Natalia was amazing, she listened, was kind and going to rectify my situation. Then Anna came on, and was rude, dismissive, and read off a teleprompter. Ugh, I ended up cutting up my card and will never use it again as a direct result of my experience with her. Angel card member lost. Thanks for making it easy. Get rid of Anna, and promote Natalia.

I am a Victoria’s Secret customer and Vip card holder for years now. Have spent a lot of money on Victoria’s merchandise. Not anymore!! My son purchased me a 100 dollar gift card for my birthday and when I went to place my order and put my card number in it kept saying 0 balance? So I called the number on the bottom of the receipt, and found out my card, that I had right in my hand had been used at a store in California??? Now we live in Pennsylvania which is hundreds and I mean hundreds of miles away from California and I have not left my state in over 6 years and have not been to California. So my question is how could someone use my card in a store in California without having the card in their hands? They cannot answer that. But I can, someone is selling gift card numbers and pins. Or something to that nature.
So I’m told to file a police report and that they cannot do anything about it and their rules and regulations are on back of gift card that they do not refund or do anything about a stolen or lost gift card. Do you think my son even thought that someone could use my card without having the card. It’s here in my hands!! The card was not stolen. Only the card numbers. HOW CAN THAT BE??? Well filing a police report will do nothing where I live. If they cannot help when someone hacks your bank account or card number in Mexico, Texas or whatever state for over a thousand they surely can’t help a stolen 100 dollar gift card number in California. Difference is the bank makes it right and gives you your money back and in a timely manner!! Victoria’s does nothing. They got the 100 dollars regardless if it was spent by me or a thief who stole my card number.
Very disappointing after being a valued vip member for years now on the treatment I have received on this matter and I will no longer be a VIP Angel cardholder and will not spend another dime of my money in the store or online or on anything that has to do with Victoria’s Secret. And Beware to anyone else who thinks about purchasing a gift card from there.

I returned items with a receipt for store credit instead of getting the money back on the card which is something I regret. It was a total of 59 bucks and I saved it when I wanted to use it. Two months later I walk in and I when I wanted to use it and the cashier tells me it had zero balance so I called customer service and they said someone used it and I said it wasn’t me so they said they would investigate. It took them 6 months to tell me someone used the gift in store 5 hours away from me. I told them it wasn’t fair on my part because I trusted their gift card to hold my money for the day I wanted to use. They said they were not giving me anything because the gift card was issued, but how is that fair to me? The girl offered a $25 gift card but that doesn’t make for the money that was lost.
I did not use it or do I want to. I never want to associate myself with this store or do I want anyone that I know to trust the company. I understand fraud happens and they have no control over it but that’s something they need to take care of to decrease fraud. I shouldn’t be responsible and not get my gift card money back. I took care of that gift card. It’s not like I lost it or had it laying around. I regret not putting the money back on mom’s credit card. I regret trusting this company. I regret it because I also did the return within 30 days but I wanted to come back so I trusted their store credit option. I am so upset for the way they treated me when it wasn’t my fault.

I just had a terrible experience calling Victoria's Secret customer service, I never requested to receive my statements online because I do not use that page and don't use my credit card that often, plus I like to pay as fast I can the way don't have too late. Well I made a purchase and paid part of the total amount because was thinking to make a return. Was waiting for the bill and nothing. Finally I receive the bill and shows 2 late fees! When I called they refuse to help me even with one fee and they show NO interest to keep me as a customer. So disappointed!!!

Back in May of this year, I went to Victoria's Secret to shop and I ended up purchasing a few bras and some body spray. It was that time of the year and they had a few deals (3 for $25) on the body sprays as well as the bras. Upon purchasing the bras, the sales clerk informed me about a free bag that I had earned by purchasing the bras. I was pleased and I said thank you and left. The following week was Mother's Day and I decided to gift the body spray and give it to someone. When I did so, I learned the person was sensitive to smells so I decided to give them a card instead. Anyway, with that being said, I decided to return them (sprays).
Big Mistake. I decided to return them to a Victoria's Secret that was closer to my house, even if I did not originally purchase them there, right. Wrong! I go to the store and walked all the way back, to the counter. There is a salesperson there folding panties. She doesn't acknowledge my presence with so much as a head nod. She presses a button under the counter. After she does so, another associate comes out from the back. She pleasantly says "Hello, how can I help you today?" I smile and tell her that I was returning the body sprays that I purchased a week before at another Victoria's Secret. I then hand her the sprays and the receipt.
Now mind you, I just purchased them a week prior from the location and they were not opened and I had the receipt. After reviewing the receipt, she disgustingly, looks at me as if I were returning worn underwear and says to me, "Where is the free bag that you received with the purchase of these items?" I am floored and a little embarrassed because she is insinuating that I purchased the body spray to get the free bag. Mind you, I spent $150 in there that day alone not to mention what I usually spend and she is nickeling and diming me over an ugly free bag! So, I reiterate to her what the other store had told me that the purchase of the bras was the reason, I received the bag and I kept the bras. She stood her ground and said that she could not return the items if I didn't return the free bag!
Again, trying hard not to lose my patience, I say to her the bag is not here it is at home. She tells me again, that she could not do the return. I say okay, thank you and I leave. I should have went home and got the bag and returned it the same day. However being the person that I am, I wait another week then return the bag and the body sprays to the original store. I have no problem returning the spray but when I go to give the bag to the sales associate she looks at me kind of puzzled and says, “You do not have to return the bag.”
I tell her that I returned the spray so I was returning the bag as well. She explained to me that I received that bag because of the purchase of my bras and they wouldn't take back the bag anyway because it was part of a promotion. I still give her the bag because now I have a line behind me and I didn’t want to bring up my original issue with the other store. Can you imagine my surprise? So I guess, my problem is not really with Victoria's Secret. It is with the Victoria's Secret staff at the Square One Mall in Saugus, Massachusetts who were very rude and misinformed. Also, the store that I received the good customer service is in a better (economically speaking) area than the one at the Square One Mall so I really could not understand the rude, ** attitudes that I was subjected to on that day. Next time (hopefully there is no next time), I will call their corporation right in front of them.

I shopped in most of their stores in OC and almost all of them have bad customer service. One of the sale assistance in the store in the Block was yelling at the customers when I walked in. I decided to shop online instead. I made 2 orders this month and they lost one of the packages during the transit. I contacted their live chat and they talk to me as if they don't care about my package at all. I know I'm only one of your customer, but they should at least act like they care.

Victoria's Secret pink was having a sale 25 dollars for leggings and tshirts, a very good price for those things and if you spent 75 you got a free duffle bag and water bottle and if you spent 150 you also got a free sherpa blanket. I ordered right at 10 (midnight pa time) when the sale started. I talked to a representative because I didnt know I needed to put in a code for the free stuff. (I contacted them right after I put in the order) and she put the order in for me. The next day I get an email saying the bag and blanket was out of stock and I wouldnt be getting it. Two friends of mine placed their order later that day and they both received the bag and blanket. I realized then because of my disappointment that I only really ordered that other stuff because I wanted the duffle and blanket.
I called again and they just said they were all gone and didnt know why people that ordered after me received it, they did send me a free tote which was a nice gesture but I have a ton of those totes and really have no use for them. This has been a good lesson to me as I realized I was spending money and using their charge card to get the free things I really wanted but then not getting it. I cut up my card and will really rethink my purchases from now on. I won't base my order on what they say I will get with it because that's obviously not the case. As I said I ordered it right when the sale started and talked to a representative so there was no reason to not receive it. I'm sure I'm more disappointed than I should be over a duffle bag and blanket but I feel they were just given out randomly and not based on who ordered first.

Back on May 9th I made a purchase in their store for almost forty dollars and when I finally got my credit card I paid off the balance and closed the account. Well mysteriously they never got the payment nor my address but they were able to send the credit card to me without trouble but never a billing statement. I spoke with two different customer service reps that said that my payment went through and I was fine. Evidently, they were wrong. The issue did finally get resolved but not without a fight on my behalf. I was spoken to very rudely by two reps and given a lot of miss information. I will never do business with Victoria's Secret again. Evidently good customer service is a secret with them and would not recommend anyone doing business with them.

