Review of ASOS customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is ASOS registered on BBB?
ASOS is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
Lets look at it from a physical shop perspective. You walk into a shop, the cashier checks they have the size you need. Confirmed your sized items are in the store room you pay at the counter and the cashier goes to get your items. A long time passes so you ask floor staff where the cashier/your items are. The floor staff have no idea. As you continue to stand in the shop waiting, you spot another cashier. Maybe they can help?! This cashier engages with you but states he does not know where the original cashier or your items but gives you a phone number (tracking number) which does not work. So you go back to this cashier to explain the number doesn't work and this time he acknowledges you have paid for the items but informs you Asos will be holding on to your money for now. However he assures you you can go home happy (without your items or your money!) because the customer service team will 'be in touch' in 18 DAYS. Does this seem normal to you? When Asos FINALLY get in touch they do not know what happened to that cashier or your items and low and behold they are now out of stock of the items you originally paid for?!
Whether it's clear cut fraud or not, Asos are breaking their obligation to uphold the Consumer Agreement Act by failing to deliver products purchased within the agreed delivery date. I urge anyone who is experiencing these issues with Asos to seriously consider opening a dispute. I also urge anyone considering buying from this company to read all the reviews you can find (there are numerous reviews similar to mine).
There needs to be an investigation into Asos conduct. Watch this space! Asos seem to have a positive reputation in the past so perhaps they have changed management? Perhaps they are now on the brink of bankruptcy and have to go to the measures of selling stock they do not have to stay afloat? Perhaps it is just fraud and they are relying on those customers who do not open disputes? Perhaps they are actually just seriously incompetent (this one seems the most far fetched!). Maybe Asos should advertise for short term investment for zero return - this is what they are doing only consumers are conned into doing so!?
BE VERY AWARE!
I ordered about 5 different things and they all looked very nice in the photos, all on petite sized models and it fit them really well, looked really fitted and flattering so I thought this was how it would look on me also. However this was wrong to assume because I couldn't believe how large each item was upon arrival, they looked so small in the photos but were baggy and large in real life! None of the clothes fit me properly, they were all extremely long (came down to my knees when they were supposed to be mid-thigh) and baggy around the waist. One dress was an off the shoulder style and looked very elegant in the photos but in real life it kept falling off my shoulders because it was just too big. I was very disappointed as it was a beautiful black dress with lace sleeves. It was the same problem with the rest of the clothes.
I also ordered a pair of black wide fit platform heels (only kind available was wide fit) and they were bigger than I thought. I have small feet and ordered UK size 3 / NZ size 5 as this is my usual size but they seemed more like UK size 4 in real life and are on the verge of looking weird on my small feet. They are also made of leather and the straps cut into my feet, they are very stiff and I've tried multiple times to loosen the leather but it never seems to work or make a difference. As a result the shoes are quite uncomfortable and hurt when I walk in them.
I gave ASOS 3/5 stars because the delivery was pretty quick and also free (unlike so many other online shopping websites) and I did quite like one dress, I've been wearing it even though it's quite baggy. Although I don't think I'll wear the rest of my purchases so I feel it was kind of a waste of money as I spent quite a lot for each item.
Not sure if I'll buy from ASOS again, I can understand it might be great for non petite people because the clothes will probably fit better. But would not recommend this website to any petite people, even buying from the 'petite' section like I did.
I ordered a short sleeve t-shirt dress that was plain and black. The dress I received was 2 sizes too big and was a completely different dress.
Here's the email thread between myself and whatever horrible customer service ASOS has:
ASOS:
I am sorry to hear to hear you received an the incorrect item. Please be assured this is not a regular occurrence here at ASOS.
Sadly, when your parcel was being processed the replacement CURVE Ultimate Smock Dress you requested was out of stock, so we were unable to replace it for you.
Please send the incorrect item back to us within 28 days of receiving it. It can take up to 10 business days for your return to arrive at our warehouse. Once it arrives, well refund you for the item within 24 hours and drop you an email to confirm.
Youll be refunded back to the payment method you used to place your order and the funds will show in your account within 5-10 working days of the refund being completed. If we're not able to issue your refund as expected, we'll be in touch.
