I've been sent totally the wrong item twice in the space of afew months and the returns policy puts all responsibility on the customer to deal with the company error, really poor.I won't be buying from them any more. They're clothes are good but the lack of quality with their service has completely put me off.

Stollen Package
July 11, 2023

Someone stole my banana republic package and instead of sending replacement they refunded my money...
It is a hassle to have to go back on website and search for items and reorder them...
For the amount of money they charge, they should have better options for their customers...

What mediocre clothes for inflated unrealistic prices. I used to love this store but now not only could I not afford to shop here but I would not pay these prices even if I could afford for such drab boring clothes. Cosmetic jewelry prices also unbelievable.

BR doesn't make returns easy. They stopped providing return slips or order number slips inside packages. I did not receive an email with my order number due to a typo in the email. And when I called staff to get help, they said there was nothing they could do. I called again a few weeks later to find out that staff wasn't adequately trained and could have helped me locate the order number on the shipping label like I asked in the initial phone call. At that point my order was late and there was nothing they or the manager would do to fix the issue. I now have 3 shirts that don't fit me that I paid $150 for. Boooo BR.

I will never buy from banana anymore.
November 4, 2023

Banana republic policies are designed to scam customers. I will never buy from them anymore.
They cancel half od my order and hour after I placed it so I get an email an hour later… hour and ten minites I call to cancel the rest. I am told that the request was swnt to the warehouse but they can't promise that it would be cancelled. But no worries the order is not even supposed to ship until 10 days later if tou end up getting it please just return it. 12 days later I get the order I previously tried to cancel and when I try to return it guess what? I am told is non returnable. Scammers… called several times but just wasted my time.

They steal from you
December 31, 2022

I placed an order for pants for work on 9/25/22. It is now New Years Eve. Its been over 3 months and no pants, I call to see whats going on or to get a credit so ai can order more pants because I never received them. The tracking says awaiting pick up from carrier so they never left the facility it looks like. I was just told they cannot give me a refund or store credit because its been so long. Whose fault it that? I've been waiting for these to show up. If you're out of stock or theres an issue on your end fix it. Would that let me speak to a manager. I would not order here. They are literally stealing by taking your money and not sending you what you ordered in exchange.

Final Sales items
March 6, 2023

After years of being a loyal customer I finally have to say that the customer service for returns is very poorly.
Hardly reduced items are final sales and customers are forced to keep their online orders. The prices have increased greatly but not the quality of the clothing. Banana Republic doesn't provide any more a good customer service. There are many more good retailers out there where I will shop from now on.

Its about the lady on checkout register when i went to (banana republic) toronto premium outlet. I had with me my brothers employee discount card and i was willing to use it but then when they told me they can't do it unless the person who owns it is with us. I immediately get that and said no problem i still even purchase what i got. After shortly i came back with my brother as he was around there in outlets and requested if they can refund so that we can use discount card,, she was so rude and unnecessarily was giving lecture and how i can't pay and blah blah when i used the same card many times and she could have told us politely, she was giving so negative vibes,, just because of that lady i am not going to banana republic ever! So disgusted with that $#*!.

Deceptive advertising, terrible customer service
November 21, 2022

Banana Republic posted an ad on Instagram with an androgynous person in a smiling pose, a blue puffer jacket. I ordered it because I thought the woman looked friendly and I liked the color. I chose a large. I received a man's puffer jacket for a huge man, should have been XXL, and when I tried to return it, I was told it was non-exchangeable, no flexibility. This is pathetic. All stores that sell online tell you what gender you are ordering so you can determine size accurately. I think Banana Republic is dishonest and untrustworthy.
