I will buy my See's chocolates through AAdvantage to earn miles. They used to partner with See's and See's would send my chocolates with an ice pack and beautifully fresh. See's no longer partners with AAdvantage. So, I was directed to Belk through AAdvantage to purchase See's chocolates. Omg! I got my chocolates today and they look like they traveled through 50 states to get to me. They were thrown around in the boxes (3 boxes total) and I don't get how that happened. Some were melted and melted together. They all had white spots like they were old. And when I tried a few, they were rock hard. This is beyond pissing me off. $64 for what??? It's like chocolates from Halloween 3 years ago. It's not See's fault. It's not AAdvantage's fault. It's this crap company Belk. And after reading other reviews, I should not have ordered from Belk. Ugh.

My wife and I ordered Kitcheniva 10 piece Microfiber dish cloth from Belk Marketplace. $25.99 for 10 each dish cloths. First the item is extremely overpriced. The quality is terrible. The threads on the item picked and pulled out of the cloth on the first day. We contacted Belk and they said they would not do anything and we would have to contact the actual seller. We tried to do that but had no response. Only an email address was listed and no response... Now on the item it says no returns allowed. What a joke when you think Belk is a reputable company on the internet.

In tiny print beside your item it may say Marketplace. This means you are purchasing from a third party and if you need to return the item, you must deal directly with that seller and return shipping is not refunded. In my case it's Ever Pretty. They had only a voicemail but no one called after two days and then took 4 days of back and forth emails for me to get a RMA# which you have to have to send it back at your own expense. I bought from Belk.com because it had been easy in the past to return items to the store but this time I didn't catch that little glitch. When Amazon flooded the market, Walmart tried the same approach as Belk and it backfired terribly which is why you can now return all walmart.com items to a Walmart store. At least for me, Belk.com will lose my business. Not because they didn't disclose this issue but because it's no longer convenient to order from them when I can't return it to the store.

I placed an online order in December. I did not get all of my order. I figured it was because of the Christmas rush. I order three dresses in February and now it's March still haven't received my order yet! I called two weeks ago because when I checked my order status, it had been delivered to NY! I live in Tennessee! I have never lived in NY! They offered to resend it. I wanted those dresses so bad that I accepted their offer. Still waiting. I called today and it's the same old story, "We can resend them." I've had enough now! Just refund my money! Their customer service sucks. No one can tell you anything! I love the store but I really hate their online shopping. The website is hard to navigate also.

I ordered a ring from Belk for a little over $100. When it arrived it was an empty ring box. I contacted Belk through email so I would have a paper trail, but they stopped communicating with me. Customer service is a joke. They want me to file a claim with FedEx even though the package had not been tampered with...Belk just sent an empty ring box. Now I'm out the money. Do not order from Belk!!!

Placed a order online for 150.00 worth of clothing from Facebook (I know I should know better) and I am in Canada so had to pay in American funds, and was given a tracking number. Was really excited and waited patiently for my order and when it finally came it was a ring which I never ordered. I emailed them and they said my order was set to a different address and would I mind keeping the ring and they would give me 90% of my money back. I said no thank you and for them to send me a label and I would send the ring back to them and they can give me back all my money as the ad said 100% money back guaranteed. They emailed me again and said it would be a lot of trouble for them to get the ring back and would I mind keeping it and they would give me 60% of my money back. What the hell how about all my money back.
So I got a hold of them again and as it stands now they have put a request in and I will be refunded my money in the next 30 days. Why 30 days? You took the money out of my account that day why do I have to wait 30 days. I am almost certain that I have been scammed as I have got nothing back so far. Sorry for the long rant but I do feel a little better. I would not order online from this company if I were you.

If you order online w/ Belk, don't do their Belk Marketplace. They're trying to do what Amazon is doing and it's an epic fail. The Marketplace is stuff coming from anywhere in the country or world, in other words a third party that has nothing to do with Belk. If you have to return it, good luck. At least w/ Belk, you can take it to the store for refund which has been smooth for me. No problems. I ordered something from the Marketplace on their site over 2 weeks ago and the carrier is still waiting for a shipping label. I can honestly order the same item on Amazon and it would have been here by now. Pay attention to the Belk Marketplace though and forego buying anything from that when they run their continuance sales. It's so frustrating. I'm not sure why Belk would put a stain on their name by doing something so horrible to their customers.

Impossible to return an item. Bought $100 worthy of bras. Didn’t recognize my order # online. I called and they gave me a case#. Said they would send me a return label. Never got it. Had to call again. Aside they assigned me a new case #. They called me back about 4 weeks later from a # I didn’t recognize. They closed out my case because I didn’t answer two calls from an unknown #.

