I love the outfits at The Children’s Place for my new baby niece. But the wait times 2 weeks and it hasn’t even shipped yet. I still have no shipping confirmation. And don’t even think about calling to find out what the hold up is on your purchase because you’ll be on the phone waiting for a very long while. I’m on hold right now 53 minutes and counting, bottom line is The Children’s Place Customers Service SUCKS.

On August 13, 2019, I placed an online order to Children's Place for school uniforms. It is now the 19th of August, and my order is still pending. 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 suggest everyone do the same. This is unacceptable.

Another mom here that ordered her kid's school uniforms online. I placed the order on 8/9/2019 and 11 days later my order is still in processing status. Tried several times to call and they never pick up, have not gotten a response to the emails I wrote either. My MIL bought the kids some jackets from here also and she is having the same problem. This is the last time I am ordering anything from this place.

Is this company shut down or something? Right along with everyone else I placed an order 8/7/19. I sent an email requesting an update on 8/15 with no response. Today is 8/19 and I have tried several times to call with no one answering the phone. Horrible customer service and I will never purchase from them again!! At this point I just want to cancel the order but can't get a hold of anyone.

Just like everyone else I placed a big order for back to school. With me having 5 girls and trying to save money I decided to buy here. I always buy online and receive my order within 1-2 weeks. I check the order status of my package every day and it still says processing. Some a company that offers credit cards, rewards, cash back and low prices are sure in over their heads. I understand that it may be a lot of orders but I've ordered from other clothing stores and I've already received my items within a week. I emailed that I wanted to cancel my order but no response. I opened a credit card with them and never received it either. It's been 8 days and I still heard nothing from no one because you can't get through to anyone. The prices and promotions are good but their shipping policy is terrible. Its says 10 days but it haven't even shipped. Should of bought in stores instead of online. Now I know.

Never dealt with such incompetent people in my life. I truly like the store and its clothing, but the employees they have hired for, their Customer Service Reps, need desperate training. If they don't upgrade them and their response time on speaking with someone, they are going to lose a lot of business. Nobody wants to deal with idiots or having to wait 30 minutes to do so!!

Just like everybody else I placed an order on August 7, 2019 a few days before my children would be starting school. I knew that I should have the items right BEFORE school started so I ordered $40 worth of uniforms for my son & 2 shirts for my daughter.. It is now August 17 and it still says the order is processing! I can see why they are shutting stores down this year! This is definitely my last and final order I will place with this company!

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 placed my order on the 8th of August 2019, and here I am on the 17th of August with a status of "order received". I've called their customer care center 5 days in a row to cancel the order. I remain on hold with music for over an hour every time with no answer, eventually giving up due to other responsibilities. Prior to ordering I received a notice that I was pre-approved for a $500 credit line. I used $80. I've been ordering from Children's Place for 4 years, however this is my first time using their card. I tried to cancel the transaction with the card company, no success. I'm assuming my order will process AFTER I get interest placed against me for using the card. I'd really like to pay the balance, yet again, can't due to the order not being processed. Rock and a hard place. Don't recommend to anyone attempting to re-establish credit.

I placed an online order on July 25th for school clothes. As of August 16th, I was still missing an item. Sent 2 different emails and got no response... Had to sit on hold almost an hour and a half to FINALLY get a refund. I will NEVER make an online purchase with them again, most horrible experience.

I ordered girls polo school uniform 11 days ago. My debit card was charged. I never received a confirmation email nor did I receive my items. I call customer service waiting for over 40 mins on the phone. No one picked up the phone. I called several times. Still no customer assistance.. I decided to go in the store. I showed the sale clerk my confirmation number. She said it’s not showing in the system and there is not she can do. She gave me a card to call customer service about my order. I called the number on the card. Still no one picked up the phone. Very disappointed ☹️ So is my little one because she was looking out for her school uniforms.

We submitted an online order on 8/8/2019 for only 2 pairs of Jeans. Till this day the order is still processing. We decide to call the 1800 number just to wait over an hr. So we hung up, after deciding to wait it out again we waited for an hr and 30 min. When we got ahold of a customer service rep he was very rude. After getting nowhere with him we ask for a supervisor and he hung up on us. I'm sure Children's Place will be going out of business soon.

Just like all the reviews I have the same complaint. I thought by ordering online I would've got it faster, but yet my kids will be starting school. In a few days, and still no uniforms. I will not never buy anything else for Children's Place, and will not recommend it to friends or family. The most sad thing is you can't even speak to a live person. Because the phone hangs up on you after it says it pre-recorded voicemail. I will not spend anymore of my hard earn money here in this establishment. Smh!

I wish I read some of these reviews before I placed my order!!! I placed my order on August the 5th it still says order processing. I've never seen it take this long.. I've never had an issue with orders or shipping, but this is ridiculous. I've called several times and not been able to get through because of the long hold times. I have also sent 2 emails and got nothing. Not sure what's going on. I also read they are closing 45 stores.

As I read these other reviews it makes me wonder what is going on with this company. I placed an order on 8/11/19 as same as everyone else my order still says processing, you can’t get a answer from customer service nor emails answered . With over 306 reviews of the same issues this should make the news and some attorneys should step in. Smh. I’m beyond glad I’m only out of 49.95$ and not hundreds.

