I would give negative stars if it was an option. I ordered a dress for a trip and it was too big. I ordered another one that had no tracking. It thankfully came the day I was leaving. It fit better so I decided I’d return the first one when I returned. Unfortunately, that put me out of the 30 day window that I did not know was insanely strict. I missed it by 3 days - complicated by life happening and the fact all emails came from Old Navy and I got confused on where to take it. A factory store can’t accept the return but that’s all that is near me so she told me to try customer service for an exception. No luck. They don't care. They kept saying thanks for being Encore member and counting the days from my delivery to return but never once considered my loyalty, how many years I’ve shopped there with no previous request for an exception.
That’s fine. I’ll use the credit or give it away but I’ll never shop at this group of stores again. There are other stores that sell similar clothes and I will happily spend more for better service. I hate store credits. I always forget them and never use them and it’s money wasted. Do not recommend these stores, especially if you don’t have a location near you and you’re forced to shop online. Just don’t do it. They make tons of money and still try to rip off honest customers with their crappy service. They can close stores and they can ship from all of their brands but if you as customer try to return to one of them but not the specific one your item is from, you are screwed. I can understand if it’s like 60 days but 3 days past the deadline?? There should be some wiggle room for certain circumstances.

I’ve been looking for several years for a good zipper hoodie made the way they used to make them, of warm French Terry and a reasonable length. I found one at a gap online store and ordered it. I got the tracking email that it would arrive on June 1. June 1 came and went and it still showed on the way. I was about to call gap when it was updated to June 10. It was not delivered on June 10 either. I called gap Customer Service and after five times asking the robot, got transferred to a live person. She said it was shipped by USPS with final delivery by UPS. My address is a box in a UPS Store in downtown Chicago. It was not delivered because whoever was supposed to deliver it thinks the address doesn’t exist. The Customer Service service didn’t have access to contact the shipper. She gave me the number of the post office.
I called the post office and the robot would absolutely NOT Let me talk to a person. It expected me to enter a 30 digit tracking number on my keypad. While I was trying to do that, it decided I wasn’t cooperating and hung up on me. I will not be ordering from gap again because they do not have competent couriers. Maybe one day I’ll find the zipper hoodie I’m looking for somewhere else. Maybe if God is willing it will even be in a pretty color this time. One of the reasons I posted this review as there is no other way to write to gap. Their only options are phone, or chatting with a robot.

I will never order from Gap again. My order was never delivered. First the email said it went UPS access point. Then when I called customer service they said it went to a post office far from my home. Because it was delivered to a post office, they couldn’t cancel the order or refund me, and I would have to wait weeks until the post office sent it back and they receive it. Horrible experience.

Will NEVER order from them again. Not only did they (finally) deliver some of my items to the wrong address, but it was impossible to get information regarding where the rest of the order is! Still missing the items I need for work. Miserable experience and now it's suggested that I file a claim, as if I have the time or energy! I ordered online for the ease and convenience. I couldn't be more disappointed with my experience. Not easy to find items to fit as I'm so slender. I was so excited to order! Anyone have suggestions for another company with decent customer service and delivery that also carries small sizes?

I ordered a pair of denim shorts to take on a trip to the Caribbean. Not only was the item delayed but when I returned to find the package it contained a child's sweat shirt. A customer service agent said she would issue me a 20% off coupon to use for the trouble and ship me the shorts after I was refunded and paid again. The 20% coupon doesn't work at all and when I tried to email this company about it NO ONE responded. Two emails and nothing. I think no one should support this kind of customer service because it is wrong.

I purchased two GAP hoodies from designer outlet, and after only 2 weeks of wearing them (not even washed yet), the GAP logo started peeling and the stitching began coming apart. I requested an exchange before the 30-day return period ended, but was told I had to go back to the original store where I bought them by the Tsawwassen Mall staff. Unfortunately, that location is far and not convenient for me to travel to. For items showing quality issues so soon, I expected more flexibility and better customer service.

I had wonderful customer service experiences on three separate occasions when I called Gap’s Customer Service line! Each representative I spoke with was patient, kind, and genuinely helpful. Their warm tone made the conversations easy, and when something was unclear over the phone, they never hesitated to repeat or clarify information. Btw I used their customer service line 1(800) 427-7895.
The first time I called was to ask a clarifying question about the return policy—specifically how to distinguish between final sale items and items that were simply heavily discounted. Although I unfortunately forgot the representative’s name, he went above and beyond by checking each item in my cart individually to confirm whether it was final sale or returnable, which gave me great peace of mind.
The second time I contacted customer service was after purchasing several items and realizing I should have sized down. Since I was a bit confused about the exchange process, I called for assistance. The associate I spoke with was extremely attentive and diligent, and he went out of his way to create the exchange on his end so I didn’t have to worry about anything. All I needed to do was confirm the return label he sent to my email. Despite the number of items I needed to exchange, he handled the process quickly and thoughtfully, making the entire experience stress-free.
The third occasion, which happened today, was when I reached out because I hadn’t had the chance to add a few items to a return that was already scheduled to be shipped. Cesar, the customer service representative, resolved the issue quickly and even sent me a new return label. I was worried that my mistake would cause confusion, but he made the entire process seamless. Overall, he was incredibly kind and reassuring! Overall, every interaction left me feeling supported and happy, and I truly appreciate the care and kindness shown by Gap’s customer service team.

