I ordered from Forever 21 recently and was extremely dissatisfied with the customer service I received after having a problem with my order. My order shipped from them on April 3, and arrived April 9th. I was extremely excited, being that I was waiting for new work clothes for once I am able to go back to work after this pandemic; and have always loved shopping with Forever 21 in the past. With that being said, once I opened the box, I realized a coat I ordered (that was on sale for the price of $33) was not in my package.
After trying to contact Forever 21 through their online portal on their website MULTIPLE times, although I am sure none of the messages I sent went through because all their page does is refresh, I decided to send an email to them. I sent multiple emails, up until April 16th, when I finally got a response. The email more so felt as if they were blaming me, and suspecting me of not telling the truth with not having an item in my package. They proceeded to ask me to send them pictures of the box etc. as proof, which I did not have because it had been over a week at this point and like most people, you take your items out once you get a delivery and don't keep the box.
On April 21st, they contacted me again after my recent response email back to them and now wanted me to fill out an Affidavit form, for them to even look into why my coat I ordered was missing. I was really confused with this customer service approach because it not only came off rude, but is not solving the simple problem of replacing the item, or refunding me. I even said it could be 100% store credit, because I would just rather re-buy the coat, or buy something else if it is not in stock anymore.
When the package arrived, everything was perfect. The box was not damaged, not tampered with, and everything I ordered was in there (and I ordered a lot) except the coat. I work in retail myself and have for years, and I know what it is like to just misplace something by accident or forget to put it in there, because mistakes DO happen. I do not think that the customer, like myself, should feel blamed for a mistake that I know had nothing to do with me, or even the mail delivery system. Sadly, going forward, I do not see myself supporting, recommending, or shopping with Forever 21 anymore after this, and now can understand partially why they may be going out of business as a company.

I recently purchased a few items on the Forever 21 app. I paid for them, got a shipping notification and was excited to receive the pieces. The item said it arrived to my city (via FedEx), but then never updated again once at the FedEx warehouse. After about 10 days, I contacted Forever21 via phone and the customer service girl said "she wasn't sure what to do". So, she referred me to other customer service members. They told me I had to fill out legal documentation (an affidavit) with all of my order information & return it to them within 5 days... I did so within ONE HOUR. They said that they'd be in contact within 2 business days and would be shipping replacement items. (I wasn't even asking for a refund - I just wanted the items I spent almost $100 on!) The item was ordered in March (March 23). The package's location was last updated on April 1st. Today is April 23rd. A FULL MONTH!!
I've written to Forever21 Customer Service 4 times since my original inquiry and haven't gotten a single reply. NO REPLY! Not even an automated reply! I've given them other email addresses in case there was an issue with emails getting bounced back, I've given them my cell phone number, my work phone number, my home address... I work in retail. I am the head of sales for a large national brand. I understand things go wrong. I also understand how important EACH ORDER, EACH CUSTOMER & EACH EXPERIENCE is for the end consumer. I've been shopping at Forever21 for over 10+ years. I am easy going, almost never ever return anything and am patient...but this is BEYOND. Truly the worst customer service experience I've ever had - with any brand.

So I ordered my daughter something on Forever21 on the 26th of March and 9 days went by and they still have not ship my merchandise and then they finally shipped it and then he told me that two of the items that I ordered was out of stock so my price was supposed to go down so on April 4th they took two payments out of my account. They took the payment that was originally and that was $132 and then the the money after they added the other two items that they took off my order that so it came up with $103. I look at my account and they took the $103 out and they took the $132 out. Of my account.. So after the two items was - out of my total amount it came up to $103. I cannot get ahold of anybody. It's impossible to talk to a human. I'm very upset. I want my money back. I will never order from these guys again. No wonder they're going out of business.

