Untrustworthy
October 14, 2024
Updated review

I returned an order to The Outnet weeks ago and have been waiting for my refund ever since. Despite numerous phone calls and emails to follow up, I'm now being told that they can't confirm whether they've received the returned items and that the refund processing time is up to 6 weeks, even though their website states it should take 3 days. I was repeatedly assured that a manager would contact me, but this never happened. I was also promised updates via email, which I never received. I'm extremely disappointed with this experience and will not be shopping at The Outnet again. Be cautious if you're considering buying from them.

I have had a terrible experience with the Outnet, time and time again. I returned items the same day upon receipt, with tags attached and products unused, and had to chase my refund 7 weeks later, holding forever on the line, after endless attempts to reach out to them by email. Do not shop from the outnet.

BECAREFUL, They loose your order!
December 28, 2024
Updated review

I'm honestly beyond frustrated with The Outnet and their handling of my recent order. It's been a full month, and my order was *lost* by UPS, yet I've received absolutely no resolution or compensation. All I've gotten from The Outnet is generic, cookie-cutter responses that provide no actual solution.

After multiple follow-ups, they've given me the runaround, constantly telling me they're "looking into it" or that I need to wait for UPS to resolve the issue. But there's been no proactive effort on their end to escalate things, and I'm still out the money I paid for my order.

I understand delays happen, but this lack of accountability and communication is just unacceptable for a retailer of this caliber. It's like they've completely abandoned any sense of responsibility once the order leaves their warehouse. I've emailed them multiple times with no concrete answers, and each response feels more like a brush-off than an actual attempt to help.

It's been a full month, and I'm still waiting for my money back, with zero urgency or empathy from their customer service team. I used to love shopping on The Outnet, but after this, I'm seriously reconsidering ever buying from them again.

I had called UPS and they even said that sometimes their drivers drive off with big boxes as they have knowledge of "expensive" retailers. Because I live so close to the Swiss/German border, UPS doesnt even use UPS vehicles to deliver. Its like they hire white vans to deliver UPS packages so they just drive off with the goods and never return. The fact that UPS is telling me this and The outnet is telling me they have alot of issues of this kind but they continue to use them?
My order was about 2500 EUROS and there is no sign i will get my money anytime soon.

If you're considering making a purchase, just know you could be dealing with lost packages and months of frustrating back-and-forth with zero resolution. Absolutely unacceptable.

I made a huge order on the OUTNET worth about 3K and I ended up keeping just 2 items so the total refund I'm expecting is 2.5K.

I had sent the box back with the 3 copies of the invoice outside the box in a plastic slip ( the usual ones for shipping documentation) I sent this back on September 2nd and on the 8th I checked the tracking and saw that UPS was saying there was a commercial invoice missing. I called UPS and they said the retailer had to provide the information. I called the outnet and made them aware and they said they would contact UPS. I guess this wasn't done because UPS made 3 attempts to delivery the package back to me but I was already on holiday so I kept emailing and calling OUTNET and they kept saying " we have forwarded this to the corresponding team" on September 14th I called UPS and they said the package was taken to warehouse as it was classified as abandoned. I called OUTNET again and they said they would be in touch with UPS to open an investigation. By September 28th I called UPS and they said no investigation was opened so I had to open one myself. I keep calling and emailing and they keep saying they will contact me when they have a resolution or update. Also on their website says to attach all 3 copies of the invoice outside but UPS told me I should always put one copy inside the box for when they open the box to check in customs. So the OUTNET literally has the wrong information on their website.

Can anyone advise on what to do. Would my bank help me in this case? Or should I take them to small claims court? It quite a large amount!

Beware - they might just take your money
September 20, 2024

I've shopped with TheOutnet for years, always trusting them to deliver the luxury experience they claim to offer. But after my recent experience, I'm left feeling nothing but frustration and anger. A month ago (25th August), I ordered a bag, and while UPS tracking claimed it was delivered, there was no proof—no signature, no photo, nothing.

Since then, I've been stuck in a loop of excuses, contacting TheOutnet at least six times to be told the same meaningless line: "We're investigating." It's been almost a month now, and they've given me no answers, no refund, and no sense of responsibility for the money they've effectively stolen from me.

At this point, it's clear they have no interest in resolving the issue. It's outrageous that a company selling high-end brands thinks it's acceptable to leave customers without their purchases or their money.

If this is how they treat loyal customers, beware—TheOutnet may just take your money and leave you hanging, as they've done with me.

This is the worst customer service ever! Do not trust a promise they make when resolving an issue for you! Their "customer care team" are uncaring, repetitive and just pass you onto the next member, just to hear the same lame excuses! I'm sending everything back to them that I have purchased! Don't waste your time!

Bought a Sandro jacket. I received it within 4 days (the Netherlands) and everything is perfect! Paid with Paypal just to be sure, reading all the negative reactions (since Paypal provides an insurance). But dont need to return it fortunately!

Horrible customer service
September 25, 2023

Beware ordering from this company you cannot return or exchange anything. I ordered an Alice and Olivia dress and the chain came broken. They were not helpful, if you order something you are stuck with it. Better off ordering from a department store.

While the content and prices can be good, they take payment immediately, then it took 1 month for my order to arrive, and despite sending my return over 1 month ago I have still not received my refund. I raised two complaints and they just send the same generic response.

And then after posting this review on Trustpilot they did a PR spin saying a member of the team had contacted me which is categorically not true.

If the clothes doesn't fit you're stuck with it
October 28, 2023

Order and pray it will fit you! There's no exchange, no return. I contacted then multiple times but they told me that the item I ordered went on a final sale, hence there's nothing they can do. (There was nothing mentioned about the final sale when I was buying it) Basically stuck with the box of useless clothes and lost my money for no reason.

Slippers I ordered came infested with fleas.
October 6, 2023

Yes, the shearling slippers I ordered from Outnet came infested with fleas. I didn't realize it right away and noticed it after wearing the slippers for 20 minutes around my house. Now my dog and the whole house are infested with fleas.
So far I spent over $200 on flea insecticide, vet visit and countless hours of vacuuming and laundry.
Customer Service couldn't care less. I called them, emailed them—went all nine yards because I was shocked and appalled. They said that out of their GOODWILL they will refund me the money for slippers before I send them back. (So they can sell it to another unfortunate person I guess).
I have never seen such audacity before.

I do not recommend purchasing from them. They have the worst customer service. They are rude and do not care about their customers. It took more than one month for my package to be delivered. I called them for the refund, they refused to do it. The quality of their clothing and shoes are not good. I bought a pair of JIMMY CHOO shoes and it looks fake.
