    My bill was due on the 6th of June but I was harassed by people from Lane Bryant calling me telling me it was past due. It wasn’t and then when I went to pay it on the fifth the website said I had a scheduled payment ready. I just got an email saying it wasn’t paid. I only owed them $20 something and some change. They charged me $80 some dollars for what they said two months late. That’s crap. They did waive $36 and some change. Only charged 51. I don’t feel like I should’ve been charged anything being that. It wasn’t budging late when I tried to pay it and it was their websites that said I had a schedule appointment. They already had my credit card information on their end, showing that I had tried to pay it. Never using that card again and am never going to shop there!

    In January of 2023 I got a credit card to save $20 on Lane Bryant for two bras. I set up my account the automatic payments. I gather a letter in the mail saying that my payment was sent back. No matter what check account number you put in there it's wrong and they overcharge you fees. I expect they just do that cuz they want money. I have never had this problem with the bank before. I had to get my mom involved because I can't deal with that because of my disability. It just overwhelmed me. Community Bank is the worst bank ever. I would look up if it's through community before you get a credit card. If it is don't do that because they'll overcharge you fees for nothing.

    I’ve been a Lane Bryant credit card holder since 2017, during this time I have purchased all of my plus-size clothing and bras from ONLY this company! My credit limit was $1130 which I used to purchase all of my bras and work slacks with my card. I did only pay the minimum amount and occasionally a late fee. The issue is, the last time I paid them off, they lowered my card to $200 in January 2022 (keep in mind, my slacks cost $65/piece and I work 5 days a week, leaving nothing left on this credit line for bras.)

    I emailed them and said since they lowered my limit, I guess I would shop elsewhere. Although I had already placed an order for work pants. Paid it off and now in May, they have lowered it again to $100! If I’m paying your company with interest and an occasional late fee (which is just money in your pocket) why would you discourage a long-term customer from shopping with you?!! Called today after paying my $2 of interest to close my account! I will never step foot or shop with Lane Bryant ever again!!! Hope I can find bras and work slacks with same quality and fit just as good, because I’ll suffer to NEVER use this company again! AND I WILL NEVER REFER ANYONE TO THEM, I WILL ACTUALLY DISCOURAGE THEM!!

    I made purchases just under $500 and charged to my Lane Bryant account, then immediately paid it in full (before even leaving the store). After trying everything on, I realized I am now too small for most of their products. When I returned about half of the items (some I could keep and give as gifts), I was told they could not put my refund back on my debit card, but could only issue a store credit (which I now can't use). When I tried to get a refund from billing, they stalled saying my address needed to be updated (I live at the same place as I did way before opening this account). Even billing says they cannot put the funds back electronically, but can only resend a paper check...yet they can't seem to get my mail delivered to me! What a scam! Is this even legal? Worst customer service in billing EVER!!!

    So, this is more of a review of the company, not so much the quality as I am a first time customer who spent $100+ on my first order. It was said to be delivered but was not. Lane Bryant associate hung up on me. The live chat told me it was my fault that the address wasn't correct as if after 3 years living in a house I don't know my address. They were going to re-send it until they realized 2 of the items were now out of stock 10 days after I purchased. Been on hold forever trying to speak with management. Basically what I can see is this company has 0 concern for their customers or for honoring their word for that matter. Supervisors keep you holding forever in the hopes that you give up and hang up. So I guess I will keep giving Victoria's Secret my hard earned money. Victoria Secret 1. Lane Bryant 0

    I ordered two items from Lane Bryant. The original shipping date was delayed significantly (at least four weeks). I tried to find a way to change my shipping address due to the delay and I moved. I had zero success. I kept checking the order status and it consistently said it was being shipped. The date of shipping was always two weeks out from when I checked it. I finally reached out to customer service. First, they did reach out to me but called me Linda. My name is not Linda. I can forgive that, but no one ever contacted me after the initial contact. So, I never received what I ordered or a refund. I will not shop here again. I don't care how great their sales are.

    Lane Bryant claims to over hassle-free cross-border shopping. WRONG. If you need to return an item, you require a return authorization - but you cannot get it online and you cannot get it by email. There is no toll-free number. You must call a toll number and be placed on endless hold. I have tried three times - hung up after 30 minutes the first time, 25 minutes the second, and an hour the third time. On top of this ridiculously terrible service, the customer also has to pay the shipping costs for returns. I am mad as hell and will not be a repeat customer.

    I went to the store in Branson, Mo & they have a sign, MUST HAVE FACEMASK ON. I don't believe you should force customers to wear a facemask. It is optional outside, should be optional inside. We went in anyways & I asked why it is forced & the 1st lady said in a hateful way it is Lane Bryants policy if you expect to enter their store. She was super rude.

    When she realized it had irritated me she tried to make up for it & help me. By then, too late!!! I kept trying to walk away but she tagged behind me like a lost dog. Then everything I touched she took off the rack to "clean". I was looking at a pair of capris to go with an outfit & she grabbed one for me. Then looked at me & said, "Those won't fit you," like seriously!! Good job for making me feel disease infested. Then I asked another lady (Tina) about bra fitting & she nicely said, "I'm sorry but we can't right now." I get protecting your people but come on. People need to get back to normal.

The ladies were not very helpful after that and replied with well it's to protect us and well as you. I then asked if they would measure my daughter for a bra the answer was NO they could talk us thru it. My question is if they are afraid to help people and be the general public for their job and the benefit of the store/company why are they working? Maybe they should not be there at all until the COVID-19 is completely gone. I work with the public EVERY day and have continued to do so since this virus has come to light.

