I ordered a dress online and arrived on time but damaged. The package was fine, so the damage was previous to shipping it. The dress seems used, kind of dirty. An awful condition, it should had been checked/inspected before shipping it.

Saks Fifth Avenue's customer service seems to be perpetrating a scam. With an F rating on BBB and thousands of online complaints, they're notorious for shipping issues, denying returns, and withholding refunds. Once they have your money, it's nearly impossible to get it back. I had to fight tooth and nail for refunds and even get the BBB involved. Their delaying tactics are relentless. This appears to be systematic fraud that demands immediate action: stronger consumer protection, accountability and a class action lawsuit. After being a loyal customer for over 25 years, my family and I will NEVER SHOP AT SAKS AGAIN.

Purchased a men's jacket online on July 6th, due to the wrong size, I returned it the next day via FedEx with prepaid shipping label. I also reordered similar type of jacket in smaller size similar one. I never received my refund for the original purchase, although I had received an email confirmation regarding the receipt of return merchandise on July 15th, yet every time I called, I was informed that I had to wait for 14 additional business days after return. The return Jacket was sent on July 6th and as of today July 31st, they are still telling me to wait longer!
After several phone calls and after speaking to two different supervisor at Saks, I was asked to wait additional 7 business days while they investigate. I find this totally unacceptable, for such an inconvenience while I am charged twice and they kept apologizing. This is in addition to pay extra shipping cost over $30.00. This was my 1st and of course my last time I purchase from Saks Fifth with their horrible customer service.

Ordered a ring from Saks Fifth Avenue and the shipping box appeared off. When my wife opened the box and then the ring box No ring. Just an empty box. Called customer service literally 5 mins after package was delivered and they opened a case and I sent photos and in the end No refund and No item. Said their investigation said no fault with shipping. So I called Capital One who issues the store card and they opened a case separate from Saks and refund the charges back to the card. If ordering online for luxury goods stick with Macy’s or Neiman Marcus. Lots better online experience and way better customer service. Saks brick and mortar store are great but stay away from online orders.

I ordered two dresses in February from Saks online. One dress arrived with a broken zipper. I immediately took a photo of the dress and filled out a return form and returned it. Since then (it is now the last day of July) they have rejected my return 3 times, and say that the dress was worn and damaged by the customer. I did not wear the dress. I could not have even gotten it on because the the broken zipper. This was an expensive dress, and I've now contacted them at least five times and spent hours trying to resolve this. American Express doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with this either and they are usually very good at resolving disputes. SAKS IS THE WORST customer service I have ever encountered!!!

Updated on 08/17/2024: Welp, after I submitted the video showing the package was never opened, I got my money back.
Original Review: It has been 2 1/2 months and. I refund. I tried to cancel my order but was told it was shipped. I called twice by the way. When the package came I never opened the package. I mailed to FedEx and I had to pay for shipping. Luckily I took a pics and video as I always do when returning anything. Saks sent a picture to my credit card company of an “empty” package. Look at the unopened package and Saks picture. Internal theft and loss prevention should be involved. If I do not get my credit on my credit card this week; I’m filing in my local a small claims court.

I purchased a clothes with medium size on Saks website and paid a shipping fee to ship the order to me. But their medium size is WAY TOO BIG than what I normally wear. (My whole closet is load with all MEDIUM size clothes!) I requested a return with return shipping fee wavier - but "NO" according to their policy! They are misleading customer but not willing to take the loss! End up I have to pay TWO shipping fee for the wrong product! Don't buy their products online unless you shop in store!

Ordered a dress for a wedding over a month ago and it was too big. Return was delivered to Saks on 9th July and I am still yet to receive my refund. Why a well known retailer takes 10-14 business days to refund is beyond me. I am now at 14 business days and worried I won’t ever get my refund. Called customer service who can’t tell me anything, except raise a review. I would be extremely dubious making online purchases, as something shady is going on. Reading other forums and multiple people having the same issue. Unreliable, incompetent, thieving!

I ordered a dress and it arrived damaged. I really loved the dress and it was quite expensive. So I called and they sent me a shipping label to return. But then when they refunded me, they deducted the “free” shipping for sending me a damaged dress. I had to call customer service twice before they refunded the money. So I reordered the dress and unfortunately it didn’t work. I returned it and received notice they received it July 3. As of July 25 I still had no refund. I “chatted” with someone online who said my complaint would be “escalated”. Still no refund 24 hours later so I submitted an email complaint. I received a response today that I needed to wait “5-7 business days for my case to be reviewed.” Worst company ever.

My first experience with Saks Fifth Avenue has been very disappointing. We do not have a store in my area and can only purchase online. I was very excited to order a Farm Rio dress, as I have other dresses of the same brand. The quality is typically fantastic. Unfortunately I received the dress with a broken zipper. I was so disappointed because it fit perfectly and was beautiful otherwise. I contacted customer to inquire about an exchange, even offered to pay for the replacement until the damaged item was received and then refunded. Sadly, customer service said they do not do replacements and I would have to return the item, receive a refund, and then purchase again. Sort of a pain but not the end of the world. Customer service asked for pictures of the damaged zipper, which I provided. They started a return ticket and emailed me a return label. I immediately boxed the item and shipped it the next day with their return label.
I waited a week and had not received any return notifications. Luckily I saved the receipt from FedEx with the tracking number. The packages showed delivered. I contact customer service again, they stated they had no record of initiating a return, I provided the tracking number of the label they provided, and the representative said it was an incorrect tracking number and couldn’t be tracked. I emailed them a screenshot of the tracking showing proof of delivery and a signature from their return department. I called again a day later to follow up and they had to escalate my return ticket to a manager. After 2 days of no response I called again and was told my ticket was under review and I should receive my credit in 5-7 days.
I called again 8 days later to be told it was still under review. At that point I contacted PayPal and made a dispute. Needless to say this has been a one month process and I finally received full reimbursement from PayPal, Saks made it easier as they never responded to PayPal’s request for information. Buyers beware, Saks has absolutely terrible to deal with. I wish I could give a 0 star rating. I’m baffled how they manage to stay in business!

