I've made an order that I never received. Apparently it was stolen off my porch. I have been trying to reach someone as to what to do in this case and would like the items resent or refunded. Still no help.

After my mother bought a pant for her grand grandchildren, the size were too small, my mother lost the ticket. When we went to the store to talk to the store manager, the manager said that she couldn't change the item for another size because they do not have the item, we ask for exchange for another item and we will cover the cost difference, the manager said that her policy won't allow her to do such thing that we need to call the customer service number to get the ticket.
I have been doing this for the last 45 days and every time the customer service representative hang up as soon as I explain that I want to put a complaint against the manager, the customer service rep hang up the phone. This is the worst customer service I have receive, also I would recommend that this stores are investigate because this is kind of a scam. They allow you to buy the product without explaining the return policies and after they just do not allow the exchange or return.

Ordered a Christmas gift for a baby boy and told it was shipped Dec 3rd. I have yet to receive it (now Dec 19th). Now I will probably have to buy another gift if this doesn't come within the next day or two. Don't offer free shipping if you don't use a reliable courier. My advice to customers is don't select free shipping if you need the purchase by a certain time to avoid disappointment. Just pay the extra cost or shop somewhere else.

Please do not give this company your hard earned money. I ordered my son clothes. Have yet to receive. Going on 15 days now. I was emailed informing me one of the shirts they did not have. At this point I just wanted a refund. Not only was I never refunded for a shirt they didnt have. I got charged on my account twice for one order I have yet to received. Every time I check the shipping it says running behind. Every time I email or get a hold of customer service I get no reply or hung up on and told I cannot do anything about anything until I physically receive my order!! When I could be spending that money somewhere like carters where my order gets to me in a timely manner and I am an appreciated customer. SAVE YOUR MONEY. Don’t believe me? Look up the law suits against Children’s Place right now. Horrible service! So sad.

I ordered two separate items from The Children’s Place and never received it, totaling $150.00. When I call, the line is busy due to high call volumes and disconnects the line from me. They told me to file my claim with USPS and USPS tells me to go to UPS since the items were shipped through UPS originally and forwarded to them to deliver to me. Over two months and I have no clothes and no refund and can’t speak with anyone from CP. I am very upset and frustrated because the times were Christmas gifts for my children. This company is horrible and I wish I never ordered from there. Ruined Christmas!!

I made 3 orders almost $500. The first did had not ship and I ordered a second order and I saw the order #2 shipped but not the first, I started making phone calls. Couldn’t get through. I sent an email, no response. I finally got the items almost a month later. Order #3, shipment lost, called and they said I had to file a claim with USPS. I said I want a refund because I didn’t have time to file a claim on a lost package like they told me to. It shipped to New Jersey and still no package. They take your money and have absolutely no repostar, no compassion and do not even attempt to resolve your issue. I’ll never order from them again. They stole my money!

I placed an order on September 16, 2020. On September 21, 2020 I received notification that it was shipping but be patient because it is taking longer due to Covid. I checked the UPS site and they were awaiting the package. It is now November 6 and they are still awaiting package. I have emailed The Children's Place to no avail. I have called customer service only to be told by the automated system that they are experiencing an unusual number of calls and to call back later--click!
I actually stopped into a store in Iowa City, IA and was told by the very rude young sales clerk that she has heard of orders taking two and three months. I was also told it wouldn't help for them to call customer service because they would not get in either!! But they would sell me the items I had ordered in the store which I had already paid for them via my credit card which was charged on September 21. I actually received an email asking how I liked the items I ordered! Really--wouldn't know! I will never order from this store again. They can also stop offering me their credit card!!

My order was shipped to the wrong address and shown delivered but wasn't at the delivery location. After calling the customer service phone number and sitting on hold for over 20 minutes I spoke to Baola and explained the situation to her. I was told there was absolutely, positively nothing that Children's Place could or would do. That I had to open a claim with the USPS. No concern whatsoever on $145 of winter clothes for my son that was incorrectly shipped by them to a wrong address. When I asked for the spelling of her name I was told by Baola "B as in you're a bully". Her supervisor when I told him about it told me he'd review the call to see if the incident really in fact happened. When asked to be transferred to their credit people to dispute the charge I was sent to a phone number that was fully automated with no options to talk to a human. Definitely will not be shopping with Children's Place ever again. Extremely disappointed.

I have reached out to Children's Place Online Department since 10/8 during their business hours 9am-5pm Est. The online service mentioned they were close. I also reached out to their corporate department same message. If you reach 800527355 or 18777522387. I ONLY needed to change my address to sender. This have been poor lack of service. This have left me extremely with a bad taste in my mouth about Children's Place. I also, want to point out their Chat Customer Service system wasn't available online. How can you guys stay in business what the following issue?

I purchased some items online. I thought (like everyone else) they would be delivered within a week... I was moving in 2 weeks. OK, so they're slow - I messaged their customer service after a week, asking for them to update my mailing address. They said they could not (even though they didn't ship it for another week). They told me to call USPS (which I did, and even though I had a change of address, they still delivered it to the old home). I reached out to their corporate contacts - no response. Children's Place is horrible - I will never shop online with them (when Walmart, Target and Amazon can deliver the next day) - and because of their corporate attitude on customer service, we will never shop here again. It cost me $50, but they lost a customer for life.

