Belk

Went to the Men's dept to buy a few clothes. There were two young clerks in the dept. They were not helping anyone, but I am used to poor service at malls. A woman walking through actually directed me. The merchandise was all over the racks and on the floor, but I found a few pants and shirts I wanted. None were on sale, I do not really care about sales. I took them to the unmanned register and waited. And waited. And waited. I thought the clerks might be helping others, so I did not expect fast, but no one ever showed up. There were a number of other customers trying to make purchases. I finally dropped everything on a rack and left, telling the woman on the way out that it is very difficult to buy something at Belk's. After twenty five years of their big drama checkout routines, and the new garage sale decor, I am done with them. Life is too short.

Very sad at the loss of our once Southern classic store. This store is now dreadful. We went in today to buy two summer suits, some updated ties, and several dress shirts for my husband. The dress shirts and ties were wadded, thrown, in the floor, upside down and hanging from the tables... Who wants to dig through a garage sale stack to pay retail for a Ralph Lauren shirt? It was so bad that I started cleaning up myself! I pulled two suits, several shirts and ties and placed them on the counter. I helped my husband select 3 or 4 different outfits. Another gentleman approached us and asked me for help for items for a wedding!!!! Then a lady asked me to help her with a graduation outfit for her son! At no time, did any of us see an employee.

Previously Belk.com was a very decent place to shop however of late that is no longer the case. Recent order placed online totaling $230.59 was just sitting and not processing and had sent numerous e-mails and online web site contact forms which were totally ignored so after calling was told BELK.com uses the useless inept lame order screening process which CANCELS orders for no valid reason. Another business that apparently does not want any future business or does not need any future business either. Go elsewhere to shop and do not bother with BELK.com who could care less if a customer gets online orders processed in a timely manner and fashion. G. 04/09/2019 @ 7:07 PM EDT

Belk has always been my favorite store. No matter the location everyone is always so cheerful and helpful and the selection is always so great and of wide variety. My size is an 11 in pants and a LG in tops and I always find something in my size that looks great and I ALWAYS save tons of money. I even order online some and have never had to send a thing back it came on time and was just as advertised. Belk has constant sales and other opportunities to save money. I buy more than clothes at BELK and never have I had a problem. I am so glad I have 2 nearby! This day and time it is hard to find decent clothing that fits my personality and my budget and Belk never ceases to amaze me!

My review is not about a bad experience. It is about the appearance of the store itself in Albany, GA. I don't know what's happened and I don't know if all Belk's stores are like the way this one has become. This was once a beautiful, classy store and now it looks like a drab flea market. Clothes are all jammed up and it gives the appearance of another discount clothing store or flea market with much higher prices. Please send someone with authority to look it over and clean it up and make it the beautiful store it once was.

I signed up for a credit card, the day after I opened the account a bill was issued; I didn't have a credit card or statement yet but already a late fee. One day after opening an account! No 30 days of credit between a charge and a due account...only 1 day! Do not open a credit card with Belk.

Want to pay more than you actually owe? Due to the hassle packed & highly disorganized, frequently unable to find answers & especially new card holder payment online "payment services" (which are outsourced, to a 3rd party). You practically need a graduate degree in Research & Finance to have the patience it requires. I'm SO glad it's paid off and I can now shred this card- never to use again!

I am about to check out just as I finished stacking up my order, before I clicked place order (step 1 before billing) my credit card company prompted via SMS that I was charged with $108, the cost of all the products. Btw, my payment method was saved in their account. Since there was no confirmation by Belk, I thought it was just a glitch so I tried clicking "place order" again, then I was sent with an SMS AGAIN. Checked my order history, no orders whatsoever. I contacted them and told me that there's nothing to worry about because payment will not go through unless they ship my order.

I have been using Estee Lauder products for many years and would like to try samples of some of the newer moisturizers, eye creams, and primers. I have visited the cosmetic counter at the Belks in Bristol, TN at the Pinnacle and have asked several times on several occasions for samples to try, and was told they no longer give out samples and they were only available to purchase. I am very dissatisfied with their rudeness and unwillingness to help you with their products. May have to switch dept stores or switch makeup brands...

I was unable to login my Belk Premier Account through Synchrony Bank and was told there was a technical problem with my account. I called and was told my account had been closed and was told it was reported lost. Later I was told it was reported as fraudulent by me 3 days ago and I made no such call. They also added under a fraud close a new card could not be issued. They would not tell me if I would still be qualified for the 10% off groceries and gas they were running as a promotion for 3 months and I had used the card more frequently specifically for that reason.