They refuse to accept a return for an item within 3 weeks of purchase because it was “final sale” even though THEY incorrectly sized the item to not fit according to their own size chart. Talked to manager in store and customer service on the phone. They are standing by their policy of lying about how sizes fit and refusing to accept returns when “final sale” is not easily visible when purchasing.

Received a sweatshirt for Christmas, and after trying it on, I decided to return it for a smaller size. Even with a gift receipt, I was denied a return because there was a small stain on the front, which I can only assume was there from new as I hadn't worn it. I will never shop at the Gap, and I will make sure everyone I know is told about their horrible return policy, as it sucks!

I will NEVER order anything from the Gap online again!!!! I returned 2 pairs of pants and have been on the phone with 4 people. All of them I couldn’t understand to get my money back on my credit card. I just got off the phone and the first 3 people I talked didn’t want my order number, couldn’t find my credit card. Then when I was sent to the 4th person I told them I would give them the order. Before this I told them my birthday, last 4 numbers of my social security card and my credit card number. Then finally they said I could have a merchant card. No way will I ever order from the Gap again. I told them I want it back on my card. Oh it’s only been 2 weeks really. They have the return and the amount on a gift card which I don’t want. I still don’t know if I’m going to get my money back.

I purchased 1 pair of jeans from Gap online. I ended up being charged for 3 pairs and received 3 pairs. They were supposed to fit as long pants, but came up to just below the knee. There is no Gap store in our area and they don’t allow returns to the Gap Outlet in our state. I had to pay $5 to get the shipping label printed at the UPS store for the returns and they would not reimburse the $18 for shipping. I am out $23 just because they sent me the wrong size pants. I will never purchase from Gap again.

I bought socks at the beginning of July in Costco. At the beginning of September, they began to slide off inside the shoes. I mostly wear dresses and stocking. In July and August, I wore GAP socks just a few times, and the elastic is already gone. Very low quality. The products are broadly advertised, but they are not worth it.

I used to shop at Gap both at the store and online and never had issues. Over a week ago, I ordered some sales items online and never got them. The UPS tracking # didn't even work. I got a confusing email from Gap stating the UPS label was prepared and the package was in transit. I waited a week and tried the tracking # but it didn't work. I called Gap yesterday and the rep assured me the package was still in transit. He didn't offer to ship me replacement items but escalated the issue for a refund. I received an email today that I was issued a refund for the items only... not for the shipping and taxes. I called them back and was the shipping and tax refund would be processed separately. Very weird and frustrating!

Worst experience ever. Didn't fulfill my order and now the sweatshirt my daughter ordered is sold out. Horrible condescending customer service and obviously poorly trained warehouse employees that pick wrong orders, then force them through so they can ship the order. I worked in a warehouse and when you pick an order you have to scan the items to the gun to fulfill the order. If an item is missing it won't complete the pick and you aren't able to close it and print a shipping label. Not to mention that they sent 2 completely off the wall items instead. I ordered 15 items. I GOT 16 ITEMS. Every item I ordered was a girls size large. The 2 items in I was sent in lieu of the one I ordered and didn't receive, were a man's size medium bottom up shirt and size 2 pair of black women's slacks. What an incredibly unprofessional company who are very poor at their jobs.

I went with my granddaughter to buy a dress. We ended up leaving without one. The staff was goofing around. Two girls were having very intense conversation ignoring the clients. One of employees, who was walking around looked at us a few times and walked away. On our way out I asked her if she saw that we needed help, she said yes with a smirk. We went to Dynamite, and have to say.... very different experience. Needless to say, I will not go back.

Ordered 5 items. Returned entire order (all 5 items) in same package. No refund. Called Gap. Was told to wait another week. Waited. Received refund for 3 items. Received another refund for 4th item. Called Gap again. Was told a ticket (or some similar ** was created). Still no refund for 5th item. Went online and read reviews. Many people reporting same experience. SCAM. Gap wants you to give up and they keep some of your money. What serious company issues separate refunds like this anyway? Gap used to be very reliable. Not now.

I have had issues with both of my two last packages. The first was sent to the wrong address. I never got it. They did refund my money on that. The second order was sent back to them from the shipper. They did not bother to give me a credit until I called them. They refused to replace it as the credit had not cleared yet, so I have nothing from them. By the time I get the credit, items will no longer be on sale and they might then not have my size. They did not care about the customer at all. Even the supervisor does not care. They will not do anything to help. I spent an hour on the phone for nothing.