I first shopped at the store while on vacation and found items I really liked. When I got home, I decided to order some things online. I followed the instructions to return about half of it and never got my refund. An email to their customer service got no reply. The tracking number shows it was received by them.

I returned a handbag the day after receiving it in the original condition, packaging, tags, etc. Was quoted refund amount minus $9.95 return shipping fee. Received email in addition to quote stating my refund total after shipping fee of $9.95 which is the highest I have ever paid to return an item. Nope, they charged me $20.95 to ship it back!! Emailed, called customer service, told yes they see I was double charged, puts me on hold 10 minutes comes back and says they can't do anything for me that is the refund amount! NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE BELK!! WHAT A SCAM!!

I decided To treat myself and bought a $600 ring which was morganite and rose gold which happened to be on sale from $2k. I ordered the ring on November 18th. It was supposed to be shipped to me by November 22nd period. Today is December 27th and I still have not received my ring, or my refund. By the 22nd I was already calling inquiries because the FedEx tracker never updated. They kept saying delayed. On the tracker it said that someone had to be home to receive delivery. Perfect because I work from home.
I called Belk and spoke to a supervisor who said that I would not be able to file a claim until it was 15 days past which was December 5th period I happened to be going on vacation December 5th but I called that morning to start my claim. After my 3rd supervisor call, I was told that I needed to call FedEx and file a claim. Why would I need to file a claim for a product that I did not ship.
After my 3rd supervisor call, I was told that I needed to call fedex and file a claim. Why would I need to file a claim for a product that I did not ship. I want to head and file the claim anyway, for fedex to send me a letter saying that the original sender, which is Belk would be the one who had to send In a claim. I have been getting the run around from Belk since November 22nd about my product and my refund. All they keep telling me is they are processing it and due to the complexity of this it's going to take longer. $600 might not be much to some people but it's quite a bit in my household.

So, I ordered a ring November 29th for a Christmas present from Belk. It said FedEx would deliver December 3rd, no one was home and since it needed a signature they said they would try the next business day... By December 10th we started contacting fedex and belk. Fedex just informed us on December 16th they lost my package! I have opened a "case" with belk for over 2 weeks and they still don't call back or email! They keep saying they will either refund or replace.. Fedex said after 12 days of no delivery they put it as "lost." So, how can belk keep my money when I received no product!?

Ordered staff member a suit with 2 pairs of slacks. He gave me the sizes. I ordered on 11-11-22 and there apparently was a special sale going on. The slacks were priced at $61.25. The order came on 11-16-22 and staff member tried on the clothes, the coat, a 46 fit, but the slacks were too tight. He instructed me to please order 40 X 32 and return the 36 X 32 slacks. Their return page is not clear about how to exchange, after I got a return slip printed, I simply went to their site to reorder the 40 X 32 slacks, however, the price shown was $175 per pair.
I then called the customer service department to see what I was to do, I was told that because Belk's did not make a mistake on the size order, it was my mistake and I could not exchange at the previous price. So what cost me $122.50 on 11-11-22 was now going to cost $350 and they would not give any consideration. I know the customer is not always right, but I feel they have taken that notion to a new level. We have bought staff members clothes online there before, we won't now.

I ordered three shirts on April 15, 2022. One of the shirts I ordered was deleted from my order by Belk before I was able to complete check out? I guessed the one shirt I ordered, and really liked, was no longer available??? I ordered another shirt, added that to my order, and they said "Congratulations, you qualify for free shipping." I printed the screenshot for my records. The next morning I checked my order AND I checked if the deleted shirt was available in my size and it was? I contacted customer service and they said they could not do anything about it because "We fill orders FAST!" Three (3), yes THREE, days later I received an email that my order had been filled and I would receive my order Friday April 22nd by the end of the day via FedEx.
Friday April 22nd came and went. April 23rd I receive a message via text from FedEx that my package will be received by end of day Wednesday April 27th by end of day and that day has come and gone with no package? I contact Belk and they said they have no control once they ship the package and they do not know where it is. I contact FedEx and they said the status is pending and they will text me when they know something more? FedEx does not know if they have possession of the package yet? I looked at my credit card bill and learned that Belk ended up charging me a delivery fee of $10.95 even though my order was well over the $49 threshold which qualifies for free delivery? Conclusions?
I should have found and read all the complaints about Belk before ordering which is my fault. I contacted my credit card company (Chase) and they refunded my card charge and I will not pay Belk anything because they (1) over-billed me which is a Federal Offense, and (2) I was contacted in writing twice about delivery that never happened and now they do not know if or where they "package" is? Like most all of the other reviews, Belk SUCKS and you will PROBABLY have a very bad experience ordering anything online from this poorly run establishment. I will NEVER do business with them again, EVER! -Larry

Closed account because I didn’t use it enough. I’ve had an account since 2016. I didn’t use it a lot but I did use it. I do use it the other day and the account was closed. They say can always reapply for another account but then I would take a hit on my credit score and say yes. If it is not used after certain time it is closed no matter how long you’ve had the account. I think that’s very bad practice and they should at least notify you.