Here’s a brief outline of events which have me overwhelmingly convinced of never again doing business with Forever 21. These events occurred between January 8, and March 8, 2020: 1) I purchase an e-gift card to be emailed by Forever 21 to my daughter for her birthday. 2) My daughter never receives the email. A comprehensive search of email folders, including SPAM, confirms this. I track order on forever21.com - it shows “shipped” status. 3) I call Forever 21 Customer Service. Representative says e-gift card was emailed. They agree to resend email. I ask why an e-gift card has shipping and tracking info. Representative says they don’t know.
4) My daughter does not receive new email. All folders once again examined. 5) I call Customer Service. They say e-gift card was emailed. I explain situation. They say they will email gift card number and PIN. 6) I receive three emails, all with different gift card numbers and PINS. 7) I take my daughter to local Forever 21 to redeem gift card. Clerk says gift card numbers and PINS are invalid, and they cannot help me in store because e-gift card was purchased online, and they cannot refund my money.
8) I call Customer Service. They say gift card numbers and PINS are valid. I tell them what happened in store. They say they cannot help me and that I have to discuss this matter with the Phone Orders department. I tell representative that I never placed a phone order. They say it doesn’t matter, and then she proceeds to transfer my call back to the same Customer Service department. Another representative answers, I explain the situation, the representative says I have to get it resolved in the local store, I ask for a refund, the representative says they cannot refund my money, and then hangs up. 9) My daughter goes back to the local Forever 21 to try and resolve the matter. The store clerk says there’s nothing they can do to help. 10) I go to the local Forever 21 store, speak with the manager, who agrees to refund my money.
In addition to the aforementioned phone calls and visits to the local store, I also sent several emails to Customer Service, none of which were replied to, even though the website clearly states that emails will be responded to within 24 hours. In summary, I purchased an item which was never received, repeated interactions with Customer Service failed to produce any helpful results, my requests for a refund were repeatedly declined, nobody at the online, phone center, or brick and mortar store level could help me, my daughter never received her birthday present, and the only help I finally received was from a store manager who had to “break the rules” in order to refund my money.

I order here and there from Forever 21. The clothes are decent for the price. I made my first online return. A month later I had to email them to refund me for the return. They refunded me....$4 short of what the refund should be. Debating whether or not I will ever order from them again. Shipping speed is horrible.

Forever 21 has horrible customer service!!!! Cheap clothing at a reasonable price. When calling CS they connect you to a third-party call center & when you ask for an escalation department or supervisor they cannot transfer you. I placed two orders and paid $25 for next day delivery. They shipped out my items standard and not next day!! Deceptive???? Stole my $25. I tried to contact someone. Of course they’re closed or no one can change or fix this issue because the package has been shipped already. I refuse to ever ordered online from Forever 21 and if you order online may I was suggest that you thoroughly make sure everything is correct and that you call and make sure everything is clear. I thought that I was doing this and they still messed up my order for the 2nd x and I have a flight leaving on the day that they claim my package will be delivered. I am going to seek a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as well.

I could give a lower score, I would. I spent 85 dollars on 2 jackets and received free expedited shipping. I was expecting the order to be delivered on Friday of 1/17/2020. The order was marked as delivered but I never received anything. I sent 4 different emails to their customer service and received no response. I called 3 different times and was basically going in circles.
The first call claimed that the package was delayed in transit and would be delivered on 1/27/2020. After not receiving it yesterday, I called 2 more times and finally the third call said they would file a claim for me. This “claim” takes 8-10 business days for them to investigate and see if my package was lost. They could at the end of the 10 days decide to not give a refund. This has been the worst ordeal of any online ordering and I will NEVER order from this company again. Save your money and shop somewhere that has decent customer service. I am out 2 jackets and 85 dollars.

I ordered multiple items online that were delivered on December 7th. I decided to return a few of the items so I got a return label and put the items that I was returning in the mail on December 8th. All items had tags still attached and in original bags. I received a email from Forever 21 on December 26th stating that they would not be excepting my return because the items had been worn or washed. I immediately sent an email and followed-up with a phone call. I was told that my complaint would be expedited and I would hear from the return department within 36 hours. The total for the returned items was $49.70. On January 7th I finally received an email that they were crediting me $26.80. I have contacted the company via email, no response. I would be very careful buying from this company. This whole ordeal has been very sketchy.

I normally don't take the time to come and write reviews. But I am fed up with this company. I tried to still shop with them on behalf of my teenage daughter. But continuously, I stay dealing with issues from the online department. I returned one order ** in December and was told that their warehouse had received it and give it to some days to process my refund...I wait after a week of not even receiving the return acknowledgement email you get before a refund is completed. I call again and now the rep tells me it's in transit to the warehouse. I explained that It was already confirmed that they had it. The rep totally ignored me and told me to wait for an email.
Next I went to inquire about a second order ** I placed on the same day that I did the return, and he says, "It appears to be lost. So I'm going to email you some paperwork to fill out and return... then allow up to 10 days for it to be processed and your money back". Like why must a customer go through so much on an order that the company verified as lost. This is the 4th incident where I've had to go through problems of not receiving my items or money back. I'm starting to see why some of their stores are closing and they're filing bankruptcy. It's a turnoff for customers to deal with so much hassle. And actual brick and mortar stores are no better...messy, unorganized, and long lines with one poor cashier trying to check everyone out.

