Review of Victoria's Secret customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is Victoria's Secret registered on BBB?
Victoria's Secret is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
I see they're now starting to offer free 'rewards cards' with certain purchases but so far it's been larger purchases like $35-40. Their old program used to offer Secret Rewards cards with just a $10 purchase & you could get 1 per day for the duration of the promo. I hope VS reinstates this program in the future because I really think they're losing a lot of business by canceling it.
Also another frustration is VS has stopped selling apparel for their basic VS line & swimsuits ugh :( That was what I bought there the most! Honestly I found their apparel super comfy & made me look good (especially their yoga pants) & couldn't find that level of comfort & fit from other brands, especially that was as cute of styles. Their swim suits were also super cute & they had fun unique styles I couldn't find elsewhere. So again, super bummed they stopped selling these things.
I checked they're site to see what they're selling now. It appears they're really expanding their VS sport line. Their PINK line still offers some apparel but it's clearly geared towards the young adult & college age girls. I'm only in my early 30s but I don't want to wear clothes with ginormous obnoxious PINK branding! Seriously almost everything in their PINK line has humongous PINK logos all over it. The PINK styles of
Apparel are cute but I don't want to be a roving advertisement for VS PINK. It'd be great if they could offer more apparel in their PINK line that doesn't have to their brand plastered all over it.
Overall, it would've been great if they could've kept VS apparel & swim & still offered more of their sport lines.
It actually makes me think they're having financial issues since they've made so many cuts. Either way, I really hope they don't make any more cutbacks for customers. Otherwise they'll definitely lose me for good.
Also, do you really appreciate the 10 foot photos of seductive-looking women as you walk through the mall. They are sexualizing women and making it seem like that is a woman's worth, to be sexy, and that is the purpose of the breast, to seduce males. That is not the purpose of the breast or the woman's body or the woman.
Also they put these sexualized images on commercials and fashion shows on national television. So say you are watching tv with your dad or with your children, then all of a sudden, bam, there's a woman in her bra prancing and staring seductively at you. I do not want that. I would rather support an underwear company that doesn't do that, and that actually has comfortable products.
Victoria's Secret is NOT sexy, high quality, or ethical.
No longer can a mature, professional woman purchase from VS and get the quality of the past. Perhaps that was their marketing goal: to attract young teens and lose their mature population. We like to look and feel sexy too, but we do that in style. I miss the VS of the past. Perhaps Victoria's Secret should consider line for those of us over 20!
In April 2019 I purchased a few items from VS and returned them in store 5/2/2019 and I have not received the credit back on my credit card yet. I have called multiple times and have probably spent at least 3-4 hours talking with them over the past few weeks and every time I call I explain everything to one person and Victoria's Secret transfer me to someone else and I explain again. At least 4 times. Plus I get a different story about how long it should take every time I call. They were unable to locate my items even though I have a confirmation email and receipt (that I got from the store when I returned them) that says I will get the credit back in 3-5 business days. Finally the last time I called they said they processed it and have my items but I still do not have the credit on my account. I have contacted the bank with my card and they are turning in a dispute to VS. It has been 19 business days at this point and VS cannot confirm that they even have my items (some of the people I have talked to at VS say they have them, others say they dont...). This has been beyond ridiculous and will definitely effect any purchases I make there in the future. I have been a very loyal customer until now. Oh and by the way, in the mean time I've had to make a payment and am now getting charged interest even though I will own them nothing after my return. Ridiculous.
Be careful if you order online as this company says you are on your own.
Victoria's Secret oversold a bag I ordered and paid for it, and after they were committed to deliver the bag to me with a small delay (as they claimed they had already ordered it from their vendor), they completely canceled my order the same day. After this, they put the same bag available online for sale, and when they were asked why this happened, they said they received a few pieces and put them on sale, after they had cancelled mine of course, which I paid for it and obviously was their mistake to oversell it in the first place.
Of course, they did not offer me an alternative bag to replace my order, neither they prioritized me for the specific bag I ordered.
Issue got too long to be resolved and, when I asked for a refund, they refunded me a wrong amount and I'm still waiting for the rest.
This service was a compete ruin of their reputation.