I ordered some polo shirts and uniform pants for my kids. They were supposed to be available in the store for pickup between August 4-8 but didn’t get an email till the 9th that they were ready for pickup when I wasn’t available any more to pick up the order. The order was gonna be cancelled and returned on the 16th if not picked up so I called the store on the 15th to to see if my husband “with the same last name and same address” could pick it up or if it could be held till I got back and was told no and asked to call customer service. I did, was on hold for 58 minutes before talking to a rep who tried to help but was told he couldn’t add my husband as an alternate person to pick up and he also called the store to see if they could hold the order but was told, "no."
All this took over a hour and a half for something that could have been resolved with one phone call and still wasn’t. The rep verified all my information to make sure I was the one who placed the order. So I don’t understand why I couldn’t authorize someone else to pick the order up for me. Makes absolutely no sense to me but I know where I won’t be shopping anymore. The rep I spoke with did try to help so it’s the supervisors above him and the store supervisors making nonsense decisions that will ruin the store.

Like everyone else, I placed a large back to school order on 8/16/19 and it still states order received. I have called them with the response they have a high call volume and then it hangs up on me.

I placed an order a week ago for uniforms for my son, it’s been a week now and my order is still “processing”. I cannot get through to them over the phone as the automated system keeps saying they’re “experiencing high call volumes, call back later” and it hangs up. I’m very frustrated and mislead. I’m worried I won’t have his uniforms before school begins. I ordered a backpack from another website on the same exact day as I ordered the uniforms from The Children's Place and the backpack came days ago!! Yet The Children's Place hasn’t even SHIPPED my order yet! Very disappointed.

We have been purchasing clothes for our daughter from The Children's Place for 12 yrs! They have never had great customer service. But it was not terrible. Until now! Now you can't get them to ship your purchases. They won't answer the phone or respond to your emails. It is incredibly unprofessional and disappointing!!! Remember...you can file a fraud claim with your bank if they take your money without shipping your goods and providing a TRACKING NUMBER and you can always file a complaint with the BBB of New Jersey (their Corp HQ) and file a complaint with the FTC. They better do better before they no longer have a business!!!

Wish I would have read all these reviews before shopping. I spend over 90 bucks on baby clothes and 4 uniforms and still nothing. It’s been processing since 8/8/19. It’s now 8/14/19. It said it would be shipped within 10 days and still no other info on my order. Very annoyed. I better get a refund on my credit card. A full refund if my items never show up.

I made a purchase on August 3, 2019. It has been in the "processing" phase since that date. (Today is Aug. 14, 2019). I called and have been bumped off because of "high call volume" and it hangs up on me. I sent an email... still waiting. Finally, my card has cancelled this order because it was 'sitting' out there.

I placed an order on 07/30/2019 for school uniform shirts for my son. I never received a confirmation email and when I log onto my account it doesn't even show I placed the order. I called customer service after a few days of getting nothing and was told they had no record of my order although they took the money out of my checking account. Then out of the blue on 08/05 I got an email stating my order had shipped! I have been trying to track it ever since and USPS states only a label has been created but they have not received the order to ship and it has stated the same ever since.
Today is the 14th of August and still nothing. I called customer service about thirty times in the last 2 weeks and a recording tells me they are busy and to call back later and hangs up on me....doesn't even give me an option to hold. I contacted corporate and they promised me a call back by the end of that day and gave me an alternate email to send my complaint and no one called me back and the response email was again automated stating they have high volume of emails and referred to the same customer service number that hangs up on people. I called corporate back this morning and the lady was very rude and told me she can only handle sales and that I need to call customer service and she hung up on me as well.
I see they posted a statement on social media that states there is 10 business day delivery turn around but I ordered on 07/30 so WHERE IS MY PACKAGE? My son starts school Monday morning and they have a strict uniform policy and I have no uniforms for him as he is going to a new school and has none of their colors! I have no more money to buy more uniforms as I spent it all ordering from Children's Place. I am beyond pissed off and I am contemplating contacting an attorney. I have already contacted the local news station and requested they be blasted on air for the poor way they are treating their consumers. I will never shop or order from this company again!

I purchase clothes online. Well it's been a nightmare. It took The Children Place over 10 days to processing when they said the items would be delivered 10 days. I emailed several times to find out why, no response. Also, I called, customer service line recording said to high volume calls and to call back at another time and was disconnected. I called and choose the credit card department and talked to John **. I then explained my concern, his response can't help and wanted to transfer me to customer service I told him no because I just get recording and get disconnected. The response from him was well what do you me to do because I can't help you - too bad too sad.
I then said I'll just call corporate, his response was, go-ahead. I called corporate and spoke to Lyla, again I explained what was going on with my order, she apologized and she that the customer service phone number and the email address on The Children Place website was incorrect, my response was why would you put the incorrect information on the website. The answer I was given I don't know but offered another email address and phone number, I told her no that I would like to talk to someone in a higher position, she told me no and to have a nice day and hung up. I would advise to stay away from purchasing from The Children's Place. It's a bad bad company awful customer. They lost a customer.

I placed an order on 7/27, received only 2 of the 8 items I ordered. The other items were supposedly shipped, but have been stuck at "on its way" in tracking for ages. I received an email saying that the order would arrive the next day (8/1). Well that never happened. on 8/1, the package did not show up and the status changed to "on its way" that night. On 8/9, I called in and, after a lengthy hold and conversation with a rep, I was set to to be issued a refund in the amount of 27.78. Today (8/13), I have received an email saying I will be credited only 7.44. As I type this review, I have been on hold for over 30 minutes trying to settle this matter. No matter how good he sale, STAY AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN'S PLACE. If you must buy from them, go into the physical store. I will be putting my review everywhere I can find to put it, so no one else wastes their time and money.