Never received my Victoria's Secret card. I purchased items from Victoria's Secret and since have not shopped there at all because of how they handle their credit card and I wish I had never set up a credit card with him to begin with. I believe it's in collections with Comenity and they're very difficult to deal with. I refuse to deal with them at all. They have ruined my credit score! I believe I'll go for a bankruptcy regarding this company. I don't want to give them another dime more than I have to.
I have read a lot of comments that people have left and their situation seems worse than mine. Always talked to somebody I could barely understand on the phone and I just stopped talking to them and let this go and focused on trying to get my life back together after your horrible Stockholm syndrome like relationship with my ex fiance who made my life a living hell. If I use Victoria's Secret at all it will be cash only and that's it. They will never get any cards at all from me unless I use a prepaid card with a Visa logo... Yes. That's how low I feel about this company. Comenity was never helpful to me to try to resolve my credit issue. There are discrepancies with the credit reporting agencies regarding this company and one other one that I deal with and I need to clean up my credit report so I'll do what I have to do.

I went to Victoria's Secret looking for panties and while rummaging through the mess of unorganized underwear, I got pricked by two needle pins that were about 2 inches long. Since I got pricked, I filled a report, and while I was filling out paperwork, the manager leaves into the back and doesn't come back to fill out her section of the paperwork. Confused on my part, I asked another employee where she was and if I filled out everything correctly. She told me I can leave so I leave the store. I realized I should have gotten a copy of the report so I drove back to the store and asked to get a copy of the report for my records and the manager at the Victoria's Secret 1600 S Azusa Ave Rowland Heights, CA 91748 United States, refused and explained how it's confidential and then she started to explain how she doesn't have the paperwork.
I refused to leave because I simply wanted a copy since now my health is at risk and I now have to go to the doctors to get tested for HIV AIDS and hepatitis due to the needle stick injury. Since I refused to leave because I wasn't gonna leave without a copy of my report, she called multiple security officers to make me leave and caused a big scene because she didn't want to handle the situation with her customers in a correct manner. She avoided me and mistreated me, her customer service was very poor and unprofessional. Hepatitis and HIV AIDS pricks are a serious situation. I have a recording of the whole situation happening and I am furious on how this situation was much avoided by the manager. This is a serious situation that should not be turned down upon.

I had place an order at Victoria Secret and they had promo codes for free shipping over 50 and 30% off one item. I am an Angel Forever member, so I had added my items to my cart and had selected the offer codes to be automatically added to my order. The 30% off took my items total below the $50 and below the free shipping threshold. In doing so it automatically added the $8 shipping fee which I did not notice, I had saw the order was over $50 and thought I was good to go, I get my order confirmation in the email and saw I was charged shipping. I contact customer service to cancel my order. Their chat is 24/7. I was speaking to someone and they said as a courtesy they would waive my shipping fee because the order has already been charged and processed. They could not cancel my order. This is only an hour after I placed my order. We get disconnected so I chat back and get another person, but also get disconnected.
Third time I chat back they said, "Oh the first representative is only waiving half your shipping fee." I asked why half for a one time courtesy, they said, "Because you didn't make the threshold." I explained to them and they still said they could not waive it. They tell me to call the customer service number for my complaint and they also can't do anything. The lady I spoke to sounded really nice when I first called, but once I gave her my information and she looked up the chats she lost interest and the niceties dropped. People make mistakes I understand and I worked customer service before, but for a one time courtesy they could not do more than half is ridiculous especially when they can't cancel your order and they charge you before your order ships. Never shopping with them again. Horrendous service.

I went to Pink/ Victoria Secret last week to buy a bathing suit because they were having a semi-annual sale, and boy do I regret it! First, the store was atrocious, everything was everywhere. Second, I couldn't get help even though there were certainly enough employees. Then once found a bathing suit I had to wait in line for ten minutes to get into a fitting room when there were fitting rooms open on the other side! At this point, I just wanted to get my items and leave but nope I had to wait in the check out line 15 minutes. I've Pink/Victoria Secret PLENTY of business over the years, but not anymore I will never shop there EVER again!

Yesterday I went to Victoria's Secret for the semi annual. The PJs had the price of $ 9.99 very large, the same as the sportswear. The bras $ 6.99. I decided to try on a pair of sports pants, PJs and three bras. When I went to pay, I was surprised with the total price of my purchase and asked the cashier. She answered that they were $ 9.99 and up, the pants came out $29.99, the bras $16.99 and pajamas $29.99. I am very disappointed and this is cheating. Never in all the years that I live in this country did that happen to me. Bad marketing, they cheating people with offers that do not exist. I will never lose my time in that store anymore.

My item, which I had to order online because they did not have it at the store, was never delivered. USPS shipped it back to them bypassing a delivery to me. Victoria's Secret obviously charged me for it. I asked for a refund since I never saw an item - I placed 3 complaints with their customer service, and all 3 times I was promised a refund. Last time I talked to their customer service manager Jennifer **, and she promised a refund email within an hour - well, it has been 24 hours and I still do not see the email (I checked spam), and something tells me I will never see it. These people are incompetent liars, and this company with this customer service should not be doing business in US. Do not order anything online from them. They are the worst. Very disappointing.

These customer care associates have the worst communication skills. After talking to FIVE of them and finally receiving my package, I paid full price without two of the original items I ordered. All I wanted to do was change my address and that led to me getting overcharged and then "refunded" for two items I didn't even know were unavailable after I purchased them. But this refund just got me back to the original price I paid in the beginning for ALL of my items, so I basically paid the same amount I was originally going to pay with two less items because these associates don't care. SO FRUSTRATING. Each person responded to me like I was stupid and at fault when really they don't communicate everything properly or ever tell me my items were unavailable. I tried explaining my situation to each one and the each insisted I was wrong and didn't care to actually help me. I will be sure to cancel my VS credit card. (:

I had a lost package from Victoria's Secret. It totaled $478. I had it sent to my boyfriend’s parent’s house since I would be at work all day. So I had it sent to him. Well, the order was misplaced by FedEx so it never arrived. I called Victoria’s Secret to let them know. They gave me the runaround for 3 days that I would get a refund. Then I call on the 4th day, to find out I wasn’t going to receive a refund. They then said I need to speak to Eve **. Eve ** then said they would not refund me until I filed a police report for other orders that didn’t belong to me that were reported lost almost 2 years ago. I told her I didn’t know which ones she was talking about because I had always received the orders I had recently placed. She then said I needed to file a police report for those orders. I asked her to give me more info on those orders that were sent to my billing address. Eve said she couldn’t because they were not in my name.
I then asked why did she want me to claim them as mine if I had just moved to that address 1 year ago. I then told her it was a crime to file a fraudulent police report. Claiming orders that were not mine. Eve ** then said too bad I don’t get a refund. She then advised me to call FedEx and file a claim. I told her I already tried. FedEx said only the shipper can receive payment for lost merchandise. She then told me she had found my Facebook page and couldn’t believe I can afford Victoria’s Secret. I hung up on her because she kept being so rude. Then the next day I get a call from my bank. Someone called trying to get access and info to my account. They tried gaining access with my full card number.
I then asked who it was they said someone who at first claimed to be me. Then tried to report fraud on my account. Then tried to tell them about the lost package with Victoria’s Secret. She couldn’t fully verify my information so they flagged my account and transferred her to another department where they found out she worked for Victoria’s Secret and wanted information on my account. She wanted to know about recent transactions. I don’t know why she did that. It was Eve **. I don’t know what she was trying to do. I reported this to Victoria’s Secret corporate, they didn’t think what she did was wrong. They told me when your order with vs you give them the right to do such thing with your info. Luckily my bank wouldn’t give her any info at all without me on the line to verify everything. What a creep lady not to mention she called my mom and friend. She also asked them questions like where I live and work. Be careful people. This could happen to you.

It's shocking to me how some of these companies are being left behind in terms of technology and customer service. I asked to cancel an item from an order because I saw it in person and the item represented online looks so much better than the item in person. They couldn't do it. I was willing to receive the remainder of my order or cancel the whole thing. It didn't ship for TWO DAYS after my inquiry. Honestly these companies need to get up to speed or something, because in this day and age this is an unacceptable level of service.

I went to the store at Mohegan Sun. I always wore the wrong bra sizes and stopped wearing them. On top of that I can't wear back closes and got sensitivity problems, ended up being measured wrong and still ended up with a bra that looked ugly on me and didn't support me which made me so uncomfortable. But this store got me fitted right, made me feel sexy again, comfortable, good support. What can I say I love the bras. They don't itch or hurt me and fit great.
I don't know how different the sizes are from other stores since I wore a C mostly sometimes a D. From Victoria's I got a D in sport bras and DD in normal bras, they don't have a lot of padding so it seems different but it don't make you look bigger so don't worry about the size as long the bra fits and feel good. I can clearly say I'm really happy with how much patience they had, friendly they are, the knowledge of them and I happily say to shop there more, yes it's more expensive than Walmart and other stores but they give you worth for your money.