Whether the shipping is free or you pay for it, the shipping time is horrible. The site states 1-2 days handling time and 4-6 business days to receive an order. They should just tell people 4-5 days handling time and 10-15 days for delivery because that's how long you'll be waiting for your order.

I wish I could give no stars. However, I need order a dress from Forever 21 to wear to a party. They sent out a coupon saying, "Due to overwhelming demands here is 20% off your next purchase." Sadly the coupon only is to be used online. Moving on I talk to customer service twice this week letting know that They should update their customers.
One of the reps stated that they reaching out to customers to let them know that orders are being shipped. However, on my next call stated my frustration to the next rep and all he could tell is expect my package in another 5-7 business days or I can leave it there and not pick it up and get refunded. I ask to speak to a manager. He told that the managers are in a meeting. The craziest thing is that it's my third time calling about an issue on order now and in the past, where my issue never gets fix or have a solution and in need to speak to a manager. The manager are always in a meeting. I don’t understand how they tell you, "Thank you for being a valued customer" and do nothing for us.

I reached out via email twice and have yet to hear back even though on the site it states I would receive a response within 24 hours. I’ve ordered from Forever 21 multiple times and have never had an issue. Other retailers have the decency to email customers when they are expecting a delay in shipping. I have not been able to connect with anyone in customer service and it has definitely left me feeling frustrated and ready to spend my money with a retailer that values their customers.

I placed an order on 12/3 for a few items of clothing that are to be Christmas presents for my daughter. I tried to reach someone in customer service a couple of days ago to find out the status of the order, and I cannot get anyone to respond. I tried doing a live chat, was on hold for at least 20 minutes, and then got cut off. I tried calling the customer service number which is based out of California and was told the office was closed, even though I was calling within the hours listed on the website. I fear the clothes will not arrive in time for Christmas and worse, that I will never receive them nor be reimbursed. Does anyone who has had a similar experience know how to reach someone in customer service? I would love to be able to connect and see if the matter can be resolved. Thanks!

However it's 12/02/19 and the tracking has not updated, although it stated the today was my expected delivery day. So as I am writing her, she stops responding for a good 5 minutes. So I wrote, "Hello?". She responds "PLEASE BEAR WITH ME!" So I say "Okay". She comes back to say "Please advise that today was the expected delivery date, however that date can change at any moment." So I say "Well according to FEDEX, the status that it's in states "Label Created" and their websites state that, that means that the label has been created, but has not made it to FEDEX itself.
She proceeds to keep asking "Anything else?" Then ends the chat as I am still typing. Now I am canceling my order and will not be giving them no more money because, that's ridiculous and rude.

My order is missing, I’ve contacted customer service 3 times about the issue (one email still remains unanswered), they are sending me a form to fill out. No information on when I can expect a refund.

So I will have to waste even more time on it. At this point I might be done with them. Overall rating for customer service would be zero if possible.

Ordered 2 sweaters online, both were the same style and size but different colors. One was much smaller than the other. Was told that the only way to resolve was return to a store and they would do the order exchange. (It took 2 hours to get to the nearest store and back). Store would not honor online price nor would they ship another sweater to me. If I wanted my money back it was for store credit only.
Once again called customer service. The only thing I ended up with after 40 more minutes on the phone was “after you pick up the sweater, call us back and we will give you $6 back.

