND I RECEIVED THE SAME WRONG SIZE. I had to call Zara back and explain all of this to them AGAIN. And they told me it's clearly a quality control issue and that the bins were mislabeled. Again, never a "sorry for your inconvenience" and still couldn't get me a new top. This is just ONE of the horror stories of Zara, there are plenty more, and all with the same awful, unhelpful, unpleasant attitude from "customer service". Any time I have called I have never actually gotten any help, just complete frustration, not to mention BAFFLED that a company can exist this way. It's a shame they have such nice clothes for kids because I imagine that's why people keep shopping there, but Zara does NOT deserve to be successful. Awful company.

    Why you should rethink shopping at Zara USA as a consumer? Zara USA has demonstrated complete incompetence in their service department. On 11/30/20 I purchased six items that totaled about $300.00. During the purchase the Sales representative experienced a charge error on the regular system so Alex (the sales rep) rung me up on an external sales processing device referred to as the Hypercom or FD 130. Moreover, due to their fitting policy regarding the Covid pandemic at the Santa Monica, CA location on the promenade, customers now have to purchase the clothing items to try them on outside of the store since the fitting rooms are now closed. This causes a monstrosity of chaos for the store and customers. The lines are long due to people intending to return items constantly throughout the day and the sales representatives seem to be overworked from the influx of additional activity, hence, my current dilemma.

    Back to the story at hand, after my purchase I went to a nearby department store to try the items on and I wasn't satisfied. I returned my items and received the refund receipt but after several days I noticed in my bank account the refund never occurred. I contacted bank for due diligence. I was told the merchant has not issued a refund and there wasn't one pending. This escalated into several conservations with the Zara USA service team. I spoke to in store managers, the General Manager, the service representatives who caused the issue, several online & over the phone corporate service representatives and even a regional manager named Rodrigo was contacted and I still have not received a refund nor a proper response when and how this will be resolved.

    It has been nearly two months now. The in store manager, Eric was honest enough to tell me after a very livid conversation it was completely their fault. The sales representative never refunded me from the FD 130 system. The representative had only communicated to the regular sales system to process a refund that printed the receipt but my card was never charged there so it could not issue a refund so again, it was charged to the external system only and the refund was not processed there. Therefore, they have not refunded me nor complied to following up to provide a proper resolution. I have asked for cash, refund to the card, double store credit and even picking new items that total my amount spent. Each time I have not only been denied but ridiculed and belittled.

    I do not recommend this store as it violates not only national & international consumer laws but the pompous attitudes from the staff members are devious and lackadaisical in efforts of thinking critically to be truthful and supportive of their clients. I am highly disappointed as I have invested thousands of dollars in wardrobe from this brand and even over a thousand in November 2020 alone. I simply want an immediate refund and a formal apology that elaborates on their irresponsibility as a company and that particular franchise location. Please do not support this brand; its seems to be an overpriced fabric house, nesting to entrap honest hardworking citizens for their earnings through malpractice.

    Like the saying goes if I could have given this review 0 stars I would have!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE !! I placed two orders online in December 26 & 27, 2020 and still have not gotten the shipments. I tried contacting the customer service phone number only to be hanged up on because the automated machine told me the lines were busy and to try again in a few minutes. I placed about 6 calls after that and each time it was the same answer.

    Now, I tried using the chat option which is no better because they tell me that my shipment is being returned back to the sender and I will be issued a refund for all items. I didn’t place orders for it to be refunded and more than half the items that I ordered are out of stock. I wouldn’t even be mad if I were to be able to order the items again but they are completely sold out! I asked to speak to a manager and was told there is no manager or superior that I can speak to.

    When asking how can I get in touch with someone over the phone they gave me the same customer service number that hung up on me! I am being sent around in circles. They said they can arrange a call back from a manager at the end of the chat but that the call will not be guaranteed and they can’t say for sure when the manager would call. Now all of a sudden there is a possible manager to speak to when prior they said there were no managers. It has been about a week and still no answer from the manager and the phone line is still busy and hanging up on me. I WILL NEVER SHOP AT ZARA AGAIN. I loved their fashion and clothing options but after dealing with such a horrible customer service experience I refuse to give them any more of my money.

    Purchased a jacket/coat in July (Summer time) on Zara.com, which I obviously didn't get to wear until early Dec (Winter time). It's a Hooded high collar coat with long sleeves and front pockets, self belt. The very first day I wore it, the fabric - polyester - under the arms and by the pockets/side areas where a purse would rest - piled really bad with a lot of those fuzzy little lint balls. Just with one use/wear. When I went to the store - with the coat and even the tag I had cut out in order to wear a couple days prior - and explained the situation - I asked if I could return it. I was told they would not because the return time window had ended - even with the "due to Covid19" extension - and to call Customer Service about it to see if they could do anything for me.

    I called CS, explained the situation again, and was instructed to connect via their Chat service online so I could submit pictures of the item. I did- gave all my info, explained again, submitted images. I was told someone would contact me back about it. Three days later, no calls/no emails. I get on the Chat again explained, again - was told there was no record of my original inquiry to be found. Went through the process once again, and asked that they please filed up the inquiry in their database, as it was the 4th time I had to explain the situation.

    The next day I get an email, to call CS about my Order. When I called I was told that the resolution was: per the warehouse the item didn't leave the warehouse with the damage presented so no return/refund/store credit could be done. Well obviously I didn't get it damaged, otherwise I'd have noticed as soon as It came in the mail back in July and would have returned it right away. Basically the fact that the fabric's quality is such that it started pilling with ONE use seems not to be Zara's problem neither. They simply refuse to accommodate a loyal client. They'd rather lose a customer who buys their brand all the time than do a return (which would have been my very first return with this store). Because of the poor CS they've shown to me, I am not shopping this brand again. Shame on them.

