Buyer Beware...
Gilt has repeatedly sent switched product styles (completely different designs) when I have ordered from them. They have sent the same product type (category) and designer, but a completely different item.
They do NOT consistently find it necessary to correct this type of error by replacing the incorrect item with what the consumer has actually ordered. They also have proven that they don't find it a necessity to refund the cost of an item that was never ordered by the purchaser (and that the purchaser was never legally responsible for). They also do not find it necessary to refund the shipping fees for the item that was never ordered by the consumer.

They do claim as an explanation that there have been warehouse errors, but do not consistently act with accountability to take possible corrective action.
Bottom line is that this seems to appear to be a corporate policy to change the items when there seems to be no more inventory for correct fulfillment. In the end, this action seems to appear to equate with a known intention to defraud consumers via illegal bait and switch tactics.
Numerous Gilt customers have complained across social media about aspects of this bait and switch problem, so the matter is very known to the company, yet the practice has continued for a great length of time.
While it is possible to make a warehouse error occasionally, to have it be more rampant without consistent corrective action, sends up serious red flags about the company's true intent.