I bought $160 worth of clothing from them and when I received the items, I was missing a $60 wrap coat and instead received a small child's shirt? I called and they said they would not help me with the missing coat because they needed to receive this ridiculous children's shirt back to their warehouse first. I said I would be happy to return the item I DID NOT ORDER, but in the meantime, how are you going to right your mistake about the missing coat I paid for? They said they will not be able to help me at all right now, but once the item is received back to the warehouse, we can go from there and they can review the situation? WOW.
Meanwhile, they have my money and I have no coat. They never offered to send a replacement coat and they refused to refund me. They also said I had to email a picture of the incorrect item to them, and they would review it in 5 business days and decide if they want to send me a prepaid label or not. So basically, I paid my own money to ship back their mistake item with no refund for my missing coat in sight. I spoke to 6 different customer service agents, and not one was remotely helpful. They all refused to let me speak to a manager. I've sent about a dozen emails and no resolution at all.
They have my money and it seems that's really all they care about. I kind of wonder if this is some scam to send customers "wrong items" or incomplete orders, make them jump through hoops with a million calls and emails to try and get it fixed, meanwhile they just keep your money. There's a reason this company is going bankrupt and I should have followed my gut to stay away since that news. Sad they are now resorting to stealing from their customers. I'm gonna dispute it with my card company and NEVER SHOP AT FOREVER21 AGAIN. Ridiculously enough, I'm supposedly a "VIP customer"... and my experience here shows you just how much that means to them.

With the news of Forever 21's impending Canadian closures, I thought it would be a good time to shop the resulting sale prices and placed an order online. As was and continues to be advertised as a banner on the sale activewear page, all sale activewear is an additional 30% off the sale price. Promotional code 'SPORT30' is to be applied, however, this code is invalid. I was instructed by a customer service agent over the phone to place the order and forward a screenshot of the promotion to their customer service department, who would refund the balance upon review. Customer service emailed me back saying the promo code is expired and all promo codes must be applied at the time of the order - contrary to what the phone agent told me.
They have not responded to any further emails, laughed me off the phone, and to add insult to injury - my order is nowhere to be found. I received a confirmation of shipment email and yet when I click on the tracking number, the Canada Post page says 'this number does not exist' -- and as expected, they're absolutely useless at locating the order. HORRIBLE experience and despite the closing Canadian stores, I will never order from Forever 21 online again.

Called customer service again. Told the belt being returned was declined. Avoid this Company, never purchase anything for you will lose in the end. The only bright side was this was a very minimum purchase. Never, ever order an item with an online only return policy. Never shopping there FOREVER...

On July 22nd I placed an order with Forever 21, reviewed my order and everything looked fine. Received my shipping email, all good up to that point. I was supposed to get my package on July 29th. Checked the tracking and it said delivered to my front door, totally excited opened the door and my package was not there. Checked the tracking and it was delivered to and very old address where my toxic ex and his family live. I called Forever 21 and was told it was my fault for putting a wrong address. Told the very rude agent I did not add that address and their website changed it. I was called a liar and was told that all I needed to do was to go to the address and pick it up.
Once again told the agent I could not do that as my safety and security are at risk. The agent laughed at me and said I was out of luck. Asked for a refund and I was told no then asked for a reship and was told no. Contacted USPS and they tried to recall the delivery 3 times but the could not retrieve it. Called again Forever 21 and they told me they were going to email me an affidavit and they can process a refund. 48 hours later and no email. Called again on July 31st and spoke to "Supervisor" Saul and he was beyond rude and a total **, he said it's my fault and they will do nothing.
After 2 hours on the phone with Saul I requested for the call to be pulled and listened to, he placed me on hold for over 20 minutes. He came back and told me that they are going to listen to the call where I was promised the affidavit and a refund and if I was telling the truth Bertha was going to call me back with a resolution with 24 hours. I am not holding my breath. I will update this complaint as soon as I have more information. NEVER buying from FOREVER 21 again. They are thieves and scammers. I wish there was something that protects me as a consumer. Checked their entire site and there's no mention of issues like this or terms and conditions.

I ordered a pair of sandals for an upcoming Atlantic City trip I had. I didn’t have them on for 5 minutes and they broke and I had no shoes the rest of the night. I went to the store to return them and the girls were very rude and made me feel stupid for trying to return them because “I wore them.” They said I could only return them through mail so I had to go through the entire process of printing the label, going to the post office and paying for shipping for shoes that broke on me. I called and emailed customer service multiple times about this and they’ve done absolutely nothing. I still haven’t gotten my money, my broken shoes are in the mail somewhere and this has been an absolute nightmare. I do not recommend shopping there. Their return/ exchange policy sucks.

I contacted Forever 21 and was told a supervisor would call me back the same day. Never received a call back. Called back to follow up after 1 day and was informed they were submitting a dispute 1 claim since the claim was denied by the carrier.
Called back about 2 days later to follow up on the dispute 1 claim only to be informed after waiting on hold for 1 hour and 45 minutes nothing could be done because the carrier denied the claim.

