Waited one month for items only to be cancelled
December 27, 2022

After paying extra for priority shipping, I waited an entire month for another update. I had emailed about my order and about a week later they finally responded. They gave me 10% off my next purchase and said they are too busy to get orders out on time. I got an email a few days later saying my items were cancelled to "speed up the order process". Wtf does that even mean! Don't buy from this place, save your money and time- just go somewhere else.

Great first time experience
November 18, 2017

I stumbled upon this site while searching for a sold out pair of Gucci slides and was thrilled to find them on here. The price was great and there were no additional duties. The order shipped very fast and received it within a couple days. Will shop again!

Ordered an item on a Monday for express delivery (2 days as stated on the website)... come wednesday after two days of hassle verifying my credit card details (which are identical to my shipping details)... the order was cancelled without me being asked. Now I'm expected to order again but only using a different payment method (I don't know about you but I only have one credit card) then wait 3-4 days for payment verification (which I have to do by confirming a small initial amount charged I must verify with my bank), "0-2" days for processing, followed by "2-4" days for shipping...

I've ordered from Ssense many times before but I never will again. Pathetic customer service for a company selling $1,000 t-shirts.

Placed an order with them. Delivery time got delayed by over a week even though they advertised two day shipping. I told them I would be out of country so please cancel my order. Instead they shipped it after that conversation. Lo and behold, when I got back there was no package for me. Reached out to their customer service, which was beyond terrible. They had no notes to the file from our previous conversation, and each new rep would need to be explained the situation all over again. They claimed to escalate my request for refund, but of course denied it via email.

WHERE IS MY ORDER?!
December 27, 2022

Not sure what's happened to this company, they used to be great but things have changed drastically in the last few months. Placed an order Dec 13. Order contained Christmas gifts. It's 2 days AFTER Christmas and my order hasn't even shipped yet. Multiple emails to customer service have been completely fruitless. Each time a different customer service clerk answers your email with a pre-set, standardized respond that bares no relevant information and no projected ship date. And none of these agents actually work for Ssense, it's obviously an outsourced service that barely understands what Ssense actually is. This is the 3rd time in the last few months that orders take forever to ship, on one occasion my order actually was cancelled by Ssense two weeks after I placed it. Completely unacceptable and very frustrating!

First company without giving the choice charged stiff fee for 2-3 days express delivery. After a week I reached to customer services with no avail. Another week passed buy and no news. I wrote again. No answer. Only after I filed complaint to my credit card, I got an email that the item was not available. Return will be issued in 3-5 day. So here is the result - no item, waste of time and energy. No more shopping at the site!

First of all, they advertise like the are a European or Uk business.
Then I had to pay £33 to return to Canada!
5-7 days for a refund? Numerous emails ignored or fobbed off. NOw nearly 3 weeks later and nothing.
AVOID

Very bad customers service, wanted to place order and it's showing something went wrong please try again later. Keeps getting same messages all the time. Contacting customer service numerous times and they were mostly unhelpful. Very annoying people with no way of helping customers. It's better to take your business elsewhere.

Unmatched Customer Service
September 11, 2017

I had a complicated international order. The sales rep I worked with was extremely helpful and went above and beyond what I've ever experienced with any retail store. I'm hard to impress, but their customer service was truly unmatched. Love SSENSE!

Extremely reliable.
November 20, 2019

My experience was nothing less than perfect. I am very happy with both the service provided and a wonderful shipment process. I wish customs was factored in, but that's because they declare value at retail and are in Canada. Otherwise 10/10

20 days and still not shipped!
December 20, 2022

I placed an order 20 days ago thinking I had plenty of time to receive for Christmas. Bit no - still not shipped! No one to contact, emails returned unsent. Just generic, unhelpful bot responses. I used to love ordering from SSENSE but will never again. Beware!

False advertising
June 7, 2023

Purchased a bathrobe for over $180.00 USD and it arrives falling apart. Requested replacement or refund. They spun me over and over with their "customer care" via email for weeks. Sent receipt, sent 8 photos, (one below you will see pulls like this all over the robe), answered queries ie., no one wore it or washed it this is straight out of the box.
They practiced immoral and unethical ways with me and have essentially committed false advertising and fraud and thievery. Rotten people. Lousy product. Big rip off.

Worst customer service!
December 22, 2021

They closed their phone lines and emails are not being responded to! Their chat service is a joke! I waited 40 minutes in que and I got disconnected when there were 5 people ahead of me!
They have a 30 day return policy but my account indicates the item I bought three weeks ago is no longer eligible for a return!

Amazing website
June 15, 2017

I ordered a pair of the black camo rock stud Valentino's to Liverpool UK. I thought they would take over a week to come at least since they was travelling from Canada. Within 2 days I had them on my doorstep! Fantastic and quick delivery even though it was international shipping. Would highly recommend!

Placed an order for multiple shoes, almost the entire order was cancelled due to stock issues, fine. The two shoes that did arrive literally had holes in the outside box and each shoe box. I emailed about this with photos. They then email me back asking for way more photos, serial numbers and all kinds of stuff AFTER I already provided everything. They tried to fix this by giving me a 15% off coupon. I used the coupon and they cancelled two shoes from that order. No apology email, no trying to fix it. Nothing. I will never order from here again. They can't get their act together and don't even try. Screw them.

SSense is a joke
January 8, 2023

Ordered on December 14th in plenty of time for Christmas. An extremely small bag for 394.00 for my daughter. Received order confirmation. But then NOTHING. Nothing saying we can't ship. We are behind. Sorry for delay. No tracking. NOTHING. When I reach out they give canned replies. Order FINALLY showed up After the new year. They still have nothing to say except - basically- sorry it is late but glad it arrived. WHAT? What a joke! What a scam. I NEVER leave bad reviews, but this is too much. Oh, when I did get tracking after many complaints it was a false shipping number. And when I questioned it they said nothing. I cannot believe how they lie and do not care after taking $$$ from people. Disappointed and will never order again and I will spread the word!

SLOWWWW SHIPPING
August 6, 2017

The shipping is not as promised 3 days, they use Canada post 3 days (not even business days according to their description) However, it took a whole week time to be delivered. And when I called them to return the order, they refused my request and got denied. Worst customer service ever! So do not buy anything from them, just get the luxury items from italian e-commerce retailers, Farfetch, luisaviaroma, they offer much better customer service, provide faster shipping with no extra duties fee occurred as promised.

Hi Monica,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am sorry that you were disappointed with our shipping service.

Our shipping estimates do not include processing time, which is an additional 0-2 business days. With that said, we usually are able to get orders out within half a day under normal circumstances. If you are shipping to the US, we use DHL for orders $800 and under, which is 2 day shipping. If the order is over $800, we use Canada Post, for customs reasons. We always aim to improve our shipping service, and hope to provide faster shipping in the future.

Please don't hesitate to contact us directly if you have any questions or concerns.

Best regards,
SSENSE Customer Care
