“Overcharged and they won't do anything.”

I can't even rate the quality as I will be returning everything. They showed discounts online and I purchased 2 shirts and a pair of pants for a total of about $157. I was charged $425. I contacted customer service and after 20 minutes, they are offering me a gift card for the difference. As IF I WOULD buy anything else from them after doing that... Terrible company, and customer service. DO NOT BUY!

Bought 4 shirts from them. Two of them ripped in the elbow sleeve. I was able to return them and get replacement ones sent out. The replacement ones ripped in the exact same spot and since it had been six months since my original purchase they would not be able to fix it. Bad quality

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I had ordered 4 shirts but the sizing was ridiculous, so I returned them for an alternative size, I was informed that one of the shirts had ran out so I received an eVoucher (I know ridiculous). I received 3 shirts back, again sizing wasn't right, I returned them again, this time I only received 2 shirts back with bad sizing again. Anyway, I had given up and thought I would just keep them as even if I refund, i would get a voucher. I contacted them regarding the missing shirt and was informed it was refunded to my account without my knowledge, having checked my bank account and the transaction number they provided, there was nothing. They kept gas lighting me and saying it was refunded and claimed their system doesn't send emails regarding refunds so I won't find any. They basically robbed me of $70 and refuse to take accountability. At this rate, they are literally a scam company, please try to avoid and just stick with the likes of Myers (yes they are more costly but quality, sizing and customer service is levels above.)

Charles T. – Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts Rep

Dear Mujtaba A,

Thank you for leaving your feedback with us and I'm sorry to hear that you've been unable to find the perfect size for your shirt in your first few attempts.

Firstly, we are absolutely not a scam company. We've been in business for almost 40 years now and we have hundreds of thousands of positive reviews on feefo that can only be submitted through authentication of an actual purchase. I'm sorry that your first experience with us wasn't what you expected.

When exchanging items, if an item isn't in stock, it's automatically refunded. In the original order, this was done back to your card because we had the information from the original purchase.

When it comes to the return of your first exchange order, due to the way in which the system works, we do not have a link to your payment information anymore and so cannot refund your shirt back to your card. This is why one shirt was refunded to a voucher.

As you've been clear that a refund is preferred, I've arranged for the second refund of $69.75, which is your EVoucher. This will be refunded within the next 48 hours and it will show back on your statement by next Tuesday. The other refund of $69.75 was done on the 14th of December and should be showing on your statement by now.

Regarding sizing, please note that not all retailers measure the same and some of our customers do not take fresh measurements and follow our unique sizing instructions before ordering. This is so very important to finding the right size from the get-go.

I'd encourage you to check your measurements again via our "how to measure for a CT shirt" video and then consult the CT sizing guides on the website for your best fit before considering your next exchange or order with us. Both resources can be found below:

DO NOT BUY FROM this rip off company.

Shirts way too large, and I lose more than 1/3 of purchase price with return!
Yes, the shirts arrived promptly, but the size was way off, way too large. I'm 63 years old, an attorney and have been wearing suits and dress to work and church all my adult life.
The killer is that on my $147.85 order I'll lose over $50 when and if the refund arrives.
RUN AWAY from this company!
I wish I'd have seen this website before I wasted time and money on this company's lame product and service.

Tip for consumers:
Their refund policy results is receipt of less than two-thirds of the original purchase price. Not worth the risk when my known size results in a shirt that is fart too large to wear. This company is a SCAM and a BAD JOKE.

Products used:
I sent all three shirts back; they were too large, and I didn't want to risk more hassles with an exchange.

Dear Preston,

I'm sorry to hear that your first order with us didn't quite arrive in the perfect size.

Firstly, our return fee is only $8.95 per box of items returned so I'm unsure as to how you've arrived loosing two thirds of your purchase for a return. The postage cost, naturally, is also not refunded.

The exception to this is if all the items are registered for a return within 14 calendar days since purchase. If this is the case, we'd be more than happy to arrange a postage refund as well.

Our return fee exists as a way to encourage our customers to work through their sizing issues with us and not just send them back for a refund and give up after one attempt.

Please note that not all retailers measure the same and some of our customers do not take fresh measurements and follow our unique sizing instructions before ordering.

