I spent 40 minutes on a gift return of a tradesman light that the battery leaked in the package. Spoke to Patricia first and then the supervisor Debra.
The end result is if you do not have an original receipt they DO NOT STAND BEHIND QUALITY ISSUES.
I am very disappointed in her response we do not know where it was purchased from and without a receipt, we cannot issue a return even though it is in the original packaging with the battery leakage in the package!
They have lost a long-term user forever!
I said to her that they would lose a customer for life and Debra did not care
Very disappointed! Their no Bull guarantee is BULL!
Bought multiple pairs. Found out they're out sourced in foreign country. One pair rear pocket corner stitching tore and another pair the zipper broke. The price should be bargain basement level instead of the the price Duluth is charging the consumer.
This is the worst clothing company I've dealt with, including those in China. Items arrived too late for Christmas, now I have to pay return shipping. Seriously! Avoid them at all costs.
You can't get through to customer service. They eventually email you back but don't solve your problem. They take two months to refund and even that took countless phone calls and emails and three supervisors. They have made fools of all their customers who fell for their fake folksy working man crap
I placed two orders on December 30th totaling nearly $200. Both orders were immediately charged to my credit card. Since then, I have received absolutely no correspondence from Duluth. I've checked both orders several times - both were waiting to be packed until today, 1/8, when they were both cancelled. Again, I received no notice of this - Duluth has simply erased them. I have received no refund and now need to initiate multiple credit card chargebacks. According to the many other reviews, this is Duluth's new standard of operation. I'll never be ordering from them again.
I'm a longtime customer, 90% of my clothes are from Duluth. I was on the phone for an hour today to try to exchange a sweater i had received for Christmas because it was to large. After an hour it rang, I could hear someone in the background that said WTF and then it went straight to a survey asking me how the service was. What service! I finished the survey so I could leave a message and number so someone could contact me. I'm waiting!
I am beyond frustrated and I am out of options on what to do. It all started when I ordered 2 boxer briefs for my fiancé for Christmas on November 19th. I waited 2 weeks and they hadn't updated anything at all on the tracking website. So I called, I waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for them to even answer the phone and they told me it was lost so they would arrange for it to get delivered as soon as possible (which the earliest was Dec. 30th! They said since it couldn't be any earlier, even though I ordered it on Nov. 19th. I am so frustrated honestly. Because I asked if they could send a tracking number or confirmation and they said no because they don't do that but once it ships I'll get the tracking number and all that. So then, I wait 3 days and they send me an email saying "ready to return your items?" But I never even got the package in the first place! It does say $0 return (but I think it's because it would've been an exchange) so I don't know what to do. I tried calling again today since I never got a tracking number or anything other than that return email saying to return my package. I got in contact with an agent and told her the situation and she said "let me put you on a brief hold" and then I waited 15 minutes for her to hang up! I am at loss of words on how unhelpful it has been to try and at least find out where my order is. The customer service is very bad during this holiday season and I'm so disappointed and upset. It was a $40 purchase and I do not make a lot of money, but this is my finances favorite underwear brand!
Please, if there are any ideas on what to do in this situation? I've tried reaching out on the phone, on live chat, I've emailed them 3 times (2 times to their customer service email & 1 time to their return email) and it's been weeks and I haven't gotten one single response.
Is anyone else going through this? If so, how do you get it situated?
Placed an order a week ago and have yet to receive order conformation or any info on shipping. Called 4 seperate times and after holding for 30+ minutes without any communication I hung up. Even tried live chat but no communication that way either. Duluth is a joke and a scam.
They will send you the wrong item, ask you to ship it back, then tell you that the item you actually ordered is out of stock. So you'll never get your order and get stuck with shipping chores. Stay away.
My understanding is that the Visa credit card company requires merchants to wait to charge the customer's credit card until the order actually ships. Duluth lets the carrier know there will be an order coming and they seem to count that as shipping the order. I received an email stating my order was shipped but when I tried to track the order the carrier stated they had not received the package. This is the first time I have come across this when dealing with a major merchant. It's not a good business practice and it will definitely stop me from ordering from Duluth again. I tried to call to inquire but there was a fifteen minute wait to talk to a customer service representative so I sent an email inquiring about the status of my order.
I used to buy all the time from Duluth, but their "Made in the USA" mantra seems to have disappeared, and it seems to me they really don't care about their customers as long as they are making a quick buck.
I purchased two packs of underwear and they came in as shown below. The very least an underwear company could do is package their product so it seems like someone else hasn't ALREADY WORN YOUR UNDERWEAR. This is so egregious that it almost seems like a joke.
I contacted customer service and they said "oh darn, we'll email an exchange slip to you." Thanks, Duluth. I cannot wait to exchange my used $60 underwear for another pair of used underwear. I wonder if they could give me a $5 gift card for the gas it'll take to return this.