I order from this place all the time and never have a problem. Shame on me for having too much faith in this company. I have submitted and PAID for x2 different orders and have yet to have any type or response. Money has been deducted from my account yet and still my kids have not received their items. It does say in my account that order was received but no other information is available after that. The orders have been processing for over a week now. I have been left with no other choice but to go out and try to find whatever clothes have been picked over to get my girls ready for the 1st day of school which is less than a week away. Thanks Children's Place for showing me who you truly are....Deceptive, misleading, scammers and definitely UNRELIABLE!!

I placed a $400 order to Children's Place for school uniforms and clothes for my two kids in July. Order is still not shipped. I can't afford to spend another $400 to buy enough clothes until the order comes. I deserve at least a gift card or refund. I have no idea what's going on with my order, no one will answer or respond to emails. School has started and still no clothes. It needs to be investigated.

Children’s place order # **. I placed this order on 6/20. There were 31 items in this order and as of 7/26 the Chicago Ridge store had not received my order. Saving 5% was not worth the headache of not receiving my items when promised. Customer service is no help and they only told me the order was at a distribution center. I finally got a text stating 24 items were re-shipped. After traveling for 45 mins to the store and picking up my package, there were only 14 items in the package and 14 items listed on the packing slip. As of today, 8/12, I continue to try to get my money back. I’ve filed a complaint with my credit card.

I have never had issues at the store, however, I just placed an online order and the time they are taking to process it seems unreal in the modern days where we buy so much online! I placed two orders on 8/3/19, taking advantage of the tax-free week in Florida. After realizing I have not received any email notifications regarding my orders being processed and shipped, I logged into the Children's Place website only to confirmed that the status of both of my orders is "RECEIVED"!!!! Once I open the order for further tracking it states "Order Received: Processing". Nine days to receive and start to process my orders is just unacceptable, especially taking into account school is about to start and they are selling school uniforms! I hope this company makes some investments to make sure their online ordering services improve, otherwise, I do not believe they will be able to thrive. Very, very disappointed!

So I placed 2 orders, one on 8-1-19 and 8-2-19 which when you placed the order it says it’s going to be delivered within 7 to 10 business days.

I can’t cancel the order since it’s on its way but I just received an email saying “Running a bit behind.“ Really. I would have never ordered from them if I knew I wasn’t going to have my kids' school clothes on time. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.

Ordered the kids uniforms for school in July. They sent me someone else's order with toddler clothes. After calling and calling without being able to get through for days, I finally contacted someone. They said they would ship it out and to send the other items back. 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 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 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 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.

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! How the heck are you supposed to get a hold of these people?

I placed an order in July and I received my order on the date expected. Problem I was missing 2 items. I contacted customers service. I can't get through due to high call volume and it hangs up. I've been calling for two weeks, sent several emails and still no answer. I talked to the store and they stated they were unable to get through. What am I supposed to do? It honestly makes no sense it's going on 3 weeks.

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. Well every time I call it hangs up so I finally picked the last option and someone got on the phone and told me it's because of school uniforms and so many people are ordering them. She told me I would get an email within 24 to 48 hrs when I have not received one and I also emailed them before I called and still no response. Very unprofessional!!!

I placed an order on 8/03 for my son's school clothes. They deducted the money right away from my account but yet my order is still showing "processing". I have emailed them THREE TIMES with no response. I have called their customer service number SEVERAL times for it to tell me that they are experiencing a high call volume and then disconnect the call. I have ordered from The Children's Place several times in the past and never had an issue. I am so upset! These are my son's school clothes! Now I am placing an order elsewhere and paying for overnight shipping while my order with The Children's Place just hangs in the black abyss. I will NEVER EVER order from them again!

I wish I would have researched the company before purchasing the product online. I assumed since I have seen the stores in the mall, this was pretty legit company. I placed my order on 8/2, waited two days and did not receive any correspondence at all. I decided to log onto my account and research the status of my order, only to find my recent orders to be blank.
Confused, I tried to reach out to the company, by calling them and I always received a "We are at a high call volume at this time" and the phone disconnects. I tried to email, but have yet to receive anything back. I noticed the charge came through on my credit card on 8/5. Today, I noticed that charge has disappeared.

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.

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.

I would not recommend ordering clothes online and selecting the option for same day pick-up. I made an order while in the store so I know the merchandise was in stock. The price was cheaper online than in the store. After waiting about 2.5 hours I never received a notification to pick-up the merchandise. Since I did not live in the area I asked the manager if they had received the online request (White Marsh, Baltimore County location). She was short with me and did not have a can do attitude. She basically said the order had not been pushed through and no desire to help me any further. I asked for the corporate number to get assistance with online orders. She gave it to me, but lied and said they were closed on weekends.
I called the number and got a human. At that point I was upset. I told the representative to cancel my order. He told me there was no way for him to cancel it and I would have to cancel the order by not picking it up after they said it was ready. This process takes days as you have about seven days to pick up the merchandise. With all this I never received confirmation that I could pick up my same day order on Saturday or Sunday either for that matter. I got an email on Monday saying they were unable to fill my order. This experience was unprofessional both in store and online. Meanwhile I took my money to Old Navy with no issues. If The Children's Place wants to stay in business they have to do better or they will find themselves closed like many other retailer.

