    Would not recommend purchasing from this site. Returning online purchases if there is not a local store to return items is very arduous and restrictive. The customer service agent I spoke with was not very accommodating and was unable to help with my return. For these reasons I would be recommended this company to a friend purchasing items online. Use a company that has an easier return policy and customer service standards that are customer focused.

    I called the automated system to pay my bill IN FULL and the automated twit couldn't understand anything I said, kept cutting out, got my bank name wrong, and was a complete nightmare. The only thing worse was the hateful and completely rude customer service person I was transferred to. Not only did she talk to me like I was an idiot but got a complete attitude with me and I AM THE CUSTOMER! Train your employees, they clearly need it!

    Shipping dates are lies. In 4 days I got 35 emails, none was about my delayed order! It was due yesterday and today it finally showed up as picked up by the carrier. Customer service does not reply!! I don't care how inexpensive their stuff is. I'll never purchase from them again. You can buy their stuff from Amazon or Walmart if you really like it.

    I'm giving it only 2 stars because this is the first time I've ordered online. I usually go in the store. I ordered a few things for my son Wed night, thinking they would be shipped Thursday, Friday at the latest. Well, this thing is still saying it's being processed, it's been 4 dang days, but the weird thing is that it says it's arriving on August 20, which is Tuesday. I ordered some things from Carter's at the exact same time I ordered from here and Carter's is being delivered Tuesday, August 20. So, The Children's Place should be delivered that day as well, at least you would think, and it says it's arriving that day, but why didn't I get a email saying it was shipped and why does it still say it's processing?

    I'll add a screenshot below with it circled so you all can see. I'm gonna be real mad if they cancel my order all these days later live I've seen a lot of people say, because my address matches the one on the bank, and I'm gonna hold them to that arriving date. Don't put that if it's not true, and I won't tolerate no rude customer service, I will come for your job ma'am!!

    This is a terrible company!! I ordered July 16th for my grandsons and the order never came yet online states it was delivered. They use purolator carriers which requires a signature so the driver can be paid but they come during the day when you are at work. Then when you call customer service it is someone in the Philippines that cannot hear or help you. Also, they have the package which was never delivered and they do not give back the money they take from you. I suggest to never buy from this company, there are better places to get children's clothes and not thieves.

    I made two orders online August 4th. One order supposed to be delivered on August 10th and the other August 12-14. Check the tracking August 9th both orders still at the warehouse to be picked up by carrier. So I did a in store pick up order because the August 10th order not arriving on time...a couple hours later the store canceled my order stated they didn't have anything I ordered so I drove to that store in Montgomery Alabama and pick everything on my in store order they canceled. Got to the register, my children place card, declined because the in store order they canceled still charge my card and plus I had a 20 reward that I lost because of that...so I had to pay cash for the school uniform because of late shipping on the order that suppose to be delivered August 10th and paying out of pocket because employees at that store found it easy to cancel my order instead of gathering it for pick up.

    I placed an order for back school items for my child. When placing the order it showed 3 different options for getting my stuff: speedy shipping which cost, pick up or slower shipping which was free. I clicked on the free shipping then use PayPal for my order. I recieved a confirmation email and it showed shipping to a store in Texas for pick up and I live in Missouri. I've tried contacting customer service several times and no one responds. Out 50 dollars unless PayPal covers it. Horrible!

    If I could give negative stars I would!!! Their exchange policy is trash!! Which is why they have so much product in their stores!! No one wants to deal with them. Things happen and people misplace receipts. I was a few days shy of their “return policy” and was refused an exchange. I would never shop in this store or online ever again!!

    Totally crap customer service. I tried to exchange the order with different size by calling customer service and going to different stores. Whenever I tried to call customer service they are always close at daytime 11am and at 6pm weekdays even. At the stores even I tried to replace my order within 45 days but they do not know how to place the order online and they said they cannot do it. The people they hire in the stores do not have knowledge how to put an online order. By the time I was able to connect to customer service on 46th day and they said they won't be able to do anything with my order as it has passed their return window.