Belk.com customer service stinks!!! Very inexperienced! Very non-professional!!! Very horrible!!! Representative keep placing me on hold and still did not resolve my issue!!! Hope I never have to deal with them again!!!

This was my first and last shopping on Belk.com. I ordered a product 5 quantity, total for 30$ and paid $8.95 for shipping. Till here all good. After few days received an email that 4 quantities will be canceled and one will be shipped for 6$ and still charged $8.95 shipping charges. Really... Who pays 9$ shipping for 6$ item? I called customer service and they said, "This order can’t be canceled and return the item once received." "What about my shipping charges and returned shipping charges?" There is no answer for that. They are just cheating the people. They are worst than eBay where you buy from various sellers, still eBay guarantees. The customer service staff is completely rude.

My husband and I shopped at the East Dale Mall location in Montgomery, Alabama on 12/14/2018 in the Men's Clothing Department. Tarence was our Associate that assisted us. He did everything he could to make sure we had a great experience. We left there feeling appreciated, satisfied, and welcomed with wanting to give Tarence a shout out. Let him know we said Thank You and Great Job!! :)

After two bad experiences shopping on Belk.com, I am officially no longer a Belk customer. First, I ordered a fancy laundry hamper about 6 months ago. It took a few weeks to arrive, thrown into a too-large box with no packaging, dirty and broken. I took it to the store where they were so amazed by its condition that a little group of employees gathered around to see. Nevertheless, they insisted that I ship it back at my own expense. No apologies, very unfriendly about the whole thing.

I order a product from Belk.com and they sent me a similar but different product. The first time this happened I returned the item to a store because they want you to pay shipping to return by mail (even though it was their mistake). I reordered the item online and was again sent the same wrong item. I called their customer service back twice (first time got disconnected and rep never attempted to call me back even though she took down my contact info at beginning of call). I held for 40 minutes when I called back only to get an incompetent employee who could not help me at all or advise me what to do. He told me to give them 5 business days to research the matter and they would be back in touch with me. Guess what? They never got back in touch with me!

I ordered my elderly father-in-law a shirt for Christmas - placing the order on December 15th. I received an email on the 20th saying the shirt was on its way then I got another email saying the order was delayed until December 28th. I contacted Belk and asked them to cancel the order. They claimed that the delay was not a back order but was a shipping delay but refused to explain what that meant. (Two weeks to ship?) I had another shirt on Amazon delivered for Christmas and the Belk shirt just showed up. I am not asking my elderly relative to return this shirt so I guess I will fight them on my credit card now.

Belk closed my Mom's card (customer for 15 years) due to not enough activity. She spends over $1000 or greater there a year and had a credit limit of $2500. They told her to fill out another application - she did and got a $300 limit. They told her she didn't have enough Credit Card experience. She is 78 and has plenty of experience with Belk and with other creditors. She closed her account for good and will be going to Dillard’s.

I ordered an item that I was excited to have on my coffee bar for Christmas, I had bought some other matching piece that came fine but this one item kept coming broken. Every time I would call the minute I opened it and all Belk would do would send me a new one. That was fine after the first time but by the 4th time it was a little ridiculous! Not once were they sorry for the inconvenience. No refund of my money - nothing - just want to keep shipping me the same item.

Belk use to be my enjoyable place to shop. Now with the dishonesty with the coupons I will no longer be a fan and will warn anyone and every one of their dishonesty. For at least the last year Belk has not honored their coupons. Not one coupon has been honored that I have tried to use. I picked an item with a "Bonus Buy" sign so my coupons are worthless. Who does not shop for Bonus Buys! That is what we do...and then plan our expenses making sure we have the coupons to help. Quit sending out the worthless coupons if they cannot be used on over 99% of the items you sell. Save the trees... You are wasting them!

I am disappointed to find that you have to spend at least $75 dollars to redeem one $15 Belk buck. Belk needs to follow example of other retailers. If you earn them, you can spend them wherever you want as long as it in the time frame. So if you spend $300 dollars you may receive $60 in Belk bucks but have to spend another $300 to redeem them, ridiculous and worthless.

The Belk Rewards program is pretty worthless. It takes 1000 points to even earn a reward which is in the form of a coupon. So even though you receive $15 in "Belk Bucks", you have to spend $75 for the coupon to apply. It's the worst rewards program of any I have used. The Belk Rewards card is also a MasterCard that can be used anywhere, but why would anyone use it when other cards actually give you cash back for points? My advice is to use a different card and skip Belk.

