    Ordered a 3 carat total weight diamond bridal set (UC 0032964126564). Order cost $2702.95. On 11/22/23, FedEx called us and said they were delivering an empty package to our home. Belk had shipped this ring in a white padded bag as opposed to a box. The bag had gotten stuck in a piece of machinery, we still have the bag, and FedEx claims the contents was lost between Memphis and Pittsburgh. All of this was explained to Belk, but they still refuse to issue a refund or provide a replacement shipment of the ring.

    Every Belk representative says the dollar amount is above their authority and that it would have to go to “corporate” for a decision. I have called Belk every day since 11/23/23. This is horrific customer service. The only mistake we made was purchasing this ring from Belk. Belk's issue is with FedEx not with us as the customer but is punishing us as it appears they don’t want to provide a replacement or refund. Per FedEx - Belk has even filed not one, but two claims with FedEx, and still refuses to provide a re-shipment of the ring or a refund to us.

    It's 5 days before Christmas and my spouse and I are looking at this sweater for our son. After a Google search, it showed that Belk was the only site that carried a Small. We were about to place our order for the sweater, but we decided to read the reviews here. Out of almost 300 reviews, 91% of them are 1 starred which deterred us from purchasing. Belk is doing a terrible job in customer service. Thank you to all the reviews who helped us decide to NOT waste our time and money here. I hope they realize to fix their standards.

    I've placed several orders through Belk for Christmas. I have 3 boys and ordered shoes and clothes for all of them. They didn't deliver the Adidas. Which are sold out now.. They delivered Sperrys instead of Hey Dudes on the second order, and on the third they sent a boys' 7 in a smashed up torn box instead of men's 10.5 Hey Dudes. Now NONE of my children have shoes for Christmas. Not to mention several shirts and hoodies were either missing or wrong. I've ordered through Walmart for years and have never had this many problems. Out of 3 orders and over 20 items, in the last few weeks.. they got none of them right or complete. I will never order from them again. Saying I'm dissatisfied or disappointed is a gross understatement when you're a broke single mom just trying to provide basic necessities for your kids at Christmas... just unbelievable. Ruined holiday experience altogether.

    I ordered a 5x8 rug from Belk. It wasn't what I was hoping for and I wanted to return it. The online return center was easy but when I took the rug to Walgreens FedEx onsite center the manager would not allow me to return it. (She didn't want to fool with it.) I took it where Belk directed me to take it but the manager said they don't have to accept it. I called the Belk store and they will not let you return Marketplace merchandise at the store. They couldn't offer me any more suggestions.

    This Black Friday I ordered 4 apparel items. One $25 item was delivered to Virginia when the order placed was given my Florida address. I called Belk, they acknowledged mistake, but told me since they resourced the item to a marketplace vendor, there was nothing they could do. They recommended I call this marketplace vendor. I explained I purchased from Belk, why do I have to call the vendor? Unbelievable, they will not stand by their merchandise. Now they took my money, but failed to deliver items to me. Seems like stealing to me. I sent a email that has been ignored.

    My Mom had a stroke and I am having to take care of her. She had a Belk gift card and 10.00 birthday bucks. She wanted some flannel sheets. We finally found some but it was going to be 9.99 shipping for under 100.00, which is ridiculous compared to other sites. So we decided to look for Christmas gifts. We got a total of 102.00 but when we put in her 10.00 birthday bucks it wanted to charge us the shipping again so we took out everything but the sheets. I got her gift card and birthday bucks in and her Belk charge card but then it was having trouble processing it so I put my card in which it took but when I looked back it took her birthday bucks out so now she not only had to pay shipping but lost her 10.00. If we had known that we wouldn't have ordered anything. I will never deal with Belk again. There are plenty other places that want my business and will treat me right.

    When I received the bag it was of poor quality and obviously not worth the money. I tried to return to Belk and they informed me that Belk Marketplace purchases must be returned to the vendor. Vendor was RMBK Enterprises. I have not had 4 exchanges with them and still have not gotten return instructions for the item. It feels like a scam. Do not order from this company.

