Terrible Return Policy
January 5, 2022

Zara has one of the worst return policies I've ever seen. They were not flexible with Christmas item exchanges if a different size was needed (past the 30 day return policy). Now I own a lot of clothing items that don't fit whatsoever. Another terrible rule is if the item was bought in the store, it can't be returned online. I don't live near a Zara but now I have to make a road trip just to return any in store items! Absolutely ridiculous and I won't be shopping here again. Have a more flexible policy if you want to keep customers!

Cheap Workmanship
December 31, 2022

Purchased two items there. A pair of pants and a black top. Disappointed. The materials for both items are cheap. Workmanship is cheap also. Lines ridiculously long to pay. Cold employees. Never again.

Stood in line for 30 minutes to make a return with only three people ahead of me. The two ladies that were running the return registers talked to each other the entire time never once speaking to the customers, except to tell them that their receipt would be in their email. Not a hello, not a question as to why items are being returned, zero dialogue with customers. They just carried on a conversation between the two of them the entire time which also slowed the return process tremendously. Used to be one of my favorite stores. I can spend thousands elsewhere.

HOLES!
September 29, 2015

Bought t shirts from ZARA - First wearing/washing - holes! Cheap, cheap, cheap! Customer service is a joke. They do not stand behind anything! Shop at H&M, at least your clothes won't fall apart immediately!

Beware if you want to return
December 1, 2022

Zara used to be very good in customer service and generous on return policy. Now, the return takes over 30 days for them to accept the return and it would take another 14 days for them to refund money back. If you're not 110% sure in product, think twice before you buy.

I placed 2 orders. One on 30 May, Order number ******* and other on 5 June 2016, Order number *******. Items were missing. When I called customer service, the response was not professional and after repeated calls, I could get a refund. Not very professional. Think before you place the order. Better to pick up from store. At-least you know what you are being charged for.

Lost package
August 1, 2015

I never seen a seller in U.S. doesn't take care of lost package like Zara. Based on UPS tracking record, my package was delivered and left at front door. But someone stole it... I really really didn't get anything. I called Zara, they told me to talk with UPS. I called UPS, they said it is Zara's responsibility... They just kick the issue between each other.

Never seen any company deal with customer like this way.

Never Order Online
February 23, 2016

I've ordered a lot from Zara online and have been mostly happy, I had to send a few pieces back because they were too cheap-looking or shoddily made but no problems there. My last order however, they double charged me for an identical order and shipped one of them to a different address. I contacted them and they have accused me of lying, that obviously I ordered two of the exact same thing at the exact time and generously arranged to have them delivered to a stranger! I'm the Santa Claus of gold booties and silk dresses apparently! They're saying that since they show that all packages were successfully delivered they are innocent of any wrongdoing and I will not be issued a refund. Infuriating. I'm going to dispute the charges with my credit card company and see if they can help.

Zara has a store policy sucks! W/O receipt you can't get store credit or exchange. I called customer service no one can help. Don't shop at Zara shop else where. Store needs to be close completely shut down.

Ridiculous
April 16, 2016

Do NOT order from their online store at all costs. Avoid it like the plague! I've read the reviews prior to purchasing and made the mistake of giving Zara a chance.
I ordered 1 jacket at the end on March. It took 23 days to arrive at the store I wanted to pick it up at! 23 DAYS to ship across the country! It baffles me how I could have simultaneously ordered an item from Japan and it would have arrived faster!
Not only that I contacted customer service 3 times and the only response I got was "your request has been forwarded to the appropriate department."
What is wrong with this company's system, it clearly doesn't work at all.

I have shopped with Zara for years and have been a loyal/frequent customer. It infuriates me the amount of business and money I have spent with them for them to do nothing about a missing item in my package, except deny my claim. They simply took the word of the warehouse, with no proof. No video, no photo, no anything. The agent on the phone denied my request to speak to a manager or supervisor. Their response is they don't have one. How does this company operate? The worst part is that this isn't the first time this has happened, and you'd think they'd install cameras at the warehouse or something. Nope, instead, they don't take their customer's word or make it right. Instead, they steal my money/product. Zara is a greedy corporation.

Stood in line to exchange a few items. Long line one attendant at the desk. Manager said she couldnt help as it wasnt her role. Client behind me said this store in Chinook always has terrible attitudes and customer service.
So decided to return my stuff and not exchange.
Last time I shop at Zara. Minus 1 in customer service.

I bought a shirt that was 50% cotton and 50% polyester and it shrunk about 3 inches after I washed it. Apparently you are not supposed to dry ANY of their items and know what all the washing SYMBOLS mean on the label, because there are ZERO directions in English. So if this does happen to you and you are honest about what happened... well don't expect any money back! Come on ZARA. Stand behind what you sell. There is too much competition out there with better customer service. You should be worried. Count me out.

Ordered $200+ worth of clothing from Zara.com. They used a shipping company called "Lasership." Lasership tracking claims that they left the box by the front door of my apartment building in New York City. Great. That's basically the same thing as tossing the box in the middle of the street. I didn't receive the package, Lasership refuses to communicate with me, Zara could care less and refused to give me contact information for a manager so I could escalate the situation. Zara and Lasership are fraudulent. Beware.

Horrible return policy
January 19, 2018

We purchased a $260 leather coat for our son on 11/13 for Christmas. On Christmas day when he received it is was too small. We immediately ordered him the correct size and returned the wrong size jacket. We just received the returned jacket back refused because it was over 30 days since purchase! Are you kidding me? So... that means DO NOT ORDER Christmas presents before 12/5 or you are stuck with it. I now have 2 jackets...

HAs not get my order in 1 month and contacted zara.com several times. No update- they promised that they will look into that and let me know. After 72 hours still nothing... I feel like H&M way better in customer service.

Do not think I will shop there any more

Beyond horrible customer service. I have chatted and talked with 4 different customer service reps. None of them were able to help with basic tasks like issuing a refund for missing items. None of the reps seem to understand english. The chat sessions take an hour, they do not respond and leave you there for 5-10 minutes for each response. I will not buy at zara again! Terrible!

Worse experience I have ever had in my life. I just bought my son a coat, washed it once and ruined. I washed it in cold water and all the inside balled up. I didn't even dry it thank god! Probably would of went on fire! I messaged customer service for them to leave me hanging. Called 800 which asked for pics. It won't show in the pics so they escalated it to a different department. Got a email next day requesting pics. Called back 800 and guy says they need pics. I told him you can't see it in pics and it has to be touched. He still insists on pics. I ask for a supervisor who I'm told I have to wait THREE days for one to call me. All I want is to exchange the item. Mind you I just ordered two other coats for my other kids which will now be returned. Items are trash and so is customer service. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. RIP OFF

Very disappointed! It's not the first time they mess up my order! Called in waited 2 days nobody called me back, called again and was told that they will not ship my missing item or either refund me, because they shipped everything.
So I guess I'm lying? What? I just think it's not fair to paid for someone mistake. Very upset! So if you buy from them pray for not having a missing item, otherwise you will end up like feeling robbed!
