Zero would be more accurate
September 26, 2024

So disappointed in Ann Taylor, I normally buy from this brand a few times of the year because they stock petite sizes for work but never again.

I ordered a suit and realised less than five minutes later that I had ordered the size six instead of the size eight.

I checked to see they still had stock online - they did - and then emailed directly to the order/customer service to please provide me the size eight instead of the six.

They responded there were no exchanges, which is odd seeing that the product order had only minutes before been recieved and the correct size was in stock.

Zero customer service and as all good businesses stem from looking after their customers Ann Taylor will not have any left soon.

C'est la vie.

I purchased two of the Petite cotton crops one black, the other in Empire Gray. The Items I am referring to are 3616074, and 36172108. After the first wash the fabrics faded in color. I set them aside to donate them.
I've been shopping at Ann Taylor since 1980 and must say that the quality of the fabrics they use to make clothing has deteriorated.

Ann Taylor has SOME nice pieces (lots of pieces are also clearly made crappy junk) but it is truly not worth dealing with everything else. Free shipping over $150 (?!). Return label fees are $7.95. Both of those are WAY, way behind the rest of the industry and is an easy push to shop elsewhere who offers the same type of items, if not better, with a much lower free shipping limit, better return policy, and better website. Their customer service is horrible...not even a little bit knowledgeable, and their website is constantly having problems. I have a strong feeling they will go out of business in the the near future.

I've been shopping at Ann Taylor for years. It has been one of my go-to shops. While they are expensive, the quality of the clothing is generally very good. However, there has been an issue with my last 4 or 5 orders. While the items appear as in stock and I am able to order, I later get an alert that some of the items I ordered are not in stock. Just my luck that it is usually the items I'm most looking forward to receiving. It even happened with outfits I ordered for my mom's funeral services. This is rather frustrating. I hope AT updates their records more frequently to ensure that customers can actually receive the items they order.

Returned verified. No refund.
May 28, 2023

Sent back an item that didn't fit in a timely and in original package. Have proof that they received it and no response from them. Had to track it down and called them. Was told twice that refund would be credited to my account that day. Reported to BBB. Almost 50 days and they haven't responded to my return and still have my money. Something very fish! Don't order from them. I consider this stealing

Ineptitude, incompetence- the worst online customer service I've ever experience. Don't walk, RUN away from the company. I ordered a tank nearly a month ago- I still haven't received it. It processed for nearly two weeks and then when it finally shipped- well, now it's lost in the system. What's worse, the customer service reps and THE SUPERVISORS were absolutely no help. O. They told me how experienced they are- how many years they've been doing this- and were wrong every time.

I ordered 8 items on 11/27/23. Most of these items were intended for wear at various holiday events. 3 items were delivered on 12/5/23. I called to inquire about remaining 5 items. Was told all items would be received by 12/7/23. This did not happen although 1 item had shipped and was somewhere in transit. I called again on 12/7/23 and explained that I needed the remaining 4 items for holiday events. Representative told me should would place a new order for the 4 items and would ship overnight at no cost to me. What arrived the next day was 2 items!
Today, 12/9/23, it is too late for the remaining items so I called to cancel all remaining items. Was told I could not cancel them, even though they had not shipped yet! I protested and was told an "investigation" would occur and that someone would get back to me in 1-2 weeks! I requested to speak to a supervisor and was told a supervisor was not available!
This is outrageous customer service and I will never shop at Ann Taylor again!

What happened?
May 26, 2023

Ann Taylor quality has gone down over the past 10 years. Now the skirts feel like picnic table cloths. Everything is dry clean only. The shorts I washed shrank 5 sizes, changed in texture and wasn't colorfast. The only things for bigger busted women looks like bright frilly awnings. I was just in there and a lot of the seams were sewn crooked. I tried on a skirt that made me look like I had a giant hip on one side. In the store everything is full priced. I can't see paying nearly $200 for a top I can't even wash and needs an iron BADLY. Everything is jammed in so tight on the racks, wrinkles are awful. Don't shop there if you wash your own clothes, don't like wrinkles or if you want comfort. The weird poly material is horrible.

I would like to take this moment to express my opinion of Ms. Ludora Keyes, sales assistant located in the Lakeside Shopping Mall, Metairie, LA. Ms. Keyes, on many occasions has aided in making my shopping experience a pleasure and worthwhile at the Ann Taylor Store. She has displayed expert knowledge and great customer care in the performance of her job. I will always shop Ann Taylor stores, along as there are dedicated employees like Ms. Keyes.

I physically went into a store and purchased a birthday present for my daughter. The store indicated they would ship it because it was not available online. I received notice on Sunday it was delivered but in fact it was not and on Tuesday I received notice of a credit and that the order had been cancelled. I called customer service and after 25 minutes they offered to re ship the item to be received today and that is what the order said. Today I received notice the order won't be received until Friday at best--after the birthday and after the person has left town for the holiday. I spoke to the store manager twice who indicated I should call customer service. I called customer service and asked to speak to a senior person and was told there is no such person. They offered to cancel the order again.
