Forever 21 Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, particularly regarding product quality and customer service. While some customers appreciate the affordability and occasional quality improvements of the clothing, many express frustration over receiving damaged or poorly made items, along with a lack of support for returns and exchanges. Common complaints include long wait times for customer service responses, misleading shipping information, and unhelpful staff. This pervasive dissatisfaction indicates a critical need for the company to enhance its customer service practices and improve product quality to regain consumer trust.

I was always very loyal to Forever 21.90 % of my clothes are from this store. But last time I ordered online from Forever 21, i got sweater size smal which is look like M or L! And the dress... on the website it was yellow like a lemon, in real life the color was lime yellow + it looks through (I ordered totally different dress). Anyway, I would be ok with that if I could get my money back, but I couldn't! Because I used 15% discount code and my items transformed to final sale. But there was no sign anywhere and even on my online account it's saying that clothes are not on final sale. When I contacted with the store manager, she denied me in returning my money. Please don't make my mistaked and never buy anything there.

I usual order from this site but my last ordered came yesterday and I think they changed manufactures in China. The clothes that came looked extremely cheap, the material quality was very poor. I am so disappointed with this order. The extra small is BIGGER than the small and all the clothing were big.
Their clothing is so different from the last few times I bought. Be very careful when purchasing online at this store.

NEVER SHOP ONLINE THERE. I shopped at forever 21 online and ordered 4 small dresses. I got my items in 3 days, and was happy. I tried the dresses on, and relaized they didnt fit. Youd figure theres not that big of a difference between SMALL and XSMALL but i guess so at forever21. Anyway i went to a store to take them back. The cashier told me i can only get store credit, no refunds. I was pissed about that, but i liked forever 21 so i just left it alone. I went to forever21.com when i got home and it said I CAN SHIP ITEMS BACK AND GET A REFUND. The cashier lady told me those were the only options i had. Still not finished. I ordered more items online $80 worth and shipped them to a address, which i made a typo accidentally. I wanted to change that so i called forever 21 and they said no. They have terrible customer service and they rip you off. NEVER gonna buy there again

Their styles are hit or miss for me. I feel like there are times when I want to buy everything and others when I can't get past the first few pages when browsing. Over all, the quality of their clothes is decent. I don't like their return policy, so I don't order online.

They send me a very cute dress however the material is cheap quality. You will need something to put under it as it is mildly see through. It also wrinkles very easily due to the material. Comes with the belt. But for the low price, it's fair.

My top is breezy and fitted enough to appreciate my figure without sticking to my body. The fabric is thin yet not see-through, and the mesh at the top of the back and shoulders is soft and unnoticeable to the skin. The perfect black shirt to wear in hot weather, it lets the air flow though without trapping the heat. Love it.

The pants are elastic and form fitting. Perfect fit. I was not sure if the fabric was going to be comfortable by viewing one of the photos but they are great!

Everything was as it was on the website. The only thing about the item I purchased that was a concern was the top to the swim suit. I believe that you have to be careful if you have large breast as my friend did for this particular swimsuit I ordered for her.

This is the first time I purchase items online and I have to say that here is really a good source for online shopping... The items I bought are exactly the same like what I saw from the website and even better quality than I expected! Thumbs up and I will come again next time!

Return policy sucks

Great store, awesome clothes, fair prices.

Can't say anything about their return policy though, as I've never had to return anything.

I've ordered from this site 2 times and was very pleased each time. I think the best thing about forever 21 is that they offer really cute clothes at affordable prices. The quality isn't all that great for some shirts but for under 10 dollars, it's way more than a bargain. I love this site and I think it's perfect for college women who want to dress stylish for less. I actually prefer online shopping because I find much cuter clothes and I don't have to deal with snotty employees (not that I ever have). But to summarize: cute clothes, cheap prices. I think for us women that's a perfect combination.

Shopping here was the worst experience ever. I placed an online order purchased a dress and shoes. The girl pictured with the dress is wearing an undershirt the dress itself shows your entire bra down past the bottem. They didn't disclose that it wasnt part of the dress. The Material is thick and rough feels and looks like it should hang on your windows. They charged me the shipping to return it and told me i will have wait a month for my refund. Worst service, dress and overall experience ever. Never shop here.

Fortunately, I have only have wonderful experience from F21 online. Far better at times than going to the store if you don't want a huge crowd. I always find something there and it's so cheap. I love the flash sales online too.

I bought some clothes way back in December 25, and in got "shipped" in January.
As per their tracking it says that my product was delivered but never received it. I contacted them and asked them where is my purchase and I asked either they refund me or send me my product. They do not respond to follows up and after 2 months saying that they are not refunding me because it was delivered...

Grr... I have contacted my bank and I will campaign to make sure that these people doesn't pull this scam ever again.

I purchased several necklaces from the FOREVER 21 website in February and they were shipped on 2/12/14 and Guess What? I still don't have my necklaces for my daughter's wedding. After speaking to Karen today on the phone which is the 10th person I have spoke with over the past few weeks she said I would get my package in a few day after I was told on 3/11/14 they were shipped. I have NO idea when I will get my package and at this point I am mad as **** and will NEVER shop with this store again. I wish I would have read the reviews on this site before I ordered from them. Thanks so letting me vent :)

This site has been a great source to order inexpensive items from. I have never had a bad experience, always received the item promptly and found the item to be great quality and exactly what I ordered. My only hesitation in giving 5 stars is that their return policy is not good. Basically once you spend money with them you cannot get it back. They only do returns for store credit and that sometimes isn't convenient when you can't find another item to purchase. All in all a good experience but they should bring their return policy up to speed to make it an excellent experience.
