      I need resolution with many returns I sent back to victoria's secret. The package was sent back on April 10th at 5:17pm, that was delivered to the merchant (VS returns) on April 17, 2024, 12:30 pm. The tracking number is **************************. I have chatted with Victoria's secret a few times and called them on this matter and still there has been no resolution. The large box shipped back contained 7 return orders (all items returned from each order). When i spoke to a customer service agent prior to sending them back they told me to add all return orders in one box to make it easier and ensure the money was credited back to my credit cards and assured me I would get my full credit back to the original form of payment I used. It is now almost one year later and still refunds have not been credited for all the orders i returned. I received a credit for only 1 out of the 7 returns. I went on vacation last July 2024 and returned hoping this would be resolved but it wasn't. Im not sure why i was only refunded for 1 order when 7 orders we're in the box. I separated them out in bags, each with their own return slip as I stay very organized. One year is an extremely long time to wait for refunds to be credited. Another issue I was your database in store didn't work when I attempted to return these early April. The associate said returning thru mail I would receive my full credit back to my original form of payment due to this issue. Below is a breakdown of orders sent back in same box and have not received refund credits:W119048386 (items 10) - $551.80 W119183493 (items 15) - $334.55 W119184320 (items 6) - $51.87 W119002941 (items 2) - $29.95 W118309083 (items 7) - $100.96 W117999944 (items 3) - $94.90 Please issue 6 credits back my original form of payment, totaling $1,164.03. I have provided all pictures of the orders and **** tracking information. Note: Order W118230724 is the only order refunded from the 7 orders that were ALL returned in the same box.

      I made a purchase online, none of the items fit me- so I returned them using the pre paid label sent for the return. The items were sent out on 3/28 when I received the label. **** shows the receiver took possession on 4/2, they are still trying to charge me for the items. They told me that even though they have the items I have to pay for them and they will refund me at a future date when they decide to finish processing the return which could be another ***** days.They then told me I would be charged a late fee even if they have the items

      This inquiry concerns order W139687049. Initially, I reported not receiving the order, but after my refund request was denied, I had to obtain door cam footage from my neighbors to determine who took my package or where it went. A few days later, I retrieved the parcel, but no longer needed the items. I tried to return the order to my local store but was told that all items in the order had been flagged. I was given ************ to resolve the issue. I called, spoke to a customer service representative, who transferred me to the verification team. They referred me to ************, the number for *** *******, a senior specialist for claims. I have called Eve 5-7 times, leaving voicemails, but she hasn't returned my calls. When I asked the verification team if she was on vacation, they said her voicemail picks up every time, even when shes in the office. This suggests she has received my calls but chosen not to assist. The issue with my order is that two itemsthe For ************* ******** Bow Thong ***** and Brawere missing. Instead, I received two different Love and Lemons items. I wanted to speak to Eve to prevent return issues at the warehouse. Yesterday, I mailed the entire order back as I couldnt return it in-store, (photo of the return label will be attached to this complaint). Since Ive received no help over the phone, I took it upon myself to return the entire order. I am now requesting a full refund. If I do not receive assistance, I will file a chargeback with my bank, providing proof of the return and my attempts to resolve the issue.

      My wife and I placed an order for over one thousand dollars and my order was shipped in two packages, I received one but not the other. When looking at the delivery photo for one of them, it clearly shows the package was delivered at my front door, but when looking at the other all the picture shows is a picture of my house, nothing else, doesnt show any picture of the package itself. I contacted ******** secret about this and was told I would be receiving a refund because they can clearly see that there was no package delivered to me, and even when checking my ring doorbell it clearly shows no package was delivered to me that day. For some reason today I got an email saying they were unable to process the refund? Im confused as to why they would even offer me a refund to begin with if they knew they were going to blatantly lie and mislead us. My wife has been shopping here for years and weve never had any experience like this with not only ******** secret, but any online retailer. Were both very disappointed with the dishonesty, and to be honest we dont even want to shop here anymore after this horrible experience.

      Complaint: 23129874

      I am rejecting this response because: 

      Ive contacted you guys countless times about this and every time Im given the same run around. After about 4 calls and countless emails of me explaining the situation, I was finally told that I may be contacted in one day or one month, which is really no help at all as I ordered a lot of these items for a vacation. At this point a dispute might be my only option as it seems like ******** secret is purposefully trying to make everything as difficult as they can to avoid trying to give me a replacement or refund. One of the worst customer service experiences Ive ever had in my life, my wife and I will no longer be shopping at Victorias Secret ever again.

      I have a Victorias Secret credit card and unfortunately, I became unemployed back in December 2024 so I signed out for the account assure program which basicallyhelps if you get unemployed, disabled, etc., to pay the balance on your Victorias Secret credit card. They made a payment to Victorias Secret on December 30 of 202 for one 3976. It left a balance on my account of $45.06. ******************************************* charged me a late fee because of interest that was on my account from Assure And now my balance is going back up to $139 and I dont know what the cents are because of unnecessary late fees from Victorias Secret. I call today and speak with a supervisor in regards to why my bill is so high and the supervisor was not very one professional or two accommodating as far as properly explaining to me why my bill had gotten so high he just kept saying review your statement

      I recently attempted to exchange two defective bras, totaling $90, which had broken underwires in the same spot, and the bling was falling off immedielty after i put it on. When I went to the store, the supervisor was rude and hostile. I explained I didn't have the receipt but had the credit cards used for the purchase. She refused the exchange and couldn't provide me a reason and she threw the bras in my face. I was on the phone with customer service during the interaction, and they overheard everything. No one took the time to look me up in the system or ask my name. I felt racially profiled because i was wearing a hijab and treated as though I had stolen the items. l also asked for corporate contact information, but was told by staff that they had other customers to assist and then when trying to ask for assistance they acted like i wasn't there.

      after purchasing items I realized that I had purchased the wrong sizes and accidentally added something extra into my order I decided to attempt to cancel so I could attempt to reorder, I realized only within 1 hour within purchasing , my order had not been shipped but they refused to cancel my order , after speaking to 2 representatives and even calling customer service they still denied my cancellation claiming my order had been shipped even though I had received no notification of the shipment and the order still said proccessing. I have still not resolved this issue as they still refuse to cancel the order.