    When you get a Lane Bryant account, please be aware of the small print, the delayed billing cycle, lack of updating the computer system, inability to speak with a person when you call customer service, and the only way to pay is with a check. When I called to pay my full bill I was told an amount which ended up being incorrect so I billed a late fee. Nice right? They wouldn’t waive it. They would listen to my issue, they just said pay it. I had to go to the bank, get a bankers check (I moved and hadn’t opened a new account yet, go to the physical store (three towns away) because if I mailed it it would be late and I’d have to pay another late fee). Because their computer system hadn’t updated when I called I have to pay for that error. I’ve been a Lane Bryant customer for over 30 years and referred many people. No longer.

    I shopped twice in the Canoga Park Lane Bryant Store & made two separate orders with their .com. The store manager charged me $103.92 for the items I purchased. This is not my primary complaint, but the manager was impatient and sarcastic with me. I purchased several items, and she remarked, “Boy, you got several things today, does this mean we won’t be seeing you at the store anytime soon!? In all, I had 4 transactions with Lane Bryant, yet my bank record indicated they charged me for a 5th transaction that never took place; The $103.92 I mentioned above, was charged on August 5th, and a near duplicate charge of $103.90 was charged a few days later, on August 8th.

    My first call was to Lane Bryant Customer Service, to ask them to reiterate their records for the items & prices of the first and second duplicate transaction. The customer service agent I spoke with would only furnish information from the transaction on August 5th. I was told that their billing department would look into the complete information, & get back to me in 24 to 48 hours.

    I decided to call my bank, and after they confirmed that Lane Bryant charged these very similar amounts a few days apart, & it appeared to them as if it was likely an error on the part of Lane Bryant. They agreed to investigate this. In the meantime, I again spoke a day later with Lane Bryant, & was told they would submit this to be investigated by their billing department.

    Since this was already supposed to have been set in motion the previous day, I asked why they did not start the process the day I initially called? I was told that they had actually began it when I first called, but their billing department could not find any incorrect charges. They were now sending this to some higher up billing department to be looked at more closely. I was incredulous.

    I also noticed that many of the amounts the bank had listed from Lane Bryant were from two to ten cents higher than what showed on my receipts. When I inquired why, Lane Bryant said that sometimes the shipping or tax charges vary a little, so they always compensate back the customer when they see these small adjustments. This made no logical sense because when something is purchased through a company’s mail order, they base tax and shipping right away on the address they are provided.

    A call finally came from a person with Lane Bryant’s billing department. I was not home, but this message was left on my answering machine. “This is Lane Bryant Customer Service. We looked into the two charges you reported, and you made two separate purchases on different days for the exact same two items. Here is your reference number if you have any further questions.”

    Promptly, l phoned them. I gave the reference number to the customer service agent. After looking at the two transactions, she gave me a very different report than the official who’d left the message. She said that the first and second date were for the same transaction, & I had only been charged once. She went on to say that when they get an order, they don’t put the charge through immediately. After making sure the person’s card is valid, they only then pass the charge through.

    I assured her that I WAS charged twice per my bank’s report. As if she didn’t hear me, she said there must be some mistake because they only charged me once. After this call, I reviewed my receipts, and the computer print-outs of my purchases from their.com. I was shocked to notice something that foolishly eluded me during my transactions with them. While the person I spoke with kept telling me how much money I was saving because of their current sale, Lane Bryant’s receipts from their .com showed almost every item to be $10.00 more than what was their advertised prices. If there’s a class action suit, I’ll be the second person to join, & I’ll be calling my bank in the morning with this additional, disturbing information.

    I went in the Lane Bryant in Pembroke Gardens which in that area they claim to be fancier stores. Nevertheless, my mother and I were so shocked at the clothes there. I don't know who's doing the buying. But just because we are heavier women why should we have stoop to wearing what was displayed in that store. Unreal. It was like tacky thrift store clothes. Very disappointed. Someone needs to rethink that.

    I ordered two dresses on-line. I was told two dresses had arrived, but I only received one. When I called to let them know I was told the only way they could make sure I received both dresses was to cancel my order and re-issue a brand new order. To make a long story longer... I did receive both dresses. Now I have four dresses, need to return the original first two and I was told I lost my discount when I re-ordered. So they now cost $40.00 more. On top of that, I never received a return mailing label. It feels a little like the Keystone Cops pulled a bait and switch. I will not get involved with this store again.

    I ordered six bras and the company canceled my order. The excuse used was that they were out of inventory. Upon further review and an email to Customer Service (took 4 days for a response) I was told that they canceled my order due to pricing problems. This is UNACCEPTABLE!! You need to HONOR YOUR PRICING AND CUSTOMERS!

    The lost business, bad reviews, bad reputation ratings from false advertising, and voiced/proven dishonest nature are not going to be worth the few dollars that you missed out on from my one order. The bras weren’t free or even close so it will not be worth you losing my business and every other person that had their orders canceled by you. It also won’t be worth the list business from potential new customers that read my review.

    What happened to honesty in business? Oh yes, that’s right, it doesn’t exist. That’s our society today...Let’s see how much we can avoid doing what is right. Let’s lie because it’s considered ok now. Let’s skate on honoring pricing, principles, paying people that are due money, etc. etc. Just more action by big business to screw the little guy.

    I am not the type of person that ever writes an online review, though I do read them. I recently moved to a state which does not have any Lane Bryant stores, forcing me to order online. I have given this store a lot of my business as my charge card is almost maxed out. For the past 3 months I have ordered items online and about 2 days later I receive an email stating the items are not in stock. That screwed me because I purchased items that were buy one get one free, but because the exact number of items were supposedly out of stock, I did not receive any "free" items. I called a representative each time (which is a long ordeal in itself) who swore to me the items were in stock - I reordered each time just to receive the same email afterwards saying what I ordered is not in stock.

    It is unbelievable to me that a large company as this cannot get their "crap" together and update their website in a timely manner. I just looked at their site again and noticed the same "out of stock" items are still listed on their site with price increases now. For the heck of it I tried to place an order again with the same items I tried to order 3 months ago and once again they are "out of stock" - then why are these items still on your site? I've never been so frustrated in my life and I'm done trying to order anything from them ever again. As an RN, if I showed this much incompetence at my job, I would have been fired.