    I screenshot a Xmas tree that I really wanted, screenshot showed 50%off and with coupon it would cost 49.99. When I got to the Martinsville Belk Store, it rang up 129.99, I showed the clerk the screenshot and what it stated, so she called manager, he said it was a mistake and when someone seen it they fixed it. He refused to honor the proof I showed him. I traveled to the store for nothing and manager refused to honor what I screenshot off the Belk online page. This should have been honored so this was so unprofessional.

    I ordered a pair of supposedly Free People jeans from Belk. I seriously doubt they were truly Free People! I returned them exactly as directed and used their required shipping label. A week later I was notified of my “partial” refund. It was NOT the refund an email had notified me about and was less than half of the cost of the order. I have tried emailing and calling them and have gotten nowhere, including being hung up on. I am reporting them to the BBB today!

    For a long time I've been purchasing much of my clothing, shoes, and household items at Belk - frequently online. I always trusted them for good quality and fair return policy. But DO NOT TRUST online purchasing from Belk now. They now have "Marketplace Vendors". Their new vendor's merchandise is horrible quality and is nearly impossible to return and the cost of returning frequently exceeds the cost of the item!! VERY disappointed in Belk!!

    Warning!!! Make sure you look before you buy. Do not buy from Belk market place vendor. I had to return an item and was unable to take it to the Belk store for a refund....I had to pay for shipping which was more than the price I paid for the returned item. I just think if you order from Belk you should be able to have it refunded at Belk. Now I don't know how long it will be before I can get my money back..

    I Made a $312.** purchase (which consisted of several clothing items and 1 pair of shoes) at Belk store located in McDonough, Ga approximately 2 weeks ago. I returned one skirt and 1 pair of shoes with my receipt however I did not have my debit card because it had been misplaced. I was told that the money had to go back on the card and that they would have to give me a Gift Card. I later called the store number and asked to speak with SM however the associate that I spoke (as it turned out) was not the store manager and basically told me the same thing that the Clerk had told me. This is supposed to be Store Policy however it's not written on the receipt. If I have my receipt, I should be able to get a cash refund. That is so unacceptable.

    This was not the first time that I made a purchase from Belk, however, they have lost a customer. This tactic that is presenting as a Store Policy is a mere way to keep the money in the store. I dare you receive my money gracefully from my bank account and in the event I bring an item back with the receipt within a timely manner and you refuse to give me my money back. I view this as an unethical business practice. I tried calling corporate but not able to speak to anyone. Belk you need to be better! The love of money is the root of all evil!

    I am a new customer to Belk’s… I placed an order for Clinique makeup because they had a free gift promo. Received my order with no free gift… Called the customer service line and they informed me that the promotion was now over (wasn’t when I placed order) and that they had to file a case to management and will let me know. I’m very upset because the only reason I placed the order was for the free gift. Poor Customer Service had to call back twice because the first call I couldn’t understand a word the guy was saying. If they don’t send free gift I will more than likely cut up my new CC.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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?

They say can always reapply for another account but then I would take a hit on my credit score and say yes.

    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.

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.

    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?

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 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.

    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 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!!

    I tried to return a blouse purchased the day before. The Cashier acted as though I had stolen the blouse because I forgot to bring the tags. I had the receipt not the tags. The new policy for COVD19 is the tags have to be with the item. I did not know this. All she had to do was to know her job and this could have been an easy exchange. She had to act all crazy and just out right unprofessional. Waving her hands, raising her voice etc. Another customer was just standing there looking. I was totally frustrated. Thank God, I did not get mad. I kept my cool. Knowing I was in the right. I mean how many times do we try on garments and the silly tags pop off. At any rate, will return for FULL REFUND. Belk, please train your employees on how to act, and not make a big deal about simple stuff! I won't be back in the store any time soon!

    Return policy is poor. If you buy an item that requires sizing (clothing/footwear), you have to pay for the return if the item doesn't fit. This is the first company I have purchased from online that has that policy. I will never buy another item from this store. It's going to cost me about $7.50 for nothing.

