“Complete Scam”

Sue T.
12/21/21

I ordered 3 items for my husband for Christmas with the extra fee for "express delivery" I got an email stating two out of the three were delivered. What was supposed to be a coat and a watch were two huge bras. KS had no idea where my order was and that I would have to return the bras before they would help me. God only knows where the third item is. They were incredibly rude. A complete sham and I'm out $120.00.

“Idiots!”

Ordered for a shirt for a funeral. They promised to have it to me in 2 days (paid the express shipping). Nope. Called "Customer Service". Talked to an idiot with no empowerment to help me whatsoever. The ONLY authority he was given was to to call me "Sir". Do NOT order from this scam company. I wish that I had read this before I ordered from this F.U.'d company.

If charging $12.00 to ship a fleece jacket, it should be delivered promptly. Not here after 2 weeks.

The products are shoddy, unless you buy a name brand. I bought a pair of Addidis sneakers, and the product box was torn open on one side, so obviously the sneakers were not new. I emailed them on January 22nd, and they sent a return authorization. Here we are, 6 weeks later, and NO REFUND. In their last email to me today (after I complained again about the delay) they actually said "what product are you returning?" Are you kidding me? The CS Rep couldn't scroll down to read the email chain? Unbelievable!
Not only have the lost me as a customer, but I'm taking them to small claims court, not so much for the money, but just on principle.

I order several items for my boyfriend for Father's Day. I had two orders. In my second package I receive all but the undershirts I ordered. On the site it states that everything was available. When I got my items in the mail that is when I noticed on the order form that the undershirts was on back order until JULY. Never did it say on the website before placing my order this was on back order. Also there was not an email asking if I still wanted the items due to it being on back order. I have talk to so many rude customers service rep that keep telling me because the item is on back order ( not my fault the companies fault) I can't cancel or change my order. It has stated on my bank account a few times that this charge was pending then it magically disappears. I was just told over the phone by a rep named Mark. That the item should be shipping out and I told him it's been saying that for weeks. Placed on hold and came back and told me I can't cancel I have to wait for the item to be shipped. Funny thing is they can't even give you a shipping date but want you to wait to be charged for something that you don't even want anymore. I have already found a replacement item from another company so I have to wait for them to send me something I don't want and still let them take my money. Be aware if you still want to shop with this company because some of your items my come and they may not but you still have to wait until they decide to ship them and let them just go in and out of your bank account as they please. This has left me very upset and they could care less. I will be contacting corporate and stopping payment on this charge. I have had enough of them and no longer need to be nice if this is how they think they cant treat people.

I had been with Kingsize for 5 years until just recently. I had a Platinum card with them and had made multiple purchases through my account. Each time I would basically max the account and then pay it off. I had to have two knee surgeries and Covid hit i could not make a purchase for more than 18mos so they CLOSED my account. I only found out when I went to make a purchase for this 2020 Xmas and it would yet again have been a MAx out but couldnt finish the purchase with the card. When I called this is when they told me my account, like others had been decided by their board to be closed even while in good standing simply because we had not made recent purchases in 18mos. EVEN though i had periods of 18mos between purchases before this was a NEW company decision. I was informed there was NOTHING they could do about it (more like nothing they WOULD do about it) but that we could open a brand new account with the $250 credit limit. This is ridiculous having to startover when my limit was built up tp $400 and the 250 would not even cover the purchase i was trying to make. Needless to say they have lost me as a customer and as once I spoke highly of them i REFUSE to send anyone to this company anymore. No other credit line that I have gives me a timeline of when I have to use it or lose it, forcing me into a hardship especially when in good standing and without notice.

