    Recently purchased Christmas Sleepers (4 in total) totaling 52.48 Canadian and returned all 4 back to the store. The store returns 52.40 and I am short 8 cents. I know it's not much but why should I give 8 cents for a company that didn't give me anything in return. Just like that if they do to million customers they just made money not doing anything? Store located at Pickering Town Center in Ontario CANADA said to call 1877 827 7895 as they are not able to return the money paid in the original order.

    I was in the store last weekend looking for some winter clothes and shoes for my kids. I reached up for one of the boys hanging shoes (that is hanging on the wall) with my five year old son next to me, next thing I know I hear someone say, "EXCUSE ME", very loud. Before I had a chance to get down from my tippy toes (since I was in the middle of reaching for the shoes), this employee shoves me against the wall. I turned around to her and said, "Excuse me, you could have given me a minute." She continued walking to stock room without even looking at me and said, "I said excuse me and you didn't move!" My son asked me why she pushed me. I could not believe a store employee did this. Is this the kind of employee that Children's Place wants to have represent them?? WOW.

    After speaking to 5 client reps and 2 supervisors nothing was done to satisfy a good client who buys from this store twice every 2 months. I am beyond dissatisfied with the corporate office and also the customer service number. Especially with the Washington Heights store in NYC. The manager should not manage a store if they cannot deal with a simple issue like mines. I will definitely share my experience with all my friends and family and create a telephone chain so everyone is aware. Too much to detail here but this company makes too much money to not be able to hire managers that are unqualified for retail.

    So on 11-15-18 I went online to get my kids some winter items with the change of weather coming about. I was very excited to do so in the beginning stages of this process. I placed my order like normal a total of 40 items, right after I got an email saying that one of the items had been canceled with no explanation of why this item was canceled. I thought to myself well maybe this one item may have been out of stock and the website was not yet updated. No biggie.

    On the morning of the 19th I hadn't received any email or texts alerts about shipment of my $340.00 order, so I go online to find out that my entire order (ALL 39 ITEMS) had been canceled with no explanation, no notifications nothing! I contacted the customer service department which told me that because my shipping address does not match my billing address my order was canceled which is the craziest thing I have ever heard of, my billing address is to my home where I live and I put the shipping address as my mom's address because I am not at home during the day.

    What if I have a family member out of town I want to ship items to as a gift, especially with the holidays approaching. I am sure this isn't a far-fetched concept. Keep in mind it's the week of Thanksgiving which means it's going to take forever to get my money returned to my card. This was my 1st and most definitely my LAST experience with The Children's Place!!! The customer service lady I spoke to was no help and kind of on the rude side. I'm sure someone with the company somewhere reads these reviews, I would like to be contacted about my experience at **.

    I placed an order for gift card online from The Children's Place and they sent me the wrong one. And then I called to let them know that they sent me the wrong one and that there was nothing they could do. I would have to drive into a different Children's Place and have the amount transfer to the card that I wanted. Now I have to waste my time and my gas to drive into The Children's Place to get a new gift card that they screwed up on.

    I was first told that the amount was why the card was not the one I wanted and then she hung up on me. I had to call back and talk to a guy and he said that their support team said there was nothing they could do about it. Well why didn't their support team call me in the first place or email me to tell me that that card can't have $25 on it. I don't know what is wrong with people but I'm pretty sure people do not have brains anymore. Waste of my time and the support team told me to go to the mall to have the money transferred so I just called them and she said she didn't know if they could even do that. Omg this place is a ** mess and whatever happened to customer service? They made the mistake and they should fix it.

    DO NOT ORDER FROM CHILDREN'S PLACE ONLINE!!! So I ordered a coat for my daughter online from The Children's Place. They sent me a confirmation of my order and took my money. A couple of hours later they emailed me saying my order was canceled but didn't return my money. I called and someone I couldn't understand said it'll take 10 business days for a refund. No more business from me and I get 95% of my child's items from this store. Going to dispute it. This is ridiculous!

    I have written two emails, asked for help and nobody has been able to give me a solution. I buy at least two to three times a year in the online store but this time I do not accept the security code of my card. I have tried to make the payment with other cards and it does not allow it either. The service and help they provide to the client and the interest that they give to their needs are very bad.

    So called managers, Keyanna and Dominique, were the worst. Laughing at customers in their face, these young women talked about everything outside of The Children's Place but giving good customer service was not on their agenda. I am a business owner and these girls "couldn't" have lasted more than a week in my world with the attitudes they BOTH had. It was literally ridiculous. Miss Keyanna refused to give me my receipt but I demanded I get a picture of it. Miss Keyanna folded the receipt back so I couldn't get a picture of the barcode, FOR THE PURCHASE I MADE. I took the items I paid for back to the store to get a refund because I wanted to get something else, not the items I exchanged because I understood the rules.

    Miss Dominique raised her voice in front of other customers to tell me because I didn't have my receipt I couldn't get a refund/exchange my items. I explained and reminded her, she was there when Miss Keyanna Refused to give me my receipt and I showed her the picture I took. Miss Dominique said because the barcode was not shown there was nothing she could do. I explained, it's not my fault because Miss Keyanna folded the receipt so I could not take a picture of the barcode. Miss Dominique, with voice raised said there was nothing she could do. I left the store and came back in the store to hear Miss Keyanna and Miss Dominique discussing the matter with each other and customers that wasn't involved. The worst customer service ever. I work in the healthcare field, what if I was taking care of them with a bad attitude???

    I purchase a lot of clothes for my children at this store. Both online and in-store. So much that I have a store card. Well recently I made a last minute purchase for my nephew's birthday and paid for expedited delivery to make sure I got it in time. UPS changed the delivery date so that it would be delivered late. I called UPS and they said I need to call The Children's Place. When I called The Children's Place, of course no one is American and can comprehend what I was saying. In the end, they refused to refund even half of the shipping charges. They just lost my business for good! Horrible!!!

    I went to the store that is located Tri-county mall in Springdale Ohio. I buy a jacket for my son less than 2 weeks ago. The lady who sold me the item in the store tell me, "If it doesn't fit you can bringing back and we can exchanged for a different size!!!" Because I wasn't sure if that jacket will fit my son so she said, "Don't worry bringing back if it doesn't fit." I was like, "Ok then."

    Today I went to the store to exchange the jacket for a different size. I don't even ask for a refund and then I notice that the manager show up to the register and start to smell the jacket! Then he get close to me and said, "Excuse me. I can't exchange this item because the tag is not attached to the jacket!" I said, "It fall off when my son tried that on! But the tag was inside of the bag." The only thing it fails was the paper tag even the other thing was hanging on the jacket and the guy who supposes to be the store manager said, "I'm sorry Children's Place polices."