    This is 2024 and apparently they are living in the 1800's with their policies! I received items for daughters' birthdays and they were the wrong size but the person never gave me a gift receipt so I went to the store for store credit to exchange the sizes. All items were tagged and new. They refused to exchange my items because I didn't have a receipt. They had the audacity to ask me to contact the people. How embarrassing is that!!! Told me there was nothing they can do to help me. When I contacted corporate their solution to help me was to give me a 30% off coupon on my next purchase just so I can SPEND MORE MONEY in their crappy business.

    Another time I had an issue where I was away and my ship to store order was delivered with NO EMAIL COMMUNICATION TELLING ME IT ARRIVED. The only email I got was when I was away and it told me they will cancel it by the next business day! So I sent my aunt to the store to pick it up and they refused to give it to her because she was not authorized to get it. Meanwhile she had the email and a picture of my photo ID. She begged them and they threatened to call the police on an elderly woman trying to do me a favor!!! Every time I step foot in any location for this business I could hear a pin drop. That's how empty it is. This is ought to tell you something about this place. Do yourself a favor and shop anywhere but here. It's not worth the stress or hassle of any discount or crappy clothing they sell.

    Awful, awful, awful customer service, they don't even pretend to care. Be aware that they ship via USPS and if (when, in my case) something is mis-delivered, you're on your own. I'm spending my afternoon on the phone with USPS, as instructed by TCP's Customer (lack of) Service. TCP said if they can't find it I need to tell my credit card company that it was lost or stolen and have the charge reversed. Do Not Order From This Place

    Do not shop there! I tried to place an order for back to school items today and their automatic system just canceled it. The first time around it was supposedly because of an old billing address (this has not been an issue with orders elsewhere, but ok). So then I went ahead and ordered everything again, just for this order to be canceled again, this time for absolutely no reason! The CS agents don't have this information either and they advised me to try a different browser, their app and/or a different payment method. That is AFTER I already wasted hours of my life choosing items, talking to their hotline (only in the Philippines, no local US representatives at all), adding the items again to reorder, talking to them again. I truly can't understand why they won't fulfill, this seems counterintuitive for a company trying to sell clothes! I wish it was an issue of not enough funds on my card or something but no, there's just no reason at all. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

    I will never in my life shop with Children’s Place again. You charge people accounts knowingly knowing that the address can’t be updated and you don’t assist them with helping them get the correct address updated. I have lost money by missing work. I will definitely dispute the charges. You are ripping off good people. If I could give you zero star I would. Definitely do not recommend this business.

    If I could Children’s Place 0 stars, I would. I placed an order for $42.29. BE ADVISED!! I look at my bank statement to find TWO holds. One for $42.09 another for $ 42.45. I call CS and she confirmed the two holds…at first until I challenged her about it. She then said it’s one hold and the other should be returned within 3-5 business days. I spoke to her supervisor who said the same. And to call my bank to get it released that they already got their money when my package shipped.

    But there’s still a hold on my account for $42 to be released later… This IS NOT a good business practice. I WILL NOT be ordering from them again.

    I bought clothes for my daughter and went to pay bill online in may on due date for 23.90. I did easy pay and put in my checking account number and info to pay with check so I thought it got paid and got confirmation through site. So out of sight and out of mind. It's mid June. Now I am receiving from calls from Colorado, texts from The Children's Place credit card company comenity.

    I answered one call from them. They said, "We are calling for Children's Place credit card." I said I paid it and hung up so after I hung up I called the customer service at children's place and I said I keep getting calls from someone saying I didn't pay my bill but I did in May. "No. It wasn't paid do you want to pay, make minimum 40.00 payment?" I said no, I paid it in May. The guy said payment wasn't received. I said I did easy pay with a check. The guy said it was declined (it's strange since I pay for all my bills with checks and my checking account is working and I actually paid a bill from children's place in December with a check and it went through). I am ticked. I ended up paying 70 something. Ridiculous to clear account. I said to the guy I am probably not going to buy from there if it's going to be this way. I wish they would have an sent email saying payment didn't work but no, just payment due.

