ModCloth used to be great
February 12, 2022

When I would order from ModCloth in the past it was always a wonderful experience but the quality of the products they sell has suffered tremendously, the products are cheaply made and marked up WAY too much for what you're getting. The dress sizes are incredibly inaccurate, clothing that is purported to be for plus sized women is absolutely inaccurate and for that reason I am having to return three items from their online store. Absolutely NO allowance for large chested women in their dresses, you used to be able to leave reviews on their site about this but I suppose they were getting too many poor/negative reviews. Save your money and spend it on quality clothing from reputable brands and save yourself the disappointment of their misleading marketing. There's no worse feeling in the world than being excited you found something beautiful for your body only to have your confidence shaken by the misrepresentation of the company's "size charts". It's a shame.

Hi, Raelynn. Thank you for your honest feedback. I apologize for any disappointment regarding sizing. Please rest assured that we remain committed, as we always have, to offering as many sizes as possible. We work hard to make clothing in fits that our customers will love and feel comfortable in, so if we fall short of that, we absolutely take it seriously. I will be sure to share your feedback about this with the appropriate teams. If you're ever in need of assistance with finding the right fit, our ModStylists are always happy to assist. You can reach them here: https://modcloth.com/pages/modstylists. You can absolutely still review your products, either through the email that is sent after you order, or through the product pages themselves on the website.

I loved 100% of my order
February 11, 2022

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a haul of ModCloth items. I've been thinking about ordering form this company since 2011 but was always scared. I ordered 12 things: two pairs of shoes, 2 skirts, 1 dress, 3 sweatshirts, and 4 blouses. I ordered it on 2/3 and got my order today, 2/9, so shipping was incredibly fast. Because of my excitement I started reading some reviews and was nervous bc of the horrible reviews that were left on here. I spent a lot of money on my order so I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm not sure what people are buying or why their shipping is so slow but my things came super fast. Then of course I started trying everything on and everything fit like a glove and was beautiful high quality material. I'm not sure what everyone else is talking about but my experience was very positive. I will be ordering again. I'm so excited for my new things! I love them.

I bought a sweater and two dresses there that I love, so it's not the products I have an issue with - it's the business practices. Customer service is impossible to get in touch with (Very long hold times, closed for lengthy holidays, and not available on the weekends when most working people have time to handle these things) so no way to get questions answered. And the return policy of 28 days is completely insufficient. Also, they measure that very specifically - from the time they ship out the item (it took 10 days for me to receive it once shipped so there's 10 days lost) to the time they receive it (we don't have control over shipping times which are obviously quite delayed these days). Their policies show disrespect for their customers and I've decided not to shop there again.

I used to love Modcloth. I truly don't know what happened. Now, the clothes are low quality, overpriced, and the return policy and shipping charges are a bit extreme ($12 to ship only one item! On top of that, if the item doesn't work out, not only do you lose out your $12 but. Another $5 is deducted from your return! Plus, you only have 28 days to get your return in the mail AND good luck trying to talk to any customer service rep--you'll be on hold for an hour!).
All in all, Modcloth is NOT worth your time or your money. I'm stuck with $70 merch credit. After I spend it, I'm done with Modcloth FOREVER

Hi, there. Thank you for reaching out with your honest feedback. I apologize for any disappointment regarding shipping and returns costs. We did have to make changes to those prices, due to higher internal costs. I understand your frustration, and will be sure to share that feedback with the appropriate teams. I also apologize for any trouble with getting in touch with our Customer Care team. They are a small group, so response times can be delayed, if they are experiencing high call volumes. If you were placed on hold for a long amount of time while in a call with a Customer Care Advocate, it sounds as though there may have been a connection issue - but I will be sure to share your experience with the appropriate teams, as well.

I purchased a couple items from ModCloth for my daughter for Christmas that I tried to return. According to the return policy returns are allowed within 28 days from when they were shipped. I missed it by a day and they would not allow my returns. Even after I informed them that it was a Xmas gift. All tags are attached. Items are in same condition as I received them.

I have been shopping here for many years. Was told they were bought out and the new company change their return policy. Sadly won't be shopping here again!

Been ordering since 2006, won't again
December 23, 2021

I've been ordering from ModCloth since I was in high school and I'm absolutely appalled at how bad it's gotten.

This past Black Friday, I placed an order for almost $300 worth of items, at about $150 thanks to Black Friday sales. Didn't hear a single peep out of them for nearly a month, until the week before Christmas, I get an email saying my order was refunded.