About 3 months ago I went to one of Victoria's Secret by my house and one of the girls discriminated me because of my looks. I am Hispanic, I was tired that day so I looked tired. My hair essentially done, I didn’t have make up on so she probably thought that I was going to steal or I didn’t have any money but she made me feel discriminated and it feels bad to a point that I don’t even go to that store anymore now. I go to another mall further because I don’t feel comfortable going to that store.
Today I called and choose the Spanish speaking person but the same. I was explaining her my issues about my last payment. She got irritated and hung up on me. Is sad that I believe that I am a good customer and don’t care. Is sad that being in this point of technology and there is not a way to make an automated payment. Is sad that Victoria's Secret only work with you once a year if you meet up with a payment. I was late one hour and Victoria's Secret punished me with a 27.00 fee and now is reported on my credit. Is so sad that Victoria's Secret won't retain their customers. As of next month I will not going back to one of your stores. Too bad that you don’t care about your customers.

Went into the store. Made payment. About a few days later I didn't see it in my account. Went into the store. Show them my receipt and even got loss prevention involved. They say they see us in the camera doing the payment but somehow our transaction just disappear from their systems. Not once they try to contact us or look into the camera or anything to see why they were over $574. And they would have to call corporate office to get it approve again. Went into the store again to do the transaction. They say it will clear in 24 hr. Still nothing. Corporate office call me and offer me $150 gift card for the mistake they did and how they treated us in the store. Really $150 isn't going to change anything. Definitely not going there anymore and is happen to close my card with them. Wonder how many transaction just disappear out of their system and no one follow through with this issue.

I give Victoria Secret products 5 stars BUT their credit card 1 star. They make it as hard as they can to pay your bill so they can charge fees. I have always paid on time and paid substantially more than the min payment so my pay, my payment record is clean. I have had many problems with trying to use their automotive system throughout the years. This last issue was the final straw that broke the camel’s back. I paid using the only checking account I have had in 25 year and completed the transaction writing down the confirmation number. Next statement shows my payment returned along with a $25 fee and $9.95 interest fee. I called to see out why. For some reason their computer system had changed one number and my checking account number could not be found. It took 1 hour to work it out - the payment was processed - the fees taken off.
A few weeks later I called to check on my account. GUESS WHAT? THE $25 FEE and THE $9.99 INTEREST FEE WAS STILL THERE. I talked to 3 more customer service people and none of them would reverse the charges. So I cancelled my credit card for my loyalty and 17 years of holding an Angel card was not worth $35 to them. I meant that little. I was treated rudely and will never ever use their credit card ever again. I suggest that if you want to buy nothing from them PAY WITH CASH OR USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF CREDIT CARD OUT THERE - DO NOT USE THEIR ANGEL CARD FOR YOU WILL BE HIT WITH FEES even if it is not your fault and you will be treated horribly.

I cancelled my card because I only applied for it because of pressure from the salesman and I paid it off and didn't want the temptation of charging in it again. Then they sent me this thirty dollars off and said I can't use it because I cancelled my account. I didn't have to use a credit card to be able to use it. Then all they care about is getting you to spend as much money as possible. I mean the sales people were helpful but it took me forever to find one who actually knew what she was taking about.

It is extremely frustrating when VS or PINK discontinues a fragrance without warning, especially because they assume you will love their new ones. They did this several years ago with Fruity and Bright and are now messing with Fresh and Clean. A few months ago they were having one of their buy 2 get one free so I did. I purchased several body mists and body lotion. I literally bathe in it so it's not like it sits on my shelf for months. I opened my last bottle and there was a totally different fragrance in the bottle although it was marked Clean and Fresh.
The travel bottles never smell like the large size either. I brought it back tonight and exchanged it and bought 2 additional. I tested all three and purchase a travel size. Shame on me for not testing the travel because guess what?? It is a different scent. Is there any type of quality assurance? Do they clean their machines before making a new fragrance. Now I am going to have to go back. Also, they discontinued the body lotion for the same fragrance. Why keep the scent if you are not keeping the entire line. Ridiculous. Getting very frustrated with them and wondering if quality is a concern at all.

Well the store in the town I live in stinks from their customer service to the selection. And mostly their customer service. So instead I decided to shop online. Initially I used the free shipping on purchases over $50. But during checkout I decided I wanted the items sooner than later so I opted to pay for 3 day shipping. Here I am on day 6 with no package arriving yet. And the lady from live chat was no more friendly than the associates in the store here. I can buy underwear and bras from Walmart and still be sexy for a quarter the price. And that’s what I intend to do from now on.

I recently purchased a Victoria Secret bra online, thinking I could take advantage of a sale. Well, the bra arrived and had an odor to it, similar to a chemical adhesive smell. Although I laundered the bra, the smell was still apparent. I have been a long term Victoria Secrets bra purchaser at the "brick & mortar" locations, however, I am simply appalled by the smell and the quality. It is not safe to purchase Victoria Secret garments online. It gives the impression of poor quality, design and counterfeit production, which is not up to the normal Victoria Secret standard. Such poor quality and putrid smells, leads me to believe that the garments are being manufactured aboard. SHAME ON YOU VICTORIA SECRET!!!

Growing up with VS creates loyalty to certain products. I'm so upset how so many things become discontinued without warning. Women have a signature perfume they love all their lives. Why would you discontinue your best fragrance but yet keep the worst stinky ones? Divine was best ever. Strawberries and champagne best ever. Gone gone with no warning. You blow up email through with promotional bullcrap but you can't warn what's being taken away so fans can stockpile? What kind of customer loyalty is that. Then an entire clothing line disappears. There goes pretty dresses. I do like the Pink line but clearly those are made for young skinny girls. Then you drop the entire makeup line after I was attached to 2 eyeshadow. Wth is going on. Horrible and depressing.

On December 19, 2017, I purchased two gift card for 70.00 each at the VS in Escondido, CA. I placed each gift card in Christmas cards and I gave them to my nieces on December 25th. A few days later my nieces tried to redeem these cards and the cards had zero balances. My receipt shows that the transaction at the VS store correctly added the 70.00 to each card; however, the cards were redeemed on December 21st at a VS store in Ontario, CA - 82 miles from my house.
I have never been to Ontario. The gift cards were in my house, next to my Christmas tree from December 19th until my nieces opened their cards on Christmas morning. After spending weeks contacting VS and my bank, and after VS completing an "investigation", VS states that they are not liable for the loss of the money on my two gift cards and they are not going to do anything to return the money to me or my nieces. One of the customer service representatives at VS said that someone likely took a picture of the card at the counter (with the gift card numbers) and waited until there was money loaded onto the card, then redeemed the card in Ontario. The fact that they will not return the money to me is terrible. I will never do business with Victoria's Secret ever again. They are horrible!

The customer service was horrible at best. They don’t care about what happening to you at all. I’m sure they will always try to find a way to get money out of your pocket. Getting a Angel card was a big mistake that I could ever done to myself. I got a payment overdue because of some idiot over VS said they sent an billing statement way before the due date, guess what? The statement came 15 days after the assessment fee got applied including interest. I called to get help of this particular situation only found out that they can’t do anything about that and the representative has no responsibility and ability to this problem at all.
This guy keep blaming the postal office fault to why the mail didn’t come in, instead like other company try to help you waive it and solve your actual problem at hand. I got into a fight with them before he sent me to their manager who said she doesn’t handle any of these problems and tried to forward me to someone else, you know this company pack tons of retards when their manager don’t even know to solve the problem. I rested my case here, I would recommend never make a mistake doing business with them. It’s just a bunch of selfless morons trying to get every penny out of your pocket.

In April of 2017 I received a bill from a purchase I made on my Angels Rewards card. At that time I was told I also owed late fees. This was resolved and the late fees were removed Or so I thought. On February 7, 2018 I received 6 calls from An unknown caller. At 8 am on February 8th another call came through and I answered. It was a collection agency saying that I owed $86.28 from February 2017. I never received any bills or notifications regarding any money owed. I refused to pay and I called Victoria's Secret which put me through to Comenity Bank who handles their credit branch of the VSAngel card. I was told that although my bill was paid in full a year ago and paid through their customer service, I had paid after the due date so finance charges occurred.
She explained how no bills are sent but that their process is - a call will occur from an unknown number, ring twice and hang up. No message will be left. If no one answers after 10 attempts the account is thrown into collections. She immediately offered to zero out my balance. I am canceling my card and I warn others to be careful and so your homework. I have researched now and see others whose credit has been dinked and worse, ruined by having a line of credit through VSAngel Cards.