    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 service at Belk's was certainly not up to their previous high standards.

    I placed an order for Skechers sneakers at a terrific price. The shoes were delivered on time. The first pair I opened was great. Fit well and felt comfortable. 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. Never did I expect to receive a pair of "used" shoes.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. I ordered a SAK purse from Belk. It was late, fine. But when I received it the jewelry that customarily hangs from the purse was missing. On May 22nd I sent an inquiry in about this missing piece to have it replaced. I heard nothing back. Today, June 11th, I reached out, waited 30 minutes to talk with someone and all they offered was a 15% discount. I told them either I get the signature piece or I would be willing to return it. After all, the purse is just a no name brand without the signature piece. And had the responded to the original inquiry, the return would not have seemed that long after the purchase (2-3 days after arrival). But they hung up on me. I would NOT spend my money there again.

    One of the worst customer service I’ve seen in a company in a long time. April 30 I ordered four pairs of leggings and it is now May 24 and still have not received my product. However you Took my money on 5-13. When I called to follow up on this I was told It is the post office's fault. Funny how you don’t take responsibility for your own business. I also noticed again you don’t carry a product I ordered and instead of updating your website or advising me you accepted my order. I am surprised you don’t update your website. I also ordered curtains on May 7. I ordered 12 panels of which you only delivered three panels.

    I’m not sure what you expected me to do with a half a window panel. I was not given the option or advise that you did not have the stock or to cancel the order. Instead you shipped me three panels out of 12 which were useless. Of course I had to go out and ship them back which I did on May 13 and still have not gotten my refund. When I called on May 12 I was told it would be 5 to 6 days so that was an untruth. It is now May 24 you have my money and I have no products.

    I ordered some clothing articles for my mother in law for Mother's Day. I ordered them with weeks to spare so they would arrive in time. I got an email a couple days later with a FedEx tracking number saying they were shipped. I waited a day and checked FedEx and tracking number could not be found. I waited a couple more days and tried again. Still not found. I got concerned and called Belk customer care. After waiting on hold for 1 hour and 22 minutes I got to speak to a person who indicated they were way behind and I would have to give it more time. I did just that but the status had not changed so I called again and was on hold for 1 hour and 31 minutes and had the same result as before. The 3rd time I called I was on hold for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Again they tried to brush me off with the same line but I would not accept it. Long story short they could not find what happened.

    I asked to just cancel the order but she informed me she could not do that and I would have to talk to a supervisor. Another 24 minutes on hold. Finally got to a supervisor and got the order cancelled. Now, in the time between calls I tried to find another way to escalate the issue. Opened 2 online problem tickets which were never answered. Found the Corporate Marketing Officer's Name, Jacob ** and sent him and email which was returned to me as "blocked".

    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.

    I am at the point that I this will start to affect my 773 point credit score next month, because I don’t know how much to pay. 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. This lack of customer service is not a response to the current situation; it is a lack of care on Belk’s part. In addition to Belk, I have placed orders during this situation with Kohl's, Gap, Old Navy, Talbots, Wal Mart, Target, and Sam’s. I haven’t had ANY problems with any of them.

    Beware of Belk! I have been a very loyal customer of Belk for many years. I have always paid my bill on time and had elite status with my credit card. I recently made a mistake with my online payment and paid it from an account that belonged to my deceased Mother. They charged me $39.00 late fee even though I paid the bill 3 days after when they notified me what had happened. It was a mistake and I am very sorry that I made it but instead of allowing me to explain they closed my account without even notifying me that they were doing this. I am deeply disappointed in Belk and never plan to shop there again.

    In a day and time when there is so much competition for business you would think that a long and loyal customer would not receive this kind of treatment. They have a lot of cheaply made products but at times I found good deals. Good deals aren’t worth this kind of treatment. I now know this is not the kind of place I want to spend my money.

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.

    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.

Belk should be ashamed to have such poor technology. Items listed in stock were not available when I went to the store.