I applied for The Children's Place card because I got discount for my total purchase. I usually bought clothes from Gymboree and Kohl’s. But in 2017 The Children's Place was the only place I find what I was looking for but at regular prices. We moved and we didn’t get the statement (at this new address, my mail gets mixed with my neighbors. I do give them their mail, but one of the neighbors is a jerk and keeps it). Because it was first time being late paying the bill, they voided it. Now, the Gymboree closed and I shopped at The Children's Place again in 2019 using their card thinking that I’m getting points (which I found out is not true; I can get points without using their card). I sent the bill in time as my other bills from the same mail box.
I have credit cards for every single store I shop at because of discount or points or promotions. I’m never late paying my bills and our credit card score is over 800. After I paid my bill, they send me another statement with my amount due and FEES. I didn’t even see the fees and I called the card to question the amount. That’s the way I found out that I was one day late paying my previous bill. I didn’t want to pay $29 fees. The customer service representative transferred me to Spanish line (I don’t speak Spanish). They couldn’t answer to my questions. It did sound suspicious to me. I couldn’t understand how I was late just for this card? I’m paying in time; I sent a couple of checks due at the same time (AT&T, HOA, Kohl’s....); all got it in time besides this card from The Children's Place. They couldn’t void the fees because they will do it just once.
I canceled my account right away due to our bad conversation over the phone....And they told me that I’ll go to the collections if I don’t pay the fees. I didn’t want to pay over the phone because I was very upset. I don’t want my credit score screwed for $29, I wrote the check and sent it for $29 fees IN TIME AGAIN. NOW, this month, I got another statement from them to pay another $29 late fees for being late paying last fees!!!? I called them again being on hold and arguing for over one hour. The conclusion: Because I cancelled my account, they can’t do anything for me. I don’t need their card and I hate shopping there.

So, today I went to Children’s Place, and it was a very tragic experience. I was knee deep in clothes for my little girl, and I realized I forgot my wallet in the car, I have at least 12 things picked out by then. So, I went and picked up my wallet and went back. As I was picking out clothes, this family came in and they weren’t happy with each other. Of course, they came to the section I was in (go figure.). Then, they started arguing RIGHT BESIDE ME. I was terrified. They were hollering at each other, and I thought they were gonna start swinging.
To top it off they were looking for the same sizes I was. I got nervous because I was about to be in a brawl that I didn’t want to be in. I hurried and got what I wanted and went to a checkout line. Then, there was a woman who was yelling at her son for crying, and it made me think, well shoot, I do the same thing to my daughter. That made me realize that I am a bad mom. This experience has me never wanting to go into that store again. All in all it was a great life experience! I gave it four for the cute unicorn shorts I bought for my daughter.

We placed almost a 300 purchase for my kiddos. All went well. Confirmation number. 3 days later...cancelled...no reason. Money still pending in account. Could not reorder cancelled items. The customer service representative, would not say why it was cancelled. They wanted to talk to my bank first. What the heck?? The order was cancelled. Why do they still want to talk to my bank. They said it was a normal procedure. I have ordered many things online. It's not normal to cancel without reason and refuse to give answers unless they talk to my bank.

An online order was placed five weeks ago, with the wrong sized items being delivered the following week. I called customer service and after a 45 minute phone call the representative stated the correct sized item would be reshipped and delivered the following week. Two weeks past and no items were ever sent. I called again and was told that the representative never placed my new order. So again, after another 45 minute call the supervisor assured me that the delivery was set and I would receive the item within 5-10 business days.
Two weeks after that call no items arrived. I then made a THIRD phone call and was told there is nothing this company can do on their end until the product is received. She then proceeded to hang up on me. It has been almost three weeks since I was guaranteed the second shipment, with tracking, and the item hasn’t even been sent out yet. All in all I been waiting over SIX weeks for one item! This is one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a company.

Updated on 04/09/2019: I got the best news from the Children’s Place representative today!! My package was lost in transit. That’s right. Lost in transit. Meanwhile the UPS website says the label has been created and it’s on its way to UPS. They can’t help until the 11th day, meanwhile they have a 10 business day policy, I SMELL **! Abby which is probably a fake name puts her supervisor on and offers me the best deal they have and that’s 800 reward point. No I don’t want your reward points. I want my money back. They can’t refund me my money. Whoever the CEO OF CHILDREN'S PLACE is should be ashamed of themselves taking innocent people's money and not delivering what customers order. Stay far away from these con artist, thieves, crooks and scam artist.
Original Review: I placed an order last week and I still haven’t received my order. They are blaming UPS for not updating their system. Little do they know my husband works for UPS for the past 22 years. They say it’s in transit, no it’s not, label is still being created. Then they told me the package was delivered to USPS on April 1st. Called USPS. They haven’t received anything. They are liars and take your money and don’t want to help you at all. I will never order from them again. They lost a customer for good. I can care less about their sales. I rather spend more money knowing I will get my package on time.

Terrible treatment in the store in Fredericton, NB Canada. Had to wait for my daughter to have access to the change room. I stood patiently for about 20 minutes during which time the store Manager stopped by and looked at me and another customer and walked away. After this the other customer told me there is another change room in the store which I was unaware of since I do not shop in the baby section. Finally my daughter got changed. Next my phone lost battery and I could not access my Children's Place $10 off coupon but had shown it to the cashier earlier when daughter was changing. She could not help me out and I asked her when I could charge my phone up on her computer and she said no and then I asked her for an electrical outlet where I could charge my phone and she directed me to one.
Next the Store Manager stopped by to see what I was doing and I told her I had to wait for 20 minutes for a change room when there was one available and she did not have the common sense to tell me about the other change room. Next she grabbed the clothes I had in my hands and marched off to the cash register stating 'I have to get you out of here'. Then I told her at the cash that you should have a workaround for the $10 off coupon and she blatantly looked at me and said, "Pardon me." And I indicated the cashier knew I had a coupon but couldn't help me. She said, "I am the Manager and only I can only authorize coupon" and I indicated, "The cashier should be able to ask you to authorize it!" Anyway long story short I NEVER WILL SHOP THERE AGAIN.