So for almost a year or two I’ve had the Forever 21 card (not credit) with few problems. However those problems have become huge on fault of the Comenity pay company who handles the F21 card business. One they take longer than they say to pull money from your account and that’s not including weekends. Two they tried to pull funds from my account TWICE without any warning and the company gave me no updates about this happening. Although funds were available and it says the money was taken out I was still striked for their mistakes. Apparently they couldn’t take out any money (again no updates) even though when I logged into my account it said payment went through fine. No update or anything and now I’m penalized and unable to use the card for three months.
Their customer service through their phone line and online message center is of no use. Their message center gives you nothing but extremely vague and robotic answers and their call center workers don’t know what to do. I don’t blame the call center or online message center workers just because it really feels like they are given little to no instruction on how to deal with these problems. However they just awkwardly stay silent on the phone when they don’t know what they’re doing which isn’t great either. Zero solutions offered that aren’t cookie cutter and it’s apparently never the company’s fault. As someone who works in customer service it feels like none of their workers care at all. Horrible card service that I cannot wait to pay off so I can cancel it!! DO NOT USE!!

Told by email that since I wore them, they wouldn't be eligible for return or exchange. I replied about my disappointment, and said I would close my account. Not even the courtesy of a response.
If you spend money with this company you are stuck with what you get - end of story. Don't expect Forever 21 to care about you - disregard their biblical scripture reference of John 3:16 printed on their bags. Parents, be advised.

The shirt I received has no tag and has a perfume like odor as if someone wore it. I have taken pictures too.

I check the shipping info again and it still said it was in transit, but there was no updated info since Feb 20th. So, I decided to send an order info request to Forever 21. The response I received was that my order had been returned and that I should call them. Once doing so, I was told that the shipper had returned it and they couldn’t tell me why. It took them 10 days and an email from me to realize they never even sent my package!
They acknowledged that it was their fault so they could ship the item again at no cost to me (duh – it was never shipped the first time I paid), however, could not send my item to me express as per their policy. Additionally, they could not give me a gift card or discount code for their mistake. Also, once they reship the item I will need to call them again to receive the tracking information. This is absolutely the worst service I have ever received without even receiving my package!

Why does Forever 21 think it's a good idea to annoy their customers while they are trying to shop? With ridiculously see through high pressure sales tactics? Also, your site is a mess. And it crashes often. I used to love Forever 21 and now I find myself just clicking out of your site even if I've seen cute stuff I'd like to buy because dealing with you is such a nuisance. Not to mention I've had a few items come in not as described (different pattern, one leg longer than the other FOR EXAMPLE) AND if you ever choose "ship to store" the store has no idea when your package came.

I have tried to place three orders using my Forever 21 credit card.

It has been about 3 months since I've been able to make an order online because every time I try, it says my credit card information does not match. This is not true because I triple check the info and it is correct and it was already pre-added information from when I made online orders before. I have tried about 5 different card and Apple Pay and the phone app, and it still says my card info is incorrect. If I try Afterpay or Paypal it confirms my order then cancels it one minutes later. I have even tried using a different email, changing my shipping address and still no luck. When I call customer service to ask for why my order gets canceled when I use Paypal I am told my order info was 'flagged' but that is all the info that they apparently get so they can't even give you a reason why it was flagged.
It is also extremely hard to get a hold of a customer service person because it does not appear they work the hours advertised on the website. When I tried to make an over the phone order they said they weren't taking any at this time and that I needed to call back another time. I have sent email inquiries to customer service and either do not get a response or am not provided a resolution. This has been apparently been happening to many people over the course of at least TWO YEARS because if you go to their Facebook page there is an extremely long thread of people complaining of this issue starting 2 years ago and no response by the company on the page.

We get to the store and they have the sale signs over the entire store making sure to place directly on their jackets, outerwear, and sweaters.

When we asked why are there 50% on jackets signs on the jackets but we have to pay full price for them they’re response was they don’t know!! They pointed to four blazers in an empty corner of the store stating these were on sale. The offer was a complete scam and the store was junky. This is the second time they’ve done this and it’s clear now it’s just a scam just to get people in the store under the impression there’s a sale when the items are still being sold at full price.