    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.

    It is so amazing when you can walk into a store and feel as though you are surrounded by friends and family. Everyone is so loveable and kind. The departments in the store is very organize and you can find what you are looking for. The store restrooms are very clean. The clearance racks are amazing and awesome. Everyone have a happy face. Someone will approach you and ask you, "Do you need any assistance?" This shopping experience was amazing and I recommend Belks in Williamson NC.

I received a cancellation from the sandals because they were “out of stock”. I called Belk's customer service and ask them to substitute a different color for the same price. They flat out refused.

    I visited Belks at Pineville mall on 11/11/2019 to pick an order placed for the Charity Day event. I was asked for my license to locate my order. 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.

My mother went to purchase 45 worth of Jewelry both of us think we still had $100 plus dollar available balance. The Belk in-store credit card was declined. I called customer service and they said a letter was sent indicating due to my unsatisfactory with credit my balance was reduced to $160, leaving only $9.00 available balance. I was in a state of shock.

    Now, I know by reading these reviews that Synchrony Bank has completely monopolized the major retail stores: JC Penny, Belk, Stein Mart, Ebay, Amazon, Sleep number beds, and so forth. I am so hurt that this company is allowed to do over monopolized and make financial credit decisions on consumers behalf without their knowledge. That is very, very, very wrong. I smell a big fat class action lawsuit coming from consumers.

    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!!!

The white shorts were several sizes too large even though they were labeled a size 4. I returned the white pair to the Belk store near me. 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. If I had reordered them online, I would have had to pay a $6.95 shipping free since I didn't meet the free shipping limit. The salesclerk was very helpful and apologetic for the sizing issue.

I dropped it at a Fed Ex drop off location. Supposedly, even though I have all the documentation, they tell me they ONLY received 1 Item. One blouse would not take the size package listed above.

    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!

    I placed an order online on July 17. I received confirmation for the order and on July 18 received a notice that 3 of the 4 items had shipped with an expected delivery date of July 23. The next schedule of events is a little lengthy so please bear with me. July 19- left Fedex in Concord, NC and later that day was received at Fedex in Martinsburg, WV. No more tracking info until accepted at postal facility in Stephens City, VA on July 22. 2 hours later- "delivery exception, rerouted to correct delivery address". July 23 shipment info sent to US Postal service. July 23 left Fedex in Martinsburg, WV AGAIN!!! July 23 in transit to Postal Service in Front Royal, VA- which is 10 miles from my house and where any mail to me ships from to our small city post office. Good- right? NOOOOO!!!! At 2:42pm on July 23, there's a new tracking post- In transit to Greensboro, NC!!!

    So I called customer service at approx 6:30pm to see why my package was travelling all over 3 states and still couldn't get to me. (Oh- and might I add that the 4th item in my shipment shipped AFTER this package and got to me on July 20?) All customer service could tell me was that it was still scheduled for delivery that day and since the day wasn't over yet, they couldn't do anything. So my logical question was -Ok- 2 things. Is it coming from Fedex or the postal service since both were on the tracking info? They didn't know. Next, if it doesn't come July 23 (which at 630pm I was pretty sure it wouldn't) how do I go about finding out where it is and when it will arrive at my house? The answer I got was that they couldn't do anything until the carrier marked it as delivered and I did not get it.

    I wasn't asking for a refund or for them to reissue it- just to help me find out where it was but NOPE!! I asked to speak to a supervisor, was put on hold for SEVERAL minutes (I think she thought I would hang up but at that point that wasn't going to happen) and she basically told me the same thing that the customer service rep said. As I told her - not that she seemed to care- I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM AGAIN!!!!

    I've shopped at Belk since I was a child and have had a Belk Rewards card for many years. A couple of years ago, I decided to start paying all of my bills online to save paper and money needed for stamps. This has worked out great for me, and I always pay my bills on time, usually through auto payments. I don't shop at Belk every month, and I hadn't noticed that a year had gone by since I last shopped and paid a bill for Belk. But I bought something in May and again in June. Today, I was completely shocked to receive my July electronic bill saying that I was late on paying the June bill, and I was charged interest and a $25 late fee! But I never received a June bill! I checked through my spam and trash, and nothing was there. I receive emails from Belk several times a week announcing sales, so why didn't they send me a bill?