    Children’s Place is obviously having problems! I ordered my grandchildren some clothes and shoes. The order got broke up into two shipments. The first shipment was to include some shirts for the grandson, they weren’t included. After waiting all weekend (customer service is only there M-F), they gave me a 15$ voucher and told me they couldn’t ship it, because there was too many orders on my account (one that hadn’t shipped). Problem is, 15$ wasn’t enough for free shipping, which I received the first time. I did end up ordering more, to receive free shipping, hook and bait! Second part of first order finally shipped on May 28 (the day it was to be received) with delivery date of 5/31…. It now states delivery date unknown. The order placed on 5/28 (with extra for free shipping) has been processing since 5/29 but hasn’t shipped, it has a delivery date of 6/1. Order from Carter's, Pennys, even Walmart folks…. They all have faster shipping!

    I made an order online and not even 5 hours later, I tried to go in and change the address because they had my grandson‘s old address Which I don’t understand why because my name and my address is the Billing address. I called customer service. They give me such a runaround telling me that I have to call the carrier and this is not my fault and they tell me they can’t put a stop on the package so now if I can’t get in contact with the carrier, some people are going to get some free things and I’m going to have to pay for them. This was totally unfair. And now I lose my 30%. I will never order from Children’s Place again. This is so sad and they need to do better for their customers. It’s no way that you should not be able to change the address if it’s Going to the wrong place.

    So I have to say I would not be writing this review but after dealing with customer service I felt the need. You can apologize 20 times but that still doesn’t give the customer the answer they are looking for. I ordered my granddaughter about 10 outfits. The deliver date stated the 28 of May. I ordered hers first and then my grandson's two days later from JCPenney because CP has not a great selection for infant boys. I did it in specific steps so my granddaughter would get hers first because it’s common for children to be jealous of newborns and just wanted her to know Memere is thinking of her. I live in Ct they live in Alabama.

    So it’s the 28th and nothing has even been shipped and my grandson will receive his first. I’m so angry. I call customer service who couldn’t supply me any answers just that they are sorry to be patient. Not even caring how this will affect the situation. Do not give us a shipping date if you can’t meet it. I waited 17 min on hold to get the run around. I won’t be doing business with them anymore.

    I do not recommend The Children’s Place. I ordered a gift March 1st. It was to be delivered by March 19. It got “lost”. I called CS over a week span. Each time I was told something different. When asked to speak to a manager I got more runaround. I was given a $20 “reward” but it was only good for 1 week and the hoops that had to be jumped to use it were not something I wanted to use. I gave the benefit of doubt and thought the work make it right and went with a “reship”. Nope. Finally April 4 the item was received. It was so incredibly late.

    Children's Place needs to Modify their online order system, customer should be able to update address and size information within 24 hours after order. It’s unfair for the customers to wait for the order to arrive to make changes, sometimes there is no children store nearby. I think as a company you should be to modify order within the same day. Since they are not allowing me to change address now I have to buy twice, because I will be out town which so inconvenient (time, money). The whole purpose online order is to save time, please Children Place review your policy regarding modification. Thank you.

    Let me start by saying I used to love this company. Their clothes are cute and the prices are reasonable. However, after my most recent order, I doubt I'll be shopping with them again in the future. I placed an order on April 5th for shoes for my daughter's First Communion, which was on April 20th. I figured I ordered in plenty of time as my past orders had arrived within a week. Well, on April 8th I received a tracking number...but for OVER TWO WEEKS there were no tracking updates. It just said "awaiting carrier pickup" which means it was sitting in the Children's Place warehouse! I tried emailing and calling customer service to no avail.

    When I finally DID get a hold of someone on the phone, the lady told me that they were backed up due to a large number of orders, and to contact them if my order didn't arrive by April 22nd. (Mind you, I needed it by the 20th). I understand being busy, but if that's the case, they should have emailed the customers to let them know about the delay instead of just ignoring the situation. Needless to say, April 22nd came and went, and the package STILL wasn't shipped. It finally came on April 26th, THREE WEEKS after I placed the order. I tried contacting customer service again to receive some sort of compensation or resolution, but of course, no response. We had to run out and buy shoes at a different store because of the Children's Place's total lack of customer service/communication! For this reason, I can no longer recommend them to others.

