“Most comfortable work pants ever; worth the wait”

Tara F.
1/3/24

I didn't want to love these pants, as they are a little expensive and the shipping can be slow (like 3-6 weeks after ordering) but I find myself reaching for my betabrand pants every time I have to get dressed for work. I only have two pairs so I need to order more. They are so comfortable and unlike other similar brands these have the normal amount of pockets as regular pants, without compromising comfort. The most comfortable work pants I own hands down. Soft, quality material as well. The customer service is good and they will meet your needs to the best of their availability; you might just have to wait a while.

“Pant legs were different sizes”

K M.
5/20/24

I received a pair of the 7-Pocket Dress Pant Yoga Pants and one leg was 2 inches shorter than the other. I tried to call customer service but the number was out of order (!) so I emailed asking if they could overnight the replacement, since this was clearly a quality error. I got a standard reply saying they'd ship the exchange once the original pair was returned. I'm waiting 2 weeks now for that to happen. Came on here and found out I'm not the first person to get a pair with two differently sized legs - and they apparently just keep sending them out. Used to be a great brand that I liked to support but I won't keep overpaying for such bad service. Dupes are easy to find at half the price.

I ordered the regular pants. They were to0 long, so I returned them and ordered the petitie. I got the petitie they fit fine until I washed them and then they shrunk. Yes I washed in cold water and line dried them. Since I washed them I can not exchange them. I think that is horrible. Anyone need a short pair because I can't wear them.

No one answers my calls, no chat available, emails have not been answered. I just wanted a shipping label to return my item as stated on website. Save your money and don't buy.

One item from my order was missing. I tried to contact them three times never got a response. Bad customer service. Looks like a scam. They lost me as a customer for sure and I'll shop somewhere else

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR dress yoga pants. I soooo wish you didn't run out of the red in size Medium. I had to return ML cuz too long, and then I didn't get lucky enough to get a M. I also wanted the dark green and you don't offer that color... Please bring back a lovely dark green pant. Such a hard color to find... please! Can't wait for a huge sale again.

Although I love these slacks placing and order and then finding out they won't be shipped for two months is not okay. If they are out of stock it should say so on the site.

This company did not send the pants but charged me for them. When I let them know they send back a reply saying " thank you for your order, we shipped them so we cannot process this". Then they say I can return them if I want. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! Beware!

Placed my order early June and it is now late July and after inquiring about my order, they let me know that there were warehouse issues and that it would ship soon. Two weeks pass and I request an update and was told that there was no longer an estimated time of arrival and basically that it would ship when it ships. Another 2 weeks pass and one of my pants is cancelled without any explanation. A day after that I receive a shipping notification that the other pair of pants were shipped. It's been over a week and those pair of pants were never shipped because they still have not been scanned into the shipping service's system. They are printing shipping labels to make it appear that your order is being shipped soon. I have requested a cancellation since it's now been almost 2 months since I placed the order. This is completely unacceptable and I'm not sure how they continue to run promos for their product when they do not ship orders that have been placed. I have received over 50 promo emails from the time I placed the order until today. 1000% would not recommend this brand to anyone.

I ordered pants on May 29th. I never received them. On August 10th I emailed them and on August 11th I got an email stating warehouse/shipping issues. The email said by the end of the month they hoped to have the issues resolved. Today I still don't have my pants but they charged my card as soon as I ordered. I have about 5 pair of their pants and love them but I won't order anymore. I am now trying to cancel but having trouble talking to someone live. May 29,2023 paid unfulfilled Track Order $62

My favorite pair of pants came from Betabrand years ago. In early August 2023 I ordered pants from them that said they would ship in August. It is now September 25th and they still have not even shipped. I had to ask customer service for answers multiple times and they literally just say "we can't provide estimates". How in the world is that acceptable? You can't just say that you don't know where my product is! I think they're going under, or something is going wrong, and they will take your money without making any real effort to fulfill your order. I canceled my order, which is really disappointing because I could have gone shopping for what I need sometime over the past TWO MONTHS. It's completely unacceptable. If they don't refund me I will have to take it up with my credit card company. And Betabrand is still advertising! Even though they clearly don't have the product! This company that used to make amazing pants is turning into a scam. And they do nothing to try to make it up to their customers. I am never buying from them again.

