“Soma Store 5405 - Awesome Customer Service”

Shelly and Juana are great! Their customer service is top notch. Every time I shop at the Highlands Store in Arlington I feel like I am visiting friends! They are helpful, but also let you just look around if you want.

“Poor quality & customer services I have ever experienced for $$ I paid.”

Received defective panties (2 out of 5). Has multiple holes in brown color and thread was off about 2 inches in white one. The worst part of that was I could not get replacement!. Multiple emails sent with the pictures of the defective items to customer services but NO REPLY! This is NOT THE FIRST TIME. It has happened few times in the past. I purchased at least 20 items in the past, sadly I will never buy anything from them again. Never.

Tip for consumers:
No refund or replacement. They offer full refund/replacement, however the customer services did not reply to my messages/request for replacement/request for refund. Useless. Ended up garbaging the defective items away with no refund/replacement.

First time placing an order and it appears they do not honor returns per the policy.
Horrible horrible, it's as you are forced to keep their product.

First time placing an order, followed the guidelines as to sizing and sadly none of the items received fit.
Apparently my items were not returnable, not even for an exchange.
Instead they offer 10% on your next purchase....ABSURD!!

I bought two of the cool night pajama sets. Ive only had them a little over a week or two. One already has a rip in the pants. They are my size and I just put them on and go to bed. I washed them in delicate since there are no instructions I've found on how to wash them. They were on sale so you can imagine if I paid full price how even more disappointed I would be. Also they do not keep me cool. I get hot at night and thought great I can sleep better. I'm better off in a thin halter tee and shorts. I expected more.

I needed a panty with no show panty lines and the boy short from Soma looked like the ones to try. I will not be wearing them. The boy short panties have a plastic lining on the bottom of the leg, I suppose to hold it in place, but unfortunately it doesn't work. The front of the legs ride and bunch up in the front, making it a visible lump through the pant. The back is seamless, but it's definitely not worth the money.

I purchase 4 bras and 1 Balconette at two different times, and in less then 6 months 4 of my bras under wire has cut the bra and popped out, which at that point the wire cut my breast. I'm so happy that at least the Balconette is still intact. I will never purchase a bra from this company ever again. Change the wire in your bras Soma.

Soma has the most comfortable bras period. I have tried all sorts of brands. They have the best in softness, comfort and actual sizes to fit real women. I cannot even wear anything else now. The underwear are the same the best materials for softness, and actually wearable all day comfort. If you have never tryed one u must! You will never want anything else!

Tip for consumers:
Measure using a soft plastic measuring tape for bra sizes they actually have a feature on some site to show your correct sizes. Awesome I was wearing the wrong size all my life!

This is the worst bra ever purchased! Spent a lot of money thinking I was buying higher quality only to have it fail not even six months later. Wire is poking through and jabbing me under my arms yet Customer service wants to give me a $25 off my next purchase! Never again! Keep your $25 and make better bras and a warning to anyone else looking at soma. Beware.

Bought 3 Vanishing 360 underwire bras in October 2022. Followed washing instructions to a tee. Today 6 months later noticed material on band separating.Appears fabric is glued together not stitched. Called customer service and was told over 60 days so sorry no refund of any kind. Will never buy anything from them again. You'd think they'd stand behind their products

I purchased online with Soma. I bought both panties and 1 bra. I purchased the panties during one of their promotions and the bra at full price ($60). Shopping online is a lengthy experience due to a poor setup of their site. The filters do not work so you have to go through every item to see if it's available in your size. It seems that you filter your size, which it doesn't know that the items are unavailable. You can't filter by style or by collections either, so why have this function on the site? The selections are limited and very few choices of colors because nothing is available but 1 or 2 colors and chances are not in your size. My order arrived quickly and I was satisfied with everything but the bra. It was nothing like the picture and was made of cheap ivory mesh (like a tinted net). It was the only bra in ivory, but almost all the panties were ivory based, so don't expect to match your bras and underwear! I returned the bra and found no substitute in the boutique, so my money was refunded.
I had another order which I had placed a day later and was a bit surprised by what I received. The medium panties were all different sizes and not 1 one was consistent, all were different sizes of mediums. A few of them looked nothing like the online picture. Two of their medium hipster cheekies were like reverse thongs (looked like a landing strip in the front), so I decided I wanted to return them and find something else in the same price. I contacted their customer service chat and the individual did not comprehend English well and had no idea what I wanted and did nothing to help assist me. She offered zero suggested options to exchange. I was also told that you cannot exchange items, and the only exchanges are for the exact same product- which I hated! Common sense would be that they process the return and offer different styles available that the customer may like (another sale item in the same promotion?) but this is not how they do business. You have to spend hours looking for something instead of someone assisting you despite asking for help. I gave up with the chat since all I received were canned responses and went to return the items at the boutique. The employees in the boutique didn't want to pull up my information and the return took awhile because they really didn't want to process it despite Soma stating you can return at the boutique. I asked for assistance to find a couple panties and was told they have none! There were bins of the sale items right there! I was going to look at the items, but changed my mind once the worker told me they had s change to their donation and rewards policy- claiming for your donations you can only spend them on bras. This is not true; I checked online and that's not the policy. I contacted customer service through email and explained the difficulties I had communicating with the chat representative, told them about the store experience, showed them the policy, asked what the policy is since I'm told online is not correct, and asked for assistance yet again. I received several emails from customer service, all with the exact canned responses! Not answering any questions or assisting me with my purchases. The emails were condescending and rude. I don't think Soma cares about customers or additional sales. I highly recommend doing business elsewhere; there's plenty of other bras and panties sold online for cheaper and better quality. I'm sure they'd be happy to boost their sales.