I recently went into Victoria's Secret to purchase some bras. Having a bit of extra money I figured I would indulge and get myself some nice bras. BAD idea! I purchased 4 bras, all underwire bras in different styles. On every single bra the underwire is FAR too long and extends upward closer to my armpit area than any other brand of bras I own. I spent over $100 on bras and can't wear any of them without getting a sore from the outer edge of the underwire. I'd also like to note that I was measured by the Victoria's Secret staff members and purchased the suggested size. So it can't be the fact that I simply purchased the wrong size bra??? Get it together guys! You're supposed to be quality, not just a regretful purchase! I have attached photos of a black bra from Victoria's Secret and a white bra of another brand (that is VERY comfortable) on top of it to show the difference in wire length.

EXTREMELY BAD customer service! I have ordered 2-3 weeks ago three items from a special they were running. I wanted to have the sports bra for a while now and because they were running a special I decided to buy a set (as I have never bought myself a matching set). First, the order didnt came through but it was deducted from my PayPal account. Later I tried it again and it did came through and I was refunded for the other order. After some days (on the 13th of December) I received a message saying my order was being processed and that I would receive an email when my package is ready. On the 18th I still didn't receive an email.
So I clicked on the button to check my order status and it said, “We're sorry. We do not recognize either the order number or the email address you have provided. Please re-enter the information.” After I send an email about this, I received an email saying that it does show in their system and that my order should be delivered by the end of January the third and they provided me with a tracking number. But all the links they provided didnt work. And it still didnt show my order so I contacted them again. As a response I received some steps I had to follow but these were the same steps I already did. Also they said it worked for them so it didnt seem to bother them that their system doesnt work for their customers. Eventually I received a shipping confirmation on the 21st of December but it only shows 2 products and not the bra which was the reason I purchased in the first place.
So I contacted them about this as it showed a message saying that I may receive several shipments to complete the fulfillment of my order. So I asked them if I receive the bra later or what is going on? As a respond I got that ''Due to a processing error, the sports bra was no longer available, and could not be shipped with my order as initially expected''. As a result they processed a refund for this item through a third party and that I have to allow 7 to 10 business days for processing and 1 to 2 billing cycles for the credit to appear on my monthly statement.
Furthermore, I received a link to browse for an alternate selection and if so, I have to place a new order. THIS IS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. I bought this as a set, so I expect at least a full refund of all items, or a very good compensation for the many problems I experienced. I had to find out myself that one item was missing from the shipment summary (the item was still visible in my order account).

I placed an order with VS online (over $200), and shortly after making payment I did a double take on the size I had ordered, and realized I had asked for the incorrect size. I immediately contacted VS to let them know that this had happened, and that I needed to change the size. This was all done late at night Australia time, (3am US time) so there was no response from VS (understandably) until the next day.
My dissatisfaction stems from the fact that despite my immediate efforts (via two different avenues of proper communication) I was advised that "Sorry, but the distribution center packaged the order immediately after receiving payment, and it would be making a timely arrival to me in 17 days." Given the fact that I ordered at night Australia time (when the entire US was asleep) that seems highly unlikely. I also find the comment of a "Timely arrival" ludicrous. 17 days later is timely?
I ordered something from another company at the same time I did this one, and it has an arrival date a full 10 days sooner. So your assertion that VS is not capable of changing the order or canceling it does not ring true. Might be nice to just admit the truth that once they have your money they don't care. Yes, of course I can send it back (and will) but the cost of freight from Australia to the US is horrible. So my expensive lesson is listed here for others as a precautionary tale. Especially if you live overseas.

I really like Victoria's Secret but the website is a JOKE. It's slow, and their phone app is even worse. I would think they are large enough to look into their infrastructure. Makes them look extremely unprofessional when it takes an hour to order some bras. I won't order online again.

I was at the Melbourne Airport store (T4 terminal). I had the most horrible customer service experience that I have ever had. The young lady was sooo rude and incredibly hostile for someone that I only said hello to. She handed me my product without putting it in a bag and became even ruder when I dared ask for one. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MY SERVICE AGAIN. SO DISAPPOINTED.

I recommend never ordering from Victoria's Secret. They are racist and say they do not make their clothes for ** women. I had a problem with an order I place, on different occasions, causing me to have to request a refund for never receiving the items. They are racist and the rep said "oh you live in Baltimore City, MD that's why you're not getting the packages." I said, "I don't understand." She said, "That is the ghetto and Victoria's don't want to do business with the ghetto." I asked for a manager and she asked me to email my police report and case number. That's all she could do. Something had to be done about this, it's totally unacceptable behavior. I will never order or buy anything from Victoria's Secret.

In August 2014 I went to Victoria's Secret and purchased 4 bras. I had the cash to pay for them. When the cashier rang me up, she said it was going on my card. I told her I didn't have a card and wanted to pay cash. She said they had my information in the system from the old card I had that had expired and didn't want cash payment. I again tried to pay in full for my purchase but the cashier wouldn't take the money. A month later I lost my job. When I got the bill I again went in store to try to pay it and again the cashier wouldn't accept payment.
So a couple years go by and I get a call from an attorney's office telling me they were going to file a civil suit against me for over $2,000.00 for the unpaid bill. I explained what happened and still am having to pay 3 times the amount of my purchase, a purchase I tried to pay for in store at the time of purchase. It's not enough they charge a ridiculous amount for their products, they manipulate the system to get paid even more. I'd rather go bra-less than wear their products.

Just read some reviews behind and I am totally agree with other saying. I've got a credit card in Victoria's Secret store and they informed me wrong about how the card works; so cause of that I didn't make a payment for a month and didn't know I've got charged the late fee (cause Victoria's Secret assistant told me there's no fees at all in this card). Next month I've got a phone call from Comenity Bank; the representative told me that I need to make a payment which I did (was like 2nd day of the month) and I asked him if there no late fees. He said that I will not be charged. When I checked my account I was shocked I was charged for late fee twice!! Even though the bank assistant told me different. After several mails from $60 fees they returned me $17 which is doesn't make any sense! Worst customer service experience ever! Thanks.

Never worn. They told me I have to exchange bras for bras and only gave me a credit for 40,00 after spending all that money for 4 bras. Very bad experience with them today and the male behind the counter looked at me funny. Hey it was their merchandise and I had receipts. They should have given me at least half of what I paid I feel.

Overall I would consider myself very satisfied with the Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Lift. The word “Bombshell” refers to push-up padding that adds a two cup lift, as opposed to the standard one cup lift. At this point in time, Victoria’s Secret offers the two cup lift in a variety of products. I own two of the standard bombshell everyday bras, one multiway bombshell bra, and two of the two cup lift swim tops.
Because the bra lift is offered in a variety of styles and sizes I would honestly say it is for any women, especially those who would like an extra boost in her cleavage as well as her confidence. As stated above, I own quite a few of their two cup lift products, so my criteria for judging differs for each style. Below I will list my top criteria for each bombshell style.
Every day and Multiway Bra - 4 stars. Comfort – 5 out of 5 stars. The material is comfortable and soft against skin. The straps are made out of the same comfortable material. This is important because of the amount of padding in the bra it could easily get uncomfortable very fast. I was able to wear it all day without any discomfort. Durability – 5 out of 5 stars. These bras will cost you anywhere from $50-$60 dollars per bra. When spending that much on one bra, it is important that it lasts. I honestly feel like they are worth every penny. I’ve had some of these bras for years and still the fit is as good as the day I bought them.
Appearance - 3.5 out of 5 stars. As far as under my clothes, the bras always look natural. The padding in them is expertly placed so that they really don’t look as padded as they are. As far as appearance of the bra itself, overtime they can start to look a little frayed if you don’t wash and dry them correctly. I recommend machine wash but air dry. Functionality (Multiway) – 4 out of 5 stars. I have worn the bra all three ways (both straps, one strap, and no straps) and for the most part it did exactly what it was supposed to do. With the strapless wear I was a little disappointed that the lift wasn’t exactly where I wanted it to be. But throughout the entire event I was at my cleavage looked great and the bra stayed in place all night.
Swim Tops – 3.5 stars. Functionality – 5 out of 5 stars. I’ve worn them in public pools, private pools, hot tubs, and the ocean and I have yet to be disappointed. They stay in place and I felt completely secure no matter what I was doing (surfing, diving, etc.). Durability – 4 out of 5 stars. I bought my first one in high school and my second one in college and they both still look brand new and the fit is still top notch. Appearance – 3 of 5 stars. They both have cute designs and look good against my skin tone, my issue is with the padding. The padding in the swimsuits isn’t as subtle as the padding in the bras. If you’re anything above a B cup your ** will definitely draw attention. This is definitely not an everywhere swimsuit. But whether you’re looking to go to a pool party or on a vacation, if you’re looking for a swimsuit that’s going to make you stand out – I highly recommend this one.

