After writing my initial review of Gilt and their customer service on 9/12/2015, I received a message from Gilt CS rep Laura, on 9/13/2015, apologizing for the experience, and would like to look further into the issue and provide a satisfactory resolution. I have since then replied two times to Laura at Gilt, but have not heard back from Laura or Gilt as of today 9/17/2015, nor any action has been taken to remedy the issue. Once again, Gilt has exemplified their poor customer service.

The shoebox deal was very good, but a lot of the deals are so obscure or based in NYC. I live on Long Island so it's not that helpful and the prices aren't as competitive of what they used to be

It's an off shoot of Gilt.com. It is more geared towards experiences, like Groupon, but trying to appeal to a more "refined" clientele. I have liked some of the things I have bought, but there is a strict NO REFUND policy. That kind of stinks!

Thank you gilt city for your excellent customer support and refunding me for my voucher, which, due to my oversight, was not redeemable because i was not a first time customer. I will continue to be a loyal customer of gilt city over other discount websites.

I have purchased a few items from this site and have been extremely satisfied. There items are "stand out pieces" which I have received many compliments on when I wear them.

This place has horrible customer service when it comes to returns they will simply ignore you and if you try to remove yourself from their email list they will ignore your request again and continue to spam your email constantly even if you ask to never be sent another email.

Make sure you read all the fine print as they won't allow you to return any deal which you accidentally purchased not seeing that the deal was for NEW customers only. Even though they admit to being able to refund such purchases in certain circumstances they made it clear that they would NOT refund my purchase, even though I made it clear to them that I couldn't use the Voucher and hence the deal as I was NOT a new customer.

Good quality

Updated review

I take back my words. The quality of the goods is perfect, price too.
People in the service are polite, but very busy, problems are solved slowly.

Date of experience: July 1, 2023

They deducted the money(234Eur) for the item not received and lie all the time that they will solve problem" during 5days". I was loyal customer until they took my money. For a long time I believed that they care about reputation.
Is there any authority to curb such sellers?