I ask customer service why this happened and I get ignored for two days.

I@ them on Twitter and get an immediate response to my customer service request -- and blocked by them on Twitter.

They tell me the order was returned to them so it was processed and refunded-- all except the $10 I paid for shipping.

I never got a shipping email. From all accounts, it looks like the order never left their building. It probably got lost somewhere and when they found it, instead of express shipping it to me AS THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE, they processed it as a return and decided to keep my shipping.

Nearly four weeks and I was not contacted about this once. I was not asked if I still wanted the order. Nothing. Not a peep.

I am understandably angry about this, but I am especially angry to find out that they then went and sold all the items in my order and now everything is unavailable.

Why does this make me extra angry?

BECAUSE I AM STILL GETTING ADS FOR THOSE ITEMS.

Two weeks later, and I am still getting ads telling me to buy the items back full price.

Now I have Christmas gifts that will be late to people. I tell them they need to refund my shipping and they do-- as a courtesy, they tell me.

You never shipped my stuff in the first place. You did not complete your end of the bargain. And now Customer Service Manager Aaron has the gall to tell me, "oh what a bummer?"

I have no faith in this company anymore. They clearly don't care about their customers. I can only assume this whole endeavor was just to make a quick buck by turning around and selling the items I ordered at full price. I've worked in e-commerce for over ten years and every company, from the smallest to worldwide will ALWAYS contact customers if a package didn't go out when it was supposed to. Not return it to the shelf and sell it, while pocketing the shipping.

The gall.

Overpriced
December 15, 2021

They do have some cute stuff, at a hefty price tag. I prefer "Unique Vintage" myself. That being said I have ordered from Modcloth before. The sizing range is all over the place. Even looking at sizing guide and taking my own measurements with a ribbon measure I can never seem to get the size right. It's like one thing will fit then the next is way off. Also I recently ordered two dresses during their cyber Monday/Black Friday sales. It said they shipped out a few weeks later, then a few days after that one of the dresses was refunded and is now sold out. Absolutely ridiculous. The other dress is stuck some place several days late and has no updated date for delivery. I just don't think they should take my order, hold my money for weeks then go oops this is actually not available.

Hi, Sydney. I'm very sorry for any disappointment regarding your recent experiences. In terms of size and fit, we know that our products can vary, since we receive items from many different brands. Please rest assured that we're always working to improve sizing with our own internal teams, as well as our external partners. If you ever need assistance with finding the right fit, our ModStylists (https://bit.ly/3sToArh) will be glad to help. I also apologize for the oversale within your recent order. This can happen during bigger sales, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when stock is turning over very quickly. Sometimes, the site does not catch up to our physical inventory right away, and there aren't as many of an item available as are showing on the site. I understand this is frustrating - please know that this is not intentional, and something we're always working to improve upon. I do hope you received your other item, but if not, please reach out to our Customer Care team (https://bit.ly/3EOyTzw), and they'll be glad to assist.

Sale items are final sale
November 28, 2021

Every item that I looked at in their Cyber Monday sale was final sale. How am I supposed to buy any type of clothing or shoe item with confidence from an online seller that won't let me return an item if I dislike the way it looks once I receive it. I could understand this policy if I was trying the item on in store and able to test the comfort and see how it fits my body but this is not the case. It is also shady that the notification that the item is final sale is the same color and size as the notification that it is a door buster deal, the words final sale blend in with everything else. I looked at several garmets before I noticed the final sale notification then went back to check the other things I had been looking at and low and behold it was all final sale.

Hi, Katie. I'm very sorry for any disappointment. Items that are heavily discounted are typically non-returnable. I understand that finding the right fit can be challenging, which is why our ModStylists are always happy to help before you buy. You can reach them here: https://modcloth.com/pages/modstylists. I will certainly share your feedback regarding this, as well as the site messaging, with the appropriate teams.

Customer experience has sharply declined
October 29, 2021

I used to love buying clothes from Modcloth - they would send a little packing list that would double as a return slip for anything you wanted to return, along with a prepaid stick-on label. In the last year or so, everything has changed. Now you pay for shipping both ways on a return, and the process feels purposefully designed to be convoluted to discourage returns (you're gonna have to dig through your emails to find an order number, try to resize a return label formatted for a label printer, print multiple pages that must be included...) The dress I bought was missing a button, so I'm out $15 in shipping costs for a dress I'll never wear. They've lost my business for good.