    It would be good for people to know to not purchase or give people Zara gift cards during Lock Down!! Purchases done with a gift card online is not enabled for exchange. You have to return the item, wait for the return to be approved, then get the gift card credit reinstated so you can purchase again using the gift card. Very cumbersome and this is information that does not appear on the gift card terms and conditions!! In essence this means that someone that receives a gift card is double punished compared to getting cash for the same value: you cant spend it somewhere else, and you have less rights and facilities than if you did the same purchase with your own debit/credit card

    Also website chat conversations are restricted in character length, so you end up being unable to explain something in one single go. Website chat can not be scaled up for ease of conversation either and you can not upload files if you need to show something (unless you take a picture of it). And you cant request a transcript of the conversation either!! While speaking with someone via the website chat you will encounter agents that are clearly following a checklist and have a set of default replies. This is very alienating and frustrating.

    I tried to exchange a men’s shirt that I changed my mind about. I unfortunately misplaced my receipt but I paid with my phone and offered to show the cashier proof of the $45.90 Paid. She explained there was nothing she could do. I COULD ONLY REPURCHASE THE IDENTICAL SHIRT which I do not want. I had numerous items I wanted to purchase but was told I could not get a credit. I called customer service and was told the exact same thing. First of all I was not allowed to try on the shirt in store which is an adjustment to store policy. Why can’t an adjustment be made to allow for a credit then?

    Zara is inflexible in that they refuse to offer any level of understanding to its customers. I refuse to shop here any longer because of my experience today. There are many other options who actually offer excellent customer service along with quality merchandise. FYI- people do lose receipts and your system should allow for retrieval of transactions! There is no excuse for that!

    My first time ordering anything from this store. I placed a order online and thought I had sent the item to my house. It did not and went to a store an hour away from me. I tried to cancel and be refunded. They told me that they could not just refund me that I would have to go to the store and do it in person. Also they said if I didn’t go to the store after 15 days it automatically get refunded back to me. So First of all I just had a newborn and have been quarantining since covid. There was no way I was driving an hour away to a store to cancel an item. They said someone could pick it up but again we are not driving a hour away.

    Now I talked to someone in customer service since it’s been a month and half and still no refund. She let me know she needed to file a claim and then they could get a hold of me. Is this real life?! I never touched this item and it’s sitting in their store!! How does this make sense that I can’t be refunded?! Something needs to change also. This was my first and last time ever ordering anything from them and I will spread the word.

    I tried for several days to order a sweater on the website. Each time, the site said I could not process the order due to a different "issue" each time. On the fourth day, I called the customer service number, waiting 10 minutes, when an agent answered. She was THE most unhelpful, rude, anti-customer service agent I had ever encountered. She answered only yes or no to my questions, and after several frustrated minutes, I asked, "Can you help??," her answer was to put me on hold, and then after about 5 minutes she ended the call.

    I made an online purchase with Zara. They notified that the delivery is delayed. They would not take my return because it’s outside 30 days from the day they shipped. This is absurd to me since the stuff was not even delivered until a week later. How can I return something that I haven’t received it viewed yet? This is all during COVID times as well where we do not open the boxes straight away. I am now stuck with $800 worth of stuff. Customer service is also very poor.

    Updated on 08/06/2020: So here is the update. Zara blocked me from doing online purchases after the incident where I was disputing there were missing items in my shipment and missing package. Which both they refuse to refund. So I called my CC company to dispute those charges. My bank temporarily refunded me those money (roughly $500 for both packages). So I called them wondering why my acct is blocked. They told me if I want to unblock my acct I need to repay back those charges my bank refunded me on. Worst company on this planet. I said I am not going to pay money back for something I didn't received. So they will continue to block my acct.

    Original: I had been shopping with them for a long time and they are my main go to store. But this past month they have disappointed me so much that I will never shop from them. Issue 1: One of my orders there were two missing items. It was the same dress but in 2 different sizes. So I called customer service telling them about the situation. So I asked for a refund. They called me back and told me that they had investigated the situation and there was no error on the warehouse side. They said that they had put those dresses into the box. I argued back that I am refusing to pay for items that I didn't receive. They say they will re-investigate. And again they called me and said they are at no fault. That is $130 gone. They refuse to give it back to me.

    Issue 2: So one of package was stolen or undelivered. I called them about that issue and they said that they will not refund or replaced those items because there is no error with the delivery. They said since it said it was delivered at address so there is no error. I told them if UPS delivered to my garage then most likely the package is stolen since my garage is out in the open. There goes $360.

    I was so mad about this situation and went online to see whether other customers had encountered this situation and to my surprise there were many who had experience this. So in one month Zara literally robbed me of $500. I shop online all the time and other stores I never had issues regarding problems like this. They usually trust the customer word and will either refund or replace the products. I told them at a time like this where a lot of companies are financially struggling they still have better policy than Zara. DON'T BUY FROM THEM. Shopping from them is enabling the company to financially scam other customers.

    I have been shopping online for almost 10 years now and this is the worst company I have ever shop on. Aliexpress sellers have better customer service than this company. Bought over 300nzd worth of clothes but they sent me something I did not order, not my size and was only less than 60nzd. I chatted, emailed and even had to make a Facebook account just to get any response. A week after I received an email that I can proceed with the return. Went to the store and returned the item. I was told they cannot give me the correct products because the email only says I can return. They took the wrong order, processed it through "extra online" and said I will get a refund within 24 to 48 hrs. It has been a week since I returned the item but NOTHING.