I’ve always been into the store and thought they had good quality and never had any issues. However with the COVID stuff still going around and my kids back in school I decided to order things online from them. Everything I ordered said it was in stock. I ordered about $80 worth of stuff and got a confirmation #, and thought everything was good. Within 2 hours I received an email saying that I wouldn’t be charged and that my order was cancelled but it didn’t say why. I tried calling every number I could find for them with no response. However the DID still charge my card. I sent an email to their customer service. Well no big deal they will probably just refund it, so LIKE AN IDIOT I tried to order it again. And AGAIN they sent an email saying they cancelled my order and I wouldn’t be charged.
And of course they took the money out of my account again. So I sent an email again. I had to end up going through my bank and disputing the charges to get my money back. I FINALLY got a response to ONE of the emails (As each one I put my specific order number on) with no real explanation as to why they cancelled my orders. I’m not an idiot address, name, bank info, it said it was in stock, but they sure charged me for it! They wouldn’t have given me my money back either (Even thought they said they would) like I said I had to dispute it through my bank as a fraudulent charge. This whole thing made me so mad I don’t even want to go into their stores anymore. I don’t like doing business with people that straight up try to steal my money with NOTHING in return.

I placed an order online, and I received 2 of the 4 items. I called their customer service hotline, 1-877-752-2387. It is the hotline for Children's Place and Gymboree stores. After selecting CP customer service representative, I got a message stating that there is a high call volume. Rather than hearing, "your call is very important to us, please stay on the line," the message hangs up on you. I called back and selected "All other inquiries." I was able to speak to a representative and get a tracking number. He was not able to provide an estimated delivery date, and referred me to the deliver service. CP's phone system needs to be repaired so it doesn't drop customers.

I placed an order on September 18th. It took a week before I even received an email stating that The Children's Place had received my order. I waited a few more days and reached out to customer care to ask where my order was and when it might ever ship. No response was ever sent. I finally received confirmation that my order had shipped and the tracking showed it would be delivered on September 26th. Well that date came and went with no delivery. No, order status updates. No, "Hey sorry we are delayed." Nothing!! Radio silence.
I reached out again to customer service to ask where my order was and I still to this day have received no response to my first or second email. I finally found out my order would be delivered on October 3rd by checking the tracking myself. Again no delivery as promised. So I checked the tracking and once again it states the package will be late. I now have placed a third email to the The Children's Place. I seriously doubt they will ever respond. I also contacted Comenity to cancel my 'The Children's Place' credit card. This will be my first and last order with The Children's Place.
It's not even so much the ridiculous shipping times or the missed delivery dates. It's really the lack of customer care. Their prices are cheap! I'd assume their clothes are probably about the same quality as is their customer care, but I can't comment since I don't have anything 16 days later. Lower quality clothing is what I fully expected and was willing to accept for play clothes. I just kind of expected to actually receive something for my money. Parents looking for children's clothing... Rest assured your order would arrive quicker if you had someone start from strips of fabric, hand sew the items and then ship them by car from China. Order anywhere else.

I went to place an order and my total JUMPED up by $25 and every price changed as soon as I hit checkout, immediately called and they said they cancelled It, reversed charges and then days later recharged me and said there was nothing they could do when I called to confront them again. Now my package is apparently coming, even though the tracking number provided doesn’t lead anywhere and the only thing I can do is return the items if they ever arrive. Absolutely awful customer service and I will never be using their company again. I never ever write negative reviews but am so disgusted by how this company runs its business.

There's a reason this company is going out of business. I ordered a few items in May & June and they didn't fit. I just tried to return them, never worn & tags on, over the 45 day return policy even though I was told they had extended the return policy. They wouldn't allow me to return the 3 items nor would they allow an exchange. I called customer Service while in the store and they confirmed that their return policy is quite strict and they had no way of allowing a return or exchange but offered me a $20 dollar coupon and that I could gift the items I was trying to return.
I will officially never shop at this store again. If you're going to have such rigid return policies for children's clothing then you deserve to go out of business. We all know kids clothing doesn't always fit and who has the time to be driving around looking for their stores or spend more money on shipping than the actual items during COVID only to deal with such non-sense. Go to Carters or the Gap, honestly anywhere else!

Then when I got home the other one not fit to my daughter so today I decided to change the size.. I told the cashier that I change the size of the shoes and I also got the size that I need. So she get the receipt and told me why in the receipt no tag but the shoes have tag.. I explain to her that yesterday the other one has no tag but the one is fit to my youngest daughter., Then the other lady came and ask me if change the size. I said yes.. Then she leave and bring my receipt and the shoes..
I'm waiting for almost half an hour.. Then I said, "What happened," the cashier told me, "You need to wait ma'am..," then the lady came and told me that maybe I bought the shoes to the other store and the receipt I bring is not the right one.. I said, "No. I bought it here.." Then when she go the cashier area she saw the other shoes (the one that not fit).. And she blame me that she asking me if that shoes (the one that I got) and she said I said yes.. She didn’t check first the other shoes (tag) before she leave and check... She’s the one who get mad and blame me.. And the cashier too didn’t approach me well.. She just laughing at me.. They didn’t say sorry to me because I'm waiting for too long.. They didn’t treat the customer right. :( I'm not happy with the service.