Over the last few days I have been shopping at the VS store and Easton and Eastland mall (Columbus, Ohio) because they had had a wicket sale! With that said I have spent 400.00 or more in three days! So I went to the Eastland mall yesterday, still had my pajamas on just so I could get the last of the Dream lotions that were there along with some more Temptation. When I walked into the store I was greeted by a store clerk who asked me if I needed some help with anything in which I told her no. My cousin and I was just shopping around. She then said okay let me know if you need anything.
Maybe 5 second after that ** came asked me the same thing. I told her no I was fine just looking, but if I needed some help I would definitely come grab one of them for some help. When I tell you that at this point she followed me around the whole store. Every corner I turned she was right behind me not even making it a secret that she was following me around! I then said, "Mama can you please stop following me, you're making me uncomfortable." She said she was just doing her job! So at this point I'm furious and ready to check out! So I get to the counter, pay for my things. 17 things to be exact!!! And I asked the girl that was checking me out what was her name and who was the manager. She then told me that the lady that was following me was the store manager.
So I'm about to walk out the store and she (**) said "Excuse me. Are you going to pay for the body mist that you have in your bag?" (I had a MCM backpack on with not only body mist but also lotion from a prior purchase over the weekend) so I said "Are you NOW accusing me of stealing?" I said "You have been following around the store since I got here because of what I have on. From the moment you looked at me you already made in your mind that I was a thief!" Her reply was "I'm ** like you. I'm not racial profiling you." I said "I never said anything about race. That was you!" She said "You can just leave the store. And NEVER COME BACK. We don't need your little money!" I kinda lost it at this point!
We got into a heated argument and she called the police on me after calling me a **! She said "When you call corporate tell them my name is ** by the way!" NEVER IN MY LIFE have I been so humiliated and never again will it happen again! I was escorted out the mall like a common thief and I so didn't appreciated it!

Wanting to get the products and believing the VS person on the phone, I put the order through again when the systems came back online. I was told PayPal could reverse the funds hold. PayPal can't, the vendor, VS can only release the funds, if they don't claim the funds then after thirty days the money is returned to me. VS do not want to release the funds and keep saying the funds release after 5-7 days from PayPal. This is not true. Keeping funds after being notified of the error and not having a valid order is tantamount to theft. VS have the ability to release the held funds but are not doing so. VS is entirely responsible as the systems error was theirs.

When the package wasn't delivered on January 5th at 5:30, I called to make sure a second package was not lost. At that time they said they didn't understand why someone would mislead me to think a new package was being sent, since policy is to wait 3 days after the expected date which is the 6th not the 2nd. So I am to call them back on the 9th if I don't receive my package. Two different responses and no resolution in sight for at least another 5 days.

First let me say I was a Manager at a Victoria's Secret for close to four yrs and prior to that a asst manager then Co-Manager. I also was awarded for my exceptional inventory and loss prevention during my time as Manager. If Brand Standard Customer Service is being practiced in a store your Shrink will I swear decrease by a drastic percentage. Second by Brand Standard Service I in NO WAY MEAN embarrassing customers due to race, the way they look, age or social status (Or what you presume they have to spend). Customer Service is exactly as it sounds and should never be different from one customer to another.
This brings me to my complaint. On Dec 23 my best friend and I went to the Victoria's Secret in Eureka CA. We were finishing up our Christmas shopping and were greeted warmly by not one but a few sales specialist who exactly as they should helped us with promotions sizes etc. What I noticed was a poorly dressed (Victoria's Secret had a strict dress code) Woman zeroing on two college aged girls - one was ** American the other Asian. She really didn't offer any help just more or less hounded them followed them around.
Around the same time these two entered the fitting room as we did. We offered our packages to be held at the counter and I actually gave the nice associate helping us my items to be purchased. My friend had a couple pairs of yoga pants to try on one being for us and another couple pairs in another size for her daughter... How we were treated as well as the other two ladies was beyond rude and unprofessional. The associate running the fitting rooms was providing fabulous service only to be excused very rudely by another associate who rudely pounded on both fitting room doors over and over not offering help but demanding what was tried on... My friend was mortified as I was and the other two shoppers. I honestly wanted to walk out but last minute shopping had us left with not much choice. This associate had literally left a bad taste in my mouth.
At the register again a very Customer Service friendly young lady offered a couple nice promos to us which we took advantage of. This Rude associate did next floored me she came to the register removed our purchases from the bag and questioned us on what sizes we purchased and when she realized we had exactly what we had taken in dressing room and she was wrong. She rudely mumbled something glared and walked off... Mind you she had created such a scene that every customer in line was staring. The cashier was beet red. This person had really accused us in front of two lines of customers of stealing yoga pants which cost 25 bucks while we spent over 250.
As we walked out my friend stopped and questioned why this associate had loudly and extremely rudely accused her of stealing a pair of yoga pants. She didn't reply and my friend informed her she would be filing a complaint. She then said that was fine and she was the manager. I was floored honestly in my twenty plus yrs in retail management, Vickies has always been the strongest in Customer Service by far. They provided a high quality level of training and they had high expectations for their employees. This was absolutely the worst service I have ever received.
When I pointed out that years back I HAD MANAGED THIS store she said good for me but it was her store. I replied not for long with her skills because she won't have customers - not to mention her attire was not how a manager would dress or allow her staff to dress. Truly love this store and closest next one is over three hrs but I will drive it or shop online. Wish there was a minus stars.

On 12/20/16 I visited Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ, USA and purchased a sweater in their store with a gift card given to me by my dad with an amount of $200.00. On 12/21/16 I visited Jersey Gardens at Elizabeth, NJ and went in to the VS store. I got the stuff I wanted and asked my boyfriend to pay for me with my gift card with the remaining balance of $180.01 while I still looked around the store. Then all of a sudden I see him running towards me telling me that the gift card does not have any money left in it. I go up to the cashier and he keeps insisting that the gift card has $0 balance on it. At this point I'm confused and thinking that I grabbed the wrong gift card from my other wallet that stayed at home and started doubting myself.
The cashier named Jean checks once more and prints it out for me and shows me I have nothing on it. He then tries again as I keep insisting and saying "how weird. I'm pretty sure this is the gift card my dad gave me." I ended up buying my stuff with my credit card as I already felt like a fool for possibly taking the wrong gift card to the store. Since this store is an outlet I knew that all sales are final but I still asked that if I solved the problem quickly by calling customer service if I can come back to return the stuff and get my money reimbursed and repurchase the same merchandise with my gift card (the only reason I went to buy there was because I had a gift card). He said no but then mentioned that I could come back and speak to his manager since what happened to me is really unfair. No complaints there.
I ended up calling the gift card customer service and they told me that I had made a purchase of $19.99 at store #50035 on 12/20/16 at 9:08 p.m. (which I did in Garden State). Also that on 12/21/16 at 3:29 p.m. I had redeemed the remaining balance of $180.01 at the same store #50035 (I was at Jersey Gardens at that time or on my way there). They asked if I wanted to fill out a form through the phone and file a case and I said yes. Then they passed me to a specialist who took my information down and told me they would contact me within 4 weeks. That corporate is going to investigate to see what happened. I then asked my boyfriend to drive me to Paramus to see if they can help me with it. Maybe they could do something like check what was purchased by whoever purchase it. The manager told me she didn't have the power to check the logs.
I figured she could check the transaction done that day at 3:29 p.m. and who rang that person up to see if they remember anything. But she took my number down and name instead and tried calling customer service on my behalf but they told her I had to call back myself to ask me questions about the gift card. I called once again and was directed to the same gift card customer service and was told I had to wait for corporate to investigate and so that took me nowhere.Now, my thinking is that an employee in that store is a crook and somehow got a hold of my gift card number. Especially because:
1. I had the gift card on me the WHOLE time from the time my dad gave it to me to the time of my first transaction to the time of my second attempt at my other transaction in Elizabeth. The weird thing is that I never handed my gift card to the cashier. I did swipe it though so I don't know if they can see the whole gift card number in their screen.2. The pin # in the back was never scratched off until AFTER I found out I had been somehow robbed and I decided to scratch it off myself.
3. The remaining balance of $180.01 was redeemed at the SAME store that I just happened to had made a purchase in the previous day.
I now have to wait until they get back to me with the results of the "investigation" which I don't even know what kind of information they're going to look into as per when I asked the customer service they told me they didn't know, that I had to wait. I'm hoping they actually do something about it and not only give me my money back but catch the person who did this because it is so unfair how some idiot comes and just takes it like nothing. It's the holidays and people instead of giving are taking what's not theirs and it's very upsetting. I will update when I find anything out if they contact me back.