As I was leaving the Country (USA) for next 5 yrs, I called and made all the required payments and told them to close my credit card in the first week of June 2017. Unfortunately even after making all the payments of about 300 Dollars made in last few months some $3 and few remained pending to be paid in my account. And so to my ignorance my The Children's Place credit card was not closed. (As I had just got my place credit card in April, I still didn't have my physical card yet). I left the country on June 9th 2017.
Fast Fwd few months and in March 2018, when my friends brings me all the mail to the country where I stay now, I see a The Children's Place bill of $211, shocking and surprised I call them and they connect me with the bank and they ask me to make settlement payment of $70 dollars instead, so I immediately make it and tell them to close my credit card as I no longer want it. This last conversation happened on March 12th. They tell me I will receive the notification and it will take at least 10 -15 days to close the bank account and for me to get the confirmation And so I believed them.
Fast forward almost a year later, when I get new sets of mails from my friend I see to more charges from The Children's Place 1) June 23rd with a new balance of $31 which states $14.50 is the fees charged on $17 previous payment. 2) 1st Jan that my debt of $182 dollars is moved to payment collector. Where did I go wrong, after paying once and for all settlement fees of $70. This is the first time ever I have confronted such issue which is spoiling my credit score. Please customers Don't get lure by The Children's Place's cashiers and employees in getting a credit card done for the just getting a discount of 15% extra. Their bank which handles the retail chain's finances sucks. It is just a trap.

I placed an order with children place and I received an email that my order shipped 01/24... I placed another order 01/25 and 01/27. The orders that I placed later I received before the order that shipped 01/24. (I still didn't received that order.) I called the CS to ask them what is going on with my package as I was already charged under my credit card for it. I also said that the tracking number is not changing and in the system shows "in transit to UPS" for 8 days now.
THE CS rep on the phone said IT TAKES UP TO 10 DAYS (I called on 02/01) and let them know that my order is pending under the website. I called yesteday because the order status is still not changing and I did not received my order but my credit card was charged. The rep on the phone said that it was UPS fault so I called the UPS and UPS said that the tracking number of my order is not correct and it was an error on Children's Place side.
The order is lost, so I called back because my credit card was charged and the rep said she cannot refunded my account. Only she can give me 700 points towards my account to cover the lost. The thing is I dont want rewards points as the stuff that I wanted are now out of stock, AND THERE IS NOTHING similar to stuff that were lost... Plus the points have expiration date that if I won't use them they expire... So please be careful and track your packages if you are ordering with Children's Place... If the order is in transit for more than 5 days it is probably lost.

I have been a Children's Place customer and cardholder for less than a year. I like the clothing they offer because the graphic tees are fun and cute and usually a pretty good deal when sales and rewards are combined. That being said, I have placed multiple online orders going back to December 2018 and each one of them has been cancelled a few hours to a day after I placed the order! I had my first 2 orders with them go through when I first got the card, but every order since has been cancelled without explanation! I have enough money on the card, all of my billing and shipping info is correct, and still my orders are cancelled!
As a separate, but related issue, given my feudal attempts at ordering online... I needed the clothing I purchased online for my children who are growing out of their current sizes of clothing. Since I wasn't able to order the clothes online, I took the time to go into a brick and mortar store. I went at the beginning of January, 2019, and when I went to make my purchase at the store, again, I had more than enough money to pay for my purchase on my Children's Place Credit Card. When I went to pay for my items, my card was declined repeatedly!
Finally, the associate called customer service for Children's Place and put me on the phone with the representative. Since it was after hours at their main headquarters, all this representative could tell me was that for some reason I only had $132 available to spend on my card, however, when I looked at the Children's place app on my phone, at that very same moment, I saw that I had over $400 as an available balance. The representative couldn't tell me the reason for the discrepancy, just that that was all I could spend a that moment or my card would be declined! I was floored! I wanted to void my transaction and leave the store, but my child needed the clothing, so I used all of the credit I was allowed and paid the rest with another form of payment...
Fast forward to three days ago when I went to try and make another order online as I had $15 in rewards bucks and a 20% coupon waiting in my account. I made my order and paid with my rewards bucks, used my coupon, and paid the balance with my Children's Place card. I received an email within five minutes confirming my order and it stated I would be emailed when my order was being shipped. An hour later I received an email that my order had been cancelled, for no reason!!! Not only that, but I checked my account and my available balance was short the amount I paid for the order and my rewards bucks were still gone!
The latest order was placed on February 3rd, and I still, as of February 08th, 2019, have not had my rewards bucks returned to my account. And, I just received an email asking, "Am I using my Children's Place card to its full potential," and that I have money on my card to spend. But I just, at this moment tried to place an order online, again, and my card was decline for insufficient funds! I am done with your games, Children's Place!!! This is ridiculous! I will pay off my card, close my account, and not shop at your stores again! I will also warn others to do the same!

