3 times with promises, it was all taken care of, NO e gift card for my granddaughter's Christmas, No problem with my cc paying for it. First they wanted verification from my cc company for me to get a number. Actually the cc co, never heard of such a thing and thought the site was a fraud. After 3 different attempts and promises, still no E Gift card! Never again with this outfit!

And then they just drop a random tweet to a link rather than giving everyone an opportunity to order a system and somehow manages to sell out within seconds. Definitely believe this was a PR stunt to drive traffic to their page and generate publicity online for their company. Very disappointed.

They have the best sales, and always promote some kind of shipping deal. It's safe, and there are free returns online! As far as I know, they have great trendsetting fashion, and pretty good customer service.

Urban $#*!s
June 16, 2015

They don't care about your business. Thier customer service is the worst. Don't bother with their online--they cancel your order for no reason. They ship things to the wrong address and then you call them to correct and they ship it to the wrong address again and again. Refuse to give refunds for their mistakes. Its like a company run by drug addled maniacs who don't care if they sell anything. Hippies.

I last ordered a dress from Urban for a dance at my school a week before the actual date. Knowing it might not fit right or look how I wanted it to I paid for express shipping. Not only did the dress not come within the time period it said it would, but the dress arrived a month and a half later! I do like Urban, but I would not suggest shopping on their online store. Terrible service.

If you live far from an urban outfitters like myself and decide to order online. DON'T. Just spend the extra and travel the distance. I have never had more hassle ordering online.

After seeing that there was a 75% off sale online I ordered three items of clothing. The cost came to £67. After three days I hadn't received any information about the despatch date or the delivery date. I only had information that my order had been received.

So I emailed them.

Their response was that I should receive an email a week later to tell me my despatch date (bearing in mind my order should have been with me at this point).

A week later I did receive an email.

To say my whole order had been cancelled.

I emailed them a very frustrating email as the clothing I bought were actually Christmas gifts for my sisters.

Looking on this site I can see I am not the only one.

Whatever you do, travel the distance or shop elsewhere.

Customer service and online ordering experience is APPALLING.
Absolutely horrible. It doesn't get worse than this.
I ordered a white resin deer head and print from them. A total of just over a hundred dollars. The deer head arrived shattered. I called customer service within a few minutes of receiving the damaged item and she told me to return it and then they would issue a replacement. I asked about the print while on the phone and she told me that it was back ordered but would be on it's way shortly. Monday morning I found an email in my inbox letting me know that they'd cancelled the print portion of my order. Just cancelled it. No reason why. Why was the order allowed to go through? Why was there nothing on the site that said it was back ordered? TERRIBLE. STAY AWAY.

Fraud Filter
November 30, 2017

I ordered a few items online on black friday, and about a day later received an email saying they needed to verify my order, to call a number. Just to be sure it wasn't a scam, I called Urban Outfitters normal customer service number, who told me to call the one given to me. When I called, the woman who helped me was very friendly and understanding, silly me had put my shipping address into the billing address information, which red flagged their fraud filter. All I had to do was give her some of my information and they shipped my package the next day! It's very nice to know that they check for fraud and are so understanding when you make a human error on the most hectic christmas gift buying day of the year.

Never delivered
December 23, 2020

I ordered two weeks ago. Got a text from courier saying they were trying to deliver but couldn't find the address. I verified the address and he stated that was not the address on packet and he didn't deliver to my area so he would have to contact someone else to deliver it. That was a week ago still no package. I get a text yesterday saying my item had been delivered. Looked on porch and in mailbox... nothing. Contacted them and they said sometimes the courier marks packages delivered before they are actually delivered and to give it 48 hours. Who does that? Throughout the process I have called... sat on hold 49 mins and then chatted with 3 different agents. No package, no one cares and my money is gone. First and last time ever ordering with them!

I ordered a simple top over a month ago, which on their website says "pending" so I can not track it there. Upon looking back in my emails they gave me an odd tracking number from some company that ships, but no company like USPS, UPS or DHL... but someone I never heard of. When looking on that website it just says delayed. After being on hold for over an hour to get a UO representative she says she can't track it either. I would expect a major retailer to be better than this with shipping. Random people on Ebay ship within 2 or 3 days with no problem but Urban Outfitters can't?

I recently ordered 2 items from their online store. I got both in record time, and, they were amazing quality, I got a burnout tank for $2.99 and a summer dress for $9.99! Their online sales are AMAZING! When I ordered, all of their sale items were another 50% off the sale price! The shipping is quite cheap, if not free. I will definitely be ordering from them again sometime soon.

One of the worst companies when it comes to customer service. I can see that im not the only one they messed up the order on. I cant believe companies with this kind of customer service actually exist. I will make sure to tell everyone I know about what a terrible experience i have had with them.

Awful awful awful.
August 12, 2020

I ordered something from them and it did not come (although it showed as having come to my residence). I opened several help tickets, and each said someone would contact me from the lost goods department where the matter was being investigated from. I wrote several times, and each time I was told 24-72 hours someone would contact me. 3 weeks later no one has gotten back to me.

I was overcharged nearly $200 for my order. My request for a refund was fair and reasonable. I included screenshots and clearly explained what had happened in my correspondence with the support team. I needed to speak with 8 different consultants (many of whom clearly did not read/understand my emails) The consultants were rude and unapologetic and it took 24 days to receive my refund.

I never received my order and after talking with customer service they basically said too bad. So I'm out $70 and will never order from here again. After reading reviews here, I see it's a common problem. They ship with lasership where it's basically a coin toss if your package gets delivered. Dont take the chance, just dont order from here.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE
January 15, 2018

As you can see with other reviews, the customer service is awful. THEY screwed up my order 2x i returned both wrong items and their saying they only received one back, they were packaged TOGETHER! Which is now error number three. Listen to the best part, they tried to charge me for one of them and it declined so now my account is on freeze due to their countless errors! WHAT! Beside that fact when i call everyone is clueless.

I made an order on the 23 of November and 3 weeks later i still have not received my order. I contacted them and they said my package was lost so they filed a refund request and said that I will receive an email in the next 48 hours. I wait 1 week and still no message. I contact them again and they tell me i should wait another 48 hours.

Horrible customer service. DO NOT order online. It is SCAM! They take your money before your order is even shipped!

I have ordered from them multiple times and had SUCH good experiences. Always a speedy response and willing to help I've had to redirect my packages, replace items, etc all with no trouble. So kind and willing to go above and beyond - the negative reviews on her disappoint me as I have never had a problem - I consider them to have the best customer service out there!

I ordered a beautiful (I think because I obviously I haven't gotten it) mirror, that was NOT cheap and the product kept getting back-ordered. Once to June, and again they just let me know it would be in August. Honestly, just say you're out of stock of the item. Wont be purchasing furniture from them again. Unfortunate, one of my favorite stores.