Their pants too have very inconsistent fit. I am size 4 in their Christie fit, but yet size 0 in the Marisa fit and size 2 in the Bridget fit. It gets very confusing. And even when it is the same style or fit like Christie fit, it depends on what materials they are made of, different materials have different sizing. I once bought a Christie fit in Pointe Knit, and it ended up looking like falling baggy pants on me eventhough I got my usual size! In cases like that it really sucks because to return it, you will need to pay return shipping, they do not have store you can return it to. Plus many times, if you are at the borderline of a certain coupon 'amount', you could end up losing your coupon value when you return it.
Their clothes have been really poor quality for the last 5-6 years, we are talking clothes looking old and faded after one wash. Or severe piling on the cotton dresses after a couple washes etc. Once in a while though, if you are lucky, you get one which is beautiful and great quality, but it is like a potshot... you never know when.
One thing I have no complaints about are their coats and shoes. So far they have been great and they have the cutest coat designs around with reasonable prices.
I may still get some stuff from them every now and then when they are on sale or if I cannot resist the design/colors, but in general I may look elsewhere because at full price, their quality is not worth the money.
P.S. If they people at VS see this review, can ya'll please looking in to bringing back the knee-high Sketchers boots w the 4(?) inch heel? I went through 3 pairs over the years bc they truly were the perfect boot! So comfortable, even for all day wear! :o) Thank you!
I ordered 2 day shipping May 6th. Victoria's Secret said it would come May 9th and I had my tracking number. May 8th now it's N/A so I wait all weekend and it's a no show. I ask them where my package is and they said it may come in the 14th but to let them know if it doesn't come in. I said that was NOT going to work for me so they gave me the option of a refund or overnight shipment. I requested an overnight shipment and they said it would come the 14th. There was no tracking number found on my order and the package did NOT come the 14th! They said it would come the 15th. I spoke to a supervisor by the name of Michelle who was a jerk. (Every other customer representative has been friendly and apologetic). Michelle informs me that she has seen this happen a couple times and that it can happen then she pauses. I ask her if I need to file a complaint with Fedex and she said that they would do that and that this has happened a couple times and that this can happen (AGAIN). She then pauses again and we sit there in awkward silence. When I informed her this happened twice she then said in a very sarcastic manner, "sorry about that!" She then went quiet on the phone and we sat there in awkward silence again... (see the pattern?) At that point, out of frustration I informed her that she was not very helpful and she said she didn't know what else to say to help me. Unfortunately after speaking to Michelle, she makes me want to dispose my Victoria Secret card and never buy their products again. A communications CE may be helpful for Michelle to help improve her phone mannerism.
If you mess up on a order TWICE you need to make up for it in order to entice me to stay and buy your products. They blame Fedex instead. I have used Fedex for years and never have had a problem with them AND if you use them you shouldn't blame them. I will be posting this so that people can understand that maybe their products are not worth the frustration and pompous attitudes.
RUDE!
Besides, there are plenty of different places to buy swimsuits, bras, and panties from.
Every single time I order online or shopping store I am told about all of the sales, discounts, reward cards, and etcetera. I am a student and I'm supposed to get 15% off my purchase. I also have the credit card and get regular reward cards and used to get free panties but they quit sending those to everyone. I have never once in my entire history of shopping with Victoria's Secret had a smooth checkout experience whether it be in store or online. There's always a problem with using a reward card or getting a reward card or using a discount. They should not advertise things if they are not going to let you use them. I leave frustrated every single time I go in a store place an order. This is part of the reason why the lines are so long they always have all of these things going on and can never figure out what the customers are and aren't allowed to use together. They're so sheets are completely overworked. I know this because I used to work there and it was the worst experience of my life. They are always understaffed and running around like crazy never knowing what they should be doing. There are always too many sales and not enough time for them to go over the sales so they're always uninformed and never know what's going on. Often I leave realizing that they forgot to apply discount or put in a reward card or free gift that I was supposed to get. They never know what their stock is or what their sales are or basically what is going on in the store they work in. My last experience shopping inside of the store went something like this:
The entire store was a mess and I was unable to find anything. Waited a long time to get a fitting room and once I did I realize one of the things I had grabbed ran small. I waited over half an hour for an associate finally come help me. I then waited another half an hour after she disappeared in the store to come back to me. I was told that somebody could bring me out on the mobile POS but there was nobody to be found so I waited in line for just as long as I did in the fitting room. By the time I got to the register the item out of school. I could order online was not available so I decided just to take the one I had my hand even though it wasn't the one I wanted. Victoria's Secret was having a bra and Sport pants set for $50 promotion. When she rang up the bra and Sport pants though, they weren't ringing up correctly and she didn't know what to do so I did not get to purchase the items. I waited all that time in the fitting room and in line for nothing. I left that with other items I was going to purchase and decided to just order online. Upon ordering online they did not have the items I found in the store that I wanted either and I was unable to use my student discount online or in-store. I finally got my shipment but they left out my reward card. I am done with Victoria's Secret at this point.