This experience with Saks has been the worst...by FAR... of any I have ever had with any company, online or in person. Got some award points at my company, they allowed them to be redeemed as gift certificates. Hmmm, who would be a good bet for quality? Sure, that well-known luxury brand, Saks 5th Ave. First order, for a purse, they sent a similar-looking but different item. Returned it, got the refund so no problem, right? Should have been a red flag. Ordered some other merchandise, 5 items.
Two items were sets of dish towels, 3 each of two different colors. Received one set, then the other items but never received the second set of towels. Waited a couple of days to see if it might still be coming and then filed the online claim. After that, same routine as all of you have had, denials after thorough investigations, calls to customer service (all of whom were friendly and sympathetic by the way, just totally ineffectual), escalations, calls after no response, talks to supervisors, promises to escalate, etc. This has gone on for months. Finally got the last denial with "proof" of delivery, basically just a statement saying it had been delivered.
When this first happened, the tracking info showed a picture of the package delivered, just one small one. This has since been deleted because they are only kept for so long. At first, the customer service people said I received two packages, then when I said the photo only showed one, they said the towels came in one box. This is obviously a company policy, basically deny or delay or ignore claims. Good for profit, horrible for reputation. This would be a great class action lawsuit. I am not litigious but I would join that one. I am also not a protester but I am angry enough to think about going in front of their effing store in Beverly Hills with a big sign. I am freaking enraged at their arrogance and outright theft!

I have been a SAKS customer since around 1990 and currently hold a SAKS Diamond member card. I’ve been ordering on SAKS.com for many years. Several weeks ago, I received my order consisting of several items, with the exception of (1) missing item. I contacted SAKS via phone and they told me it would be investigated. Then I received an email stating the “Missing item(s) request claim” for case number #xxxx was thoroughly researched and the team has determined they are unable to issued a refund for my request.
In other words, I have spent thousands of dollars over the years at a company that is now refusing my request to preferably replace or refund the missing item THEY did NOT send ME? On another note, I have never made a claim on missing merchandise in over 30 years. And I can’t remember the last time I had to return an item.
I am contacting my attorney to persue a $604.00 claim on a printed cotton shirt I ordered, paid for, and never received. It will cost me more money than the cost of the shirt to have an attorney pursue the claim, but it’s the principle of it. I have a feeling there are more similar complaints from current customers. Are there any SAKS customers involved in/considering a class action law suit against the company?

I made an online YSL purchase on May 29, 2024 from Saks. The item did not fit and I had to return the item. I returned the item a week later and Saks confirmed receipt/processing on Jun 13th, 2024. The confirmation stated that the refund will be issued 7-10 business days. Here I am 6 weeks later and still haven’t received my refund. Each time I call, I get the same messaging that they will escalate. The customer service agent mentioned that they are unable to issue refunds and it must be handled by their distribution center.
Today I got tired and I’ve requested to speak with a supervisor, and after 20 mins on hold, the agent who was very reluctant to connect me to a supervisor, came back and said his supervisor said there’s nothing they can do other than re-escalate. Any reputable company with an even half way decent customer service allows you to speak to a supervisor upon request. If this wasn’t a significant purchase, I’d walk away. I have no desire to shop at Saks and this was not my first awful experience with Saks, but once I’ve absorbed my GC funds, I’ll never shop at Saks again.

I purchased 4 dresses on 05/23/2024 (for my family event on 06/10) and when I got them, I tried on only 2 of them. The other two I didn't even take out the nylon that it was wrapped with, I immediately requested on May 29 a return (the same day I got them) and returned it on June 4 via FEDEX tracking number **. Then on June 29, I received one of the dresses back with a letter that I passed the store regulation and that I wore the dress! This is a lie and they are blaming me for stealing! I tried to contact them a few times with no luck. I never wore the dress or even tried it on, I don't know what or who is playing games but this is not right! I didn't took it out of the nylon it was wrapped with. I would love to see if they have video recording when and how they send it to me. I'm sure the problem start there.

My young adult daughter was supposed to receive a 75 dollar gift card as part of a Black Friday deal in November. She's called Saks at least 10 times since then. All the customer service agents said she should be getting the gift card and "escalate" the issue to a supervisor. Now 8 months later, they still tell her the case hasn't been reviewed yet. I'm disappointed that a company known for luxury has such poor customer service.

My return was rejected due to stains inside and outside. I have informed them that I had tried the dress for less than a few minutes. There are no stains, inside or outside. I sent photos and I have asked to return the unworn dress for inspection. After three weeks, I was told that I should review the return policy. They can't accept the stained dress.

My daughter is disabled of one side of her body, I ordered a dress for her graduation. When the dress arrived, it had the security tag stitched between the front and back hem basically sealing the dress so you can't try it on. SO how do you try it on but to remove the string tag. The dress was too large. It was also only 2 days to my daughter's graduation so I knew I would have to go into a store to get a different dress as ordering online would not arrive on time. I ended buying a dress at Bloomingdale's in SHerman Oaks. When I went to return the Saks dress the woman actually treated my daughter with dismay.