Me: Unfortunately I am having trouble understanding why I am responsible for the daily check in on the Back In Stock link. I have an expansive background in the retail industry and am well aware that you should have a way of finding out if/when this product will be back in stock. I do understand that human error can play a large role in this mistake but Im having trouble with the fact that the incorrect style and size were sent to me. It almost seems like this was blatantly done because the packer was aware that the item was out of stock when ASOS were packaging and didnt want to have to deal with communicating to me - the customer - the issue. I ignored the negative reviews that I read throughout various parts of the internet to give you the opportunity to provide me an excellent first shopping experience with you; its disappointing that I was let down. Please have your team notify me when the item is in stock.
ASOS:
Thanks for getting in touch. I'm sorry to hear you didn't receive the correct item for your order 277409376.
Sadly, we're unable to let you know directly when the item comes back in stock. We would never send an incorrect item on purpose as when we sometimes come to pack orders items have become unavailable, we would then contact our customers directly at that point to let them know that the item is out of stock.
I know this isn't the outcome you were hoping for Bayley.
To make it up to you, I'm including a 10% discount code to use on your next order.
Me:
Sadly, you are unable to make it up to me and therefore lost a customer. Keep your 10%. I will be sending back the item and will throughly check up on updates about my refund.
I'll be posting a review of my experience in hopes to save someone else.
Then I got angry and sent a double email adding in this:
Also, if my order wasn't in stock then why was I able to purchase it in the first place? You should highly consider working on the statuses of your items.
Basically there is ZERO help from customer service whatsoever. All they do it off you a 10% off code which, might I mention they have sent to me 3 other times randomly before so that I would review them.
DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS STORE. I was not smart enough to not check their online reviews beforehand otherwise I'd probably not be in this situations.
Best luck to anyone who decides to order from them.
But the when you order, don´t expect to recive any kind of helpful support.
In my case, I ordered 9 items for the value of over 200 Euros (09. 07. 21). First, my account was deactivated, then my order was cancelled because my account was blocked.
By the time my order should´ve arrived (15. 07. 21), I already got in touch with the chat support multiple times. The first consultant (Larry) ensured that "(...), your order can be still delivered on your expected delivery date on July 15th. (...)", but then he disconnected so I tried getting in touch with someone else to confirm. He then said "I've already raised this with our Specialist team to find out what happened. Please allow 24-48 hours for an update, we'll drop you an email as soon as possible". (12. 07. 21)
A day later I received an email that my account was supposed to be active again and that I should reorder. Lo and behold, it was still inactive when I tried looging in.
When trying to raise this issue within the Chat again, I was told that they´re really busy and the Specialist team will get in touch with me asap (13. 07. 21)
As I haven´t received an answer, email OR my clothes by the 16th July, I wanted to get in touch again BUT the chat function was no longer working. So i wrote an email that I received an email to just today (19. 07. 21).
My account was now active again and I understand I would have to reorder everything myself.
Therefore, I tidiously added everything to my shopping cart again and was about to check out, when I see, that the promo code for new customers that I used on my first order, no longer works with m new order - even though I never received anything.
After getting in touch again (must be the 6th or 7th time now), my issues was AGAIN forwarded to the Specialist Team and I was asked to be patient.
I am sorry - but how long do you need me to be patient? I have ordered sports clothes that I needed urgently for the last weekend and just because you guys f*** up, I need to waste my time trying to talk to someone that can only forward cases to so called "specialist teams" who evetually get in touch with you with half a solution.
I have never been wasting my time more. I am highly frustrated and never been treated this way by any other company before.
I wish that noone has to go through the same steps that I do... In the end you won´t get your clothes, you wont get them for the reduced price you were expecting and you won´t receive ANY incentive to order again with ASOS.
Happy that there are plenty of other shops out there with proper customer service in place.
But then the problems started. I ordered 2 dresses back in late March/ and early April and ASOS never arrived. Had to email customer service because there isn't a phone centre, and received generic automated responses. Was told to "look with neighbours, at the post office" or a safe place where my mail may have been delivered. Well- anyone who lives in urban Ontario knows that mail is delivered to community boxes and would never be left at a neighbours house! P.S. I love a company trying to blame the mail system for their mistakes.