    Mailed bill within 2 days of receiving it. Paid in full. They posted it after the due date. They charged me $30/month late fee + interest which was more than the original purchase price or $63 in fees. I explained to the 'supervisor' that I have been gone for 2 months and this is the earliest I've been able to follow up. She credited 1 late fee only and no interest charges on the late fee. She was unwilling to listen to any explanation but kept repeating 'boilerplate policy'. Will never use them again. I will not recommend them to anyone.

    Placed an online order for in-store pick up on 15-Jan-2024 and got the confirmation email for the order. A bit later, I was notified that my order was canceled: "ITEMS NO LONGER AVAILABLE." I reviewed the site, and the items I ordered are showing as available to be ordered. I checked the following day, and the items were still available. I was frustrated that my order was canceled because the items were claimed as out of stock yet still being made available for new orders. More than 24 hours later, I contacted customer service for an explanation.

    The rep I spoke with, "Neigh," was less helpful. He informed me that my order was canceled for another reason he could not provide more details about; however, I can provide my personal information that he can submit to some verification team, which may or may not release my order. I explained that I am the customer and should not have to jump through hoops to place an order and have it fulfilled while being provided misleading information by his company. I asked to speak with a supervisor, but none was available. I was told to call back in a few hours and try again for a supervisor.

I only opened the package to look at one shirt, as I'd ordered online and wanted to see if it would match the lounge pants I ordered. I tucked the package away until I was ready to put together the elf boxes. Upon opening the package on 12/23, I discovered The Children's Place only shipped 7 shirts. I was short a shirt for one of the family elf boxes. No, I couldn't just buy a shirt because these were Team Santa shirts. And these boxes are a surprise elf delivery to my kids and little grandkids - so, no, I couldn't get one 'different' shirt.

    So, I had to go out and buy 4 new shirts that certainly weren't the fun Team Santa shirts I spent time looking for. So now I'm sitting here with 3 shirts I paid for, 1 shirt I didn't receive and had to purchase 4 new shirts to make sure the magic of Christmas could still happen. The Children's Place refunded the amount for the shirt they didn't send but wouldn't do anything about the other 3. Hard lessons learned but we, consumers, have choices and I will absolutely think twice about ordering from this company again. I hope my $50 "DONATION" to your company makes a difference in your numbers.

    I ordered 2 outfits for Christmas. I was only sent one shirt because the other items were out of stock. I had used a coupon for the purchase which was used on a 4 dollar shirt only. I was unable to get anything else before Christmas. I had made a purchase in July of 2023 where an item was lost and was only given $5 reward towards my account. The money was not placed back onto my credit card. The "Sales" are not sales. The prices may vary slightly with the sales such as 30% off, but they remain close to the originally marked down price. The quality of the clothes is not great. The shirts are thin.

    Placed an order that was supposed to come before Christmas. When I realized the tracking showed it had not even shipped 10 days later, I called The Children's Place to see what could be done. I won't say I called Customer Service, because they do not believe in assisting customers. All they would do was report exactly what their website said about my package. Even the supervisor just parroted the same information over and over again. It also seemed that their "Customer Service" may have been based in another country as I had difficulty understanding both people I spoke to.

    They told me that the shipper was lying that that they had the package. What I was hoping, when calling them, was that I would get a rush shipping so that I would receive my items when promised or that I would be refunded since I did not receive them when promised. They offered nothing. I will not make this mistake twice and will never order from The Children's Place again. They have nice things but very poor "Customer Service".

    Nov 24 I placed an order for a birthday gift. When placing the order I was given a date of Dec 2 to receive the items. On Dec 1, I received ONE of the items. Waited, waited, waited for the rest of the items which never showed up. FINALLY they show up Dec 9 and I am missing 1 out of 3 items. Accidents happen, I get it but they claim you will wait no more than 10 days for normal shipping. They do not offer any other type of shipping. I go to the website where they give you an option to have it reshipped at no charge and that is what I chose.

    I had a weird feeling so I called to make sure they had it in stock. Yes they do but I am told they don't have a reship option for me. They want to refund my money and have me reorder! I asked if she could overnight the item to me since I waiting forever and they shorted me an item....No option. UNREAL. Worst customer service as a whole, not the lady that was trying to help me.