I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience with Saks.com. I purchased an item that did not meet the expected standard of a luxury product. When I contacted customer service on Tuesday (after receiving the item on Saturday), I was transparent about the item being opened and was directed to visit the store for a resolution. After making the inconvenient trip to the store, I was informed by in-store staff that I needed to mail the return instead, which directly conflicted with the first set of instructions. When I called Saks.com customer service again, I was told the return would not be accepted, contradicting both previous instructions.
This experience has been extremely frustrating due to inconsistent information and conflicting policies. There was a clear lack of coordination and transparency in handling my case. My case number shows I had the item for a short period, and if an exception was never an option, this should have been communicated from the beginning.
Furthermore, my time was wasted, and I was given false hope. Follow-up communication has been dismissive, and one of the Saks.com managers even laughed during our conversation, which felt unprofessional. The inconsistencies made it seem like a resolution was possible based on who you spoke to, opening room for bias and judgment. I even wonder if the item was tampered with, similar to other incidents reported on Reddit and TikTok where fakes or resold items were returned.
My only ask, which I felt was reasonable, was to exchange the item and I have been made to feel judged and sent on wild goose chase. Due to how their online site operates, I strongly encourage others to shop with competitors when ordering online. The disconnect between in-store and online operations should not impact the customer. Saks needs to address these issues and improve their customer service to prevent similar experiences for others.

I used to purchased online with SAKS and SAKS Off because sometimes they have great deals but I will never shop there again. Every time I buy several items, at least one would be missing, they will make you run around making phone calls after phone calls even then they will say they will investigate, and it took 4 months to get my refund. It happened a few times, every time I ordered multiple items this likely will happen. The last straw was I ordered from Saks off and they too did the same thing, it's the same company, but this time they said they will not refund the money for the missing item because they said I have too many returns, so they just took my money!! This company should be shut down, they are the worst. Buyers beware at all cost!! They will say anything to scam you.

I wish I could give "negative" stars for this order. I ordered a dress from Saks in May. Upon receipt, the dress was damaged. It had a small rip in the slit and deodorant and/or make-up stains. It was not in an original Saks box. I returned the item after talking with customer service and uploading pictures of the damage. I was sent a return label. A few weeks later the dress was returned to me because it was damaged! (That's why I returned it!). I've talked to them at least three times since, they assure me they can read the notes and see it should be returnable and will have a supervisor look at the notes and send me a return label. Both times rejected. This is insane. How can I not return a product that was damaged upon receipt. I will never, ever order from Saks again.

I wish I read the reviews of Saks experience before purchasing online from them. I received my items very late and they could not even trace it. I was honest enough to return them when it showed up on my doorstep and now, I am still waiting for my refund. It is >1K worth so it is not a joke. The email I received says 7-10 business days.

Saks used to be an elite shopping experience. Buyer beware- if you are unsatisfied with your purchase and seek to return your product- it will take perseverance and your time to get your refund. I purchased a fairly expensive pair of shoes. They did not fit so I returned them. I used the preprinted label provided by SAKS. I receive notice that my return was received on June 12th- in the email it said it could take 7-10 days to receive a refund (that in and of itself is ridiculous -not another retailer takes that long once a return is received--) then when I called on the 25th to inquire - I was told that the 7-10 days was a mistake and it could take until July 2nd-- I believe that is completely unreasonable and as such- I will not longer be shopping at Saks- horrible customer service.

I wish there was a zero rating on here. Honestly the treatment I received from this store have placed me in a stressful and sad state. I returned 2 dresses that I purchased online because they didn’t fit. A month after return, I still didn’t receive a refund after speaking to quite a few CSR about my refund. I was told refund was on the way and item was received. My last conversation to them inquiring about my refund was that they will only refund me for one dress and the other will be returned to me because the tags were removed. I am so angry with this situation because the dress was sent back immediately with all tags attached after finding out that they didn’t fit. The only good thing that came out of this is that they have caused me anxiety to know next time to check reviews before buying from any store because if I had done it for SAKS, I would not have spent my money with them.

I purchased a $350 bottle of a men's parfum from Sacks online. When I opened the box to my surprise the box of parfum had already been opened. Someone cut the clear wrap completely off the top. There was no receipt in the box and the parfum was poorly packed. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought this was all a joke. I immediately tried to call the Sacks customer service line, but there is no way to actually call them, so I started an online chat. After wasting over 30 minutes of my time, I was given a very disappointing resolution to my problem. I was told that in 5-7 working days someone would contact me to discuss the issue. Discuss the issue? There is NOTHING to discuss. Sacks clearly sent me an open and possibly used or fake bottle and they should immediately correct the issue.
Sacks has my $350 and I have a bottle filled with who knows what fake cologne or a used bottle, and I'm supposed to wait up to 7 business days for someone to contact me. And knowing my luck, Sacks won't let me return the parfum because they probably don't accept opened parfum (like 99.9% of all stores out there). Now, I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but if this happens I have no idea what I'll do. All this aggravation, time wasted, money spent and stress as to whether they will exchange the open bottle for a "new" bottle is a joke. I thought Sacks could be trusted to send new and unopened fragrances. In addition, I thought Sacks valued customer service. They should have immediately allowed me to send back the bottle and immediately send me a "new" bottle to include a sincere apology for all of my time wasted and inconvenience.