Aside from my Duluth Trading Company Beanie for the colder weather times, I was never much into wearing hats but as the recipient of very late onset Vitiligo, I have become concerned about sun exposure to my face, so I bought a Mens Crusher Hat. It looks and feels great, including the breeze coming in through the top. Drop a heavy bag of stuff on it? It springs back to life like those trick birthday candles. And like all products I have purchased from Duluth, it arrived sooner than expected, just in time for a stretch of 90+ degree weather here in the Seattle area.
I've ordered 3 items from this company via the web. They have managed to screw up all 3 items requiring me to make multiple calls trying to fix the various problems. I'm waiting to see it they've been fixed - won't know until I receive the most recent 2 items or not. Maybe buying in the store is the only way to deal with them. It's certainly the only way I'm going to do business with them in the future. I like their products but hate their web processing.
Sizes are designed for those who love their snacks so T shirt was like a huge garbage bag. Had to pay shipping and it was extremely slow. Went to return (the shirt I was unable to try on) and found out I had to pay 8 bucks for a T-shirt... Come on folks let's not fund your profits through expensive returns that you probably get a kick back from the USPS. Nice business model: charge $8 dollars every time someone wants to try on a shirt and you'll get rich bilking the hard working middle class that you relentlessly target. I'll keep the stupid shirt and buff the car with it - a reminder not to do business with Duluth any more. They are certainly no Amazon and I should have never fell for their TV ads. I don't usually con easy but I broke my own rule of not dealing with TV advertising companies that have these clever or really sincere advertisements. Save some money stick with Amazon.
I love this company and have spent quite a bit of money on especially the heirloom overalls and no yank boat neck tanks. I recently tried a new jumpsuit hoping it would be ideal for upcoming European travel. It was, unfortunately, too difficult to get on and off. I was dismayed to find it would be $8 to return. In this day and age of rising prices and unmitigated corporate greed, I will think twice about ordering knowing that I will take a hit on my refund if I find the product unsatisfactory. Very disappointed.
I bought a pair after I saw the commercial with the beaver who bites the leg and his teeth fall out. I use them at the dog shelter where I volunteer. A pit bull bit the pants leg and tore a hole in it. When I called the company they said it's not warranted for that.
DO NOT TRUST DULUTH TRADING! 😡😡😡
For weeks they have owed me a refund for more than $500.00. They told me that they were sending the refund by check, but when I finally got the check it was for only $16.00. I filed a case with PayPal hoping that I could get my money back, but Duluth Trading lied to PayPal and told them that they had already refunded all of my money. For some reason, PayPal believed them and closed my case. Duluth Trading got away with stealing my money.
While it is stated that Duluth Trading Company clothing is made in the US, only a VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE is not MADE IN CHINA. I ordered ten varied pieces of clothing and waited over FIVE WEEKS with no delivery. In looking at their SHIPPING PROGRAM my clothing was still sitting in CHINA when I cancelled the order.
If more people would CANCEL THEIR ORDER after tolerating the wait for delivery, Duluths purchasing managers/logistics managers would get off their duffs and fix the problems.
I suggest CANCELLING YOUR ORDER after you feel that you have waited long enough-that way we will once and for all drive DULUTH OUT OF BUSINESS or for them to fix the issues.
CONSUMERS DESERVE BETTER TREATMENT THAN WHAT THEY ARE GETTING FROM DULUTH.
For years I've been a satisfied customer...until Christmas of 2023. The products are fine. The customer service is not what it once was. A simple return became a major ordeal. The communication from Duluth was poor and misleading. The refund took twice as long to receive as they said it would. Other items that I ordered were out of stock. I understand that sometimes happens but they took a long time to tell me it wasn't coming. If I ever find myself inside a Duluth store I may buy again, but not online.
I have been extremely satisfied with every product I have purchased from DTC but you definitely pay for it. The pants I purchased are their 40 grit pants which were cheaper than their firehouse pants but are super durable and comfortable. Buck naked boxer briefs are the best underwear I have ever worn (this includes over expensive underwear from express, and american eagle). Personally, I just wait for a sale since things are expensive but the quality and customer service is amazing.
Answer: It is a scam. They don't follow their own policies. Buy elsewhere.
Answer: They profess to have a NO BULL guarantee. That's it, no fine print. But there is fine print, well hidden on their site.
Answer: It was not difficult getting Customer Service. My return was denied twice by email, twice by phone and once by a supervisor. It was the 5th effort that finally got me through to a supervisor who gave me the credit.
Answer: My order has taken over SIX WEEKS AND STILL NOT DELIVERED. Most ALL PRODUCTS ARE MADE, STORED AND SHIPPED FROM CHINA. You always get what you pay for!
Answer: You should call them and explain. They should replace them. Last year, they would have replaced them. They are different now so I can't say what they will do. If they refuse, call back over and over again until you get a reasonable agent on the phone. Ask for a supervisor also, if needed.