I applied for their credit card since 30% was offered off of my order. I have everything ready for checkout in my cart, I have all specific sizes and wanted to check out today. I was not able to do that. I spend long periods of time waiting for someone to answer the phones. However when they did answer, the employees were no help. I specifically had to call multiple numbers for the card then The Children's Place and no one was able to help me. Why advised something if the customer cannot applied the discount on their purchase. This is the worst customer service experience I have ever had.

On June 15 I placed an order for 3 pants to be delivered as in previous orders to my son’s address and because of delays history, I paid an additional $20 on a $17.34 order for expedite shipping as offered. A month later and after several calls I received a text stating my package was undeliverable! Customer service couldn’t explain what happened and offered a full refund to my credit card.

My 3 package is on its way and would be here by the 8th and they had charged my card for those items but by the 10th I didn't have them so I call and they say it's because there was a problem with the warehouse and they never shipped me those items but charged my card but would give me 15$ in points to go order something else but when I tried it wouldn't accept my points.

In April I ordered a 6 month old body suit for my daughter. I was charged 12.59 for it. It took a month to come. I received it in May. On June 30 I was charged an additional 12.59 out of my account from The Children’s Place for no reason. I spent an hour and finally got through to customer service. The lady looked at my account and noted that yes I was charged for June the 30 because I wasn’t charged in April. She then puts me on hold for 20 minutes. The customer service agent then told me that I was charged the 12.59 in April and not in June. I asked her why, she said she saw that I was charged the 12.59 in June. She said she never told me that. I asked her why she was lying and she told me it was my bank's fault.

I read reviews prior to deciding to order several items from The Children’s Place. Reviews warned the company could make multiple charges to your bank account, therefore I decided to purchase a gift card to pay for the items I wanted. I purchased the gift card from Amazon for the exact amount I needed and amazon emailed the card number within minutes! I then completed the order and purchased the items. They were here within a few days. I also decided to “double watch“ the shipping history/dates by going directly to the shipping companies’ websites (USPS and UPS) and signing up for their text updates. This was helpful, as it did not always line up with what the Children’s Place reported through emails. When the clothes arrived, they were great and fit perfectly. So, overall, given the extra steps I had to take to ensure this, my experience was mostly pleasant.

I placed an order on The Children’s Place on June 5th, I ordered a total of 20 items. They canceled 6 of my items and delivered my last package on June 29! Through the delivery process they charged my account as every package delivered, keep in mind that you don’t get your full online order in one package. After they canceled my 6 items and told me that my items I paid for wouldn’t be delivered I tried contacting PayPal and also the customer service line for children’s place they both kept sending me to talk to both of them! I haven’t yet received my money back. The process of getting your order is extremely long and stressful and let’s not forget to mention they can cancel your items at any time and not give you the difference back! If I could rate my experience 0/5 stars I would. Don’t waste your time or money shopping with them, it’s a complete scam.

I purchased a lot of clothes, shoes and sunglasses the end of April. I received most of the items within a couple days I believe. I was getting a package every other day then it stopped. I got an email on May 9th saying a package would be delivered on May 10th on Mother’s Day. I’m like that’s odd but okay, but I never received the package. 22 items are still missing and I’ve sent a lot of emails to customer service. Called & still can’t get through. I got an email back saying they’ll contact me soon and gave me case #s for my claims.
It’s been 2 weeks since they sent that email and a few days since I sent another email telling them how unprofessional they’re being. To top it off I was charged for the items and it says they were delivered. I’m annoyed because I purchase double so my kids can match, & one of them has this shoe and that shirt or this shirt & those shorts. I sent pictures of the items I received & pics of items I didn’t receive, they could’ve easily sent what I didn’t get. I have never had problems from the store or online but if I don’t receive my items or my money back they lost a loyal customer.

I was making 2 orders to Spain recently. I ordered many things because of the high shipping and tax costs. We had 6 coupons that we used and it was a super offer. After we made the order, Children’s Place just cancelled some of the items, because the order was probably too cheap and without any info they just send it to Spain. Without our favourite things and most expensive ones in the order. The coupons are used, we don’t have them anymore.
Couple days later we made another order and we put to the basket same items but regular price without the extra coupons. The order was taking much more time this time. Finally they did the same thing. Best items from the order they just cancelled without any information and sent the package. I was writing to them 9 days in a row now - no response! Lack of professionalism, 0 contact, 0 responsibility. Horrible customer service! Phone contact - nothing! Always hanging up the phone and never ending story with too much customers in the line! The only thing is the children’s clothes are nice. Other than that, they just do what they want without any respect to the customer! 1 star is only for the clothes. If I could I would give 000 zerooo!

Before Covid-19 of I received orders sooner than now but still have received all orders within a 2-3 weeks of ordering. I like all the things I have received. The prices are great. People have complained because they ordered for a newborn, plan on a month before your things arrive. If they come sooner great, if not you are not going to be bothered. It is a bummer when you order and receive a message unavailable but Macys and other stores do the same thing. It's frustrating that the website and warehouse are not in sync. I know some things are sitting in closed stores but can't be accessed. I have never been charged for shipping.

This company is absolutely awful! I placed an order and was immediately charged in full. My items never arrived and customer service refused to provide any updates and they refused to refund my money. It was over a month and I missed the opportunity to give the items as a gift. The company still refuses to issue a refund. Stay away from them, they are crooks!!