I went to return pajamas WITH tags, WITH receipt on January 19, 2019 and were told that I was 3 days past the return deadline (of which I had no knowledge). I've heard of return deadlines where you can only get store credit afterward but one in which the company could easily resell the products (with tags, never worn) but won't, on a technicality, is draconian and unacceptable. I've heard of no-store-credit after 60 or 90 days - but 45? The value of my return was $15 and the value of their inability to give me store credit was years more of loyalty - gone in moments. It's probably why a chain like this will probably be the next one to go belly-up, losing good customers on mindless corporate policies, applied inhumanely. They could do better.

Original Review: Not surprised this center is closing, rude manager, staff smokes outside front door also. Ridiculous what myself and other customers have been through. Received "Place Cash Rewards," to be used December 27th to January 11th, from this location. Went back Dec 27th, myself and 2 other ladies had a stack of clothes to purchase, standing in line they refused to accept their "Place Reward Cash," coupons... WHAT??? WHY??? We asked. "Because we are closing" the manager says, "You've saved enough!" WHAT?? "We just spent an HOUR shopping in your store, and you won't accept the coupons that we earned?" That's FRAUD.
All of us dropped our purchases on the counter and walked out! The deals were 50% off, the same deals at the other stores. Manager stood there, not talking or caring in any way. You would think if they are closing they would want to move the merchandise. Called the head office and some district manager finally called back a week later and he was rude, I couldn't believe it, he said "that location is closing, what do you want me to do!" Called back to their head office and waited for a manager for 3 hours, finally got someone who said they would have a person call me who was in charge of Canada Children's Place. Week later no call. No one cares, called again yesterday, as I believe this is so wrong and unfair to customers. This time they promised me someone would call me back within 24 hours! No call. So I am now telling others of this experience.
IT IS FRAUD. To promise the use of a future coupon with a current purchase, and then not accept that coupon is considered fraud to profit that person/company. I spent an hour shopping there in good faith to be treated badly by staff and then by a district manager. They handed these coupons out, so they were participating in the program. I have tried to avoid this location because of the rude staff, by reading other reviews, I see I am not the only one.

I didn't get a notification of that until ONE WEEK of me trying to contact them because I checked the order status online. I tell her to cancel the 2 pair of socks also because I didn't need them. No reply. Then I get a message on 12/6 saying they shipped ONE PAIR OF SOCKS. Waited days... Kept reaching out because I have 2 charges for each pair of socks...
On the 12/11 I get another email. The OTHER PAIR OF SOCKS shipped. The one shipped on the 6th, still no update on tracking number. I'm still emailing them and calling - nothing. Today I get an email saying they're delivered. And lovely ** Jennifer responds to ONE of my 1938338382 emails saying that according to their records my order has been delivered already. LOL. WHAT A JOKE COMPANY. Thankfully I had reached out to my bank by the 5th of December explaining why I was not to be charged for the 6.02 and after a few days got my money back. This company should just close down today, right now. Useless. Save your time and money and just go to Carter's or anywhere else but this.

Ordered 3 items 2 weeks ago. Tracking shows all 3 items shipped together. Received only 1 item in the package. Called customer service. First lady said there wasn't anything she could do. Talked to the manager she said she would email a coupon for the amount of the other 2 items. She said it would take 24 to 48 hours to get it. It's been 3 days now and haven't received any emails, tried to call and wait times are so high it hangs up. I feel like they stole my money at this point. These were Christmas presents that I now won't have time to order anywhere else.

I just hung up with the Customer Service Department after being on the phone for 2 1/2 hours!! Between the 30 minute hold times and my call escalating up the ladder I am raging! My experience started in store. I went to do some Christmas shopping and had been in there for about an hour when I found out from a fellow consumer that the website was 60% off everything no exclusions. So I went up to checkout to ask the ladies if they matched the price and was told “no sorry they don’t let us”. No big deal, right? WRONG!
I give the lady my bag and go home to get that 60% off. Everything was going just fine until I got to checkout. I get to the end and find out if I apply for a Children’s Place credit card I can get 30% off my total so I decided I better take advantage of this good deal and get some stuff for my boys (I usually shop elsewhere for them). I had a budget of $300. I get to my goal, apply for the card, and proceed to checkout. However there are two totals 1 that says estimated total $410 and another that shows my 30% off total of $270. I’ve already filled out my shipping info so I’m at the submit order screen.
I have no clue which total I’m being charged because both of them are showing and next to the submit button is NOTHING. So I pause and find a customer service number because $410 is wayyy outside of my budget and I have more shopping to do. I call customer service and they’re closed on Sundays!! Are you kidding me? How do you run an online business and you don’t have customer service available 7 days a week?! I decided to proceed with my order since I DID apply for the credit card and I already had to change out a bunch of stuff that was in my cart because it sold out before I could check out. And guess what happened after I submitted my order?! Spelled out loud and clear that I was charged $410. Where was this clarity on the previous screen?! No problem right I’ll just cancel my order and shop elsewhere, WRONG again.
After searching high and low I finally found out that once a order is submitted you can NOT cancel it!! I have to wait until my order comes in, which by looking at some of these other very recent reviews, I shouldn’t hold my breath to then go back to the same store that couldn’t match the prices and get my money back. I am livid, it is close to Christmas, and they were no help. I’m so sorry that happened. You have to use the credit card to receive that 30% off promotion. My response how am I going to use a card that I just applied for today?
Apparently there is a coupon code I was suppose to receive so that I could apply it to my order. There was NOT or else I would have applied it. Then they tell me that when I receive my card in the mail that I can apply the 30% off of my next purchase. There will NEVER be a next purchase. Have they lost their mind!! I do all of my shopping online and my kids I prefer in store shopping and I have never had a store NOT match their online prices, not have customer service available 7 days a week, or not be able to turn around and cancel my order online.

