I placed an online order for 1 item. My order was canceled stating 3 years ago I disputed an item for $7 on an order that was $230+. My current order was canceled as a result and of the dispute. I never made any disputes to A&F. I believe A&F refused my order, then made up an excuse. A&F asked that I refund them $7 in a cashier’s check and send to them in order for my to shop with A&F in the future.

I ordered a couple items from Abercrombie and had to return because size was too big. I sent the items back over a month ago and I still have not receive my refund. I keep contacting them and no one gives me a valid answer. I will never buy anything from that store.

I ordered over $200 in clothing from Abercrombie & Fitch. The website states that the order is shipped by OnTrac. When my order was "lost", I was put online, in a "secure" chat, and then transferred over to an online Lawyer website which required my payment of $1.00 for their service. Oh my Lord. I am NEVER buying from Abercrombie & Fitch--online, or in brick and mortar facility. Horrible.

I spent more than the five-hundred dollars to make the VIP Club. Imagine my surprise when they docked me for EXCHANGING a pair of sweats that they sent with a hole in it. This is the second year that they've denied me. After noting that I'd been working to remedy the situation, a representative gave me a small courtesy fee to my account, which took them from using the exchange that they'd been calling a return to latching on to a courtesy fee and telling me that I failed. When I consider all of the drama they go through to get you to spend then cheat you out of the club it isn't hard keeping my spending with them down to zero from here on out. The children's jeans are not good quality and the t-shirts get linty and look old within the first few washes in comparison to other brands. Avoid! They aren't that great.

I have lost 2 packages after my Christmas shopping last year and AF was able to replaced the items they still had in stocks and refunded me the rest. This time I ordered some clothes in March and it says the package was delivered by Fedex on 26th but I still didn’t receive the package after a week. I contacted their customer service hotline and the staff told me that they will resend the clothes to me.
2 days later I received an email from Marina at Research & Resolution department and told me that my package can’t be refund or replaced as she reviewed my order history seeing me already had 2 packages refunded or replaced in the past. Now she is blocking me from all packages ship to residential address. This is crazy! I have been their customer since day one. I like their clothes so I really have hard time not to shop from there anymore. I’d love to file a complaint about this lady Marina if there is a way. Instead correcting their own mistake, all she did is blocking me from shopping. Real smart!

I've shopped in store before, in Trumbull before they closed up. Seems like they're losing customers already right? Well they just lost another one. I order online, waited until this coat came back in stock that I've waited for a while. (My size would keep going out of stock). When I placed my order, everything was going well until I received an email declaring my order was cancelled with no reason for cancellation. My items that I ordered - most are out of stock so I can't even replace an order.
Additionally, I can't even login to my old account. I'm utterly disgusted at how Abercrombie treats some of their customers, for no apparent reason (unless they are biased in what kind of customers they serve?). Disappointed. Lastly, their website is horrible to navigate. Every single time one of my items comes back in stock in my size that I really want to buy, I would put it in my cart. But when I go to process the order, it says "out of stock". Which makes zero sense considering I was able to add it to my cart to begin with. If I refresh the page and go back, you can still add the item to the cart. This needs to be fixed asap. Overall, you are better off shopping at Urban Outfitters or Madewell. They deserve zero stars for their incompetence in customer service and user experience within the website.

Ordered items. 12-15 received confirmation that items were ready to ship on 12-16. Called a couple times. They blamed post office. On 12-26 received another confirmation that items were ready for shipping. Only half of my order was there. This where Christmas gift. When I called back the only thing they Said, "We will get the rest of the order out to you." I asked what happened to the original shipping package. No answer.

I contacted Abercrombie twice through email regarding a return - both times my question was not answered at ALL. It felt like my email had not been read and I was sent a generic copy and paste response. I contacted them via chat twice. The first time, the rep didn't have the answer to my question then disconnected me. The second time they basically told me I would have to email my information in and wait. So I emailed again, and the rep did not answer my question which was VERY CLEARLY written in my email.
I returned a package using the label provided in the package - it was delayed because of USPS (not because I dropped it off 3 weeks late but because USPS took close to a month to deliver this product. I kid you not, I checked this tracking almost daily) and I contacted Abercrombie letting them know that my package was being delayed because I didn't want to have any issues with my return. They advised that I just wait and that there wouldn't be any issues - I waited close to a month. They finally received the return and processed my $150 return as a gift card when I requested for original method of payment. They told me they couldn't refund it as so because it was past the 30 day return window.
I didn't know that the shipping time of USPS, using the label they provided, would be factored into that because that's something I don't have any control over. Had I known the vendor they work with for their shipments would take close to a month to return the item, I would have gone into the store myself. When I contacted them explaining the situation - they basically told me that there was nothing they could do and offered me a 20% off promo code.