    I called and talked to a nice customer service representative, who explained that if you don't use your account for an extended time, they will stop sending electronic bills, So, in my case, I didn't get a bill until I was overdue. I didn't feel this was right -- how am I supposed to pay a bill if I don't receive it? Other companies don't do business this way. She put me on hold, then came back and said she would have the $25 fee waived, but there was nothing she could do to prevent this from happening again in the future, except I could launch a complaint, which I did to her on the phone, and I'm writing it here. She also said even if I used auto payments (which I do on many bills), there would be the same problem -- if the card isn't used for an extended period, it would affect the auto payments, so a card might not get paid automatically.

    There is a software glitch with this payment program, and someone in the IT department needs to address this issue. Customers should receive bills EVERY month when there is a payment due, whether or not the card has been used recently. I don't want to cancel my Belk card because I like our local store, and I like the coupons I receive online. But I did go ahead and cancel two other department store cards that I hardly ever use, thinking they might have the same policy. Just be careful with paperless billing...unless this issue is addressed on the software end, there will be many more people like me unhappily surprised that they are "late" on a bill they never received.

None were on sale, I do not really care about sales. I took them to the unmanned register and waited. And waited. And waited.

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.

    As we collected our things to find someone to pay, a lady said "Can I help you?" And I actually laughed. She rang us up and then another woman appeared to ring up the others, whom I assisted, we jokingly asked if I would get a commission. One of the suits was on a rack marked $49.99. Assuming the pants and jacket since half of the rack was these suits... The lady begrudgingly had to give us the price since the rack was marked incorrectly and she became more rude stating that "Those jackets are never that price". Like anyone would know?! The prices are never as marked in this store!!!

    The store is messy, the sales staff is rude and will not help, the shoes are crap, (shoe salespersons walk around you), the brands are cheap, made in China garbage, the credit card company is not worth dealing with...

Please send someone with authority to look it over and clean it up and make it the beautiful store it once was.

    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.

    Then, my credit card was temporarily put on hold by my bank. Called them up and they said that BELK.COM was trying to charge me SEVEN TIMES!!! But my bank won't let them go through and rejected them because of unauthorized activity! Crazy! My bank told me to deactivate my credit card and change to a new one because they worry that BELK will charge me as my details are already with them... which I did. I had to deactivate my credit card and get and pay for a new one. Because of you. I wish this shop will just stop scamming their customers and excuse themselves for technical errors or whatever excuse you find. Hope you stop charging people for something they have not ordered yet! You guys are the worst!

    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.

    Synchrony must hire the rudest and most unfriendly and uncaring customer service. They would not look further into the matter and just said to re-apply for a new card. This will most likely affect my credit score as well. I would stay away from cards that are backed by Synchrony Bank. I had worked my card up to Premier MasterCard rewards and had never since the card had been opened with a late payment, always on time or early.

    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.

    A few months later, I ordered a throw for Christmas for in-store pick-up. My fault that I missed the pick-up notice--it was in my Gmail "promotions" folder (which I rarely check). But the issue was that they charged me for it, despite a policy that customers aren't charged for merchandise they don't pick up. It took two painful months of repeated calls, chats, and emails to get a refund. They eventually admitted it was their error, but only after insisting that I was mistaken and being downright surly at times. I have been a lifetime customer, spent tens of thousands of dollars in that store, and they just lost me over a $38 throw. Go to Macy's!

    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!

    Also they never once apologized for the multiple errors or inconvenience (service reps or in store reps). Worst customer service I have experienced in a while! Lastly when I went online to leave a review on the product so that other customers didn't order it and have the same misfortune that I did, I submitted a review. Guess what? Belk refused to publish my review. Shame on you Belk!! You have lost a long time loyal customer. Buyers beware!!!