Neither Forever 21 or Fed Ex would take responsibility for the missing items, and neither would refund the $40 that those articles of clothing that I never received cost me. I even mentioned that I still have the shipping bag and that someone could look at it so they could see that it had been re-sealed by someone either at Forever 21 or Fed Ex. The representative decided to re-open the "investigation" and told me I should have it resolved in a few weeks. It's December. 8 months later and I'm still waiting. The last order I placed I had it shipped to the store and I opened the package right there in front of the cashier so if anything's missing I'd have proof.

We have a Forever 21 store locally so I decided to exchange them in store thinking it would be less of a hassle. WRONG! I explained to the cashier that I wanted the exact same jeans, just in the correct sizes (i.e. the sizes I ordered).
She personally helped me find the EXACT same jeans that I had ordered but in the correct sizes. I wrongly assumed that there would be no charge since I had exchanged the incorrect sized jeans for the exact same style; just in the correct sizes. Oh how wrong I was. They charged me $51! When I asked why, she informed me “Well you bought those other jeans during a 75% off sale. You don’t get those same sale prices when you return or exchange items.” Seriously?! If I had chosen different styles/shade/cuts of jeans when I exchanged them, I could understand the additional charges but, when I got the exact same jeans with the only difference being the sizes, I cannot fathom why I would/should be charged extra! I am very angry and will never buy/order anything from them again.

I’ve ordered from Forever 21 once before and had no issues with shipping. It came in less than a week and they actually told the truth that time about when it would be delivered. My second time ordering from them is literal hell. I ordered on the 27th of November. I did standard shipping (supposed to be 3-6 business days for reference). I never got an email stating that my order was delayed. I tried tracking my order on their website and it wouldn't let me because it hadn’t even been prepared to ship or anything.
I contacted them through the live chat on the 4th of December. They were quick to respond. They told me that they would send it out the next business day and that the order would be here in the next 3 to 6 days. I checked the tracking number the next day (it finally worked) and it said it would be here the 12th of December. Which is already almost 2 weeks for them to ship. I checked again today and it changed it to the 14th of December. So who knows if my package will arrive or not.

I have been shopping at Forever21 for a very, very long time. I typically spend a good amount of money there every year ($1000+). I usually have a good experience with online shopping but not this time. On November 18th I placed an order online. By the 20th it said my order shipped but then I didn’t get my package a week later. I checked the shipping status and the date now said, “Ready to go”.
I tried calling customer service for DAYS. The wait times were always over 20 minutes, that is, when their phone service was even working. I tried emailing twice. I tried tweeting at them twice. I even tried to get on chat, of course their chat services weren’t working any of the times. I finally got a hold of a customer service representative and they said FedEx must have lost my package so she was going to file a claim. If FedEx says they lost it, I’ll get a refund. If they don’t, I have no idea; I wasn’t able to get a straight answer. The customer service representative, Diana, said I would get a confirmation email with the claim information. Surprise surprise, I never got one. I’ll be calling relentlessly until I can get my money back. They lost a very loyal customer because of this.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME BY LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE!! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND TELL YOU GO LOOK FOR YOUR PACKAGE. I wish I read the reviews before I placed my order which was 13 days ago, my order was lost in shipping. I called customer service, I was on hold for 26 minutes then the rudest representative answered. She said, "Call FedEx to find your package," then she hang up. I called another time and another rude one answered after 20 minutes on hold. He said, "If your package is delivered you can return it and get your money back otherwise you can't cancel the order," and we don't have any information about it. I will call my bank and dispute this charge. Hopefully I could get my money back.

Their shipping is crap. I placed my order and it took 5 days to ship even though all items in my cart were in stock. 3 weeks have passed and still no sign of my package. Don’t expect fast shipping, not the 5-10 business days I was promised for standard shipping in the U.S.

They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I placed an order 10 days ago, it hasn't arrived to the USPS office YET and I cannot get a hold of anyone to answer any questions. There are no agents to answer my questions via chat or through their customer service phone number. I have been trying for 4 days to talk to someone. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN!