I purchased clothes for my grandchildren from Ambercrombie and Fitch as I always do, but this year will be the last year. The jeans I bought my grandchildren did not fit, so I sent them back with their return label on 08/21/20. The company received the return on 08/25/20, after many emails and phone calls and the worst customer service you could ever receive they still have not refunded my money back to my credit card. Just got off the phone with them again and maybe I will receive my refund next week.
I am done!!!! Never again will I purchase from them. We have other choices in this world, their product is not so great. They can steal from people. When they have the merchandise and I do not have my money back that is theft. So buyers beware. If the clothes don't fit and you return them the likelihood of you receiving your refund is not very likely. At this point I will have to pursue legal action to get my refund. My grandchildren never even tried them on. They were never taken out of the original plastic bags. My daughter also purchased jeans for them then called me told me to return the ones I bought because the kids couldn't fit in the ones she bought from them. So these were in the original package, never opened, never tried on. I am just out of my money because Ambercrombie and Fitch has not refunded my money but has the merchandise. I do not recommend purchasing anything from this company.

I purchased one hoodie and shirt on their website and it turns out to be too big. And I follow the exchange step and applied a exchange request in my account. Then they need me to drop the parcel at Canada post, that I need to pay CAD$21 for shipping this parcel back, customer service says we are responsible for the shipping cost which is great. Then they received my return parcel and cancelled my order! Oh my god, I don’t understand what’s happening and how it turns out that my order is being cancelled without my request. And it turns out that I didn’t get my order and paid 21 dollars shipping cost for trying on? Wow. Well good luck for your company. This is my last order with your guys.

Went to Abercrombie store to return merchandise with original receipt on Jan 19 '2020, did not get any receipt for my refund instead they wrote by hand on my purchase receipt that they were receiving my items. Still refund not credited to my account. Getting the same reply again and again that their payment team would look into the matter. I am being denied my refund for no fault of mine. Terrible service.

Terrible customer service. Worst experience ever. They do not know what they have in stock and allow you to make a purchase only to cancel it after a few days. Also their staff are rude and unhelpful. I have had my order cancelled twice for the same reason. Terrible store and employees.

I’ve been purchasing clothing and cologne from Abercrombie and Fitch for nearly a decades. I don’t think I’ll ever NOT shop with them. The quality is fantastic, and their style keeps evolving and I enjoy the changes they’ve made over the years. Recently I placed an online order (for like the 100th time), and unfortunately, someone decided to steal my package. I called their customer service and didn’t expect much from it, seeing as it wasn’t their fault someone else took my order and for all they knew, I could have just been trying to swindle them.. But I was so happily surprised that I had one of the most HELPFUL and FRIENDLY experiences I’ve ever had as far as dealing with a retailer's customer service goes.
Not only were they kind enough to resend a replacement order, they even express shipped it to me and were so understanding over the phone - it was truly impressive. My replacement package showed up today and I’m once again so happy with what I ordered I felt compelled to look into how I could somehow give them a 5 star rating and came across this site and signed up for the sole purpose of doing so for Abercrombie. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TURNING MY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE INTO A VERY AMAZING AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATED ONE! Like I said, I only plan on continuing my business with them. This reason alone is easily one of the biggest reasons!

A&F make nice quality clothing that is good value for the money. The target market tends to be a younger crowd and the selection is pretty standard. I would like to see them go back to more of their logo merchandise featuring the moose.

The clothing is very thin and must be layered to wear. For the price, I wouldn't expect that to ALWAYS be necessary. To me, it seems like most people just buy more of the same thing at the store for the layers. I only buy for my Granddaughter at this store but she loves it.

Although it is a treat to shop here for us, I really think the quality is exceptional. The styles are trendy and fun, and the service is exceptional. The sizes do suit me fine but I know some that there isn’t enough diversification for larger sized men and women.

I ordered a couple of items online for my son. As part of a routine review of my credit card statement I noticed there were three transactions from AnF. One was a $0 charge but the other two were for the online order charged against my card on two separate days. It took a long time to get a real person on the phone and they said they will refer the issue to the Billing Department but it could take 24-48 hours to resolve. They suggested that I dispute the charge with my credit card company but why wouldn't they be able to correct their mistake without me spending more time on the issue. Won't order online from them in the future.