I thought it might just need to adjust to my body shape, but this only got worse after washing. Lesson learned, do not buy their cotton bras without trying them on in the store. Second, I also took extra OT at work to get a new puffer jacket from them that was navy blue with blue stars. Looks gorgeous, it's now March and there's a defective tooth in the zipper in the boob area. I looked online and there is literally no return policy for defective merchandise.

Mic Drop" which offered the very same jacket I just purchased for $124.00 for $70.00—a significant price reduction of $54! I called to ask if LB would honor a price adjustment. The online customer service person told me that they could not reveal their price adjustment policy and that it is an "internal policy." I was told that they will not make a price adjustment on a purchase if a coupon had been used—which is why I purchased the jacket in the first place. SO, now, instead of adjusting the price on my jacket, I will have to return the jacket and repurchase the jacket. This is ridiculous and infuriating on several levels.

    BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE to sell a jacket one week and then send me an email the following week promoting the slashed price. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE to tell a long-time customer that you can't share the adjustment policy. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE to make a customer return and repurchase the same item.

No that sale is over (I just heard an ad for it on Pandora a few minutes ago btw) now it’s $25 clearance bras and $35 doorbuster. I was fitted and left. The next day I come back and there was a sign out front that said B2G2 free of $25 bras! I chose 8 bras and was told oh no they are $25 apiece...but here’s a sign outside that says...no they are $25 apiece. Not 5 minutes later I hear the sign being taken down! Prior to being told the sale didn’t exist, I, and another customer (who’d also seen the sign outside), heard a lady buy 8 and get them for $100! Other women were asking about sales and non sales as well because their advertising is misleading and deceptive. I bought 4 bras instead but in my head I knew I’d be contacting corporate.

    The Same day I emailed them. I explained everything above AND sent a pic of the space where they’d taken Down the sign. A couple of days later I received a form letter response that had nothing to do with my complaint. Unhappy, I wrote back and I was told by Michael ** the store management would be notified. I still haven’t heard anything; therefore, I’ll be needing a refund of my $136.14.

After several attempts to figure out what was going on with customer service rep Ayanna I finally asked to speak to a manager.

And that I should call my bank and dispute the charge, So let me get this straight - your website lets me place an order, charges me but I have no items and there's nothing you will do about it. So from the moment I placed my order (which secures my items) to the moment they "magically" find my order they are out of stock ALL 3. How is this possible? This has to be the worst company I have ever tried to purchase from. This was my first time and clearly my last.

    I'm just so dumbfounded on how the items I just paid for are out of stock yet while I was on the phone with Ayanna and Thomas all 3 of my items were still available according to their website. I will be calling Tuesday morning to Thomas's manager Adena and put in several complaints and if she is just as rude as the other two I will just continue to climb the corporate ladder until someone at this company redeems themselves and fixes this massive problem so no other women has to be robbed by Lane Bryant like I just was.

I e-mailed their customer service about it and never heard a word back.

    I did return the full-priced bra, along with everything else I hadn't already worn. So now I'm wearing those bras (same style, different colors) and I'm getting REALLY tired of having them come completely unhooked. It's seriously embarrassing and annoying to come out of a work meeting only to discover you are completely unhooked and "loose". A few minutes ago I had to sit at my desk and try to hook myself back up because I can't go flapping out into the hallway to the restroom.

    And my activity today that caused it to come unhooked? Sitting at my desk typing a report. They come unhooked when I walk, when I try to put on a coat or sweater, when I sit at my desk. And they've already stretched out so much they're on the inside set of hooks. The WHOLE POINT of going to Lane Bryant was to get a quality bra that fit well. The shoulder strap adjustment slider things sitting right on my collar bones which is painful.

    So, save yourself the money and aggravation - I'll go back to buying inexpensive bras at Target or Macy's. At least those last longer than 3 weeks. Oh, and the entire time the clerk was getting ready to ring the sale, she kept pushing me to open a credit card. NO. NO. NO. Stop asking. Maybe ask if we had a good experience. Maybe don't tell me AFTER the sale is rung up that I can't return the sale bras. Really bad experience and it'll keep me out of their stores from here forward. Too much aggravation.

    This is a horrible company with bad customer service! First experience I bought an item with the Lane Bryant Credit Card and paid off the credit card. I wasn't satisfied with the item so I asked for a refund. They said NO! They could only give me store credit, I was forced to get something I couldn't use! I was out $14 small amount I took it as a loss! During that same time I had purchased a bathing suit online 7/9. I needed it by a certain date, the delivery date from the tracking number said delivery date 7/17 . On 7/18 I received a email saying my package was at the West Covina store and if not picked up by 8/1 it will be returned. I didn't pick up the item since I didn't need it after all. The store failed to return it back!!! I reached out to Lane Bryant via chat on 8/15 about a refund, that's when they informed me the item was at the store! He said he will ask the store to return the item and process my refund. It will take 7-10 business days.

    I contacted them again 8/22, another agent said the item wasn't shipped back to the warehouse until 8/18 three days later from my initial request! He said the refund will not be processed until the item is delivered on 8/24. It will take 7-10 business days from the time it is delivered!!! He said he couldn't expedite anything. I have to wait until 9/1 for a refund! I asked to have a manager call me, he gave me an 800 number to call!!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    I purchased a bra within that last few months from Lane Bryant and the metal wire started to come through the side. I never had this happen to me in the past as I was always happy with Lane Bryant's bras. I brought the bra into the store to see if they could replace it and they could not as I did not have my receipt. I asked if she could look me up in the system and the store manager said she could not find anything. I said, "Well I know I purchased it in April", and she replied that they don't keep the information for that long. I said, "So does this mean I am out of luck?" She replied, "Yes". I then said I wanted the number to the corporate office and she said it was on the back of my Lane Bryant card.

