    One of the worst retail experiences I’ve ever had. I placed an order, and a week later, it still hadn’t shipped. When I contacted customer service, they admitted they had no idea when it would ship—or even suggested it “might have shipped” but without a tracking number. I explained I’d be out of town, and their response was essentially that there was nothing they could do. The lack of care and professionalism was shocking. In this day and age, it’s unbelievable for a retailer to have zero visibility into their shipping process. Completely unacceptable.

    I bought two suits at Dillard's in Louisville CO. The sales guy did a poor job matching my style. He wanted to impose his style on me. The alteration service was doing a poor job. One leg was over an inch longer than the other, amongst other things. He blamed his colleague, very unprofessional. The second suit was the same style, just different color, but did not fit at all. I returned it thanks to poor service and a terrible sales person. The same guy belittled my son a few months earlier, when buying a suit. It was more important for him to chat with his buddy and providing the service we needed. We ultimately purchased his suit at Macy's. Today, they brought a voucher on shoes, the brand I purchased 2 pairs a week ago. They would not honor that. Except for exclusive brands like Cremieux, I will spend my money at Macys and Nordstrom going forward.

    I have always enjoyed the selection at Dillard’s but now that I’ve experienced how bad the customer service is, it’s not worth it. Terrible customer service overall. Their policy about price adjustments is absurd- they don’t offer price adjustments and the time limit/expectations for a return are unreasonable. I’ll be surprised if Dillard's makes it as a long standing company. They care more about archaic policies than their customers.

    I recently purchased several perfumes through Dillard’s online store, expecting the same level of service I usually receive when shopping in person. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. One of the reasons I often shop at department stores is the added value of receiving fragrance samples, which allows me to try out new scents before committing to a full bottle. This time, despite spending a significant amount, not a single sample was included in my order.

    It feels like a missed opportunity for both the customer and the store—samples help us discover new favorites and often lead to future purchases. I expected better from Dillard’s, especially given its reputation for customer care. I hope the company reconsiders this practice for online orders, as it leaves loyal customers like me feeling undervalued.

    This is the store where Nobody Cares!! It is shameful that a store that carries high end merchandise doesn't give a hoot about its customers and their experience. About 3 weeks ago I purchased a bathing suit and wrap for approx $100. Then on Aug 1st I purchased another $250 (order # **). I received this order 2 days ago only to find the bathing suit that I just received actually dropped significantly in price that same day. The other items I bought a few weeks ago also dropped in price. I called hoping for a price adjustment and the man said Dillard's doesn't do that. I also read that on your return policy. He said you have to return everything and repurchase it..and you are charged 9.95 to return it.

    Yesterday I returned all of the items except the bathing suit bottom (because I had already taken the tags off) and one dress I received Mon. Today...to pour salt on the wound...the one dress I kept is now $40 cheaper and I just received it 2 days ago. I am fed up with Dillard's policy of Not caring about a customer's experience and have initiated the return of the one dress I was going to keep. I know it will cost me another 9.95 to return but this is the final straw for me. Your policy is awful. It's shameful. It's Horrible customer service and I will NEVER buy anything form you again!!!

    Think twice before ordering online from Dillard's. I do not live near one but I placed an online order since they had the shoes I wanted. I paid $10 shipping to recieve them. Well, the shoes ran big and it didn't state that so I had to pay $10 to return them and $10 more dollars to get the right size. I will not be ordering from them again. Most stores have free exchanges, free returns or free shipping but they don't get you on both ends. Customer service was no help at all. Very disappointed.

    I called Dillard's customer service asking if I could have an exception to the return policy since I was a week overdue, but had just lost a grandchild, and had not been home to take care of anything during the past month. Customer service was rude, and just kept repeating I was a week overdue. I asked for a manager, and was told I could call the corporate office, I have called 4 times, and sat on hold for an hour, and they keep telling me I am the first in the que, but then they come back and tell me there are 2 calls ahead of me, and this cycle keeps repeating.

    This had been a large purchase for a wedding, that I wasn't able to attend due to the loss of my grandchild, and I can't get any customer care help or anyone to answer at Dillard's Corporate Office. I am extremely disappointed in their lack of service and respect and will never purchase from them again. I will also make it very well known on social media what happened to me, and how I was treated by them. DO NOT EVER PURCHASE FROM DILLARDS.

    I recommend that no one ever shops at Dillard's. Their customer service department and customer service supervisors are very rigid. I purchased an item for my disabled mother and due to her condition, not being able to try on the item until she felt better, the 30-day window to return was exceeded by 14 days. Even after explaining the circumstances and asking to at least be able to return the $129 item for store credit, I was denied by two separate customer service supervisors. When asked to speak with the next higher up supervisor I was told they were in a meeting. Unless you welcome a hassle if your item doesn't work out for you, and you don't mind being stuck with an item you can't use, I would recommend not ever shopping at Dillard's!

