“GREAT GREAT GREAT”

Minh T.
6/30/20

Despite the horrible negative comments I have read for 3 days, I still decided to give ssense a shot since only they have the shoes I want to buy with such a steal price. Anxiety starts hitting me after I started the order. The next day came, when I tracked the other, it was already there, at the front of my door. Excellent packaging, excellent quality and super fast, the best online order I have ever experienced before. Recommend you guys give them a chance.

“Awful buying experience and even worse Customer Service”

Sarah A.
9/15/24

Ordered an $800 designer belt and it arrived in nothing but a kitchen ziplock bag thrown into a battered cardboard shipping box. Contacted their customer service to complain and received an extremely rude, argumentative, and deflective reply saying they were doing it for environmental and sustainability purposes. You guys are full of BS if you think you can convince anyone your idea of environmental packaging is by using PLASTIC ziplock bags. Let's not try to act like there aren't thousands of brands who have adopted sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging options. You guys just want to cut corners and save a few bucks on packaging all the while blaming the designers "for how they shipped it to you" as if there aren't tons of other luxury outlets that offer their own in-house packaging (I can think of 5 just in Canada). Don't market yourselves as a luxury company when you offer such a terrible buying experience and horrific customer service.

Ordered Dr. Martens boots for my daughter on there website. The website guaranteed delivery in 2 days. On the third day I check the email. Dhl stops delivery. I email the company asking why dhl stopped delivery, instead off calling dhl the company tells me to call dhl myself. I email them back telling they should take care of that and provide ETA. Then I get 2 conflicted emails first email saying they resolved the problem, and another email saying dhl doesnt have my apartment number and I should contact them to give them my apartment number. Unbelievable they left the apartment number off the shipping label. However the money from my card that requires a full address was taken immediately. On top of it all
Instead of apologizing for the mistake they made they wouldn't even correct the mistake. They had the nerve to email me to fix their mistakes. It's been a week I still dont have the boots and my money. After reading the reviews I see that there are hundreds of others this company defrauded out of money. Iam contacting the federal trade commission and the police. This company needs to be investigated.

SSENSE a luxury clothing brand which provides faulty products to the end user. What a ridiculous and pathetic online store. Will never shop with them again. I purchased a YSL handbag for $1390 USD of their website in Oct 2014. I received the goods about 10 days after the purchase. After a month I contacted SSENSE customer support to notify them that one of my handbag stitch was undone. I obviously purposely wont do this myself and the handbag was hardly worn (only on special occasions). SSENSE after two months responded back to me suggesting that I return the bag to them and they will provide me with a new one. Since, they didn't have the same colour i did not want to exchange it for another style or colour. I asked them to source the same one from the designer. After months of correspondence I agreed to sending the bag back (not worn during that duration) and requested for another colour. It has now been nearly 10 months now and this matter has still not yet been resolved. Their standard response is "we have contacted the designer and are waiting for their response". They now disagreed to provide a new bag or refund the money. I had returned the bag nearly 2 and half months ago and there still has been no solution. The most annoying part is that they initially provided me with a faulty bag. Stitching with any designer brand is covered by warranty. But according to them they are still SPEAKING TO THE DESIGNER.
I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS WEBSITE TO ANYONE. TOTALLY Ridiculous.

Shipping was insanely fast... couldn't be more pleased. Such a great shopping experience as well. Easy to filter out what you are and aren't looking for.

I got what I ordered and the product was in perfect condition. However, SSense did nothing to make me feel that I'm a valued customer.

Delivery was the best. Anyway I don't know why I have to write at least 100 characters now. These kinds of survey will make customer angry.