This is the 2nd time I've ordered online from this company and I am so sorry I gave them a 2nd chance. The first time I ordered online was about 2 months ago. I initially went online to buy a winter coat for my youngest daughter and ended up buying a few other items as well. 5 days after purchasing, I get an email saying the coat has been canceled from my order. Supposedly it was "unavailable". I called customer service and they couldn't give me a reason why it said it wasn't available and they offered to take $10 off so I could reorder. Eventually I received the items but shipping was beyond SLOW. I placed my 2nd order last week for some knit sweaters and long sleeved tshirts. Get an email 5 days after ordering that 3 of the 5 items I ordered were "unavailable".
I check online and the same items are still there listed as in stock. I call customer service yet again and they have no logical explanation as to why this happened. I am offered another $10 off code to resubmit the same order again. Upon going online to enter the code it doesn't give me $10 off... it somehow only deducts $6.48. At this point I'm beyond pissed and don't care to complain about the issue with the discount. I place the order and I'm done. I get an email the next day stating that my order has been canceled, AGAIN! No reason whatsoever! I am DONE wasting my time and money with this company.

I ordered three items: puffer jacket, hat and gloves. However, the package that was delivered contained a pair of boots with someone else's billing and shipping information. I have been charged for the items I ordered but not received them. I have been calling and trying to contact someone since the end of November but the call volume is so high that I have not been able to reach anyone. I sent an email to the customer service email address and received a generic message stating that I would receive a response within 48 hours. It's now been almost a month and I have not received a response from anyone. I'm not sure who has my items nor do I know what else to do. I am an avid Children's Place shopper but after this experience, I will never order from them again. It looks like my only recourse is to contact my bank and dispute the charge--EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

I wish I had read the reviews before I ever dealt with this place. First of all, like many, two items out of my Black Friday order were canceled. Ok, fine, they at least refunded my money. But then they sent me the wrong order!!! On my receipt it says I can take it to the store so I did just that but the manager there tells me there’s absolutely nothing she can do because I don’t have the correct items. Well of course I don’t because your company sent me the wrong items! That’s why I’m here! So she gives me a phone number to call but I can’t get through to a representative.

Children's Place is the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I made a purchase during their Black Friday "Spend $20, Get $20", making a purchase of over $40 worth of stuff and I have regretted it ever since. Their customer service is incompetent at best and constantly gave me made-up answers to my problems. It's like they don't even look into my account before answering my request. Half of my order was canceled 2 FULL DAYS after I ordered and they only notified me after the package shipped. So I was skimmed out of the Place cash I should have received AND the Christmas presents I had purchased. Then when I emailed to complain and at least asked for the $20 for the over $20 I spent, one customer service person told me I had gotten it already and another tried to tell me that I wasn't eligible.
When I called in they made the excuse that "it just takes time to get it." Even though I had already gotten the other Place cash for the previous order I'd made. Finally, after talking to a "manager" (who I assume was the manager because she sounded like the same woman I had been talking to) she told me I would just have to wait for December, then they would be able to "give out the Place codes" so I would just have to wait. Then to add to all of that the package never arrived and is being sent back to Children's Place, not by my request. (Thanks, USPS).
So now, I have to wait 7-10 business days for the package to arrive back at their warehouse and THEN wait another undetermined amount of time for the refund. When I called for the refund she told me they couldn't tell me how long the refund would take once they received the package. So, that's great. I don't normally post these kinds of things. But I am one person against a huge company and their customer service is a joke so it does no good to complain there. So here I am, I have to share something and let people know that if you shop at Children's Place I hope you never have a problem because you will be treated very poorly. I never want to shop there again. Seeing all these recent reviews, I'm thinking that I'm not the only one.

I placed an order during TCP’s Black Friday sale, and received it today. One of the items came with a security tag still attached, and the one item I needed for a function was not included. I called customer service and waited 10 minutes before being disconnected - TWICE! The third time, I waited about 15 minutes for a representative to answer and asked for a manager. After holding another 45 minutes, I spoke with RHAYSA (a supposed customer service supervisor) about the item that had been canceled from my order but is showing available online. After going around with her several times about their lack of customer service in this matter, I explained that the item I had ordered was for next week, and if I simply placed a new order, it would no longer arrive on time for the event.
She offered me a $20 refund for Rush Shipping, and I just needed to call back with the call reference number and the order number to receive my refund. I verified that I understood what she was offering several times, and proceeded to hang up, place my order and call back. This time I waited for a person for 45 minutes and finally spoke with SAMUEL. He said that they did not do any sort of refund, credit or anything for shipping. I explained exactly what had happened with RHAYSA, and he put me on hold for 8 minutes while he “followed the case.”
He came back and confirmed again that they do not do that. I asked him why she would say that if not and why I would wait on hold for as long as I had if that were not the case. He put me on hold for another 5 minutes or so to go check with her. He came back and confirmed that they would not be doing the refund. So, basically, the first woman I spoke with lied to me to get me off the phone. I have never been so disappointed with a company that I previously adored in all my life. All SAMUEL was able to do was cancel the new order and give me points that will eventually convert into a coupon. So disappointing.