    They are not even responding through FB chat anymore. Every time you talk to someone, no one seems to know about your issue. You have to tell what happened over and over and over again and it always goes back to "oh we're so sorry for the inconvenience, we will look into this matter". But the "looking into this matter" never ends, it will never resolve. Disgusting! Hope this company gets bankrupt!

How are you going to sell something that CLEARLY wasn’t out of stock when I ordered, and then tell me, a WEEK later that I can no longer receive them? Granted, the person I talked to was quick in his reply, but to tell me that my order “was never wrapped and shipped” is completely unacceptable. If something is out of stock, DO NOT let someone purchase it only to tell them it’s not for sale anymore! Don’t buy anything from Zara online, or Zara for that matter.

    Zara a few years ago was an amazing store to shop from. Particularly from online you would get your items super fast and the customer services was great too. Now they take more than 8 days to send any information on your order. I order June 24 it’s July 2 and still no information. My order, just says being prepared on the app. On the order confirmation it said Expected by July 3rd. I have come to realize it most certainly won’t since that’s tomorrow and I still have no information on it. When I called customer service the poor guy thought I had just order it yesterday, even they don’t have their information right. He then told me that my item had been sold out but they had found one “just for me” and that maybe that’s why it was taking longer.. well hopefully it isn’t a crappy one since it’s “the last one”. So Beware buying online, Zara is not that store we used to love shopping online from. You are better of just going to the store.

    I ordered $500 worth of clothes for my son and not even a week & a half later, the site had a massive 30-35% off sale. This included a sale on roughly 80-90% of the clothes I just bought a week prior. I called and asked if they could do a price adjustment instead of me taking my clothes back to the store; returning them and then rebuying them to get the sale price. They told me nope that I had to go the store.... which was 5 hours away. I originally ordered everything online and they did absolutely nothing for me. They said I could send the clothes back in and rebuy them but that I may lose some items if they sell too fast. I think it’s pretty harsh to not give your customer a price adjustment over the phone with a store voucher but tell them they could get it if they drove 5 hours, return the items and then rebuy them.

    I made a rather sizable order with Zara that was supposed to arrive two weeks ago. The order shipped in two separate shipments, the first of which arrived just fine on its own with zero issues. When I realized the second half of the order hadn't arrived on time, I checked my email, found nothing & by then, customer support was closed (7:30 EST) so I shrugged my shoulders thinking it was a courier issue (we live in a complex) & thought nothing of it.

    A busy week passed by & I became alarmed finally, no package. I checked my email again & found a simple message from the day previous stating Zara Support had tried to contact me via phone, but that I hadn't answered & that I should contact them. Again, support was closed for me by this time (4:30 PST) & packages don't arrive until around 4 or 5, plus, it was Friday. 'Okay, no big deal, I should have been more diligent about the matter.' I think & decide to wait until Monday.

    Finally, Monday arrives & not wanting to wait on hold, I answer every unknown call that comes my way until I finally get a call from Zara. The associate tells me I provided an "incomplete" address & needs to update my post office. I tell her that's impossible, the first half of the order arrived, why wouldn't they have immediately looked at the first half instead of waiting around on me? She proceeds to rudely reiterate without answering any of my questions... Okay... I update her with my address, she thanks me, the issue is ended, right? Nope.

    I am busy all of Mother's Day week & head out of town to visit family. Today is the 14th & I realize the package still has not arrived. I check my email & again find one simple email stating Zara had attempted to contact my via phone & I had not answered. I contact their customer service, wait for 30 minutes on hold, & am told that the package was sent back to their warehouse & that I'll receive a refund... Why did I have to wait 30 mins to hear this? Why couldn't I have been notified via email? Why haven't I received my refund yet? Why hasn't ANYONE apologized to me?

    I gave two stars because Zara was slightly proactive in the matter of contacting me, however, they didn't do so until a week after the second order should have arrived. Had I received an email at any point stating that the post office did not have my correct address, I would have simply gone to USPS myself & picked up the package. My order was almost $300 worth of stuff & I only received 4 of the least expensive ( $50 in clothes for my son) items. That means I haven't received a refund that's over $200.

    I'm mainly upset because there's clearly no consistency in their order process. The first warehouse printed out my address just fine, the second, however, did not; support blamed me & refused to handle the matter on their own by going through my account for the correct address. There's clearly no uniformity in the information available to associates... & The first one was randomly rude to me because of it. I wasn't rude when I asked those questions, just as upset & confused as anyone who had over $200 floating around in the ether clearly unaccounted for would be.

    If anyone, at any time, would have apologised & offered an explanation & a solution, I might not be writing this... But neither associate did & Zara Support was never proactive enough to make me implicitly aware of the issue right from the start. I will not be reordering from Zara again, I probably won't even shop there ever again... It's clear their customer values & uniformity of policy & practice are lacking.

    Zara has the worst customer service I have come across in a long time. I had an order of three items. I returned the two shirts first then decided the shoes were not a good fit. I returned them and Zara confirms the package was received. I first called about the refund and was told to wait a few more days..ok no problem. I called again and was told they would escalate the missing refund. I would be contacted in 24 hours.

    Two days later and nothing. I call again and was told that the package was received but the item was not in the box. The rep then said the box weight was too low to contain a pair of shoes in her opinion I asked her why was I being accused of sending back an empty box and taking the risk during this virus time to go to the post office to send back an empty box! I also have the post office receipt but she said that wouldn’t help me because they did receive the box. Literally the ONLY thing in the box was the shoes. She rushed me off the phone and said she would resubmit the investigation request.