I bought two perfumes on Nov 26. One was shipped and delivered, while the other is still not here after 17 days of their email confirming shipment. When I contacted them today they said: oh, it is coming from a marketplace. I inquired about what it meant, and they said it is people selling products on our website. If you are working like ebay you better have rules and standards like them to ensure quality. I was referred to an unknown "marketplace" to inquire about my missing order, although it was them who sent the shipping confirmation email with an invalid tracking number! This was my first and last time dealing with them. Save your time and money and buy from a credible site that has clear rules.

I ordered two products online for curbside pick up and when I got my confirmation email for pick up it was at two different locations, which makes no sense. I called customer service and she had a difficult time even pulling up my order to begin with, she was doubting that I had even ordered the products I told her I ordered because she couldn’t find my invoice. Once she found it she told me that she couldn’t cancel it, I have the option to cancel it on my computer so I asked her if I should and if I would be refunded. She said to go ahead and cancel the order so I did and a message popped up saying that I needed to speak to a customer service representative because I could not cancel my order.
She then said that I couldn’t cancel my order after 15 minutes of ordering, I explain to her that it had only been eight minutes since I ordered it. Then she told me they actually changed the policy and now it’s within five minutes and then after five minutes you cannot cancel the order… Does this not sound like she’s making it up on the fly or what?
She told me to call the individual stores. I called the first store and the man answered and said that he could not help me with my problem and that I needed to call customer service, I explain to him that I had just gotten off the phone with customer service and he explained to me then that the store doesn’t even open until 10 AM and he only answered the phone because he thought it was executive calling. After begging him to help me he then transferred me to a manager and I was on hold for another five minutes before a voicemail came through and I didn’t even get to talk to anyone.
I then called the next-store and the lady told me again to call customer service and I explained how I had called several people before her. She was not much more helpful and said that they didn’t have the authority to transfer products between stores. She said that she could cancel the order and that I could go back online and re-order the product for the same location as the other product. She canceled my order and I had to go back online and order the product to be picked up at the same location as the other item. Long story short I don't understand how this simple fix could not be done and I had to waste my time talking to multiple different people.

I love Belk. My only complaint is the lack of registers open. I shop after work (6:30PM) and sometimes I walk around to every service station trying to find one open and there's a line. I purchased over $300 in merchandise and the cashier was not the least bit friendly or helpful. Because I was not able to try anything on with the dressing rooms still closed I returned several items two weeks later and that service person was super nice. Some are, some aren't. Unfortunately the store is old and desperately needs updating but being the 2nd to last store in that mall I doubt that's gonna happen.

I’ve had issues with my orders multiple times and they obviously have no interest in correcting anything because all I ever get is automated emails. Nothing is ever done about the problem.

I have been shopping with the Belk store of Lake City, SC for quite sometime. I was introduced to the Estee Lauder brand last year and have been in love ever since. I was using Aloette for about 4 years prior and lost contact with my rep. So upon mentioning that I was proactive about my skin care, I just felt swooped away! I get regular calls about sales and promotions and get asked about my satisfaction with my recent purchases when I make additional purchases. If there is ever a problem the staff always puts their best effort in correcting any issues and making sure they make it right.

When asked WHY do they continue to keep their dressing rooms closed, I got this response; "We are sorry for the inconvenience. Our dressing rooms are not open at the moment. Our goal is to provide the best shopping experience possible while keeping our customers and associates safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re closely following the evolving CDC, state and local guidelines, and continuously adjusting our operations accordingly."
My response to them was this; "This is the most lame response and excuse someone can give. I'm not sure what guidelines you're following, but the rest of this county and state are following the guidelines set by this state!" All other departments stores excluding yours and Walmart have their dressing rooms open and are not going against any CDC guidelines or laws. And they are also "protecting" and keeping their employees safe. This is just pure laziness and you really should be ashamed of yourselves for your actions, especially at the prices you charge in your stores. Macy's dressing rooms open. JCPENNEY dressing rooms open. Nordstrom rooms open. Neiman Marcus rooms open. Dillards rooms open. Bealls rooms open. But Belks remain closed because they think they are following some different CDC guidelines that others aren't. Do you think all these other departments stores are going against state regulations?
Come on!! Take your head out of the sand and stop making excuses. Join the rest of the world and keep up with the times. No wonder why your store is empty, people are taking their business elsewhere! I know that I won't be spending my money there anymore, and I will make sure I'll pass this response from you to everyone I know, including every social media outlet out there including youtube. I remain... All these companies that use the COVID-19 as an excuse for laziness should close their doors for good!

