Fabletics Reviews Summary

Fabletics enjoys a generally positive reputation for its high-quality activewear, particularly among plus-size customers, with many expressing satisfaction with the product's fit and style. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, particularly related to the return process and subscription management, which many find frustrating and convoluted. Issues such as delayed refunds, poor inventory management, and inadequate support from customer service representatives contribute to a negative shopping experience for some. Overall, while the product quality garners praise, the customer service approach and operational challenges indicate areas needing improvement for enhanced customer satisfaction.

Horrible
September 13, 2016

I can't really complain about the automatic charges, although that is annoying, because I did sign up for that. But, when I finally went to use the money that they usurped from my account, I placed an order and it's a week later and the order still hasn't even shipped. Annoyed that I've waited a full week for my order to still be sitting at their damn store, and even once it ships I can't expect the order for another 7-10 days. I'm cancelling my membership so they can stop taking my money and giving me horrible service.

Fabletics is a money scam!
September 12, 2016

To start off, I do pretty much all of my clothes shopping online and have rarely had any issues. I first came upon fabletics in February 2016. I purchased a pair of workout leggings and two tops. The original reason I was tempted to buy from there was that they advertised "join fabletics and get your first outfit 50% off." I signed up for the membership thinking it was just like any other online store I had purchased from. I received my clothing pretty fast and was pleased with the quality. However, I just checked my credit statements to realize that fabletics had been charging me 67$ canadian EVERY MONTH. When I called to complain and get my money back they explained to me that when becoming a "member" if a purchase wasn't made that month that they would charge your account. I HAD NO IDEA that's what I was getting myself into when I signed up. It was very unclear that this was what becoming a member meant and I am extremely upset that this has happened. That's a total of 402$ they have taken from my credit card while I have only ever once purchased from them. TOTAL SCAM. I would not recommend to anyone buying from them.

Horrible experience. Made one (initial) purchase and was enrolled in a membership without ever agreeing to the terms. Each month $49.99 was deducted from my account without my knowledge. Called the company to cancel this ridiculous subscription which I never agreed to and they were only able to reimburse the most recent deduction. Absolutely unacceptable and frodulent. If you must order from there read all the fine print. Do yourself a favor and shop at elsewhere.

A month ago a bought a gift for a friend as there was a special offer going on and I have always liked Kate Hudson. Then it offered half price on top of that for first time buyers - I thought "great!" and got a pair of leggings and tank top for £20. Far cheaper than they usually are on that site and was chuffed. I read all the terms and conditions they gave me while buying the product and unticked all the boxes offering subscriptions and thought I had avoided it. No emails confirming my £44 subscription either!

Yet still I woke up today to an email saying I had been billed £44 through my paypal! WTF, I didn; t sign up for anything. What company just automatically signs you up for something without specifically telling you that you will be billed. Looked at an email from them in my deleted folder and discovered at the very bottom of the payment confirmation email in small print "cancel or skip month of your subscription by calling this number".

Luckily I called the number and they cancelled it pretty quickly and the lady was very polite, (so that is one positive from the experience) then got an email immediately detailing I cancelled my VIP Membership - so why the hell can't they send an email for confirm your VIP membership BEFORE you agree to it? Because it's a scam that's why; made to catch you out and take money from you! I have contacted Paypal for a refund on an unauthorised payment and have my fingers crossed that I will recieve that £44 back as that is not small change. Absolutely livid and will never be buying from them again just in case.

Taught me to be VERY careful in the future, however no other online store has ever pulled something like this and hopefully will not happen to me again.

Bought 2 black tights in Mar 2016... I was not able to complete the order till I signed up to this VIP membership. The company charged me 5months of membership fee 49.95US... I had only purchased 1 order in March. I will be called to cancel this everday till I get the charges reversed.
How dare you miss Kate Hudson for charging people foolish fees for nothing.? You should be embarrassed, this company should be embarrassed. I will tell every single person about this disgusting company. You miss Kate are taking middle class people's money. I think you have enough... i believe ever person who had been scammed by this VIP membership (so ridiculous) to be returned their money and the company should be charged for the stress of dealing with your 3rd party customer service in the phillipines!

I also got scammed into unknowingly signing up to be a VIP member. Have had so many extremely difficult phone conversations to get them to cancel any account I ever had, to remove my details from their systems, and to stop charging me £44 every month. The more dealings I am having with them, the more I am realising that this company is a complete scam. Stay away!

I have been a Fabletics VIP customer since 07/2015. Have not had any problem Skipping Months, monthly charges, etc. I have purchased seven outfits over a 12 month period and find the quality very good though a bit on the small side so I order one size up.

Recently a friend purchased an outfit for my birthday at the South Park Mall in Charlotte NC. He knows my normal size is an 8 so purchased a tank top in Small and capris in Medium. Though the items fit, the outfit was tighter than I prefer. I attempted to exchange the items at the store for the next larger size but the manager would not allow it as I did not have a receipt and the purchaser did not open an account. As I was on my way home - I live over two hours away - I decided I would contact the company customer service. The first CR told me the same as the store manager. I asked to be moved up the line. Getting the same response, I was furious. Finally after a very lengthy conversation with the Supervisor, she is sending me a new outfit as a courtesy for being a long term customer.

Bottom line is that it is difficult to deal with this Customer Service but if you do not give up you will get a result. I told the CR that something needs to be done with this policy. Hopefully I will get the promised outfit.

