Got the outfit wasn't impressed but I didn't realize at the time I had signed up for the subscription I thought it was a one time thing because of this free trial coupon
Well anyways about 3 months after I realized I was getting $30 a month taken out of my account... I called customer service who were AWFUL
FabKids said I had to use the credit (which I didn't want because the outfit was cheap) I told them I wanted my money back and how no where did the coupon say I would be billed monthly after getting my trial outfit.
They agreed to give me one month back and send one outfit (so I was still out an additional $30) ONLY of I kept up with the company
Ummm no... they continued to tell me I wouldn't get my money back unless I stayed with the company and pretty much tried to blackmail me with my money... I finally talked to a manager and was told I could get my money back($30) and one outfit regardless (but he was very rude about it)... eventually I got the $30 back but never did receive the other outfit but after my awful customer service experience I wasn't going to bother
So I got one Walmart quality outfit for $60
Fabletics they were VERY VERY CLEAR OF THEIR TERMS. And it was CLEAR that I would be charged 49.95
If I didn't skip the month. Unlike fabkids where I had no clue their was any membership at all or fees...
The rep hassled me for 5 minutes, talking over me, just badgering me keep on service. Cancelling with them is like it was in the 90s to cancel with AOL. WORST experience ever.
FabKids also charged the wrong card. I bought first order with hm a Discover, realized monthly billing and changed to my Visa the i in do reaccuring bills on like Netflix and Hulu. They still charged my Discover. I changed it again after that, the next month same. They try and tell me my credit card gave updated info... yeah Visa gave Discovers number to bill me.
Someone higher up called and told me it is an somethibg she saw before, if something is not in the cart when you switch card number for billing then it won't change. She saw the other card in the system (which the only way they would have it is if I purchased with it, which i hadn't, or i switch the billing card).
They refuse to refund the card back that i clearly did not authorize to be charged, bexause of their system error, not mine. I honestly think that is bs and they know it, but TN they have to keep their job, i guess.
She's been needing some leggings for gymnastics and FabKids had a sale 3 for $20 and when i started adding them to the cart it said 3 for $15 so i was not going to complain. I also got an outfit (lavendar baby doll style lace dress with leggings) and was very impressed with the quality and it fit her rather well. All the leggings are great, a little loose at the knees, i may buy a size down next time to see if i just bought a size too big.
With this order as well i bought a pair of shoes that were on sale for $7 to put my order over $50 for free shipping. The first day she wore them they got scuffed up pretty good (black shoes with star cut outs with stretchy strap over them) she also complained about the strap a lot and when i took them off her they were digging into her skin pretty good. The 2nd time she wore them i tried stretching them out, but it was almost worse then before. I may just cut this off.
When November rolled around I was debating on buying an outfit but decided to skip a few hours before midnight on the 5th... My card never got charged.
There has been several times where I skipped the month -and I always double check it went through - but I still got charged the monthly fee. And getting that refunded is very difficult. FabKids make it so difficult that you will likely give up, because you'll need to spend hours on the phone arguing. They will tell you that you made a mistake. I had to go as far as canceling my debit card and getting a new one.
Aside from that the quality is poor. I bought my daughter boots and within two days the sole entirely fell off! I emailed customer service and they said I can return it but a return for a refund will cost you $15. Again, they make it difficult and not worth the hassle. I've had another pair of kids shoes break after one week, another that was sized incorrectly, a pair of boots for myself that were Walmart quality in looks, and a shirt just as poorly made.
There are countless people like me who were wrongly charged even AFTER canceling their membership. I don't know how they get away with it but this is one of the worst, most dishonest companies I have ever dealt with in my entire life.
Don't bother with this company. It was always such a hassle to remember to skip the month if you didn't want to order that month. They prey on people forgetting to skip the month so they can charge you $29. Bull$#*!.
Upon reading lots of other reviews, I'm not the only person with a complaint about the charges FabKids make on people's credit cards without their consent. They must be making a lot of money doing this, otherwise WHY would they deal with all the angry people asking for the charges to be reversed? If they weren't deceitfully making money this way, they would make it VERY CLEAR to people that they are agreeing to join their VIP club just by making a purchase!
Update: Customer service was quick to issue a refund and hopefully cancel my membership (unless "refund my money, I never would've signed up for this if I'd realized that's what I was doing" didn't clearly indicate that I no longer (and never did) want to be a VIP member. As of now, I will say their customer service is good, but I did suggest that they revamp their website to make it clear to people what they are signing up for!