I purchased a Micheal Kors handbag on 11/14/18, 3 in stock at time of purchase. It has been 7 days and now Belk claims it is on backorder. They claim there is a 10-day wait on all back ordered purchases (per policy), which isn't found in the Belk online policy. Problem is you (the consumer) don't know it's back ordered until after you purchase an "in stock" item that Belk happens not to have. The Belk customer service number is a 3rd party "unaffiliated" organization. They make up policies that don't exist and argue with the consumer. People shouldn't have to deal with this mess at Christmas. After speaking to a "Manager" I was given a claim number for immediate cancellation. This "immediate" cancellation takes 48-72 hrs? Absolutely, nothing they claim makes any logical sense.

I met Valeria on my first-time walk into the store, she has an amazing personality. She was very helpful to choose the right product for me. She is also a great makeup artist. She has done an amazing job.

I ordered from Belk.com for the very first time about 2 weeks ago. I ordered an expensive (over $120) pair of boots. I waited and waited for just the order confirmation, which eventually did arrive a couple of days later. I waited for the shipping confirmation, which never came. What did arrive in my email, a full week later, was a notice that my order had been cancelled. No explanation, no timeline for when I could expect my money to be refunded, just a number for me to call with questions. Oh, yes I did call that number! I was told that the boots were out of stock...then why was I allowed to pay for them?!

I ordered 3 pairs of Rampage Booties one in each color. I wear an 8 1/2 so that what I ordered. I received the shoes only to find they don't fit...because the website says easy return & exchange. I called to exchange. But what it doesn't say is you can't exchange online purchases...wait what! How ridiculous is that. Then they tell you you have to pay to ship it back... Again not something mentioned on the website.

I placed my order on a Monday, received email stating order was in progress. Next day no email regarding shipping so I just sent an email asking how long it takes to ship? 24 hours later no response to email so I call customer service asking if they could tell me when my order will ship? She responds with, "Sorry I don't know for sure but should be today???" Next day still no email response or notice of shipment. Call customer service again, they still cannot tell me when my order will ship, apparently they have no communication with the warehouse? Frustrated I ask for them to "Cancel my order since you cannot tell me when it will go out." Can't cancel either, you have a 15 minute window after order is placed to cancel??

Tried to order a pair of pants for store pick-up. They took the order then canceled it unilaterally. Tried to call them and they placed another order in the wrong color. Called them back and they said that they couldn't just change the order - so they needed a new order and would overnight it to me. Nothing! No confirmations and no package. Belk has done this to me before. That is, they take orders for things they don't have. They don't call you to explain why, give you options or otherwise assist. You are SCREWED!!! My advice is to stay away from Belk period. Saw they went out of business at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta probably with good reason. Would give them negative stars if possible. Worst customer service EVER!!!

I had automatic payments set up and they were paid monthly. I also made bi-weekly payments online as I wanted to pay the balance off quickly. They run your credit multiple times even when your account is in good standing and you have available credit. This makes no sense to me! They lower your credit limit without notice (after the fact is not acceptable notice). Then unbeknownst to me after my account was at a zero balance they closed the account. This lowered my credit score 20+ points. I have tried to get answers and the customer service is rude and unprofessional. The response was that they have a right to check my credit anytime as long as the account is open and that “you should read your credit contract”. I do not recommend this credit company or Belk store credit to anyone if you want to keep your credit in good standing.

I recently lost my husband. I returned some items to Belk for a refund and received a credit on my card. Two months later instead of leaving the credit on my card they sent a refund check in my late husband's name. They are refusing to reissue the check in my name and/or reinstate the credit. The argument is that even though my name is on the account he was the primary. After talking to 3 different people, one a supervisor, the issue is unresolved. In the end I told them I would shred the check, to close the account, do not open a new account in my name, as I no longer wish to do business with them.

I ordered 3 times from Belk. The first time, I got a color variation of what I ordered. Not the correct color but the correct item. I returned it. The second time, I got another variation of what I ordered. Not correct but similar. Returned it. The third time, I must have received someone else’s previously returned merchandise. It was a white shirt with either chocolate splatter or blood splatter on the front of the shirt. There was another greenish stain that someone had tried to blot out. It was faded but the fabric was stiff and bumpy over the greenish stain. What’s wrong with these people? Does Belk just not care about their reputation?
