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.

Tried to write a bad review this afternoon and see that it has been edited or something. Like most other people I didn't see their scam that the membership fee would be applied each and every month whether you bought something or nothing. Kate Hudson should be totally ashamed of herself what with her millions making dud movies only to be sheltered by her mother Goldie, her father and her other father. Isn't what you have enough for you and your miserable family to live on that you have to scam the general public. Just another $#*! celebrity making millions off the general public. She's just as bad as welfare cheats - only richer!
Hidden fee $49.95 per month charged to two of my emails because I forgot I had already signed up and NEVER realized I'd be charged? For 6 months? Never getting that money back and got nothing for it... disgusting business practices can't believe Kate Hudson would represent.
SCAM! I cancelled my membership on Jan 9,2015 received my credit on Jan 11,2015 and was completely satisfied. What I didn't know was that in February they charged my card another $49.95 and did it again in March! Since the account was cancelled, so I thought, I figured I didn't have to check my bill that a closely, but think again. I called today and the customer service rep on the phone was so rude and kept talking over me. After I asked to speak to a supervisor and put on hold for a few minutes she came back on to tell me that no one was available to speak with me but she would issue my credit but was still trying to convince me to us my 2 credits of 49.95 to purchase an outfit! Kate Hudson you should be ashamed of yourself! Karen(new Jersey)
Most of the reviews on here are saying it is a scam. It states that you can either skip the month or you will be charged $50 to your account so you can choose to shop later. I forgot to skip for the month of march and they happily refunded my account without hesitation. I love my outfit and I will be continuing to shop there!
Do not purchase anything. They will dump you into a subscription service and not allow you to cancel.
Sorry, Kate, you rock!
They have been charging me 49.95 a month without my knowledge for the last few months. They said that they canceled my account but yet they saved all my billing info and wont delete it. They have been charging me for absolutely nothing without my knowledge. I will never use this company ever again.
As others have already said this site is very misleading- charging £44 a month for membership! When I tried to cancel the woman on the phone was so rude and condescending. Will never be buying from this brand again.
I have been working out for decades, this line is trendy, priced well and made well. It holds up to intense workouts, washes well and is comfortable.
I like the idea of a memenership and outfits put together for you. It helps me stay focused on other parts of my life and it helps to get me out the door on days when I don't feel like working out. I enjoy working out, looking good and saving money, this line let's me do this all at the same time.
After you buy 1 outfit for $25, the company Fabeletics continues to bill you $50 per month without notification. When I called customer service to ask what the charges were for, I was forwarded to the Phillipines where I got no assistance. Looks like they charge $50 per month for I don't know what. I would not want to be associated with a company like this. Such a disappointment. Avoid at all cost.
So, I believe that the clothes are probably good quality and comfortable. My issue is that a promo came across my FB feed - $25 for your first outfit. Of course they had select pieces to choose from for this promo, which is fine. By the time I was finished and to the checkout my total was over $75! It just really turned me off to make me go through this sign up and shopping process only to find the lied about the promo price.
I have been ordering from Fabletics for over a year now. I love the style and quality of the clothes. They wear well and hold up really well to regular washing. You can get an entire outfit for the price of one "named brand" piece in other sports retailers. I really like that their designs are different and not the same thing everyone else is wearing. I am a VIP member and at the first of the month I get an email reminder to opt out if I don't want to order. Their VIP instructions to tell you that you will be charged and your account credited for future orders if you don't opt out. I think that some people have just not read the sight / instructions clealy. Some of their items do run small depending on the material, but when that has happened I have had no problems exchanging items for the correct size. I agree that the styles do sell out pretty quickly, but there are always new items coming out that I like just as well. I haven't had any major issues or problems and overall I am very please with the clothes I get from Fabletics and my VIP membership.
