“Beware of Rigid Return Policy”

★☆☆☆☆

written by rubyred56 on 05/10/2018

I had purchased a set of 7 bamboo and muslin facial cloths that were packed as Monday to Sunday. I decided to try one to find out if I liked it. I was so flimsy you can see through it and was not able to wash my face with it as it was similar to putting a wet handkerchief. In addition it also stained. I attempted to explain to their customer service rep as well as the manager on duty and all they kept saying similar to a mantra was they cannot return a used item as this product is considered a beauty item. I explained I only used one cloth and the six remaining were still in the box. They did not even attempt to offer any type of compensation at all including exchanging the faulty product or offering a percentage off your next purchase. I will never purchase from this company again. There are too many online merchants who are willing to accommodate their customers to keep their business. This is not one of them.

“Charged me on cancelled items & refused to give $ back”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 25/07/2018

Placed an order with more than 8 items. Before the order was shipped, I called to cancel two of them so they did. However a few weeks later I realised they still charged the two items I cancelled. I tried contacting them, every customer service was pretending that they didn’t know what I was talking about and told me nothing was wrong with my order. I’ve been in contact with them for more than 4 weeks now, still no result. They insist I have credit on my account (which I do but that’s from items I returned). Over $100 they over charged me and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to get my money back.

“They cancelled my order telling me they couldn't...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by mrsyikester on 15/07/2017

They cancelled my order telling me they couldn't contact my Visa card. I got them in a 3 way call with my Visa and the customer rep couldn't answer why Net a Porter had lied because Visa had the transaction going through. Rep hung up on me. I tried again, with a different card, and was told to contact my Card and get a 4 digit access code. Amex laughed at me, when I asked for it. I cancelled my whole order. Over $900, because you have no ability to actually do your job. I will never shop again, and I advise others not too.

Cancelled my order TWICE claiming "...credit card info did not match and both VISA and AMEX would not approve order..." spoke to both VISA and AMEX, both had approved the sale, and both referred me back to the merchant. Spoke to a supervisor who stated: "The Finance Dept. has advised me there is a 'problem' and we are not accepting any further orders regardless of credit card." She could not explain exactly what the 'problem" was. My guess is that the deeply discounted Junya Wantanabe dress I attempted to order either didn't exist or was a knock off... Like they say in Thailand: "Same same but different [problem...]

“Poor Customer Service in the US”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Cindy198 on 02/07/2017

I purchased a high ticket item over the phone through a UK customer service representative who was extremely poliet and helpful. Unfortunatley, because it was expensive they decided to place my order on hold, pre-authorize payment immediately and then return an amount less than a dollar that I need to verify before they release the item. I placed the order over the phone to ensure I received it within the 2-3 day delivery time stated on their website. The issue is that the return amount can take up to 5 days to appear back on my credit card. I spoke with 2 customer service representives and a manager in the US to ask if they could simply charge me another amount under a dollar that I could confirm. No one would help me. I then received a call from the rep in the UK who called to apologize and do her best to help me. I think it's a poor business practice to charge a persons credit card but not release their order without asking them first.

“Disappointed by poor customer service from a luxury...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by LTran12 on 01/09/2016

I have been a customer of Net-a-porter for years. Most recently, I ordered the same shirt in two different sizes because I wasn't sure which one would fit me properly. Once I determined the size that needed to be returned, I called them and got an RMA number. I got the return back to them after the designated 28 days -- and to my surprise, they mailed the shirt back to me stating that I had waited too long and the 28 days had passed. I was so surprised at this lack of customer service from a high-end luxury retailer. Not sure I will ever order from them again.

“Do NOT BUY”

★☆☆☆☆

written by RogerDevine62 on 13/07/2016

I am writing this review under the law of freedom of information act. I worked for net a porter through their partner DHL (storage and distribution). the Bras and Underwares that have been sent out to customers come back and do not get washed. The Hygine strips they do not get replaced. Dresses that have been sent out to customers previously before do not get washed. CUSTOMERS sometimes get sent out used dresses

“Overpriced”

★☆☆☆☆

written by DangeloVaughn on 07/01/2016

Greatly over priced if your buying from Australia. Also beware if you return an Item on which you paid duty and taxes, you won't be getting a refund on those. So like myself you will end up losing money. Biggest scheme from this site as they can recover duty and taxes as the item is returned. Also found same products on other international websites much cheaper. Basically do your homework before buying from this site

“Net-a-porter took my money”