    First time ordering anything from this company and it will absolutely be the last. I have been charged a total of 4 times for one order!! Customer service is horrible with the most ridiculous hours! I’ve emailed twice because I’m an actual normal person working Monday through Friday 8-5! I know these companies could give two hay barrels about a single person review but to be charged four times for one order is absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. Plus for the items I didn’t get I’ve not received a credit they’ve charged me twice for the item that was supposedly unavailable at the time of shipment but according to their website that was in stock.

    I will never in my life ever order anything from this company or all four companies or however, many companies that are actually related to the Children’s Place. I pray that this review actually does reach somebody who’s looking for children clothes and change their minds. Order from Walmart, order from Amazon, order from Etsy or Kohl’s. Cause this place will rip you off.

    I placed an order on November 14, before the Thanksgiving holidays, but only received two items on November 21. Unfortunately, as of today, November 30, 2023, I was notified that the remaining items were lost during transit, possibly due to the extended delivery time exceeding ten business days. Although I received a reward credit for the entire order, I had to endure an additional four-day wait, bringing me closer to Christmas. Regrettably, the delay has led to the unavailability of my granddaughter's sizes and the outfits I intended to purchase for her since November 14. The children's store's delivery service appears to be lacking. I would have been unaware of the lost package if I hadn't proactively followed up, given the absence of FedEx delivery communication online—terrible Customer Service.

    I'm beginning to think this company was purchased by the old Sears Roebuck and now operates like a catalog company from 1980. Shipping times are ridiculously slow. Taking a full week just to even process the order is unacceptable. You will get the token "We are sorry for the inconvenience...send us your order number...blah blah blah." They may have great prices but by the time your kids get the clothing, they've outgrown them. Do better TCP.

    I purchased a pair of shorts for my daughter and when they didn't arrive, I checked the status. Said delivered so I checked all around, not located. I reached out to the carrier as instructed on the website. They said to reach out to the company the package was from. Well, over 10 days of calling (recording saying high call volume and then hanging up), online chat (no available agents and also to call number that I already tried), emailing (no response) and even speaking to my local store - nothing. Between the time of ordering the pair of shorts and the package ordeal, I ordered her 2 pair of shoes. Received a package when expected only to open it and find clothes (no shoes) for an infant and small child.

    Again, have been attempting all avenues for customer service. Today, I was able to get through only to be told that for the shorts, they will "as a one time courtesy" give me a $5 reward on my account to their store. No refund and no shorts. When I let them know about the shoe order, I was told the only way to receive a refund is to print off and find a FedEx to ship the wrong order out, then in 7 - 10 days from them receiving the wrong package, they will refund me and if I want the shoes, I need to re-order them.

    This phone call took an HOUR! I had to repeat myself MULTIPLE times and be put on hold for minutes at a time. At the end they asked if there was anything else they could help me with and I asked to speak with a supervisor or manager as I feel this whole situation was handled poorly as it was nothing I could change or prevent. They sat there not saying a word for 10 minutes - despite me saying, "Hello" and, "Are you going to transfer me?" Then hung up. I will NEVER give this company my business again and honestly, I'm surprised they're still in business after reading the reviews on this site!

    Buyer beware make sure that you have double the funds needed for each purchase. The Children’s place will place a hold for the full amount locking the funds up for 3-5 days and then actually charge once the items have shipped. Even though the hold falls off if the items ship while the hold is present it will cause double the funds to be held from the account until the initial hold falls off. I paid $150 and $300 total is on hold on my account until the hold falls off. There is no reason for a hold. The children’s place does this because they have no clue of their actual inventory and then charge you officially once they figure out if they actually have the sizes you are requesting. NO OTHER MERCHANTS DO THIS. Get a better inventory system so you can stop placing unnecessary holds and subsequent charges on your customers to offset your bad inventory and shipping procedures.

    This is one horrible company to deal with. I never had issues with them until recently. I ordered my grandson some cargo pants and pajamas June 3. I received confirmation of order received on June 5. 10 days later I received a package with girls' shoes enclosed. I tried contacting them via email to complain, I tried contacting them via phone. The first time involved a customer service rep that was very skeptical of my issue - he said that "has never happened before". Right!!

