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.
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.
I have placed orders online through your company EVERY YEAR for the past 5 years, with no issues.
This year, my elderly mother tried to place an order by phone, as she is not computer savvy. She had the item number and all of the information she needed... but the customer service representative could not speak English clearly enough for my mother to understand what was being said. She finally said she would have to call them back.
Days later, I called to place the order for her, thinking perhaps it was my mother's hearing aid that had caused issues the time previous...
However, not only did I have to ask the representative to repeat herself SEVERAL times, but she did not UNDERSTAND English well enough... and had to have ME repeat much of what I said and inquired!
I would have gotten through it without TOO much upset... had it not been for the 4 times she went off on an unintelligible, uninterruptable tangent in a pushy effort to sell me yet another item, twice... and then a membership trial twice.
Each time I politely rejected the offer, she would say, "I understand. However, I do need to let you know that this offer... (blah... blah... BLAH)"... as the sales deeply-accented, SUPER-RAPID speech RESUMED!
The FOURTH time, which had been 30 minutes AFTER the call BEGAN (just to order 2 measly items!), brought me SUCH frustration that I desperately TRIED to interrupt her and get on with the credit card information. However, even raising my voice, eventually to a YELL... would NOT STOP HER!
I have NEVER had such a ridiculous experience with the customer service of ANY company.
I feel that I SHOULD share my experience on Facebook in hopes of saving others from such a time-stealing, EXHAUSTING experience by attempting to place an order via telephone.
I hope your company rethinks their obvious-foriegn-outsourcing for customer service. Hire US CITIZENS... cease frustrating callers with representatives that CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD... help our economy... and for HEAVEN'S SAKE! STOP WITH THE PUSHY SALES ADD-ONS!
I ordered a gift at the beginning of December for my boyfriend (a jacket and a dress shirt), and the website said it was in stock with 7-12 business days to get here. Cool, I had 3 weeks before Christmas! I got my confirmation order saying it was in stock also. One package arrived on the 14th, but the other one was not with it. So I checked my email to see if I had any communication from KingSize. Nope, none. So I track the order. It is on backorder. There was ZERO communication or notification that the item had been backordered after both the website AND confirmation email told me it was in stock. So I emailed KingSize, 2 days later I get a response saying they don't know when it will be in stock again. No alternative solutions, nothing. So I called. The woman on the phone said "Its supposed to be in next week so we can ship it then". Uhh no. As stated multiple times, I needed it by Christmas. So I asked to cancel the order and get something else. I checked to make sure it was in stock. Now in order to get it by Christmas, it was $26 in shipping! And the item was only $28! So I would literally have to pay 100% shipping costs. I asked if there was a discount they could give or something since they did not communicate that anything was backordered until I wrote in asking, and I need it by Christmas, otherwise I never would have ordered it and would have gone through literally ANYONE else. The woman said she cant discount without me providing her a "free shipping code". If I had that, I wouldn't be asking for a discount due to inconvenience. I will say, Their clothes are nice, and my boyfriend wants to start wearing dressy clothes, but this was my first experience, and they have permanently lost a customer. I will pay the extra to shop at DXL or something. And considering I easily spend $3,000 - $4,000 a year on clothes just for myself and my kids (yeah, I know its excessive… I have a problem clearly), it's a decent amount of additional revenue that they will be losing. And word of mouth is the fastest way to spread poor service. Ive told everyone how crap it was, and we are all big people. KINGSIZE IS A LET DOWN!
I ordered a pair of jeans last fall and had to send them back ($10 shipping) as they were too big. I requested a different waist size and instead received another pair of jeans in the same waist size but now in an unhemmed length (I had requested a specific length). I sent them back ($10 shipping) with the invoice, and several weeks later, I received the exact same pair of jeans with my original invoice in the package. No other correspondence was included. I assumed, incorrectly, that someone in the returns department had made a mistake by re-mailing the same jeans back to me. I once again sent them back ($10 shipping), this time with not only the invoice but also with a letter explaining the sequence of events and asking them to refund my credit card. Several weeks later, I AGAIN received the SAME package in the mail, same jeans, original invoice, plus my letter. No other correspondence. I called the company, explained the situation and was told that because I was outside the 60-day return window when I sent the jeans back the first time, they would not refund my credit card. I asked to speak to a manager, who told me the same thing. I asked him why the jeans were sent back to me twice with no explanation or correspondence and was told that packages are automatically returned to the sender if they are outside of the 60 day return window. I asked to speak with HIS manager, and was told I would get a call back as "no one in upper management is available right now." I never received a call back, but received an email saying that exchanges and refunds were only an option within the 60 day return window. My question is: if I was outside the 60 day return window, then why did KingSize send me the unhemmed jeans as an exchange? I was not outside the 60 day window, contrary to what the company claims. So I now have a pair of jeans, originally around $50, but with all the return shipping, it's an $80 pair of jeans that can't be worn as the waist size was never corrected (the original reason for return). KingSizeDirect has non-existent customer service. If you order something and it's perfect, great. However, if you need to return or exchange an item, BUYER BEWARE. KingSize will not deviate from their party line, even when the mistake is theirs. I wish I had read all of the reviews on them before I bought. Apparently, they have an extremely poor rating with their customer service. That says all you need to know. Does anybody out there need a pair of jeans in a 58" waist?