Then after verifying on the phone I get an email asking me to call again! A few minutes later I get a call from my mother. The mother of a 46 year old who lives in a completely different state. She had received a call from Victoria Secret wanting to verify my credit card information!
These creeps had tracked down my mother's phone number, it was not something I gave them. When I called to complain, they said, "it's public information." This is the most ridiculous invasion of privacy I have ever encountered from a retail company. I've asked them to remove ALL of my credit card and personal information but at this point I don't for a second believe these cyberstalkers have removed anything.
Do not buy from these people if you at all value your privacy!
Soo creepy.
WRONG MOVE.
I did not get a chance to record the Order Confirmation No. The total amount of the purchase came to around SG$350.00. Victoria's Secret flashed a message on my computer screen to say that I would be receiving the email confirmation from them within 2 hours.
THE EMAIL CONFIRMATION DID NOT COME ON 15 JAN 2021.
I went to their chat online and chatted with a VS agent named Sarah. Luckily she provided me with my ORder Confirmation number, after I gave her my name, my email add and my shipping add. She also verified the amount I had paid through my visa credit card. She also told me that I would be receiving the Email Confirmation within the day.
I DID NOT RECEIVE THE EMAIL CONFIRMATION ON 15 JAN 2021 OR 16 JAN 2021.
On the night of 15 Jan 2021, I emailed VS Customer Service and gave them the above-mentioned info. THey also said I would receive the Email Confirmation within 2 hours.
I NEVER DID.
By 16 Jan 2021 (and after around 10 emails to-ing and fro-ing with their Customer Service team) my patience waned thin. They still dodged around and still could not send me the email confirmation with the items I had purchased.
DONT ASK ME WHY.
By 18 Jan 2021 I had to resort to threatening them that I would post about their pathetic service on their website, their fb and ReviewFeeder. That did not worry them a bit. They even went so far as to pretend to send me a link in which (they claimed) I would see the Order Confrmation. I typed in my Order Confirmation number and hoped to see the items I had purchased, but I was logged out, the system telling me that this order did not exist.
WITH THAT, I WAS IRATE WITH ANGER.
I called up my credit card company and they said that two seconds after I had made the purchase, VS had happily debited the amount from my credit card!
So this is how they do business huh?
My credit card co couldnot help much, they only told me to wait until 2 Feb 2021 to see if the items reach me, and if they do not reach me, to lodge a report to them (the credit card co).
I am posting this review on ReviewFeeder to ask if any of you out there has suffered the same fate with VS Online? I had bought items from them many many times before, and have never faced this kind of anger, bad treatment, $#*!ty service and frustration before.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE OF YOU HAVE HAD THE BAD LUCK TO ENCOUNTER THIS KIND OF PATHETIC SERVICE BEFORE!
Here's why:
1. I live in Minnesota. My local Victoria's Secret is in the Mall of America.
2. I can try on the clothing.
3. Victoria's Secret measure your bra size to help you find the perfect bra each and every time
4. I get help immediately. If I'm unsure about a product I ask a sales associate or even another customer about how something looks on me or if they've tried the product before.
5. Returns are a lot easier in a store than online. I find myself never returning anything I buy online because it's too much work.
6. And last but definitely not least the selection in the store is much bigger than online. They have limited yoga pants online but if you go into the store the selection is much broader and that doesn't just apply to yoga pants. Another thing is the sales in store. Online sales are never as good as the in store sales. And you have to pay shipping.
Just something to think about.
PINK apparel such as jackets, tops, sleepwear, leggings, etc. never fit and I got my correct size, none of PINK apparel fits true to size and had to return back in the mail, no store near me. And Victoria secret sleepwear, panties, bras, etc. never fit either and I also get correct size as well, xs. Both of Victoria secret and PINK merchandise doesn't run true to size even if you get your correct size, and is extremely poor cheap quality, even target is way better quality at much cheaper price. PINK apparel and vs merchandise doesn't have a flattering slim fit and it doesn't matter what size you get!
