Very, very poor customer service. I ordered a jumper for my son-in-law as a Christmas present (Order number *******), but it is too big. I spent an hour today (1st January) trying to find a customer service telephone number, only to fail. Eventually I got a response from the annoying chatbot on the ASOS website. Chatbot said NO. I insisted I be put through to a manager. After another 30 minutes was eventually transferred. The manager eventually decided that I definitely could NOT have a refund or an exchange. Suffice it to say, I am NEVER buying from this company again. Customer service is NON EXISTENT! AVOID ASOS!
I have never had a worse experience with online shopping. I placed an order on November 28, expecting prompt shipping. I contacted customer service multiple times, only to be told to wait because the parcel was allegedly on its way. However, the delivery service Inpost never received the package.
Finally, today, December 9, I was informed that the order won't arrive, and I was offered a refund. No apology was provided, and now the prices for all the items I ordered during the Black Friday sale have increased.
Thank you for this "amazing" experience. I will not recommend ASOS to anyone and will avoid shopping here myself in the future.
I placed a $377 order with ASOS on November 27th. It then gave me an estimated delivery date of December 30th. Every previous order I have placed with ASOS has arrived within a week via DHL. I contacted support immediately, who assured me that the order would arrive by courier in the normal timeframe.
By December 20th, it was clear the order would not arrive in time for Christmas, so I contacted support to cancel the order. They informed me it would be cancelled and refunded.
Today, January 6th, the order arrived at my local post office. I took it home and contacted support once more to find out why the order had not been cancelled and refunded, as I was assured it would be.
After ten minutes, it became clear they would do nothing at all to resolve the issue, despite the multiple false assurances by their support. The agent confirmed that in addition to paying the import duties to receive the package, I would need to pay the postage to return it plus a return fee. Three payments to fix their repeated errors. Absurd.
Last time I will ever order from this company. They do not care about their customers one bit.
I ordered a Blue color winter jacket on sale. ASOS shipped a wrong color jacket. Contacted customer service and they advised me to return the item to get refund and order the original Blue color jacket again with the current higher price. They refused to send the replacement item. Order No.: *******.
O not shop here. First time customer, I ordered a pair of shoes for my daughter for Christmas. Ordered them November 14th, she received them yesterday for Christmas. They are not the right size - we put them next to her other Addidas size 9 and these shoes are clearly significantly larger (we think they sent a man's size 9 or they changed their sizing, but they are not a w9 despite them adamantly confirming they are - they are not, we are holding the physical proof). They will not return or exchange them despite an hour on chat, showing them a photo of the clear size difference between the two shoes, etc. We are 3 days past their ridiculously short return window which I honestly did not see when I ordered, or I wouldn't have ordered from them. Most places allow a longer return window, especially at the holidays. The customer service was unsympathetic and not helpful at all. Horrific return policy and customer service. These shoes were $110. Not the way to treat customers you value. Buy from the manufacturer direct, skip this awful distributor. We are also writing a letter to the manufacturer - as someone who works for a manufacturing company, I'd never want this company for a distributor if this is how they treat their customers.
Bought a pair of Dr Marten shoes which are supposed to be one of the best for leather and longevity. When the shoes arrived they were farrrrr from new! They were battered! They had clearly been worn for several weeks and returned or worn by an ASOS member of staff that decided to exchange their battered pair for my new pair upon dispatch!
I have attached photos as the shoes' battered state on delivery have to be seen to be believed!
AVOID this company, they no longer care about their customers.
HORRIBLE SCAM COMPANY! I RETURNED A DRESS WELL WITHIN THE RETURN WINDOW. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO REFUND ME BUT INSTEAD THEY POSTED A STORE VOUCHER WHICH THEY CANCELLED AND STOLE MY MONEY! THEY HAVE NO PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL AND ONLY A CHAT FEATURE. AFTER MONTHS OF TRYING TO GET HELP THROUGH THEIR JOKE OF A "CUSTOMER SERVICE" THEY NEVER FIXED IT. THEY STOLE $120! BEWARE AFTER THIS SITUATION I FOUND MANY OTHER REVIEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAYING THE SAME! THIS COMPANY IS A TOTAL SCAM IF YOU NEED A REFUND. THEY WILL JUST KEEP THE ITEM AND YOUR MONEY AND RUN YOU IN CIRCLES UNTIL YOU GIVE UP.
Disgraceful customer service.
I placed an order on the 29th where it stated delivery would be 1st of December. I didn't receive any emails or confirmation until today (2nd December) where it stated I wouldn't receive my order until the 9th! I PAY FOR PREMIER. Because it took so long for them to inform me of this I'm unable to cancel my order. Wasted over an hour on the live chat for them to just keep telling me they couldn't cancel the order. I know full well they are able to cancel orders they just don't want to because it affects their figures. It's disgusting, I've been a customer for YEARS and I am suffering because of their lack of communication and inability to help.
I went from speaking to an agent to having a 'manager' doing absolutely nothing to help me further. Waste of time, money and stress.
Also, just to top it off, he decided to forward me my email confirmation I never received stating delivery was due on the 9th. Great! Thanks! Further proving that if I received it in the first place I could've cancelled the order immediately.
I ordered Nikes, they sent me Crocs. I sent the Crocs back and instead of refunding me, they closed my account for "fraud". I have all the tracking from UPS stating that they got my return. They just don't want to refund me. I'm filing a claim through Paypal and if they don't refund me, my Discover card will. Never do business with this deceitful company!