First off I’ve recently ordered 25 pcs from this place for my oldest daughter granddaughter and newborn and 14 items were canceled the next morning. Now my oldest daughter (4) father and I co-parent Soo if I need anything We worked it out together. I my daughter is getting bigger while our time is standing still I decided to order from these people.
I tried to reach out to them in regards to my canceled order on the 22 of May no response. Got an e-mail later that day saying my order will be delivered on the 22 no order. Tepid calling the recording hangs up on me so I email them no response, I’ve tried tracking it through UPS. It should up in Los Angeles at 1:30am of which that’s where I am still no package. They said it was out for delivery and the driver was in transit still no package. So after sending another email today I thought I would read the reviews and was horrified. Now I have to share this with my daughter's father cause now I’m concerned about his credit card being misused by these people that allegedly took from others.

I ordered 10 items a month ago (not joking). After waiting 3 weeks they canceled 4 items off my order. Sent 3 items in 2 different shipments and the last remaining items are God only knows where. According to their tracking they were supposed to be delivered last week, they never showed. Now tracking says they’re in Florida for the last 5 days (I live in N.C.), it once again says it will be here tomorrow. I honestly don’t think it’s ever coming.

I ordered from The Children's Place on May 12th because they are having a 60-70% off storewide/online sale. I understand that shipping is taking longer than usual. Lord knows I have so many Amazon orders out there I am still waiting on. HOWEVER I most definitely am not pleased that they have taken multiple transactions out that I did not make. I guarantee they are doing this because they will file bankruptcy so they are stealing from all customers and do so by drawing you in with the sale. I ordered $143.43 of product and saved $201. Since May 12th I have had 11 transactions come out totaling $546.50. I have bought from the actual store multiple times so I had no reason to believe they would do this. I cancelled my card because I noticed this going on last night after my bank was closed and The Childrens Place customer service.
I had 2 alerts for $107.35 and another for $68.91, which total more than my original order. That's when I started looking through my bank statement online. After multiple attempts today on calling The Childrens Place, it finally went through and I got a hold of someone. What a joke that was. She went through the transactions they supposedly made and told me they only charge when they ship. "No Lady (her actual name) your company is committing fraud and overcharging customers." I can't believe how often they are doing this to people after reading the reviews now. I really do believe they are about to file bankruptcy.
Customer Service is blaming my bank and after talking to my bank they are saying it's the Children's Place. I filed a Dispute on all transactions made from this company since I have not received but 1 item so far. I had The Children's Place send me all transactions they supposedly made and we will see how long it will take to get all my money back now. They (TCP) did send me an email and said they attached the transaction but go figure, it was not attached. I have a feeling this is about to be a nightmare.

On May 11, 2020, I ordered $263 worth of clothes from them. Over the next 3 days, my account was charged over $700 for the order. After several failed attempts to get Customer Service to even acknowledge me, I mass emailed their Executive team. About 6 hours after that, I was contacted. I was then informed that the issue was with my bank and that they were sorry that I was confused. They completely pushed blame to my bank (that actually responds without me having to harass C level executives), and also my confusion. You can't make this up.
I strongly advise anyone to stay clear away from these corporate demons. I have proof of my claims and records of their atrocious response.

We contacted Children's Place but they will not do anything in regards to the items even though we did not receive them. They suggested contacting the post office but problem is part of the order had already been delivered to someone that is not us and part of it doesn't have tracking as it hasn't been sent. I even requested to speak to a supervisor and still was told nothing could be done.

Ten minutes after placing order I received notification the order was cancelled even though I had not cancelled it. My credit card was not charged. They are not answering phone calls, and not responding to my complaint via the case number I received back from an auto-reply.

When I got my order, I saw that the amount had not been changed. When I called them, I just got the arrogant answer that that tax rate (10%) was in their "system", and couldn't be changed.
I called the Oklahoma Tax Commission about the matter, and I was advised that Children's Place did not have authority to collect city taxes from me, and that Children's Place had an easy system that any employee could understand, but that they needed to get the correct "system." They are just lazy and do not want to put out the effort to get it right. So they arrogantly continue to illegally collect taxes from customers. Other companies such as Amazon and Overstock can get it right, Children's Place can't. I have no complaint with their products, just their sad, inadequate management.

If you are like me that buys from this company (over 10+yrs not giving them problems) all the time save every receipt you get for a few days, and double check your account within 3-5 business days if you made the mistake of paying with PayPal, if you can don’t pay with PayPal so you can your money back instore.It’s been more than a month and I still have to call PayPal so they can fix the problem and give me all the money they took.