All of PINK apparel fits extremely oversized and looks so cheap and bad quality in person. They sell these sherpa jackets online for $80 and not selling out either due to its bad cheap poor quality and bunch of fake reviews just written by PINK and vs employees on item. I ordered one and it's such poor quality, got size xs and fits awkwardly in sleeves and allover, bulky fit and doesn't fit slim either, Looks like wearing a trash bag. And doesn't keep warm either because it's not a winter coat, returned it in mail as well.
DO NOT BUY FROM PINK AND VS ONLINE OR IN STORES, because both brands don't care about customers, both PINK and vs sell overpriced cheap poor bad quality items on website and in stores because they don't care about the quality of items, they're just hoping to make money, which they make none of because a lot of people aren't buying from VS or PINK due to their overpriced cheaply made merchandise. Both PINK and VS have huge rapid sale declines online and in stores because both brands merchandise never sells out online or in store because it's overpriced and cheaply made and nobody buying.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I am currently working at Victoria Secret Markville mall located at 5000 Highway 7 East, Markham, ON, L3R 4M9. I am writing to you with a complaint about management. There are currently three managers who are employed at Victoria Secret. One of them is named Tara, and she is an extremely good manager who I enjoy working for and feel motivated by to reach a high selling spot. Tara respects all employees and customers, is very organized, acts professional, help staff improve by giving constructive feedback and acknowledges a good job when she see it. I have no problems what so ever with Tara. S for the employees Victoria's Secret are all very hard working and kind. All of us make up a powerful selling team when Tara is managing.
As for the other two managers Manaria and Sheiraled I along with many other employees at Victoria Secret have a problem with the way these two managers manage the store. They are to forceful to a point where it is considered bulling. They threaten to firer you all most every shift if you do not reach a high selling spot. On many occasions they call employees into their office and make them feel badly for not selling enough. They never take into account that the flow of customers is not always constant. Most of the time employee called into the office come out in tears. Most of the girls that are working there never stay long and six employees that I know off are currently looking for a new job because they hate working at Victoria Secret only because of the management.
I am not suggesting you to fire them by any means but they do need to be spoken to about the constant harassing of employees and threatening to fire them. Employees are not happy working here, we feel that we are treated without respect, the two managers are not approachable by any means. The surveys we are required to fill out evaluating the mangers performance and what we think of the working conditions are not truth full. Once we fill out the survey our manager reads it out in front of us so there is no way we can be honest when filling out the surveys. The manager makes us explain why you gave them an eight out of ten instead of a ten and make you change it.
I also would like to share with you some examples of incidents that are not handled well by Sharielle and Manaria.
Name Exchange (Both managers)
As an employee I know it is a must to do name exchange with a customer. I usually introduce myself. Ask the customer there name and then shown them a variety of items which we collect in a shopper bag and make her braw journey fun and memorable. Then before guiding her to the fitting room I leave my name with the customer for a second time. I make absolute sure I say my name clearly, slowly and loudly. Majority of the customers I help, speak mandarin or Cantonese and barely speak English. 70% of the time a customer I have helped does not remember my name even though I spent an hour with them helping them one on one. Then when the managers at the casher ask the customer who helped them the customer says no one. Then after they leave cash register they come and find me before they leave and thank me for all my help. Now both Manaria and Sharille keep track of every customer that says no one helped them and then approach you. "Why did I have seven customers to day say that no one helped them." Then I answer I did help them I put a great effort in today to reach out to every customer. "Well then you explain to me why they said no one helped them, am I to believe the customers lying, well am I. Then must have forgot my name. "Well that is no excuse that just goes to prove you didn't do your job and build a connection if they don't remember your name. If you want to keep working for me, you better step up your game if not you can easily be replaced." Each employee gets scolded at individually and she never acknowledges all the customers that did mention your name and say how great you where.
Cash Wrap (Sherialle)
I was organizing go backs behind the counter and a customer came to cash with a braw she wanted to return. Our manager was at the cash and the customer explained to her that she bought the braw 5 days ago and wanted to return it because she found a braw at the Bay that fit her better. Our manager kept insisting the women do an exchange while the customer was getting annoyed because she had just said no five times and did not want to do an exchange. Our manager was rude and pushy until finally the customer said, "You know what I have asked you nicely five time and now I want to speak with your manager." Then are manager said she was the manager and the women looked discussed and took the braw off the counter and went to the cashier beside the manager. Can you return this for me because I don't want that women serving me. Our manger is not patient with people at cash, she snaps at them and argues with them and the customer leaves the store irritated or upset.