I have been a Saks Fifth customer for past 5 years and have spent thousands of dollars on making purchases here but something like this has never happened. There was this online promotion going on for the month of June and I bought these $2000 earrings from them on Thursday, June 6th. It's June 14 and they still haven't sent out the product.

When I called the courier company, they told me that Saks drops off the products with them for shipping. Upon calling back the customer service and asking them what the issue is they told me if I don't get the product by 20th of June I will get a refund! My question is "I don't want a refund!!! What I want is to have the product". Also, when I m trying to open the product online now it's basically crashing the link.

Saks online sent us the wrong item and when we tried to return it, they told us that this was not even their item and so the return was declined. We took pictures of the box it came in as well as the tag (which actually had the correct style number for the item we ordered but was not the correct style number for the item we received) and even said they elevated the concern to the supervisor level who also declined the return. When speaking directly with the supervisor we were told this was as high as the complaint could be elevated. Most likely the item they sent us was a back-stocked item as they probably ran out of the item we had actually ordered. I have never experienced such poor customer service and perhaps as Saks loses customers, their new business model has become that of fraud and deception. Despite having shopped at both the stores and online for over 40 years, we will never shop there again.

It’s been 3 days over their allotted time which is 10-14 BUSINESS DAYS (That in itself in ridiculous). Now I have two cases open where they’re trying to find out why the refund hasn’t been issued! Once resolved I am canceling my card and NEVER shopping with them again.

I have never written a review for customer service in my life but I am floored by how bad the CS is at Saks. I ordered four coats and returned three all within their 30 day timeframe. I received notice all three items were received as well as refund amount. Two weeks later I received a second email that the refund had been processed, but for only two items. I have reached out three times and two different people from their team confirmed all three items were received back and I would get a refund for all three but they would create a case to be sure.
Well today I received a follow up on that case that they've made the decision to not refund (6 weeks after emailing me my return was received and would be processed). When I called customer service after this they said the warehouse has notified them something is wrong with the product and they will be returning it to me. The 'problem' with this is it was too big and I literally bought the smaller size the day of the return. Insane. Never again will I spend money here.

I am not sure what is going on with Saks but they have become just AWFUL! I have been a very loyal customer for years. I purchased $1000 pair of Gucci heels, literally sent them back the day that I received them, they were sent to me with a few scuffs on the bottom of them but the block heel shows that it was obvious that they couldn’t have been worn maybe tried on in the store. I sent them back because of this but also they did not fit properly.
I phoned in several times inquiring about my credit. Beyond rude customer service on the phone as well as via text. I would hold on for at least an hour to speak with a manager and several times was hung up on. I waited over 30 days for my credit and one day the shoes appeared at my door, stating that they had been worn and I could not return them. Luckily I was traveling to a City that has a Saks store and they allowed me to return the shoes, and they too were dumbfounded that the shoes were returned to me from Saks. I purchased a $800 dress. It did not fit and I was terrified they would come up with a bogus reason for me not to return it, I was shocked that they charged me $10 to send it back. They took 10 plus days to credit my card. I am beyond shocked to see so many similar stories told on this site. I wonder if it’s some type of game they are playing. They have truly lost me as a longtime loyal customer.

Saks is definitely trying to scam their customers as I have read all these reviews. I bought an 1100 size 14 dress which was way too big. Sent it back and ordered size 10 of exact same dress which I kept and wore 3 months later. I received the size 14 dress back saying it is now now saleable bc the flimsy security sash (just ribbon attached with a flimsy button that child could take off) was not attached. Well, it was attached when I sent it back and now your saying it mysteriously is not? The dress is big and puffy and lots of tulle. Easily could become detached. Plus, I have proof that I kept the exact same dress in a different size. They refuse to budge even with all the circumstantial evidence I have. I assume the distribution dept employees are getting kickbacks based on all these reviews. The worst customer service EVER. I'm not done yet. Next step is small claims court. Someone needs to stop the madness.

I ordered a three row gold plated necklace for a total of $202.77. SFA sent a $60 bracelet that was a match to the necklace I wanted. This was an SFA error. I went through the return process and was told I would get my refund processed in 10-14 business days. At 14 business days, I called and was informed that the warehouse was not processing these returns correctly and I would have to wait another 5-7 business days for the issue to be escalated through finance. Nothing they could or would do to expedite this. In a normal customer service world, they would have recognized the cost of the item to SFA (~$10) and said, "Keep the bracelet for your trouble. We are sending out the correct item today." Instead I spent roughly an hour over three calls inquiring about this return. It is yet to be resolved. To protect my interest in this situation, I will now challenge the charge with American Express.

Beware of Saks! Their customer service is non-existent, and they clearly only care about $$$ at their customers' expense. My package was delivered to me cut open and the contents stolen. I opened a claim with Saks. A few days later, Saks told me there was nothing they could do because they checked the video of their distribution center, and the perfume was put in the box in the distribution center. This doesn't change the fact that the package was cut open and looted before it arrived. Instead of taking ownership of the issue by saying they would refund me or send me a new perfume and take care of figuring out what happened and filing a claim with the delivery company or otherwise handling through their normal process, as a "luxury" department store should, their only response (from multiple customer service reps) was that I should file a police report with my local police department. Excuse me, what??? Are you kidding me?
Filing a police report for something like this is useless at best, and it puts responsibility on me for something totally out of my control. I've never had such a poor experience with a company ever. I will truly never shop at Saks again and encourage all to instead go to Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Amazon, or LITERALLY ANYWHERE BESIDES SAKS. Congratulations, Saks. You've lost another customer for life. I hope the $160 perfume in my package was worth it...

