Ordered on 12/3/15 "express shipping", here it is 12/17/15 STILL NOT HERE!
Previous order was cancelled, by them, I had to call and ask where order was, and was told they were out of stock, "Would you like a refund"? No, keep my hard earned money, you idiots!

I was scared.
July 14, 2017

I had made to separate orders online, one order being 2 pairs of shoes and the second being about $177 worth of merchandise that I got for $53 (waited a while for a good sale lol), after placing my orders I google "Pacsun delivery reviews" and come to my surprise the reviews were God awful, so I was scared, the reviews stated things never coming, things being wrong, even getting OTHER people's orders. Lol, everything came out fine and in a timely matter, I'm more than happy with my purchase!

Worsr place to go to.
August 13, 2017

First of all. All of their $#*!s are at zumies and 21FE for much cheaper price. The worst thing comes in when you want to work there. I have done an application 6 months ago. And i kept asking them if im accepted or not. Simple question. Then they keep telling me to wait. Because they need to see when they can gove me an interview. From that day. I have seen 5 new workers working there! And they still havint called me to even say if im not accepted. I asked them to please let me know. Because if im not accepted. Whore cares? Ill apply somewhere els. But they made me wait. And i lost 6 months of my time not working.

They are bunch of ammature 15 year olds working there.

PACSUN = GET THE $#*! OUT.

Scared
September 5, 2020

I came on here to see if anyone else was having issues with their shipment and now im scared that I won't even see my clothes with how bad Pacsun seems to be dealing with their shipments this is my first time buying anything from them and it is safe to say my last I ordered $437 worth of clothes over a month ago and it is still in the process stage all I'm trying to say is if you spend that amount of money anywhere and get no feed back about your items for over a month its a little scary I feel like Pacsun just robbed mee and everyone else who spent money buying their clothes just to not receive them why is this not being talked about on social media platforms then I wouldn't have even spent a dollar here im just frustrated and would like to be done with Pacsun forever definitely taking my business elsewhere when I decide to buy anymore clothes and thats on period

Decent clothes, extremely difficult to ship clothes back, they don't provide a shipping label. Also customer service never responds.

DISAPPOINTING
July 9, 2020

I ordered size 5 womens shoes, they gave me sIze 5 of men's which is clearly a size 7 for women. I also ordered a shirt, paid for it, been waiting for an update for a week now so i contacted customer service, they told me they have cancelled the shirt because it was sold out. They didn't inform me about it. Also, UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE! Some stuff are listed available but are sold out already.

So I ordered a t shirt which was heavily discounted and to make the *free shipping*, a long sleeve shirt as well. I filled out my information and proceeded to check out. My total was $58. Looked good to me! Order placed. Checked my bank statement and saw $68 charged. I immediately emailed their customer service department, which by the way is allllllllll the way in the Philippines. Lady got back to me the next day saying I need to check over everything before I proceed. Well duh, who doesnt do that? She refunded the money which is fine. The part that pisses me off is, I placed my order on 4/19/18. It is now, 5/2/18. Youre seriously gonna charge me $10 shipping sent FedEx Smartpost!? It says scheduled delivery by 5/9/18. No idea where it is. Hoping it shows up sometime soon.

I ordered five items here on cyber Monday and one by one my items shipped. My fourth item arrived on Dec 13th and I was just waiting for the fifth item. It's now Dec 29th and I just checked on the website that the item was not shipped. After reading all the reviews on here I'm guessing that they cancelled that item even though I didn't receive an email or anything to let me know that. At least I wasn't charged for it though. I'm never shopping online here again!

I've been waiting since May 5th, 2020 for my package. I only bought ONE item! I get that there's a COVID 19 pandemic but its going to take months to get a package arrived to my house? I hope that it's not lost or anything because it has had the same tracking information since May. This was the worst first experience shopping online in PacSun. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!

To start, there has been multiple times I've placed an order on pacsun.com that included an item that qualified for free shipping (stated on their current "coupons & promotions" page) and found out later I actually was charged for shipping. Customer service has always fixed this, but getting through to someone is always very difficult and if you reach out on social media, they say you have to call. Shipping takes a while, and it doesn't update for a few days, or will be stuck in processing. I've waited upwards of a month to receive an item I ordered a few months back and customer service didn't help, but I ended up getting it later on thankfully. I've also had an item cancelled for being "out of stock" but then when I went back on the website they are in stock and available to purchase. Quality is decent, depending on what you buy, but sometimes I get items a week later and sometimes a month later. Purchasing and shipping is very inconsistent and if shipping was free, I'd understand but it's frustrating to have to pay for shipping and then still have to wait weeks.