I was purchasing a product online and placed the order with it being expected to arrive within 5-7 business days. I got a notification that the package was delayed in shipment and that the item may not arrive until a date that was 11 business days from when the order was placed. This is now an issue because I will be out of town starting the day before shipment is expected for a month to a different address in the same state. The day that I saw this change in shipment date I tried reaching out to Forever 21. Their phone number was not working during normal business hours even though I called multiple times. After their phone did not work, I tried using their online chat to reach a representative and they were unable to chat at the moment as well.
Lastly, I sent them an email due to that being the last source of contact. I had no response from anyone the entire Friday (when I did all of this in the morning) or during the weekend. Flash forward to Monday morning. I finally get a hold of someone on their "customer service line" and the agent was rude, unprofessional and kept saying my expectations were too high and that the item has already shipped so they cannot do anything for me. Keep in mind I tried reaching an agent the week prior when shipment was still processing. When I asked to speak to a manager she refused to let me. When during a call with a representative has an agent said "no you cannot speak to someone else?"
Finally, after back and forth arguing with a customer service representative, she said that a manager would be in contact within 24 hours. I have never experienced customer service this awful before. I have shopped here for over 5 years and now am hesitant to even support a business that has "policies" that make their representatives treat you like a back of dirt. Rant over.

I bought online boots, when they came one of the boot was damage and they had no tag not even the slip so I can return it... When I drove to the nearest store I ask for the exchange or return the money. I showed them that I bought it online but for some reason I can’t find email of the purchase. I told the manager to help me sort this problem. She was like laughing like at me that she can’t do anything and I should contact the customer service. Customer service I wait over 20 min so I decide to let them call me back. They never did, I wrote them email and on FB their page and I still get no reply. I don't know what Am I suppose to do with small boots without tags and damage. I am that rich to throw away money. So in one word customer service is very bad.

We tried placing an online order but the company was experiencing technical difficulties and couldn't honor the 50% off they were advertising. They gave us 30% off and told us the additional 20% would be credited once the items shipped. The items shipped and no credit was issued. We have called several times and were told several times that all managers were out at lunch and would call us back. We have never received a return call from anyone. All of the representatives on the phone are hard to understand due to a heavy accent.
They are not accountable, they could absolutely care less about providing even mid grade customer service. We have been lied to and told they cant give us their names or managers' names. We feel that this company is a complete fraud. We will not be shopping there anymore. Someone needs to step in and do something in regards to this company. After reading all other comments it seems that offering horrible customer service and running a completely unethical company is Forever 21's standard.

The last order I received was false advertising; the item was completely different from the item pictured AND the written specifications. They did not include a return form or receipt in my package, and after a week they haven't gotten back to me. They also sent me one shoe, (a singular shoe, for one foot) and failed to deliver a sweater and have nothing to refund me, will not talk to me, etc. They function like a scam, with false advertising, and outright lies in their return policy. Time to say goodbye forever.

Don’t ever buy Forever 21 products online. They have the most terrible customer service I have ever seen. They are too greedy!! They canceled my order twice claiming it’s my fault... but the fact is because they had a Black Friday deal and they didn’t want to honor it. I don’t know how they still maintain a company. One of the worker told me she can’t give me the same deal even though it’s their fault to cancel my order and her reason was “Forever 21 isn’t as rich as other companies.” I swear to God that is what she said. How could that be a reason for them not to give satisfaction to their customers.
No wonder you're not as big, because you don’t value your customer complaint. If this company has owner you should look into your company because you're going to go bankrupt one way or another!!! I was talking to one of the worker through chat and he took me out of the chat before I even got help or answers for all my questions. Usually customer service ask if you have another question or concerned before kicking you out of the chat. I have a pic of it too.

The manager name, Christian from Customer Service promised me will manually process my 3 orders. Still pending after my another first 3 orders got canceled for their own problem. GUESS WHAT! After making a promise, my 4th order got canceled again. I guess my last 2 order will get canceled as well. I guess I order during Black Friday and spending more than a thousand on buying their clothes. That's why they need to cancel my order. Please do something with this company. I cannot believe that how they run the business.

IF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STAR REVIEWS TRUST AND BELIEVE THEY WOULD OF GOT NEGATIVE 50X. I just want to say you guys are extremely horrible of a company, with a very questionable customer service. Because of you guys I missed out on the 50% off because one of your agent told me to wait until midnight for a better deal. Yet upon calling customer service 4x asking for a supervisor who was supposedly will call me back within 24 hours was a lie in itself. I'm extremely pissed off at how you guys can run a multi-million corporate like this. I haven't got a call at all. I'm losing out money because you guys are not training your call center correctly and sad to say they need to learn how to speak more clear and less attitude.
I care that you listen to all the calls in regarding my phone number as to why I caught a voice with your agents because they sound like some robots that repeat what I already know you. You guys are suppose to be solution solvers ESPECIALLY if you guys are the reason why I missed out on something. And the first agent I spoke to kept saying there is a glitch in the system like 3 different occasion. You would think you would put your money in a system where it doesn't GLITCH.
Bad agents name Mary, Adrian, Bre (2x) because apparently the first one hung up on me because she couldn't handle the heat because the company doesn't give these agent any rooms to solve solution. I called again since she wanted to hang up, got her again who tried to play a different person -_- with the same name but tried to switch up her voice. But her attitude was the same on the defense. When I asked for a supervisor was nowhere around... Greedy company that can care less about their consumers when we are the one giving you the money. Cheap ** materials, cheap ** customer service, cheap ** website. Cheap ** period. Shame! I'm just in disbelief at your degrading company.