I have been a Belk Elite card holder for 20 years. I used to truly enjoy shopping with Belk...no more! Our local store in Knoxville, TN at West Town Mall has been steadily declining for the past couple of years in terms of product quality and availability. It's no wonder the company is in bankruptcy. I have had repeated issues with customer service including one individual in cosmetics that I have had problems with on more than one occasion. Unfortunately there are so few people working I have had to go to her to purchase product in that department and have been mistreated now 3 times. I made the store management aware, they have done nothing and do not care.
I spent an hour of wasted time relating the experience to a customer service representative in their corporate office who promised a call back and some action. That was a month ago and nothing has been done. I have inquired twice with no response. Our local store is understocked, looking like a bargain basement retailer, carpet is dirty, dressing rooms never available, (they actually have caution tape strung across them). No associates to help you or even take a payment. Belk is the local running joke as a retail store in our area.

I took back a sweater, blouse and pants after Christmas to exchange them. They would only allow $1.47 for blouse, $1.27 for sweater and $0.16 for the pants. Is this a scam?

Worst experience ever! Good price and fast shipping but meant nothing when I got my product and anti theft plastic piece was still attached. My only options since they were put off stock was to return it and get a refund or take it to another store and see if they could remove it for me.

I truly don’t see myself ordering anything else from Belk.com ever again. I spent Over $150.00 on one bottle of cologne, and they will not help me at all with any info on this order! They seem to be done with helping you, once they already have your money! I placed this order on December 9th, and received a confirmation that I’d have my order by Dec 15th. On Dec. 10th I got an email that it was shipped. On Dec. 13th I noticed it was in North Carolina. Here it is Dec. 22nd, I still haven’t received it, and (according to the FedEx delivery tracker) it still shows that it’s in the exact same spot in NC that it was in on the 13th. I called Belks, and they said give it a couple more days... So, I did.
I called back a couple days later, and they said for me to try calling FedEx. I called FedEx, and they asked if I was the shipper. I said No, and told them I was the receiver. They then told me that due to the way it was shipped they could only give certain updates to the shipper, so for me to have Belks give them a call to confirm details. Therefore, I called back again, told them what FedEx said, and requested that they call FedEx to find out what the issue is. The customer service rep that I spoke with told me that they don’t ever call FedEx, and that they can’t do anything about it at all anyways until after 15 business days have passed, so for me to call back if I still don’t have it by Dec. 29th! Why didn’t they just tell me that to begin with? What was the point of them having me call FedEx if they couldn’t even comply with the outcome, and call FedEx like they requested them to do?
This was supposed to be a Christmas present! I do understand that it’s Christmas time, and we are also in the middle of a pandemic. However, I’ve done all of my Christmas shopping online this year, and I have not had any problems with the shipping from anywhere else that I’ve ordered from. If I have, then the company has reached out to the carrier, and resolved the issue (themselves) quickly. The location that this Belk order is stuck in, is only 2 hours away from me. I even offered to drive there to pick it up myself, if they can just tell me the exact physical location it is at in NC. Belks won’t even put forth the effort to help me by calling FedEx to get the details, and ask exactly where it is stuck at in NC, so that I can go get it!
This is just awful customer service. They choose to just shrug it off, and tell their customers that they can’t help them, until after 15 business days have passed! Additionally, the employees that are handling the customer service phone calls are extremely rude, as well, and the supervisor wouldn’t even get on the phone to speak with me.

Call Customer Service to cancel an order I just made. You have 15 minutes to cancel an order after making it so I was on hold for 40 minutes and because of that, they could not cancel my order. Said it was past the 15 min mark but you had me on hold for 40 min. All I could do was laugh, it’s not the person I was talking to fault. It’s the way the system is set up.

I purchased 3 pair of palazzo pants and was happy with them until I saw that they contain Spandex, which I am allergic to (two pair were listed to be polyester, no mention of spandex--my bad on the 3rd pair). I called and was told I would receive an email label for the return. No email arrived. After about a week, I called again and was told I would receive the return label via email. I'm still waiting after several days. I wonder how many levels these transactions have to go through, or if this is just a way to put me off until I pay for the return myself. And then I can only hope I am reimbursed. My experience so far does make me wonder.

First of all, I must say that I love Belk. I was so very dissatisfied when I received my order. Found one of my products still had the plastic theft protection thingy attached. I mean come on, the whole point of ordering online was to avoid going to the store. I just so happened to order two of the same product, because I was in great need of its use. Thank goodness one of them was theft protection tag free. I was so disappointed when my $65+ Product was not wearable. I guess I won’t be shopping online with Belk for intimate wear anymore.