    I was like, "For real?" and he was very smart answering like, "Yes I can exchanged or refund." I was like, "I don't even ask for a refund. I was asking for something will fit my son" and he was like, "I can't do anything" and then I ask him, "So you have to smell all people's items when they return something??" So he said no!!! I was like, "I just saw you smelling the jacket" and he was like, "I have to make sure that is not worth but that is not the reason that I'm going to exchange your item".

    So I was like, "You couldn't find a reason so your finding excused to not to exchange the jacket? I have my receipt with me. It was less than 2 weeks when I bought it is not worth so why you're refusing?" He was like, "I just can't. I get so upset and was, "You racist!!!" And he said, "You have to leave the store." I have my two kids with me and he ask me to leave the store. My daughter told me, "Why that man is so mean." I'm never going to buy anything to this store anymore. That was a horrible experience.

    Their return policy is terrible, without a receipt you cannot return anything. Even with a receipt they would not return the boots I bought for my daughter because it was 2 days past the 30-day return policy, they would not even let me exchange them for a different pair or in-store credit. I will not be shopping there anymore and canceled my credit card with them as well.

    I don't think I have ever written a negative review before but my experience merits it. Children's Place made some kind of error in filling or shipping my order. It took me three weeks and numerous exchanges with Customer service via their online e-mail process and by phone to finally get a refund for an order that never shipped even though they had sent an email informing me it had shipped. UPS showed it had not shipped, and Customer Service agreed it had not shipped when I first wrote to them. Despite acknowledging the order had not shipped, Customer Service repeatedly told me they would get back to me in 24-48 hours, or 2 business days, each time providing absolutely no information or help on the issue. I did FINALLY get a refund, thankfully, after getting very insistent on the phone. The entire experience was infuriating and unprofessional, and I will certainly never order or purchase anything from Children's Place again.

    I recently ordered a winter coat for my niece. The order was delivered within the time frame suggested at time of purchase, but instead of receiving a winter coat, size 16, I received a pair of baby shoes, size 6 months. Funny thing was that the receipt in the delivery box was for the coat. Called customer service and was told they couldn't re-ship the coat, that I'd have to get a refund that would take 7-10 days to be issued and then reorder the item. What kind of refund takes 7-10 days, especially when it was the error of the shipping department?! They did however say I could keep the shoes for my inconvenience, but what am I supposed to do with a pair of size 6 months shoes? This was my first and last time ordering online from this company. They really need to change their online shipping and refund policy.

    I bought 3 gift cards for 100.00 each a week and a half ago from The Children’s Place. I gave the guy a 300.00 check in which they’ve cashed. My daughter went to buy my Granddaughter things from this store for her Birthday. She called me and told me that the cashier told her that there was a 0 balance on the card. Well, I ran up there with the receipt and she calls the manager to tell her this. And the manager tells the cashier that it’s her day off and did nothing about this issue. The cashier said that she sees that the card was not used but it was activated for 100.00 dollars. She made several calls because she didn’t know what to do. So someone told her to call customer service. Ok, she calls customer service and we are on hold for 45 mins...

    Now I’m getting impatient. Someone finally picks up and said it would take 3-5 days to investigate. My daughter had a bag full of things for my Granddaughter that they put aside. I go home and checked the other 2 cards that I was saving for Christmas and called the back of card to check the balances. THEY ALSO HAD 0 BALANCE on them. I ran back to the store and was beside myself telling them that the other 2 cards were also saying 0 balances. They couldn’t believe it. Nor could I. I called out local Police Dept. and had them come to The Children’s Place. When they arrived I explained the whole story. I wanted them to put all of this on record. That they cashed my 300.00 check and there were 0 balances on each 100.00 card... Now, I am stuck, waiting 3-5 bus. days for them to investigate their mistake. I will never shop at The Children’s Place for my Granddaughters ever again. This was at the Turnersville NJ store. I'M DONE WITH THEM...

    I have been shopping at The Children's Place for about 9 years now & never had any problems until my last order. I purchased 2 sweaters for my granddaughter & used My Place Rewards. It took about 4 days to tell me that part of my order was cancelled with no explanation. Since they cancelled the sweater I really wanted I sent them an email asking why it was cancelled & if I could get it in another color & still use My Place Rewards. Another 4 days later I received an email that stated it was out of stock & that someone may have returned one & nothing about getting my reward back to use on a sweater they do have in stock (which they are still showing it in stock online). Needless to say, they screwed me out of my points with no explanation as to why. I don't know if they have new people running the place or what but I'm done with The Children's Place.

The email I got with the cancellation stated that my card was not charged. However when I check with my bank the card was charged TWICE!! and the payment went through.

    When I contacted them again about how they LIED to me about my card not being charge, they told me it was just an authorization hold, and I will have to wait 5 days before I will see the funds in my account.

    I have been a customer of Children's Place since 2011. Never really...having to return things, maybe once or twice. I purchased back to school winter clothes for my son on 8/26/18, all items were simply too big. All tags still on, kept the one shirt he wore cause it would be wrong to try and return that. Went into the Moorestown Mall Location in NJ and ask to return them so we could repurchase other items that fit. All items being returned were still on the shelves by the way and at the same prices I paid. Was denied my return/exchange because it was over 45 days.

    Mind you, it was 52 days since purchase. So now I am stuck with clothes my son cannot use. Let me also mention that the Manager of the store was arrogant, sarcastic and rude. Her name is Jaritza. So I am aware that I am a small fish in a large pond. I have spent thousands over the years and the store and the customer service hotline deemed my maybe $120 worth of exchanges not worth keeping my business. I have not received a call back from the resolution team so my husband told me to close our account which I am doing today. This interaction sent my husband and I over to Old Navy, where we needed to exchanged two pairs of sweatpants also purchased on the same date as the children’s place items and with the same return policy of Children’s Place.

    As a courtesy after review my history of purchases with them they did the exchange because I wasn't a serial returner. So let me give a shout out to Old Navy who treated me like a valued customer, exchanged two pairs of sweats and gained an additional $291 in profit because they treated me like a valued customer. Very disappointed in the outcome and will not shop at Children's Place n the future and instruct family members who always get him gifts from there to go to Old Navy, it will be our preferred children’s clothing store moving forward.

    This store gave me worst shopping online experience. I made an order on Sept 30th. It was suppose to be delivered on Saturday the 6th. It was never delivered. When I tracked it it said it was delivered. I call the UPS. They said the sender used 2 carrier so I have to call sender. So I called children's store on the 8th. They told me they will reship and I will get a confirmation with tracking within the next 3 days. 3 days later, nothing. I called again they say they have no update from the warehouse, it's taking a bit longer than usual.

    Called again today, they still have no response for me. The guy said it take 7-14 days for the warehouse to send them shipping info for a reshipment. Wow so CRAZY. That's really unfair. If I order something, it's because I need it. So why they think it's okay to just keep for as long they want. My son is grown out of his clothes.