3 business days later, and no sign of my dress, I email customer service again, and they decide to mail out the dress again. Yet they keep leaving off the province in my mailing address, despite me telling them to include it. I point out that its all in my account information, and I double check to make sure that its all correct, and it is- they still make the same mistake over and over. The second order is now late, and I have to start the same conversation with a new agent.
Long story short, there is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! There isn't anyone who you can speak with live, or even have the same person to deal with your problem. You end up speaking to a new person every time! There is no tracking information unless you pay $15 for express, and there is no way for me to get a hold of the same person to deal with my account. I have tried twitter as well, and it's just as horrible. I'm so sick and tired of explaining the situation with my orders over and over again with new people every single time I email customer care.
My experience with their customer service alone will deter me from ever spending another dime at that site. Sorry, but that is deplorable in this day and age where you should have your stuff together when you offer free international shipping. It shouldn't be left to chance, and there should be a tracking number with EVERY order without having to pay for express shipping. Such a load of crap!
I wouldn't recommend shopping this site, unless you are willing to take a chance of getting your order or not. Unacceptable in 2015!
It seems like most of the complaints about Asos is about shipping. You guys have to understand that this is a risk that inherently comes with online shopping. Read everything during your checkout process and make sure that if you want a tracking number, you gotta choose a delivery service that includes one. Also, be patient with customer service. Don't rage all over your emails and expect them to not feel threatened and intimidated. They are human beings too. Be decent and calm and work WITH your customer service representative in resolving the issue. Also understand that once your order leaves their warehouse, the journey to your house becomes largely a responsibility of the shipping company. While you should expect Asos to help you make sure that you get your items and/or provide explanations about the problems, take into account that they also have to deal with the shipping company and can only do so much if anything was to happen with your items.
Edit: I would like to give notice: I once ordered a pair of chelsea boots and they arrived slightly dirty and packed carelessly. I love the boots so I kept them. They have been a great addition to my wardrobe but do take in mind that you might encounter some less stellar experiences.
I DID EXACTLY THAT SPENT APPROX $65. ON POSTAGE AND RETURNED THE SHOES. THE SHOES MADE IT TO THEIR WAREHOUSE ON 14TH APRIL AND THEY ARE NOW DENYING 1) TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECEIPT OF SHOES 2) NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY ABOUT ALICE'S EMAIL 3) THEY HAVE BEEN SUCH JERKS IN THEIR WRITING BACK AND FORTH TO ME
I CANT BELIEVE HOW COMPANY PERSONALS CAN GIVE WRONG INFORMATION AND COST INNOCENT PEOPLE TO GO IN TO LOSS/ NOT LISTEN TO THEM/ CLOSE FILES WITHOUT OUTCOMES AND NOT CARE WHAT OR WHERE THE ISSUE IS COMING FROM! I HOPE I CAN GET THEM REPORTED EVERYWHERE FOR SUCH BAD /DOWN LOW AND DEGRADING THING TO ME - THEY ARE LIARS/CHEATERS AND MOST INCOMPETENT BUNCH OF MORONS RUNNING A SO CALLED COMPANY - I HOPE THEY GET ALL BAD REVIEWS AND THEY SHUT DOWN I HOPE THE EVIL CATCHES UP WITH THEM FOR THEIR CORRUPTION - WAITING TO SEE THEIR STUPID COMPANY GO DOWN... the first email below with reply from ALICE

Hi
I've received above named slip ons as a GIFT, but they are not my size! I was wondering if it's possible to exchange this pair for a size 8.5 Canadian size? UK 39 euro 6.5? I do not have a receipt for the item. Some pictures are attached for your reference, Would appreciate your help.
Kind regards
Thank you
I've ordered a £60 dress to wear to an event. The chest area was very large and didn't fit. So as per usual, I applied for a refund, got a barcode and went to the nearest Collect + store (in my case Tesco). The Tesco staff scanned the barcode. Took the item and gave me a receipt.
After a few days when the return still wasn't updated I went back to Tesco to double check if it's been shipped. ASOS took the receipt and after 15 mins of searching and checking CCTV said that it's been taken by Collect +. However, they also said that the barcode wasn't scanned properly so tracking would not be available. They told me to contact Collect + and ASOS for more info.
