So disappointed. I have shopped in their stores since they opened. I now buy 80% of my clothes online. I have done one order with Aritzia because I couldn't find the items I wanted in store.
Slowest delivery ever - and I live in a big city! Worst returns service ever. Still no credit or refund. I genuinely wanted to use the credit I was getting towards another item. Had to email them and they said that it's being processed. Another 5 days later check my credit card, nothing. Then receive an automated email about packaging my return for one of TWO items which were already sent back weeks ago?! And no email from a customer service rep.
If I ever get my refund I'm not doing another order. Ever.
I returned a sweater which I wore 4 times. It snagged in 2 places and stretched out to the point where it no longer fit. I couldn't get store credit. Had to immediately purchase something of equal or greater value. Sweater I found was $20 less and couldn't even get a credit for that. So ended up with some tights I didn't want. When this saga was over I then got a lecture from the store clerk on how to fix snags in the sweater and that this was a final purchase. I left feeling liked I'd been slapped on the wrist. Never going back. Crappy product for high prices.
I purchased 4 sweaters with the understanding that I would be returning two of them. When I tried to do a return, they offered store credit only because the sweaters were sale items. The sweaters were $200 and reduced in price by $10. Big deal! Because they were on sale, I received store credit only. This is an example of corporate greed. I don't support this kind of business model. So disappointed.
I honestly always order from Aritzia online. I hate shopping in their stores due to horrible customer service and non genuine feedbacks. Their quality is awesome and service is quite decent online. The standard shipping is very fast, I literally receive my order the next day or within 2-3 business days. I definitely recommend to just check for your size in stores and purchase online instead.
What a joke to call themselves customer service. I had ordered a jacket online and it arrived damaged, okay no problem i'll exchange it to get a new one. Went to my computer to find that the jacket was now sold out. Decided to reach out to the concierge service to see if they can give me a full refund or at least a bigger discount. (You can ONLY get store credit back and not a full cash refund). They made me send them all these photos of the damage... just to come back two days later and say that they can help me... with an EXCHANGE. Like an exchange that i could have done myself? Jesus. It's almost patronizing. Now my choices are either: a) Keep the jacket that arrived damaged or b) return it and have a 200$ store credit on my hands when I didnt want anything else. They really need to do better, they have been pissing off their core group of customers for MONTHS now. Maybe they are focusing more on their US side and forgetting about their Canadian based consumers.
I ordered a pair of equator pants about a month ago and they called me within a week and a half saying that they got the order wrong so that I have to wait again. They re ordered it for me & now it's been almost 3 weeks since I've been waiting for my purchase. I am extremely unsatisfied with their poor service. I have yet to receive a call about my order.
Very disappointed! We bought a coat, second choice from my daughter, but then we found the first choice of coat on another store so we went back for return. Because today was black Friday, Aritzia in Carrefour Laval in Quebec, did not want it to reimburse us even if the coat wasn't on special! They told us to come back the next day. Really expensive and no service. For my daughter was a shock so never again we will come back there. Plus is pretty expensive and no service at all. We had to buy the first choice coat for my daughter, and we are talking about more than 300$.

My teenage daughter loves this store, but she has to shop online. She overpurchased recently and I had to help her return things -- some overdue, etc. The Aritzia Concierge service was polite, good humored and helped us return things from multiple orders. I would encourage you to shop online at Aritzia if you like their clothes as they are great with customers.
I bought a pair of leggings online. The first pair has several ridiculous black lines, then I asked for an exchange, The second one has multiple holes, then I asked for exchange again, the third pair still have one hole! I contacted their customer service, she said she bought several pairs too, all pairs are in great condition! So I am a picky customer? So rude!
They will make it a living hell if you are trying to return something. I bought sale stuff from them online, total of $40 and they returned it back on my mastercard at the store. A month later, I bought stuff totalling over $300 and this time they very conveniently informed me that they dont give out full refunds for sales stuff and I had to take everything on gift card. RIDICULOUS.
Bought an Eva sweater. Put it away for a month to wear in winter. Horrifyingly when I took it out to wear I noticed there were holes beginning to get larger in the sleeves. They refused to refund me because I just cut off the price tag. Mind you I had the price tag just that I cut it off from where they'd attached it. Just for that stupid reason they refused to give me back my cash. So I had to settle for a gift card as I purchased online. And this was after they demanded that I send photos of the item first. According to others the quality is poor and they know this but they gave me the runaround. I had not even worn this sweater and it was so bad with those gaping holes. It seems like it's standard practice to keep people's money and if anything at all issue a store credit. This should be illegal!
Aritzia is well known for their high prices and average quality clothes - but when I went to buy a simple t-shirt, I gave them a $100 bill because that was all I had. They gave me change as if I had paid with a $50 bill, I went back to confront them about this error and they stated that there was nothing they could do. Safe to say I am never going back there again.
Artizia has some of the cutest clothes super expensive but I don't mind paying for things like sweaters and blouses that I feel are well made. However, the one issue i have with this place is how awful the people who work in store are, on average, as well as via the customer service line. They all seem to be teens who have absolutely no customer service skills. In store they're often rude, and lazy and lack tact. I shop here less now just bc I don't want to deal with how awful the people who work there are.
Placed an order online when they were having a sale, and received someone else's order in the mail. I called their concierge and they told me to return the items in order to receive a full refund. I won't be able to get a replacement since the item I ordered is sold out. $#*!ing ridiculous, I have to inconveniently make a trip to return items that they made a mistake on, and nothing was offered in exchange.
The received product is not matching with the one from the websites' photo.
The customer service is playing stupid and refuses to waive the shipment costs even though they sent the wrong product.
I really love my 2 purchases from Aritzia. It is a little on the pricey side for basic clothing but the quality is great so it's kinda worth spending a little extra for it. I bought 2 sweaters and both fit/ look amazing on. Very happy with my purchase.
My stuff was put back on shelves when I went to pay for it. Also I ordered a sweater on line and when I went to pick it up in the store I was told that they have to look for it on the floor and to hope that it's still somewhere and was not sold already!
Look at the sale they have in the picture below
First off I only bought from this store because their owner was on the news and made it sound what he was doing so grand. I ordered 2 items off the website and they were nothing like the pic so I gave one away and sent the other back. They refused to credit my account back and gave me an ecard. You would think in these times they would give your money back like ALL other stores because you cant see the item. I will be out 250.00 dollars because I will never step in this store
I would just like to recognize how awesome Anna was in online customer service. I called in a panic as I had bought a dress in store a while ago for my grad but tried it on only to find it didn't fit anymore. Anna immediately took charge of the situation and made it a breeze. She was so kind and understanding!
I would go somewhere else to buy clothes
Aritzia is the worst in clothing business
I do not understand how they think that it is ok for an online purchase that you have not seen in person, if you buy it for 50% off or more, then you can not exchange?
Wow, That is very customer cheating because many of their clothes are unwearable
For example it can be too cropped or the structure of the garment is weird or the material is way too thin. Garbage
Answer: Yes seems how I ordered tires 2-15-2023 and now it's 4-10-23 and still haven't gotten them and can't even Wright them do to them blocking me
Answer: Aritzia is taking advantage of their young, targeted audience by not offering proper customer service to a generation that is likely to sit down and take the abuse, rather than fighting back and getting what they deserve. They have a return policy of only ten days, which is an outlier amongst Canadian companies. In ten days, a product likely won't be delivered if purchased online, so the return period is lost before the product even reaches its buyer. I'm leaving this review in hopes of spreading awareness of Aritzias poor customer service and the impossibility to return products to Aritzia.