    Zara does not have an email like other stores - only Facebook and twitter. So I am now sending messages on Facebook about this. After reading the reviews here tonight it seems that this is a common issue and I don’t have much hope for a resolution. Three phone calls and nothing yet....I also asked why there wasn’t a note in their system linked to the return When it was received that the box was empty and why it had to go in to investigation. Either someone is stealing returns as they come in or Zara uses this excuse quite often to rip off their customers.

    My next step is going to the BBB because I have already paid my credit card bill so I can not try to go through them to refute the charges. I have another $300 order that I had placed before this nonsense and it has not yet shipped. Delayed for another week due to the virus situation which if true I understand. After all of this I chose the cancel option on my order just now but it said it can not be processed. If I do not receive this order or have any issues with it I will go through my credit card company because I a, sure they have already charged Me for it.

    Zara has a ton of Brand Ambassadors on Social media promoting their products. It worked because it introduced me to the brand. However now it makes me sick because they send these brand ambassadors on trips, the influencers openly state they return a lot of clothes and all of them are early 20s, size 2 and beautiful. I now think that this company sucks in young shoppers and then uses poor customer service to rip them off. They are fast fashion and a huge, high revenue, world wide company — no excuse for poor customer service especially in a time when stores are struggling to stay open. I would suggest to rethink where you shop and support stores with better ethics and higher quality products. I will certainly be doing this.

According to Zara return policy they will place the new order at no cost but you have 14 days to return the return item. I returned the item the same day I received the new order. The item returned arrived at the according destination which states delivered, (I don't know what they do after or where it goes after) but it arrived March 31. Today is April 15 and zara is charging me for the return item because according to them it hasn't arrived to their warehouse even though it states delivered. I called the customer service and according to them since the items hasn't arrived to their warehouse, meaning I'm responsible until it reaches their warehouse. Now I'm being charge for return items until it reaches to their warehouse.

    When I called customer service, the representative that answer was so (unprofessional). I was explaining my problem to her that I return the items within the 14 days policy, that I have no control on whether the item is arrived to their warehouse on time but that I did my part on returning it before the 14 days and that I have proof is already delivered and that why am I being charge? She kept repeating herself. Instead of helping me she hang up the phone. Her name is Alexandra. I called again and spoke with a more Professional customer service. She explained to me since it hasn't arrive to the warehouse I'm being charge but that she put a request for me to be refund because she see that I return it and it just waiting to arrive the warehouse but to give it time to arrive. I might be wrong but I know that I return my items on time for them to double charge me for something I return. Beware if you exchanging anything from Zara.

    I purchased 3 ceramic tumblers from Zara to use in my bathroom primarily to store my toothbrush in, rinse toothpaste out of my mouth or to drink water and to wash and store my makeup brushes in. I washed them by hand, checked the bottom of the cup for washing instructions, and then went to check the labels to see if they could be put in a dishwasher. There was no label on the bottom of the tumblers so I then looked at the stickers that were attached to the bottom of the tumblers. The stickers for the 2 white ceramic tumblers said "not safe for food...if vessel is used for food may be harmful". I was not comfortable using these for items I am putting in my mouth and on my face including my eyes so contacted the customer service department to request a return.

    I was shocked when I chatted with the customer service person and was told that this was categorized as a bathroom accessory and not expected to be food-safe so I couldn't get a return. All glasses on their site are specifically listed as tumblers. This item was listed as a tumbler. It looks very very similar to the ridged terracotta tumbler I purchased the same day that apparently was classified as tableware. In a bathroom setting this tumbler would be used for rinsing out toothpaste out of your mouth, to drink water, or storage of items like your toothbrush that would go in your mouth. For Zara to sell something and list it as a tumbler and not specify it's for decorative use only and that harm can come to you from using it is completely unacceptable. If I didn't check for washing instructions I would be using this to rinse out toothpaste, drink water and to store my toothbrush, as I am sure other consumers are doing.

    Zara Home should be required to review all of the bathroom tumblers that they are selling and either ensuring they are food safe or clearly labelling them online as not food safe and for decorative purposes only and not describing them as a tumbler so harm doesn't come to the customers that don't happen to notice the sticker at bottom. I am now out 18 and am stuck binning tumblers I wouldn't be comfortable donating.

    Yet another unsatisfied customer. Back in February, I tried using Zara's online service to purchase some clothing. The package did not make it on the date that was supposed to be delivered. Only a month later I received a return invoice and a refund without any explanation whatsoever of what happened. I tried reaching out to customer support in their chat service. Selena, Zara's representative, would not provide relevant information on why the delivery service was not completed, except to say: "Your purchase has been cancelled. Try buying again." My immediate question was: "If Zara doesn't help me understand what the issue was, how do I know I will not have the same issue with my new order?" Her answer: "We cannot guarantee anything."

    It is incredible unusual to hear from a Company's representative that their company is unreliable. So, just in case this was an isolated case of a representative that is bad at their job, I tried reaching out other members of their Customer's support department on a FB private conversation to help me understand the issue that I am having with Zara's online service and delivery. Their support was as unhelpful's as Selena's: "You got your money back, there is nothing else we can do for you." They didn't even attempt to listen to my questions and my needs.

    Whenever you hear about Companies with great customer support, you know that they will turn a bad customer experience around into a positive one. Zara is far from this. Especially at this time, when online customer experience is becoming the regular way of consuming goods, Zara is far behind from their competitors and has no future in the digital business due to frustrating customer experiences such as this one.

In addition, the mailbox is on the building's lobby and so small it can't fix a box or bag with 4 dresses. There was NO delivery, not to my door, not to me. But you know what happened Zara wouldn't accept the truth and they penalize me. They just declined to refund or replace items.