This is so very important to finding the right size from the get-go. I'd encourage you to check your measurements again via our "how to measure for a CT shirt" video and then consult the CT sizing guides on the website for your best fit before processing your next order (should you decide to try again).

Both resources can be found below:

Measuring Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdSm-ebm7eE
Sizing Guide: https://www.charlestyrwhitt.com/us/sizing-guides?source=footer

Finally, our Customer Service Team is available by phone or live chat 18 hours a day to ensure that any questions you have (pre or post purchase) can be answered at your convenience.

If you'd like me to take a look at the status of your refund, please let me know your order number.

Best regards

I placed an order with Charles Tyrwhitt a few days before Christmas. I'm a business man and buy the majority of my shirts through the mail and usually order from Jos A Bank, Men's Warehouse and several other famous brands. But I thought that I would try #charlestyrwhitt. I received a tracking email that the shipment was coming from China. A month later the tracking site showed delivered. But, I never received the package and exchanged several emails with customer service and they mentioned that it could be another week before they respond back. Six weeks after the order. Highly frustrated and I would discourage anyone else from ordering.

I bought a knit on July 31,2023, but as of October 4,2023, it still hasn't arrived.

Therefore, even though I have repeatedly requested cancellations and refunds for orders through local services in Japan, they simply insist that they are "checking" and refuse to issue refunds.

Not only in Japan, but in any country in the world, taking money but not sending the product is called "fraud."

Confusing website, inability to enter my address properly for shipment, $13 extra for a pocket?, and after wasting 25 minutes trying to order, called customer service which was a further joke, a very bad one. This is a second rate outlet or cheaper Asian products that pretends to be British through and through. Don't be fooled! If you are reading this then you know to check reviews before wasting your time. I wish I had first...would have saved me over 35 minutes.

Dear Gary,

Thank you for leaving your feedback with us and I'm sorry to hear that you weren't impressed with our shirts.

We make all of our shirts to the highest standards using the best manufacturers worldwide, some of whom are in Asia.

Firstly regarding the pockets. We are a British company selling authentic British fashion and this means, no pocket by default.

We've been selling British fashion to hundreds of thousands of customers for over 40 years (so there's no pretending about it).

We understand however that many customers would benefit from having a pocket and so we offer the option to add one manually for those that are function, above fashion.

Our mission has always simply been to "make it easy for men to dress well" and I'm disappointed to hear that both our website, and Customer Service Team, have let us down in that regard.

If you'd like to return your shirts back to us, simply do so via our online return portal at www.ctshirts.com/rebound

Best regards
Team CT

My experience with Charles Tyrwhitt was extremely disappointing. I ordered a custom shirt from them, and they completely botched the sleeve length, making them way too short. What's even more frustrating is the inattentive and unhelpful customer service I encountered when I tried to address the issue. It's clear that they didn't take the time or care needed for a custom order, and their lack of responsiveness only added to the frustration. I would strongly advise against wasting your time and money on Charles Tyrwhitt if you're looking for quality custom clothing and good customer service.

Bought a few outfits and paid for expedited shipping. Product never shipped until guaranteed date, but it was blamed on shipping company. Package finally is out for delivery but says items were stolen and the package was returned to the sender once they talked with sender. Called company and asked to intercept package, nothing could be done and nothing offered for poor service. Save any headaches and don't order there.

I ordered 3 shirts from this company that were too small. I requested return label and sent items back on May 5th 2023. I realized that I put wrong shipping label on shirts and put the provided shipping label on an expensive watch (switched shipping labels). I had the shirts sent back to me from the watch company and resent the shirts back to Charles T. However, the original return that I sent to Charles T (watch) hasn't been returned to me even though they show that they have the package in warehouse. This has been going on for 6 months and never once received a return call or email as promised and I'm out an expensive broken watch that was needing to be returned to Watch company that I was charged for. Horrible communication and horrible return process. Don't order from this company!

I purchased a "Blue" custom made shirt, and following three or four washes I noticed that three of the panels had started to yellow. I contacted Customer services, who gave me a email address and told me to attach two photographs,. So far so good. Now after two months, three more phone calls, with "Oh haven't they contacted you yet Sir?" I now realise nothing is going to happen. I will never buy from them again. I will not stop them wasting their money sending me catalogues..