    As a store that caters to children (and parents that purchase their clothes), should be aware of how difficult it is to buy clothes that fit constantly growing children. My mother purchased a couple of hundred dollars worth of school uniforms for my kids as a gift. The regular sizes at The Children's Place no longer fit my son and I wanted to exchange the regular sizes for husky sizes. The clothes were recently purchased, never worn and still had tickets attached, but when I called the customer service department, I was told this exchange would not be allowed because I didn't have the receipt.

She said for my inconvenience they will be sending me out a $100 voucher. All they needed was my name, address, and the number of my credit card.

    I asked why would they did my credit card number to send me out a free voucher against my better judgement I did, but quickly realize this was a scam and they were playing like they were the Children's Place technical support. I called my bank immediately to close out my card and to issue you me a new one. They already within minutes did a test run by taking our $2.99 and refunding it. They have Mexicans names and accents. Do not call this number. It is not affiliated with TCP. TCP needs to update their technical support number ASAP!!

    Shopped online at Children's Place. Woke up to massive fraudulent transactions on my bank account. They have a massive cybersecurity issue. Many people are reporting the same problem. I did not shop anywhere else and didn't even leave my house. This is a big company and there is no excuse for the lack of their cybersecurity. Especially when reports were coming in days before I shopped with them. Their customer service agent says there is no protocol for this type of issue, just to report it to corporate. That is a shame!

    I have a pretty good limit however my available says $0.00. I just realized that my June payment never went through which hurt in the long run and I was a day late this time around. All my other payments have been on time. This is one of my favorite stores to shop at for my child and other family members. But the ridiculous amount of charge for a late payment. (The highest I ever seen). Never saw a $25 dollar late fee in my life plus now I will be getting another one because I lost track of a day.

    Shame on you Children's Place! I placed an order on 5/28 and the order shipped on 5/30. I saw the authorization come out of my account and thought everything was fine. 2 days ago I get a call from the bank suspecting fraudulent activity on my account. They ask have I shopped at The Children's place in the last week and I told them no! The bank placed a block on my card and I had to pay $35 for a new card to be expedited to me. I began to search my email to see when was the last time I shopped at Children's Place and found the transaction from 5/28. I think no way they've charged me twice! I call the bank back and they tell me they saw the authorization on 5/28 but the final charge didn't come through.

    I called Children's Place to be told, “I'm sorry we had a problem with our system on 5/28 and was just now able to process the charge.” Almost 30 days later!!! You've got to be kidding me! I completely understand having a glitch and things happening but how about a heads up before you go into someone's account almost 30 days later. You could have sent an email, a letter in the mail, or even a phone call. Especially seeing as I'm not the only person but all transactions from 5/28. I will never shop with The Children's Place again! Buyer beware! You give your card information and they will take funds at will and you would never know!

    I have been an avid fan of The Children's Place since the store opened years ago. I have their credit card and 6 grandchildren. I bought bags of summer clothing. One skirt I bought in multiple colors all size 14. The black skirt however is about a size 4. The label in the skirt stamped by the maker says size 14. This is clearly wrong and if you hold this skirt up to any of the other size 14 same style you can see it's 1/2 the size. Well I have my receipt, my CC, the original bag but the ticket was in my hand as we detached it from the skirt thinking it's a size 14.

    Amber the Assistant Manager on duty 5/28 stood there stone faced and said "this is not the tag from the skirt". She never looked down at the tag. I then got the size 14 black skirt from a rack to show her it's a manufacturer's defect labeling it the wrong size. She stated "that's a different skirt". It was not. She never looked at the two skirts. She stood there stone faced reciting me the tag not on the skirt. As an assistant manager I would expect she would know what a manufacturer's defect was and she surely would have treated me nicer. She had no customer service skills, she didn't try to solve the problem. She stood there like I am the boss! She was awful.

    I then asked to be direct to the District Manager so Amber handed me the customer service card kept on top of the computer (maybe they use a lot of these). I called customer service and I am now awaiting to hear from a manager. I would hate to stop shopping at this store as I love the items and price. The Children's Place should hold a customer service seminar because this woman was way out of line. She had no customer service at all. I will write back once I hear from the corporate office.

    I asked if I could be reimbursed with a gift card or something and she said the only thing she could do is give me place points which would expire within 48 hours and would only be equivalent to $10 off of my order which mind you I can find the same “coupon” on any website like “retail me not" or Groupon.

    Generally speaking, I love Children's Place. Their clothes are trendy and affordable. I love the Place Cash. However, I went to return some items today and the employees told me I could not because I did not have a receipt and the items were not in stock at the store. I would have gladly taken a gift receipt and spent the money in the store. I asked the girl if she would be able to order a different size for me online, and she said they did not have that option.

    I cannot support a store that will not take back its own merchandise. There are many, many other places to shop with equally good clothing and pricing that have favorable return policies. Kids grow fast after all! I will no longer give or accept gifts from here, as I would hate for myself or others to be out of money. I've already shared with family and friends to be aware of this. Unfortunately, one small detail has ruined my opinion of a brand I once loved.

I can’t help that my wallet was stolen and new account numbers were issued.

    I ask if they spoke to my bank and the bank gave verbal approval, can they manually take care of it. The bank can also validate that my card was stolen.

Worse yet to tell a customer that they can't cancel an order that was just placed and still in processing.

THEY tried to cheat me out of merchandise I paid for and then were not willing to correct their mistakes and make it right. I will be closing my card and unfortunately never shop there again. I have no idea how they've managed to stay in business this long and the retail industry as it is cannot afford to lose customers. Wow!

    Ordered 3 pair of 6 slim jeans due to the store do not sale slim sizes. Was excited when package arrived but the package seemed too lightweight for 3 pair of jeans. There were 3 toboggans hats. Customer service is a joke. They immediately emailed me free shipping with UPS to return their merchandise. I was informed I should receive my jeans next week. I asked for express shipping since it was their error. Children Place is history. No store, no online no use of place card. Corporate do not take customer call. They don't even list a number. I will return jeans and hats in the same bag. Bad service. Most workers you can't even understand what they are saying. Bad service.

    All I can say is there was a sale and I FILLED my cart with 80+ items and went to check out and none were there. I'm livid, it took me over hour half because my daughter wanted some things she saw from there, otherwise I know their quality isn't my usual GAP, etc. Ironic the site is down for the sale(?!) I'd like to be compensated as I was about to drop prob a grand with them, but their loss. I'd appreciate a % off, if you want to make up some money, you'd be smart to do it! All these people deserve this deceitful behavior on their "sale times." Very upset. Wasted a good hours half piling in items. Ugh.