    Never shopping with them again. This is crazy. My family was sick for over a month. I printed a return for 2 dresses within days of receiving it. I accidentally didn't send it out until past the return window. They returned the dresses to me and will not give me a refund. So upsetting. I shop from Saks, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus & Macy's all the time. Gave Dillards a try and they are awful. If they care to fix this and do the right thing, the order number is **. They were never worn and this is CLEAR because there is an attached ribbon that wraps around and through the entire dress.

    There is nothing good to say working in this location-Strongsville, Ohio. The management is promoting racism and discrimination between employees. Moreover, top manager hired gangs in order to stalk and harass employees in private life. This is illegal and others are fooled in order to cooperate and believe this is in "good" faith. What a maniac! He got his back by corrupted law enforcement that is why he thinks his head is covered. He needs to be investigated for slandering people by making up lies around the community!

    Per a salesperson's recommendation, I bought a pair of boots which I really liked and planned to keep them. So I disposed of the carton. The next day, I got an email about a clearance sale regarding the boots purchased. The price was now $50 less than the price I paid. I went to the store and they explained that I needed the carton for the return/refund. I asked for a credit but that is not their policy. Pretty sad. I will keep the boots but this has soured my opinion of Dillard's. Tough lesson for me.

    I shop at Dillard’s pretty often and have for a number of years. On this day I was purchase couple of tree decorations but was also going to purchase a cologne for my 17 year old grandson. The women at the cologne counter as I approached told me to go pay at a different counter cause she was busy (eating). Needless to say I never bought the cologne. I consider this rude and unprofessional. She lost a sale for the store.

    This is a follow up on a review I made on December 9th for a purchase on December 1st. After making a purchase on 12/1 for a Xmas gift I followed up with customer service 8 days later after no movement on my purchase. I was advised on the 9th that my purchase wasn't shipped and given the option to terminate the purchase and order again or get a refund. I opted for a refund and was advised the refund would take up to 48 hours. On the 12th not refunded. Call to check status and was told I couldn't be refunded because they shipped the package and needed it back before I could get my money. They actually ship the package 2 days after I requested my refund. Stating there is nothing they can do. They are holding my money because of their mistakes! To coin the phrase of the kids, THIS COMPANY SUCKS! I WOULDN'T BUY WATER FROM THEM IF I BURST OUT IN FLAMES IN FRONT OF THE STORE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

    Dillard's has always carried high quality products in clothing. I am not a fan of the $8.95 delivery fee unless you spend $150. If I'm purchasing a $100 blouse it should ship for FREE. Nevertheless, my review is more about online shopping. Due to some experiences lately (I understand it is the Christmas season) I am going to suspend online shopping at ALL stores, not just Dillard's. The customer service/shipping (costs and delays) is what has led me to this decision. if I can't buy it at point of sale in-store, I'll do without it. Online shopping is unreliable and/or expensive. I knew at some point it would come to this and now here we are. For me online is a wrap.

    I have ordered from Dillards multiple times for my son. I ordered a pair of Steve Madden Loafers for homecoming, once I realized they were not going to arrive in time (as I later found out they were being shipped directly from Steve Madden, not Dillards, I placed a separate order directly with Steve Madden and got my shoes well before the ones from Dillards arrived. I contacted Dillards when I saw that they still hadn’t shipped, to cancel the order. I was told that even though they weren’t shipped yet, since they were coming from the manufacturer then I would have to wait until I received them and then return them. I am a breast cancer patient, finding the time and energy to drive 20 minutes into town to make a return is not easy for me.

    The shoes did eventually arrive, later than planned, and we already had a different pair of shoes so the box got set down in another room and forgotten about as I have been very busy driving an hour every day for radiation treatments plus I have major brain fog. I am having a better day today and remembered the shoes and tried to make a return. I was told that despite everything, it falls outside of their strict 30 day return policy and there is nothing they can do. I spoke with 3 different people today and they all stated the same. They are willing to make exceptions over the holidays and extend their return policy to 60 days, but not willing for a loyal customer that is battling cancer. This is such a disgusting disgrace and Dillards should be ashamed of themself. They will never get my business again and I really hope that anyone reading this that is, has, or knows someone that’s going through cancer, doesn’t do business with them either.

    This was the first and LAST time I will be buying from Dillards! They don’t care about their customers and I would give a 0 if I could. Please please reconsider buying from them! At the end of March, I purchased 3 dresses totaling $1,025. They came in on time but did not match the color of the event I was making. I kept them in their bags with the tags still on. I printed out their own return label beginning of April and gave it to USPS (like they told me to). It was well within their 30 day return window. I followed all their directions. We did not get a tracking number from the post office. Since I thought their own sticker on the box was sufficient, I thought nothing of it.

    To my surprise, I received a box from Dillards the beginning of SEPTEMBER giving me back the 3 dresses stating I returned them past their 30 day return window.

    What!?! I was completely shocked! I called them for the USPS tracking which showed no activity and their own warehouse shows no information on when it was received!