    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.

    I had asked that they pack it better as the reason it was breaking was it had no packing, nothing on it saying Fragile. I asked it be checked and signed off before left warehouse to make sure it was not leaving there like that. Nothing - kept showing up in a thin box with no packing around it. At the end of the day I am really disappointed as I did not want my MONEY back. I wanted the ITEM I ORDERED! I finally told them, "No more. Refund my money. I am done. This has been 4 times!" Just the lack of care in shipping and to even make it right with the customer is what is disappointing. We will see how hard now it is to get my money back as now I am told it has to be reviewed by supervisors and if I don't hear anything in a week to call back?!?! REALLY!!!

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?

    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?!

    The customer service person had no idea when I would receive a refund and was generally clueless about the entire situation. I had to be the one to inform the person that it plainly states that Belk does not take money from my account until the item actually ships, yet they took money from my account. Long story short, I did get the money back, but not before I waited 2 weeks. During the time this was all going on, I placed another order with Belk. 14 days. That’s how long I will wait for those items to arrive. Absolutely ridiculous. I'm done ordering from Belk.

    I saw that there were several reports of problems with orders from the Belk.com website, but thought the experience would be better if I ordered from the website and picked it up at the local Belk store. This saved both shipping and the time I would have spent hunting down the item in the store. At first, I thought this would be easy. I received a confirmation email; and later, the email that my purchase was ready for pickup. When I arrived at Belk, I asked the woman at customer service where to go. She thought the pickup desk was on the third floor, but when I said that most stores have pickup close to an entrance, she called and found that it was, indeed near one of the other entrances.

    I went to the designated spot, and there it was: a desk with a large sign that said Online Order Pickup but there was nobody there. I waited a while, and then sat on a nearby chair, prepared to snag any Belk associate who ventured near. It never happened. I finally called the store. The desk had no extension, so I tried calling a manager. No answer. I left a message to send someone to Online Pickup. Finally, I decided that the only option was find my purchase myself. I did find it on a shelf with other pickup items in an area in the back where I probably should not have been. I took the bag with my name on it and left the store. The next day, I received an email that my order had been picked up. I wonder how they thought that happened.

I ran through dryer again to remove wrinkles and they looked terribly wrinkled. I think these must be a "knock off " illegal item as I doubt Izod would jeopardize their logo with such crap. You need to investigate whether these are an illegal use of Izod label. I would like a prepaid return label for these three shirts and a refund of $53.01 including tax.

    My checking account has 2 pending charges against my available balance. 1 charge is for the entire order amount and 1 charge is for one item that shipped separately. I have a reference number I received from a customer service rep (**) in regards to this matter, but the additional charge (authorization) still remains. I need this matter cleared before any additional charges I'm expecting to clear my account come through. I can't wait 2-3 business days for the incorrect authorization to come off.

    I purchased several items in one order. The items came in too small. When I called to find out how to return they say to me you have to pay to send them back. Okay upset because who still makes the consumer pay for returns. I wanted to reorder one of the items. They raised the price from 49.99 to 130.00 within days because they were having a buy 2 get one free sale. Still does not equal to the 150 it would have cost to buy 3. My return has been with them now for 3 days. I call to see where my credit is. They tell me it will take up to 15 days for them to process my credit. WHAT?! Why? You make me pay to return then take 15 days to credit me. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN!!!

    I opened an account with them a while ago. I have always paid off my credit card early. Never making a late payment of any kind. They have closed my account. Said that I had too many credit cards open and due to something that happened years ago that they have made the decision to close my account. I can say that I will never spend another dime of my money in Belk's. Personally if they don't want someone to have a credit card then don't allow them to get one. Don't let them open an account and then close it without telling them.

    Last week Belk had an amazing sale on their Laredo and Dingo boots. I excitedly ordered many, many pair for myself and as gifts for others. The online experience was horrible because as I was trying to check out I kept getting messages that some items in my cart were no longer available. Knowing how amazing this sale was I wasn't surprised that things were selling out so fast so I was understanding and kept going through the process and updating my cart. After finally getting everything straight and assuring that all the items in my cart were still available, I finished the checkout process and got the email confirming my order. After a week of not receiving my packages I check online just to find that my order had been cancelled.