I am too livid to type a long review.
1. Items on their site are never as pictured. Always lower quality or look nothing lime it. First time, I got too busy to return the items and ended up having to absorb over $100 in stuff I did not want. Over a $240 bill and most things were disappointing.
2. Ordered again this time when I was desperate for some particular brand of clothes. A Google search brought me back to Belk. I was hesitant but decided to try Belk again as I was desperate.
3. Lace dresses looked like tablecloth when they arrived. Fabric textures and colors were off. The colors of many items didn't look the same.
4. Lots of bait and switch. The stuff I really wanted, I got messages that they were sold out after being available at the time I bought them.
5. Called to do a return on some shirts I ordered. Belk probably employs the lowest IQ people. 20 minutes later and with my order number, receipt, phone number, email, upc of items, they still could not find the order. I had to do the most work to help her find it. I had 2 other returns off a different order. The experience with her was so painful with this first order # that I was too exhausted to do any more with this rep. So I declined to do the others.
6. Finally, we got through it and the rep said a return label would be mailed to me in 15 mins. 2 hours later, still no label. So I called back. Now new person says return label takes 24 to 48 hours. It has been 3 days and still no return label. I searched for FedEx all over my inbox and nothing from them.
Belk is a despicable company and I will never order from them again.

I received my order from Belk and discovered that the Birkenstock Ebba ankle boots size 38 that were advertisers regular width were actually narrow width, as a result they did not fit. I decided to return those as well as a pair of blue jeans that did not fit. I called Belk on October 7th and was told that they could not process the order return, it had to go to corporate because the boots were too high of an amount $200 for them to process. I was told that corporate would contact me in three to five days. This process and conversation with Belk took an amazing 35 minutes.
It is now October 14th and I have never been contacted by corporate. I just called Belk again and now I am being told that corporate had closed the case although they never called me or emailed me I am now being told that I will receive two separate return slips one for the jeans and one for the pair of boots in two emails in three to five business days. This is ridiculous. They had no problem when I purchased the items, one the boots were misrepresented on the website and I have since found out that these boots are not even made in a regular width as was stated in their item information on their website. Hopefully I will get the emails to get the return labels to return these two items. I will not be ordering from this company again.

Customer service at Belk is awful. I placed an order on Sept. 22 and had it shipped to my daughter, but she still has not received it. I called customer service, what a joke. I can give them the order number, I can give them my daughter's name and the city and state where the order was shipped to. I can give them my email and address and credit card number and my phone number. But I can't remember the street name I had it sent to (it's my daughter's place of business) nor can I remember every digit of her phone number since I'm so used to just hitting one button to dial. Because I can't provide a street name, they refuse to tell me why she hasn't received the order.
I realize there are privacy concerns, but hello, I paid for the order. This is really screwed up when the person who paid for the order can't even get information about the order they paid for. When I told the supervisor that I had been a cardholder for 40 years, he said he didn't care. He even raised his voice at me. Wow, now that's customer service. I'm closing my account.

Belk is absolutely the worst site for online shopping that I have dealt with! My product never arrived, and has been lost by FedEx, but Belk still refuses to give me a refund! I called FedEx, and they admitted that they cannot track my package so I should consider it lost, and they told me to contact the shipper to get them to request a tracer and issue me with a refund, but Belk are refusing. Belk say that there is nothing they can do, and I have to be patient and continue to wait for the product - even though there is no sign of a scheduled delivery date for my product! The tracking just stopped at Indianapolis many days ago, and there is no further tracking information, and no delivery date! I live in California! The FedEx employer I spoke to was honest enough to say that this means the package has been lost in Indianapolis! But Belk refuses to acknowledge that, and refuse to send out a tracer and refund my money.
I also want to add that dealing with them was awful. Their online chat does not work. It shows an error message when you type a question, and no one comes online. Their email query doesn't work - no one responds to the email. The only way is to call them, and after waiting on the line forever, you get no help! I shop online with multiple different companies, and all the others I have dealt with are very customer service oriented, and are always able to help if something like this happens - and it's rare for something like this to occur. I've experienced it maybe twice before even though I do most of my shopping online, and each time, the company was able to reship the product by express shipping. But Belk don't care.
Also, their return policy is terrible. You have to pay shipping to return something if it's the wrong size, and pay shipping again to get a new one in the right size sent to you! I am never using them again, and will never recommend them. I will also publicly tell people to avoid Belk like the plague! Worst site and customer service EVER!!

