I have ordered 2 dresses and 2 pairs of shoes from Asos. The first dress has a terrible chemical smell & I cannot hang it inside my home. After 5 days outside it still smells. I contacted Asos and they have not responded. I am forced to pay for return shipping to return a FAULTY clothing item at the tune of $22. Both pairs of shoes are fine if you like cheap plastic shoes. The second dress appears white in the photos but when it arrived it has a pink & green sheen to the sequins & I look like a 5 year old in it. No woman over the age of 12 would want to wear it. In order to return it, I am (again) having to pay $22 for return shipping. There is no where on their site that they allow for customer reviews of their products in order to forewarn other potential buyers - clearly deliberate on their part. Asos gets a big fat fail from me & I will not be making a purchase from them ever again.

Stay away!
May 26, 2020

I received the order with 2 wrong sizes of a footwear. I ordered slides size 9 and received size 8; Also I ordered 6.5 size sneakers that I found in women's section and received the same model of sneakers but for men so men's 6.5 size is quite big. I contacted the customer support and they refuse to pay for their mistake, they just said I need to return the items and since I am an international customer they don't offer free return from my location. So it does not make sense to pay shipping cost which is very expensive. The worst service! Just stay away!

I was guaranteed my items would arrive on August 4th and they arrived today - past the wedding that I was trying to find a dress for. Like all of the other reviews... I contacted customer service and was given the same BS explanation with a 10% discount that expires in one month. First of all, when you lose a long time customers trust it is going to take me over a month to want to shop with you again.
I finally received my order and it was the. Wrong. Freaking. Dress. I emailed again asking for better compensation then a lousy 10%. They said that is the best they can do. They said they will ship another dress if one is available (although online it says it isn't). Super disappointing experience. Work on your customer service and satisfaction and show some loyalty to your customers. I mean, we are the reason you are still in business.

Terrible experience with ASOS. They owe me $300 in refunds. I returned their package from the post office bc they lied to me saying the shipping is free. Post office asked me to pay almost $150 for shipping. It is more than a month that im chasing them to refund my money and they keep lying to me by saying the package hasn't arrived their warehouse. This company is very, very dishonest. I will take legal action against them and I will write reviews every where to let their customers know. Shame on you ASOS..

No free shipping
November 1, 2022

Do not get fooled by the "Free shipping" mention! That company does not pay for shipping and let you handle it at the Post Office. Well-known as the clerk immediately apologized for the wrong-doing of the company when she saw the package. There are better places to spend your money at.
Obviously laughable customer service on top of that.
STAY AWAY!

Ordered some items to be sent internationally and annoying ASOS does not include all custom charges in their costs. They even decided to split one of my larger orders into two parcels which then incurred two import charges, even though they assured me that one order regardless of how many parcels will incur only one import charge. I contacted ASOS re this and was told to chase customs even though this happened because they decided to put it into two parcels. Regardless, they were the ones that submitted the documentation to customs so in my opinion they should be the ones calling customs and going through that headache.

Another annoyance is that the payment of these fees delayed the shipment. Luckily, I was in country and received the email but this may not be the case for others.

The fact that there are additional hidden fees is not acceptable for such a large company. I frequently shop online with majority of purchases being sent from overseas and have not experienced this before.

If I could put a 0 star I would! There's absolutely no one to contact for customer service. They don't reply to emails or social media messages. I have tried to contact asos multiple times but have yet to receive a response. I have ordered 3 separate orders all over $75.00 to Canada to only be informed by my shipping courier that ASOS company put a COD amount of $33.86 on each order (x3 = $101.58) EXTRA that I'm suppose to pay to ASOS before I'm even able to pick up my parcels at the post office! I will never ever ever buy from this company again and I hope if you're from Canada please don't waste your time or hard earned money on this company!

Got way overcharged
April 20, 2015

Beware when buying from Asos because I recently bought some t-shirts and during delivery, got an email saying that I need to pay over 100$ to have the order cleared from customs. They are not responsible for paying customs and duty, so expect to pay 20-30% more than the checkout price.
But they do have a nice store

Wanted to return shirt and buy larger size. The larger size jumped $20 in 3 days When I asked to price adjust they just said no, just return item. Totally unconcerned that I won't reorder or even shop their site. And all the while claiming they are having a big Christmas sale. Won't be shopping again at ASOS

Successful purchase
November 5, 2016

It's my first time shopping online, and Asos proved very reliable with delivery codes and emails confirming when the parcel is on the way, it arrived in about a week. One of the jumpers is a bit looser than I thought, given I chose a small. Otherwise I'm quite happy with my purchases and gonna shop here again!