    I called Customer service right away and was told the manager Sandy will call me after she spoke to the warehouse. She never called me. Last Friday I called to ask for her and they told me she wasn’t there. I called today and magically she still wasn't there so this time I spoke to manager named Summer. She was no help at all and totally rude! Then got passed along to another manager Jasmine who did nothing for us! I offered to pay for the return shipping but they still said no. They can’t even prove how or when they got the box bec their warehouse said “the box didn’t have any labels on the outside of the box” ummmmm then how did they get it??? They are a bunch of liars! The only way it could have gotten to them is if the label had their address, right?

    In short, they are sticking to their guns stating they got the dress end of August (Way after their 30 day window) but without providing ANY proof! I have to work very hard for $1,025 so this is very upsetting to me. I’m beyond frustrated and I am hurt that they don’t care about their customers at all! PLEASE stay far far away from Dillards! (I would also like to state that I have NEVER complained like this before. I’m not one to go around spreading bad things but this needed to be heard by all).

    First I have always been taught to give a compliment first so I will do that. The clothing we have received from Dillards has been well-liked and delivery times great. Unfortunately, my recent experience will keep me from buying from Dillards again. I ordered shorts that I needed by a specific date so I paid the extra for express shipping. Unfortunately through no fault of Dillards Fedex had the package lost so we did not receive on time. Again, Dillards was great about refunding the express shipping even though it was not their fault. I'm assuming they can make a claim through FedEx. Great! So then I replied to their email asking for a return label as the items came too late for my intended use. No response, I email again. No response.

    I finally today decided I needed to call them as they are not responding to emails. Only to be told that the email link I was sending messages to was turned off once they sent it to me. It does not state anywhere in the email that they will not be receiving messages back. I then asked, "Can you just please do a label over the phone then." "Well no", now they can't because it's past 30 days. "Well when I was trying to contact you it was not past 30 days. I can send you a screenshot verifying my attempt to contact you." It did not matter, it did not matter that it was an error on their part that they did not state they would not respond to emails. The customer service manager put it all back on me that it was my fault I did not try a different avenue to try and contact them.

    Mind you it's only a couple days past the 30 days as well. As a business owner myself, I would of absolutely gave my customer a label. This was not the customer's fault the package did not arrive on time, it's not their fault we did not know our customers would be unaware we would not respond to the emails sent to them (an internal thing they need to fix and should be happy to know it so it can be fixed so others don't not know and call in being unhappy). I am just extremely frustrated and I think the part that frustrates me the most is that I tried and could give them proof that I tried and instead of saying great, send it to me it was you should of done more to try and get ahold of us. Never again, I was a good customer. Placed many orders. Have never returned anything and then get treated like this. I will find another place to order clothing from.

I called customer service and was on the phone and said, "Hey I haven't opened anything yet but the sticker is reading that it's beige but it's in a gray color sticker and the Nuna label says hazelwood." She assured me to open the box to verify. I was hesitant and asked several more times as I didn't want to be unable to return it. She assured me again so I open it and it's the wrong color altogether. So I tell her. She says, "No problem. Let me get you over to returns." Perfect..

    Until returns get on the phone I start to process and she asked a bunch of questions then asked if I opened it. I said, "Yes per your representative. She told me to." At that point she had stopped and said, "NOPE no returns on open boxes." I explained that I was just transferred from customer service WHO TOLD ME TO OPEN IT. She was now rude and said, "There's nothing we can do. You opened it." All I wanted was the correct seat I had ordered for my son. That's it.

    I have been shopping at Dillards for most all of my clothes for over 20 years and I have spent thousands of dollars during that time. I just spent $444.14 on May 27, 2024. On Thursday July 18th the button popped off on a pair of capris jeans that I just bought. I had the receipt so I travelled to a local Dillards store and tried replacing or returning them. The customer service representative kept informing me that they could not accept the defective jeans because I did not have the original tags, they had been worn and washed. I did not accept that so she contacted a manager to speak with me.

    The manager basically stated the same information. I kept explaining to the manager that I would not be returning the jeans if the button did not pop off in less than 2 weeks of owning them. It did not matter. She recommended I contact the manufacturer but I should not have to do that. They should stand behind the products that they buy to sell to consumers. Especially since they are very expensive! So, I need everyone that reads this to really think about Dillards return policy,

    1. They give you 30 days to return the item.
    2. If within that 30 days you threw away the tags, worn or washed the item you cannot return that item.

    3. EVEN if the item is defective, not due to your negligence just the item being defective, they still will not accept the return if the item does not have the tags, has been worn or washed.

    I did not cause the button to pop off, I was just buttoning up the jeans. I planned on keeping the jeans, I was forced to return them because the button could not be put back on. All I wanted was a replacement. I will NEVER EVER shop at any Dillards stores anywhere!!!! Their return policy is set up for their benefit not the customers. HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!