Hello, I've never ordered from Kingsize until now, during Covid. Trying times, right?! Yes indeed! I placed my first order a couple of weeks ago. I didn't receive an order confirmation via email, it happens. Two weeks go by, still no notification re processing or shipment. I decided to read reviews, the majority of the reviews were extremely negative pertaining to shipping, exchanging, refunds and customer service. I decided it was time to call customer service to inquire about my order. I pressed # 1 information about my order, the recording stated the order was on back order. I hung up and decided to call back to speak to a representative to cancel my order considering it was on back order this would be an easy fix. I spoke with a friendly customer service rep, she looked into my order and stated it was in process for shipping. A conflict right, I have received any email notifications, my first call stated it was on back order, and not to mention all the negative reviews... what do I trust. I asked the CS rep if I could speak to her supervisor, Ami took my call and listened... I mean really listened. Ami confirmed that once the order is processed I could not cancel my order, I could return the item once I received but I said at a cost to me. Ami went a step further and said she understood my frustration, to rectify the problem she would be able to waive the 9.99 exchange mailing charges.
Ami's demeanor, listening and problem solving skills and expertise are a 5 star!
And this also says a lot about Kingsize as a company. We all should try to have more patience, open minded communication and listen to each other. Thank you

I placed an order mid-September only to discover the size I ordered did not fit. No big deal, every brand is cut a little different. I returned the item, and asked for the same inseam, but a different waist.
Prepaid return postage is a joke because you drop it at the post office, and it then isnt picked up by there "return agent" for almost a week. Then several days for the package to get back to them. All said and done it was TWO WEEKS for them to get the item for exchange. I finally get an email saying the replacement items have been shipped. I look up the order on their website, only to discover THEY DIDNT BOTHER TO HEM THE PANTS!
I call and bring to their attention and this is the response:
"Would you like to place an order for the correct inseam? You can then return the unhemmed pants when you get them. Please be aware there will be a restocking fee for the unhemmed pants because it is a return not an exchange". Let's get this straight... you want me to give you MORE money to send a third pair of pants, because you didn't process the exchange correctly? And you expect to change me extra to return something you screwed up?
I waited for the unhemmed pants and returned them immediately, to try yet again to get the right size. I placed my original order on September 18th... almost SEVEN WEEKS AGO! Again nearly two week wait for the company to get the returned item.
The best part? While I am trying to deal with King Size-d incompetence, the company has the gall to spam me twice a day with emails trying to get me to place more orders. GTFO.

Honestly I had high hopes for this company and was looking forward to my husband getting a robe for Christmas. But, the shipping process for this company is horrible. You could try and blame it on COVID but there's so much more.
I ordered the robe on 11/27 and waited. After about four days, I noticed I never receive anything about shipping. I checked the website first and it said Estimated day Dec 16 but not shipped and a tracking number for USPS. Checking USPS it did not recognize the number. I waited a couple days checked again and the website said now Dec 22 but not shipped and again USPS did not recognize the number.
I decided to call and was told it was with Fed Ex and it would be here by the 18th. When it didn't arrive and I checked the website which now read I had no order history. I was lucky I wrote down my original order number. I decided to call again and they told me they had no way to track it and no tracking number, I was told their delivery partner provided no information and now I had to wait til Dec 25 to request a refund. This was because it may still magically appear here although there is no way to track it.
So, with what I spent I cannot get another gift for my husband or find something Comparable. Now I'm stuck hoping and waiting that he gets his gift.
I ordered in Nov and now 22 days into this I may have nothing. I have ordered other stuff after this from other companies and will get it before. So, simply based on this experience I don't trust them with my business.
Different dates, tracking numbers that don't work, and they don't have good business with whatever delivery service vendor they use. This is not good business. To hear just request a refund if it doesn't appear is a horrible feeling. If I knew this is where I would end up I would never have ordered from them in the first place. I wanted the robe, that's why I ordered it.

Verified purchase

Ordered a pair of 6XL swim trunks from King Size for Father's Day for my husband. My husband works hard & deserves a fashionable pair of swim trunks to splash around in on swim excursions. Shipping is super expensive (because King Size sends you 2 unwanted catalogs at your expense!) even though it's within the U.S. Every email I received after my order confirmation email had incorrect Item # information (even though item ordered was 'in stock'). Tracking is non existent until item shows up at your home. What I received was a pair of WOMEN'S JERSEY SHORTS in 2XL from other Full Beauty co-brand Woman Within. Could not be more incorrect. Beyond frustrated, I called King Size customer service to rectify. No, they won't send correct item immediately at their expense expedited (unless you wanna pay for it again!) until returned item is received. Have no idea what they sent, even though I offered to send picture proof. And yes, you WILL BE CHARGED for the return of THEIR MISTAKE, it gets deducted from your refund total. No, no, no. I spoke to 3 different 'supervisors' until I was assured (hopefully) that a notation was made on my account that I would not be charged for return. Customer service leaves A LOT to be desired (after your 15 minute wait on hold). Never acknowledged their mistake, never offered solutions, basically could care less since they already have my $$ ($60), I have no swim trunks and now I have to fight to get my $$ back. Cancelled my order. Returning the unwanted merchandise. Filed a fraud claim with my bank and with BBB. We shall see if I ever get my total monies spent back. Never again. Other Big & Tall companies might be a little expensive, but they won't rip you off with their WRONG and cheaply made merchandise. The label they printed to stick on the bagged item (no packing slip either btw...) even plainly SAYS the wrong size. Seriously? What would a customer do if you ordered a bunch of stuff and it was all wrong? You would have wasted time & money for nothing.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T!!!! Order elsewhere or from DXL online.