Avoid!
September 3, 2016

Wasnt even advised anywhere on the site I was signing up for vip even though I had literally just made another freebie account for my mother. During refunds would only accept them as store credit which I wasn't advised before i actually refunded them. I might of kept them knowing this.

Watch your credit card activity. I "skipped a month" and they charged me anyways. I called and they are reversing the charges, but they did say that it was an IT problem on their end. No teling how many others were charged incorrectly.

Terrible company!
August 18, 2016

Got conned into doing this vip member ship! It's not marks clearly how to "skip the month" and as a result you will be charged £44 quid a month for nothing! Spent 45 min on the phone today trying to cancel an order AND my so called membership only to be told I couldn't cancel my membership! And even though the woman I spoke to made it clear my Order had been cancelled I still found out they'd taken the money from my account! Disgusting company. Complete frauds! Stay away

Misleading
August 16, 2016

This site bothers me... it is not clear when you sign up as a VIP member, that your card will be charged automatically each month, and now after reading that someone tried "skipping" one month, and was still charged, I feel this is a very shady company. I assumed, that by being a member, you simply got offfered outfits each month, suggested outfits, and were simply encouraged to buy... this however is not the case.
It is very misleading, and having received my first outfit at VIP price, and read the small print, and realised about my credit card being charged each month regardless... I decided to cancel.
I have done so by phone, and frankly I am disgusted. I was told that the original first outfit I bought at reduced price, will now be charged at the original very high price.
How dare this company try to trick people this way?
How dare you Kate Hudson make money from the public in such a shady way, when you are rolling in money yourself?
I regret ever buying the outfit. It is not worth the £90 that it was originally being sold for, and I could find just as good on the High Street for half the price, if not less.
Very bad... and misleading

Fabletics is a SCAM!
August 15, 2016

I advise that you do NOT order anything from "Fabletics," Kate Hudson's active wear clothing line. I placed an order in June. Just now I found out they have me enrolled in a VIP membership and they have been charging my credit card $49.95 a month for three months. They would only refund $99.00 of that $150 worth of charges for the VIP membership that I had no idea I was enrolled in. Shady business practice! Shame on you, Kate Hudson!

I have never been scammed like this, or at all for that matter. But Fabletics is definitely a scam! They have this hidden VIP signup agreement, they charge you 50$ or so every month so you can have "discounts". How ridiculous does that even sound? STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE, they are crooks and need to be stopped. And the most disgusting thing is that this washed-up no talent actress Kate Hudson doing their publicity is bringing more and more customers to their site. Whatever you do they are going to try to keep as much of your money as they posssibly can. I called to get refunded my 50$ when i realised they were charging me (3 months later, great) and i had to wait at least 40 minutes on the phone to speak to someone and they wouldn't give me my money back, only credits for the site. Oh and the only way you can stop being a VIP is by calling them and they make sure that it is as complicated as it can possibly be. I CANNOT STRESS HOW TERRIBLE THIS EXPERIENCE WAS. I got robbed, scammed, got frustrated, laughed at and disrespected. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. Save your money and your time.

UPDATE: They disputed my credit card company so that they could get back the $50! This is so preposterous. Do not sign up for this company. SO SHADY.

I've purchased items from this site before. I knew about the $50 charge every month if you forgot to skip. After forgetting to skip a few months (I never complained about this because it was truly my fault), I put a personal reminder in my calendar to skip every month. I had the last straw this month when I logged onto the website to skip my pick, AND THEY STILL CHARGED ME. When I sent an inquiry to their customer service, this is their response: I do apologize for the inconvenience that you had, as I have reviewed your account, skipping was not successfully done. As a result, a member credit was generated on your account and is ready to use in making future purchases for items/outfits worth $49.95. Moving forward if you are unsure if you skipped successfully or not, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Skipping should be straightforward and I should not need to be contacting you to confirm this? Furthermore, I looked in my browser history and clearly saw that I had accessed http://www.fabletics.com/skip-request on August 4th. Yes, one day before the skip request was due. If they don't remove this charge, I am disputing this with my credit card company. And definitely cancelling this membership. This is a total scam.

In accordance with earlier comments, the clothes are rubbish, they feel and look cheap and tacky. Kmart and target offer better options. They do sign you up for VIP and then when you challenge or query if they don't respond. I had to cancel my credit card to stop the charges. What s joke and what a terrible experience. I cannot stress AVOID this site like the plague.

I was surprised to see such a low rating for this site, I've been using and ordering from this site for 2 years now with zero issues, the VIP membership is NOT mandatory, you can choose to upgrade to it on your own or you can have a regular membership with no fee. If you do by chance forget to skip your discounted monthly outfits within the first week the charge isn't for "nothing" it becomes a free outfit redeemable at any time. I found the conditions for the VIP membership are very clearly laid out.
The reason I saw this was because I just had the best interaction with the customer service reps. I had called because I had forgotten to skip my monthly outfits for August and didn't want to be charged (again, it was my choice to upgrade to this membership so it wasn't the company's fault I had forgotten.) and the rep was so incredibly nice and understanding about it, he offered me a curtosey skip, so my account wouldn't be charged and gave me a small store credit! I've been using this site for a while and I absolutely love it, the interaction I had tonight just reaffirmed it. I wasn't expecting an easy experience after reading these harsh reviews but that's just what it was. Easy, helpful and friendly. There are no "hidden fees for nothig" just people who are upgrading their membership so they can get one discounted outfit and not bothering to read what the actual membership entails