After the first wash, The color of a newly bought t shirt got released and spread over different portions of it. Very bad quality and a big disappointment. The t shirt was tricolor and colors have overlapped one another. Will never ever recommend anybody. It's been more than 2 months since I bought it so can't even return it.

Like so many others, I made an online order of back to school items for my child. It was one of four stores from which I purchased. Received the goods from the other 3 stores within days. But AnF had this weird shipping process where you can't actually track the product. Like so many other people it said it was in my town for over 10 days. Like so many others when I called they kept telling me to wait another week. Like so many others that date came and went and still no package. Now I have to wait another week for a refund.
So many other stores value their customers. Don't waste your time or money on this one. It is going out of business, and had already closed 40 stores this year. And a quick look at the company’s Wikipedia site indicates this is a company that has made multiple racist and sexist statements using their clothing line - had I done my research beforehand I never would have attempted to give them my business.

Legitimate complaint w Attorney General's Office, ST. Louis PD, Bank of America: somehow, and, in some way a person in Lawrence, MA was able to high jack my ANF account, gain access to my debit card and go shopping. This person STOLE my teenage son's name as the consumer, used my debit card for payment, changed my email address so I wouldn't be notified, and lots of clothes went to the thief's address. Can't figure out how they got my password from ANF, who isn't revealing this information to me, the real consumer here!
I noticed unusual transactions on my debit card, immediately contacted my bank, went to police department, had FRAUD ALERTS placed on both my accounts and my teenage son's accounts, contacted Attorney General's Office and reached to ANF via phone on FB and Twitter. ANF was NASTY, UNPROFESSIONAL, PROTECTED THE THIEF instead of the real CONSUMERS - MY SON and ME! Refused to provide any details to me claiming 'I wasn't the consumer and they were protecting the consumer'. Received a letter from AGO with a copy of ANF's counsel Ms. Kelly **, Esq. claiming the same... ANF Customer Service wouldn't disclose to me, because they were protecting the consumer, all the while this person was using my son's name.
ANF protecting someone who stole my son's name, my bank account, high jacked my ANF account, and has the audacity to protect the thief! Please tell me, who is the consumer? My son, me or the thief? BTW. Prior to this event, we haven't shopped at ANF in years. Don't like their consumer philosophies and this substantiates my thoughts. I will NEVER shop with ANF again, they protect persons who steal other people's identity, then claim ignorance and refuse to discuss. I'm taking my consumer purchasing power to their competitors AND will blog and let customers know about their horrific treatment of consumers who are complaining of IDENTITY THEFT on their watch at every opportunity I can. ~V St. Louis, MO.

I'm loyal customers of A&Fitch products since 2016. Firstly, nothing problem occur and well done. Nowadays, whatever I did order from online store, they keep cancelling my orders and accusing me that I'm reselling their products.

Called and had an unhelpful experience with an incompetent rep named Sheena. Called back 20 minutes later, Sheena answered, and I asked to speak to a supervisor immediately. She persistently asked what the issue was before she could transfer me. I explained, after which she refused to transfer me to a supervisor and simply sat there and did anything she could to inconvenience me. Eventually I asked to simply speak to another customer service representative, which she also refused to do. Wasted a half hour of my time on two separate calls with Sheena. Not sure what someone like her is doing with a job let alone a job in customer service.