Like many others, I too believe Saks Online is engaging in fraudulent activity. I returned two pairs of unworn shoes within 48 hours of receiving them and kept one pair which fit. Instead of getting refunds, I received them back nearly 60 days later with a letter stating no refunds would be issued as the items appeared to be damaged from wear. Absurd! I sent them back unworn and in the same condition as when they were received. I do not even know if these are the exact shoes which were originally sent to me.
The "damage" is some white cloudiness on the black bottoms. They do not resemble being worn, but being tampered with. By the way, the heel bottoms are in pristine condition- exactly the look of unworn shoes. I also compared them to the ones I kept and did wear; the bottoms of worn shoes look very different. Is Saks tampering with returned items and blaming customers in order to keep our money? There are too many of these complaints for it to be a coincidence. Is a class action lawsuit the answer to stopping them from doing this? Let's fight back!

I ordered a $562.50 cocktail dress online Saks Fifth Avenue which arrived March 23. I did not even put the dress on as I had already decided to keep the dress in another size which I had previously ordered from Saks. I sent the dress back on March 27 and waited for my refund. On April 27 I received a box from Saks with the dress and a note stating the dress "appears to be damaged from wear." I contacted Saks customer service via phone about the fact that I never wore the dress and was told I would receive a second return label.
Veronica, the Saks Customer Care Specialist assigned to my case, requested photos of the dress which I provided. She then came back and said the Saks distribution center had rejected my return in April due to "hair dander on dress" resulting in a "non salable condition." This is absolutely untrue as evidenced by the photos I submitted. I (politely) requested the name and contact information for someone in Saks management with authority to review and override this decision: I waited over a week to hear back but have been ghosted by the two Saks Customer Care Specialists I contacted via email.
As I have learned from reading about other Saks' online return complaints similar to mine, it appears that this company has a pattern and practice of rejecting legitimate returns and leaving online customers with no recourse to obtain their deserved refunds.

Saks Fifth is absolutely horrible. I purchased a jersey jumpsuit online. The item came and I could tell I was probably going to return it. Saw that it had some loose threading along the seam and returned the item. The first time I sent it, they returned it stating the damage was caused by customer wearing the item. I called the representative, they told me I was supposed to email a picture prior to returning if the item was damaged. After stating nowhere in their return policy does it state that and emailing pictures of the damage, they sent me a second return label and case number. I get an email a few weeks later of denial of return, again saying it was worn but now saying it had dirt on the leg bottom.
I called again, the representative was kind but at the end of the day unhelpful as she kept repeating a third return would only result in the warehouse holding the item. She then said I could return it in the store if it's within 30 days, which it obviously was outside of the window.

In preparation for the holidays I took advantage of Black Friday shopping. Most of my purchases were made toward the end of November. Two items I purchased for my daughter weren't the right fit. She attempted to return 1 and exchange the other for the right size at the end of January. I neglected to check their return policy because if I had I would have encouraged my daughter to return the items on December 27th (no later). I couldn't believe there was no wiggle room with Saks. There was no option for store credit or exchanges. I never would have expected this from a high end retailer like Saks. I will never shop there again.

If I could give them a -10 I would. I ordered a pair of boots for my wife’s birthday, and even after I left a note for FedEx to not deliver until the date we returned for a business trip (signature required) they attempted the delivery 3 times prior to my return. So I guess shame on FedEx as well! I contacted Saks customer service twice asking them to reroute the boots since they were not available anymore online and twice they told me they can’t do that.
I have shipped many times with FedEx and only the shipper has the ability to reroute, stop or change the delivery. They said they couldn’t do it, meaning they were lazy enough not to even try. Spoke to a supervisor in hopes I could get help but same deal, NO WONDER THEIR REVIEW IS 1.3. I’ll never buy anything from Saks again!! Hope they go bankrupt!!

If I could give negative stars I would. I placed an order for 2 items during the holiday season using my Saks credit card but when it arrived one the items was not in the package, instead there was a cheaper, children’s clothing item. When I returned it citing “wrong item received” they returned it back to me because it was the wrong item which makes no sense because that’s why I was sending it back!! I called their customer service who asked me to send pictures of the wrong item and she said to send it back again and that she will send me a FedEx label. I waited for the label but it never was sent so I emailed again—and again—and again—always getting a response from a different customer service person even though it was the same chain of emails, by the fourth person they said I can’t send it because it’s the wrong item!!
At that point I called the saks credit card to dispute the charge and they only credited me partially because I used a gift card—but there was another item in my order that I did receive that the gift card should have been applied to—They were totally messing around to not have to credit as much. Then Saks.com had the nerve to rebut my claim by sending proof of delivery and a picture of the package at my doorstep—which only proves a delivery was made—not that the contents had the entire correct order inside the package so the credit card rebilled my account. After all the years and $ I spent at Saks this was disgusting customer service and I will never shop there or use that credit card ever again!! I had better customer service from H&M—I expect more from a luxury retailer—and Amex would never have let this happen either.

Saks is attempting to steal my refund for a return that the tracking shows was delivered twice! The first time they sent it back stating they didn’t receive it in time which was a lie. They received it a week after the return was opened then they proceeded to hold on to it for 45 days. Then Saks sends it back stating they didn’t receive it in time. I spoke to a supervisor and they confirmed that Saks did receive it in time and she sent me another label. Saks has had the second return for over 30 days.

