After leaving rue 21 after doing a little shopping christmas eve i realized i could not find my change from my previous purchase. I went back asking if there was anything they could do and the assistant manager by the name of Nick Belmontes was so helpful! He ended up getting me my missing money so i could finish christmas shopping. I am so thankful for him!

Order wrong
December 7, 2017

I purchased two pair of shoes from the after thanksgiving sale. When my order arrives it is only one pair of shoes and a pair of socks with dog faces on them. I called and told the rep what had happened and she told me that they could only refund my money but not ship me the product and charge me regular price for the shoe which was $35 instead of $15. I explained that my receipt in the box showed two pair of shoes and that I felt like I was bamboozled by them being that I had a pair of socks in the place of shoes. She didn't care just said she wound issue a refund. Never again will I order from them

Hi my name is Michayla. I was searching and searching all day for clothes and miss Leah from store 879 helped me out! She got me the correct size, I asked for her opinion and we got something better. I wasnt planning on spending that much but what she brought me was so cute I had to buy all of it! Thank you Leah for all your help!

Nope
June 22, 2017

I have spent over $90 in stores while on a trip to Vegas and it was good. I earned $40 in rue bucks that I could redeem online or in store, great. I went online because living in Hawaii, there is no store I could go to. I soon figured out that in order to redeem my $40 my purchase had to be $80 or more. Okay so I proceeded to make a purchase over $80 and I even went over $90 because there is a $50 minimum for free shipping. Little did I realize that they do not even ship to Hawaii or Alaska and so there is no way for me to redeem my rue bucks which expire in 3 days. Customer service was not helpful because of the time difference and after reading the other reviews about missing items and scams I think I am just gonna let the rue bucks expire because it is not even worth it.

Never again!
December 19, 2016

I ordered on 11/25/16 and as of today 12/19/16 my order is still in processing. I've called 5xs and have been given a different excuse and date each time. I asked for a refund and they said they only put a "hold" on my card. I checked with my bank and charges went through 11/25/16. These people should be shut down.

Horrible company
November 26, 2017

I have went to the one in Arundel mills and I don't know how they are still in business. The store is dirty, and messy. There's always clothes all over the floor, piles of messy clothes all over the place. I almost lost toe from stepping on a $#*!ing sensor. They shut down a few of these stores. I think they need to shut down the rest... especially the one in Arundel mills.

Shipping is horrible!
December 7, 2019

My order was supposed to come in on December 5,2019. I received the shipping confirmation number however, UPS never updated that it had shipped. So on December 5,2019. I reached out to Rue21 and they told me to wait the 10 days. I contacted UPS and they said they didn't know where the package was. So now Rue21 said all they can do is marked the package as stolen and refund me my money. The sad part is I got a really good deal on the promotion they had and I cannot get the same promotion again because they're "sold out"!

Snail pace
March 7, 2017

Soooo slow! The slowest online shoooig/receiving on the market! It'll be 2 weeks ago I ordered and it's finally almost here! Also there are a few items I've had tried ordering before that were out of stock hat are still showing they have sizes for on the website. Which also happened to be at a time when it was a free shipping deal, and not having those items in stock made me pay for shipping, overall I'm done trying to order online from here ever again!

I'm at Tanger Factory outlet in Georgia. Most every store here do military discounts but Rue21. This is a message from a veterans to all veterans and others that support veterans. This is memorial day weekend and for them to be one of the only stores here that don't support us and glad to tell me that. Hmm. So at this point they will never get my money or support and for everyone who reads this spread the word. If they can't support us then don't support them... Thanks!

I purchased 2 items online from the store in tyler, TX. Checked for availablity that stated both items were available at that store but when I arrived to pick up purchase the next day my items were not available. They refunded my money without even giving the courtesy to let me know my items were not at the there I found one item and they did not charge me the same price I paid online they charged me more... this was very frustrating and more of an inconvenience will not be shopping with you again poor customer service.

I ordered 2 different times within 2 weeks at a reasonable price and great sale going on for Christmas. Both orders came within a week with everything I ordered and good quality clothes. One of my items from one of my orders was out of stick but it got refunded back to my card! You should definitely check them out with cool clothes you wouldn't normally see

We ordered $140.00 worth of clothes on Black Friday. Rue 21 assured us they would arrive before Christmas. We called 5 times. On 12/23/2016 we called and Rue 21 said the order has been cancelled. Rue 21 you SUCK. We will never buy from you again!

Return policy
September 19, 2016

Tried to exchange item for different size of course they didnt have size i needed, so had to find out what daughter wants me to do, she says just return and get money back. Well there is the problem cause she lives out of town it was past 30 days so they will only do store credit and that is worthless when she lives 200 miles away. I guess i just threw away my money, contacted customer service and they wouldnt even respond. Shows how much they value my business

I needed help finding a sweater for my granddaughter and they helped me pick out the perfect one along with let me know that I could get a second one for half the price. They were very kind and I really enjoyed the employees there.

Horrible service
January 10, 2021

I've order multiple times from rue21 and recently I've had issues with the last 3 orders. Items I've purchased all of a sudden become out of stock yet you can still order the said item. This is the last time I will be ordering from rue21. Customer service is a joke and no help. Don't waste your time shopping with tthem you can go else where for better selection and better customer service.

If they screw up your order, they provide ZERO customer service. DO NOT TRUST Rue21 to send what you ordered! They scammed me out of my money, and never shipped product I ordered. Instead, they sent a pack of HUGE 40DD bras (super ugly plaid ones)
The customer service phone number on my $292.72 receipt offering customer service has a recording stating that they NO LONGER PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICER by phone! STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT THAT FOR WHICH YOU HAVE PAID FOR!

Rue21
June 25, 2015

I really like rue21 until I went shopping there on Tuesday. I was shopping for joggers and one of the employees told me that they were buy 1 get one $5. It was a really great deal we went to lunch and then we came back to rue21 and I grab the joggers I wanted and went to check out and they employee said the total was 36.52 I said no its $22.46 and she was like no. I was like there was a sign that said buy 1 get one $5 and even an employee told me that as well. The employee was being very snotty and she said " let me go get you a manager" the manger came and didn't make eye contact with me and just said
Oh, we do that a lot. And that's all so they both got mad because they already rang the stuff up and I didn't want the items.

Order canceled
December 8, 2019

Rue21 online site is a joke, canceled my Black Friday orders. Ridiculous. They should NOT allow shoppers to place orders if they can't fulfill. These are my gifts to colleagues. Now I don't have anything to give during Our Christmas party. By the way, the rating is 0, not 1. I have no option but to give 1.