I emailed Collect + and they said that they've checked internally in their warehouse and it wasn't there. They also said that the driver would've taken all the ASOS parcels directly to ASOS and that I should ask ASOS to check.
Since then, I've been emailing with ASOS whose customer service couldn't have been more unhelpful. First of all, every time you respond on an email you get assigned a new support person, each using the same macro that says something like "please provide a tracking number and we will process the refund". I've sent them the receipt from Tesco as well as Collect + replies, and all I got in return was "we still have not received your tracking number". I don't know if these are automatic replies or if these people simply ignore what I'm asking for which is for them to check internally whether it's arrived as part of a collect + returns batch in the past two weeks. Once I even got a rather dramatic response saying they're happy to end my agony and refund but a few hours later someone else (again) emailed me to say it's my problem if I don't have the tracking number and that they're not going to search anything for me. The biggest slap in the face was them actually saying that it's my fault for not picking a more reliable delivery service when it's allocated by ASOS anyway?! So they blame you for picking the returns method listed as the only option on the website?! Ridiculous!
I hope you will learn from my mistakes as this has cost me £60, countless calls with Tesco and Collect+ and several days of emailing back and fourth with ASOS customer support who have zero empathy, understanding and it seems are determined to keep your money at all cost.
I've never felt more disrespected or ignored from a large, "respectable" company in my life. I can imagine shipping issues happen somewhat frequently with an e-commerce site. It's three weeks later and I've been asked in VERY disrespectful emails that I will absolutely make public, to "be patient." That ASOS are "working" on it. They've had absolutely no problem working on taking my money. Yet each time I ask for an update, it takes 2-3 days in between emails. Or Tweets. Or Facebook replies.
Asking to speak to a manager falls on deaf ears as does asking for a refund. No response. I'm six months pregnant, my husband is deployed and I have a full-time job. Everyone has busy lives with things going on probably much more so than I, but ASOS doesn't seem to care where my money comes from as long as it's lining their pockets. I purchased maternity clothes from this site because it seemed like I would be getting a fair price and decent quality clothing that I could wear throughout the rest of my pregnancy as I'm growing out of all the clothes I already own. If they can do this to me with absolutely no regard for my money, where it comes from or whether or not I receive what I've paid for, then they will certainly do it to you, unless of course, everything works out perfectly on your end. Asos, the time for being patient is over. Either give me my money back, find my package, or let me talk to an actual human being supervisor. Facebook Ollie, Twitter team, Email Sharon & Termititope - I've talked to a different person every single time, or just no one at all and I'm tired of this. I just wanted them to figure it out and I'd go away. Now, I'm making my voice heard.
I ordered a bikini on the 14th of August on the Australian website. When I receive the item after a little while, ASOS seem to have sent me the wrong size. Whether or not that comes from a faulty conversion between the Australian and UK website or from a mistake when sending the item, I don't know, but the fix is fairly simple: For them to send me the item I originally ordered, and for me to return the other item. However, it did not turn out to be that simple.
I contacted ASOS via chat straight away, and was told they would send my issue to a "specialist team". When asked how long it could take, they told me that due to high workloads it could take up to 10 days. I also contacted ASOS via Facebook, and after being asked for my order number and email, they stopped replying. On the 29th I got a response telling me I'd been sent a replacement, but in the message, they told me the size was the same as the one I originally got (which was, of course, the incorrect size), so I asked them straight away if the size they were to send would be the right size or not, and the person copied and pasted the original message. No answers were given. I even provided pictures and a simple explanation in case they misunderstood, but still received no answer on Facebook or chat.
I then went on to call customer service via the phone. This included me having to pay for credits to call a UK phone number, but at this point, I had tried every single option. I call and am quite quickly put in touch with a very helpful lady on the other end. She tells me they can't know for sure what size I've been sent as a replacement until it arrives, and she's very apologetic and generally a nice lady (only positive reply so far). So I am told to wait until it arrives, and so I do.
The parcel arrives, and they've sent me the same WRONG size once again. I contact customer service via chat as the phone is not open yet, and am told to keep waiting. The person doesn't even answer any of my questions, and basically tells me to wait for an email, but what I'm waiting for and for how long I have no idea. He then proceeds to just end the chat abruptly.
