Soft Surroundings

I purchased a dress for a wedding with free shipping. The dress wasn't true to size and hung terribly on the right side. I started the return process and couldn't understand the woman on the other end of the phone. Every other word was cut off so I just hung up and called back. I decided to reorder in a larger size. When I tried it on it still hung terribly on the right side, the sleeves were cut wrong and hung down from my armpits a good 4 inches! I don't know what standards they are using for sizing but they aren't correct for petite women! I'd have to have either very fat arms or very big muscles for those sleeves to fit!

Very well made dresses, comforters and sheets. Incredible sales if you catch it right since they allow mailing list coupons to be used on top of their sales prices. Items quickly shipped and usually have arrived about 10 days later, although sometimes in separate packages.

I am shocked at the poor reviews and question if they are real. Never had an issue with Soft Surroundings. If I had to say something critical it would be their size runs large.

Their shopping services are so outdated….
Product sizes are off and overpriced.
Returns require filling out paper forms ….
Called customer service, reached India, asked my question three times … in reference to status of return. Answer was " you will get an email "
Finally got information after sending an email.
They have lost this customer.
On line shopping made difficult. Not up to current standards.

I wanted to order an item online and it was stated that it was non-returnable and therefore non-refundable! There is no excuse for this especially for clothing where sizes can vary so quickly according to style…you can't always go by the sizing chart! This outdated policy should be changed!

Although over priced, I really do like soft surroundings clothing. It fits well and fits true to size and is very flattering. However, they are very slow to get things to you, and even slower- if that's possible- to refund you when you return something. I returned two items two weeks ago, and I am still waiting for my credit card to be credited. I called them, and they said it could be another few weeks before they get my account credited. That is just unacceptable. As far as I'm concerned, and I will not order from them again.

I purchased two dresses online from Soft Surroundings. Unfortunately, neither of them fit. I returned them and they received them on September 11,2023. I am still waiting for my refund. I have made several calls and there have been many apologies but no refund. Each time, I'm told to wait 3 to 5 days more. The cost of their clothes is high and waiting a month for a refund is unacceptable. I will not be ordering from them again. No other company that I order from that have similar prices and clothing styles have this problem. I will be leaning heavily on Loft, and JJill in the future.

I love Soft Surrounding merchandise. I have shopped there almost exclusively for several years.
I will not be shopping there in the future as they go entirely to mail order - the absolute weakest part of their business. I have tried to order items on line to be mailed to me. That is not working and they do not care - if their customer service is an example of their future service. Can no longer trust them.
They WERE a great company.

I have been trying for over 4 years to get this horrible company to stop sending me catalogues. They come at least every month, sometimes more. I have written, emailed, called numerous times, to no avail. They have promised many times that I won't get another catalogue, but sure enough, they keep on coming. What a sad, sad thing for our planet. What a horrid company.

Was hired by the their display group a few years ago - back when they were a strong business. Danny B and specially Mindy G who ran the display group were both unprofessional and basically full of themselves. Store associates were frightened of these two, specially Mindy G - with her evil eye stares. They stole ideas and yelled at me in a conference room when confronted - stated that if I didn't like it, there would be many who would be glad to take my place. Not surprised that both lost their jobs and now the store is out of business and I'm still running mine.

I have not even received my item yet but was ordered 6 days ago and still says expected livery 10/17. Had I know this I would never have ordered from this dinasour company. I really hope I like the item because I can't imagine the nightmare of a return. My 1st and last time shopping this company. Too many great places to shop! And on top of that they charge for this rediculous slow shipping. Most companies offer free shipping. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.

Why is it taking such a long time to process my refund. The order was placed and returned in mid September. It is now the end of October. No refund. They took the payment quickly. What is the hold up. Unprofessional.never again.

So, I ordered a top at a wonderful sale price however I never received it at SS claimed there was a stock issue so cancelled my order. I went on the website and sure enough the item was available. I then called and asked if they would reinstate my order. They said no. I asked if size were the issue I would accept a smaller size. Again no! I was hung up on. I called again and spoke with a gentleman who worked with me and said he would change the size and I would receive a confirmation email. That never happened either. I sent another email last night and again today, I am told to place a new order. Shame on Soft Surroundings. Do they not realize that they are not the only manufacturers of like product!

I have bought several blouses on clearance at a Soft Surroundings store. They were $100 on sale for $50. They were beautiful they washed up with no wrinkles and clearly well-made blouses. I recently bought two blouses at softsurroundings.com. I assumed they were the same company, but given what I received I'm not so sure. These blouses were also $100 before markdown. So I expected quality. As soon as I got them. I washed them in cold water and hung them to dry. What I got was a mass of wrinkles. So I just spent a half an hour, ironing, blouses which for that quality I should not be doing. So now I am disappointed, they are very pretty blouses but due to the wrinkly factor I don't think they deserved $100 price tag

Bought 2 tops for the first time from Soft Surroundings. They didn't fit. My credit took too long and was $20 less than total cost due to their shipping fees and $7.95 return shipping label fee! Will never be shopping with them again!

Two weeks ago I ordered a bamboo quilt and matching pillow cases. Over $400. Still don't have it. It seems to be flying all over the midwest via FedEx. Stuck (more likely lost) in West Virginia at the FedEx hub. Customer service was zero help. In fact she just said have a nice day and hung up. They must get a lot of complaints.

I took advantage of their end of year sale and ordered some beauty products. Two of the items I received were used. Eye cream is more than half empty ( picture attached) the face oil was used as well but the package is black so you can't see. Very poor customer service when I called in. I will not shop again at soft surroundings again. If I ant used product I can buy it off eBay or fb market for peanuts, besides it's very unsanitary. Will definitely not shop there again. Because of very poor customer service they might not stay in business for too long. I worked retail for almost 30 years and this is unacceptable.

What a disaster! Saw beautiful clothing come across my Insta-feed - foolishly clicked through to the website and DIDN'T do my research on this company before ordering. The clothing eventually arrived not as described or shown in photos - overpriced shipping (who even charges shipping anymore?) AND I needed to pay for my return. Stay away!

I'd always liked the look of Soft Surroundings merchandise but the item I ordered looked nothing like what was shown online. I'm not sure if it was the wrong item or not, but it didn't work for me and I sent it back, requesting a refund. It took them over a month to acknowledge my return and send me an email that they would start the credit process. They then deducted $14 from the refund for return shipping costs. Astonishing. Nothing about this experience was remotely positive and I won't order from them again.

I ordered two items in November. I received one, the other was back ordered and said to be shipping in January. The item arrived in March, well past the intended fall/winter season. I requested a refund and waived return fees. The rep obliged. When I received my refund, it was short by approximately $25. I called, thinking it was an error. Nope. The explanation: the charge for the item shipped in November was not the full price, even though it was the amount stated on the order. Who does business like this and retroactively changes a price? Isn't that illegal?