Verified purchase

I ordered a pair of black pants on 5/7/2023.
After 2 weeks with no update, I contacted customer service (on 5/21/23) via email. They said, "Our warehouse team has encountered unforeseen issues impacting fulfillment and causing delays, and do not anticipate being able to ship your order until the end of May." At this point, that was only 9 days away. So I waited.
3+ weeks later, I still hadn't received an update, so I emailed customer service again on 6/14/23. They said, "It is now expected to be shipped by the end of June (we hope it's sooner!)"
3 weeks after that, I got an email on 7/6/23, saying that they are canceling my order due to "unforeseen (and very inconvenient) delays" at their factory. This was 2 MONTHS after I paid for my order.

I'm very disappointed in what this company has become. I have several pairs of Betabrand pants that I have purchased over the years (since about 2015). The last pair I bought (and received) over a year ago had major quality issues. Clearly this company has been going downhill for a while.
My major complaint is that they NEVER attempted to contact me to inform me of the delays. I had to email them for information. What kind of company takes the customer's money and doesn't bother to let them know about "delays"? I will never purchase from this company again.

I'm short-ish (5'5") and thick (195) with a butt and thighs that I have despised my entire life. When I find a pair of pants in a fit that is both comfortable and look good I buy 5 and don't shop again until it's absolutely necessary (every 2 years if I can stretch it that far). The fitting room is not my friend and I prefer to purchase 10 pairs of whatever just so that I can try them on at home instead. My job going 100% remote last year was the best thing for my wardrobe (I love leggings and sweats) but I did such a great job that they gave me the region for my company and now I am expected to be seen in public and meet clients (boo). I psyched myself up for a shopping trip in order to stock up on some professional-ish clothing and returned home with a sweater and 2 T-shirts... fail. I did try on several pairs of pants in numerous sizes and became more and more agitated so I eventually decided to save my sanity and just go home before I yelled at someone who didn't deserve it. I have seen Betabrand ads on social media previously and decided to give it a try. I ordered a pair of boot cut denim pants and a pair of basic black boot leg pants. I picked them up from my apartment's reception office today and was prepared to try them on, put them back in the packaging and send them back. I am reluctantly impressed... I might even say shocked. Both pair fit well, look good, AND are very comfortable without feeling like baggy sweats. The fabric is thick and feels like very good quality... no panty lines. Wow. I'm actually excited to be able to wear these somewhere now. Thank you!

Tip for consumers:
sizes seem true to size and don't run large or small

These are the most comfortable leggings I have. They have a higher waist band to hold everything in and my tummy look flat! They are thicker than most leggings/yoga pants. Great quality!

I ordered a pair of the dress pant yoga pant in April and I am still waiting. It was a pre-order item and they did state it would ship in July so I set my expectations. However, during this time I received two marketing emails stating my item is "back in stock". I ignored the first one in May but when I received the second one on July 18 I contacted customer service inquiring why my item still had not shipped when according to the order status Betabrand is "waiting for inventory" yet I've received two emails stating item is back in stock. I did receive a response the same day stating it was due to ship in July and what do you know, two days later on July 20 I received an email stating it had shipped. It is now July 30 and I still have not received the pants. The tracking shows the shipper received the electronic info on July 25. Why on earth would they send a notice saying something shipped 5 days before they actually ship? Once again, they set expectations for one thing and severely underperform. Supposedly I will receive these on August 1. It's insane to wait 4 months for a pair of pants. I don't care if these end up being the best darn pants I've ever worn. I will never buy from this company again. I wish I had researched reviews before making this purchase.

This company is sleazy and practices poor business practices. STAY AWAY. I returned two pairs of pants 3 weeks ago and still have no received a refund or heard from the company. Also, for the recent Black Friday sales, the company increased their prices to make it look like all the items were on sale, when in face they were not. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY. I will never shop here again. First photo is my receipt from a purchased made 2 weeks before Black Friday, 2nd photo from Black Friday (showing original price $69), 3rd photo from today (1 week after Black Friday, showing original price $58)

Ignore all the bad reviews about getting the wrong size and expensive no return items. You can return items for a different size but just not for your $ back, but I would argue, who would want their $ back? Get the right size!

I bought my first pair of pants and the minute I tried them on, I turned around and bought 2 more pants the same day. I have no bought 7 pairs and they are the best pants ever!
Because of the stretch ability they offer, they are very economical and can span 3 sizes. Meaning if I gain 10 pounds they still fit and if I lose 10 pounds they still fit. They wear well and are so comfortable.