    He said I need to return this (at my expense) and then he backpedaled and said they would be mailing me a return slip. I waited three days and nothing! I called back yesterday and was told that should have been done - yeah, you think? I received the return slip in my email but I'm having to return it to the person it was originally intended for - what?? Anyway - now I'm still waiting for my grandson's clothes. I have ordered from them for years and never had this problem even around the holidays - but I will never order from them again.

    And I will tell others not to order from them. It was OK they made a mistake - I guess. But, to emphatically say "I don't really know how that happened and you need to prove that" - well, I told the first CSR I could - all I needed to do was take a picture of the items and they can see online that I never ordered anything like this.

    It's bad enough my grandson is still waiting for his three items - much less to be told that my story wasn't all that believable. The CSR I talked to yesterday was apologetic but that's still not getting the items I paid for in good faith to me.

    BE VERY WARY!!! I made a purchase via their website on 3/14. I noticed that the address was wrong so I immediately contacted them. They told me to call back with a tracking number because they work with multiple carriers. I CALLED BACK AGAIN 3/17. AGAIN their response was there was nothing they could do. I was given the run around. I called about 3 times and each time given a different "suggestion". No help. Ultimately I tried calling UPS and USPS to intercept the package and reroute it. No avail. Eventually my package was delivered... to The WRONG address... They had no problem taking the money out of my account... Immediately!

    The children’s place canceled my order for the third time. I call customer service and did not receive any help. They had no problem taking money out of my bank account but yet canceled my order. They refused to reinstate my order. They refused to put the money back in my account today instead, they want me to wait up to five days. I’ve made purchases for the last two years with no issues. Now the last three transactions/purchases have been canceled with no reason. No one was even professional enough to give me a call and they do have my number. I am out done and will not be shopping with the children’s place anymore. I have lost my 20% discount and my coupon on this last order. I lost $10 coupons on the two previous orders.

    What happened to the quality here?! My oldest is 19, I bought almost all of his clothes from TCP from the time he was born until he was 12 and sized out. Sizing was always spot on and quality was fantastic. Last week I placed a huge order for my 11 and 8 year olds as I have for the last couple of years. The shorts purchased for my daughter are 1 size up from the shorts she's outgrown from last year. They are massive! Falling off of her and the shirts in the very same size are too small. The husky shorts purchased for my son are not husky. The waist and hip measurements are identical to the smaller sized standard shorts from last year, just 3 inches longer. He needs extra space for his booty not length.

    The size XL tee shirts ordered for my son are all varying in length and so incredibly thin. Additionally, customer service told me to return/exchange at my nearest brick and mortar storefront. That's an hour drive, thanks a lot The Children's Place. I'll make the drive, return every single item ordered and promptly close my account and never shop with the company again. After nearly 20 years of shopping.

    I got on and ordered some clothing for my son. It was 9:20 p.m. February 28th. The promo that they were advertising as I was shopping would end March 1st. I typed in the code, it accepted, it brought my total down to 91.32. I was like cool, typed in my information, my credit card information, placement order at 9:20 pm Feb 28. I get on to my bank and look at my statements and they charged me $122 so then I went back and looked at my receipt and my email, it never gave me a total. Then I got back on the website and looked at my order and it said that my order was placed at 12:18 p.m. On March 1st and they erased my promo. This kind of made me upset because after reading their terms and conditions it doesn't say anything about time zones. I sent them three emails and I'm just waiting to hear back what they have to say.

    I purchased some clothes for my grandchildren from this seller on Black Friday, 11.25.22. I didn't read the reviews because I was told that this would be a great place to shop for children. So like other customers, I knew that they would have awesome deals for the holiday. The store would not allow me the option to pick up my order at either location which honestly should have been a reason to not continue with this order. The first red flag was the company that they contract with to ship out their merchandise (Lasership) is based out of Charlotte, NC and has pending lawsuits against the management for stealing the customer products that were sent to the customer via text and e-mail as delivered but the customers never received the packages.