    I called the main office and the game of He Said, She Said began. At the end of the day, the main office could not help me because I did not buy it online and it was up to the store to help me. I will never buy a Lane Bryant product again. I have been a faithful customer for over 10 years and I was treated like I did something wrong. Paying over $40 for a bra that only lasts two months is absurd.

Finally the last person told me that there is nothing they could do but that I could try and call where my bill comes from and maybe they could help. Really? They want me to call.

    I ordered a shirt in-store to be shipped to home. My current address was verified. I get an email confirmation and the "ship to address" was a place I have not lived for nearly 10 years. I called customer service immediately. I was initially told there was nothing that could be done until the item is returned to them by the unintended recipient, assuming it was ever even returned to sender. The biggest issue here is that the item purchased had not even left the warehouse yet. I escalated the call to a supervisor because that is unreasonable. I was told I would get a refund, but to get the refund I had to reorder and pay again. I was frustrated but reordered. I did get my reordered item. However I have yet to receive my refund from the botched first order. I was told initially I would see it returned to my credit card within 3-5 days. That never happened.

    I called Lane Bryant CS and was told it was an issue with my credit card company. I called them and they had no record of any pending refund. I was told by the credit card company I had to wait 10 business days to be able to dispute the duplicate charge. I then emailed Lane Bryant CS to let them know and was told I would be mailed a check "right away". That was 9 days ago, I still have no check. I emailed Lane Bryant CS again to inquire about the refund and was told my check was scheduled to be mailed 2 days from now and then I should have it in 7-10 days. Ridiculous. By the end of this it will take over a month to be refunded for a store error. Assuming I ever even receive a check. Luckily the money amount was not substantial. Never again will I shop at Lane Bryant, they have lost yet another long time customer. Their policies are not consumer friendly.

Customer service told me my jacket was never ordered but remind you I have my tracking number and my receipt and the lady told me at Lane Bryant that my jacket will be in 5 to 7 business days...now who's telling a LIE.

    On Friday, 12/30/16 I placed an order around 7 pm PT, trying to take advantage of a sale on basics (bras, panties, etc.). I waited for an email confirmation to come in but none came. I tried to call but they keep East Coast hours and were "unavailable" when I called. In order to assure I got the substantial savings of the sale, and because there was no confirmation, I place the same order again; this time using a different credit card (just in case but I knew my card was good).

    First thing when I woke up the next morning I planned on calling them to find out what was going on. It was 8:30 am PT and I saw that only 2 hours earlier I had received the confirmation email for the first order... 12 hours LATE!!! I called and got some guy in customer service who was super dense and I had to explain the situation over and over. He finally "got it" but then told me he didn't think he could stop the order because he didn't think he could reach shipping. I thought that was crazy... what online company can't reach their shipping dept. Further, they had not put the charge through and he acknowledged it had not been shipped. So there was time to stop it. Believing I was getting a run-around I called my bank (the card I used for the second order) and they agreed to block the charge. Lane Bryant just pushed the charge through when it got blocked the first time. This all happened on Tuesday, 4 days after I'd ordered.

    Lane Bryant admitted they had a delay in email confirmations going out. This is something I notice in many of the other reviews here. They had ample time to stop my order. Their incapability to do so speaks only of an organizational problem at their end. They tried to blame me saying "You should have called us first before placing that second order." But of course, they were unavailable that night and the sale would have been over by the time they were available again. When I mentioned that I would have to get the charge reversed if they wouldn't stop it, they challenged me to try. (Note: Bank of America has already noted my account that they will). Both orders are coming. I will have to return one. But after going through all this and the snide, "we don't give a darned" attitude I got from Lane Bryant's customer support, I will probably never order from them (at least online) again.

So again we called another rep, said she would waive the fee if we made a phone payment, and would cancel the card and reissue.

    Now today we received a letter from the bank that issues cards for Lane Bryant that because of a recent past due amount our account has been closed and no card replacement would be issued. What a scam. This company has gone so far down hill from the 1970's - 1990's. I used to shop at many locations for work clothes and special events, but times have changed and so has Lane Bryant.

    I have been shopping Lane Bryant for over 20 years and never ever ever had an issue with a return until today. I wanted to do an even exchange on a shirt for a smaller size that I had just purchased the day before. When I initially tried it on, it fit with the bra that I was wearing at the time but after trying it on again this morning to wear to work I realized that the arm holes hung so low that you could see my bra and pretty much everything else. I changed my clothes and on my lunch break wanted to simply get the next size smaller. I took the tag off but kept it and the receipt and tried to exchange the shirt. The lady allowed me to exchange it but she was incredibly rude and nasty to me saying that they don't accept exchanges or returns if the tag has been removed. I didn't realize this because I have been doing this for over 20 years without issue.

    I did read the return policy after that and it does say at the bottom that at the store's discretion they can refuse a return if the tags are removed but I didn't even wear it. The tags were there. All they had to do was put them back on and put it back on the rack. It isn't like it costs them anything and nothing was wrong with the shirt except it was too big and clearly I was just getting a size 14 instead. Any other time I have made exchanges both at Lane Bryant or any other store on the planet they are more than happy to do an even exchange with the tags or even if I have lost the tags. It isn't like it was a party dress or gown where someone might wear it once and return it. I didn't even want money back. I just wanted a smaller $11 ** shirt.

    She berated me in front of customers and made me feel like I was doing something wrong. There are two other Lane Bryant stores by me and the workers at those are super sweet and have never had a problem with an exchange or return. Considering that I spend thousands in this overpriced store each year I would think they could treat their customers a little more professionally. I will never go to this store again.

    An account was opened for discount purchases. Original bill was paid. New charges were made later. New account was sent to wrong address, never received actual card for later purchases. Statements were sent to wrong address. Not knowing account was processed to collection agency, received notice of past due payments and late charges. Called customer service number, paid past due amount plus balance due... Plus late charges. In the future sales personnel should research correct address... Will not be shopping at Lane Bryant in the future.

