“Shipping times are horrible. And now with COVID, even worse, by like 2 weeks! I ordered 7 days ago, and they still can't give me a ship date, then it will take another 7 days to deliver, so apparently 3 weeks from time of order?!!! No one answers an email, no one answers a phone call, and the chat robots don't offer any solutions or help. SO FRUSTRATING.”

“Due to Covid-19, many businesses are closed. As soon as non-essential businesses began closing down, American Eagle began sending out promotional emails about their super sales and how internet sales will be their priority until all of the shut-downs and shelter-in-place orders are lifted. Many items were discounted significantly on the web, and "free shipping" was offered in most instances. I, along with several friends, went online and purchased items from American Eagle and Aerie in good faith, and our credit cards were charged upon purchase. However, the items never arrived. When I called the 800 customer service number, I was told that the items were "slightly delayed" due to the limited staff, but that they were working hard to get everything out. Another friend, after receiving FURTHER American Eagle promotional emails about another sale (which the website offered at this low price for a limited time only - she had to order before the end of the week) went online and purchased several items from Aerie as well, and like the rest of us, her packages never arrived, either. After about 3 weeks of this and the same remote answers from American Eagle call center staff, "We're working on it. It is set to go out tomorrow." Or "It is scheduled to go out tonight," I started getting emails from American Eagle stating that the orders may be "delayed" due to Covid-19. One email even said the orders might be cancelled. However, my credit card is STILL charged, and I am paying interest on items that I NEVER received!! I called American Eagle BACK and told them just to refund the items to my credit card, but I was told by them that they could not do this. The items could not be "returned" to my card until they have shipped. However, according to the emails, not only have the items not shipped, they may NEVER ship. I finally got an agent on the phone for American Eagle who is out of the country, and he told me, "Yes, our distribution center is closed down due to Covid-19. It was supposed to be re-opened in 10 days, with yesterday being the 10th day. It has been closed since March 17th. But not only has it not reopened, no one has contacted the call centers to tell us when or if it will EVER be reopened." So, American Eagle, just to clarify: You have been actively sending out emails to ALL your customers as well as advertising on your website that all these great prices are being offered exclusively for this short time-period, you are offering "free shipping" with online orders, and that customers have to buy NOW to take advantage of these great deals. And you KNOW that your warehouse is closed, is NOT scheduled to reopen at any specific date, and you are holding customers' money in limbo??? Why would you sell items to customers who, in good faith order and pay, when you KNOW you can't deliver the product?? A complaint is being filed with the Attorney General as we speak, and also with the Better Business Bureau.”

“Trust me! They don’t deserve this star right there! I had a credit card with American eagle Outfitters that I used to pay on time and stoped using it lately. All of a sudden, today I l noticed a new inquiry plus 5 points off my credit score and when I checked it out I found out that American Eagle decreased my credit limit. And when I called the account manager said that AE have the right to decrease and increase your limits from time to time, and then said to avoid fraud in your account! I said you guys are scam coz if you wanted to avoid fraud you would’ve close the whole account not decreasing my limit and hurting my credit score! We kept arguing and she hung up on my face. Don’t get credit cards from this company! Save yourself guys this headache”

“The style and fit of the EXACT. SAME. JEAN. ordered a year apart, fit differently. When I looked at tag in pant, the pair I already have and that fit great AND that I bought in store, it said made in Bangladesh. The new ones I ordered have a tag that says made in China. Each manufacturer should be using the same specifications for each piece of clothing! Terrible product management. I’m so disappointed bc AE has been the only jean that fit me right and are flattering on me. I hope you listen to your reviews and make adjustments...”

“After placing an order for a bday present and it went threw, charged and passed 3days, the day before arrival they cancel the order Sending an impersonal unjustified email. Poor CS. Now I have to run to get another present. This gave you an idea of their supply and chain. They don't have a clue...”

“Refunds! Ordered on line and the money came out of my account. The order was cancelled as one store didn't carry all items and wouldn't do 2 shipments and on day 4 still no refund tom account. Called and was told 10 day hold on funds that shouldnt have been taken out in the first place as shipment wasn't processed.”

“I was looking at sale items online, and the sale was on-going, but when I went to add the item into my cart, it showed the regular price. Then I attempted to chat, and was on hold for an hours. This is a 1 star hate review, because I won't shop there again. And I've been shopping their for years.”