I checked my online account this morning, 12/4 only to see that 10 of the 22 items had been cancelled and the updated order summary showed a balance of $78.00 with $0.00 in coupons applied. I called customer service and was advised that the items were not in stock. I checked the website and the sizes I ordered were still being advertised as in stock on the site.
I asked about the coupon and representative told me unfortunately the coupon could not be used again and that she could add 100 points to my account. I would have never used my $10 off coupon had I known I would just lose it. The full $118 is still pending from my account and was advised that once the remainder of the items ship, my final price would be updated, but I think it's crazy how they take your money and with disregard for items being in stock or available. It's Christmas time. Now I have to wait for the remainder of my original order to ship before I can order more things and hope that they will ship. I like services such as Amazon where no money is taken or pending until the item actually ships. This is much better for the customers.

We are a simple family. I participated in a Black Friday sales. I have a Children’s Place credit card. I have waited two days at home to make sure my package would not be stolen because it doesn’t come with the confirmation. I took time we could have been at military events. The thing that put a bad taste in my mouth when I confirmed the address of my sisters shipping address when I confirm the purchase it did not process Her address. It proceeds to come to my house. I call customer service. They tell me there’s nothing they could do that it was my mistake. That’s fine OK first problem dismissed it small qualm. Then this weekend I wasted hours of time doing things at home with the family when I could’ve been out making memories at events the kids getting to see Santa. I stayed home waiting for my package. That didn’t come. Strike two.
Strike three is canceling on order I made and not notifying me no point to contact even made note email no explanation just canceling that. It’s bad enough on my items are partially shipped it. I’m expecting like 10 different boxes or more. Not to mention the items that I bought on Cyber Monday the shipment I tried to have shipped my sister. I have family back home that is struggling. They got displaced. Their financial means is limited. My family got together and decided to take on one child each to buy items for and take care of. I bought necessities that this child needs for cold weather and one outfit so when she goes with her mother to a doctors appointment she could look nice. It is a week later they are saying they're still processing and with their words processing.
I have took those as we are determining if we’re going to cancel because we don’t know if we have a product that we sold you but we’re going to initially take back and not tell you about so you think you got everything you paid for. I did not use coupons or discounts on that purchase. Our use only Cyber Monday deals. Now on one of my purchases they decided to cancel items are not notifying me. Why am I upset? Because canceling pajamas and not notifying. Apparently that you don’t have that in you. Tell me my package arrived. I’m supposed to wait till this package gets here whenever that is. God knows when for me to find out that the items I ordered are not in the package. Even though I have an order confirmation number on top of that I now have to recalculate and budget In finding those valuable items I thought I had.
I have never had a problem with Children’s Place before. I have ordered many things from Children’s Place when using my debit card. Now that I have a credit card they have the option to cancel or do whatever they please that’s crazy. I could almost guarantee that as soon as the holidays are over I’m canceling and never purchasing again. I am displeased to the fullest. And of course they do this and they revoked a lot of the double earning. The cash yeah I bought stuff on double earn days pretty much got one as I would normally. Not pleased. I don’t like the online store whatsoever. As of now that was my last purchase. I will continue to buy in store so I know the item I need will be there. As someone who’s been shopping with Children’s Place online often on since my daughter was born 11 years ago I am certainly displeased how this is changed.
My daughters coat that I ordered two days ago is still pending as well so gotta re-analyze and re-budget my books and get my daughter a coat from someplace else. Products are great most the time. Customer service ** you can’t talk to anybody unless it’s during their time zone and when you do talk to someone they give you a run around. When I order something online and I get order confirmation to me that is a contract of guarantee that Item will be shipped to me. Not that they will pick and choose who gets what and they will cancel your order without notifying you so you’re gonna wait for a package that probably will never come. As someone who worked in retail this is the most shoddy job I’ve ever seen but I won’t hold it against the retail stores that I shop at because they tend to be on their stuff most days. This is strictly about online order purchases cancellations customer service.
The only reason I got the credit card is the ease of purchasing online and the less likelihood that my debit card would be compromised making a purchase. On that note thank you for throwing my budget off. On top of I don’t know if my family members child who I said I would cover for Christmas will have their stuff on Christmas Day. Simply sad. Even if I was to pay the most expensive shipping I probably wouldn’t have said items. Seven days I’m willing to wait. It should be here about this time but I am still waiting to find out what’s going on with my niece's clothes. Not acceptable. Are currently making cancellations on items that you do you use your $10 Children’s Place on cash on. Don’t bother you want it go in and get it.
Online orders are not taken seriously and they don’t keep stock of warehouse items. As sad as it is I lost out on a lot of deals from stores like Justice and Old Navy because I took The confirmation of purchase seriously. They need to either update their system, get rid of people that don’t track that items properly. There’s a lot of rehaul they need to do to fix this problem. This is not a small problem I am not the only one upset about this. I mean I can personally say the sales associates at the stores are a lot more responsible than the online shopping. You want your stuff go buy it at the store. Don’t go online shopping. You will get either ripped off or a guarantee of nothing because they cancel the order.

I recently got a credit card with The Children's Place and bought clothes for my children for this winter. They gave me a 40% discount for my purchase. Next thing I see is that they canceled 6 items from my order without emailing me about it. I called to see why they canceled those 6 items and the lady from customer support told me that the reason why they had canceled them was because they gave me too much discount. And then she changed everything to telling me that the things were out of stock and I told her that I still see them in stock. She then said they were going to reward me with place cash and that I could go ahead and order the canceled items again. So stupid me did and they canceled 2 more items. Can anyone guess why. Because out of 100 dollars I bought I used 50 dollars place cash so that was too much discount. I going to wait for the items to arrive and return everything and cancel the credit.
