“They definitely don't make these socks like they used to!”

The new Hanes socks are cheaply made. Definitely very thin, you can literally see right through them. I'm give this 12 pack of socks away to the community center. Will NEVER waste my money on Hanes again!

Ive had these two styles of hanes underwear for 4-10 years. What i recieved after ordering is absolute garbage. The seams are trash and the fabric is getting holes my old underwear took 4y to get in 3 washes. The stitching around the legs is horrible and the elastic chafes and rashes meaning i spent $30 for some shop rags. The waistband is cheaper as well and is already worn out with minimal use. Buy another brand.

Hanes used to be good quality. They have gone downhill for a while now. Socks are garbage. Sizes are way to small than they say. I have size 8 shoe and I have to buy big and tall size. They are sized for tiny feet. Also, price has gotten too high for the quality.

My Father is 75 and has worn Hanes Tagless Briefs forever. Other family members also have worn Hanes tagless underwear for years. My Father recently opened a package of 5 tagless briefs and it was the most disgusting thing we have ever seen. There was some sort of slime in the bag and all 5 pairs were stained all over which actually resembles vomit and other bloody fluid stains. We almost vomited ourselves looking at it. See photos attached. This has never happened to any of us in our lifetime. I called customer service but because the product was purchased over 90 days ago they were unwilling to even listen to me. I still have the packaging but they were uninterested in making good on this. We are very disappointed. Who would think cotton underwear would have a 90 day warranty when it was still brand new in the package. I have packages of socks and underwear from the early 90s that were never opened and they are fine. The guy on the customer service line tried to blame us for the situation being that my Father had the underwear in his draw. He's had the same underwear draw literally for 50 years and nothing like this has ever occurred before. As I said Hanes was not interested in making this right, looking at any of my photos and or taking any information from the packaging. We've given them so much business over the years but no more. Unfortunately I do not have the original receipt. We will switch to Fruit of the Loom or another brand. Hanes obviously doesn't really care about their customers.

I purchased Men's underwear and lounge/sleep wear pants and shirt and the sizes are not even close. The elastic is pathetic. I have never had as many issues with an order as I had with this Hanes order ******8620. After spending $83.09 I will never purchase any of their clothing ever again! I will be placing this entire order in the trash!

On November 3 of 2021 I went to Walmart in Mulberry and bought a 10 pack of Hanes boxer briefs underwear extra-large. After just a few hours of wearing the underwear I had huge blisters all over the area the underwear touched. They burnt the skin, it blistered and even in some places I was bleeding. I have pictures to prove it. Hanes refuse to talk to me. Front, back, side and underneath. It's time to get a lawyer! The rest of the pictures I cannot show.

Your website plays pricing games and you know this. It changed the pricing 3 times. Also it was extremely difficult to get the 15% off. Also it was free shipping on orders over $50 and then that offer magically disappeared and so the shipping cost money too. No. One star only. Terrible website. Playing pricing games. Not nice. I would never recommend your website ordering to anyone. Nor will I ever use it again.

Tip for consumers:
If Hanes website didn’t do the old bait & switch things would have been fine.

Hanes Comfortsoft Hipsters are the worst underwear I've ever had. They say No Ride Up, yet there's no elastic in the leg bands. The waist band isn't very stretchy at all. Hanes.com doesn't have a spot in Customer Service to register a complaint. The quality of their products has been going downhill for many years now. I won't buy them anymore.

Low prices and free shipping look good, but they should let you know it is from Asia and sent by swimmers to the States and it has taken so long I'm afraid the first two have drowned.
Can't see another order in my future.

I had ordered some underwear from Hanes online. After receiving them, Hanes asked for my review and comments.
It was stated that they were "soft cotton". Really? I think more like cheap polyester because they were scratchy and the thinnest material I have ever seen. I don't think they will last through more than 3 washings.
When I said this in my review Hanes sent me an email stating that my review was unacceptable under their standards and would not post it.
So I would assume only GOOD reviews are posted, So future buyers are led to believe all those GOOD reviews are sincere and spend their hard-earned dollars on garbage.If you value how you spend your money on undergarments... shop at Jockey. I have been buying their underwear for YEARS and they are worth every penny.

