"Bad service
July 20, 2022

Shopee has just recently adopted new system of frequently cancel items when sellers unable to ship products or manage their stocks in time for delivery. This is not the right process of ecommerce. The company try to hit it big during particular day of campaign or promotion. Getting consumers to buy but in the end, they either face losing their coins, waiting long for delivery with no updates or worst cancellations without any informed notice. This is not how ecommerce is managed. The company need to stringent check if their sellers have available stocks during consumers purchase on destinated dates of promotion. These items ordered are in need by buyers most of time. As a consistent user of madevell
I will now opt for other ecommerce platform.

Ridiculous Return Process
February 14, 2019

My daughter purchased me a sweater that had a little more wool in it than my skin liked. I live nowhere near a Madewll so I was given a customer number and emailed a return label. I sent it out immediately on January 9th. It's over a month later and they still have not emailed me the refund. Ever time I contact them I get someone new who asks for the same info that is easily found in the feed of responses. I'm so angry that I have to waste my time with this! Do your damn job and take care of your customers! Horribly run returns. Ridiculous that it is taking this long!

Never again!
December 27, 2018

The customer service is absolute the worst EVER! Try to call and you are on hold for more than 40 minutes, I tried twice and hang up. Merchandise was promised for Dec. 28th and on Dec. 27th it was not even shipped. To make it easy to get out of this purchase I cancelled my Visa card, never before have I experienced such a lousy customer service. They say email us and we will respond within 24 hours, of course not true.

Horrible company! They took my money in paypal twice without confirming my order. They kept me on the phone for over an hour with ZERO solutions. I was told there was nothing they could do I even had the paypal transaction number and they didn't care to even take it from me. I tried contacting them through email and their solution was to call customer service AGAIN! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! Company doesn't care about customers at all.

No Credit given
November 9, 2020

I purchased over $600 of clothing last week and it arrived on Monday. I really liked the items I received so I put another pair of jeans and a pair of leather boots in my cart. Then I saw an ad for "insider rewards." I'm like ‍Idk about that! So I sign in and it recognized a purchase from 8 months ago for a single item, but not my 10 item purchase from last week. So I use the live chat feature and they tell me that they won't give me any credit for the items I purchased despite the fact that I received them less than 3 days ago. I asked to speak to someone else about it but she said they would tell me the same thing. So I didn't even get to try to resolve my issue with someone else. I said I was planning to make a $350 purchase today but this made me question the purchase and she didn't seem to care. Why purchase from a store that will give you zero credit for purchases you made days earlier? Not me. I'll just order from a more reputable store.

I just wanted to say I was at Madewell in at the Prudential Center in Boston with my daughter and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Amanda and the
Staff were great. Always look forward to going there.

I ended up on the wrong email list (US instead of the EU), hence I got bombarded by emails not related to me and with offers not applicable in my country. Contacted them and got the answer that I was on the wrong list. They asked for my country of residence (which they should know given that I ordered from them) but I answered. The nothing for weeks. Kept getting the same emails. I contacted them again, no reply. Then I unsubscribed for a bit more then a year.
I then decided to give them another chance because I do like their cloths. Yet again I got the wrong emails and yet again they didn't reply, so once more I unsubscribed.

What bugs me the most is not that I get the wrong emails, it's that the are arrogant enough to not reply. Also stupid because I did actually rave about them to friends and family and now I do the opposite. Can't trust a company who can't even solve the simplest thing or answer a polite email from a customer.

I do a lot of online shopping. I can honestly say this company has the worst customer service. I was sent the wrong item. They want me to ship it back to them and then reorder my item. So they made the mistake but they want me to fix it. Not shopping with them again.

I place an order today. It never said that one of the items was out of stock, I received an email stating that one of the items was out of stock after order was placed. I called to cancel the order, the customer service dept. were unable to cancel it because they were not the wholesaler of the product even though they sell it on their site and provide their number on the invoice. Also the address for the shipping and billing ended up wrong so i dont know if it will ever be shipped to me. Don't buy from them because you wont know if you can return your item.

Horrible customer service
November 16, 2021

Bought two pairs of pants to come in the mail. They got lost in the mail and they the resumes to give me a refund unless they received the package back. How am I suppose to return something I never received? The guy was super arrogant and refused to listen to me. Never again am I buying from them because of this experience.