    I've shopped at the Children's Place for years, since my kids were little. I've always loved their clothes so I'm really, really disappointed about this - I shopped at one of their stores on Labor Day (almost 2 weeks ago) to do some school shopping and there was a glitch with their computer while I was paying for my transaction. My account was charged twice - once I realized this, (later that day) I contacted the store and was told by a manager that I just had to wait 2-3 days and the money would be back in my account. If not, I should call customer service.

    My money wasn't refunded so I called customer service and was told to wait another couple of days and my money should be back. They said the manager should have put in a request for me but there was no record of it. So I asked them to put in a request for me (I had to actually ask them to) and then was told it'd be another 3-5 days. 3-5 days later my money still wasn't refunded. Mind you, I just wanted the additional charge that was taken out of my account to be returned. I wasn't asking for anything extra, just for what was mine to be returned. So I called again and asked what I had to do to get my money back.

    I was told that they were looking into it and I'd get an email by the end of the day telling me what they found out. I asked what my next step should be to get my money returned if they didn't email me. The woman at the call center assured me that if they said they'd email me they would. Ok, that's great, I was looking forward to finding out when I'd get my money back. No email. At this point I'm really frustrated but am trying not to take it out on anyone, I just want my money back. It was enough that it affected my account and I just want it back. So I called their customer service again and was told that they had decided they didn't actually charge me twice and if I still had a problem with it I had to speak with my bank. Seriously? I have proof that this happened, and I'd be happy to share it if that helps. So I call my bank and they verify that yes, I was charged twice by The Children's Place. And no, the extra charge hasn't been refunded.

    I just can't believe that they won't return my money. I'm genuinely surprised that they don't have a simpler and more honest way of correcting a mistake like this. Were they hoping I'd just give up? I don't know but now I have to wait another 10 business days to get my money back. And it's sad because half of my kids' clothes are from The Children's Place. I know I'm just one customer and that my business isn't going to make or break them but come on, just do the right thing.

    Purchasing online with this company seems simple enough until your order is incorrect and then I have to say -- good luck! The toll free phone number provided is constantly a 30 minute wait time so I don't believe they have many employees manning the phones. There is an option to email your issue to them and I tried that, provided order number and specifics. Received an immediate canned response thanking me for my email and stating I would receive a resolution within 5 business days. 15 days went by before I called and endured the 30 minute wait. Finally spoke to a representative from another country and she promised to credit the account. I'm not confident this will be done.

    ADDITIONALLY: When I placed original order I earned "place cash" entitling me to $10 off $20 purchase and I could use up to 6 coupons. I attempted to place my order and all went well - even discounts were showing UNTIL I continued to confirm/pay for the order. At that point A big banner came up stating their site was down for maintenance. Convenient that this happened on the last day I could use my coupons, don't you think?

    I'll admit The Children's Place has some pricey clothing especially when your child grows so fast and seasons always changing. Your children never really has time to wear out how much money you actually invest in the clothing. That's why I choose to shop when they have deals going on. It's the ONLY time to shop there, well recently I received an email with a killer back-to-school sale. I decided to check out their online website and make a purchase. Now before I go into details I'm just gonna say it's better to shop in the actual store so you can know exactly what you're getting and see the quality of what you're getting. Well the deal was online ONLY and so I decided to go ahead and take my chances online. I proceeded to go to my cart, I hit checkout through my PayPal account and BAM! order finished! I didn't get a chance to confirm my home address, my billing address, nothing!!

    They pulled my old address from my PayPal and auto filled the address on my children's Place account. I have never had a website do this before! I immediately called customer service to fix this issue. Now It's about 2am and the voice Machine says they will reopen at 9am. I didn't want my order to be processed and shipped to the wrong address, so I called technical support, the wait time took 45mins!!! Like who the hell is also calling children's Place technical support at 3am? By the way It turns out your wait is almost an hour long no matter what time of the day you call. Anyway, Every customer representative is an Indian woman! Not trying to be rude, but they are very hard to understand and feel they do not sympathize with your problems, they are almost robotic if you will. I explained my issue and she proceeds to tell me I'm the lucky caller and won a $25 gift card!

    I'm confused because I have a problem here that she is not attending to it. She keeps putting me on hold, transferring me to other Indian women who seem to have no idea how to help me so they keep passing me around like playing a game of hot potato. After an hour of repeating my problem to several different representatives they disconnect me, I didn't understand why I was hung up on? I was cooperating, I didn't raise my voice, I just wanted my problem fixed! I immediately called back and my phone would automatically hang up as if they were on the other side declining my call after one ring. I was so upset after trying multiple times of not being picked up. I waited and called at 9am. After another 45min wait, another Indian women answers. I again explain the situation on how my address is not correct on my order and I need it changed before it's processed and shipped.

    She puts me on hold for another 30 mins and says, "Sorry, there's nothing I can do for you once you submit your order." I explain, "So what!? My order ships to my old address and I'm out my money?!" She claims she will hurry and leave a note on my order that says to cancel it and should receive an cancellation email in 30-60 mins and then proceeds to put me on hold and then hangs up. Annoyed I wait for the email and nothing!!! Fed up, I called PayPal and asked them to see if they can decline the funds for the order. I also explained it was being shipped to the wrong address. They seemed helpful and said after the phone call they will do everything in their power after we hang up to contact the merchant.

    Several hours later I get a cancellation email on my order from children's Place but they kept my money? I still have yet to be refunded my money!! Or heard any word on that supposed $25 gift card "I won". This is by far the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER DEALT WITH IN HISTORY!! I literally made this account to write this review!! I hope children's Place will one day see these reviews and help better their customer relations. I will shop elsewhere in the future. Be very cautious of this company, from reading other reviews they almost seem fraudulent!

    The Children's Place in Canada has awful customer service! DO NOT shop at Children's Place. They have extremely horrible reviews and very bad quality clothing as well. Recently, I accidentally purchased 2 exact t-shirts for my son from 2 different purchases. I had already thrown away the store receipt when I realized that I have 2 of the same shirt for my child. I visited the store to explain to the staff that I do not have the receipt but the shirts still has all the tags intact. I asked if I can kindly exchange one of the shirt I purchased for another shirt in store... Same style just a different graphics on the shirt so that my son doesn't end up having 2 of the same shirt. I was told "NO" so I asked for the customer service phone #. She wrote it down with her name and said, "You're wasting your time calling". I sent an email to Children's Place and it's been almost 2 weeks and still haven't heard from them.

    So I went back to visit the store hoping I can speak to the store manager and see if she can help. She also said to me that she cannot help me so I called the customer service phone number. The total wait time and trying to get hold of a live rep took me 45 mins. I finally spoke to a lady and I couldn't understand a word she's saying. I had to explain several times over and over my issue and at the end she told me she cannot help me without a receipt. I ask her if someone else with higher authority can help me and her exact words to me was, "I do not have the authority to connect with you someone else". This experience was very upsetting because all I wanted was to exchange a same style t-shirt for another. I wasn't even asking for a completely different shirt and their Children's Place brand name is printed on the shirts so it's not like I purchase the shirt elsewhere and trying to exchange it at their store.