My son & I came in to Belk, located in Hot Springs Ar. looking for wedding guest attire, We had some kind of idea of what to look for, but didn't know the sizes. I needed him to try some of the clothing on, but found he wasn't able to for the fitting rooms being closed. One gentleman I found told me that the rooms were closed & stated we could purchase what we needed & if we needed to bring something back, we could within the 72 hours. I asked if he could be measured because I didn't want to purchase & have to come back. Needless to say I wasn't very polite to Brian G. He handled the situation with respect & was very professional, but as I said, I wasn't a "proper southern woman".
I rang the store later to find out who he was to apologies to him & asked his name so that I may do this review. Brian graciously excepted my apology & even told me he'd help me learn how to tie my sons tie. (His father's never been around & his grandfather isn't here any longer for me to ask & no, I didn't tell him that. He just simply offered to show me.)

I placed 2 separate online orders during this pandemic. The first order contained a pair of ladies blue suede shoes and other items. All were literally tossed in.No a packing. Unwrapped and unboxed. The shoes appeared to have been worn and stained. They were not in a box nor protectively wrapped with anything nor was there a sales slip of any type denoting the items, prices, etc. The second order came packaged in the same haphazard manner. The order contained a $100 pair of men's Sperry boat shoes and an inexpensive toaster with no boxes and no protective covering. The $100 shoes were not even in a plastic bag. The manner in which they had been prepared for shipping (meaning both orders appeared to have been done by kindergarten kids). Both pairs of shoes had to be returned (ladies shoes because of the condition in which they arrived and the men's $100 Sperry shoes because they were too big).
Yesterday, (6/30/20) I drove 30 miles one way in an ATTEMPT to return them. The very nice sales person who was working the "customer service" little stand in the middle of the men's dept. was so embarrassed to have to tell me that they could not take back any shoes that were not in a box nor have a scan bar somewhere on the shoes and I would have to contact (actually said I would have to call belk.com). I have dealt with Belk's Westminster for years and have never had a problem with anything. I usually buy in store with credit card or cash and sometime on line with not an ounce of trouble, but this leaves such a bitter taste for Belk. I made several online purchases with Boscov's, Kohl's, and Macy's during this pandemic and everything arrive perfectly packaged and in good order. I had no problem returning anything to these stores.

The second pair I opened was not so great. The shoes had obviously been worn as the bottom of them was scuffed and marked and one shoe was stretched as if someone wore the shoe and it was too small.
I contacted the company and have not heard a word from them. They will not take returns of shoes but apparently someone returned these prior to the pandemic. And, in light of the pandemic, I refuse to wear a pair of shoes previously worn by another person. That is more disgusting than I could begin to describe on so many levels. So I ended up paying for 2 pairs of shoes and have only 1 pair that is wearable. As I said, the company has not responded in any way to my contact and I would recommend that everyone be careful what they purchase from this store.

I have been trying for over a month to straighten out a problem with you all. I placed an order before stores closed. I needed to return some of the items, but didn’t know how to do that, since the stores were closed. I contacted your customer service, and the guy with whom I spoke issued a shipping label. I boxed up the items and shipped them with the label you issued. When my credit card bill came, I had not received credit for the items totaling almost $900. I checked tracking, and the package was delivered.
On April 18, I spoke with Fatima in Customer Service. She said I would get a credit, but the return was for more than she was authorized to make, so she was sending it to “corporate,” and I should have a credit in 5-7 days. On April 27, I spoke with Rebecca. She told me the same thing, but that she was sending it to “corporate” as high priority. On May 6, I spoke with Dwayne. He didn’t have a clue. After placing me on hold to transfer me to a supervisor, he hung up on me, after I waited for an hour to speak with someone. In May 7, after being on hold for an hour, I lost connection.

Once this issue is taken care of, I plan to return the other items I’ve ordered since this incident, and I will be done with Belk after being a loyal customer for over 30 years.

Not paid for, processed, shipped, or the like but just is placed in electronic writing and they will not cancel anything. They will waste the resources to process, package, ship, and have the order returned instead so that they still make money off of the transaction (their error mind you).
I called my bank and they said that is simply not true, that the bank cannot cancel the transaction because it hasn't even been processed, only the company can do that once they even accept the order...which at this point ~1300 still had not been done. Unfortunately as their products seem legit and prices fair, this company is a little sideways in their practices. BEWARE.

Belk plays music way too loud. I get annoyed and anxious to leave the store. I find a few other retailers are doing this too. I am a music lover but not a fan of loud, POP music. I believe this is a trend among retailers, but may be backfiring. I know I simply must leave the store. Started maybe a year ago.