★☆☆☆☆

written by angrycustomernetaporter on 06/09/2015

I bought a pair of Jimmy Choo Agnes Pump on 17 May 2015, the color was non-matched so I returned it on 31 May 2015. Until now I still NOT receiving my replacement shoes!! The return was delivered on 28 May 2015 in UK. But Net-a-porter customer service keep saying that they will check with return department in UK and not getting back to me even though they promised to do so in the email. Now, 3 months had passed. Net-a-porter took my money, US$568.30 gone and I received nothing!! See how their customer service handle a return case

“Awful condition ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Jax-b on 26/08/2015

This was the first time I had used the website. I found the website easy enough to use and they had in stock exactly what I was looking for, a lovely pair of christian loboutin shoes. I placed an order and within days the shoes were with me. I was shocked however at the condition in which the shoes arrived. The box had clearly been tampered with and the shoes were in a terrible condition. Glue visible on the joins of the shoes and in general bad condition. I called them and sent photos of the shoes. They immediately arranged for a free delivery and refund. Surprised that no real apology given. Would not use this site again.

“Dep;orable Service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 18/07/2014

Horrible company. I purchased a few things while traveling and when I got the one pair of shoes did not suit me, so I called for a return 31 days after purchase and they refused the refund. I spend thousands with them, but nothing since this episode. They have nothing that I cannot find elsewhere and with better customer service. The notice says guideline, so I guess my shopping record did not qualify as a valued customer.

“High End Rip Off”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Sundayonline on 15/05/2014

I’ve been shopping almost exclusively on Net A Porter for the past couple of years now. I used to be one of their greatest advocates, telling everyone I knew how much I loved them. Unfortunately, this is no longer be the case. I purchased a pair of Marni wood heel leather sandals in December 2013. Not long after I bought them I noticed that there was a split in the leather, I was really surprised but I loved them so much that I didn’t want to send them back. Since then they have started to become unstuck or unglued on both shoes. Pretty soon they are going to be unwearable. I sent a photo of the split leather that I took not long after I originally purchased the shoes. I also sent a photo of the current state –where the inner sole is coming away from the timber platform. This is the same on both shoes. The message I received back from NAP follows: After inspecting the pictures that you have provided, we are unable to accept your return. The fault has been classified by wear and tear. I doubt that anyone even looked at the images. I just assumed that when you pay a lot of money for a high end luxury brand that the quality of the goods will be excellent. These shoes haven't even lasted 6 months. What a rip off!

Hi, I just read your comment, I know it was ages ago, but I have to agree totally with you. The high end designers, the majority they think that they are the kings of the world, when in fact they refuse to accpet any responsability for any damage or poor quality, it happened to me with michael kors too, with saint Laurent and also with tory burch, they all are made in china items an overpriced price tag, but NAP group are ridiculous, for what I read, the seemed to be ok to lose a loyal costumer rather than investigate your case further.

“Mr. Porter Is Meditation”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 17/01/2014

"MR PORTER provides an unrivalled customer care" -- unless you actually need customer care. They do have a great selection and they do ship very quickly. But the true appreciation of this website really starts when you need to contact customer support. For the price of only a few (given, mildly frustrating) international calls, you will embark on an exotic journey across continents. You will visit England, India and other magical places - over the phone, but still. Unfailingly polite employees will unfailingly fail to do anything to address your issue, helping you relax and gain a new appreciation of the universe moving around you. Time will pass and nothing will happen. Zen. At the end of the journey you will have forgotten your worries, stopped being an angry person, and submitted to the peaceful flow of destiny. You will be a changed man (or changed woman, as their support stubbornly seems to believe). Don´t miss out on this transcedental experience.

“Ignoring my emails now!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by TracyRicho on 19/08/2013

I recently purchased from Net-a-Porter from Australia. I was charged duties and GST for the item and when I returned the item they refused to refund the GST. Told me to seek a refund from Customs. Customs also refuse to refund saying that "Net-a-Porter know they need to refund you the money, they are just difficult about it. If you keep hassling them they will eventually do it". Net-A-Porter are now ignoring my emails to them. I cannot believe that this hasn't been previously sorted out. The amount was in excess of $350 so I'm not very happy! Customs and net-a-porter should sort this out between themselves and not leave customers going back and forth receiving conflicting messages. Ridiculous! Will never purchase from Net-a-porter again and will recommend friends don't either.

Written on: 24/09/2013

I have just experienced the same on the purchase of 2 dresses from Net-A-Porter that are too large. As there are no smaller sizes they agree to refund the purchase price less the duties and taxes.

My taxes exceed $350. Net-A-Porter also has suggested I go to Australian Customs to request a refund.

This advice is unpalatable. Here is a provider of luxury goods with a pedestrian approach to customer service. REFUND THE TAXES and stop passing the buck Net-A-Porter!

Improve the customer experience.

N.B A/NZ consumers: Avoid taxes by keeping single online transactions under $1,000. Split purchases to pay the list price.

