Terrible customer service
September 18, 2019

I bought several items from Charlotte Russe and one item was not delivered. I emailed them several times about it and they never responded.

I'm something of a 'shoe queen' and used to buy a lot of shoes from Charlotte Russe.

That was when they had a broad range of cute styles in a broad range of sizes. I wear an 11 and finding cute / fashionable heels is a challenge that this site used to meet admirably.

Nowadays their selection of 'larger' sizes is pretty grim and I drifted away from them to other sources - but I wish they'd figure out that girls feet are getting bigger and they should keep up with their customers' demographics.

Just hoping someone sees this review and it strikes a chord. A girlcan always hope, right?

I was supposed to receive a refund but kept getting the run around from customer service. After several emails back and forth they said someone from the "store team" would contact me. This was back in November 2018. I never heard from anyone from the "store team" and wasn't refunded my money. Horrible customer service and company!

Disappointing
January 23, 2019

I ordered some items from the web site on January 18th, it did not ship out until the 21st. I checked the estimated arrival time it first said the 23rd now it's saying the 28th. My first order arrived yesterday and one of my sweaters smell like a damp basement.

I just recently made my first purchase online. Charlotte Russe jeans are my absolute favorite and they were even cheaper online than what I normally pay for them. In addition to the jeans I also ordered sweaters, jewelry, and shoes. Everything was delivered very quickly, exactly as described and packaged very well. I will definitely be placing another order.

Really good
December 17, 2018

Never had an issue with them. They have good deals and decent quality for the cheap price. The shoes aren't always the most comfortable but it is a fast fashion store so what do you expect. I never had issues with customer service, in fact, when I did have order problems they always responded in a very timely manner and were very helpful.

I have been waiting for 12 days to get my order, it should have been here by now, they said it will be here Saturday, and now I check again and track it the package now says the 11th so that's an additional 3 days. Plus they chose Smart Post which means the package will be delivered to some random place for me to have to go pick up instead of being delivered. It has taken me months to find the perfect dress for my sons's wedding next week and now I have nothing. I will never shop here again or step foot in their store, It's a shame because I like their store.

Charlotte Russe stores in malls usually look like indoor garage sales, so I hate shopping in-store. However, I love online shopping at Charlotte Russe. I pick out at least 10 clothing items per order and they always come on time. They quality of their clothes is not the best, but you get what you pay for. For the price, I'm always very satisfied. I have yet to have a bad experience and recommend this website anyone who likes online shopping and trendy stylish clothes!

I purchased a chenille sweater from here. The care instructions said to machine wash on delicate, so that's what I did and the sweater practically fell apart. I contacted them and explained what happened and asked if I could return the sweater and they told me to use the return label that was shipped with it. Since I liked the sweater before I washed it, I threw the return label away. I asked them to email me another and they said that was not possible. So when i told them to forget it because i would just write a bad review and take the loss, instead of just giving ne a refund, they sent me another horrible sweater! So I again followed the care instructions only this time I put it in a mesh laundry bag first, as I thought maybe that would hold it together better. It didn't. So in the end I got two horrible sweaters that fell apart in the wash that i ended up throwing away. Bottom line is terrible clothes and terrible customer service, hence the terrible review.

I ordered and paid for 2 shirts and two skirts. They email me saying only one skirt was shipped because the rest were sold out. I was not refunded yet and it has been over week. I even wrote them an email and no response yet.

No problems
June 23, 2018

I've been shopping online here for years and have always had positive experiences. The most recent time one of my items I paid for was not in my order, I called and they gave me the credit for the missing item by the next day and they didn't question me at all, super helpful and friendly. My only downside is having to pay the extra money to have it shipped to Canada as it adds on a significant amount but other than that I've always been happy with my orders, I was surprised to see so many negative reviews

Never had an issue
April 27, 2018

I always order online because i purchase on their plus size line. I usually buy items on sale but otherwise their whole site has reasonable prices. Have not purchase shoes, or intimate wear so i cant help with that but their clothes is great contemporary and i love shopping at this site with all the promotions they offer. If you want a further discount sign up to receive email.

Just like in-store!
March 31, 2018

I absolutely love Charlotte rouse online. They have more deals going on sometimes than in the actual store. Their description and pictures of the clothing are definitely true to their word. I once ordered a short that came in the wrong size and they were quick to resolve the issue without the hassle of trying to pay shipping and handling fees. If you can't make it to an actual store online is worth it!

I really like this store specifically for crop tops/tops, dresses, underwear, sandals, and jewelry. Been using this site for the last few years and never had any issues except the occasional out of stock product which has always been refunded.
They always seem to be having different sales/promotions going on.
I've spent anywhere between 6$ (with free shipping) and 100$ on a single order with no problems at all.
Nice quality and cute styles!
:D

Trashy!
March 7, 2018

Charlotte Russe used to be one of my favorite stores to shop in. Now all of their clothes look trashy! Who the hell decided that ratty looking clothes were in fashion?! I would rather have sweaters that did not look as if moths had been munching on them. I don't want jeans that have tears all throughout them. Hello! These clothes will not last, and then guess what happens! You have to spend more money buying MORE clothes.

Quality on the decline
January 20, 2018

I have shopped here for years, the plain black leggings here used to be my favorite! They no longer carry those same leggings and have filled their stores with cheap material leggings that not only are see through but look scratchy. I used to buy a ton of stuff everytime I stopped by, I'm not sure whos picking the styles they now have but I am not a fan at all. I can barely find anything I like anymore. The quality in their clothing has definitely declined, and the swiftness of shipping online orders has as well. I'm very disappointed recently as I've always loved this store, it has been my go-to for a very long time. If something doesn't change, I will no longer be a customer.

Very disappointing
December 23, 2017

I bought a pair of boots from CR I knew they wouldn't last forever but the heel broke the very first time I wore them. Totally unacceptable in my opinion I paid $40 to wear shoes one time. I contacted customer service and they will not replace or refund. Very disappointing.

I took a chance on ordering from Charlotte&russe after reading a few negative reviews, I figured if it wasn't up to my standard I could return it in store. I placed my order on November 8th, today is November the 14th. I originally went to look for cheaper boots, given that I wanted a couple of pairs. Both thigh high boots are great, and comfy. WAY better than forever21 shoes, who's always hurts my feet. The clothes were also, great for the price. I called ahead of time to go over my order as I've read people have received missing parts to theirs. Customer service was great, very helpful. They went over everything with me with no complaints. Definitely will be ordering again.

Worst experience
November 10, 2017

I ordered my items Oct 31,2017 and they did not ship it out until November 2nd. First time I called to verify everything was okay, which they advised me that it was just a delay. Then I waited I
Checked the status again on the website which stated it would be here November 7th, it never arrived. I called customer service which took me 5-6 times to get through and there was a loud fax noise each time I called. The rep told me she wasn't sure where my belongings were and to call back November 8th if I didn't receive it, I never received it. I called back November 8th yet once again it took me 13 times to get through because the number was out of service. The rep advised me my items would arrive November 9th. I asked for manager the rep said none were available. I asked for corporate information and the rep said she couldn't give that to me. She assured me November 9th I would receive them, which I finally did. I purchased 8 items and they only sent 7. I called around 9 p. M and could not get through, office closed at 10. This by far the worst customer service experience I've ever had. I just want my money back.