I purchased several dresses from Saks.com and then I returned a few. I received email confirmation of receiving the dresses but the one dress I did not receive credit for. After 4 calls to customer service they told me that to get the credit for the dress I returned they needed to send it back to me and I had to resubmit the return. This made no sense but if this is how I had to do it then okay. However, the dress they sent back to me was the same style but a different size. I called them and the customer service rep noted the different UPC and told me he would send me a return label. Instead, they sent me an email saying they could not process my return.
When I called yet again I was told by the supervisor they would not refund me because the dress that I was now trying to return was a different UPC than the original dress. What? How does this make sense? They admitted they had the dress I returned but for some reason the credit did not go through. Send me a new dress to rereturn but sends a different dress and then says I can't return it because the UPC doesn't match. Thankfully my credit card company refunded the money. However, the customer service reps lack any common sense. I got my credit and I will resell the dress but I will never shop at Saks again.

I strongly recommend that people NOT shop at Saks Fifth Avenue online. I've been accused of not returning a dress ($345) in the same condition that I received it. I bought the dress on 1/23/24 and returned it on 2/13/24 and on 3/29/224 received the dress back saying that it was damaged due to wear. The dress now smells like a chemical. I have no appeal process or recourse. I'm not sure where the dress sat from 2/13 - 3/29 and the customer service person would not tell me about the process. I feel as if I've been scammed by Saks. If you purchase something - I strongly recommend you return it in person and not online. You don't know what can happen.

I recently have had a few Saks orders that I unfortunately had to return. They claim their returns process is easy. LOL Not so much. Reviews all over the board are full of people complaining that they never received a refund. Saks return policy states the refund will be issued within "10 to 14 business days". Why on Earth does it take nearly a month to issue a refund? No other department store takes this long. I have had to reach out to their corporate heads in order to get my returns refunded, and also filed disputes with my credit card company.
Saks has shady business practices and needs to be investigated and audited. I did file a complaint with the FTC. Their chat agents are a joke, they have no brains. Do not shop here, it's nothing but problems. Saks - If you don't want to refund returns, then make everything final sale, instead of stealing customer's money! Oh and my most recent order was a blazer which arrived with a huge snag on the front. There is no way whomever packed it didn't see this snag. They just didn't want to deal with it and sent it to me. So now I get to deal with trying to get refunded for this defective item. Getting refunded is like pulling teeth, customer service is non existent, and merchandise arrives damaged: Saks is pathetic and definitely not luxury.

I ordered a pair of shoes that cost over $500. Saks Fifth Avenue decided to ship this item with Veho delivery company, and with no signature confirmation. Veho is the worst delivery company ever. Their service is trash and they have no customer service. The fact that Saks Fifth Avenue would ship something of this value with such company, and with no signature confirmation required indicates that they do not respect their customers. Saks does not sell anything cheap. And at the very least, and out of respect for their customers a reputable delivery company such as UPS or FedEx should be used, and also a signature confirmation upon delivery should be required. It’s OK because Saks Fifth Avenue does not sell anything that I cannot find at another store. I will take my business elsewhere, moving forward. This is a very cheap and disrespectful practice. The store sells expensive high end items, yet they have the nerve to want to take the cheap route for shipping.

Specifically, DO NOT buy from Saks.com if you actually want to receive the product and/or if you have to then deal with their customer service for any problem. My daughter in law purchased 2 items valued at over 800.00 and after 10 days of not receiving products she called several times and got totally incompetent people.
On the 12th day I took over and started with the first totally ignorant rep and requested a supervisor. Linda from Texas kept repeating the same thing “I can put a tracer on it and get back to you in 24-48 hours”. REALLY?? SERIOUSLY?? She's a new mother who needs one of the products NOW and has waited patiently 12 days. NOT to mention she was suppose to leave yesterday for a wedding and needed the shoes. So, I requested a manager, Maria from Texas repeated the exact same thing.
I suggested several options to no avail! I suggested she set it up for overnight delivery. NO! I suggested 2 day delivery to my home in Miami. NO!! Last resort, how about compensation? NO OMG and this is SAKS the once crème de la crème store???? NOT ANYMORE! It is a 3rd world company with archaic technology. Why would anyone buy from them when we are order and receive either 1 hour delivery from most companies locally, or overnight from Amazon and every other online company.

Saks.com has proven to be a prime example of deceitful and untrustworthy business practices, leaving customers like myself deeply disappointed and disillusioned. My recent experience with Saks.com has highlighted a blatant disregard for transparency, consumer trust, and ethical standards. One of the most egregious aspects of my experience was the handling of their gift card policy. Despite labeling the gift card as "free" in the order confirmation, Saks.com charged me for it and failed to disclose that the value of the gift card would be revoked if items associated with the order were returned. This lack of transparency is not only deceptive but also a clear violation of consumer trust.
Furthermore, the customer service response to my concerns was inadequate and dismissive. When I raised the issue of the gift card policy, I was met with vague and unhelpful responses, further highlighting Saks.com's disregard for customer satisfaction and loyalty. Additionally, the overall shopping experience on Saks.com was underwhelming. The website interface was outdated and cumbersome to navigate, making it difficult to find and purchase items. The lack of clear and concise information regarding their policies only added to the frustration.
In conclusion, my experience with Saks.com has been nothing short of disappointing. Their deceitful gift card policy, coupled with poor customer service and a lackluster shopping experience, has left me with a sour impression. I would strongly advise potential customers to exercise caution when considering shopping at Saks.com, as their business practices are far from ethical or trustworthy. Overall Rating: 0/5.