    The second red flag was that it took too long for the merchandise to ship. I believe that the seller or someone working in the seller's warehouse is working one on one with Lasership and stating that the merchandise has been shipped from the seller's warehouse but never ships from the warehouse to the buyer. I don't have money to throw away and I will never ever shop with this company again or recommend to others. The third-party shipping company fraudulently signed my name and did not deliver the package to my home.

    I placed an order for some snow boots for my daughters online. The whole reason I even placed my order with The Children's Place was because they were one of the only places I could find a snow boot small enough for my toddler, and that they had a quick delivery date. By the time my delivery date came and went, my order was sitting in "transit" mode with a delay.

    I reached out a handful of times wondering where my order was because I NEEDED them for a trip. I was continuously told that I needed to wait longer and reach back out in a few days. Each time I reached out I was told this. Until I was finally told by the SHIPPING COMPANY, not even The Children's Place, that my order had been lost. My daughters are now out snow boots because of this and I can not get a replacement on time. Maybe if I was informed my order was lost in the mail WEEKS ago, this would and should have been resolved.

The cashier called 5 times and I called 5 times over the course of 2 months. They sent my credit card to the wrong address but luckily that person sent it to me. The address was completely off. It costs $9 to pay over the phone and online.

    I go into the store and they said I couldn't pay with my debit card. I had to pay online phone or cash. I went to ATM in mall and spent $5 to get CASH!!! Then when it was time to pay I asked if I could use my card for clothing purchase and then immediately pay entire thing off to close credit card? Wrong!!! I used for second purchase and she told me my credit card balance. I asked why my new amount wasn't showing, she said it was! She then asked if I was a club member. I assumed so since I had their credit card!!! They are 2 different things!! Okay!

    I then wait lo ger for a manager to fix the amount so I could pay the entire thing off and cancel my credit card! I was irritated at this point, because before this second purchase she said I could pay it off, and the amount was correct (apparently you have to go in and attach receipt to credit card to pay it off!! EVEN IF YOU USED THE CREDIT CARD TO PAY FOR IT!!).

The shipper (LaserShip) never put the package in the mail locker. Just threw it in the mailroom on some boxes. And now I'm out of the merchandise and my money. Because The Children's Place would not reimburse or replace the merchandise. I've read some similar reviews. I filed a complaint with the FTC and my local division of Consumer Affairs. I will be filing with the NY Attorney General Office as well.

    My point is just don't write a review. Report them. With enough complaints we as consumers can stop this practice that they are doing. And the only way to do that is to report their behavior to the right agencies. This is what they're there for. We as the little people can't make but so much noise on our own. But together with our complaints can bring awareness to the right people. That can fight on our behalf. Most complaint filing is done online or you can call. Just don't write a review and then not report them. We have to let them know that it's not ok that you think you can just keep people's money. And the merchandise was never received.

The box got crushed and the tiny glasses which were not secure in the box slipped out. I did not receive 2 out of 3 pairs of the glasses and Children's place refuses to replace them.

I paid Children’s place $9.65 for items not received due to their poor packing. I would like a replacement OR credit of $9.65.

I called and they acted like I was overreacting and said their authorization holds and will be returned within 3- 5 business days. First of all, I cannot afford to have this money pending, I'm a single mom on disability and I now have 90$ in limbo, my account is -62$, I've been charged a 10$ overdraft fee for my account being in the negative, not my fault because this is not a normal nor legitimate transaction! It's not an authorization hold, the money was taken and then a ' return reversal' yet no refund!

    It's very Shady that they're doing this and I'm stressed because the money I'm supposed to get April 5th for my son's birthday cake and water table (birthday April 8) will not cover those things if my money is not returned to my bank account! I made an online purchase, I paid and now I feel deceived due to them using a deceitful way to take more money from my account. This is not acceptable. I would like my money returned immediately! Plus an extra ten dollars for the overdraft fee I incurred. I was not informed that any more than what I paid would be taken from my bank account and I did not authorize it. Very unprofessional of them. Who does this? I would suggest to not purchase things online with your own bank account and to use a prepaid Visa debit as to avoid this.