    After 2 weeks of trying to get my problem resolve via email, phone calls and in-store visits, I'm still unable to get help. The staff are rude, unhelpful and clearly does not care about their customers. I even ask the rep on the phone if they don't care about their customers going elsewhere to shop and she said to me, "Then, that would be your choice ma'am". DO NOT shop at Children's Place.

    Worst experience with the customer service. The Contact Us number has a minimum 25-30 min wait time no matter what time or day you call in. The customer service agents are not able to resolve the issue on the spot. All they will do is escalate and moreover the customer doesn't have any visibility over the escalations. No emails confirmation, No progress details, No update. The only way to know the updates is call back in on the contact us hotline and wait for at least 30 min to talk to an agent. Worst Customer service ever in this age, where things should move faster with all the technology in place. These guys have a definite looong way to go to be at par with their competitors.

    I had purchased a gift card, which was misplaced. All I requested is to cancel the gift card purchased and issue a new one. It is over 60 days now and I am still waiting for the gift card to arrive in mail. And for this request to be processed I had to call in 4 times be on a minimum 30min wait and hear the rep response that my request is escalated and there are no updates yet. Finally, I think I have already given up on my $50 gift card. I don't have the patience and the time anymore for another 30 min wait call. Worst experience!

    I want to start by saying I actually created an account just so I could post this review. I've never spent time reviewing a place even if I did have a bad experience but my God Children’s Place is next level. So, I tried ordering on their website when they were having promotions going on (always too expensive otherwise) and none of my credit cards were working, so I figured it’s a glitch on their website and called, they couldn’t help me. So, I bought an e-gift card to place the order and it didn’t come with a pin. Called them and they said it’s sold from a third-party seller so they can’t do anything about it. Called the website and they said it’s how its sold to them so call Children’s Place back.

    So I’m calling back and forth for a few days (on the phone all day for 5 consecutive days) and they say, “for all the trouble here’s a promo code and call back when you place the order, whenever that may be, and we'll offer you a price adjustment and honour the prices that were going on when I wanted to order but wasn’t able to”. So finally today call again and they tell me, “okay we've sent out another card by mail this time but it'll take 4-6 weeks”!! I'm like, “well that’s too long, I'll just buy another card and I’m ready to order, can you offer the price adjustment”, and she said no! They conveniently couldn’t find that offer in their notes!! And she proceeds to tell me that the promo code was in replacement of the price adjustment. I tell her we'll take back the code, I just want the price adjustment, and she said no. So I told her I won’t be ordering and giving them a very bad review.

    I really wish I had just listened to the reviews here so I could’ve saved myself all of this headache and all the wasted time. Please do not buy from them. And to top all of this, I called my local Children’s Place and the manager said she would give me a price adjustment and I went in and took a good 45 minutes picking everything out and figuring out sizes and such, and at the end of it all she totaled double what it was in my cart and said that’s the best she could do, so not a price adjustment at all either! I'm never buying from them again. And if you’re smart, you won’t either!

I have spent so much money at Children's Place throughout the years. No more. They lost a customer for good and with that policy could probably care less. There are ways for retailers to control people that abuse returns without receipts by their membership numbers or drivers license numbers.

    I am appalled at the terrible customer service provided by The Children's Place. After my situation I decided to Google, "The Children's Place reviews" only to find a smothering amount of horrific reviews so decided I must add mine... I ordered some baby clothing items for my brother's newborn in Alaska. When I went to check out I noticed the outrageous shipping amount of $15 but against my better judgment, removed all but 2 items from my cart to make it affordable enough and checked out.

    I received my confirmation email stating it was a 2nd day air delivery. Why that was my only option aside from next day air for $25 is beyond me when many other stores offer standard or free shipping to AK. Well, I had a second email in regards to my order. It stated that only 1 item had shipped because the 2nd item was not in stock and that they do not fill back orders! They did not charge me for the unshipped item but they never contacted me to let me know prior to see what I would like to do, or that it happened in general. So, I paid $15 for 1 item to be shipped.

    I called that day to speak to customer service and waited over 20 minutes on hold before I had to end the call because I am a mother of 2 small children. The second day, today, decided to call again to get this sorted out and waited 45 minutes with no answer. I had to once again end the call to tend to my 5 month old.

The manager could have done an exchange as a courtesy for standing online for an hour with my 4-yr old son.

    I purchased a couple of outfits for my daughter for Christmas at The Children's Place in Kingsway Garden Mall, Edmonton. I have purchased quite a bit of clothing there for my daughter over the years when they have sales otherwise I can't afford it. When I got home I realized that the saleslady had left a security tag on one of the hoodies, (no alarms went off as I left the store). I called them the next day to let them know and see if there was something they could do about this. They told me the only thing they could do was if I went back into the store and they would remove the tag for me. However I live 180 km away from Edmonton and I am not going into the city again anytime soon especially not before Christmas so I asked if I could have a new hoodie sent to me and a return shipping label and I would send this one back to them.

    The lady at the store said that they would not be able to do that but that customer service might and gave me the phone number. I then proceeded to call customer service. The person I spoke with said that there was nothing they could do but have me drive all the way back to Edmonton (almost 2 hour drive one way) to the store I purchased it from to have them remove the tag. I explained that I did not live in the city and how far away it was and I was not going to be able to make another trip in. I then asked them if I could have a new one sent and I would send this one back. They put me on hold and apparently asked someone else then came back on the phone and told me there was nothing else they could do, so I then asked if they would be paying for my fuel for my vehicle and km as it would be wear and tear on my vehicle as well as 4 hours out of my day.

    I was then told again that me returning to the store was all they could do, so I then asked if I could speak with the manager. When the next person came onto the phone I found out that they were only a supervisor not a manager so I first apologized to them if I was raising my voice and explained to them I realized that this was just their job but that I was getting very frustrated with the whole thing and needed this matter fixed. I then had to explain the whole thing to them again and asked if I could have the hoodie sent to me. They again put me on hold to apparently consult with someone else then came back on the line with a new solution. I pay to send the hoodie into them and they would send the new one out to me and then they would reimburse me for the shipping.

    I then explained I not only did not have the money for the shipping but that by the time they received this one and then sent the new one out it would not be here in time for Christmas and that this was their fault this all happened in the first place and I should not have to go through all this just to get the hoodie. I was put on hold once again and then told if I could not do that then there was nothing more they could do. So again asked if I could please speak with the manager. I was put on hold again or so I thought to only realize that they had hung up on me! I was so angry I had been on the phone for over an hour and then to be hung up on. I had no time to call them back as I had to go to work. I am so disgusted with the service I receive that I am telling everyone I know and putting this on here as well as anywhere else I can so that other people can see what kind of service to expect when having an issue with this retailer.