    I bought 45.00 bra and after 5 months the wire broke. I asked for them to replace it and they said they could not replace it and for me to hand wash and line dry bras. I told them that's how I clean my bras. I felt that this was handled badly.

    Well got my bras I order with no free ones. Should of been two just like the ones I order. I order the same ones so I didn't hear you have to buy the same ones to get two free and I didn't get them anyways. I'M not putting them on my order so they could charge my order for two more. Don't think so. It should of been automatically put in two more bras. Then I was reading the reports today. Omg I didn't know they are only 1 1/4 stars. Wow... That is sad. Never order from them again. And all the other stories. Wow. Have to start really watching our checking account to make sure they don't take money out for a few more times... Wow...

    I decided yesterday to go to the Lane Bryant website to order some items for my wife for Christmas. I decided on four items which came to $126.04 and proceeded to the checkout. The website then claimed there was an issue with processing my card and try another form of payment. At that time, I attempted to use Paypal, and the site said there was an issue communicating with Paypal. I contacted customer service who told me that I was using the wrong web browser and that I needed to use either Firefox or Explorer. At that time I attempted using Firefox and got the same message. I then attempted to place the order over the phone and was told that my card had been declined.

    I pulled up my account and found that LB had charged me four separate times for the purchase, and they claimed they had no record of an order or having charged me. I then spent an hour on a conference call between LB and my bank and the LB representative continuously said that they had no record of a transaction or having charged my card and was rather rude throughout the process. I requested to speak with a manager and that request was refused. Afterwards, I found out that one of my wife's friends had the exact same thing happen to her several years ago and was never reimbursed one of her charges. I cannot say how disgusted I am at this point with this company and I can assure you that I will never set foot in one of their stores again. If their building was on fire, I'd ensure the safety of the surrounding buildings before roasting marshmallows over the LB sale display.

    I have been a faithful customer of Lane Bryant for years. However after my last two purchases I will be shopping elsewhere. I bought a t-shirt in Lane Bryant in Meridian, MS a month ago. I washed it on delicate cycle in cold water. When I hung the shirt to dry I noticed 3 pinholes in the fabric. Hoping this was just a bad shirt, I returned to the same store a couple weeks later and purchased 2 more t-shirts, which were now on the clearance rack. Upon washing these, one of them came out with another hole. The quality of Lane Bryant clothing is no longer worth the price.

    I got "conned" into signing up for a Lane Bryant account on the auspice of getting credits for discounts and such. The result is that ANY discount I may have received is not worth the headache of shopping at a disreputable retailer! I am in the practice of using the card to obtain the credits and/or points and then paying the bill immediately while I am in the store so I do not pay interest! I have spent the last 3 months trying to convince "Comenity" (the company that handles the billing for their credit card) that I paid a bill at the store and this "mystery" charge that appeared on my bill that showed up on my card was for products that I did not purchase and do not own!

    I will NEVER shop a Lane Bryant again because that this could happen makes me extremely uncomfortable. I have never had a retail store bill me for stuff I did not purchase before. This is a horrendous practice, and the fact that they did not pull the security camera data (which I requested) to clarify this issue just tells me that they do not value their customers. BEWARE and STAY AWAY from Lane Bryant. If you just HAVE to shop at this retailer - just be aware that you will want to STAY AWAY from their credit card. What good are the discounts when they will "arbitrarily" charge you for goods you did not purchase anyway? Better yet - go to Macy's because their clothing is made much better anyway!

    On 08/30/2015 the cashier had me slide my card on one machine. She claimed the transaction did not go through and then had me slide my card on another machine. When I got home I checked my account and was charged twice. I called the store and the girl claimed that she did not know how to operate the new system and could not locate the transaction, and to call back in the morning. I went to the store the next morning, so that the manager could research it. She gave me the same story as well claiming that she would "research" the transaction. I decided to call the district manager and she requested that I prove that they took my money.

    After four days, several trips to the bank, and various phone calls I was finally issued a refund. However, the store manager was extremely rude about giving me back the money she owed me. I asked for a receipt and she said "I think you are harassing me." I told her "You stole from me" and she said "Get out of my store". I have never been treated so rude by a company that made a mistake in my life. They still have not explained how the transaction came out of my bank, but disappeared on their system.

    I purchased a 2 piece swimsuit online 5 months ago. I paid $70.00 and didn't wear it until a month later. I used it a total of 10 times at that.

I had to go and purchased another swimsuit in the gift shop where I was staying that cost me $50.00. I contacted Lane Bryant online per their request along with pictures.

    The response I received was we strive to provide our customers with quality products and was very sorry but because it has been 5 months since the purchase they are unable to assist me but are offering me 25% off my next order. It's very sad that as consumers that we can get screwed for them striving to put out a good product. My recommendation is not to shop Lane Bryant.

    On Tuesday July 28, 2015 @ 3pm I returned to Levittown Lane Bryant store after having had the unfortunate experience of buying a lot of items - paid for them but realizing when I got home that one of four undergarments I purchased was not in my bag. Immediately I called the store and a store manager told me come in anytime and they would give me the missing underwear.

    However much to my surprise on that Tuesday July 28th at 3pm I had the unfortunate pleasure of speaking to store manager Ayana who told me "NO" she could not give me the one missing item that was not put in my bag because she needed another manager there and today she was working alone. She needed them to roll back the camera to verify if they saw that one of the undergarments was left on the counter because she could not take my word for it. She humiliated me and talked down to me as if I were a petty thief trying to make a score on one undergarment. I told her I spoke to a manager on the phone. She wanted the name. I didn't take their name - didn't think I would need it.