Based on an email I received, orders placed prior to 12/18 at 5PM would qualify for guaranteed Christmas delivery. On 12/20 I received confirmation that my order had shipped. I checked the tracking as instructed and it showed a delivery date of 12/23. 12/23 came and went and my order was nowhere to be found. I checked tracking again and the delivery date had been updated to 12/24. 12/24 came and went and tracking showed "on its way" as the delivery date.
On 12/27 my order still had not arrived and I contacted customer service online. I went back and forth with them all day, with the same rep responding to my messages and telling me that since I placed my order on 12/17, it did not qualify for guaranteed Christmas delivery. That this offer was only for orders placed on 12/18 by 5pm, not orders placed by 12/18 at 5PM, despite the email I sent a screen shot of showing orders placed "by" 12/18 and not "on" 12/18.
The whole time I continued to check tracking and it continued to show "on its way". On 12/28 I called customer service and they don't me I would have to wait until 12/30, then call back if my order wasn't received and they would put in a search for the package. They also told me the same line about guaranteed Christmas delivery applying only to orders placed on 12/18 and that since I placed mine on 12/17, it didn't qualify. I repeatedly told them this was not acceptable since the email I showed stated otherwise. An hour later I was finally on with a supervisor.
It took the supervisor another half hour to issue the refund. Though they couldn't offer me an explanation as to why I was told by multiple reps that the Christmas delivery guarantee only applied to orders placed on 12/18. I told the supervisor that I didn't believe my order ever actually shipped out. I'm further convinced of this by the fact that they didn't say what I should do with the order, should it happen to arrive. I sent repeated feedback emails regarding my experience and never received one response. It's clear that they don't value their customers. Because of this, that will be the last time I shop with them. The store locations are no better. They are cluttered and jammed with merchandise.

I asked for a gift card instead so that I could go to the store and spend the money and I was told they couldn’t do it that way.. Christmas is next week and now all the sale priced items I ordered are full price again. I refuse to pay full price for something I already paid for and was lost. The customer service sucks. Hopefully I can find another store to purchase items at because I just lost 6 gifts that I now need to replace.

I placed an order on 12/9/19 and did receive it as of 12/18/19. There is no communication about my order and I called customer service and they basically told me to wait another 5 business days before calling back. This is why they will eventually go out of business because the service stinks both in store and out. This is also why everyone is now shopping on Amazon for everything. I should've followed my mind and order from Amazon instead. When I do receive this order (Hopefully by 2020) I am returning everything to the store and that's it with Children's place, no longer interested.

I went to Children's Place a few hours ago to return some items and exchange others. Asked the sales girl who was standing right beside me if I could take the shoes out of the bag and compare them to another pair in a different size. AGAIN, she was standing right beside me and said it was ok. Put the shoes back in the bag I had already purchased and continued looking at other shoes. When I turned around, she was staring at me as though I stole something and immediately turned away. I went to look at other items and she told a male employee to watch me. HOW EMBARRASSING! When I finished returning/exchanging my items, I told her she made me very uncomfortable and embarrassed to which she replied "huh". I let her know I heard her tell the male employee to watch me. She immediately dissed me and started helping another customer.
This was only my second time in this store as I was shopping for clothes for my niece and nephew. I was so hurt by this treatment, I couldn't wait to leave the store as I was trying to hold back the tears. The good mood I had about giving me niece and nephew clothes for Christmas was replaced with a dreadful feeling of embarrassment. I wish I had saw all the online reviews before going there.

Received order confirmation ASAP (quick to take my money) and then a shipping confirmation over the weekend of 12/7/19. Dress was supposed to be delivered on 12/10/19. When I went to check the status on my delivery, come to find out, that email was DELETED from the company! The only email I have is the one that says basically, Thanks for your money, dummy, but the order still is being processed. Online communication is like talking to a shoe - you get NOWHERE.

Had me call The Children’s Place. Spoke to the rudest woman I have ever talked to in my life.
I explained that they had charged me twice for the same amount. That it was their fault. That the amount had been removed from my account twice. She insisted that I was mistaken. That didn’t happen. That it was just a place holder, and the money wasn’t really removed. But because I had already spoken to the bank, and they verified that wasn’t the case, and that the money was fully removed from my account twice, I knew that I wasn’t mistaken. I explained again that I had spoken to my bank, and that I needed the money refunded or I was filing a claim, which involves the police. She told me to go ahead. So that is what I did. I am disputing the charge. Went and signed papers at the bank for them to investigate. The police will be involved if the company is found at fault and don’t return the money. It would be considered a theft. Do NOT shop here. The clothes are okay, but not worth the customer service drama at all. It is below a zero.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with Children's Place over all or just the store I went to at Town Center Mall in Kennesaw Ga. I had received 8 of those place cash weeks ago and remembered it was time to use them before the deadline. So I went to the store today to get around 160.00 or MORE worth of clothes thinking 80 dollars would be deducted due to the place cash I had and me only paying around 80. I was okay with me paying more of coarse if I went way over knowing I was still going to get 80 dollars off regardless.
So when it was time to pay the place cash that I had in hand had supposedly been used already and I showed her the digital place cash I had also and said they had been used too. Obviously I had not used them since when I received them and as far as I know when you use them they keep them not give them back. Anyway I was only able to use 4 and obviously I did not want to put stuff back. My total came out to be $170 and at this point I was still okay with that thinking either way as they advertise every $1 spent is 2 points and every 100 points is $5 so I get home and log in my account and it literally says I have ZERO points after just spending &170 there meaning I should have around 340 points which would be $15 worth of their points.