    Well complete waste of time doesn't even begin to describe the time spent with the Zara customer service team. They should post on their site the Zara definition of "manufacturing defect" - usually one with eyes can see if there is a manufacturing defect at one glance and that is also why I would assume you have a QC team checking for manufacturing defects before the product even hits store. However there is a thing called a quality issue which is determine when the item cannot withstand its intended use which is usually experienced by the customer, which is why you have a customer service team to assist with this.

    I am not one to write in reviews, I usually will just not ever purchase a certain product from that brand again, but wow the one time I do what an experience, thank you Zara ... for nothing. The boots are very nice, however the they cannot withstand more than 2 wears, the heel is made quite poorly and may chip on you if it should contact anything.

And due to a mistake by the person on the price tag this was $49. Initially the women on the counter mentioned Zara will honor it. But after talking to the manager he mentioned they can’t do it. It was really a bad experience in Zara. They should have honored the price. I’m completely dissatisfied and before I was a regular customer of Zara. Now I will not come again.

    I got two shoes for my boys and both of them were small. When I called to exchange the sizes they informed me that they can not do anything as it's 40 days since I bought the product. I asked for store credit if they can not change the sizes but they even couldn't issue a store credit. Very disappointing.

    I bought a pair of black pants that would slide to the side when I wore them, I attempted to return it for refund and the store manager, without thoroughly examining it, declared it not refundable with an attitude that went along with that decision. Ever since, I have been speaking to the rudest, most incompetent and unprofessional staff that I have ever come across.

    I SHOPPED AT ZARA HERALD SQUARE STORE AND HAD A VERY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I have lost my purse while riding home and I misplaced my Zara receipt that was in it. I used my Chase visa card so I had the date and the charge on my statement posted. I called customer service and they told me that they can only give me the total of my purchase but not the exact details. I figured that this information probably stays at each store location.

    So I took a train back to Herald Square store with my credit card statement as proof, and the items I wanted to return. I asked for the manager and was informed that they dont have the detail receipt for me. I mean for heavens sake!! This is 2020!! This is not an era that information is not retrievable by no means!!! It's all at our fingertips and Zara has this information. I am mad for it was quite a bit of money there had to be returned! So anyone out there that needs my advise go down to the store to try and only buy what you really need. Also rather make an online purchase than an in-store one. Since you'll have the email back up. Spread the word. And the bad reputation. ZARA WILL NOT BE MY STORE TO SHOP. BEWARE!

    I accidentally put 3 items to return in a box that belongs to another order number. Afterwards, I was only issued a refund for the items of right order number. I called customer service to check regarding the 3 items that I accidentally added to the wrong box. I gave them exact order numbers and reference numbers for each misplaced item. After 2 days customer service called back and claimed that the Zara warehouse cannot locate these items and will not refund or send back these items.

    I would have expected from a reputable fashion store to notify me about the misplaced items, or at least send them back by mail instead of being extremely careless and discarding them. These items were barely $40. I would have appreciated if they at least acknowledged me as a regular customer and perhaps issued me a gift voucher instead of these lost items. I will have to think twice before returning things to Zara by mail. I am extremely disappointed with their carelessness, their poor customer service and lack of appreciation to their recurring clients.

I called and was told the label in the pants was cut out and they would not be refunding my money. I told them that I wanted the pants back then. Which they said they would return to me.

    After speaking to my son he said he never cut the any tags out of the pants. I called back but was told that the pants had been mailed back to me and are not eligible for a second return.

No success. I was expected to know all about cookies and goodness knows what else re his instructions. I refreshed the page and finally I gave up and resumed the browsing and choosing all over again some time later. Finally the check-out accepted my phone number and just as my credit card payment went through a warning pop-up said my time had expired on the website so I have no idea whether my payment has gone through - just have to keep checking to make sure it hasn't. I even had a delivery slot.

    Prior to my second attempt I had been on their website all afternoon and yet this time I was told my time had expired. Strange when in fact it seemed as though my payment had gone through!! Perhaps it has I just down know. Whatever the case may be I will never buy anything from Zara's again on-line and will be reporting my experience to their customer services.

They did not issue me a refund for all the items I returned even though I sent them a picture as proof that the items where in the box. The manager just kept repeating they investigated the case and the items where not included and made me eat the cost of the items I returned. It’s unfortunate that they make the customer eat the cost even though it seems like they have theft going on internally in their warehouse.

Which not sure what they will do, since they have to believe us. Is -about 100$ worth so it’s not the $ but that Zara is not sending via UPS or Fed Ex and so by using USPS is a rail in Florida as their employees must be stealing! Shame.

    I have been a customer of Zara for over ten years now. I recently made three separate online purchases from and had to return four of the items. This is the first time I've returned anything to the them. I received emails from the company acknowledging receipt of the items. The emails further went on to state that the refunds would be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase within 14 days.

    The first refund made it to my bank account but, the others did not as the account to which the card was linked was closed due to fraudulent activity. I informed Zara of this during 3-4 separate conversations. I requested that they place the refund on a different card or send me a check. The individuals I spoke with were absolutely useless and appeared to be poorly trained. They all had the same line, 'the refund was issued and I needed to check with the bank'. I asked them how a refund could have been issued to a closed account. I have yet to get an answer to that question.

    It was clear that the representatives didn't care about the customer and were not there to assist in resolving the issue. My case was forwarded to a 'case manager' who was just as useless. Speaking with her and the other reps was like being in an episode of the Twilight Zone. I have chalked this whole experience up to money wasted; money I which I will never recover. Zara is a company that lacks integrity and I will NEVER purchase from them again. I will also warn everyone I know about doing business with them.