Regarding your dress, we always ask that you please reach out to our Customer Care team if you receive an item with damage or defect, so that they can take care of the issue, right away. If you haven't yet spoken with them, please give them a call at 888-495-9699, or chat with them by clicking the "M" icon at the bottom-right of any page you're browsing on the site.

I used to love Modcloth; I have so many pieces from them that I wear on a daily basis. The quality has never been perfect, but nothing in this last order fit well. All of the dresses I ordered were too big or too small, weren't proportioned right, had bad stitches, had no lining in lightweight fabrics, or had no pockets. I had to go out of my way to get them to issue me my refund, even though they've had my returned items for 12 days! Between this, the website losing customer information and faves, and no longer being able to exchange items instead of returning them, I will NEVER shop here again.

Used to be good
June 9, 2021

I'm really disappointed by the dive modcloth has taken over the last year. Their customer service used to be great and is now terrible. I have been trying to return a dress for weeks. No one has answered the phone, returned my emails, or responded to their live customer chat.
Additionally, the quality and style of their clothes has gone downhill while their prices are higher than ever.

Stole my money
February 12, 2021

A few years ago I bought a quilt that came frayed. Left a bad review that they took down because they "do not publish reviews for defective items". The only resolution they offered me was a 10% discount for my next purchase (I spent around $100 for this quilt). TERRIBLE customer service. I should have gotten a complete RETURN for a "defective" item. They didn't even offer to send me a replacement. No integrity with this company.

Hi, Sinead. I'm very sorry for any disappointing experience you had with us in the past. It is true that we do not publish reviews that include issues with damage, as those are issues that our Customer Care team needs to handle on a case-by-case basis. Typically, we do issue full refunds or replacements for damaged items, so I am unsure of why a discount would've been the solution for this particular order, but please rest assured that I will share this with the appropriate teams. If you would like our team to look into this particular issue, you can reach out to them at modcloth.com/help, from 9am-8pm ET, Monday-Friday, and 10am-6pm ET on Saturdays.

I ordered jeans. They sent me a really ugly dress that wasn't even my size. I emailed them to fix it and they said they were out of the jeans that I ordered now and will send me a shipping label for the dress but refused to send packaging and expect me to get packaging for it! Didn't offer anything to make up for the massive inconvenience! They finally gave me a "refund" and didn't even give all my money back!

Hi, Jillian. Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry for any disappointment with your order. Incorrect items being sent is not typical, but all of our orders are packaged by hand, so mistakes can occur. We are always happy to fix the issue, as best we can. I'm sorry that we did not have your item to re-send, and for any frustration that we sadly do not have raw packaging material that we are able to send out to customers. If your refund amount is incorrect, please inform our Customer Care team right away, and they will look into this for you, as we want to ensure that you are refunded the full amount you paid for the item you didn't receive. I apologize, again, for any inconvenience, and I will be sure to share your feedback with the appropriate teams.

Where's the vintage?
September 23, 2020

As someone who lived through the 60's and 70's I can tell you these are not vintage clothes. Yes, a very few of them like the wide leg jeans and a couple of tops do look like 70's fashion, but for someone who is looking for truly vintage clothing, this isn't it.

I love looking at the Modcloth website on a regular basis because I think the clothes, shoes, and accessories they have available are always super duper cute. But the clothes and shoes are way too expensive and I could never justify spending $65 on a sweater or $100+ on a non-formal dress. The accessories are always super cute, unique, and affordable though.

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE
August 21, 2019

I ordered from ModCloth the first time and they shipped the WRONG shoe SIZE. Upon receiving the order, I immediately contacted customer service regarding this issue. I received a response stating that my size was STILL IN STOCK and that they've shipped me the correct size. The following day, I received another email from Rachel, the customer care representative, stating that they again, made a mistake, and that my size was NOT available. Had ModCloth actually shipped the CORRECT SIZE initially, maybe it would not have run out of stock. To state that they still had my size and then retract that a day later added to the frustration.

The customer care rep stated that she can offer a 20% discount. 20%, really? I had a 15% off code as a new customer. That was not enough to quell my frustrations with them for their mistake. Additionally, they currently have a 30% dresses and sale items, but can't give me a 30% off due to their mistake. That is beyond me.

All I do is shop at online retailers, so I have plenty of experience with customer service. ModCloth does not care about keeping their customers satisfied. Stay away from this online retailer. I refuse to shop here ever again, even if they provide me with a 50% off code!

STAY AWAY!