    I recently had a baby so of course people had bought us gifts for her. Unfortunately one of the presents bought we didn't get a gift receipt for it. The item bought wasn't something I had really liked and it was also short sleeve. It's too cold right now to put anything short on my baby, so rather than just letting it sit there I went to exchange it for something I can put on her. I chose what I wanted and after waiting forever on line got to the register to only be told I can't do the exchange because I don't have a receipt. I would have to exchange the dress for a different size.

    I explained it was a gift, I didn't get a gift receipt from the person that bought it and why should I be forced by the store to put something on my child that I don't like. So now I'm stuck with a dress that my daughter will never wear. I've never experienced this in any other store, all I did was provide an ID and no problem. Children's place return policy really sucks and the quality of clothing isn't even what it used to be. Definitely will not be shopping in Children's Place!!!

    I recently tried to make a debit purchase in store. For years, I have struggled with the large screened terminals in the Canadian stores; they are touch insensitive which means you have to enter your PIN number without protecting it; anyone behind you can see it as you enter it and (as has been known to happen) if there is ceiling camera, it can be easily read from up there. A good friend had her card number viewed that way and without having her card taken, money was removed from her account in Russia!

    When I tried to cover up my PIN while entering it yesterday, the touch insensitive screen made it difficult to enter the correct number. I tried twice and then the terminal warned me that I had one time left and before allowing me to enter it again kicked me out of the terminal and left me without the use of my debit card over the weekend! The clerks were clueless and asked me to use another card (Losing my Visa card in the same way was a great option!). I left WITHOUT making a purchase!!! I did go to the children's GAP and made all my purchases there instead!

    A word of advice CP, should there EVER be any issues with my account you will be the very first place I lead the inquiry team to check. There is NO REASON that individuals should feel unsafe when making store purchases. What is the reason for us to shop at your store if that is the CASE??? Move to the 21st Century and either use tap technology or rent a terminal that allows for safe transactions!!! This is a record that your store's terminals exposes customers to risky financial transactions!!!

    Also, at the Eaton Centre location, the manager finds it appropriate to exchange looks and giggle about customers. I witnessed this on a few occasions aimed at more than one customer and even overheard what she had been commenting on; "weight and clothes; the way a customer looked". How shockingly offensive and inappropriate!

    About a year ago I bought 7 pairs of pants for my son, size 14, which were still brand new with its original store tags. What I did not have was the receipt. My son gain weight and now is a size 16. I took all of my pants back to the Children's Place store to exchange for a bigger size. I was advise that the store does not carry a size 16 but their online service does and because I did not have the receipt I was advise that I could not exchange or get a store credit. I was advise I should go online to fill out some info about the date I bought the item and with what credit card I used so that they can look up the receipt.

    I went online and did just that on 06/30/2016. I was also given a case number. On 07/13/2016 I call the Children's Place to find out why I had not heard a word from them. I was advise they call and left me a message. I advise the customer service rep I never got a call or an email and that was the reason I was calling. The rep explain to me that they could not find the receipt therefore the policy stated without a receipt they could not assist. I ask to speak with manager and was advise he was going to tell me the same thing. I got transfer and the manager indeed told me the same thing.

    I advise I would like for children's place to keep looking for my receipt. I advise the rep that I have pants worth $133.81 that I can't do anything with plus school was starting and needed the pants. He continue to explain their policy. I then ask to speak to the corporate office. The manager stated he would transfer me and then ask what my name was. I said to him that he was on the phone with me for almost an hour and he didn't know what my name was. He told me to hold on then disconnected the call and didn't even bother to call me back. I have been a long time customer ever since my son was born and never had a problem.

    Children's place has really bad customer service and they could care less about their customers. I can't understand why their customers have to go through all that madness just to get a store credit. I didn't even ask for my money back, just wanted a store credit to buy the size 16 online. I went to Walmart the other day to exchange a pair of short that did not have the store tag nor did I have the receipt and got the royal treatment. Children's Place should take a chapter out of Walmart book. I will never buy anything from them again nor recommend them to any of my friends who will tell their friends and so on.

    I find the clothes at The Children's Place too expensive and either too small or too large (their sizing is weird). But I like their hats so I bought 3 at the price of $11.21 each. The very next day I saw the same exact hats online for $7.47 each. I called customer service and the store, and both said they don't do price adjustments because all stores and online have their own pricing and promotions. What's the point of being a chain if all stores/online are going to have different prices?? I wasn't asking to apply a coupon after the fact, I wasn't asking for a competitor's price and I wasn't asking for a sale price three weeks later. I was asking for the same price they had online the very next day and they refused.

    Clearly their ridiculous policy is there to rip you off. If they cost $7 online NO reason why the store price shouldn't match. Other retailers have been more than happy to adjust discrepancies and TCP just didn't care, why would they? That means there are thousands of people buying more expensive items in-store.

    Consumers beware. Placed an online order only to receive an email from Children's Place stating the "order had been canceled" and included several reasons as to why that "may" have happened but none specific to my order. Email also included their Consumer Affairs phone number. After calling to find out why the order was canceled, I was informed that another department handles that, one that cannot be reached and the rep had to send a request for the reason which may take 2 or 3 days to receive a response.

    Children's Place first places a hold with the bank on the funds for the entire order including any tax and freight prior to placing the order. So when it's canceled the consumer is left waiting for the funds to return to their bank which in my case is up to 10 business days. Suggested they change their policy to first confirm they have the items in inventory and verify the other host of "reasons" an order could be canceled prior to placing the hold on the consumer's funds. Total waste of our time placing this order and their phone reps are obviously foreign and could hardly be understood but yet have names like "Willy". Right. Taking our business elsewhere.

    I made sure to spend enough money to earn one extra Place Cash. I also tried to order clearance items but they were all out of stock when I clicked into each item, completely wasting my time. When it was finally time to redeem my Place Cash, the sale online was 50% off, with a code, for everyone. This made the Place Cash worth nothing. The sale lasted the exact length as the Place Cash redemption. Today, a day after the Place Cash expired, the sale changed and all of the sudden you don't need a code to get the sale price. Why did it change? Because now they don't have to worry about the Place Cash anymore. I let my Cash expire and am not happy about it.

    I also shop at the Limited and the sales aren't quite as big during their "cash" redemption but they still have a sale and you can combine them which makes spending the extra to earn the dollars worth it. The moral of the story is that the Place Cash is a complete scam. Just look at how angry customers are on Facebook and with the same canned response from the company.

