Horrible return nightmare
December 29, 2023

I had made a purchase online in mid November and had to return part of it…we don't have a Gymboree in our state, so I returned it to the Chidrens Place.that was December 5th and I have never received the reimbursement for the return.they have lied to me and now it is December 29 and I am told I have to wait another 3-5 days! I will probably never buy from this company and I would advise anyone to be careful with returns from them…they are liars!

Realize Kids' best Place
December 19, 2022

I think the tones and prints are adorable. I will be cautious with what I purchase. I realize Kids' Place claims Gymboree now and their stuff can be modest material too.

No accountability
November 9, 2022

The package has never arrived.
I contacted their customer service, was told to contact my financial institution.
Cute clothes but still not worth the headache dealing with my bank during dispute process.

I have been a gymboree fan for 10 years... but this is not the first time they messed up. Paid $20 to arrive by today according to their promise, but it missed the plane and is now arriving on Mon.

My credit card was charged with additional rush delivery fee but the items were not delivered. Called customer service but they said they can't help! Stay away and save your time and money.

The material being used is not what it use to be. I think the colors and prints are cute. I will be careful with what I buy. I know Children's Place owns Gymboree now and their stuff can be cheap material also.

I was excited when Gymboree announced their return. I loved the colors and designs of the previous Gymboree line. I am shocked at the poor quality of cloth used in the new line. Three of the dresses I ordered for my granddaughters appear to be made of inexpensive cotton sheet material. The fourth dress, a knit, hangs poorly. Also, the dresses are simply poorly cut. I am so disappointed.

Gymboree Doesnt Ship!
March 27, 2019

I placed an order 10 days ago. The money has pulled from my bank account but no sign of my order. It hasn't shipped or even been packaged to ship. You can't get in contact with this company by phone or email. I have tried everything to just find out where my package is. I'm frustrated and angry as I was a very loyal customer.

Charged but no order!
March 27, 2019

On March 17th I placed an order online during their last weekend for online orders. My banking account showed that there was a pending charge from Gymboree. Couple days later, I noticed that I haven't received a shipping notification. So I looked at my banking account and noticed that the charge was gone. I looked at the Gymboree order online, and it said order processing. So I decided to wait a few days. No changes, nothing. So I tried calling their customer service number. That number gave me a long automated message and then proceeded to tell me to call a different number for customer service. I called that other number and guess what, they said to call the other number that I just tried previously. You cannot email them, you cannot call them and apparently the only way to contact them is through a lawyer. So again I waited a couple more days. My husband advised me to contact my bank to have them cancel the charge if it posted. 2 days ago the charge posted on my bank account. Seeing that I still have not received any kind of shipping notification, I called my bank today to have this charge canceled. Unfortunately, it has already posted and gone through and now I would have to file a merchandise complaint. This could take 60 to 90 days to resolve. So I'm going to be even more patient then I should be, and we'll wait another five days for a shipping notification. If I don't get one, I will not only contact the bank but I will be contacting a lawyer. This is very fraudulent activity and extremely disappointing considering Gymboree is going out of business.

Scam Artists
March 26, 2019

If I could give them lower than 1 star, I would. I ordered from them over three weeks ago. PAID. But NOTHING. The order hasn't even shipped. I understand they're going out of business, but seriously. THIS IS WHY. Where the heck is my package? If you're not going to ship it, and LEAST give me my $100 back. This company deserves to be out of business.

Disappointed
December 16, 2018

Horrible customer service! Nearly 3 hours on the phone to TRY to get an order resolved. Gymboree is quick to process an online order and bill me but ships incomplete orders or doesn't process them at all. Shameful! Take your business elsewhere!

I realize the company needed to rebrand, however, I need to find a NEW children's store!
I have spent approximately $700.00 per visit and I shop 6 times a year for the last 12 years!

It has been an amazing ride, however, my youngest I shop for is 4 and the styles are no longer what we are looking for.

My 9 and 11 year olds are boys so we have moved on with them!

HOLY F&*^! Literally the WORST customer service EVER. I had an issue with a damaged gift card and I've been on the phone with them for 2 days trying to get it resolved. The people at the call center are the absolute worst and don't know what the hell they are doing. All they do is put you on hold a million times and argue with you. Screw this place.

I recently received an e-mail from Gymboree explaining that my package was undeliverable because of an incorrect address. This messagewas at least three weeks after the package should have arrived. My response to them is as follows: The reason that this was undeliverable was because your fill in form for ordering is not set up properly. There were not enough lines on the form to indicate a business address. Because the form was lacking in lines for information, I called your company to make sure that the business company would be indicated and repeated the entire address to a customer service individual. It was a long process. Imagine my dismay after trying both on line and by phone to get this birthday present there in time that it never arrived. It is now over two weeks overdue to a birthday child. I am especially irritated due to the fact that I spent at least forty five minutes on line and speaking with one of your representatives. There was nothing incorrect about the address, but as I have already indicated by phone the package should read: etc, etc.

I wish I too had seen these reviews before ordering online-that explains the great deals and free shipping. I ordered a few items for my daughters birthday (two weeks ahead) and unfortunately deliver is scheduled for two days after her bday. Ridiculous. Ill definitely shop retail store or go elsewhere in the future. The quality of Gymboree (especially outlets) has declined. Polo, Justice here I come.