I emailed the credit department over and over again just to make sure they freaking answer me. They said I changed the amount that was to be paid and that’s why they charged me a late fee! Mind you the balance was 40$ so I gave a 20$ payment. They were asking for the minimum of 35$ as payment instead. I have also changed the payments before, last time I had a 30$ balance and I ended up giving a 15$ payment and it was fine and there was no late fee. Then why is there one now??!!
My credit limit is 500$ so it’s not like I’m not going to pay the 40 stupid dollars I’ve charged! If they don’t want you to change the amount why did they let me the first and why do they even offer it to begin with??! Super shady and they just want to screw you over somehow! To top it off they ship their merchandise really late with no shipping info. I had to bug them again to see where my daughter's dress was and their clothes suck! My daughter is 10 and she’s passed the age of having unicorns splashed all over her clothes! Update the tops and give girls more options, not everything has to be so girly and babyish! What about the older girls? What about the tweens? Target has way better stuff! Good luck credit card holders and beware new customers.

Oh my god The Children’s Place website is a scam, I made an order for school uniforms on July 7, 2019 from this site and they took it out of my account the same day, I got an email said that the order was in process and had a sure delivery date of July 17, 2019. On July 18, 2019 I received an email saying my package had been delivered. I went to the Postal Service looking for my packages and they say they never delivered any packages to my address. I showed them the email that I received and they was just as confused as I was. I call The Children’s Place 800 number only to be put on hold for 45 minute for the rep to tell me it was nothing they can do because I got free shipping and handling so I had opt out of the insurance on my packages and I had to call my bank to get my money back. As of today not refund or merchandise.

I ordered two backpacks online as my twin boys need bigger ones for school next week. They were "on sale" which I thought was awesome. Yesterday I decided to check the price and it went down $7 per bag so I called to request a price adjustment for the $14 after waiting on hold for 48 mins. The girl who answered barely spoke English and had no idea what I was asking and eventually hung up on me after I answered her three times as to why I was calling. Annoyed, I called back and waited another 48 mins to talk to another girl, told her the story all over again that the priced changed and that I wanted an adjustment. After putting me on hold like five times she finally came back and said, "Ummm ya. We can't do the adjustment because that item was already on sale when you bought it." I said that doesn't have anything to do with it, today it's cheaper than it was three days ago but she still said no and hung up.
This is terrible training and service. Reps should not have to ask their supervisor about every little question and I didn't think that my issue was that complicated and their reasoning is way out in left field with no logic or sense. If they aren't going to help people then don't bother answering the phone or even have a number to call. 0 stars.

I recently started shopping online for Children's Place. I have done several orders before the bad one. I set the order on Aug 8th, 2019 and paid for it at time of order. It took 2 plus weeks to ship which never happened before. I got the confirmation that it got shipped in my email. Then the next day my account was charged another $100 dollars. I was on hold for an hour and a half with estimated wait time 30 minutes. Just for them to tell me they are not giving my money back. I'm a single mom of 4 children and that was my gas and some grocery money. The man on the phone said my bank will give me back the money from the 8th and it was just a (hold or pending charge). It was not! I love their clothes and prices but I don't think I will ever do it again. The man was not passionate at all and didn't care that they took my money. Watch what you do online I guess...

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I purchased two separate orders online August 19, 2019. They were running a promotion to where if you spend $20 that you will receive $20 in Place Cash. I spent over $20 on each of my orders and was only rewarded $30 in Place Cash when it was supposed to be $40 in Place Cash rewards. Also on one of my orders they cancelled one of my items when the item I wanted is still showing on their website as available in the size I needed. I called customer service but like everyone else experience I waited over an hour and a half just for a representative to pick up the phone and hang back up on me. I tried calling again and waited another 40 minutes and still no response.
Also I regret signing up for their credit card because it also gave me problems. When I signed up for the 30% off my purchase when making the purchase with my credit card it said that I had already had a credit card when this was my first time ever signing up for the card so how did I already have a credit card with them? They did not give me the 30% off because of this which made me had to call the credit card for assistance. I never experienced this much inconvenience with Children's Place before and after these experiences I have had in the past 3 days since August 17th, I no plans in continuing any type of business with them!

Like every other review I have read, I placed an order on 8/7/19 and just checked my order status and it said “order processing.” I waited an hour and a half on hold (estimated wait time was 30 minutes) and finally someone answered the phone. I was told that there was a high number of online orders and as a result the shipping department was not updating order status. She told me that she would expedite shipping so that I get my items on Wednesday (day 10 of the 7-10 business day window they promise). She claimed my order was ready to go and within an hour I would get shipping info. We will see.
It just amazes me that a company as large as Children’s Place couldn’t get orders out on time. I understand there being a “large number of online orders,” but I don’t think this year would be any different than any other August...high volume of orders because kids start school in August!! And when I was searching their website for the customer service number, they still had sales going on. Why not pull back on sales so that the orders decrease while they are trying to catch up on orders!? I assume they don’t want people to shop elsewhere. Well, it looks like their horrible fulfillment center has costs them a lot of customers anyways!! If you need your order soon, call...but be prepared to wait for a very long time. It looks like they will expedite shipping if you complain.

I called the customer service number, held for over an hour and was then hung up on in the middle of my cancellation. I also sent an email to customer service and the automated reply indicated to call the customer service number for "immediate assistance." It should be noted that a customer is already advised (by recording) upon calling the number that 1) the wait time will be up to 30 minutes and 2) that orders may take up to 10 days to process. It did not indicate this when I was making my online order. Had it, I would have taken my business elsewhere. I've filed a complaint with my local Better Business Bureau as well.