Theft (Manaria)
As an associate I am well aware about the kinds of theft in the store. One of the managers came up and told me numerous times, watch out for those black people the colored ones are always Angels. First off that is racist to say all black people steel, second of all one of my closest friends are black. And my friend is extremely honest and trustworthy so that made me upset. Second of all there are a couple of people who work at Victoria Secret who are black and here Manaria say this constantly how do think that makes them feel.
Teaching us a lesson (Manaria)
One of the two managers was very angry about people forgetting to bring a lock. So when we all finished for the evening to do bag checks one girl was getting her bag checked and the manager found a handle full of under wear in her bag. The manager got really angry and called her a thief, the girl started to cry saying she never Stoll the underwear. The manager said oh and you expect me to believe a theft. The girl was humiliated in front of the rest of the staff she was crying her eyes out. The manager said I know you didn't steal the underwear I put it there to teach you a lesson to put a lock on your stuff.
I was really annoyed by this first off the girl for got her lock by accident and second off all the manager herself half the time forgets to lock her lock so who is she to judge. And also she had done that to other people in their coat pockets and you're not expected to lock you coats in a locker it is just plain mean. How are we supposed to respect a manager who acts like a mean school girl and enjoys seeing others upset? Both managers are mean to each other on breaks. One constantly make fun of the others managers weight even though they are both the same size. Saying things like I can sure tell you live for food, you never stop eating.
I do hope you can sort this issue out soon because until you do the Victoria Secret at Markville Mall will not be functioning at its max potential. When the staff is fearful and unhappy, they don't tend to take pride in what they are selling. And if they don't like their job, they will be putting minimal effort while they look for a new one which I have seen time and time again.
However, Victoria's Secret does carry a good selection of female underwear in sizes 9 and 10. If you have a very generous bust, you generally have to have it made special order online anyway.
They have delightful, glamorous, and sexy outfits for us. Occasionally, they carry One-Size-Fits-All, (for instance in Catsuits, and other stretch outfits.)
Otherwise, the colors of their outfits can run from all ranges of the spectrum. Some of their outfits are drop-dead gorgeous. The quality is usually pretty good, and if you take care of your clothes, they can fade out of fashion, and come back in again 20 years later, and they still are in fine condition. But what do you think? They often do not stay on a woman for very long anyways. If you have a tender and thoughtful partner, he generally does not just rip them off you and tear them anyway, unless he is willing to buy you some frilly new gifts.
I've purchased two Victoria's Secret bras and a pair of panties from here throughout my time. The first bra was about $40, and the 2nd was on sale for $20 (orig. $40). Usually I buy my bras at WalMart or Ross (yeah yeah, I know) for between $8 and $15 apiece; those ones last me at least 3 months, but often Victoria's Secret last much longer--up to a full year or more!
Unfortunately the first VS bra's straps were too stretched out after only the third wash (didn't have removable straps). This second one's straps are a little stretchy, but the biggest problem is that after just the first wash (with air drying!), the padding in the bra had curled out on the top edge on one side, and now you can see it through my clothes. Someone told me that I needed to hand-wash this regular cotton push-up bra... whaaat? If I'm going to spend that much on a bra, it should be made well enough that I don't need to hand-wash it for it to not get ruined! That might just be my opinion, but I'd rather the lower-priced bras that might not be as cute, but that last longer and can be washed like normal clothes without getting stretched out or lumpy.
I have ordered many different things from this company in the past and Victoria's Secret usually deliver what I am expecting. I have a few items from their workout line and they can give Lululemon a run for their money any day. Their bras are good quality, however they are not meant to fit petite individuals. I find there is usually too much space between the cups which makes them sit off to the sides of my front, kind of disappointing when that happens, but hey these products are made for "model" size humans so I can't really fault them for that. Their customer service staff is usually very polite and helpful when I'm in the store, I can't speak to their online customer service as I've never contacted them online.
The online shopping experience is not the greatest because we do not qualify for free shipping here in Canada so there's always an added expense, on top of already pricey products. Some of their cheaper items definitely reflect the quality in the price, but you can't tell that online. I've found that I can get items of similar quality at my local Walmart lol. So if you want awesome quality and are willing to pay for it I suggest just going for their extravagantly priced items, there's a reason they're priced like that.
Overall I like Victoria's Secret, and I recommend their products if it fits in your budget :)