Tip for consumers:
The filter function for sale items is useless. You filter for size medium and you’re shown XL. Very time consuming.

Ordered their overpriced ($40) bras on Monday, they claimed it was made ready for USPS shipment by Wednesday. However, USPS Tracking doesn't reflect that they picked them up (it's now Friday). Given the bras are made in Sri Lanka, the least expensive country for manufacturer, it is likely that they cost Soma $2, which give them a 95% profit margin. With that kind of profit, they could have used Fedex to ship them. But no, they go with consistently unreliable USPS. Will my wife ever see those bras?

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy online!

I purchased new soma bras in March 2023. In May had to replace bc the underwire popped out in less than 2 months. Here we are in July, another 2 months and replacements bra underwire has now popped out. These bras have either a bad design flaw or awful manufacturing. And at basically $80 a pop, not cheap. So disappointing bc I love the bra, but the company basically tells you too bad, so sad if it breaks on day 61.

I started buying Soma bras about 12 years ago and was so impressed! I was blown away at the quality as the first two bras I bought lasted close to 5 years, which is unheard of for my size (44E). The last two times I have bought them, the quality has greatly reduced. The wire broke on my last two after wearing them for less than a year. I am not wearing them for activity - I sit at a desk all day. Also on the armpit side of the bra wire, because the coating on the end is so much thinner than it used to be, it cuts through the fabric and and stabs me in the armpit. I now coat them with layers of finger nail polish (polish solves a lot of problems in my life...Lol!) to reduce being jabbed repeatedly throughout my day. I will be looking for another brand the next time I need to drop 120$ on two bras

A pair of my vanishing edge panties developed a hole and I contacted customer service to ask about a replacement due to the quality issues. The customer service rep denied my request and offered an offensive 10% off another purchase. I will no longer buy Soma products

I was fitted at the store by a nice sales lady. I bought three full price bras. I wore the bra the next day after washing it and taking off the tags. The bra was a horrible fit and rode up constantly. It hurt my chest. I went to the online chat and asked to return all three bras because the fit was wrong. I was informed that the bra with the tag removed could not be returned. I said "you fitted me in store, but you don't stand by your fitting?" The associate just kept writing. "Sorry for your inconvenience, sorry for your inconvenience." The associate was rude and unhelpful. Never offered a solution other than a "one time $10 off my next purchase but only if I called it into their call center instead of ordering online." NO THANKS SOMA! It was a frustrating and expensive experience and I will never buy from this company again.

Back in 2018, I loved their bras. Lasted way longer than normal and the comfiest around. Last year? I bought two in September that stopped fitting by December and the two I bought in December, one got a hole in it barely outside of the return window and they gave me a pathetic 15% coupon to get me to shut up. Never going back to them.

In the not too distant past, SOMA was my favorite place to buy bras and panties. They quit making panties that lasted and were well-made. They even quit making the Sensuous Lace panties that match the Sensuous Lace bras (which I have a LOT of in various colors.) I always bought matching panties, but when I wanted some new ones I found out they aren't carrying them anymore and now I can't match my bras right. The other panties that have lace rip and get holes easily- even by taking them on and off. I wouldn't recommend wasting money on them unless you want holy underwear.

Tip for consumers:
The quality has changed. I've only bought online in the last 5 years, but when I could go into the physical store the employees were very nice and the quality of their items was very good. I'm not sure what has happened to the quality, but it's not what it used to be. I do plan to go back to the physical store in the mall when I go to that town again and see how it is inside the store.

Make that a negative star rating! No, No and NO! DO NOT purchased from this establishment! So disappointed - obviously the staff that used to work here are no longer. Awful, ZERO customer service, at least not after your money is spent. Not sure, but if it was the manager that spoke to me, someone, anyone in upper management needs to go back over what it means to provide customer service. Unbelievable, Unhelpful and Uncaring! So SAD, really thought the ladies in my family had found a new lingerie shop, since the Maddox Shop had closed down, we were SO wrong!

I introduced the women in my family to Soma and months ago at the Plano, TX location the staff was attentive. That is SO not the case now. My mother who does not ever really get out had used a bra she bought there maybe 4 times, she was talked into getting a certain size, which was obviously too big. When we took it back to get replacement, we were met with an interrupting, rude and unwavering, “there is nothing we can do for you!” I believe it was the manager. Make that a negative star rating! no, No and NO! DO NOT purchased from this establishment! So disappointed - obviously the staff that used to work here are no longer.

Love their pjs, but do yourself a favor &shop in person. Quality control sucks. My pjs had a quality control issue & my review stating that it was a quality control issue was rejected & deleted on the ground that it was a "customer service" issue. Also don't bother reaching out to them by email. I emailed them thinking pics would be useful & received a response days later saying that I needed to call or chat with them in order to get help.

I have been a passionate fan of SOMA's Cool Nights pajamas and Wkend collections since May 2018. Not only is the fabric absolutely luxurious, but it also offers gorgeous/beautiful prints. Even better - the colors and prints of bottoms and tops enable unlimited interchangeability! Of course, that requires several bottoms and tops - the more the better! Honestly, sometimes it's hard to get out of bed in the morning because of how wonderful this fabric feels against my skin!

Ordered 6 bras from them. Returned 3 on June 3rd. I have used Afterpay as a payment method. No credit has been applied yet. Have called numerous times, have emailed, have had a live chat & have tried doing a live chat this whole past week. I have delayed my last payment to see if I get any response. This company is horrible with after sales service, customer care or anything for that matter! Such a crying shame that a company can be so callous!