    She told me she recognized me from another Lane Bryant she worked at and knew I was a regular customer for years but it didn't matter - still no can do. She told me instead to drive back to the store another day (imagine waste my gas and my time for one undergarments) but before call to verify all members of the staff were available then come in and they would roll the camera back to that day and maybe then they would give me the missing undergarments.

    I have been a loyal customer for many many many years, I have six daughters and all shop at your stores with me, without me and we gift exchange with each other and compare different styles and looks all the time. I have never been so inconvenienced and felt so insulted in all the years doing business with your company.

    I went to Lane Bryant Hell today. I received a reward check in the mail from Lane Bryant for 40 dollars. And also next day received a packet of coupons for 30% a full price item and another for 30% off of a bra. Went to my local store, found a shirt for $59.95 and a bra for $36.95. Asked the clerk if I could use the coupons and my reward check, to which she said yes.

    Now here is where it gets strange. The clerk demanded I pay for each item separate. So she rang up the bra, applied the coupon and charged it. Then she rang up the shirt applied the coupon but then told me I didn't spend enough to use the 40 reward check and I would need to buy another item. HUH??? I tried to ask her why as I felt I had spend enough as I bought the bra. She got ugly with me and I told her, “Fine, I would add another item and complain to the district manager later.” At which point she yelled, “Well, here is my manager.”

    The manager then took over and I don't know what she charged to me. I had already changed the bra and all of a sudden the register was spitting out a long receipt. I tried to discuss it with her but to no luck. So avoid the Green Bay Wisconsin Lane Bryant Store. The manager seems to be best friends with some of her staff. They are large and in-charge. Would not listen to me and I fear messed up the whole transaction. I do plan to try to reach out to corporate on Monday. THEY ARE NUTS IN THAT STORE!!

There was a msg that they're doing a total overhaul on their site and that it would be fixed soon, but to bear w/ them. I created my order and edited it a few times to get the msg I wanted on the card (it kept cutting me off) and then placed the order. I went to lunch and when I returned there was a vmail from their "verification" center, asking me to call them to verify my purchase. I did that and no one responded (after 1-hr).

    I then did an online chat w/ customer service and they couldn't help me, saying I needed to work w/ verification dept. I then called customer service and they also told me that. I then said that I guess they don't want my $ so to please cancel my order and send me an email to confirm the cancellation. It's over 24-hrs since my order and I still have not heard anything from the verification people. I didn't get my confirmation of the cancellation until many hrs later.

He asked for my return card that I was supposed to have along with the receipt. I explained I had never received such a card and he snottily told me “I don't know who rang you up originally but this receipt is useless. I can't apply the credit.” Again, I told him I didn't have the card but my receipt should still be accepted and applied towards my purchase.

    I am a single mom of three on a limited income. I have purchased bras for a long time from Lane Bryant because they are the only place that I can find that they will fit. The problem I have is they never go in washer, always washed by hand and yet the wires still break and you can not fix them. I only get to purchase things from here when I have extra money, normally between Feb and April because they are so expensive. I called customer service at one point to inquire about their wires breaking and to give some input on maybe they should somehow figure out how to buy (for cheap) replacement wires or possibly come up with a flexible wire of some sort and I know that may sound unrealistic to some, but so many things are invented everyday it could be worth looking into.

    Well the girl basically laughed in my ear and let's just say when she did that, she got an earful. I wasn't mean or rude when I first got on the phone but you're customer service, you are supposed to be there to help a customer with whatever questions, concerns, whatever they may have and to blatantly laugh at someone for a suggestion they make is just rude in itself. Honestly if someone could point me in the direction of another company that makes bigger size bras that aren't rude and nasty, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I was in the States and bought some clothes at Lane Bryant on my new LB card because they offer great discounts. I then tried to pay the bill on my LB card with my Visa. This works fine in Arizona, but neither terminal was able to do it in WA. Very frustrating as this is what I have always done in the past to keep things simple since I was cross border shopping.

    Since I had not been able to pay it off immediately, my balance statement arrived the following month. One of the options for paying your bill is opening an internet account. I opened an acct, and when I tried to pay the bill, I wasn't able to because the service isn't offered to Canadians. But they do not tell you until the end when it fails.

    This morning I tried to use another option and pay by phone. It wasn't until the very end that the representative discovered that my postal code could not be accepted. Again - this service is not available to Canadians, but I have to waste 15 minutes of my time and give my credit card info over the phone first. I checked the LB website, can ORDER clothes and have them delivered to me by paying on my credit card, or Paypal, but I cannot make a PAYMENT on my account that way. My only option is to mail a cheque to Texas. My Lane Bryant bill is the only bill I have that I cannot pay electronically. Crappy service LB, next time I cannot pay off my bill in the store, I will cancel my sale and shop elsewhere.

It was a pair of silk pajamas (top $44.95, bottoms $39.95), robe ($59.95), and slippers ($29.95). All items still had price tags intact and placed in the red Lane Bryant gift box. When the sales associate asked me for receipt I told her I had none because these were a Christmas gift. She scanned each price tag but they did not ring up or show in their system. She asked had they been purchased in an out of town store and I told her I had no idea that they were a gift. She then placed a call to her manager and the solution they came up with was to offer to give me $6.98 per item. I refused. Are you kidding me? $27.92 for merchandise priced at a total of $174.80. To begin with the silk pajamas were a size too big the least they could have done was offer me a store credit. What's the use in purchasing an item if it can't be returned cause it doesn't fit?

    I totally agree with other consumers that already posted their dissatisfaction with this company. By doing business the way they do they are giving to all of us customers the bad impression that their stores are not doing so good... First they surprised us sending us coupons in the mail! You turn the coupon around and it has so many exceptions, that you will be extraordinarily lucky if you could redeemed it! One being that if the store has, what they call "flash sale" or any kind of discount, you cannot use the coupon! Well... they have sales every day!