“BUYER BEWARE CHEAP PRODUCTS HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Have experienced tje most unhelpful customer service with returning online. I had a package stolen one time and now they claim they can never help me regardless of the issue. Will not be shopping here anymore.”

“I tried ordering a gift card on line and system would not let me order. I called customer service, ordered the card, told all was ok, then got email order was canceled as my address didn't match bank address. I called bank and It was the same. No one at AE would take ownership of the problem which was their system. Said I would have to wait 24-48 hours for them to find problem. I cancelled the order and went to Amazon. No problem there. Amazon is big but has good customer service.”

“Terrible customer support online. Website return labels print button doesn’t work. Paying to return? Come on guys. Other companies are doing this way better. Create a print button for the app. And again terrible customer service.”

“I’ve shopped here since I was a teen. They have always had great quality and was a go to because I’m tall and they were very accommodating to my size. Fast forward to the last two years. I have really been dissatisfied with the quality of the clothing, and the sizes! EVERY.SINGLE. Shirt I buy winds up being a crop top. On the model these shirts come down past the zipper of the jeans, almost to the crotch. When I get my shirt, however, it looks NOTHING like what I saw. I understand body types are different, but if the model pictured is my height and body type what’s the excuse?! Not everyone wants to wear crop tops! I don’t know why I keep going back and wasting the money. Honestly I’m deleting the app and never shopping here again. I have wasted probably about 600$ in the last year on clothes I’ll never wear. Maybe I’ll find a dwarf to sell them to. Or maybe a toddler 🤷🏻‍♀️ #done”

“horrible shipping skills”

“Yup... pretty unhappy. Free return label was great but I was just told at LEASt two weeks for credit or exchange. And another two weeks after that for possible replacement. Poor Service. I will never online order from them again!!!”

“My first time ordering items from them. I ordered because of a 10 for $35 sale. I ordered multiple sizes/styles because I didn't know how they would fit. I had to exchange some of them because of style/fit. I tried going to my local AE to exchange them but no local stores carry the items. I was forced to return them through the mail. Most online retailers wave the return shipping fee when doing an exchange... but not AE. I paid the shipping anyway. The sale price was refunded and the pairs for the exchange were charged at FULL price (they were included in the sale at the time of purchase and exchange)! This is a bad business practice, not only does the customer have to pay for shipping both directions but then to not exchange the item, but refund and charge the replacements at full price. Never again will I shop here!”

“I order all the time from American Eagle, for myself and my kids. Usually have a great experience. This time I had a gift card to use on myself, I ordered 2 pair of jeans. First pair came quickly in the mail and fit perfect when I tryed them on and I put them in the wash to wear the next day. When I wore them I noticed the inseam looked like it was about to pull apart. But Ok, it happens. Few days later the next pair comes....Wrong size and has a security tag on it. When I called they told my I would have to wait two weeks for a refund on the gift card and then reorder online. They don't sell my size in store. They offered me no compensation for the inconvenience. So I'm out the money and have no Pants. Ugg. So Disheartening.”

“AE canceled my order without notice but took my money almost immediately. This is the second time it has happened and I am very angry about it. After taking the time to shop online and process the order they just say "hey the items are not in stock any more". Horrible experience the first time as it took two very angry phone calls for them to release the funds on my account. I can only imagine how things are going to go this time. I am canceling my AE account as soon as my money is released.”

“I ordered 16 items and 2 arrived in tact. The company ignored my questions, provided no help in locating the items, and have been cold and unhelpful. I have photographic evidence of my torn up and poorly sealed packaging, plus correspondence with the shipping company, FedEx. Still, American Eagle Outfitters have been completely unhelpful, if not downright rude.”

“I experience the worst customer service. I order a pair of pants . They cancel order after they taken my money. Stated a hold was on my account they release the hold. Then they resend the item after taking more money out of my account . After I ask when will I be refund they told my 14 days. That BS it took 14 sec to take my money but it take 14 day to get it back . I spend so much money with these guys In store and online. Me and my family. I will never shop with you guys again . And I will advise my family and friend to never buy anything else from you . Customer service is very important.”

“Offered free shipping on orders over £50 to UK then been sent invoice for vat and shipping. Lots of international customers had same experience. It is against the law in UK to deceive customers in this way. American Eagle should be ashamed of their criminal activities.”