    I never had an issue with Zara purchases, but this time the toddler shoe I purchased online arrived defective. After reading Returns and Exchanges policy on Zara.com I took the defective shoe for replacement. When I approached the cashier (WESTFIELD VALLEY FAIR, 2855, Stevens Creek Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95050) and explained that I want to exchange the shoe because it arrived defective, the cashier looked for to see if they had any in stock. However, their system was showing there was one pair left, but the cashier was not able to find it. So I asked what to do. The cashier said I can send it back to zara.com and ask for an exchange. I've asked if the cashier can help me proceed exchange process from the store, to which the cashier agreed.

    Before the cashier started the process I repeated that I want to exchange for the same size and the same price (since shoes were purchased on sale). The cashier started the process and handed me the receipt of the refund and said I can order a new one and showed a full price of shoes. I said that shoes were purchased on sale and I want to exchange for the same size and same price. The cashier told me that it's not possible since ** zara has some rules (which you can't find on their 'HOW TO MAKE AN EXCHANGE' page). According to this "rule", while there is no similar item in stock in zara store, if a customer wants an exchange a store can take you the product back and make you buy in full price (doesn't matter if you just wanted an exchange and the product is defective not by customer's fault). Then I asked to give me shoes back and cancel the refund, to which I received a rejection. Zara's ** system sucks.

    Right away I've called their customer support. The customer support was useless, was just mumbling and repeating the same answer. The issue is not the difference in the price (which is not that big), it's that zara does not honor their customers and that their site is misleading. I hope someone sues them and makes them fix their system. Lesson learned: Zara does not care about its customers. Also, notice they don't allow you to write reviews for their products.

    I have been a Zara customer for many years and have maybe returned 2 or 3 things in my history of shopping. I placed a buy online-pick up in store order on October 16 and it arrived to the store in Seattle on October 24. I was out of town for my 1 year wedding anniversary and was back in town on October 30 and picked it up soon after then. The denim was unfortunately too big. I didn't realize that there were very strict policies around making returns since I rarely return your product; and had I known, I would have brought my item with me to return as I had to turn around and travel for work the following week.

    I've finally been able to settle in after the Thanksgiving holiday and attempted to return my item today in the Seattle store. I didn't have my original order email, as I had deleted it thinking that the denim would work out, and unfortunately my inbox wipes out the deleted folder once a week. The lady in the store was really nice and explained that I could call the online customer service team who could pull the history of my order, send me a return label to ship it back, and get store credit since it's past the 30 day return policy.

    I was totally fine with that so I called the customer service line and the lady on the phone re-sent my order confirmation to me via email but said that I am not able to return it for store credit since I'm past the 30 days - conflicting information than what I received from your store employee. She escalated me to a different division, and that gentleman said that I was given incorrect information by the last lady and was sent to the wrong division. So he sent me to a different lady, who in the end said that she can do nothing about my issue. When I asked to speak with a supervisor after now being bounced around 3 times with no resolution, she said no one was available.

    When I questioned how a manager would not be available in the middle of the day, she put me back on hold and I magically got a manager on the phone. He identified himself as "Ferdie the floor supervisor." Ferdie was dismissive and condescending, reading your policies to me like I don't understand English. When I asked who Ferdie's manager was so that I could submit feedback about my experience thus far, he refused to give me any information, saying that he is the highest person to speak with regarding customer service.

    At minimum, I would expect that the employees of Zara - online or store side - would be familiar enough with your policies and not send your customers in every which way, and still get no resolution. I understand what the policies are now, and I'm disappointed that Zara would make it this difficult to return product with all original tags attached and not understand that sometimes 30 days isn't a possibility to make a return - since the item has been delivered on 10/24/19, I've barely missed the one month mark to return them back to the store, as today is 12/4/19 and 11/24/19 (a month after being delivered to the store) was only a week ago.

    I'm incredibly disappointed with my experience and I'll be donating my unworn-tags-attached denim to the Seattle store, as I have no use for them because they do not fit me. I've learned my lesson with how you treat your customers, and you've lost me as a customer forever. Seeing that it was impossible to find an email associated with any senior leader, and this was the only email address available to your customers, I can only hope that someone will read this and possibly reconsider the way you treat the people who keep your company running - the customer.

I am an AVID shopper of Zara, both online and in stores, primarily at South Coast Plaza which is a huge store. I literally spend thousands every year. Many thousands. Today I brought a pair of jeans to the Mission Viejo store. I grabbed all of the Zara receipts I had on my desk. There were four in total. The jeans had every tag on them. I bought them, tried them on at home, they didn’t fit well and I was returning them. At the store the sales person scanned all of the receipts and none matched. Apparently I had thrown the correct receipt away. I offered him my platinum card, to scan it to confirm the sale was indeed mine. Zara has done this in the past when I didn’t have a receipt. This guy wouldn’t scan it and told me I couldn’t return the jeans.

    I asked for the manager. His name is John. He refused to give me his last name. He told me I could not get a refund. He told me I could exchange for the same jeans. I told him I didn’t want the same jeans! That’s why I was bringing them back! I also showed him all of the receipts of items I had recently purchased and kept. Again, EVERY tag was on the pants, including, of course, the sewn in tag inside. The manager refused to take my return. He said I have to have the paper receipt.

    I said a store credit was fine, I can happily spend the store credit. He refused. He told me to call the corporate office. This is THE MOST HORRIBLE CUSTOMER service EVER. In this day of electronic everything, it is RIDICULOUS that a piece of thin paper be the ONLY thing to validate a return. I didn’t even want my money back!! A credit would have been fine!!!