I have been purchasing clothes from Children's Place for a long time, and I have never had such a terrible purchasing experience. I love that they have cute clothes for a good value but I will never purchase clothes again without allowing at least 2 weeks shipping time. I placed an order on 8/4 for back to school clothing and chose free shipping. I thought there would be plenty of time for clothes to arrive based on my past shopping experience with them. In fact, I did receive all back to school items from other stores I purchased from. But the clothes I purchased from Children's Place did not arrive in time for my daughter's first day of school and it was really disappointing.
I logged on to my account to find my order was still processing and had never shipped. I emailed Children's Place and they shipped it right away but never responded to my email. There was no explanation or apology, which was even more disappointing. I looked up their shipping policy and it says 10 business days for free shipping. I counted the days and I did receive my order on the 10th business day. However, had I not notified Children's Place I'm not sure if it would have arrived by then. The clothes are cute but I will not be making purchases without allowing at least 2 weeks shipping. Nor do I see myself making purchases for back to school clothing or clothing around major holidays for this reason.

I had to pay $40 for Uber to get to UPS and sent it back. Still have yet to hear anything and my son was stuck wearing old clothes on the first day of school. Do not buy from this company. They don't care about their customers and now it looks like I'm out the money, clothes, and the money for the Uber to send them the toddler clothes back. Only reason I gave one star is to be able to submit this review.

I placed two orders recently, one on 08/06/19 and one on 08/07/19. I received the order confirmations by email, and the money held on my credit card for both order. After a week with no shipping confirmation, I decided to call. But, every time I call customer service, the line is busy. I tried emailing customer service, but only received a generic email response saying that there is a high volume of emails so their response may be delayed. Then, both of my orders appear to have been cancelled. There is no order history when I log into my Children's Place account, all of my rewards points that I've accrued are gone, and the money is no longer being held from my account. I think it's horrible that they can cancel orders without letting customers know why, or without offering any substitutions or discounts towards future orders, especially right before school starts when a lot of families are counting on these orders.

I placed an order 8/03, every time I check status it says processing. Attempted to call over 15 times and get high volume of calls then it hangs up. I sent email and got same message. These are my Son's school clothes. He had to start school without them!!! I'm beyond pissed off!! WE NEED ANSWERS RIGHT NOW OR GIVE OUR MONEY BACK RIGHT NOW!!!

I ordered school uniforms, shoes, lunchbox, socks, and a water bottle 10 days ago, and my order is still processing. My child had to start school without new items and is very disappointed. Customer service is unreachable over both the phone and email. The phone sends you to a VM that states they’re experiencing high call volume, to call back later, and then disconnects. Email also sends an auto response of high email volume and they’ll respond when they can. They never respond though! It looks like the same thing is happening to hundreds or thousands of customers all over the country!

I ordered on August 2. The items have just shipped on August 12. Ok, that's fine, but they charged my card twice. That's over $200.00. I've tried calling the customer service line multiple times today. The number is busy. I've never experienced anything like this from a legit company. I am very pissed off. They charged me on the 2'nd of August, and again on the 12th. I will never order online through them again.

I placed an order over 8 days ago. Zero updates and after many sent emails, zero replies. I have tried calling in only for an automated robot to come on and say they’re experiential high volume calling and hung up on. Can’t get through on their social media pages, nothing. Us customers who trusted in The Children's Place for back to school clothes, uniforms, coats, socks, you name it are now being left hanging. How hard would it be to put up an automated message informing us of delays or solutions instead of some idiot telling us we can’t get through and to try later. Later? I’ve been calling for days. ALL hours of the days. This is completely unacceptable.
No option to even cancel our orders. Any other company you order from, you don’t go through this shadiness and hassle. And if there’s a delay, they at least give you the option to cancel so you can take your money elsewhere. This is robbery. Some of us work very hard for our money to provide for our kids and now have to go elsewhere for school clothes but not even have our money back from The Children's Place. Please do something about this company and fast!

I am usually very happy with how quickly I receive my orders from The Children's Place. But not this time!!! I ordered 9 polos for my son on August 4th. They charged my card, sent one email saying that my order is being processed and I'm still waiting on my order as of today (August 12, 2019). I have emailed and got an auto response saying my case will be reviewed and they are experiencing a large amount of emails at the moment. That was over a week ago and I'm yet to hear from someone! I've also called a good 50 times and every time I get the hung up on by the automated system! This is the last time I will ever order from them again!!

I placed an order 8/2 and here it is 10 days later still no word on my children's school clothes. The CS number has not been able to connect to a live in the last week. I need to know WHERE is my order and whether they will be honoring my order. $250.00 hold on my CC and no one can tell me where the order stands. If I have to go and repurchase items from another retailer I will be requesting a credit immediately. I do plan on filing a BBB complaint as well after I am done with this review. I don't think a company as big as CP should leave their customers out in the dark. Shame on you to not even have a representative available to at least cancel the order completely.
I purchased these items during the no tax weekend and now they will probably state they can't honor it because the order was placed after. It's not my fault your company was not prepared for the number of orders that were entered. I WANT A REFUND, I WANT a CREDIT FOR THE "TAX" I originally was afforded the opportunity to purchase school clothes without tax.

