stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Nothing happened phone call was pleasant and representative was very thorough and patient. Im older and a little slower when it comes to commuters and technical stuff she was patient and understanding.

She was very helpful . The phone call lasted but a few minutes but we were able to complete what I the customer needed to get done

Dirty dressing room in Ajax Store

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Their dressing room has not been cleaned in at least a month. I was there last month and again today.

Also They had 70% off clearance. Then the next promotion was a $15.00 off coupon if you spent over $30. When the coupon took effect they switched from 70 to 30% off.

On a $99 dress at 70% off is $27.72. On the new promotion the $99 dress at 30% off, minus $15 coupon is $54.30.

User's recommendation: Do the math, don’t assume your getting a bargain, because you have a discount coupon.

Please send my order to my current address. It was sent to an old address, i moved 15 years ago! I have ordered from Banana R many times. Not sure why it went to this address.

I continue to call customer service. How frustrating!!!

I press the number regarding order status and it dosen't go through. How convenient for you!

Be aware of scam ads in their website!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I ordered a dress from their website and a pop-up ad appeared on my screen from a fraudulent company called Free Shipments.com. At first, I didn't notice, but this company charged me $25 for their membership.

I did not share my bank information with this website; however, they obtained all my banking details from the Banana Republic website!

They should have better brand safety measures and protect their customers from these intrusive pop-up ads. I will never shop there again!

Do not purchase!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I took a long break from be mainly because they moved out of our area.recently saw some items I liked online. Placed four separate orders over the last couple month.

All four came in incorrect!! I am still waiting to hear what they will do with an order where they charged me but item was missing in order.

Yes, they make you fill out a form and they may or may not approve it and apparently if they do t you have to do a charge back with your card.yes I am done. DO NOT DO ORDER FROM BR!

NO TRACKING # INFORMATION - ORDER IN PROCESSING MODE WITH NO END

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review updated Sep 10, 2024

MY ORD#1JV5BWY PLACED ON 09/05 AT 11:11AM - TOTAL OF ORD DEDUCTED AT SAME TIME FROM MY ACCT. 3 ITEMS PURCHASED, SMALL ITEMS.

3-5 BUSINESS DAYS FOR DELIVERY, WHICH WOULD BE 09/12, OR 09/13 - SINCE THE ORDER WAS PLACED UNTIL NOW, MY ORD IS STILL IN PROCESSING MODE. THERE IS NO WAY I WILL RECEIVE MY ORDER ON 09/12, NOR ON 09/13. THIS WAS PLACED AFTER FEDERAL HOLIDAY OF LABOR DAY WHICH WAS ON 09/02. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO CHECK IF MY ORD WAS BEING SHIPPED TODAY.

I WAS ASKED IF I WANTED TO DUPLICATE THE ORD, AND SHIPPED EXPRESS MAIL SO COULD RCVD ON FRIDAY, 09/13 AND PAY AGAIN FOR THE ORD WHICH WOULD BE (DUPLICATE ORD) $220.00. WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT I WOULD RECEIVE ON 9/13.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING THESE OUTLETS WITH GOOD PRICES IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO MEET DELIVERY DAY! I DON'T CARE FOR THE $10.00 FOR INCONVENIENCE, JUST MEET SHIPPING DATE.

Lost in the mail

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I never received this order of 6/4! I have been tracking this order since the due date of 6/14.

I have submitted requested updates and received no phone calls or updates! I have been lied to numerous times by customer service agents about the whereabouts of my order. This is the worst customer service ever! Now I get a notice that you have received 'my return'???

I never got the package, how did I return it???

I need answers from someone in the US, not lies from someone in the Philippines! I will never order or shop with Banana Republic again!

Banana Republic - Loved their store locations. Now is terrible!
Original review updated Apr 11, 2024

Wanted to find a men's linen shirt. Google showed Banana Republic as one option.

I have several things from them, but the pricing would not even show on their website! Screwed around a bit and saw it was $85 but still not the right details to make me purchase at that price. Perfect example of box store not working online well. They will not last...

:-(

In order to be viable online retailer, you MUST provide price and size options quickly. Any trouble there, you are GONE.

View full review
Pros:
  • Great quality
Cons:
  • Bad website

Preferred solution: a better online experience! I feel they have good products, but why so hard to find size and price? Basics. Come on.

User's recommendation: Quickly look for price and size options. I needed tall XXL and much trouble to get there, so not worth it.

I ordered a Jumpsuit from BR, to ship to my address, and billed to my credit card.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I received a confirmation today it was shipped to my ex daughter-in-law at an address she hasn't lived at for 9 years.

First I spoke to Miton in Mumbai, no luck, I have to fill out a claim after it's delivered, TO WHO ??

Delivery date is June 8th, and I am not able to fill out claim until it's delivered !!

And then refund takes 10-15 days !!!

I'm outraged at the total ineptitude of BR, shipping, customer service and lack of integrity !!!Don't order anything online from BRDont order ANYTHING online from BR EVER !!!