I can always find the clothes I need that will fit my size and style at great prices. The clothes suit the southern woman who is both conservative and feminine. The sales are fantastic and they notify you often so you never miss a sale. If you have their store credit card, you get extra perks. The store is huge and offers not only clothes for the entire family but cosmetics and home goods as well. Only e shopping is also available with store pickup to save on shipping. I always request Belk gift cards when my kids want to treat me.

I ordered lamps from Belk.com on 1/26/2020. When they arrived they were smaller than expected. Went back to their website to get a return label. First I couldn't sign on because they said my email was not in their system. This is the same email that they already sent confirmations to. I clicked the link to customer service only to have it returned because the link doesn't exist. Oh and if I do get access to a return lable they will not pay shipping costs unless they shipped the wrong item or it was broken in transit. Definitely not a customer friendly company.

I got a pair of Under Armour shoes from this place on December 2019. They sent the wrong style, wrong number, and they were fake shoes (you can tell for the inside of the shoe and the brown plain box). The policies on the website state that they will refund for shipping cost if they send the wrong item. I paid $25 in shipping to return their fake shoes back. I live in California and they don't have a store close by. The people in customer service said the company doesn't refund shipping cost even though it's on the return policies. How is this place still in business with the poor customer service/policies and selling counterfeit items???

I purchased online to pick up in the store and there were two women when I got there in the shoe department. One helping a customer with shoes and the other listening to music on her earphones. YES, her headphones. They kept me waiting then the girl who wasn't helping a customer said only the manager could help and she then went in back. She did not even acknowledge my presence when I walked in. I wait even longer, she finally comes back out to help me however, I realized I made a mistake and need to exchange one of the shirts. Once again the only lady that could help was with a shoe customer, I wait another ten minutes as they BOTH disappear. The manager comes back and boldly says I can make an exchange at any register. I then ask where in the store can I get the same exact shirt I was holding in my hand. She picked up the phone to call and ask and then very hastily said where I needed to go.
So I then proceed to the The Limited area of the store to exchange my shirt and find the closest register. I wait in line once again and the associate had some people waiting in front of me a bit to the side. She waved me to come forward with JUST two fingers while she was on the phone. I stood there in shock as the woman did NOT say a word OR look at me, she just used two fingers pulling forward VERY rapidly to show me to come to the counter. FINGERS over and over again. That was so disrespectful. Using her two fingers to wave with showing me to come forward and not even saying a word OR looking AT me. I am not a baby or a kid, yet a 45-year-old woman! WOW, I will never be shopping here ever again. Keep in mind this was a bad experience not with just one Associate BUT with ALL three.

Most of the time retailers provide a shipping label to return your merchandise for free or discounted. THEY DO NOT!! I had to pay $30 to return 5 items of clothing! And then they told me that because I lived in an area where there is no store I could have called and asked for a label, which is not indicated ANYWHERE on the website!! I had actually called customer service about my return and even though they were aware that I lived in Michigan, they never offered me that option. Even after explaining all of that they refused to pay my shipping! Unbelievable!! How can an online retailer not offer free or discounted returns these days??

Everything was available at my store except 1 item. I selected for that item to be shipped and all others to be picked up in store the next day. The next day I received an email stated that my order was being processed for shipping - the entire order! I contacted customer service and was told that there was nothing I could do as it was processed. I couldn't cancel because I only had 30 minutes after ordering to do so. I explained that the error was not mine but theirs and the helpful offer was to send me return labels to send the items back once I received them which would be in 4 to 7 business days (usually - expect delays due to the holiday).

I placed an order online on Cyber Monday. I went to place an order last night (Friday) and discovered that I did not have any available credit. This was confusing because I knew that I should have money remaining on the credit card. I spoke with two representatives last night and both times, I was disconnected. When I called back the 3rd time, they were closed. Neither representative knew what happened.
Today, which is Saturday, I spoke with one representative who was able to determine why it happened. Evidently, when you place an order online, they put a hold on the amount until the items have been shipped. Then it supposedly takes 24-48 hours to remove the hold. That's a problem when you, the customer, think that you have money available to spend and you don't. Therefore, I missed three items that are now out of stock. The last rep said that he was going to send it to corporate but it could take up to TEN Days for them to remove the hold. I told him that it was unacceptable, he HUNG up on me. That was not the first time. The 1st representative did the same thing. That is concerning and unacceptable. If you cannot deal with a customer who is unhappy, then get another job. But to hang up is disrespectful.
Furthermore, I was disconnected three times with the representatives from the Belk Credit Card (Synchrony Bank) before I was able to reach a person with Belk.com. It is Christmas time and people are shopping. How can you even think this is a great time to place a charge and a hold of the same amount on the credit card? Now, what am I supposed to do because the clothing that I was ordering is no longer available. But, it was last night when I hit PURCHASE and discovered that I did not have an available balance. Not happy at this time. Belk you have to do better especially during this time of year.