    I call customer service to find out the reason for the cancellation and was advised that the items were out of stock. If said items were out of stock then they shouldn't have been sold to me. I ordered 12 or 13 pair of shoes and EVERY SINGLE PAIR was out of stock?! Additionally, only after calling customer service did I receive emails advising me of the cancellation. Upon reading these reviews I see that several others had a similar experience and were given various different excuses than what I'd received. Extremely disappointed in Belk. I understand that losing my business will not affect them but if they continue to conduct business in this manner they will continue to lose customers. I will never purchase from Belk again.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that Belk has went out of their way to make this right! They are giving gift cards and percentages off the next order and so on! I have been a long time customer of Belk until the boot deal. After all they have done to make this right, I will be back shopping there again!!

    Thank You Belk!

    Belk put a sale on Laredo boots and dingo boots. I was on the site when the boots went on sale so I hurried and filled my cart full. A couple of pair I ordered was sold out so I immediately got an email after I place order and said they were out but I still had several pair that was being processed for delivery. A week went by so I call Belk. They tell me oh a shipping label has been created and I should receive my boots this week. I talked to several customer service on the days before and they all have had several stories as to why my boots were running late on shipping. Today I got cancelation notices on every pair I ordered. They said it was a system glitch and they could not sell those boots at that price! This isn’t the first time or the second time that this has happened. THEY DO NOT WANT TO HONOR THEIR PRICES!!!

    I placed a order for Laredo & Dingo boots they had on sale in a flash sale. Bought several pairs checked out and received confirmation of order on the 15th. I went online to check order and said cancelled. So I called customer service and was given 2 different excuses as why the order was cancelled. 1 They’re not available (they were when I ordered them). 2 It was a site error (yea maybe you disproved them). Then I was offered a $20 credit and 20% off next order (No thanks. Don't like how you do business) then asked to speak to supervisor. She said the vendor cancelled their order. Ok? Which one is it told her seems like your company just wanted a bunch of people’s information and credit card #s.

    She then said she would have a senior supervisor contact me within 24 hr. Waited no one called. I called back and was supposedly connected to senior supervisor which was extremely rude. He told me no one was getting their boots. All orders was cancelled. Asked to speak to his supervisor. He said I would have to call corporate & hung up on me. Didn't give me the number or anything. So called them still waiting for a response back. They had pulled all the boots offline but now they are starting to show back up at a lot higher price. They just don't want to honor their price. Will not ever order from here again.

    My first purchase with Belk horrible, they sent me two different sizes in shoes and told me I have to wait for 4 to 5 days to get a return label to return for a replacement or my money back. Their customer is rude and unprofessional. I would never recommend them to anyone. Buyer beware.

    It is super sad for me. I bought lots of useless Estée Lauder products so that I could buy 2 Estée Lauder boxes (60dollars). However, Belk sent me everything except my kits. What's worse, they did not provide prepaid label, so it meant I had to pay extra mailing postage to return these "Rubbishes". Now I do not dare return them, because they may not pay money back to me. They are neither responsible nor efficient. I will never buy anything from Belk.

    After having a Belk Rewards Card for several years and receiving statements in the mail every month Belk changed my account to paperless billing without asking or receiving confirmation that I had been notified of the this change. For the first time ever I was late on paying my balance because I count on receiving the statement to know when I have a balance. I do not use or make purchases on the Belk Rewards card every month and when you have no balance they do not send you a statement therefore I assumed I had no balance that month when I didn't receive a statement. I do not read all the emails because your email inbox is always bombarded with ads for sales and such but just happened to read one stating my account was past due. When I tried calling customer service to speak to someone all you get is an automated answering service that never allows you to request to speak to a person.