On sale because they are all cut with a super long tail making them basically worthless, but then again its about them making money and not customer satisfaction, will pay more in the future with ralph lauren but at least i can wear what i buy, forget hanes and their underhanded ways of getting rid of wrong sized clothing at customer expense

I ordered a pack of 4 mid thought boxer briefs. Although they fit well & are comfortable, the waistband & seams started to come apart after several wearings. Disappointing for such a well known brand that's been around for so long.

I have been wearing Hanes tube socks under work boots forever. Lately I got a package that had 2-3 inches difference in length, and were paper thin. I expressed my concerns to the company on their web site, I got zero response for over a month. I will have to find a brand who actually cares about the customers, they don't. Don'y waste your money with Hanes.

The clothing I purchased from Hanes.com came jammed in manila envelopes, permanently creased and wrinkled. I followed their requirements to return them for refund. It's been 6 weeks and numerous calls to customer service to insure that a credit has been issued. Have yet to talk to anyone; instead I have spent between 25 and 54 minutes on hold with each call! I would NEVER, EVER order from these people again. Products shipped in horrible condition and even worst customer service! Stay Away from these people!

Twelve plus days waiting on a shipment, and no clear date as to when it will get delivered. Website pics are very poor quality. You have to sign in or call Customer Service if you want any updates on the status of your order. They ship cheaply using DHL who btw never knows where your package is. You cannot cancel an order if you don't get it in a timely manner, you have to wait it out.

Before posting I wanted to verify that Hanes.com is as dreadful as I experienced. It appears so. I have yet to receive a product ordered 3 weeks ago. There's no way to check the status, so I emailed customer service. Here's their response, "We respond to email messages in the order they are received and we will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible." So I my hope is fading quickly. Point blank - DO NOT SHOP at Hanes.com.

I feel pretty confident of ordering many things on line. I know what size I am as long as the sizing is the same as most other brands. Two of the three items I ordered from Hanes were too small - so I posted the following review. Not true to size
I hate it when i have to pay shipping to return something because the size is wrong -especially when the sizing is skimpy. I will think twice before ordering from this line again
I received an email back saying that my product review had been moderated and would not be accepted because it did not meet their guidelines. So I guess don't believe that Hanes only gets positive reviews - they just don't allow the negative ones on their site. What a waste.

The don't honor their product prices. Wal-Mart had the same package of boxers but with more pairs in it. Call to see if they prices match there product with others stores that have it cheaper, the rude lady Angela I called said No! Asked if they could send me a label so I can purchase the cheap & better ones from Wal-Mart & she said I would have to go print it off myself & pay for it & the shipping. Use to think was a good company but Hell No its Not! Thanks

Hanes has really sold out on the quality of their Beefy Ts. I washed them and they shrunk at least a full size and the lint trap was filled with fibers. Poor quality all around for a once great quality product. When I wrote this same review on their site they said it did not meet their qualifications and would not publish it.

The spoiled children had taken over Hanes.

I still browse their website occasionally but usually don't buy. Shipping is pricey and SLOW. The products I liked have been discontinued or diminished in quality. And only positive reviews are allowed. They also bait and switch. I get an email with sale items but when you try to order, they are suddenly sold out and they try to get you to buy something else.

I have been buying Hanes mens socks for over 30 years because they lasted at least a year (and I am hard on my socks). The last couple of years I am lucky to get 6 months wear out of a pair of their socks. I reached out to the company a few times concerning this matter and I was just ignored

I emailed about a hole (which I admittedly created) as a result of an inconveniently placed tag on a pair of underwear I bought. Customer service promptly emailed me back and more than compensated me for my own mistake. They earn a 5 star for that for sure.

I haven't had any problems when ordering bras from Hanes, other than slow shipping. But I recently purchased some socks for my husband that made his feet sweat profusely and stink, unlike previous pairs we had purchased from Hanes before. Seems the new Fresh IQ products aren't made with much cotton, but more polyester. Whose bright idea was it to make socks from polyester? When I wrote a bad review, it was never posted. Figures. Just like another person said, they sell defective products at the expense of the customer and don't guarantee the quality. I would love to be able to return these socks and get a refund, because my husband can't even wear them. I wouldn't even donate them to a poor person.

I am disappointed that the hanes slim fit crew neck shirts are even longer. Doesn't the designers know that everyone is looking for the untucked look...so why make them longer. Someone is out of touch.