Hi John, I am so sorry that you have not received a response to your email, nor through the follow-up calls has any resolution been offered. I would be grateful if you could advise of the order number/receipt number that I can locate your account and reach out directly to work towards getting to the bottom of this.

Honestly, I love this company and I will continue to get my shirts from them because they have very high quality shirts that are fitted nicely. I am only taking two stars off because as a loyal customer they send you thank you gift certificates for $60. I went on to use that for socks, and then I see that the certificate doesn't cover shipping and handling, which would cost an extra $15 and cannot be covered by certificate. I HATE when companies do this. It is not a scam at all, as the small print does say it, but it sucks to get excited for a "gift" when it is really a discount. If you want to give a gift to your customers, then just give it NO strings attached. I'd rather have a $30 GIFT that can be used for all charges than a $60 discount where I still have to pay $15 for all I buy. I know from a sales and marketing perspective their method makes sense, but we customers really don't like the "shipping and handling" nonsense. That said I will continue to be a customer because their products and service are great. I will simply toss out any of their "gift" promotions.

Ordered three "No Iron" shirts on their $99 promo as the patterns looked interesting. Arrived promptly, but shirts from the factory were wrinkled in the plastic; not a good sign. Even more wrinkled out of the drier, and then still a bit wrinkled after ironing them. Wore one once, returned all three. Not up to snuff compared to the LL Bean and Lands End no iron shirts I usually wear. Disappointed.

Charles T. – Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts Rep

It is highly disappointing that your shirts arrived in a creased fashion. Our Non Iron Technology kicks in after the garment has been dried. When hung to cool, the creases should disappear, without need of ironing prior to wearing. We're sorry this wasn't your experience but hope, knowing this, you will have the confidence to give us another try.
With best wishes,
Charles Tyrwhitt

I ordered 6 shirts for about $264 - which were VERY POOR QUALITY fabric...I elected to return them (per their touted guarantee) and they B.S.'d me that I could only get store credit to buy more overpriced crap, claiming I had ordered them "personalized" because I chose the version with a pocket! I Protested that's B.S., as they didn't go pull shirts off the shelf and sew a pocket on...:(
I spent 103 minutes over 11 phone calls, several defective e-vouchers to finish spending the cost of the poor shirts I started with...
The VERY WORST online shopping experience in my life!
Stay the F' away from CTS!

Dear Kurt W.

We're sorry you have not found the shirts to your liking. Regrettably, as the shirts were altered, as per our clear terms and conditions regarding returning altered/customised items, these shirts would only be eligible for exchange or store credit. We are sorry that you were unaware of this. For the record, our shirts do not come with pockets attached, and each that are requested to have pockets attached to have pockets attached in our UK Warehouse. We hope you will choose to make use of our 6 month guarantee to exchange the shirts for items you would prefer and we are more than happy to assist in this matter.

Best Wishes,

Very dissatisfied with the process. Ordered my regular size and two of the three shirts arrived with a $19.21 shipping and handling charge attached. My 3 shirts for $89.00 turned out to cost $89.69 for two shirts and the third shirt was back ordered with more charges to be added to that. Tried to exchange the two shirts received and they were out of stock. Cancelled the entire order and requested a full refund. Lesson learned to stay away

I bought a shirt (my regular size) for $39.99 but was charged $120. Had to reach out to customer service to get it resolved but they charged additional $15 for shipping. The shirt was too long and loose; initiated a return and was charged $8 for return.
This is not a good service from Charles Tyrwhitt. I paid $22 for nothing.
Won't be buying again nor recommend anyone.

In the past, CT shirts have been exceptional in quality and looks. For my last order, I decided to add pockets to the 5 shirts for an additional $15. When they finally arrived, they looked terrible, and I was so disappointed. The pockets were puckered on each shirt, and the material was cheap. I spoke with a customer representative who told me to send them back for full refund. I did, and I just now received an evoucher for future purchases! That's not a refund! I called to ask for an evoucher refund, but was denied. The company did not stand behind their promise and mislead the customer.