I am compelled to leave this review after an extremely disappointing experience with SAKS. I placed an order (Order #**) on December 19, expecting timely delivery before Christmas. The order included two shirts and two t-shirts, with a delivery date set for December 24. The first part of my order, a "HUGO - Ermo Logo Casual Slim Fit Button Down Shirt," arrived as scheduled on December 23. However, the rest of the order, which included a "BOSS - Tessler Slim Fit Tee," "HUGO - Dallejo Logo Tee," and "BOSS - Roan Slim Fit Print Shirt," supposedly delivered on December 28 (Tracking #**), was never received. Despite the website's claim of delivery, the items were nowhere to be found.
I reached out to SAKS customer service, expecting a prompt and fair resolution. To my dismay, their response was far from satisfactory. Not only did they fail to resolve the issue, but they also left me without any reasonable recourse. As a result, I am without the merchandise I paid for and, more importantly, out of pocket for these undelivered items.
What adds to the frustration is the lack of a proper platform to address or escalate this issue within SAKS. As a customer, it is disheartening to see such negligence and disregard for consumer rights. The inability to get a response or a refund for undelivered goods is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the company's commitment to customer satisfaction.
This experience has significantly diminished my trust in SAKS. I am left with no choice but to warn potential customers through this review. I rate SAKS 1 star for their failure to deliver the promised goods, their inadequate customer service response, and their inability to provide a satisfactory resolution. I hope this review serves as a call to action for SAKS to improve their service and address customer grievances more effectively.

Original Review: On December 29th 2023 Saks Fifth Avenue received the Burberry boots that I paid $579.95 for to their return center. After they receive their boots back they start tragically leaving me emails stating that my bank would not receive the refund back! So I contact my bank and my bank was on a three-way with me with the Saks Fifth Avenue customer service rep and told her the rap that her name is Samantha and she is from Topline Federal Credit Union and her client meaning mean never received any attempts from Saks Fifth Avenue for a refund. Also she stated our bank would never turn down any of our client's refund from anyone.
After that the young lady said that they going to give me a gift card. I don't want to gift card. I want my $570 back that they owe me. If they could put $9.95 in my account they can put my $570 back into my account! I am blown away because this is a multi-billion dollar Corporation Saks Fifth Avenue, have been in business for decades and been making good money offer individuals and for this to happen I don't blame Saks Fifth Avenue. I blame you there hiring and then also how disrespectful girl representative is. All these foreigners are very disrespectful. It is. They are the one who stealing people identity and trying to steal $570 for me pretending like they gave me a gift card and I never received any gift card and I do not want the gift card.
I could not fit anything from this store. I have sent back two pairs of shoes that I could not fit. They too little. They run too small so why would I want that gift card? Give me my money back what they took from my bank card! I have contacted our attorney general Keith Ellison and after Keith Ellison contact the corporate office and the corporate office don't give me my money I will be suing this Corporation

Very disappointed! I purchased a pair of heels for my wedding. I was kinda in a rush since the wedding is next month but I still cannot find one that I like. I waited for a week for it to come, but you guys sent me a completely different one, and the one that I ordered was sold out. I couldn’t purchase it again. I talked to the customer service, one of the guy said he already left a note and I should be good to do the return. Then I went to the store in South Coast Plaza to do the return. As I approached to the front desk a lady stared at me and said “Do you see people in front of you?” while she could’ve said “The line is on your left”.
Then as she doing the return, she asked if I got the wrong item, I said yes. She said the policy has changed and I have to call the customer service to get a case number, or I can send it directly back to them. The lady on the phone was really nice though, she made it fast and gave me my case number, then I went back to the lady at the store. She asked me for the order number and the case number, I showed it to her, then she raised her voice at me: “Could you just read it to me!” like it’s my responsibility?!? Is that how I should be treated? I spent money then gotta take my time drove all the way to the store to fix the mistake that I did not make, and that’s how she treated me? Saks 5th has many quality items with good prices but I will never want to shop here again!

My husband ordered a purse for me, and one of the zippers does not work. I wanted to simply exchange it for the same product with a working zipper, but was informed that Saks does not offer exchanges. Instead you must return the item and reorder it. The problem is there's now a price difference, but their "system" won't allow them to adjust the price to what we originally paid for the item - so we're penalized because they sent a defective product. Won't be purchasing from them again.

In July 2021, I ordered a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes from Saks online. Per Saks tracking they claimed that FedEx delivered my package however there was no footage on my ring doorbell showing an actual delivery other than a truck driving down my street and zero proof of signature and delivery. I contacted Saks to which I provided all of my evidence and went back and forth with a representative claiming I would be refunded. After almost 2 months and no actual resolution I ended up filing a claim with PayPal to which Saks sent them the same garbage FedEx sent which again was no proof of delivery or my signature. I ended up losing $844.68 USD and never received my shoes. Customer Service is the absolute worst and they blame everyone but themselves.

I placed an order for two items where one came leaking. Because it was a Christmas gift, I contacted CS and said I didn’t want to send back the item until I received a replacement first. First CS rep said ok, but all of a sudden, she ended the conversation and the next CS I contacted said they don’t send out replacement items first. I was in a predicament because I didn’t want to end up with no gift for my friend. The CS offered a measly 10% discount code which at first I refused because they were horrible and couldn’t resolve anything. Anyways, I changed my mind and contacted CS for that discount code and got “disconnected” twice. I have had enough with Saks and will never purchase anything from this company again. CS service was awful and they couldn’t do anything. Stay clear away.