Return policy is terrible as is customer service. I took online order to store to return/exchange, was told had to go through customer service. Customer service chat stated they could not process return/exchange/credit because past 30 days but that I could send to Thread up and if they wanted product they would send me a GAP store credit. They still have the product online and in the size I need exchanged. They have lost a customer (all brands) for life.

I would like to cancel my order because you are partnered with scammers at Super.com. After payment I saw a popup in your app offering a $20 cashback, but it turns out it's not cashback at all—it’s a subscription! There was no mention of this anywhere. To unsubscribe, I was required to call them because the “we are sorry to see you go” button is a fake. It's a deceptive way to get my money under the guise of a "misunderstanding." They have already charged me for a "trial," and now they refuse to delete my account, along with all my payment details. I trusted you as a customer, but this feels like a complete fraud.

I am submitting this as a warning to those who use the GAP website. GAP USED PAYPAL PAY-IN-4 TO CHARGE NOT ONLY THE FULL COST OF THE PURCHASE (ie. $60), BUT ALSO CHARGE 1/4 COST OF THE SAME PURCHASE AT THE SAME TIME (ie. $15) FROM OUR BANK (ie.$60 + $15= $75). To start at the beginning of my complaint: I placed an order on the GAP website. I used PayPal Pay-In-4. As you may know, PayPal Pay-In-4 divides the price of the purchase by 4, and the customer can pay for the purchase every two weeks until the purchase is paid. PayPal noted on their website that GAP not only deducted the full cost of the one item (ie. $60) purchased, but they also deducted the PayPal Pay-In-4 fee (ie. $15) from our bank. GAP was only supposed to charge the Pay-In-4 fee (ie. $15).
Our bank verified both deductions. GAP plaed a note on the PayPal website that GAP WILL HOLD ON TO BOTH DEDUCTIONS (ie.$60 + $15= $75) UNTIL THEY SHIP THE ITEM ----- so, GAP WILL HOLD ON TO MY MONEY UNTIL THE ESTIMATED SHIPMENT DATE THAT IS ABOUT 7 FULL DAYS AWAY. How does that make sense? Something is very wrong here. I purchased the item with the understanding that, as with other companies, I would be charged 1/4 of the cost of the item every two weeks until paid. In all the years that I've used PayPal, no other vendor from major well-known companies (global and domestic) have ever done that. PayPal has always been great.
GAP is the problem. I absolutely saw no commentary on their website that they would do this. Considering that there are other companies that sell more fashionable and better quality clothes, and that the economy is not so great, one would think that they would be on top of financial transactions. GAP, if a customer uses PayPal Pay-In-4, it's because they want to split the cost over the course of 8 weeks, not have their bank account charged twice for the same item, and have both charges for the same item held for 7 days. DO BETTER GAP.

I ordered a number of items online as Christmas presents for my grandchildren. One item of 10 was missing. It was part of a sweater pants set. I went to my local Gap and they told me it would be no problem to call up the Gap customer service number and they would drop ship the item rush delivery so I would have it by Christmas. My first reach out to customer service was via email "we will not refund you". I never asked for a refund, I asked for the item I paid for but was not delivered. One worker explained to me that when there are items that are separate, they are sometimes misinterpreted as a set and you only get 1/2 of the order. Another worker told me to just reach out to my credit card to deny payment. Basically, they hire a bunch of workers to say "I am so sorry this happened to you". I was told a supervisor would call me which never happened.
I finally got a supervisor who told me again, "I am so sorry this happened to you". Her name was Memory and she explained she has no authority to do anything but refund my money. This is now two days before Christmas and it would be random to give these little pants as a present without the top. The irony was that every interaction with GAP was mistake or a lie. First, the order was incorrect. The in store GAP sales rep told me that it would be very easy to call customer service and they would drop ship it which was a lie.
The second person I spoke with told me he would have a supervisor call me the next morning at 9 AM when they arrived, which was a lie. The third person also told me he would have a customer service supervisor call me the next day, which never happened. I guess I should've read between the lines when he said "just call your credit card and deny payment". Needless to say this added layer of stress to an already stressful holiday. I won't shop at Gap again. Oh, and Memory said "I will email you a discount coupon". Memory, shall I wrap that up and give it to my 3 yr old granddaughter?

I’ve had a horrible experience with Gap and their customer service. I made an order but needed to exchange 2 items. Gap makes you call to make an exchange and you must place a new order. So I spoke to someone about exchanging two items. I then get an email confirming my exchange except it was completely wrong. So I had to call back and place yet another order. When I received the new items, I then sent back the original ones and the incorrect ones I was sent. Fast forward 2 weeks and I get an email confirming my return… of only 2 items! I sent back 3 items! I have now contacted Gap numerous times to try to get this sorted and was finally told it was being escalated.

This was the worst experience I've ever had dealing with an online shopping order. I placed my order on the 8th of August.

They told me that the money was released and refunded but it wasn’t they took my money they cancelled the order and had to resubmit my order doubling the amount putting my account in the hole.