Dear Karen,

I'm sorry to hear that your recent purchase with us hasn't been a positive one.

Since your initial review I've passed these images over to our Tailoring Team for a closer look.

I'm sorry to say that they've advised that "the pockets are attached in the correct place, the pattern is matching and the thread as well. The stitching also looks appropriate"

Without more information about the order, such as the order number, I'm unable to view your account and look into this further.

If you'd like to update this review with your order number, I can take a look right away and see what we can do.

Best regards

Ordered 10 shirts that were sent and not what I ordered. Tried to return them but was told would only get a partial credit since they would not refund customization (pocket added to shirts). Spent 5 days trying to work it out since they incorrectly filled the order. Was told multiple times would receive a callback or some response. NONE. After 5 attempts to rectify the problem, I had to send the shirts back and dispute the order. This company may well have provided the worst customer experience I have ever experienced. And one would think for a first time customer with an order approaching $1000 they would have responded to their error in a different manner.

Tip for consumers:
Company really needs to improve their customer service and responsiveness along with adding some additional qualifying information in their return advertising.

Dear TW,

I'm sorry to hear that you've had such a poor experience with our service but thank you for rating our shipping, quality and value highly.

Typically we be able to look into this right away, figure out why these calls were not made and listen back to the call (if the order was placed by phone) to determine who's error it was. We can then just work on a resolution from there.

Here however I can see that we don't have any information that would lead me to your account and so I'm unable to look into this further.

This certainly isn't the level of service that we are known for as we take the quality of both products and service extremely seriously and are infinitely proud of both.

I hope that we can resolve this for you.

Don't let the photos trick you the quality is ok but not even as good as Jos A Bank as an example.

The worst part is SERVICE. So after paying full price I emailed that why the $99 dollar promo wasnt available to me. They said "oh so sorry we will issue a gift certificate..." etc etc. NONE NOTHING!

My advise: if you CAN NOT keep a promise to customer, don't do it its BAD business.

YES YOU MADE ONE SALE TO ME, ONLY ONE. BUT YOU LOST A LONG TERM CUSTOMER.

Ordered 4 shirts, realized they didn't fit. Then when I tried returning, was told by their virtual customer assistant rep, that because I hadn't selected the "Multi-currency" option (a toggle on the bottom of their web page), that they wouldn't be able to send me a return label (?) So had to pay the return shipping and duty! They say their return policy is hassle-free, but it's anything but.

Have ordered at least 12 shirts over the past few years. Always buy on clearance or with coupon. Always get email confirmation and delivery as promised. Only interacted with customer service once and was not disappointed. Shirts seem. To be of good quality but all fits are cut too large for me. Take them to a tailor in Brooklyn and he recuts tm for about $25.00 and they. Fit better than made to. Order.

Phone rep seemed confused or incompetent. Return/exchange policies awful and overpriced (they appear to overcharge for return shipping so it goes into their coffers). "The shirts fit a man that is 6 feet tall." That's a quote from CT rep. I asked about taller sizes and he said the shirts do not fit anyone taller than 6 feet.

If you're reading this wondering if you should buy shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt, please don't! If your package is lost in any way, CT will not help you resolve it. Because the packages go overseas, USPS tracking and resolution methods don't work. You're dependent on CT to help, and they don't help. This is one of the best cases of caveat emptor - if you don't mind rolling the dice and maybe getting your shirts, maybe not, and being out a couple hundred dollars, then CT is your game! Otherwise, please protect yourself and don't do business with CT.

Also be aware that all their customer service reps are liars. Of note, Keir Lockyer-Webb is particularly adept at obfuscation. If you call or email, there's no recourse - don't expect any action from them. In short, if there's a problem, you're screwed. You're best off to take it up with your credit card company.

Writing this final review 5 full months after returning a package for a refund and never receiving it. Best of luck to you!

DON'T BUY for them! I made a purchase, was charged $15 for shipping, shirts came, didn't fit at all, way to loose even for their super skinny fit. I decided to return them, and was charged $9 for the return, and was told the shipping was actually $16 because difference in currency! WTF! So I was out $25 for a giving them a try, what a mistake!