Forever 21 has changed a lot since it’s debut. I used to find good clothes and deals before but now they’ve become a zoo. Their “web exclusives” are cheap third party brands that are misleading the consumer. The pictures online look great but the actual products are disgusting and doesn’t look like the online pictures whatsoever! When you try to return it they charge you for return shipping and the stores won’t return it. One store told me to take it to another store 12 miles away and I will be able to return it there but when I went they couldn’t return it either.
I finally made a big deal about it to the manager and they gave me store credit. The return to store credit process took 30 minutes because the cashier didn’t know how to return the order. I’ve then placed an order online with a store credit and forgot to use my coupon code. I couldn’t cancel my order right away from app so I contacted Forever 21 customer service via email 10 minutes after and was told to expect a reply in 24 hours. 48 hours later I still had no response so I sent another email, again no response. I finally called and I was told the order shipped and I was on hold for 15 minutes while the lady checked on my order to help me and she came back and said nothing could be done on her end after the order shipped but I could return my order and place it again. Then I asked to speak to the manager. I was on hold for a long time and the line got cut off. I will not be shopping at Forever 21 ever again.

I purchased a pair of heels for an upcoming wedding. At home, I cut the string and tried the shoes on to find that they did match well as I'd hoped. I was unable to locate the receipt and do contacted a store manager for advisement. I was told that they can't validate receipt of purchase via my card and because the string was cut the item is deemed unreturnable. So now I'm stuck with shoes I don't want. I will never shop with them again unless they implement a better return policy.

This was not my first order from Forever 21 but let me tell you about this one... Long story short, I ordered a pair of black cargo pants. Belt was a little long but loved the pants. Wore them ONCE for a couple hours, washed them in cold water with Zero for dark clothing, hoping to preserve that rich black color. Pants looked like they had been washed over and over. Color faded and looked horrible. Terrible quality pants, didn't hold its shape... Contacted customer service and asked for a supervisor to call me back because they had been worn and washed so the return policy was not looking good for me. Nobody called back.
I contacted Forever 21 customer service and conveniently I was told by a manager (after insisting that I would hold for a supervisor to become available as I was not willing to wait for someone to call me back again) that it was too late to return the item and would have to try my luck at the store level. I did not buy this item in store, I purchased it online. The only good part of this story is that the manager at one of the stores did allow me to exchange the item for anything else in store of the same value or pay the difference, of course. I have had bad experiences with the quality of their clothing before but I know that stores change suppliers and quite often you can find some cute one of a kind items.
Forever 21 sells horrible quality clothing consistently, and customer service is extremely rude when you phone about online orders. Put them in their place and stop shopping at these stores that do not appreciate your business. Without us, there is no business. Have y'all seen the Forever 21 clothing in the Canadian stores for Fall/Winter 2018? Sasquatch looking nonsense and some weird funky looking nightmarish fashion no no no, never!

I ordered two items online from Forever 21 in July 2018 to be shipped to the store closest to my house, figuring that this would be one of the quickest options as I was needing these items for an event later that month. Upon ordering it indicated that the package would arrive in 5-10 business days, it has now been OVER 4 MONTHS and the product JUST ARRIVED TO MY STORE. I was originally told that I would not be able to cancel my order and receive a refund, however I would have to wait until my package was delivered to the store and after 10 days if I didn’t pick it up, I would receive my refund.
It has been 4 months of ENDLESS phone calls and emails with NO RESPONSE OR ANSWERS so I still have no idea if I will even receive my refund for these products. I was a loyal F21 shopper, but this experience has been absolutely horrifying. Forever 21 should be ashamed in their disgusting, lack of customer service and business practices. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME!
