Ann Taylor

I really appreciate the convenience of shopping online and the quality of the clothing. I usually purchase sale or clearance items and I have never been disappointed. I love to shop but I don't the available funds that I had before I retired. Ann Taylor keeps me in the loop!

I love Ann Taylor Loft clothes. I love the timeless cuts, great colors, and high quality materials. In a time in which bulk has outweighed quality, I appreciate the perfection and detail in which each item is stitched.

I like the merchandising practices for women. Always nice products for women who work. The products are known for their quality and resale value later. Upbeat styles for women over 40 is very important.

I like the variety the store offers... clerks are very scarce; I can hardly ever find one, especially if I need assistance in the dressing room... prices are excellent and the quality of clothing is superb.. purchases I make last me for years.

I went to the Ann Taylor store in Rosedale Mall in St.Paul, Minnesota this morning. I needed to return a pair of shoes. When I walked in there were two clerks at the desk. I smiled at them and said hello. There was no response from them. I looked around a little, then proceeded to the desk to return my shoes. I stood there for a few seconds and neither one attempted to help me. Finally, I said hi to one and said, "I would like to return these shoes." One clerk took my shoes with a scowl on her face and did not return my greeting. She did not look at me and did not say anything. She continued to look down and had the meanest look on her face. I was shocked. She did my return and had nothing to say. I was so glad to get out of there and will never return to this store. These clerks need a refresher course on customer service! (I can describe this clerk if management would like).

I went to local store yesterday. I found a clothes I like, but the store did not have the size of mine, so I asked the store clerk to check whether they have it online. She checked and it is available online. So I asked her to buy it for me online. She placed the order. After leaving the store, while I was checking online about other clothes. I noticed that the store clerk did not put 50% off on my order (they have 50% as always, because their original price is always expensive). So I called the Ann Taylor and asked them to cancel my original order. However, I was told that I can not cancel my order within 24 hours after I ordered. I was suggested to call back the next day to cancel it. I asked what if the order was shipped the next day. She was saying it will not be so fast. Even though, I felt weird, but I accepted the fact. So I decided to order the clothes anyway on line anyway and call back to cancel the other order. I got confirmation email after I placed the order.

I placed two orders with Loft. One order included a pair of pants with a raveled hem. When I tried to return them, my only options were to pay $7.95 to ship, or find a store and return them there. After placing the second order, I noticed that the price of the items went down by 10% a few hours after placing the order. They refused to adjust the cost of my order. I will never order from them again.

Last week I went into Ann Taylor to purchase some holiday pants and a top. Unfortunately they did not have the red pants I wanted in a size 4. The assistant offered to ship me OVERNIGHT a size 6 petite. This was a Wednesday at lunchtime. Thursday, no pants, so I called Ann Taylor to complain. (Friday evening they arrived at 9pm.) When I called to complain about the item not being shipped overnight they said there was now a size 4 available online and to order that online overnight and they would waive the first pants size 6 shipping as it arrived late. Was told they would overnight the pants size 4 to me. That was last week and the pants still have not arrived. Today is Tuesday. Ann Taylor told me to fill out a complaint slip. I called again today and they said the pants size 4 shipped out on Monday night late. Don't order Ann Taylor online if you are in a hurry. They also do not compensate you for the inconvenience.!!!

After having to contact their international dept numerous times and being transferred with no response even after 10 mins, I am still trying to chase them down for a refund that Loft customer service confirmed they would process yet still have not after 3 months! They DO NOT pick up their phone after stating they will within 5 minutes. They DO NOT email you back after stating they will respond within 24 hrs. Absolutely appalling service! I even sent in a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and Ann Taylor/Loft does not even respond to them in time.

I just waited on phone for over 40 minutes to speak to a rep from Ann Taylor. I received an item today that is damaged. I need a prepaid return label. She refused to provide it, refused to transfer me to her supervisor, refused to transfer me to a fellow worker to help me. She refused to give me her employee #, initials, or name. Wants customer to pay for return of damaged merchandise. I will never order from them again. They deserve zero stars if possible.