I waited patiently while the employer Bridgette looked for my items. She came back to me about 25 mins later and stated she could not find my items. I nicely asked for my license back, because I was afraid the employer would misplace them. I was on the phone, and told the person who I was talking to that this is pissing me off, because for some reason, they always lose my order.
After about ten more minutes, the employer gets on the phone and call a manager for assistance. She tells the manager that I was cursing at her and acting disorderly. I had not said anything to her and I just patiently waited for my items. I asked her why she tell her manager that because I been patiently waiting on my items. She said because I said I was getting pissed off. I asked her what I said to her and what curse word was said, and she could not say anything. I had a man and another woman who was waiting for items as well. They looked at me in disbelief and told me they could not believe she done that, because they did not hear me say anything to her.
I spent over 500 for charity day, and I am going to return every item! Other customers was present, and I am a women of the integrity. That was totally a defamation of character and I will not be treated like that. I spend a lot of money with Belks and people in other departments knows me personally and knows that isn't my character. I left the store manager a message, and no return call.

Not only did they send the wrong item, it took 3 very long phone calls with customer service to resolve the issue of getting a return label sent to me. The initial call to report that the wrong item was sent took nearly an hour just to create a return process. On top of that the phone representative said the correct item will be sent overnight and gave me a new order number for the exchange - only to discover that order number did not exist when I logged on to their website.
Five days later, it has not arrived, nor did a return label. Another long phone call to ask why a return label still has not yet been generated and sent to me via e-mail resulted in great frustration when told that the label is still being processed. This was the worst experience with any company I have ever had. The lack of attention to processing the order to the near impossible refund/return procedure is too agonizing to ever warrant a purchase with Belk. Never never make the mistake of shopping at Belk!!!

Since they did not have the white pair in a size 4 in stock, the salesclerk was extremely helpful and ordered another white pair and shipped them to me free.

I went to pick up a repair from the jewelry counter the Belk in Bristol Tn last week. The counter was a mess, the floor was a mess and there was junk everywhere and the displays were a jumbled mess! The lady I usually deal with was off that week according to the new manager of the department and that this chihuahua was mad at her. She went on and on about how awful this lady was and that she didn't need her help. All she could talk about was how the previous manager who I also know Sandra wasn't smart enough to run a department right, and a nice lady she was making fights with and she was going on some trip that another customer was paying for and that Belk better let her go and how this lady Pat was always buying her expensive bags, trips, etc.
When I tried to tell her I would just like to get me repair she proceeded to run this girl into the ground. I found it so unprofessional and unappealing that I simply left afterwards. I cannot believe they would let a manager talk about another employee so badly and since she is the manager of jewelry why she didn't know how to ring up a repair keep her trap shut and simply do as I asked without all the horn blowing! I made the mistake of asking why she was so unhappy. She proceeded to throw her manager Racheal under the bus saying she was getting no support, that her new store manager was an idiot and that when they had hired her they never told her they were making her a manager and that since she had gotten there, every one was quitting.
I have never met anyone so disrespectful so unprofessional and so gossipy in my life! The lady I deal with usually is such a sweetheart, has gone out of her way on more than one occasion for me and has ALWAYS gone above and beyond for me. I had to come back out the next week because MS GOSSIP had rung up my purchase incorrectly, and who do I see? My favorite lady Rita with a smile and being her usual helpful self. I mentioned to her what had happened and how concerned I was about the experience and behavior of her manager and she apologized to me! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? This lady was nothing but nice, wouldn't say a mean thing about this chihuahua and then apologized to me for it!
All I can say is this lady has more class in her little finger than that little chihuahua. Sadly the one person who knows more does more and is more all around a nice person and knows how to treat a customer will probably be run out of there. All I know is I will not be shopping at Belk when I see that chihuahua, she is a bad representative for Belk and should not be in charge of anything! She is just a gossip and pretty stupid if you ask me.
The state of jewelry is not improved. It looks terrible and messy Sandra always did a nice job IMHO of keeping that counter organized and Rita has always ALWAYS given the best customer service and help even if it wasn't her department. If this is an indication of where Belk is headed I can understand why good people are leaving and what's left behind is flea market leftovers.
Shame on Belk for not having vetted their people better. It also should be a problem for Belk to have this woman Nina running her mouth and downgrading everyone from her own crew to her bosses. The only person she had anything nice to say about was Pat who is a customer who buys her things. Most companies do not allow their employees to accept gifts or tips from customers for good reasons. However, not Belk! Also, my receipt and my things I bought smelled of smoke from Nina touching them. This made me sick to my stomach on the way home smelling that in the back seat. I had to return those items because I couldn't stand that smell!