    To me this is very poor customer service. When I told the automated answering service that I wanted to cancel my Belk Rewards Card I was sure that a person would come on the line to inquire why. Nope. This was all done through an automated process as well. This speaks volumes about this company and how they feel about their customers. Since the company was taken over by Sycamore Partners Equity Firm, Belk is no longer a family friendly family run company. It's just another big corporation out to make as much money in as short a period of time as it can and then will probably be closing up the doors like Kmart, Roses, and JC Penney. I will take my business to Macy's or any other department store besides Belk from now on since I know just how Belk values their loyal customers.

    I will not purchase anything else online from Belk.com. I ordered 3 lady's tops, and paid $9.50 for shipping. In less than 45 minutes, I realized I had ordered the wrong size. I called immediately and was told by a Customer Service Manager that the order could NOT be changed, nor could it be canceled. So my order will arrived in the wrong size. It was an expensive lesson.

    Ordered a pair of $60 men's slippers online on 2/6. On 2/12, received an email saying they cancelled the order. These were to be part of a birthday present. Since we were on a cruise, I didn't get the email until we got back. I called Belk and cust serv said it was cancelled because they were out of stock. What? They appeared to be in stock when I placed the order, and it's still showing as available today. Doesn't make any sense! Belk needs to have a system in place that shows an item to be out of stock when you order it.

    Belk doesn't stock much of their on-line sale merchandise, so after visiting my local store I had to go home and order the $14.99 slippers on-line. Because Belk does not offer free ship-to-store, they charged me $9.50 shipping fee. FOUR DAYS LATER they shipped my order via FEDEX Smartpost. From a Belk store

    only 30 MILES AWAY! They used two carriers to cover 30 miles, took seven days and charged me $9.50 for their incompetence! I'll never shop BELK again!

    I still haven't received my refund over a month later. But they did charge my account twice by mistake. I've had two orders with them, and three problems. And, they can't cancel anything ever, so they say. Even an item that they couldn't find in any warehouse. I had to wait until THEY canceled it. Which is like two weeks later.

    I have been a Belk customer for a few years. The lack of online billing information is super concerning. When a purchase is made there is very little if any information regarding the item so it is very difficult for me, the consumer, to know what I am being charged for, etc. The same goes for returns. When I have made a payment, it is so difficult to know what is what. The only way to shop with Belk is to pay the balance in full and then wait to make sure the amount is applied properly, etc. Whoever is managing Belk needs a wake up call. It is a shame because their merchandise is great but all other aspects of Belk need revamping and change.

Yet you can order from Kohl's and get the item in one business day. Thanks for making people's Christmas suck! I now have no gift for my niece to open, and I am sure it will not make it here by Christmas at this point. Called yesterday and was on the line for 42 minutes. Never spoke to a manager and my item did not ship again on yesterday as promised. I used to do a great deal of business with Belk, but they have now lost my family's business for good!

    Belk had a Black Friday promotion, buy $35 from Belk.com and get an Estee Lauder Blockbuster package for $65. I made the order, it was confirmed. Then they shipped the $35 item and canceled the promotion package. I called and they give me no explanation. Basically they used the promotion to sell their items. Don't buy from Belk, you can't trust them.

    CS Reps are all misinformed. Can't get a manager on the line. On hold forever. Poorest customer service I have experienced in years. Signed up for "first time" email coupon code-24 hour wait in email. Called and asked if I were to make the purchase now as item was on sale, upon receipt of email coupon, could I call and have it applied after purchase. CSR said yes. This day and age, what company wouldn't do that for a customer? So naturally I believed him. Made the purchase. Eight hours later, got the email coupon. Called to have it applied. Told it can't be done. They actually recommended I return the purchase (at my expense) and repurchase with the coupon.

    Who operates like this today? What a farce. What a total backwards way of running a business. How difficult could it be to just apply the coupon? Anywhere you shop today, they take expired coupons, price match, price adjust after purchase (over the phone no less). I mean today's companies bend over backwards for their customers. This is not an unreasonable request. I will never shop with them again. They need to train their reps and prioritize the customers.