However, it has happened REGULARLY that ASOS claim to not have received my returns, so you want to hang on to your receipts for dear life or you lose everything. In total, I have probably lost well over 300 pounds because Asos claimed they didn't get my returns.
This time, however, was even worse; I ordered a few items for my upcoming vacation two weeks before my flight. I purposefully checked the tracking info and stayed in 2 days in a row, not leaving my flat, waiting for my parcel. Asos sent me emails 3 times claiming I was not in and they could not deliver the parcel, however, both I and my flatmates were in the house and we KNOW that a delivery truck probably didn't even pull up (we would have heard that).
So I contact Customer Service and tell them the issue. By this point, 7 days have passed. They say they cannot redirect the order to be re-sent to me; it's their policy that after 3 "failed" delivery attempts, the order goes back to the warehouse and is processed as a return. I make sure to understand this correctly; they said I'd have to reorder all the items I wanted again in a different, separate order because the first parcel was definitely going to be processed as a return and I would receive my money back for that. To make sure, I did tell them I was not going to be in much longer as I was going on holiday and they said they understood and would not send me anything.
(A side note here; the customer support person was incredibly rude and passive-aggressive. The lady later was nice, but still unhelpful.)
Fast forward to today; 16 days after first placing the order, it has reappeared and was delivered while I am on holiday. I am not going to be back for a month and when I tell Customer Support about the issue, they say there is nothing they can do and that if I want to return anything after I am back from my holiday, I would maybe get a gift voucher.
I am incredibly upset because I did nothing wrong in this situation and Asos does absolutely not care. And they never do, so do yourselves a favour and shop somewhere else - Asos' prices are not worth the headache and in 80% of cases, you'll probably want to return stuff anyway; and that is where the real nightmare starts.
Today is 48 hours later from my last point of contact with ASOS and yet again ASOS did not fulfill its promises.
I followed ASOS Return Policy in the correct manner. I returned the purchased item to ASOS in the appropriate time frame. I waited 10 working days from the point of sending my parcel back to them. I contacted them and provided them with full proof of postage. Following ASOS return policy I am determined I qualify for a refund. So far, as clear as ASOS return and refund policy may be it is very well evident that they do not follow their own protocol. ASOS usually refunds its customers in 10 to 14 days. All I have received in return is lack of communication and complete negligence from ASOS Customer Support. I have been their regular customer since 2011 but it's time to move on.
I am currently seeking action through Resolver but will be seeking further action with the help of the Consumer Ombudsman and let them put things in motion.
Køb ikke noget hos Asos. Får du problemer med det kan du ikke reklamere, for det første får du så svært ved at komme i kontakt med dem. Man kan ikke ringe til dem eller chatte. Og skriver man får man svar først efter mange uger. Og så tillader de sig oven i købet at afvise en reklamation over en så tydelig fejlproduktion.
Odrenr: 401737523 Vi købte disse Buffalo sko i foråret og de er allerede så ødelagte, at man ikke kan gå med dem mere. For det første skalder al sølvbelægningen af, for det andet er indersålen gået løs og bunden under indersålen er gået i opløsning og lugter, ikke af sure tær men af en ubestemmelig syntetisk ubehagelig lugt. For det tredie prikken over i et er bundsålen så ødelagt nu, den går simpelthen i stykker, gummiet er ikke stærkt nok til at gå på, og der trænger nu vand ind gennem bundsålen, så skoen hele tiden bliver drivende våd inden i. Alt i Alt ser de herrens ud og er ikke til at holde ud at gå i længere, og det kun efter ca et halvt år. De er ikke blevet brugt til andet end at gå i i fritiden, og ikke til sport eller lign udfordrende ting for skoen.
Order number: 401737523
I bought these Buffalo sneakers in april 2019 and already, ASOS totally worn out, an impossible to wear, because of the following reasons: 1. The silver colour is falling apart. 2. The inner of the shoe buttom is falling apart, so many holes in the inner buttom under the sole. And also a terrible smell because of this. 3. The outside buttom, the sole is falling apart, the rubbersole, is such a bad quality, worn out with so deep holes, that it cannot hold back water from the ground, so the shoes is constantly wet inside, and therefore not suitable to use anymore. The shoes have been used as ordinary sneakers and not harassed in any way. How do I get my money back for this unfortunate purchase?