“OK...UNLESS YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 09/07/2013

Buy your expensive items from a store. Net-a-porter will not look after you if there is a fault with your item. I brought a biki which I only wore twice before the elastic went - they said it was normal wear and tear! Bergdof..Barneys...they don't treat their customers this way.

“DO NOT BUY FROM THEM TERRIBLE AT CUSTOMER SERVICE”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 30/06/2013

extremely dissapointed that they handle returns so poorly. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY FROM THEM and definitely advise people to not deal with them. There are other companies that are much better at assisting customers when handling returns such as my-wardrobe.com and shopbop.com. Their claim for handling it so poorly was that they were shipping to Norway, but I have bought from the two companies listed above and the second one is based in the US and I was fully refunded (including duties and taxes) when I was not satisfied with the item. I was out of close to $200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pelchellusa's Comment

Written on: 30/06/2013

was contacted by a senior representative afterwards very attentive to my needs and willing to explain in detail the issues with customs and duties paid to the norwegian govt. I was happy that my concern was taken seriously and that the issue i faced will be put forward to management for them to disclose for customers in the future. I was also given a €50 store credit thus I am willing to give NAP a second chance.

“slow communication”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 11/04/2013

I'm very unhappy with the customer service, at first they needed me to add my work/shipping address to my credit card, I did that RIGHT away, and it took them the NEXT day to tell me it didn't work, So I had to call my bank AGAIN and confirmed that my address with related to the card, and than they never let me know if it was OK. Until I checked online the status was "awaiting shipment" and it stayed at this status for another whole day. This delay, delayed my shipment by 2 days, and took another 3 days for the package to arrive to Canada. I could of had it by the end of the week and used it for the weekend, but it was too late. I emailed customer service and I called them! but they were very SLOW and honestly don't really know what they are doing. Very disappointed with their system and customer service. the only think that made me add a star is their nice packaging. also not very happy with the website in general, I would only buy from them if I really could not find the same product anywhere else. They never have free shipping coupons or any kind of coupons for us Canadians to use. No benefits at all.

“More expensive than other sites like Revolve Clothing”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 03/04/2013

Prices are very high now compared to other sites. Plus they change their pricing depending on where you are ordering from - not cool since they charge you a higher delivery charge if you order from the US instead of UK for instance. Used to buy from them all the time but very disgruntled now that see what they are doing with their pricing.

“Jumping Through Hoops To Deliver”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Saqueveque on 27/11/2012

I wanted to order a bag. My Billing and Shipping address were going to be different as it was a gift. 1. Day1 They said they could not send to the different home address w/out a signature. Which when I was ordering was a option (no signature) and I selected no signature as I work very hectic hours and would not be home when it arrived. 2. Day2Changed the shipping address to my work address and waited 24hrs from the finance dept to confirm that this was ok - it was not. 3. Day3 Email was sent that I needed an autorization code from my credit card company in order to ship. Called Credit Card Company to get auth code and they can only issue auth codes to vendors and net a porter will not call the credit card company to get one. 4. Day4 next option was to wait 3-4 days for the finanace dept to get some approval which by this point I was fed up. 5. Day4 Cancelled the $2000 order for one bag - I have plenty of experience with luxury online retailers (this would have been my 12th luxury handbag purchase) and this was beyond a waist of time. I understand protecting the client but this was absolutely a waist of my time and a huge frustration.

“Beware - bad service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by HelenP1 on 04/07/2012

I ordered a dress from Net-A-Porter and was initially pleased with the service. The dress I received however was damaaged and so I returned it with the assurances that they had held a replacement dress for me and would send it out as soon as mine was received. One week later they tell me they have no more in stock. AND it will take at least 10 days for my credit card to be reimbursed. Oh wait, they have put £5.00 on an account for me so the next time I order I will receive free shipping! Stay away. Shop in real stores

Written on: 24/07/2012

I agree.
Austalians beware of returns to Net-a-Porter!
If you return an item, you will not receive the GST and Duties back.
They claim that you can get it back through customs but Australian customs are VERY aware of this fraudulent claim from them and it is NOT possible to get it back because Net-A-Porter pay for taxes within your purchase and so are deemed the owner of the product and they are the only ones who can get it back.
GST is 10% and Duties 15% so if you buy a $500 item you will Lose $125.
If you exchange and it's not faulty you still lose that money, so it can become a very expensive purchase.

“Caveat Emptor”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 02/05/2012

Great until things go wrong and you have to return or exchange something as if you live outside the EU you will not be refunded your tax and duties. DHL is responsible for the delivery chain and their CS is surpassed in incompetence perhaps only by Net a Porter themselves. Won't order from them again.