    I am a regular customer; I shop at least 15 or more times a year here. I recently bought some Easter clothes. I received place cash. 5 of them to be exact. They are for 10$ off 20$. Usually with 100$, you are able to buy 10-15 or more items when the prices are low. Today I went online to shop and use my place cash. There seems to be nothing on sale. Dresses that were on sale seemed to have gone up to regular price. Nothing that is worth buying is in stock; I have 5 kids. Sizes I need vary widely from baby sizes all the way to a 11-year-old. So honestly I can get 4 items for $100.00 using place cash. That seems like a ripoff deal. I really want to keep shopping here, but because of 1 bad experience, I consider not shopping here anymore.

    Prices should not change 10 times a month depending on if the business is doing good or not. I suspect that's why the prices are sky high one day and the next they are practically free. Well, at least what they try to get rid of is practically free. If people were able to do the percentage off and the place cash, I don't think there would be a problem. Besides place cash is only several times a year. Like Kohl's. Except Kohl's lets you combine the coupons with Kohl's cash making for a great deal. People tend to spend more money if they are saving more. It's a fact.

You can use 2 at a time! They say on $20 or more. Another lie. I was at $29 and it would only let me use one coupon with the total being that amount after the coupon. I also sent them 2 emails regarding other issues with no response. I was getting emails saying $20 Place cash for every $20 you spend. I go to the site and it's $10 for $20. It also said everything was 75% off when nothing was on sale. Again no response.

I was informed by a very rude manager that I would have to exchange the shirt for one exactly like it, even the same color, only a different size. There were no shirts in the store like this shirt in any size or color and XL is the largest size they carry (???). Still this person kept saying I would have to exchange it for the same thing, until I told her, "Fine. I will take a shirt exactly like this one only a bigger size." Evidently she realized how ridicules her repeated sentence sounded and finally agreed to look up my purchase on my place card. She put a credit for that amount on my card but refused to give me a receipt because "she would need it". Knowing that I would NEVER step foot back in that store.

    I found an item for the same amount and purchased it after standing for 20 minutes to check out. The clerk was helping someone else and the "manager" was walking around ignoring me. That credit has still not shown on my account, so this might not be over. Love the clothes, but not well enough to butt up with such impossible rules and rude workers!

    I used to shop at Children's Place when I found out I was having a boy in 2008 until about a year ago or two. Over the past couple of years, I have seen the sales become less about satisfying the customers and more about company greed. Not only are majority of the coupons are now in-store only (back then coupons were also for online sales) but the way they handle the coupons online is ridiculous. Here we are the day after Easter and they're having their place cash special and their 50 percent off code but we can't use both at the same. Why? I usually do not buy anything with place cash because all the merchandise is full price and you are not able to use additional coupons when buying with place cash. How is that satisfying the customer? When you go to stores the prices are different as well as the sales than from online.

    I wish Children's Place kept their company MO they had back when my children were babies... not like now. You used to be able to use coupons online and get better deals on top of their sale prices. Not like now where people are fooled into paying full price when the item will be going on sale in a few weeks. The prices fluctuate for different sales (when in reality you're paying full price). Once an avid Children's Place customer, I am now a once in a blue moon customer. I barely buy from Children's Place because their coupons are hard to use and their prices are tricked. I used to like shopping online where I know I can find my children's sizes without the hassle of going to a store that may not have it and getting a nice deal on clothes. I have since switched to H&M for my children's clothes. They have better deals, better prices, and better company.

Not long after that I was back in the same area putting back items that I did not need to where I picked them up from and another employee came up to me. Coincidence, I think not.

    I was highly offended and I felt as though I was targeted and every move I made was followed. I wanted to tell those ladies in the store that they needed to change their methods of customer. As a matter of fact I would hardly consider what I experienced to be customer service. I'm not going back to back to that location at all. I don't believe anybody going to a place of business to purchase or even browse for what they're seeking should feel uncomfortable. In fact the personal relationship between male and female employees via the conversations that I overheard were far more friendly and unprofessional.

    I have never ever been so upset in my life! I ordered my daughter some clothes for the beginning of her school year around July 24/25 2015. I paid using a Children's Place card because it gave me a pretty good discount. I assumed she was size 10 because she was that size in every other store. I ordered a lot of things that were "WEB ONLY" which meant I had to return the items by mail instead of in store returns. Which, of course I was okay with because usually it's fast and simple. My items got there. I tried them on my daughter and they were way too big so I proceeded to return them.

    The first mistake TCP made was that instead of sending me the correct packing slip, they sent me someone else's packing slip with full information such as Name, Address, Phone Number, etc. I called and they asked me to print one myself online or that they could send me one by mail which would take about a week and I printed my own. I sent the things out August 9. I waited a week and I called to make sure they had received the items. They let me know that nothing had been received (I had paid 3 day shipping). I waited another week, NOTHING. I called again about a week later and nothing. They asked me to find the Tracking Number, which I did. I gave it to them so that they could resolve it.

    My Place card bill was due October 04, 2015. I paid my first bill. Today it is November 6, 2015. My second bill was due November 4, 2015 and they have not yet resolved the issue. I have now been charged a late fee of $27.00. My complete bill was $73.00 which was about the total of the items I had returned. I did not want to pay the credit card bill for that reason. I am sick and tired of having to call their Customer Service Center over 10 times, waiting about an hour and a half EACH time I call and speaking to someone who cannot resolve my issue. I have tried my best to keep calm and not over exaggerate but this has just gotten too far. When I checked to make sure they did receive my items the tracking number I searched said DELIVERED.

    So today is Halloween and I went to over to my local Children's Place that I have been going for some time now at Ridge Hill Mall in Yonkers since I live right up the street, my son needed a shirt. When I walk in I see an employees with children behind the register as if she was working with her kids. So I ask, "Are those your kids?" She said, "Yes." That was a big wow. Very disappointed definitely going to report this to the department of labor. This is unacceptable.

    I placed order online for Children's Place and when I place my order it said qualify for $20 Children's Place cash. When I got my order there was no TCP cash. OK I was about to place a new TCP order and thankfully I didn't. Not only this but I was about to get TCP reward and they sent me a email saying my points were not good and reduce by 500 points. This is a joke. They are two times the prices of other stores plus sales cashiers give me attitude problems. Goodbye TCP. I'm going somewhere cheaper. I'm not sure about those TCP cash and rewards.

    I have never had a problem with The Children's Place in the 7 years I have had a card up until recently. I have had multiple billing issues in the last year. I have paid off my balance in store and then received a bill saying it hadn't been paid. Then I have to jump through hoops to prove I made the payment. Had an issue with paying my bill online with my account. I had paid online multiple times before but somehow I suddenly don't have an account to pay online? Had an issue with a late fee which was supposed to be removed which would have paid off the card but they never removed it. Sick of their issues. Closed my account.

    I ordered my son's school shorts off Children's Place online. They were having a good sale and free shipping. After waiting a week for my package I open it to find someone else's order in my bag! I called and was on hold for thirty minutes and finally reached someone I could barely understand. Instead of shipping me a new order he refunded my payment in 7-10 business days and gave me a ten dollar off coupon. I just wanted the shorts!

