“Obviously I will start with saying that they are not worth 1 rating. I have ordered 3 pairs of jeans worth AUD 200 on 24th of July, and after a month (3 days short), and a thread consisting of 11 emails, and four unsolved tickets, on 21st of August 2024, they declared that the package is untraceable and started a refund which is going to happen in 10 days. They know that they lost the package on 7th August, but they made me wait for 15 days to even update the actual status. this is the best example of how your ecommerce should not be.”

“Recently I made an online purchase via Americaneagle india website. I paid rs5000 but the order was cancelled by unknown reason and the company not refunded the amount. Customer care support is wastage , no use . kind of cheating people . Contacted many times but no response. So people stay away from the company suggest not to make any online orders .”

“The jeans have very poor quality and have different sizing, although they are the same model in different colors. Of course I had to pay for the return shipment to America myself (21€!!!!). My package was delivered to the returns center on 10/28 and to this day I still have no confirmation of receipt or notification of how my return was handled. The customer service does not even respond to my hat emails, despite supposed 24h response guarantee. I would NEVER order from there again. Update 11/23/2022: I still have not received anything, neither a reply, nor my money. I am now suing my money back via Paypal, as I see no other way out.”

“> Worse experience I ever had! I will never ever use this website again. Actually I won't go to the shop too, that's the most horrifying service I ever had anywhere. I'm super patient and never leave bad reviews but AE.com made me so angry I couldn't stop myself > The cart was automatically making the number of products higher during checkout! I couldn't understand why the amount goes up, until I found out this bug > They told that shipping address doesn't match a billing address and for that reason I can't pay with any of my cards. However, that was a lie, bc one of the orders finally went through (unfortunately) even though it still didn't match > I tried to place an order 4 times. Every time something went wrong. 3 orders were cancelled by them and finally reimbursed, 4th order got stuck in limbo. I don't even know if I will ever get my money bc they can't cancel the order which they deliver to wrong address and they say they 'don't know' where and how it'll be delivered (if ever). But until it's delivered money can't be returned (WTF?). And it will take them 1 month to find out and another two weeks to initiate return > Delivery address can't be changed, orders can't be cancelled. So you order things wrongly because their cart doubles or triples things in you cart and then they deny a cancellation > Never use an express delivery. You will not see your refund, you can't cancel it, and the deadline won't be met anyways (it takes them 2 days to find out they don't have the goods you want. And they state delivery is 3 days lol). >I never spent so much time, money, nerves to order things online and never faced such an unprofessional customer support. Awful awful experience”

“Don’t be fooled with online promotions and end up with wasting your time and money!!! They have buried ridiculous terms and conditions somewhere hidden in the app and expect each customers to know all about it ?! What a disappointing experience I had! Extremely unprofessional and poor customer support when trying to return online bought items. American eagle not able to make simple math calculations for returns!? I had fitting items that I kept, used and I wanted to return some unfit items. But I was asked to return ALL the items in unused condition regardless or they won’t be accepting any partial returns! I have been shopping online with many known brands with same promotions and none have ever created any issue on return items.. .Why customers have to suffer because American Eagle can’t get their math/accounting correct! I now ended up with unfitting items and AE simple don’t care at all! Everyone please be cautious before making any promotional purchases as most likely you will be fooled like me. I will be raising the same in consumer authorities too. You have no right to refuse unused items because they are on promotion!”

“After shopping and collecting an armful of clothing to try on, I went to the dressing room 14 minutes before closing. I was told that the dressing room was closed. Please give customers the courtesy of an announcement before cutting off the dressing room. This store missed out of hundreds of dollars in sales because I was not going to buy, try on at home and then return items.”

“I am totally disappointed about the jeans that I ordered online from the American Eagle website. The material was of bad quality, which was also damaged. Strongly recommend not to purchase from the store. Instead, opt for buying from offline stores where the quality could be easily verified.”

“I live in one city and went to another go shopping with my daughter at Aerie as a treat for her birthday. We spent over $100 and later we discovered that the store didn't remove the security tags. Not to mention the people weren't very nice or helpful in the store. After speaking with Jack at corporate I was told I would have to drive all the way back to have the tags removed. And the only thing they could offer for my gas, time and trouble was a 25% coupon. I simply asked if I could send the items back in and they could send the same items out in the mail. I do work a job and live in a different city and gas is very costly. In short the only resolve would be for me to drive all the way back for the tags to be removed and get a comp of a coupon so I could spend more money with a company that doesn't seem to care about their customers time or store experience. Not one person has seemed to care. And apparently the security tags are a joke, they never even went off.”

“I Ordered a pair of pants for my daughter on February 6. Was told I would be getting it within 2 to 5 business days. It’s now February 22 and I still don’t have the pair of pants. When I called the store to ask about the status the girl was very rude and had horrible customer service. The girls name I spoke with was America. Basically she said she couldn’t help me and she couldn’t refund me back the money. I asked to speak to someone higher than herself and she said she wasn’t working at the moment. When I asked her what her supervisors name was she tells me I can’t give it to you. I am super upset and will never shop at the Ingram store again. America needs a training on customer. She had a horrible attitude!!!!!!!!”

“I paid $60 for shorts that arrived clearly used. There was a bunch of sand in both pockets, and the tags were ripped off and clearly sewn back on. When I called customer service the rep had a mocking tone and said I couldn't exchange them and they wouldn't provide me with shipping materials- just a shipping label. A billion dollar clothing corporation tries to scam me by selling me obviously used clothes, and there is no explanation and no free exchange? The customer service rep also rudely hung up on me.”

“I was sent used jeans without tags. The jeans smelled like strong perfume and had noticeable friction in the crotch. Now I’m stuck dealing with their mistake and have to return them. Just so furious that no one in customer service seems to care about how gross this is. I spoke to 3 people. The best resolution I could get is send it back deal with it and a 25% off coupon.”

“I bought underwear that stretched out so much after one wash that they didn't fit anymore. The Aerie website says nothing about needing to keep the tags on clothing for returns - all it says is that you just need to have your receipt in order to get a full refund. I tried calling the store and spoke with the manager to confirm that I could return them. The manager said that since they had been washed, I could not return them unless I had approve from customer service. I then spoke with customer service, who told me it was up to the store manager to approve or not approve returns! Customer service was so poor that the agent I spoke with just logged out of the conversation before I could even ask questions. So now I spent money on underwear that didn't fit, with no way to return them, and wasted my time. I won't shop here again.”

“Let’s talk about their female jeans. If you every felt that you think too highly of yourself and needed a way to be humbled quickly, buy a pair in the size you think you are/what you normally take. After trying on a size 4 which has the same waist sizing as my size 2s, I never felt like starving myself the way looking in that mirror made me. Moose knuckle and all.”

“Here's my email to customer service and below is their response:Hi-I called Customer service and was referred to this email to report a problem with the quality of men's tee shirts. I purchased several tees 2 years ago, and followed the washing directions carefully. Over this time, the AE tees have faded, there are holes near the embroidered AE logo, and the necklines are stretched out. This is in comparison to LL Bean and Lands End tee shirts, purchased at the same time, and those brands have worn very well. I am enclosing a picture of one of 3 shirts to show you what I'm referring to. I am interested in you resolving this issue with replacement tees. Thank you.