Worst experience of my life. Do not and I mean do not order from Pacsun online. Yeah it didn't take too long to get here, but I ordered EVERYTHING in my EXACT size (I shop in the store all the time, I easily know what size to pick) and when all 4 of my items came, they looked different than the picture first off. Second, everything was HUGE. And I mean huge. Like I literally grabbed everything and went right to the store and found the exact same BRAND of jeans in the exact same SIZE I ordered and wow, they fit perfect. So frustrated. Stores are finally reopening (well at least in Michigan) so please, just wait and go in the store. I promise it's not worth the wait.

No More Playboy
November 25, 2021

I walked into a PACSUN store on Black Friday and was shocked by the playboy logo plastered on a majority of the clothing and accessories. I'm appalled that PACSUN executives are promoting a pornographic brand to young men and women. With so much trauma coming to light with the "MeToo" movement and the sexual harrassment and misconduct in our schools and college campuses, I'm upset that the company would promote this brand. Playboy is about paying money for sex and I won't be spending money at a store that carries this brand.

Cancelled half my order
December 15, 2019

First of all it has been 3 weeks since I ordered, I ordered 5 shirts and 2 pairs of pants. Well so far they have shipped one shirt that I haven't recieved yet, they sent 3 different emails saying they are cancelling parts of my order because they are "no longer available", well dont sell them to me in the first place. I have tried to email them several times and never recieved a response. This is the WORST company I have ever had the displeasure of purchasing from. I have spent probably $1000's in their brick and mortar stores, but I will never purchase from them again.

Update: 12/18 I recieved an item today, what was supposed to be in the package was a XL black Obey shirt, what I got was a females Med white reckless shirt. This company is unbelievable. I really can't believe a company can mess up this bad.

Update 12/30 so I just called about the last shirt I was supposed to get, they had sent me a tracking number a while ago saying the label was created and it stayed like that for weeks, I sent several emails regarding it and only got a generic email back that didn't address any of my concerns. Well they stated the package got "lost in transit", well looking at the tracking number the item never even made it to the shipping facility. So out of everything I ordered I got one shirt. Worst company ever.

Worst EVER!
December 19, 2017

Placed an order the end of November for my nephews bday Dec 9th... 10 days after the order I was informed 2 of the items were out of stock, and the one item was shipping on Dec 10... It is now Dec 19th, tracked the item and delivery was scheduled for Dec 18th by 8:00pm... guess what? Still not here, in fact, tracking now states it was shipped to wrong address and to add an additional 2-3 days for delivery... I will NEVER buy from this store again! HORRIBLE. 0 stars, but not an option!

I purchased a Fear of God item when I tried to sell it on Stock X the expert rejected it because of manufacturing defects and PCSUn refused to ex hangs or return it., please be aware when you buy expensive items from PACSUN online or I store, triple check your items.

I bought a pair of jeans for my teenage daughter for work. The first pair lasted 3 months and the crotch literally unraveled. Not on the seam. I thought it was a fluke so bought another pair. THE EXACT THING HAPPENED AFTER 3 MONTHS OF WEARING THE JEANS MAYBE ONCE A WEEK. I went into the store with the jeans expecting some action and instead was told - there is a 30 day return policy regardless of whether they are defective and if worn, no warranty. I was dumbfounded and made sure I heard it right and they did not give 2 $#*!s about me or the jeans. Very very disappointing. We will not shop there again.

I placed a 250 dollar order with overnight shipping over a week ago. Signed up for message updates everything. And they have done nothing so far. My order still has not even been processed by the warehouse I have gotten no updates. But my package has been received by the warehouse so they just aren't processing it. I ordered 6 pieces of clothing over 40 dollars per piece of clothing and it has taken a them this long to still not even have it processed. You would think they would have a sense of urgency if they are going to charge over 40 dollars for a short sleeve shirt and another 30 + for overnight. Compared to everywhere else you can shop this will never again be my first choice. I can safely say they have lost my business after this order arrives whenever that may be. The clothing they are selling is great but when it takes this long with overnight shipping to even be processed by the warehouse after it is received by that same warehouse it is not worth it by any mean for me. And nowhere on my tracking does it say that they need to be shipped to the warehouse from out of country which is why I thought it was taking so long so there really is no reason for it to takes weeks to even process my order. And nowhere on the website does it say shipping will take this long. No warnings whatsoever just weeks of waiting and text messages about how you should go buy more from them when you haven't even received your first order. Bad customer service all the way around on this one.

Gift Cards Not Delivered
December 23, 2018

Ordered 2 Gift Cards on 12/14 and paid $15 extra for 2 day UPS Air and it's 12/23 and still no cards. When you call customer service you reach someone outside of the country and they they tell you they will escalate the call to a Manager and then tell you a Manager is not available and will get back to you in 1 to 8 hours. Same response when you email Customer Service. Save your money and time and go elsewhere. Lousy Company with TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