"This website is a scam. They knowingly misguide customers into buying items that do not fit them at all and are several, and I mean SEVERAL sizes too big, but when you ask them to take responsibility for it, they say you must not trust the sizing chart nor the representatives' guidance and must use I don't know what tools to choose your size. Maybe clairvoyance, maybe dark magic. Maybe while you're at it curse them to burn down so they don't steal from other people? I ordered a wool navy jacket from outside the US. In a country like mine it's impossible to buy plus size clothes for men that aren't designed for octogenarians, and so I was hopeful that I had found an alternative, that I was finally gonna be able to buy something that didn't come out of a thrift store and actually fit me. I took my measurements several times. I followed the sizing chart. I confirmed with a representative that my measurements fit a 4XL size because, and I told him, I had doubts since I have always been a 2XL but the sizing chart suggested differently. They told me the 4XL would definitely be the right fit. They reconfirmed it. Surprise! It arrives and is not the 58 inches promised but 68. Imagine how beautiful 5 extra inches look on each side. It's the curtain look you've always dreamed of! The sleeves are about half an arm longer than they should be. I could wrap an extra half of myself in the waist. I mean, a mountain troll would wear that jacket and it would still drown him. Now, since I'm an international buyer they do not allow exchanges and for a refund I would have to pay 60 dollars for shipping, plus an 8 dollar refund fee to get back about 50 bucks. This is stealing. This is taking advantage of big guys and their limited clothing opportunities to make a profit out of refund fees. Someone in the US please bring this nasty corporation down. I can't sue them from here, but someone has to. I spent all my Christmas money on this and now have a circus tent I need to sell. Maybe I should fill it up with the clowns at SizeKingDirect. Maybe I should just swallow a sword and hope for the worst. I'll decide later."

So I "bought" a robe on Nov 19th for Davids xmas/bday present, got it on sale@ a great price, oversized thick plush cushy robe. About 1-2 days before my expected delivery date I get an email advising me my item is back ordered till end of December *sigh* ok fine. Halfway through December I get another email it's now back ordered till the end of January *annoyed* after Xmas I emailed customer service to inquire further details & see if the robe is available now in a different color. I was told no *sigh OK fine* January 2nd I call customer service and ask again about my order/different color. I'm told "good news it's on stock & shipping out in a few dsys" YAY?... NOPE! I get an email yesterday stating my order was cancelled cause they couldn't charge my credit card (for the record there's plenty of credit available on said card). This morning I call customer service again & she keeps repeating herself it's b/c we couldn't charge the card, I keep explaining the card has availability & verify they have the correct cc numbers. I then say "ok let's try something easier. Is the robe back in stock in the size/color I ordered?"... Cs " yes, but it's full price"... Me " oh no it's not, get your supervisor"... Hold music for 8 minutes... Cs " actually the robe isn't available"... me " Huh, so your website which shows it IS available in the size/color I want@ a sale price although not as good of a price as when I order it, your website is lying?"... cs" umm"... me" or the Cs agent I spoke to on January 2nd lied?"... cs" Umm"... Me" or is it you who just told me that it was available, but@ full price who is lying? Which is it?"... cs"umm."... me" never mind! This is the worst customer service & your company will never get my business again! & I will encourage everyone I know not to shop with you & I'll post my customer service review on all possible outlets" *hangs up* NEVER BUY FROM KINGSIZEDIRECT!