I reached out to customer support because I by accident bought the regular size instead of petite and they reached back immediately to try to rectify my mistake. However, it was too late as they had already shipped. I love these pants so much that rather than send them back and wait for a return of the correct size, I spent $10 to just get them hemmed. Seriously, you can't argue with how comfortable these pants are. You are missing out if you listen to the bad reviews, you really are!

I've been meaning to try these for awhile now, I picked out what I wanted and then found they were out of stock in nearly all sizes. I commented on this, and someone who I assume works there suggested a different but similar style that hadn't appeared in the correct category - great. Decided to get 2 pairs, but when I went to checkout it said they were pre-order and wouldn't be available for a couple months. Would have been nice to know this before I wasted time trying to figure out which size to get. Don't understand why it wouldn't say this on the item before you put it in your cart - maybe because it's less likely people will order? I know I don't want stuff randomly showing up in my driveway months from now when I don't know if I'll be around. Sure this year probably will be, but still. Then I noticed it said pre-orders are charged at time of order, rather than when they are actually shipped, which I think is pretty bogus. Most companies don't do that. (I suppose I could wait until they're actually in stock and there are even some reviews, but I'm just guessing my new choice will be out of stock by then as well.) Searched on the brand and start seeing many not so good reviews. Feeling like I dodged a bullet.

Don't buy from them. I have 2 orders over 700$. One from over a month ago and I have not received my items, nor will they cancel and refund my money. Very disappointing experience!

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy. If there is a problem with the shipment they will not help. Just keep telling me to wait.

Bought 2 pants. One came defective with a rip in it. Return policy is terrible, it costs you to return stuff to them. I paid for shipping but it took ages for the pants to arrive.

Tip for consumers:
Read their return policy before you order. They have the worst shipping - I paid for 5-7 business days. Good arrived 2 weeks later

"Not a great experience with this team. I always appreciated the creativity of their items, but after a few orders with repeated issues, I just can't recommend them. First of all, everything they make is expensive. So you'd imagine with these costs, you'd be paying for good service along with good quality. But one "preordered" item, which was supposed to ship that winter, was delayed and delayed, months on end, to the point that customer service was sending out promo codes and apology items to make up for the poor service. Not great, but whatever, I'll give them another chance.

They had a sale, I saw an item, and purchased. Nothing unusual. They don't ship it for a few days, which interests me but whatever. I finally get an email, saying my item is out of stock ("inventory snafu"). That's interesting, since it's still in stock on your site, this being now days later... Ok, well, is there any other size? Only if I wanted to go way smaller so it wouldn't fit.

Poorly managed and run site. They've lost my business, which is a shame."

I originally bought some of their products on poshmark. Yes, I know that's taboo. Their products are expensive. But, I really like what they're about. I want to support American companies I love the idea of crowdfunding. They don't have a nap. The website can be hinky and glitchy. I ordered some shoes and they were in pre- transit for 10 business days. I sent an email and got no response. I tried to use the chat option on the website and it did not work. I did leave a direct message in the customer service page. They explained that oversold the product and they did refund me instantly. But it's insane that it took 10 business days for this to be noticed. That's almost two weeks in real life. I also pre-ordered some pants that we're going to be available in September. That wasn't clear when I ordered them I thought they were available immediately. Regardless, I stuck with it. They finally been shipped 15 business days later. They use snail mail. Expedited shipping cost extra. I've dealt with other small companies before. I buy on Etsy all the time. I really love their products. But I may just buy them second-hand in the future or on eBay.

I ordered 3 pairs of pants from Betabrand on April 24, one of which is a pre-order, so I won't comment on that status yet. I received one pair of pants on May 5, right on time according to their estimate. However, as of May 28, I still haven't received the second pair of pants. DHL hasn't received the package from Betabrand yet. Luckily, I did seem to have better luck with customer service than others on this forum. I contacted Passport, their shipping coordinator, and they arranged a refund for the pants I didn't receive. I've checked my bank account, and I did indeed receive the refund for the full price of the pants. They also gave me 30% off a new order, so my dumb self decided I should reorder the pants.

I placed a second order for a sweater and two more pairs of pants on May 19. I received the sweater on May 27, and I love it. The other two pairs of pants haven't even finished processing yet, so tracking hadn't begun. The whole order was promised by May 28- June 1. They're blaming DHL for the delay due to Covid19, but it hasn't even gotten to DHL yet. I've emailed Passport again as well as Betabrand directly. They have given form responses so far.

Overall, I am not satisfied with their shipping practices. It is not okay to charge customers and promise a date without delivering on that date.