I bought 2 men’s shirts online, using another similar Abercrombie shirt as a size guide. Unfortunately, the newly purchased shirts ran much larger & were too big for the recipient. I immediately sealed the items back in the original A & F shipping bag, and affixed the enclosed USPS return shipping label to the bag. The next day (11/30/18) I hand delivered the return package to a regional Post Office, and received a USPS receipt and tracking #. A week later, when I realized I never received any refund or return confirmation from A & F, I started checking the USPS tracking #. Tracking showed that the USPS had delivered my package to a local FedEx facility - only a few miles from the post office - 4 days later! There was no further progress noted.
I contacted USPS for an update, and I was informed that the USPS shipment was considered “complete” by virtue of its delivery to FedEx! Moreover, the USPS did not have any FedEx tracking # for my pkg, so neither myself nor the USPS could trace it! I immediately contacted FedEx, and learned that (a) FedEx cannot trace any item it receives from another carrier, incl. USPS , and (b) FedEx requires a FedEx tracking # to find my package.
I then contacted A& F to report the “missing” return. An agent said the company does not issue refunds until I receive the merchandise, and suggested calling back in a week. Finally - a week later! - I was shocked (and relieved) to get a FedEx text message with tracking #. Daily text updates followed, indicating that my package would be delivered to A & F on 12/12/18. Unfortunately, it was NOT delivered on 12/12! Instead, I received a new text update saying there was NO estimated delivery date!!! I called FedEx, which offered no explanation for non-delivery but agreed to open an “investigation” into my missing package. I reported the problem to A & F (for a second time) and to PayPal.
A & F said customers must wait at least 21 days from the date of return (in my case the date of drop off, at the post office) to initiate a review. PayPal issued a Case # and will follow up with A & F. So, as of today, my package remains in limbo, and I am still awaiting a $61 refund. This is the first and last online purchase I will ever make from A & F. This company is not set up to properly handle returns and refunds. Had I anticipated this unfathomable return protocol (including the highly problematic tracking systems of USPS & FedEx), I would have driven 1/2 hour to a local A & F store and returned the shirts in person! Lesson learned.

I purchased (online) 2 x XL black men's T-shirts and 1 x XXL black men's T-shirt. I used their online size chart. What I received were 3 T-shirts that are hopelessly labelled for size. I find this Vietnamese made product to be inferior in quality, cust and sizing and the T-shirt have had to be discarded. It is too expensive to return them from Australia for a credit. I have been buying Lands' End black T-shirts, size XXL (USA) and have found them a little loose, hence my trial of the A&F XL - the XXL was purchased for insurance.
It is clear, were I to buy A&F T-shirts, I would need to order perhaps a 5XL or even a 6XL to get the right fit. That would not resolve the quality of material and cut issues. Clearly A&F have gone for minimal cost product and it certainly seems quite inferior and a waste of money to me. I was intending to purchase more of the A&F men's range but that will not be happening now. So, back to Lands' End (and others), although an Australian based company appears to be introducing an acceptable line this summer. I certainly hope so.

I would not recommend shopping online at Abercrombie unless you are certain that you want what you are ordering. The site claims to have "Simple Returns" but they are far from it. It ended up costing me $32 out of pocket to return a jacket that I ordered online. Under the product description, in the returns/exchanges category, it says "US only- a -$7 fee will be added for returns" but I'm from Canada and was charged the $7 anyways. Customer Service did not answer me when I asked them why. The online instructions indicated to use the return label included on my invoice, which I did. The next step was to bring it into a Canada Post office, which I did. Canada Post had to charge me $26 to send it because there was no return postage on the included return slip. I emailed customer service and explained that I was upset, and they said sorry, they are not responsible for the costs. Very unhelpful.

After reading all the reviews in this website, I thought it was only fair to write a comment about my personal experience with Abercrombie & Fitch. I live in North Carolina, and since I started buying clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch (Feb. 2018), I have never had an issue with the customer service, online purchasing experience, or the store in general. They have become my favorite store over Hollister and American Eagle.
Online Purchasing Experience: My closest store is 14.4 miles away, which means that most of the time I buy my clothes through the A&F app. Before I buy anything I carefully read the description, and compare myself to the models because they [A&F] always provide the model's height and the size of the piece of clothing they are wearing. I have only had to return 1 out of 7 items because sometimes their tops are a little too big for me, but that is literally the only reason. A&F have, in my opinion, the best quality and style for the price. When I have the need to return an item, I just have to drive to the store for 30 minutes and they would give me a full refund for the price of the item.
Delivery: When it comes to delivery punctuality, A&F has been one of the best so far. My orders always arrive 0-3 days earlier, but never late. In fact, I never choose fast delivery because I know that the items will arrive on time. Also, I wanted to mention that if a purchase is ever late, not only from Abercrombie and Fitch but from any online store, that would be the fault of the carrier, and not the company itself.
Customer service: The representatives at my store are the nicest. I have only had to speak to two people every time I visit, and almost always they have an answer for my questions. I don't have anything bad to say about them. In general, I think Abercrombie & Fitch has done some very bad marketing decisions in the past, but what I care about is the clothes and how they fit me, not the brand itself. I think A&F has the best quality/style of clothing for the price. End point: My experience with Abercrombie & Fitch has been great so far, and I don't think I will stop buying clothes from them.