I submitted an order for uniforms on 8/1. I was fine with the 7-10 day shipping time so I didn't really check until today only to find out that the status wasn't updated AT ALL. School starts in 3 days and there is nothing I can do now except cancel the order until they get their stuff together. Seems to me that their "amazing deal" on uniforms got them more attention than they wanted and now they're overwhelmed with orders.

I placed a very large order on 8/3. 5 pairs of shorts, 6 pairs of jean's, 2 packs of socks, 2 windbreakers and 2 shirts. I've been checking daily for it to ship. I saw other complaints on Instagram and Facebook and realized it was shipping late. I accepted that. Today, I woke up to my recent orders blank. They seem to have cancelled my order and not even notified me. The charge is still on my account and I would like an explanation. I've been shopping with them for years! I believe they decided I got too big of a discount and because they are overwhelmed, I'm not worth their time. Order **.

I recently ordered items from them online and I got email saying at one point that they are having sorting issues in Georgia and that there will be a delay. Well when I received the item the outside shipping label was for my home but the order slip and clothes inside were for someone in Texas! I have tried calling numerous times to get recording saying they are experiencing high caller volumes and to try later then it hangs up! I then wrote to them to get a case number but it also saying they are experiencing high email volumes! I am so ticked that all the clothes I bought my grandson for school are delivered to someone else and if they think I am going to pay for items I didn't get they are so wrong! I plan on calling my store to see if they can help! I wrote to the credit card company. I have with their logo so they know I didn't get items and that I will not pay for items I didn't get!

As you all have read about the other reviews I am in the same boat! But my order in last week I still see it processing. I have never had this issue with them before so I called.

I have been a customer with Children's Place over 20 yrs. And this is the first time I have had such a horrible experience. I placed my order online (school uniforms & shoes for my daughter). I use my 25% off b-day coupon combined w/ Taking tax free weekend in FL on Monday evening 8/5/19. My online purchase was confirmed for just $59.00 in an email (I was so happy saved big, so I thought) since most times I forget to use my my Place Cash--they expire before I remember them. Next morning I woke up to a email stating it was cancelled?? :( I was so puzzled??? The email said I needed to call customer service for more details why my order was cancelled.
It took 2-days after several back to back call, long hold times and multiple drop call transfers to a nonexistent "online inquiries department". Finally today I speak with an agent today that tells me, my order was cancelled because my address with my bank had to be verified, they ask if it was recently changed, I told them no, I have the same address for over 15 yrs. After a 3-way call with the bank and customer service at Children's Place my bank confirmed my address did not change. They said unfortunately they cant' re-submit my online order because it was cancelled, I would have to re-submit my order myself. I ask for a new b-day coupon code and they re-issued it. They said I need to wait 24-48 hrs for clearance to re-submit my order to process the info that my address was not changed in their systems???? I'm like are you kidding me. My child needs her uniforms. School starts next week???
I need to speak to manager. After another 30 min hold the manager tells me it’s the process>>?? When since do they make the error cancel my order unnecessarily (false excuse) but it cost me time, money and aggravation >??? Where is the customer service at this point. I am so fed up!!!! I placed my new order today --- using the b-day 25%% discount code re-issued to me --- but 3 major issues
1. Tax free week has ended.2. Some of the merchandise from original order not available or the price has increased. :(
3. My need total is $84.00 for less merchandise???
How is this fair?? To me a consumer for over 20 yrs, I'm not even sure if I will get my order since I ordered be 48 hr clearance but I had to try because my child needs her uniforms for school. I personally believe Children's Place online dept. are cancelling customer orders on purpose in effort to regulate the amount of discounts used by customers they cancel orders using too many discounts or if they feel the customer saved too much even though we earned our points & discount benefits, they put us through all this mess to lose our cash reward points, and miss sale prices. It’s a scam!!! They won’t even honor your original order or prices even though they know that the cancelled order was wrong and to no fault of the customer. I am so very disappointed with Children’s Place and I will no longer do business with them after this. It's a shame. After 20 yrs they show no loyalty to customers. Bad business!!! Unhappy customer. :(

I made 2 orders a week apart. The first order was to be shipped to the store. I was given a pick-up date of August 7. When I went to check to see if my order has arrived, the date is switched to August 21. That order contained my kids’ uniforms. Their suggestion was to give me 25% off and I drive to another store. There is only 1 Children’s place within 30 miles of my home. They have nothing in stock. So the next suggestion was to give me 300 points. What in the world are my kids going to do with 300 points when school starts. NOTHING!! Now, I have to waste time, money, and energy to look for more uniforms. A lot of fun that will be especially since school starts in 5 days.

Original Review: I love The Children’s Place clothing and I have been a faithful customer but this was my first time dealing with them online and they have disappointed me. I have made a large purchase 3 weeks ago and still haven’t received anything from them. I received a confirmation number and they did a “partial shipment” and the rest of the shipment is still been processed. When I called customer service, the phone call keeps dropping the call after it tells you that they are experiencing a heavy volume of calls.
At this point I would like for this to go further and I would like to know why I haven’t received my shipment and why was I still charged in my account when My shipment is still being processing and mind you this was 3 weeks ago. I ordered in advanced to avoid the hassle of shopping at the store. Now my kids are starting school in 4 days and I have no answer from this company. I am very disappointed with customer service and with this company. I will definitely not shop with them again, at least not online.