On November 26, I placed an order with Saks Fifth Avenue totaling $453.11. The order was shipped in two packages. Issue with the Second Package: The first package, delivered on December 1st, contained 3 dresses and arrived without issues. The second package, delivered on December 4th, was supposed to contain a box of facial cotton and three lipsticks. Instead, it contained only the facial cotton and a water gauge, addressed to a different individual inside the package addressed to me. Notably, I did not videotape the package opening, but I took a picture of the contents immediately after discovering the incorrect items.
Initial Resolution Attempt: I immediately reported the issue to Saks customer service on December 4th. They instructed me to return the incorrect item for investigation and promised a refund upon its return. I complied, sending back the water gauge and emailed them the picture I took as evidence of the mix-up. Refund Request Denied: Despite following Saks' instructions and providing evidence, my refund request was rejected. The incorrect item was returned to me on December 24th, with a statement that it is not a Saks product. A subsequent appeal over phone call for investigation and refund on December 25th was also denied. It's the retailer's responsibility to ensure that customers receive the correct items as per their order. If there is an error in fulfillment, the retailer should address it at their own expense. Terrible shopping experience.

Updated on 12/11/2023: I have never ever experienced any other company worse than Saks in my life. I put two items which I received in one box and sent them back using their shipping label in the same box. One item got missing on their side and they do not give me the refund. They use Fedex for shipping so I do not have the weight on my side as UPS does. They are two heavy items and the weight cannot be the same if only one item in the box. Is this the way a company like this steal from customer? I believe I am not the only one who has this problem because I saw someone else's review here for the same problem. I did not believe it until I got the same.
Original Review: I need to return an item I bought from Saks online and all I need is to have a return shipping label. After contacting them once per day for 5 days in a row and went through 5 customer service reps at least I still do not have my shipping label. Every one of them told me I should get it the next day. The problem is that due to their system problem, I could not return by myself. Otherwise, I would ship it back myself with my own money instead of their free shipping.

I bought a Tory Burch handbag from Saks Fifth online. It came but the seam on one side was very poorly done and the leather on that side was torn. I used the online text system to see if I can exchange. One say I could then midway got disconnected. I opened a new text with a new rep. This rep said I could not exchange at all. I was confused. I then called the online number and spoke with a rep. She said I can return at a store which is a hour away from where I live or I can return the product and “possibly” may exchange once I send them pictures of the issue. She would not start the re order for me until the warehouse received my return product. I was fine with that and asked her to send me an email where I can send the pictures of the purse back for proof of why I want to return. She said she sent it already. I kept waiting and waiting and still nothing came over except her return form for print out.
From this experience, what I gathered is that Saks fifth online does not want to work with customers to exchange even it is a defected high end product. They would lie and said that they are willing to look at the problem but would not provide a way for the customer to follow through with what is needed to be done for an exchange. They would make the customer drive out of their way and be inconvenienced to fix a problem that stem from their defected product.

Wow - I used to be a big Saks customer but their Black Friday sale was a scam as noted in other reviews below. Stay away from this company, they refuse to help you and I swear on my life that I put the promo code in there and they are saying that there is no promo code and there's NOTHING they can do. I specifically only bought stuff for the promo - the first excuse they gave me was that Skims brand was excluded. I showed them proof the email had Skims items in it saying Black Friday gift card deals. Then they changed their tune and were just like, "Oh well, you never added the promo code." Well why did I buy exactly $150 worth of merchandise? Don't buy from Saks. I can see why they are going bankrupt if this is how they treat their loyal customers. Literally the worst customer service. Go to Neimans or literally any other luxury retailer. Saks is trash now and it's a shame.

I have bought from Saks in the past with no issues until this year. The first instance it was a Black Friday buy $150 and receive a $75 gift card. They accepted my order then cancelled a part of the order as they did not have it. This then voided my $75 gift card but I only knew when I went to use it. The rest of the order was shipped. I will be returning it. The following day they ran a special, purchase $225 of beauty and receive a cosmetic bag with samples. The samples were cancelled but the rest of the order was sent. I clearly placed my orders for the promotions they were running, they accepted the order then cancelled and I did not get the promotion in either case. I will be returning both orders but unfortunate how Saks no longer cares about customer service. It's no big deal in the big scheme of things, however quite annoying.

I ordered "Saks 25 Days Of Beauty Advent Calendar". After more than a week I started asking customer service where my order was. I then also noticed that I was very much overcharged for shipping even though it's advertised that anything over $100 is free. I wanted a reimbursement for my shipping fees but they said they would not because it was "international shipping". I had to show them their own website policy that states items over $100 ship for free internationally.
17 days later I finally received the package! It was very badly damaged and it had already been opened. The next reply from Saks was saying I must have ordered "Express Shipping", which I did not. And even if I did would it have taken 17 days to receive my item! And why has my package been opened and why can I not get a response for the damage? The blue and bindings were gone so it opened up and spilled all over. Support is trying to find any reason to make you go away. I was severally overcharged for shipping and a "special handling fee" and duties and taxes that is 2X what Canada Border Services Agency estimates. My order grew from $326 to $493! And days later they reduced the price from $326 to $275. Saks will do nothing to listen to my dispute. Nothing at all.

So I contacted Saks’ customer service to issue a refund and they said that technically I had to wait an additional 7 days just in case my package mysteriously made it to my address (after they admitted to losing my package). Ironically on the 7th day (before I could file a claim to receive a refund) their delivery partner claimed my package was delivered to my exact address. (LIES!!!) I asked for documented proof of delivery’s but of course they couldn’t provide any.
I order multiple packages from many retailers and Saks Fifth Avenue is the only store to say my address was inaccessible. They denied my claims and now I don’t have a coat and I’m out $400.
