So a little while ago, I bought my husband a shirt, because he is skinny and tall (6'6") long sleeved shirts are hard to find for him. EB has a large tall that fits him perfect and for over 10 years I was purchasing him a couple a year, Now these shirts cost over $80. When you add on the shipping, One of them ripped right down the seem on the side, I was sent a voucher, I sent the shirt back, waited over a month, finally called customer service, do you know what I got, Attitude!
I called the next day and got a whopping $30. Voucher. For a 80 dollar shirt. SERIOUSLY! LLBean gives you brand new item, even after 10 years!

NOT HAPPY

I returned a defective item Eddie Bauer a month ago. Package tracking shows it arrived three weeks ago. Four customer service reps later (several phone calls, too) and I have yet to see a credit to my Visa card. Each time, I get lots of promises and no results.

An echo of past quality
January 30, 2017

Eddie Bauer used to have fine quality shirts.

They now use the same names ("Classic" and "Legend") but the quality is poor, cheaply made. Someone sold out for the profit margin, the name means nothing. Shame.

Offensive Sales Clerk
December 11, 2016

I went to E-B tonight with the family. Everything in the store was 50% off. Cool. I asked the clerk, Rachel, if i could use a bonus certificate that expired 11/14 and a rewards certificate (does not appear to have an expiration date). The clerk's response surprised me. She accused me of already using them, saying she had seen me in the store a while ago. That answer floored me. It ruined my night and my shopping experience at E-B. That was the worst customer service experience i have ever had.

Poor Customer Service
August 9, 2016

Extremely disappointed with employees that served my daughter and I at the Milton Ontario store this evening. Cannot believe what words came out of the person that is supposed to represent the Eddie Bauer image. Very dismissive attitude when we tried to explain why the pricing seemed off from what was posted. Will not be recommending this store location to anyone.

I made the mistake of accepting an Eddie Bauer credit card, and had my credit ruined as a result. Eddie Bauer doesn't handle their own credit. Their accounts are handled by a company called "Comenity." Comenity is notorious for late billing, poor account handling, and suspicious account activity. If you ever have a problem with an Eddie Bauer product, and you made the mistake of charging it to your Eddie Bauer account, you'll never get your money back.

Great store staff
June 8, 2016

I was recently in the Westfield Mall, San Francisco store. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. They suggested some shorts and pants (that i had ignored), and I found them to be the best choice for me. They obviously know their product, and work hard to assist customers with their needs. Can't remember their names, but I was there on 06/01/16 around 1:00 PM. Thanks again

I was an Eddie Bauer customer for more than 20 years. Lately the quality of their products is very poor but they will still charge $30.00+ for a plain white cotton t-shirt. Most of the clothing I have bought from them in the last few years (not much), I have had to throw them away or use for car rags within a year. Wouldn't think of donating because it would be insulting. Just ordered two cotton sweaters for a Christmas 2015 gift. They have been washed twice (cold water and no dryer) and look like faded, pilly rags. My husband wore them a few times. On sale, I paid over $40.00 for each one. I went to their outlet last summer and bought a cotton T-shirt for $5.00. The original price was marked as $54.00... talk about mark-up. Done with Eddie Bauer.

Shame on you Eddie Bauer! Your customer service should be called DIService. I tried to return one of 2 items I received as a gift from my spouse at your store in Littleton CO. I did not find anything I wanted to exchange so asked them, with my receipt in hand, to credit the item back to the card on which it was purchased. I was told I could have store credit or mail it in for credit. What is the difference? Oh, the $6-12 you charge for return postage. I DROVE to the store to return it but because I did not bring my husbands credit card, I was told I had to take store credit. I don't have to mail in my credit card when I do a return by mail! I will now be returning both items and shopping at REI from now on... NEVER had an issue with any returns and they always take care of their customers. I even called Eddie Bauer on the phone as I left the store... again... what customer service?

Very disappointed after $200 First Ascent coat started leaking after 5 years. Despite all marketing propaganda in store and on website, you only get a FULL refund if you kept the receipt. They offered me $59 for my coat, which is a joke. I will buy from lands end or llbean in the future, as they stand behind their guarantee!

If you are Canadian do not purchase items from Eddie Bauer online. I got a catalog in the mail which had a sticker on the front stating Borderfree delivery to Canada. It also stated that there was free shipping on purchases over $99. I started to purchase a coat which was only available online. When the final payment was calculated it included $24.77CND for shipping and $21.57CND for duties. Before putting in my credit card I called and asked why these charges were added on given what I saw on the catalog. I was told that there was something amiss in their system and to call back when the order went through. They said they would remove the shipping charge. When I called back after Ihad made the purchase, they said it was a mistake. So Eddie Bauer's claim of Borderfree delivery to Canada is bogus, there is NOTHING FREE about it.

I buy most of my nicer outdoors clothing, sweaters, hats, socks, etc. at Eddie Bauer. Shipping and customer service are both better than average.

This is a great brand. The clothes are high quality, and the store has great customer service. I love their outerwear: sweaters and jackets.

This is a pretty good site. The searches are easy. And, if I needed to return anything, the store's gladly accepted it.

This is the best ever site for outdoor clothing for camping and weekend play clothes. I have a pair of 15 year old leggings from eddie bauer that still look and fit great- they had the best quality and I hope they maintain this. The best leather gloves just perfect. My company use to give eddie b gifts at conventions which made these meetings bearable, hence my love for eddiebauer.com. I hope they never change as they really do customer service well. Many eddie stores closed a few years ago, but I found my self shopping on line more so no hard feelings. Eddie Bauer items are wonderful thus far.
