I never thought Gilt would sell counterfeit goods. I've been a loyal customer for a long time and I recently purchased Uggs which I have the exact same pair already. They arrived and I'm utterly shocked and disappointed. There are about 4 Ugg logos on a boot and none of them has the registered R where my old pairs have registered R on every logo. And these pairs from Gilt feel cheap and light and much stiffer fur and the color is a little off too. Different hue of tan if that make sense.
I received damaged stud earrings from Gilt, via Eye Candy LA. This was due to Eye Candy improperly packaging them for shipment. If they had only boxed them!? Gilt handled my issue immediately sending a free return shipping label. They have great customer service
Gilt sold me a Versace scarf that I discovered was not authentic after I tried to resell it online on a consignment website. I've contacted Gilt and they refuse to issue a refund. Buyer beware of inauthentic products from gilt.com.
1st time, they sent me the wrong item. They've now twice yanked the replacement due to "issues with the vendor" without offer of substitute or incentive. Cancelling my account. Still waiting after nearly a month for two other pending orders.
I purchased a coat from gilt that was never delivered, company was immediately notified, customer service requested that I file a police report (which I did) in order to be reimbursed, and the company still refused to reimburse me. They are untrustworthy. But at your own risk!
This is a fun site. It seems that there are great deals to be had. But I ordered an oriental style rug described as 100% wool. When it arrived it was almost threadbare, of poor quality and non-returnable. Won't do that again.
Some good finds, but slow delivery. You really never know when you are going to get an item. I'm angry at the moment because I just received jeans, clearly with creases that shown they were worn already. Of course not returnable.
No international customer service reps to speak with! I called to return my $600 Chloe boots as they were too small and got an email days later saying sorry final sale! Do not buy from this site terrible company. Scammers!
I stopped shopping at Gilt.com because of the exchange rate.
They have good deals but when I consider exchange rate, shipping, tax and duties etc, then it ends up being pretty much the same as retail price in Canada. Zulily made Canadian site. Why Gilt isn't making one?
Gilt sent me incorrect item /unordered merchandise! It's took days to reply on my email. Horrible customer service and unprofessional warehouse job! I don't recommend this company, most of the merchandises are "Final sale" and impossible to return.
They still don't give you great service on returns. It always costs unless you want a credit with them =$10.00! I do like their products and shop there all the time. Good deal on shipping if you plan to buy more than once in 30 days-otherwise you can pay $10.00 for one little item. Still worth looking at as there quality is fantastic.
Great shopping experience, I contacted customer support to report a damaged merchandise, they contacted me within 24 hours and refund my money without questions or hesitations. I went back and purchased it again fortunately it was not sold out. Awesome service Gilt you guys rock
Unbelievably quick response to a damaged shipment. Solved the issue, and though there are not any of the item in stock now, the customer service rep Maureen placed them on my wish list in case more come into inventory!
I have always had a great experience shopping here. Authentic product for discounted prices. They use bargain basement shipping, so you have to keep track of your packages... but they do send emails when the package is out for delivery, so pay attention! Return process is easy. Love this company!
I ordered a pair of earrings. One arrived with a missing crystal. Gilt refused any exchange or refund insisting that it has passed the return period. The order was placed in late May and arrived in late June. I did not notice it until early Sept. Indeed my mistake for not checking it carefully. But even if the crystal has fallen off within the first 2 months, I should still think the retailer is responsible, at least for facilitating a complaint with the supplier. The earrings cost close to $200 as well. Besides, on their international help page, there is no time frame specified for returning damaged goods.
Unfortunately, I had to give at least one star to submit this review. Gilt deserves ZERO. Returned an item because color looked nothing like pictured. Gilt received return 8-13-20 and they never refunded me payment. They gave one excuse after the other and kept saying 7-10 business days. I filed complaint through PayPal and they secured my refund today, 9-11-20. If you work hard for your money, and you probably do, don't do business with Gilt. Their customer service is nonexistent.
I have only ordered two items from this site. The first item was an Ali Roe dress for $100 -- in the picture described for a 5'9 person, I am 5'11. It didn't even reach my bottom." I then ordered oxford flats for 50 dollars. Again not happy, they arrived today and look like they've been worn the wooden sole is chipped and the leather has creases. Again I will have to return this and pay for shipping so I'm basically negative -10$ and to further infuriate me. They claim it's the cheapest price. Well untrue as DSW is selling the same shoe online for $19.99 in more colors with free shipping! Very dissatisfied.
Unless you want to lose money, don't ever shop at Gilt! They false advertise, sell items well over their retail price and don't resolve customer issues. This company is a joke.
They advertised a Balenciaga handbag as $999 on sale from $1325. It turns out that the bag's retail price is $785. I submitted proof (Balenciaga online sent me an email stating this bag is $785) along with pictures, dimensions, and links from other retailers. Gilt's response has been "we cannot match that sale price".
My sister wants to purchase a necklace from them and I told her not to buy anything from Gilt! It is now my mission to tell everyone about this horrible company who should not spend one more day in business.
Gilt is a treasure trove for luxury fashion enthusiasts. The discounts on high-end brands are impressive, and the website's layout makes it easy to navigate. I've found stunning designer pieces at a fraction of their original price. However, be prepared to act quickly, as some items sell out fast. Shipping can sometimes be a tad slow, but the quality of items is consistently top-notch. Gilt's flash sales are addictive, and I've had more positive experiences than not. If you're willing to hunt for your next luxury steal, Gilt is definitely worth exploring.
For years I rarely shopped elsewhere--loved the merchandise, the service and Noir benefits. Then in Feb. Noticed new $9.50 restocking fee on each returned item. Really? NEVER seen anything like that--runs completely counter to all I loved about Gilt--good quality, good discounts, easy returns. I emailed about the fee, which btw had been stealthily slipped into the policies, and was told twice that was the policy and nothing would be done. Haven't shopped there since and never will--if you're shopping online returns must be simple and free--can't believe they don't understand this. Too bad, used to be a great company.

Answer: DO NOT purchase from Gilt! They state they "stand behind the authenticity" of their products. THEY DO NOT! I paid $975.96 for a LV handbag. Later, (after the 30 day refund policy) it started falling apart. Found out it was a fake. Gilt will not exchange or do anything to correct this. It's horrible customer service.