Is there anything else I can help you with today?" OH, OK. Thanks for repeating facts to me without offering a solution.

    The person then says this has to go through a review which will take over 2 weeks. When I asked for the order to be cancelled and refunded since apparently they can't provide any information, the person responded "I'm very sorry, however, as this has is too far into the warehouse, we can't cancel the order" Look, Zara. You're not hot **. This is the era of instagram influencers, and online boutiques. Retail giants are filing chapter 11 bankruptcy left and right. The one thing you can do to ensure you have repeat customers you can retain is to provide valuable customer service. You have definitely lost my business as someone who has exclusively shopped Zara for a decade. HASTA LA VISTA! I'll stay tuned for your bankruptcy news as it looks like I'm not the only one with a terrible experience.

    Whatever you do don't remove the 5'x2' tag from the inside of your clothing item! I recently purchased a pair of jeans and a beautiful black shirt. The construction of the jeans around the pockets/zipper area was poorly constructed, so I wanted to exchange them for another item. I had my receipt and all the tags except for the mentioned 5'x2' interior tag. The sales clerk said they would not exchange the jeans because that tag wasn't attached. Really? I've never heard of such a thing not even from a small locally owned boutique. I cannot believe a large corporation, such as Zara, would have such an awful return policy. Sadly I will not be shopping there anymore.

    This happened five or six months ago, but I'm still livid about Zara's theft & incompetence, so I'm going to share my experience. If nothing else, it'll warn others so they can avoid bitter experiences of their own. I placed an order (#**), of which I kept some items and returned the rest for varying reasons. When I received the return acceptance e-mail (return #**) some time later, I noticed that it was partial. None of the five t-shirts I sent back were included in the e-mail or refund amount.

    Puzzled, I rang Zara's customer service line. I explained that the t-shirts were missing and asked that they correct it, adding that the odds of a mistake on my end were ZERO - I packed everything myself, was supremely methodical, triple-counted, then sealing and delivered it myself. I was told it would be investigated, which was fine by me. I told them that the fact that JUST THE T-SHIRTS were missing was probably a clue that they may have been sorted by category, or set aside for some reason.

    On March 20th, I got a voicemail from a "Sandrine", giving me case number **. I rang back and was told that regrettably, they couldn't assist me. I said, very politely, that this news was unacceptable. I spent time repeating everything. I told her that she could not expect me to tell her what's wrong with THEIR operation - I have no way of knowing if it was theft from one of their employees, if the t-shirts had been misplaced by their staffers, if their supply chain systems were broken, or what in the world had happened. It was their responsibility to find out, not mine. I had done my part and sent the items. The person said that my issue would be escalated further, and I thanked her. Surely they would investigate properly and I would get good news, right?

    Well, guess again. On March 23rd, I got a voicemail from a "Raquel" calling from 855-635-9272. She referenced a new case number: **. More stonewalling, their "investigation" had turned up nothing. I said that I failed to see how that was my problem. What, exactly, did this so-called "investigation" entail? Didn't they have cameras in their warehouses to check such things? How was it my responsibility to tell her what had gone wrong on their end?

    The onus was on Zara to figure out why and how they misplaced five t-shirts I sent back (packed with the items they did refund). How are any of us otherwise supposed to prove what we sent back?!? Even if I had taken photos of everything packed neatly on its way back, that proves nothing. And it frankly feels offensive - not only are they implying that I'm either a thief or didn't send what I know I packed, but they're keeping my money too! It's beyond the pale. The person I spoke to suggested that, to avoid this, returns can be done in store too. I told her that I'm not going to drive an hour and a half into the closest Zara store, with the fuel and parking fees and toll fees that entails, just to avoid their incompetence with online returns.

    Four of the returned t-shirts that Zara lost/misplaced/miscounted were $17.90 each and the fifth was $9.90. That's $81.50...let's say about $88 with tax. Am I going to sue Zara for $88-ish bucks? Of course not, I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face, and end up wasting more time and money than this is worth. And past a certain point of spending hours on the phone, with zero assistance from Zara's people, I'm not going to spend days arguing pointlessly til I'm blue in the face. After a certain point, my time is worth more. I was left with no real solution except to let Zara steal from me. And make no mistake - it's theft, it's fraud, and it's outrageous. Whether it happened because of bad business processes, employee theft, warehouse incompetence, or miscommunication doesn't change that fact (and is not my problem). THIS COULD BE YOU TOO - Zara is not accountable to its customers, no matter what their policies say.

    I cannot force Zara to pay what they rightfully owe me, and it's a relatively small amount. You know when you feel like you've been taken advantage of and are powerless to change it? It stings, right? The principle bothers me a lot more than the amount involved. This happened months ago, but now I've decided to do something about it.

    I believe in accountability. So here's what I'm doing to hold Zara responsible for failing to refund the rest of the order I sent, hiding behind their supposed "investigation": 1. I resolved to never, ever buy a single thing from Zara again, unless this is repaid to me (which it won't be). I've been purchasing their clothing all over the world for 20 years now. No more. I've likewise advised my friends & family to avoid them as well. I mean, would YOU trust them again?

    There are far too many great clothing brands to go back to someone who stole your money when they're at fault. I now buy from Bonobos (which costs a bit more, but have great discounts), Club Monaco, and on the cheaper end, Uniqlo and H&M.

    Zara may have kept my $88, but over the long-term, they will lose thousands of dollars in profit from me and my family because of their mistake. Being a giant conglomerate, they won't care, but I care that I'm holding them accountable. Long term, I win and Zara loses. 2. I'm going to disseminate my story everywhere I can: Yelp, Resolver, the Better Business Bureau, the FTC, Google reviews, and on and on. If you steal my money, you better believe I'm going to spread the word. So long, Zara. You got the better of me, but I'm going to hold you responsible before I forget you.