She grabs the bra out of my hand and proceed to look on the receipt. Why she does this I don't know. Then she proceeds to say "I don't see this bra on your receipt... did you pay for it." My response was "yes I payed for it. I payed for everything I purchase". Keep in mind that I work at the Galleria part time and have been for over a year... and this is only maybe my 3rd or 4th time at this location. I spent almost 300.00 on this purchase so I continued to check out with GWEN but at this time I'm really pissed on the inside. She then says I don't see a tag on it and it's not on the receipt. Then she scrolls down some more and says "maybe this is it". While trying to keep my bra, she asked me what size I needed and I tell her like 37D.
She comes around the counter and measure me without asking me. "Why are you measuring me when I have gave you my size." Anyhow I told her if you don't have this bra I am keeping it because it looks really loved the way it looked on... just wanted it a little bigger. Then she goes back to the counter and continues to look for the same bras on the receipt than she claims doesn't have a tag when I clearly staring at it. So I let her continue. She proceeds to ask me again did I pay for the item. I explained to her "yes and I counted all of my items before I left the store. I'm pretty sure I payed for everything." Then she says "I would hate for you to not have payed for it. I would have to keep it." My response "I payed for it." I get the bra back and put it in my bag. After completion of my transaction, I pull the bra back out of my bag. I asked her what her name was. She stated GWEN.
I said "okay. Now what was the reason you asked me if I payed for this bra?" She stated again "because I didn't see it on your receipt or a tag on it." In turn told her that it's a tag on the bra and that she really ruined my shopping experience with Victoria's Secret by defamation of character. "Number two why were you looking for it on the receipt in the first place. You asked me repeatedly." GWEN never apologized even after I pulled the bra out of the bag and said it has tag on it. She said "oh yeah I noticed it when you pulled it out." Needless to say, I am going to return the previous items I purchase plus the purchase I received yesterday and I had calling to cancel my account. GWEN was very rude and disrespectful.

Every year I usually spend about $500 at Christmas in the store. This year I have already made some online purchases from VS. I went online again & tried to buy a perfume. It is listed as marked a certain price until you click it, then the price changes more than half. After wasting my time on CHAT I was told that they are out of the perfume. I said then "why don't you take it off the site or change the price?" Every transaction is always an issue and DON'T ever need to return anything. They have the worst policy ever. They act rude if you need to exchange. This year MACY'S will be getting my $500 because they actually have GREAT customer service and most likely better quality. I will NEVER shop VS again. IT SUCKS.

Just moved to Spanish Fort, Alabama 10 days ago. I received a gift of flannel PJs from Victoria's Secret from a friend in Florida where I moved from. She had asked for a gift receipt but I did not see one. I tried to exchange the PJs for a different size of the same product, which is in-store in CURRENT WINTER INVENTORY NOW. Without the receipt they were going to give me $4.99 credit towards the purchase of a $54.50 pair of PJs which still had all the price tags on them. The two young ladies and I guess member of management, ALSO YOUNG (which never came to the desk) conversed by hollering to one another across the store. One girl at the checkout said it had been purchased with Victoria's Secret Rewards. They had no way of knowing anything because there was no receipt. I have since contacted my friend that bought them and she said she does not have Victoria Rewards and is trying to find her receipt.
The purchase was made approximately 3 weeks ago. I called corporate "customer no service", and was told that their policy is "without a receipt you are given the lowest price this product has been sold at". She said it was $19.99 but she would give me a $34.99 credit in-store. That is not what my friend paid for the pajamas, plus all I want is just to EXCHANGE the size. To me this is stealing from a customer by Victoria's Secret. I guess the reason I'm writing is because I am so infuriated and have never been so humiliated in my life as I was in the store, and to please warn others who may be thinking about shopping for their friends, family or loved ones at Victoria's Secret for Christmas or any other occasion. DO NOT waste your money there. Spend it where you are appreciated and treated with courtesy. The corporate "no customer service" rep actually indirectly indicated that they had no way of knowing that the product had even been purchased.
The way I took that was she was insinuating that it could have been stolen. The PJs were in a Victoria's Secret box and bag. So to those of you who may be thinking about purchasing items from there for Christmas presents, please make sure you get a gift receipt. In case the gift has to be returned or exchanged, you do not want the recipient to go through this...Or at least, I hope you don't. BETTER YET...DO NOT SHOP AT VICTORIA'S SECRET. They will never get any more of my money for products that are already overpriced, and some lack quality. Horrible experience in store and by phone with someone who is supposed to make things right.

Admittedly I've never been much of Victoria's Secret shopper. I used to buy my underwear at Target or Walmart, but after getting a new job and having more money to spend, I decided to give it a whirl. I decided my old, tattered bras were pretty drab for a 21 year old and wanted something much sexier and flattering. I went into a Victoria's Secret at a larger mall in my state and was greeted by a bubbly sales person who was extremely helpful. She directed me to the bras I was looking for (the "Add 2-Cups Push Up Bras) and informed me that they were on sale 2 for $42.00!, and that I would also receive a free tote. On their website they are about 50 dollars each, so naturally I was ecstatic. She also measured me and helped me adjust the bra. She was helpful without being overbearing.
The bras themselves are gorgeous, and a far cry from the run down bras I was using before. I wear a 36 DD I know, I was shocked when she measured me too and these bras make my breasts look AMAZING. They give me that gorgeous, movie star cleavage, adding lift while also shaping them. I had no idea just how poorly fitting my old bras were until I put on one of these. I plan on getting these in every color as soon as possible. The only reason I didn't give my experience 5 stars is because of my experience with the cashier at the counter. She was a far cry from the energetic blond I had encountered just minutes ago. She lacked personality, seemed cold and even mean. She took her time, sighing and seeming irritated. Fortunately I was so happy with my bras and my prior experience that I didn't pay her any mind.

I have recently visited the Victoria's Secret store located in Tacoma, WA and have been disgusted with the way I have been treated. On October 08th 2016, I went to the Victoria's Secret and was completely ignored by the sales associates. This is not the first time that I have been treated this way at the same store location. I was in the pantie section looking through the various colors and prints when another customer came next to where I was. She was promptly greeted by a sales associate and was told of the sale and promotions and then was promptly given a bag. This sales associate was so rude that she went over me when I was looking inside the slide out drawers for my size and opened up a door next to where I was and told the customer that she can find her size here. I was livid. The customer witnessed how rude the associate was by going over me that she felt bad and I told her that I can wait while she gets her size.
Next, I approached a sales associate and asked to speak to the manager. She didn't let me speak to the manager! She instead asked me what happened and I told her. She really didn't care that much about my experience. I decided to leave the store without my purchase because of the poor customer service. While I was leaving the store, one of the sales associates made a rude and condescending remark telling me, "Have a nice day!" I will never return to this store. These people need to be trained on customer service and not judge people and then not asking if a customer needs assistance since, my money is just as green as everybody else's. Avoid Victoria's Secret at all costs!

I love Victoria's Secret but I think they are partnering with the wrong business (Comenity Bank), which is so disappointing. Well first of all THIS IS A CREDIT CARD. You should be grateful when your customer wants to pay. And when I say pay, paying always on time in full balance etc. This is America, people are busy working making something to pay their bills each month. Who would think for dates when their one, two three bills will be deducted per month? Nobody. That's why people set up an "AUTO PAY" so I set it up right? Well guess what, I saw on my statement a late payment fee of $28 on top of my balance which I didn't even thought at all because it was all in automatic payment straight from my bank account.
Paying it is no problem but reporting it to the credit bureau as a late payment offender is **. It should be illegal and definitely is immoral to tagged your "valued" customers a late payment offender to the credit bureau without even trying to call them first or at least send an email reminder that it's not an auto pay they set up online, it's only one scheduled payment. After one month it's not working as automatic? It was a trick, very misleading. It's unfair to the consumers like me who's been working so hard to maintain an excellent payment history on the my credit score across all the credit bureaus for my mortgage plans soon.:( Oh well.

In no way was I told that this rewards program involved a credit card which is appalling because I'm sure thousands of people do not make that minimum payment not because they didn't have the money but because they were simply unaware, because of the SEVERE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. I liked VS before. After applying for a "rewards program" because I genuinely wanted to become a more frequent customer and got shoved with this deal uninformed, I will never shop here again.