    Another questionable action by Lane Bryant, is how could it be that different kinds of items, of even different qualities, are all priced at $39.95? Some merchandise starting at this price is very overpriced! We consumers noticed all of this, I think Lane Bryant is insulting our consumer's intelligence! Then let's talk about its employees... most of them are very rude, even the so-called managers, with the attitude that the customer is always 'WRONG'!

    Just go to the back of the store and look at the large amounts of leftover merchandise set up for clearance... but remember: YOU CANNOT USE THE COUPON ON CLEARANCE ITEMS!!!! Hahaha! Just looking at the racks full of clearance merchandise gives you a perfect idea as of the bad business decisions upper management must be making, instead of selling their line of clothing for a lower price from the start, and allowing the use of their own coupons for clearance items, this way lowering their inventory of old merchandise and clearing space for new items. If Lane Bryant will continue its campaign of sending coupons in the mail and then not honoring them, I suggest that all of us large size women should start our own campaign, and "return to sender" the coupons with the word ‘unusable’ written across!

    I ordered a bra online. It cost me almost $12 for shipping. When it wasn't as described, and didn't fit, I returned it to a local store to avoid paying even more shipping charges. They took it back but said the refund to my account will take 4 weeks! I'll never order from this store again. I do a lot of online ordering and have never had to wait this long for a refund.

    I have been shopping online and at store for the past 15 years. Just brought back a $95.00 dress for credit. Did not realize that the return policy for in-store policy differs from online purchase. They were only able to credit my account $20.00 because it was past due for in-store credit. I will never shop at store again... only online from here on in.

    The manager of one month instructed an employee to watch me enter the bathroom. Then I asked when I came out a few minute later, "Do you need to check my bag?" which I had gotten from Lane Bryant. Then three days later they started harassed my daughter who worked there for one year and never had any complaint and they force her to quit, but she was fine as long as she made 5000 in sales. This place is so petty and such liars trying to sabotage my daughter from getting another... all for what? Because I called customer service on that day May 24, 2014. Women who had spent a thousand for their purchases. I purchase 400 in two days and they didn't mind me spending cash. I hold a credit card and so does my daughter. She just finish her clinicals and they made sure she only got ten hours for two weeks. Lane Bryant hates to see young women trying to work part time and attend school full time. Daughter graduated on the 19 of May 2014 and she held a 4.0 GPA and National Honor Society. She loved working for those jerks and made them a lot of money. Bunch of liars and **.

    Last week I ordered 2 bras online during the Buy Two Get Two Free promotion. I ordered the same item in 2 different colors. Website did not prompt me to add any additional items for the promotion so I believed I would automatically get them. I even went back to the website after the order was placed, took a screen shot of the bras with the promotional banner underneath the item, just in case this happened.

    Of course I did not get my items and when I called the day after delivery, was given a number of excuses and lies. First I was told I had to place an additional item in the cart when ordering to get the free ones. Second that the bras ordered were not part of the promotion. Third that the bras ordered were no longer on sale and that I could buy them again under the new promotion of Buy One Get One 1/2 Off. When I told them I would sue, suddenly it was technical issues. This company has taught and encouraged its employees to lie to the very people that keep them in business! I was so pissed, I told them I would see them in court... and I will! False advertising is false advertising. I will NEVER again buy one of their products!

    Been shopping there ten years. I still have some of those clothes from ten years ago. Now the clothes are so cheap. They either shrink, stretch, fade, mysteriously get holes or smell. Yes, smell. Just got a top there that stinks so bad I have washed it ten times. Worst part is I keep coming back for more abuse. There clothes are not made with a plus sized woman in mind... All materials should be pre shrunk. This part put me over the edge. I have a 100 credit line there. I go to pay my bill over the phone and they charge $15 to pay your bill.

    The nearest Lane Bryant went out of business and I am not into putting my bank routing numbers online... because you have to run the payment like a check not like credit. So I tell the lady that’s absurd - I’m not paying 15 dollars to pay my bill. If I weren't trying to build my credit I would have closed that credit card. I watch my credit like a hawk, and it has remained steady for months. I used the card last month and when they reported to my credit report my score dropped 35 points. I paid it off and am done with Lane Bryant. I went next door to Kohl’s and found tee shirts that were cheaper and better quality. Plus, the clothes are ugly. They look to be designed by men or very frumpy ladies.

    I have been a shopper of Lane Bryant for several years now, both online and at various Indiana stores. I read through some of the complaints on here and do not find many of them reasonable. If you enter any store and need help, ask. Sales people may be free during some times to come around and ask customers if they need help, other times they may be tied up and not able to do so. I have worked retail for many years and it is impossible to be everywhere a customer wants you to be. Also, I cannot believe some of the issues with credit cards. If you open a new account and don't see a bill for several months, you waited too long to try to pay a bill you know that you have. Why not pick up the phone and call the store or 1-800 number? If you have a payment due over the weekend and can't make it in because you are sick or had a family emergency, why not go online or call in to make a payment? Finally, if you have an issue that needs to be addressed, do so in a respectful manner.

    Retail associates oftentimes get blamed for things they cannot control. Kindness and understanding will get you a lot further with them than yelling and being angry. Store associates do not make the rules. They sometimes are able to extend some favors based upon where they work, but there is no sense in complaining to them about the way things work. You need to take your concerns to management. I called this morning after trying to place an online order. One of my real woman dollar codes would not work online. The associate who answered the phone did not hassle me over the code not working, she simply did whatever she needed to on her end to ensure I got the discount to which I was entitled. This is typical of my experience with Lane Bryant. In another instance, I had my online order shipped to the wrong store inadvertently. The store manager picked up my package and brought it to the nearest store. She offered to do so, I did not have to ask. Great customer service if you ask me!