    I got a gift for my baby shower that is for a boy. I'm having a girl so clearly I'm going to return the item. Tags are still attached. It's on original hangers etc. When I get to the store the saleslady told me they can't help me since I didn't have any kind of receipt. UNLESS the store makes a "policy" to give every single customer that buys something a gift receipt it's ridiculous to not take a return. I was going to purchase something for more money but instead the saleslady turned down my sale and told me there's nothing she can do. Very very rude. This was at the store in Deptford NJ in the mall.

    So I called corporate. The lady on the phone basically laughed at me and said too bad I don't have a receipt. There's nothing they can do. I have 5 kids and have always purchased items from this store despite the terrible customer service I've always received when shopping in Deptford location. Never ever again will I step foot in your store. I've never heard of such a ridiculous return policy. Very disappointed that you care more about money than making loyal customers happy. I've been in retail for a few years now and I've never heard of such a thing.

    I received a store credit, even though my return was supposed to go back to my card. I contacted The Children's Place multiple times for over a month, and I receive the same e-mail each time from Customer Service: "Thank you for contacting The Children's Place. We do apologize for the inconvenience. Case still in research since our sales audit department has to verify gift card to be devalue and issue a credit back to original form of payment. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. If we can be of further assistance, please contact Customer Service at 1-877-752-2387, or visit www.childrensplace.com to view our Frequently Asked Questions." And of course, the customer service rep's name will always change.

    When I call, I get this response, "Someone will call you back within 24-48 hours and update you about your refund." That's such a lie. And now they don't even respond to my e-mails anymore! I've sent two e-mails to different departments online and I have not heard anything. They have the worst customer service, and the employees at the store I shopped at are total idiots. There is no point in me going in there anymore because they don't train their employees per the handbook, and if you get hostile or give them an attitude all they do is threaten to call the cops, ask you to leave, lie about calling back, or stop answering e-mails. I hope that corporate reads this complaint.

    I have read all of the negative reviews concerning TCP. Some of them don't even concern a shopping experience (i.e., I can't get my password and don't know how to reset it), some are based on a one time bad experience and some are based on their strict return policy. I understand that having a bad experience can get you turned off from shopping at a store, but please understand that a one time issue is not unusual and it can happen. Plus, I get that their return policy is strict, but it was put there for a reason. As long as you keep your receipts and have your child try on the clothing before you take off tags then there should be no problem.

    Also, there was one negative review that stated they could get cheaper kids clothes some place else - ummm, where would that be? Where else can you get jeans for kids at around $7 brand new?! There is always Walmart I guess, but I am not impressed with Walmart's quality like I am TCP's quality. Shopping at TCP has been wonderful! I have four kids (1 girl & 3 boys) and the money I have saved with their sales, coupons, reward dollars and extra 5% using their TCP credit card has been remarkable. I also love their selection and my kids are always excited to see what I have purchased for them from TCP. So, don't be turned off by TCP's low rating on this site. They really are a wonderful company with awesome product! I will be a lifelong customer for sure!

    I recently ordered four items for my niece as a end of school package. It was a swimsuit, a cover up beach bag, and sunglasses to match. I get a phone call when it arrives almost 3 weeks after payment asking why I bought my niece a see through dress. I explained it was a cover up for the swim suit that I also purchased. Confused my sister looked again and looked at the packing slip, there was no swim suit on the packing slip. Yet on my e-mail receipt and order on my account it clearly shows it on there.

    I called in to see if there was something wrong if it was on back order or something, to be told take it to the store - it is at their decision if they give it to you or not. I paid for this item and did not receive it, it should NOT be THEIR decision IF they give it to me. You can see it was paid for - it was on my PLACE CARD. Now you need to fix your mistake and own up to it. I should not have to pay for an item that never got shipped and is not on back-order or out of stock. You took my money. Now I believe in fair consumer practice. The goods that I ordered need to be delivered.

I was told that I could not get a refund or exchange. We had the shoes less than 24 hours and they began to tear and peel at the front of the shoe. The clerk didn't even want to look at my receipt.

On 3/17 I emailed them that the order had STILL not been received and I was unable to track it after 3/7. The email response from them was that someone would get back to me in 2 business days. On 3/20 I received another email stating they were sorry my order hadn't arrived and they would re-send the items available and/or credit me for the items depending on what they had in stock and that I would receive an email in 2 business days with the results.

    I contacted them today, 3/26 as there was NO email information received in 4 business days. On hold for quite a long time and then spoke with someone with a thick accent who told me they are a little behind and they were working on it. I then politely told her to cancel the order completely as it has been over MONTH and the order has not been received. She told me my credit would take 7-10 business days... what the heck?

    Our local store put up a sign saying, "Restroom is for Customers. Children from Mall Can Use Other Restrooms." The other restroom is clear on the other side, and we can shop if we have to stop! It is ridiculous for a Children's store to have such a lack of consideration for small kids and such a failing grasp of suggestive selling. If they only care for our money and NOT OUR CHILDREN, then I think we should all boycott! One child who frequently uses their restroom has Spina Bifida and will now have to hold it and walk a much farther distance! Unconscionable!

    After ordering several items over $300 from Children's Place, the amount was paid for from my debit card and deducted from my bank account. Two days later, C.P. emailed me that my order was canceled with a list of "possible reasons". I needed to know why my order was canceled, but the person on the phone was unable to give me an explanation. He told me he would send in a request and I would receive an email with an explanation. The refund has to be processed and is now on hold at the bank, so this makes it difficult for me to place a new order to buy the spring/summer clothes I intended to buy for my children. It would have been a better experience if C.P. would have waited to charge me until AFTER they knew my order could be processed. It would have been a better experience if C.P. gave me a valid reason for canceling my order.

    The Children's Place's return policy is ridiculous. If you DO NOT have a receipt they will not do a return or an exchange. The only exchange they will do is if it is for the EXACT same item, but in a different size. The clothes I had were a gift from an 80-year old grandmother who purchased them for Christmas, wrapped the clothes and mailed them to my kids. These clothes did not fit-- even though they were the sizes my kids typically wear. They would not take them as a return and would only exchange them for the SAME item, but different size. And, you guessed it, they did not have the EXACT same items in different sizes. So, I am stuck with clothes that cannot be worn. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!! TCP wanted me to go ask for the receipt from an 80 year old grandmother lives 400 miles away, who paid money to ship the clothing, and they were a gift... really?? I have shopped there for over 10 years for my five kids and have loved their clothes, but this policy is absurd especially where it is TCP's clothing with THEIR labels. I guess if you buy something there make sure it fits and save your receipt! BAD COMPANY POLICY!!! I will not be shopping there anymore!