"free shipping and free returns"? Read the fine print:
Free shipping IF your order is over $49.95 and "free returns" as long as you don't want actual money back... store credit only... if you want actual money, they will deduct $5.95 as a "restocking fee" (AKA return shipping fee?)... Fabletics offers 3 easy return options: (1) return for Fabletics membership or store credit for free; (2) exchange for another item for free; (3) return for a refund* minus a $5.95 restocking fee... Please note that any membership or store credit used to pay for an order will be returned as store credit and will not be eligible for a refund to a credit card...
I bought one thing from them in December, then in February I realized they were charging me $50/month for some membership that I NEVER signed up for. I sent an email, never got a reply. So I tried their online chat thing (I really loathe talking on the phone) and as soon as I mentioned refund the agent disconnected. So I called them and the whole call the person kept pushing me to keep the service and saying I "had credit" in their store. I told her I didn't WANT credit, I wanted a refund. So she said she would process it (after trying to get me to stay for literally fifteen minutes. I don't have time for that junk). I look at my bank account and they've only refunded $50 out of the $100. I can't even get them to connect on the chat anymore, and I've sent several emails. I'll try calling them later today but I wouldn't be surprised if I don't get an answer. SO PISSED at this company.
They launched the Canadian site at the beginning of 2015. On New Years Eve feeling the vibes of a fresh new start - I ordered my $25 outfit. I teceived confirmation of my order. 6 days later nothing.
Called Customer service- they said I had placed my order simutaneously with 100 other people and by the time my order was sent to the warehouse all my items were out of stock. I had to pick an entire new outfit over the phone by the end of the day.
I called back to place my new order. The girl checked all stock and my order was placed. I received confirmation. 4 days later still nothing. Called back.
The woman said all my items were no longer in stock - I said it was impossible I placed the order on the phone. She said she thought her co-worker never sent it to the warehouse.
I had to order a whole new outfit over the phone. She told me the numbers of the items in stock (ie 112 cashel tops in medium, 70 pants in medium) etc. Again I received confirmation of my order by email.
3 days later still nothing shipped.
Called again!
Woman said all the items I chose were out of stock. I told her to delete me account.
2 months later my account has still not been deleted- they still have all my personal information.
I am saddened that Kate Hudson would support this. Fabletics turned my positive New Year into a headache.
Don't bother- especially if you are Canadian. The yoga clothing market is booming- all you need to find is a apandex polyester blend and you're set :)
I placed an order and after 16 days called because I had not received a shipping confirmation. I called and they said the order never went through despite being charged. I cancelled my "VIP" membership after arguing about getting a refund for the items that never shipped. Huge scam and waste of my time.
I ordered my first outfit for 25 dollars, and as an active college student this seemed perfect. I signed up for the VIP membership (without really even knowing what I was signing up for) and I have to admit, it seemed too good to be true. I very soon realized that I was going to be charged $50 for each month if I did not buy an outfit, or if I failed to "skip" that month. I immediately called to cancel my order, and the woman who answered barely spoke English. She then proceeded to offer me 500 free reward points. Seriously, I watched my father run a company out of my home for 2 decades and I know a bad business model when I see one. Why should you have to offer your customer 500 reward points to stay with your awful company? I cannot believe Kate Hudson backed this company. I ordered clothes last week, and they are allegedly arriving tomorrow. Let's hope I get my package and the clothes are good quality. I will still not be recommending this company to anyone. I will stick to my Lululemon and Amazon finds, thank you.
Once received, discovered the pants were too small, so I followed the exchange policy, supposedly very easy. I finally had to call because I received an email on "how to" exchange but never received the actual return shipping label. Once I called and received that, I packaged up and returned that same day. Almost a month later and I finally online chat to find out what is going on and they cancelled my order. Will refund me $19...? This will not cover the cost to exchange... I have to end up paying more for the same pants that come with the "free" $25 outfit. I decide to call in to talk to someone, and they put me on hold for 8 minutes then the phone disconnects... really. VIP service, what a joke. I am extremely bummed because I love Kate Hudson and figured this would be a top notch company plus the clothes look really cute. I would have been a repeat customer. Now I have to try calling back in to cancel service... wonder what will happen this time.