I absolutely like Victoria's Secret's Vanilla & Coconut (Coconut Passion) fragrance mist. It's one of my favorite Victoria's Secret's scents. To me, the scent feels warm and the combination of coconut and vanilla gives that cozy, chocolatey scent (perhaps, I'm just such a chocoholic) -- it's comforting. Well, there are some vanilla-scented perfumes/mists that make me wanna vomit after it reaches my olfactory nerves, VS's product somehow is an exception to that (at least for me). The scent also stays for a long time. I usually buy mine at the Duty Free stores so it's cheaper. I also think that it somehow ensures that the product is authentic. And in addition to that, this particular scent that I like is a rare find in department stores in my area. An 8.4 fl. oz is usually around $12-$15. I got so accustomed to this scent, so I will always consider buying it. Thanks VS... :).

One was for my friend's graduation party and the other 2 for me. After I looked at the receipt I see that they charged me 3 Dreams Angels Blush and 2 Strawberries and Champagne perfumes. They charged me a total of $13.25. I even said to my friend, who was next to me in the checkout "This seems like a lot of money.", the cashier looks at the list of products I was about to purchase, looks at me, and says nothing to me. Knowing that I was at Victoria's Secret, I thought to myself "Well, this store is kind of expensive, so the price makes sense." I get home and check the receipt and notice the extra charge for the perfumes.
Now I can't do anything about it but I have learned a valuable lesson, "ALWAYS CHECK THE RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE REGISTER OR THE STORE! Otherwise they won't believe you when you tell them you have been charged more than the actual amount if you tell them if you come back to the store and tell them because they will just say "You could have left at home and be telling us here that we charged you more." ALWAYS CHECK THE RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE CASHIER. Don't let this happen to you, learn from my mistake.

I went to Victoria's Secret and availed of their promo that time: 5 panties for $27 and bras 3 for $30 I think... I'm not certain. Anyway, I chose the cotton panties which I love rather than the silk or semi-silk ones. So, there's a variety of designs and cuts to choose from depending on what would suit your personality. I took my time in choosing the design and cut that I want and for my other relatives too as a present when I come back. And so I was feeling the material because, there were some items that I know would not last a long time. There were pure cotton ones and others were of different kind. Something that you know you'll not be comfortable in.
I guess it pays to be trained in the Philippines wherein we know the type of cloth being used. We check for the quality and feel the product before buying anything. We even check the seams too if they were perfectly sewn. So in the end, we know if it's durable, comfortable or if it would only last a couple of months etc. But anyway, I finally found the items that I want and I was happy with what I got. When I got home, I had the helper hand-washed the ones I bought for myself so that it's ready for use. And when I finally had the chance to use each one of them including the bras, I was right about the comfort. It was so comfortable and the fit is just perfect. No wonder they're up as one of the leading shop for undergarments. They're truly made of high quality material (well, that is if you're very keen in choosing) and comfort fit for the needs of women of all ages and culture. I highly recommend their product.

I bought a "holiday related" bra but it didn't fit. I wanted to return it, still had the original receipt, but the sales girl made up a lie about how "I am not allowed to return holiday-related items after the holiday has ended." WHAT. THE. FUDGE. I didn't bother arguing with her because we were already holding up the line, which is embarrassing enough. By the time I got out to my car I realized she must have thrown the receipt away because it wasn't in my bag. Deliberate? Probably. They roll their eyes and look at me like I'm a criminal. Another time, I pointed out to the counter girl how the bras should ring up for less because there was a sign RIGHT IN FRONT of them stating the sale price.
She just looked at me like I had ruined her day, and then disregarded my comment and continued to ring them up. Didn't even offer to go see the sign or apologize or nothing. Without her even thanking me for my business, I told her to check out the sign because it was misleading and might confuse other shoppers. Not only do the sales associates lack knowledge when it comes to their own in-store offers and promotions, they are RUDE and are unprofessional.

My work is customer service too and I won't say that to my customers, that just made me felt like I'm a beggar begging for a underwear, and she (the cashier) didn't wanna give it to me but she didn't have a choice because that's her job.

Purchased 14 undergarments and noticed less than 5 mins after payment that there was a shipping charge. Called CSR immediately to cancel order and was told unable to do so since the order is already in process. I can return items to store but no shipping charges will be refunded. Then attempted to pay bill and online banking payment was rejected saying account number incorrect. Online banking contacted CSR and the number was correct. Still incurred late fees. Quality of garment - very poor. The material is now very thin and rips easily leaving holes and or stitching comes loose.

I recently bought 2 swimsuits and 2 cover-ups from VS's website. The suits fit perfectly but I didn't love the cover-ups. I was able to take them into a local VS retail store in the mall for a full refund. I didn't have to deal with the hassle of shipping them back although they provide a mailing label in case I chose that option as well. This made me really happy. I love my suits and got tons of compliments in Costa Rica! Pura vida!

I went to the Victoria's Secret in Tukwila, WA and made a purchase the Saturday before Christmas. We knew it would be busy because of the holidays, but there were two lines with about four people in each. We both went to a different line to see which moved faster. Neither line moved for about 20 minutes. Finally, they bring up another cashier, and she goes to take people just getting in line, so everybody who's been waiting said NO and she started alternating between the lines. So, because I spent a certain amount of money I earned a VS $20 Reward Card. The cashier put it in my bag and said it was good January 21-February 21. I live about 45 minutes from two different stores, so the other night we went to the one in Auburn, WA.
We first walked in and I asked the girl on the floor how to use the coupon and I showed it to her. She said it worked on anything in VS and Pink and to just give it to the cashier. She then was very helpful with showing me things on the floor. So my mom and I go to the register and give the girl my coupon. She asked if I had the card for it. I told her that what I had just handed to her was all that I was given. She said "it should have come with a gift card". I said I never received this. She said that other customers had that happen as well, and I should call customer care. So I do, get put on hold numerous times, have to repeat my story, etc.
Now we have been in the store for a half hour. My mom and I are both getting annoyed, frustrated, irritated, and fed up. My mom asks for the manager, who turns out to be the girl who helped us in the beginning. Her name is Lauren and she is the assistant store manager. She heard what was happening the whole time and didn't come up until we asked for her. My mom said that she has been on hold for 25 minutes and now on the phone they are saying that they are closing. Lauren said that she could not honor the discount because it would look fraudulent on her side and she could lose her job.
My mom told her she would leave a copy of her license, name, number, and she could talk to the woman on the phone. Lauren was extremely rude and unprofessional, rolls her eyes, takes off twenty dollars, and says "It's all good, we're over it. I'm over it". What kind of customer service is that?!?! I work retail customer service, and that is not how you handle anything! She did not say, "I can honor that", "I apologize for the inconvenience", Nothing! It was terrible. My mom had to threaten to walk out of the store and never come back, in order for us to receive our EARNED $20 discount. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I spoke with a representative named Diane about not receiving my Angel Reward Card of $40. I was told it was sent out on 12/9/2015. Since it wasn't received as of yet, Diane offered to give me the reward code for the amount. I was advised to visit the store and provide the code that was given. I live over 1.15hrs away from the store. I was off and made the trip because I truly enjoy shopping at VS in Hampton, Virginia. I shopped and got to the register just to be informed that I was not able to use the reward code given. It was on a Friday, the store was extremely busy and I was holding up the line waiting for the manager Cindy to come and tell me the same thing without even attempting to try. I instantly call the number given by the manager Cindy. I gave my concern and had to be transferred just to repeat it all again.
At this moment I was totally annoyed, embarrassed, frustrated, and very vexed at what I was experiencing around your customers. People in line were there agreeing how it takes too long and sometimes never for them in getting their reward from VS credit card. The representative Abrian over the phone stated that the manager should be aware of what to do with the code. I was very pleased at the moment after he requested to speak with her. He then explained the concern and Cindy the manager forcefully informed him that it was not a procedure whereby she would normally do and she handed me back the phone for him to explained. Abrian then stated that he didn't understand her problem in why she wouldn't do it and he apologized. I then wanted to speak with a supervisor. I spoke with Dixie the account manager for VS credit card. I felt a careless response throughout our conversation.
After finally breaking down she then stated that she would credit the account of the $40. I felt more should have been offered for all the chaos I've been through after only doing what was told from the rep Diane. She then stressed the fact that the only thing she could do is send me out a coupon book! Really?? A coupon book that I get normally?? I am so fed up with my experience with VS!! I never got my birthday gift card, none of my gift cards for the points and not even my new CC for being at another level. I don't want to make the decision of closing and paying off the account, but I'm so unpleased at how I'm being treated. Please allow me to feel like a valued customer again. I represent your brand everyday from undergarments to totes, umbrella, jewelry, makeup and fragrance. I want to feel good about being a VS card holder. Please fix this by finding a method to rush the rewards to your customer.
If we have an issue resolved it without pulling our hairs first. Train your manager to do all they could to help the customer in having a good experience especially when they spend as much as I do. As a corporate sr. Executive for Sprint, I know the effort it takes to retain business with customers when they are dissatisfied. I'm only asking for you to allow me to boast on the customer satisfaction VS offers to keep their customers happy. Respectfully, your angel cardholder since 2013.