I live in NL and the website mention they have a 28 day retour policy. Apparently this is not true because you have to create a return label within 14 days. This is not mentioned everywhere and 14 days is very short. T seems like this is intended to take advantage of customers. If you let customer service know you have missed this extra information they are very unwilling to help.
J'ai vécu une expérience déplorable avec ASOS, le pire site auquel j'ai eu affaire. J'ai reçu des informations trompeuses qui m'ont fait croire que ma commande était perdue, alors j'ai demandé un remboursement. Une heure plus tard, en réalisant mon erreur, je les ai contactés en toute honnêteté pour annuler la procédure. On m'a répondu qu'il était impossible d'annuler et que je devais renvoyer la commande. C'est inacceptable! Pour moi, ce sera la dernière fois avec ASOS, et je ne recommande absolument pas ce site.
Suspended my account for requesting a refund on items they didn't deliver - been shopping for 10 years with them and they have refused to refund due to "suspicious" activity
I placed an order and never received it. After two weeks it was cancelled without any explanation and refund given.
There's no email address available and I had to spend a lot of time talking to a robot and then to a customer service representative who didn't help me at all. She only explained and apologised.
The only assurance I needed was that if I placed a new order I would receive it by the end of the week.
I asked for an email address as I wanted to make a complaint and was not given one. Instead, I was advised that someone would contact me in 24 to 48 hours but that never happened.
Terrible customer service. Overseas chat/call centres with no complaints team. What company has no complaints team? ASOS has really gone down hill and I will never go through the hassle of shopping with a company with no adequate customer service. I was told incorrect information after being on chat with them for two hours and then the manager "Rafael" cut off the chat when I informed him that the information was incorrect. There is no recourse for customers.
Bought a sweater and a cardigan, frankly the price was very cheap and the pictures looked good. The actual items received were good, but they don't last. The sweater lost its shape after one wash, and the cardigan seems to be polyester, which easily gets static electricity.
Package was lost in the DHL local department, which DHL confirmed, however ASOS claiming that wasn't the case as they were told by DHL otherwise. Essentially Asos has blocked my account and ignored the emails.
~400$ lost. Continuing on the legal pastern and suggesting others to avoid this company. It's first time experience in my life, not sure how they still exist.
I order a pair of Nike air max Bella shoes. I got some high chunky heel black and white converse. Customer service is literally not helpful at all. Says they can't locate my real item. I am so confused on how these people shipping orders are so dumb. Like how do you mess up THAT BAD. Now I have to go out of my way to package it up print the label and drop off to UPS. Meanwhile still not have any idea what's going on with what I ordered. I guess I won't even be getting the correct item. She offered nothing for all this hassle.
I bought tow items that were scheduled to arrive on Wednesday Jan 17th, I then received an email today saying my package was being held due to insufficient postage funds. Is this a scam or just a normal way for this company of conducting business by trying to extort money out of customers.
Low quality products plus I paid $70 customs fee on $180 shopped items. I've been ordering many other online sites that's located overseas and NEVER had to pay such fees.
They're always advertising with sales price with nice design clothing but do not trust. You're going to end of paying high (what they're calling) "customs fee" and receiving horrible quality items (with stitches out). This site is totally scam. People who left good reviews are probably some are also a scam/part of team.
From the time I confirmed and paid for my item, to the time I did not receive it a month after their estimated date of arrival, my tracking was untraceable. Their courier partner in my country told me the tracking number does not exist. Agents I chat to online all have the same approach, I'm so sorry, I understand your frustration, yet none of them kept to their word! They are taught to be empathetic, its actually annoying. Once the date passed where I was to receive my order, yet nothing arrived, they asked me to rate my item, I explained what had happened and my review was rejected. Four months later after speaking from agent to agent I finally got my refund. Will definitely not purchase from this site again.
Answer: Hello Em, Yes it is true. The site has very poor delivery and customer service. I do not recommend it.
Answer: Doubt it, I don't think they sell any knock off's. Depending on the print you got, some of them don't have stripes. Hope that helps.
Answer: No. They will find 101 reasons to screw you out of your money
Answer: No. If anything it has gottten worse.
Answer: Look, as I wrote here I shopped with them many times and I was never disappointed. I don't know where you buy from, but I live in Italy and it doesn't take more than 4-5 working days for them to deliver the package. If you're concerned about the quality, well, it's not really top-notch, but considering the price it's really good (you can't expect Max Mara quality from a shirt you paid 20 euros). As for the fit be careful because those are UK sizes and they are definitely NOT vanity sizing! Meaning: when you read "model pictured wears UK 8" you may think "they're lying, she's clearly a 6" but they're actually not in most cases. I have a body similar to that of most of their models, I ordered size 6 twice and it was a tiny bit small. So size accordingly. All in all I trust them and I like their product. Perfect low-cost site to shop from online.
Answer: Complain about Asos through the Retail Ombudsman, if more people complain about companies like Asos they will have no choice but to improve their service to their customers.
Answer: Your only option with asos is live chat. I used it just now and also a few days ago and it worked just fine. They solved all my issues. Chat is the only way to contact.
Answer: You have to be a careful shopper. Check the fabric content! I just purchased Is 4 pairs of cargo pants. Same style, different colors. They are 100% cotton and excellent quality. I also purchased things by topshop and free people on this site. Asos has its own brand but sells others. Returns are effortless so I don't know why so many people are complaining. I have very high standards and they haven't let me down yet.
