    The little troll “manager” at the Lombard store refused to honor a clearly displayed price for swimming trunks. This is a violation of Illinois consumer protections which spell out what occurs in disputes like this. Your store is closing and you are arguing with me over 2 bucks when I have 100% the law on my side. Your own damn employees listed the price not me. No wonder they went bankrupt with such low IQ staff. But this little troll will be out of a job soon so karma wins again.

    I purchased sweaters for my girls' winter dance. Paid $24.99 next day air shipping. Got a shipping confirmation. Then nothing. I contacted them two days later. Was told if it didn't arrive by the end of the day, contact them again, when clearly the shipping label showed it had never been picked up by UPS. Asked them to cancel the order and issue a refund and they refused. Runaround #1. So of course, no package on the day it was supposed to be delivered.

    Next morning, finally shows picked up on the day it was supposed to be delivered. Contacted them again. Stated they would issue a refund for the shipping but could not recall the package...this is not true. I told them I would be returning it because I do not need it now. The event has come and gone. I told them I would NOT be paying a fee to ship the items back since this was not my error. They terminated my communication. Runaround #2. Now waiting for a package and when it arrives, I will contact them again. They have made it such a pain in my *** that now, I am returning the items on principle alone. I will never shop with this company again. Their customer service is ridiculous.

      I was in Dartmouth Mass store about 7:17 is when I walked out after waiting so long for a fitting room to be cleaned out then when she finally let me in. She knocks on my door saying that they're going to close it why?? Fitting room should be cleaned out for customers to try on their clothes.

      I ordered a dress and received a shirt. When I reached out to their customer service, the agent was rude, did not answer my questions, first said there would be a problem with my refund and then said there would be no problem with my refund, refused to send me the original item that I paid for, and did not answer any of my questions about how I would receive the refund and if I would receive the refund for the item that never arrived. It is not like I made a mistake when I ordered the dress; Forever21 sent me the wrong item and is putting all of the onus on me to get this resolved whilst refusing to send me the dress that I paid for. I do want to add that the employees working at the store that I picked up my order from were absolutely wonderful and were not involved in this experience.

      I ordered a shirt online and know for a fact I ordered a size XL. I was sent a large and I paid for expedited shipping. It was shipped regular mail and the shipment did NOT contain an invoice. I called customer service and she was not helpful. Didn’t offer me a return or any options how disappointing. She also was not concerned when I told her I would not be ordering again. By the way the shirt was poor quality and has a big snag in it. They need to be shut down. Do yourself a favor and skip this business.

      Don't ever buy from this site never!!! Your package never would arrive!!! I had a very bad experience with this site, and there's no way to contact them. This site is the worst and don't ever spend a dollar with them.

      Horrible online experience. I have ordered from them several times. This last experience was terrible and I won't spend money with them again. The item took 4 days to ship and customer service when I contacted them provided false information, was unprofessional and refused to give me a supervisor. Don't waste your time with this company please.

      I personally, wouldn't recommend. Their plus size-sizes; are way off. I ordered 2 dresses in my normal size, and they were nowhere near that size..It was truly frustrating. Why advertise "plus size", when it's not right!!!

      Their customer service is terrible! I ordered from them and the estimated delivery day was August 8th 2024. On August 15th the package still hasn’t arrive and the tracking number they provided literally said “The package data was sent to OnTrac, but we have yet to receive the package from the sender. Tracking will update once it arrives. Please contact the sender for more information.” So like it says I contacted their customer service and the person who works at the chat asked me to wait 3 more days and if it still hasn’t come then contact them again so they can launch an investigation cause he insisted the package has been shipped (the track number says package hasn’t been received from sender) when on their app their delivery status lied and said,"It's completed!" They also terminated my chat because I asked for a refund of order!

      I just ordered the same sweater I purchased years ago because of how amazing the quality was. I was so disappointed to find they had changed the cut to a thong, and made the material quality very poor by comparison. It is a thin, thong cut body suit and it was advertised as the same thick, swimsuit cut as I had before. They did not offer returns on this order. I bought 3 because I liked them so much. $30 waste of money. I’ll never buy here again. Their quality has gone down so much.

      I have had one of the most horrible experiences ordering from Forever21. I always order from SHEIN. SHEIN is very clear with shipping communication unlike Forever21. Forever21 didn’t even have their delivery date mentioned so how on earth a person would understand when it would be delivered! Absolutely useless customer service and not helpful at all.

      On June 1st I placed an order for store pick up but 24 hrs later I’m still waiting for the email confirming that my order was ready. I called the store and I was told that my order was delayed because the person that puts the order together forgot to fill my order. I was not happy with that answer so I decided to not pick up the order. Two days later I finally got an email stating that my order was ready for pickup, I ignored it. On June 9th I got an email saying “final day to pick up my order”, I ignored it again. Now I’m waiting for my order cancel out and get my refund, on June 15th I got another email saying thank you for picking up your order.

      I called customer service and I was told that they need to investigate and escalate the situation, because they needed to reach out to the store. Week and a half and I’m still waiting so I called back and asked for a supervisor, I was told once again that they needed to reach out to the store. Now today is July 5th and I still have no refund because the investigation was done and the store is saying that the order was picked up on June 2nd so there will be no refund. I’m so disappointed in the store and the customer service team. I’m out of my money and no clothes. The only thing I can do is call my bank and have them fight the situation.

      I will never ever order online purchases from Forever 21, I have received three delivery dates! Ordering early due to events, is useless! My advice to anyone who has a special occasion to order at least a month ahead for delivery, it's like it's coming from another country!

      Forever 21 has been overtaken by a Chinese company called Shein. I just bought a bunch of clothes on F21's online store which strangely did not allow me to opt for in store pick up! Fraud 3rd party shipper asked 10x if I had a gate code. I said no. So they thought they could lie about delivery! I have a security guard and no delivery trucks came in that day. Shipper posted an empty delivery photo! Put a fake dot on map and lied saying they delivered it to my porch when they never even came into my club! Calling F21 was useless & the girl would not help me and would not let me speak to a manager. I told her that I would call back and ask to speak to a manager. She said when I called back she would answer every time. And she did. How does a billion dollar multinational corporation have only one person working phones?

      The F21 chatbot was more useless and creepy. Sreeparna says they'll look into the claim and that I can call them back in 8-10 days... On 7/11. Only 7/11 is 18 days from now! 2 hours later I realized she has not sent me a confirmation for this "Investigation". So I chatted her again and told her that. So she sends me a cheesy poorly written note with two fonts, repeating what she said earlier, but gave NO INFORMATION about confirmation number. Is this for real? Did our beloved Forever 21 sell out its loyal customers and all our information to a China company? The Chinese company SHEIN who merged with F21 is notorious for Sweatshop child labor. I lost $280.00 in business dealings with Shein!!! F21 is now being run by a FRAUDULENT Chinese company. Their shippers, phone personnel, websites... everything FRAUD. I wasted 5 hours on this. I'M REPORTING THIS TO MY CREDIT CARD TOO FOR FRAUD. BEWARE!!!