My daughter accidentally signed up for this scam! She fell for the TV ads that stated you could get a full outfit for $25.00! What a scam. When you sign up as a VIP member they automatically charge the credit card from the initial purchase every month $50.00. Extremely disappointed in the company and Kate Hudson. She is not really a good role model if she is backing this.
You have the option to shop here and there, or as a monthly VIP. Know what you are signing up for. Most the people who are leaving one star reviews did not properly read and follow the website. It gives you the option to "Check out as VIP" which means you sign up for the recurring service. I have had no issues so far and am very excited for my next outfit. Should it maybe be MORE clear? Yes. But does it plainly say that you're checking out as VIP? Yes. If you didn't know you signed up for the recurring service that's your fault, not theirs.
I have never had so much trouble with a company before. I signed up for VIP to get my girlfriend something for her birthday. I will admit that it was my fault to begin with, I did not read the terms of service that say you will be billed every month $50 dollars automatically. I ordered in October, so I got my first automatic withdraw in November. I didnt notice untill Jan. So I had been billed 3 times at this point (Nov, Dec, Jan.) I called them to get a refund and the worker was exrtemely rude and repeatedly told me I can not get a refund, and then put the supervisor on who then gave me my refund. I then asked to have my account deleted so I wouldnt get billed and she told me they cant delete it until they have given me my refund, but once I got it I would be deleted. Then Feb. Came around, checked my statements and I had been billed again, call them, they keep saying that no money has been taken out of my account, even though I have the bank statements to prove it. I will be taking them to court if they dont give me my refund. Yes, the prices are pretty good, but at this point I would have rather spent the extra money (BECAUSE THEY TOOK IT ANYWAYS). Absolutely the worst company, do not support them.
Answer: I did read the fine print, as stated, which you find out when you are about to place your order. Those few who LOVE Fab would have you believe, that we are dolts and can't figure out this "club" has you by the short hairs once you order 1 outfit... the hook is set. So if you wanna hassle with the $49.95 charge that you may or not remember to decline each month, see the charges on your card, only to find you have "store credit" instead of the charges removed... then by all means, place your order. As far as the 16% "like" rate at the top, THAT in itself should let you know, steer clear. It took me MANY attempts just to stop their emails from coming to me... finally!
Answer: Hi Heidi I really would cancel as soon as possible because if you don't you will be charged whether you buy anything or not. Do it now because if not before 5th, you will be charged. You have to do this every month it's really not worth the hassle, I would buy from the high street at least you know where you stand. Also, I am assuming Myka works for the company! There are very few positive comments about this company I would steer well clear.
Answer: I rang my bank and told them to stop any future payments leaving my account. When I finally got through to fabletics, I had the worst most arrogant a***hole in customer services so I wouldn't bother wasting your breath
Answer: When I cancelled, I made sure that I used up every dime of credit because I was pretty sure that this shady company would take the credit I was owed. Someone should start a class action suit against them. They just do whatever they want...
Answer: The best thing to do is to use your credit and buy something in the amount you were charged and then call to cancel your membership. You can try to get them to reverse the charges but chances are you won't get it back. Don't cancel until you use the money you already paid though!
Answer: All the good reviews on this site most likely come from employees, you could ask them.
Answer: Unfortunately this company is corrupt. You'll have to call relentlessly until they answer. I cancelled over the phone successfully. Leave a post with your negative experience getting a hold of someone to cancel.
Answer: I bombarded them on twitter and Facebook. They got back to me quick!
Answer: No you are not. Cancel it asap and then you won't get charged the monthly subscription charge. Best to call them and cancel it over the phone, and then send an email stating that you called and that they promised to cancel the account just as back up.
Answer: I think you should be okay! Canceling it is easy but I really doubt they'll send you a bill! I used it for a while and had no problems until this one but they were so beyond rude :( unless they have your billing information they can't just charge you!