    A year or so ago, I allowed a salesperson to talk me into a credit card with LB. My credit was damaged in a divorce, so it seemed a good way to shore it up. I've never put more than about $100 at a time on it. My finances are still difficult and on occasion, I've had to pay a couple of days late. NEVER more than a week. They have VERY aggressive collections personnel and I'm aware of that, so I strive to always pay on time. This past weekend, I was very sick with a fever all weekend. My payment was due on Saturday. Sunday Morning, their collections called me at 7AM!! 7AM on Sunday Morning because the payment was 7 hours late!!!! When I answered they hung up. I was so furious I called the number back to see who it was. The 2nd call came in before 9:30. I'm canceling my card and will no longer shop at this store. There are plenty of pretty clothes available in my size, 14, from other sources without all this annoyance and disrespect.

    On Saturday December 21st I placed an order online. At that time it was advertised express shipping was $7.95, typically $20.95. I thought this was a great deal so I went through with the order. I was having it shipped to my mother's address. So the billing address was my address in PA and the shipping was my mother's in NY. Shortly after the order was placed I received an email confirmation verifying this info. On December 24th I logged on to the UPS website to see where the package was and to my horror the package was scheduled to be delivered to me that day. I quickly tried to correct this problem by having the package rerouted to my mother and of course I couldn't, only the shipper could do this.

    So I waited until 8am to contact the Lane Bryant customer service department and got a rep named Gerald. I explained to Gerald what the problem was, just as I did above. I also mentioned that I was overcharged for shipping. I was charged 20.95, not the 7.95 that was advertised. Gerald informed me there was nothing that could be done. The package was going to be delivered and I should have called sooner. I asked Gerald if he could have the package rerouted to NY. I tried to do this prior to calling him, but was unable to do so because I was not the shipper. He informed me that they don't work with UPS. Once UPS has the package, it is up to the customer to work with them, which I find I odd.

    I am Lane Bryant's customer, not UPS'. So I told Gerald that I needed the package to go to NY. There had to be a way to get the package there. To which he told me that I should have verified what I entered when placing the order. I told him that I did. I had the email confirming that I had entered the correct shipping address. Something at their warehouse must had went wrong when printing the label. He interrupted me and said you continue to say that this is our problem but it's not, you did this.

    At that point I had enough. I wasn't asking for a miracle, rather I was asking for someone to help me. Clearly Gerald didn't want to do this. I am intelligent and know that the package, even if it was rerouted, would not get to my mother that day. I never once asked for this to happen. I just wanted it to get to her eventually. So, I asked Gerald to transfer me to someone else. He said it's a limited group because of the holiday and a supervisor would have to call me back at another time. I didn't want a supervisor, just someone else, someone that would attempt to help me.

    He then told me that he was going to tell me something that I didn't want to hear, but he needed to say it "there is no way on God's green earth that that package will get to NY today". That statement right there told me 2 things.... Gerald hadn't listened to anything I was saying and he clearly missed, if it was even given, sensitivity training. I told Gerald that I didn't think God had anything to do with my package and to transfer me to another rep. Now after being on hold for over 5mins I get Brian. Again he informs me they can't contact UPS. It's not something they do. And UPS doesn't reroute to another state. So he now tells me to log back into UPS' website and have the package returned to sender. Once he sees the package is on its way back he will credit me in full, even shipping.

    I tell Brian that doesn't resolve my problem. My mother still needs to get something from me. But ok, so I log into UPS and try what he suggested and of course only the shipper can do this. I tell Brian and he tells me to refuse the package. I won't be home and can't. Brian can't think of anything, keeps telling me there was nothing else he could do. So I ask is there anyway you could contact the store in my mother's city and see if they will allow me to place an order and have someone pick it up there. I need to use my card, so if you call maybe they will do that. Brian informs me they won't let you use your card over the phone. So I say well if you call and explain the situation and you being a fellow employee maybe they will help us. Brian tells me he is confused about why he would call. I repeat myself and tell him again you would do this because that's what customer service is about... thinking outside the box. He tells me he can't call the store.

    So now I am beyond annoyed. I have wasted 45mins and have gotten nowhere. I tell Brian to credit me the difference in shipping. I was overcharged by 13 dollars. After hanging up with Brian, I called the Lane Bryant store in Syracuse NY. Penelope answers. I ask Penelope if there was a way to place an order.... that's all I say before she cuts me off and tells me her manager is on a conference call and won't be available for 15mins. I tell her I haven't asked her anything yet. I ask her if I placed an order online today, would it be possible to have in store pick up the same day. I told her I have seen this offered on the website before, I just don't know where it is. Penelope tells me she doesn't know. So now I'm confused....

    I ask if she can just help navigate me. She tells me she doesn't know the website. So annoyed I reply you work in the store, but don't know how to navigate through the website. She tells me "I am at the cash register in front of customer that are trying to spend money." Hmmm... ok. Well I have already spent money and was needing to spend more. I tell her to have her manager call me. Allison, the store manager, calls me. Within 10 mins Allison finds an outfit picked out, in my mother's size. She had it set aside, so when my brother got off of work he could pick it up.

    The experience I had with 3 of their reps is inexcusable. If it were 1 rep or even reps from the area of customer service I would think differently. However I was treated poorly by 3 reps at different levels. It wasn't the error in shipping that was the problem. It was the lack of help I received when trying to get it resolved. And to keep being told that I was the reason the problem occurred, as if placing blame on me changes the fact that there is still a problem. As of today, 8 days later I still have not received a credit for being overcharged in shipping. Also I sent an email to customerservice@lanebryant.com 3 days ago and have not received a response. Today I forwarded my email to them and still nothing.

    I desperately needed a strapless/clear straps bra and I had gotten one in the store before. When I was looking, an employee asked me what I was doing there. I told her I had gotten a strapless bra there before and I needed another one that day. I told her I had found a 36DDD and was looking for another. She told me that they don't carry that size. She also said that I couldn't fit in their clothes and I must have found a bra that was returned from a purchase bought online. She told me I didn't belong in the store. I left in tears. I plan on never going back to any of the store locations.