I have been a long time shopper with Victoria's Secret. They stopped selling their quality clothing line and went to just yet another lounge line of clothing. The quality is no longer there. The sleeves are much shorter on all sweaters, hoodies, etc. The material is cheap and quite thin but yet the price is still high. Their fit line is heading in the same direction now. Whoever made the decision to make this change really has ruined what use to be the best company to buy clothes from. I bought some bras as well and they curl at the top of the cups. I hope one day you will go back to selling the quality of clothing you use. For now I have to shop elsewhere.

While shopping at the Village Pointe store one employee slammed a large box of merchandise down on the counter because I was in her way, which startled me. I apologized and she refused to acknowledge me. None of the several other employees spoke during the 20 min I was in the store, and while the few other customers were acknowledged, I was not. I then called customer service. The first person was very nice and offered to transfer me to the dept that handled complaints and said they might be able to get a gift card too. However the next employee took my info and told we don't give customers anything extra for bad experiences. I told her what the other girl said and I was told "how much do you want?" And "what was her name so I can talk to her and we'll find out who it was."
So all they are going to do is forward my complaint to the manager (who was probably one of the employees that ignored me). You know I was very excited to receive this gift card as a Christmas present but now I'm never going shop there ever. I wish my boyfriend could get his money back! I don't want to be made to feel like I'm trying to cheat anyone--a little extra gift card thanks but no thanks.

Went to Milford, CT store to make a Christmas Purchase of PJ's for family. They do not carry short in store so after 1 hour in line they had to order online. The first 2 arrived and were not the right size so I returned them to the Trumbull, CT store. No problem except they did not check the sizes I returned to. I later had a problem with the second two I ordered. They claimed I could just put them in the mailbox in the envelope they sent. However after looking at the label I noticed I would have no receipt for them and they could get lost. To mail them back at the Post Office there is a $5.00 charge which no one online tells you. I proceed to go to the store because the second two had no slip in the package. The store could not find the order.
One hour later I come home and call customer service. They give me the order number and could not send me a bag. I go back to the store with the order number and again am there for at least 30 minutes while the clerk tries to figure it out. Mind you, there are no gift receipts for online purchases. This is a problem for people you gift and need to return. Finally a wonderful woman took the time in Milford to figure it out and do the return from the store after the online told me the store would not take them back. I will never make another purchase at VS, let alone at Christmas time. They think they make it better by sending you a gift card but needless to say that does not make the aggravation and time lost better at the Holiday Season.

A handicap lady who was unable to stand in a long line today. As me and a few other customer notes this and told the sale person is there any way that this lady can be check out since she was unable to stand in the long line. She made a story that all she can do is let her sit down to her place in line come up. I felt that more could have been done and was going to the people line will it be ok if she can go ahead and then the sale person said "don't do that," she will ring her up and she did.
But after that the handicap lady purchasing her gift card walking away she fell in the store. Me and other customer went to help her and then the sale floor people came. And the lady didn't want their help knowing that the lady still need help. The way they talk to her was no good but when I talked to her she allow me to walk her to her husband at the front of the store. Their customer service suck at store in Brentwood ca and it's not the first time I sense poor services at the store.

I've been a customer of Victoria's Secret since I was like 13 and I must say, at 24, I am done with this company. The cashiers and rules of this store are so inconsistent. I remember finding coupons that had expired or getting ones that hadn't started yet and asking if I could use them (I wouldn't be mad if they said no) but they would always say "Of course! We always honor our coupons" I used to really think this was a company that did what was right by the customer but they've been so inconsistent with it lately.
I had gotten a coupon a few days ago but they didn't start until the next day (never having a problem with it I decided to bring it in) so I get up to the cashier (I've had this girl many times at this location but I'll save that for later) and she looks at the coupon and says "This doesn't start until tomorrow" (I'm not blind, I can see the date) and I told her that I had never had an issue with it before and she said that they don't honor them anymore early or late. Just so inconsistent. There's always different rules depending on what employee you're talking to. So I decided to not buy my purchase and ended up just pitching the coupons because I wasn't planning on driving back out or going to a Victoria's Secret store again.
But this cashier, I've had her so many times. Don't know her name but she has dark hair and dark skin almost like of Indian descent. She literally doesn't even look at you while she's cashing you out. She doesn't ask if you found everything ok or if there was anyone helping you. She just tells you the total and then looks annoyed when she looks up to see you have coupons (maybe you would have known had you looked in my general direction or.. yanno.. asked). I'm not kidding you. There was a few occasions where she just gossiped and talked poorly about her coworkers to the girl working next to her the whole time she was cashing me out. Just in general rude and unprofessional.
They need to get more consistent employees and more consistent with their policies. I'm sure I could have asked to talk to a manager but I don't think it's right to throw a fit to get what you want. I'm not that type of person. But it's unfair to the people who don't cause a problem to get the short end of the stick while other people who scream, whine and complain to get their way get the good end of the stick.

Did some online shopping from VS USA and a month have passed, still I didn't receive any package. I kept on calling their customer service as well as emailing them to follow up and still nothing happened. I ordered my items last October 25, 2015 and was expected to arrive on November 24, 2015. I spoke to them on November 25 and they instructed me that wait until November 30, if the items will arrive or not. If not, then I have to inform them. Either I take my refund or they will resend new items. The agent I spoke to said that since it's already delayed, they will refund the shipping charge they made. Luckily, I checked my VS online account today (Nov 29) and I found out that they already cancelled my order and refunded some of the amount I paid (except the shipping charge).
So, I called again their customer service asking who cancelled it and they can't answer my question and why nobody informed me that they already cancelled my order. The agent was as clueless as me. It just really sucks how their online shopping works. I am going for a vacation this weekend (A trip to Zanzibar! yay! and they just ruined it). Now, I have to cram, shopping for bikinis. Hopefully, they would change their courier service, one that the customer can track.

I bought a few things online Friday. Not the first time, card is always on file when I log in. Clicked submit, order sent. Then I realize it didn't take the discount from whatever nonsense they sent me in the mail. I click live chat. The guy says he will fix it, then says "ok your order has been adjusted." I asked what the total was now. He said $106.50. Well that was bright, I had already selected one of the online discounts so the price remained the same.
Monday night I get a text message from my bank asking if some charges were correct. What they showed me was 2 charges of $200 even though the lady at my bank clarified it was only 1 charge. So now I look and the $106.50 was already taken last Friday. My bank rep said someone physically walked into a store in California and tried to use my card. How is that possible, I live in Massachusetts??? The charge was denied in the first place but I think someone at VS is a thief. No other charges were attempted anywhere else. I went to live chat with a VS agent today. She can't tell me whether or not it was an internal charge and I should talk to my bank. I did lady!

Why do they send coupons for free panties when they are disgusted to help you find them at the store. Not just one or two times but EVERY TIME I go to use my coupon. Never mind I always pick up a couple other things while I'm there. A goal of that coupon I suspect.
Sports bra zippers break easily. 3 of my four bras broke. I wrote customer service. They were nice and said take them back to the store for an exchange. I did that. They too were nice. Then kindly gave me a printed notification I had been returning too many items and if I returned anymore, they would put a hold on my returns for 60 days? Huh? I hadn't returned anything but the bras they told me to return. Nobody could tell me if the warning applied to catalog purchases which I had planned on making for the upcoming holiday. Why would I purchase anything knowing they might reject a return?? At the same time, I commented on how some free panties I received ripped. Literally, my finger went through the lace when I pulled them up. I was just joking that it's a good thing they were free and they said "Oh no even if they are free, bring them back if they ripped." Ummm...
They got me to sign up for their credit card! Let me explain. I've purchased $1000 + worth of merchandise from them over the past year because my daughter started wearing their bras and I got a breast augmentation so I got the credit card for extra perks. Two times I've scheduled a future payment and two times the payment was never made. Two times I received a $25 late fee and a smack to my credit rating I'm sure. At this point, I've canceled the card and refuse to purchase anything from them. Will try Soma and Nordstrom. Nordstrom is THE best for service and quality.

I'm only 5' 9" & their bras at the loosest setting (shoulder straps) were either too short or barely fit. After about 6 months the zipper broke on all of the bras. Price too high. Quality = crap.