    Very simply, I ordered a dress for my wife online, paid £49.95 plus delivery (happy days). Dress arrives and the tag has a cost of 39.95 Euros. The same price as the black and white version I purchased the week before. I just called a very unhelpful 'customer service' agent (Rabia). After 10 minutes of her deflecting the question around the error, she told me this was human error??? Very evasive around the question and quite honestly awful and patronising at her job. My advice if you want to buy something online, do not use Zara as you will pay 30% more for a product that has a lower distribution cost from a retail store. One less shop for me to ever set foot in again. Well done Zara!!

    I ordered a pair of denim shorts online that offered stitching of your choosing on them in 1 of 3 locations (front/back/waist). However when I received the product, the initials were in a completely different place on the shorts than I had requested. This item is not returnable because it is personalized, which I understand, but they should find a solution because I did not receive what I had ordered. When I attempted to find a solution, I discovered the customer service was AWFUL. I did the chat with 5 different people only to have them completely stop replying to me after receiving my info and photos of the shorts. I called the company and they said to try chat again and assured someone would reply.

    I tried this AGAIN and still was ignored after a brief conversation. I called again and complained, and they said I could send photos of the shorts to this email account (files.us@zara.com) but "when I send the email, I will get a response saying the email is no longer in service but to ignore that". They literally told me to email a UNACTIVE DUMMY account that does not even work. I have received no response and am still getting ignored on the chat feature. I have no choice but to keep my item. I truly believe this company tries to tire out customers to the point where they give up seeking a refund or exchange of ANY KIND. This is the worst customer service I have ever dealt with and the owner/CEO/customer service should be ashamed.

    Contacted the chat due to wanting to complete a purchase. The response was quick; within a minute or so. Chatted with an individual name Mila. Explained to her that I was having difficulties in completing my online purchase; that the website stated that it was "unsecure" which made me nervous about putting in all my CC details. She went on and on and on and on about "use the app instead". When I informed her that I did not want to use the app and asking if there was anything else that we could do to complete the purchase; this Mila individual got stuck to stating that she would look into it and the suggest again and again that I should utilize their app. What a simpleton!!! She clearly is uninformed, disinterested and/or untrained. I decided that it was clearly too much for Zara and did not complete the purchase. Avoid this company! If they hire staff like her, they are clearly as clueless, uninformed and disinterested in their customers as this Mila person was!!!

    I was on trip and bought couple of cloth for my kid. Unfortunately I misplace the invoice and one of cloth was small for my kid, we went to the store and request to the people it's small, we want the 1 size bigger same thing. Omg they are so rude once they know we don't have invoice of that, and they refuse our request same time. Never believe this much big store have this kind of bad Policy which irritates the customer and people who are standing on the counter. They have to have this much manner how to talk with customer. I highly recommend to people to avoid this store who never understands the importance of customer.

    My package was delivered to an old address, because for some reason the site decided it would send the delivery to somewhere I haven't lived in over a year. (I've had 3 orders since delivered to correct address). Didn't notice until it was delivered so I had no time to change it. Spent over a week trying to get a return or replacement, multiple online chats, and finally a phone call where ultimately I was told there was nothing they could do to refund/replace my $80 order.

    Customer service was totally unhelpful and just kept repeating the same lines about how it was delivered to the address on the order. No duh. This 'policy' is absurd but I guess Zara is so large they don't care about customer satisfaction. Will never be order from Zara again, which is a shame because I'd previously spent hundreds of dollars there. Fix your website and hire some user experience/CSX people. A package should never be delivered to a different address than previous orders unless a customer explicitly says to do so.

    I've never have bad experience with ordering Zara Online store couple years ago. However, I now lost my stuffs when I return it in the mail box twice. In December 2018, I return 4 items on the same box, and all they refunded me was 3 of the items. When I asked them, they told me that they only received 3 of the items and the 4th item, which is a 9.99$ dress, had never being returned. What a shame that they blamed on their customer for telling their faulty customer service.

    I was thought that I would give them another chance by ordering clothes from Zara Online store again on July 2019. However, all I experienced was received a ripped shirt, a cross body bag with an attached security magnetic, and another pant lost in my return box. In this time, they told me the same thing that I had never returned the pant in the box and they told me that they only received 2 out of 3 items I claimed for return. I lost my money twice and there is nothing left for me to give a trust on Zara online customer service. I would not recommend anyone buying stuffs from Zara Online Store anymore. Their customer service had been bad and extremely unprofessional.

    I always shop online from Zara since we don’t have a Zara store in my town. As much as I love their accessories I hate their customer service. I never had any bad experience from them in the past. But this time they sent me a broken earring after an hour long chat with c/s they asked me to send the pictures. I did send them. But even after looking at them and knowing that this is their mistake they asked me to send it back. I would have send them back but this was purely their fault being a HUGE BRAND Which renowned globally you can’t refund your customers money without getting back your defected item. It’s about trust. If can give you money first and trust you that you’re going to send us an intact earring why can’t you trust your customer.

    I have spend thousands of $$$ before on Zara and on other brands as well. But their customer service is far way better than Zara ... It looks like I wasted my money and I’m never going to recommend them to anyone..! If it was some other company even after seeing those pictures they could have refunded me or have sended me a piece of earrings which I’d hardly $25 but Zara c/s is so Cheap.. Not only that they are rude. Horrible experience do not order anything from them online..!! Save your money. Order from MANGO INSTEAD OR FOREVER 21. There are many better eggs than Zara the dirty one!
