The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, particularly regarding product quality and customer service.

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.

My complaint is your no return policy which i did not see till i received these items that i ordered for my niece for christmas, thinking she could exchange at a store if they did not fit. Now I am being told not only can she not exchange them she cannot even return them as i took advantage of a 10% online coupon.
Had a pop up or notice come up saying this was a total non returnable item when i went to pay i would not have done this order online and would have gone to a store.
I called and was told so sorry tough luck. Here is return policy- nowhere does it say using a promo code makes your entire order NON RETURNABLE.

Everyone loves Forever 21! If only they fix their search bar :(
I ordered six items from Forever21.com about a month ago and just got my package two days ago. Very slow shipping in my experiences. On too of that they failed to send me one item which is aggravating and when I called their customer service (they were very friendly) the girl said that it was out of stock when I ordered it so I will get a refund. They failed to educate me on this at the times placed the order which is very strange and not right. It is back in stock now so I feel as if I should still get it but whatever. I rather shop in store for forever 21 so you can actually see what you're getting and the quality.
I buy from them all the time! Their prices are reasonable for the quality and my orders arrive in the time frame promised.
I placed a $53.00 order on 9/13/12 and did not receive free shipping even though my order was over $50.00. Reluctantly I paid the $13.90 shipping fee because I just wanted to get my order. THREE WEEKS go by and just like the other customers, my order goes totally unprocessed. I email Forever21 a week ago and get an automated response that half my order is now out of stock. I was disappointed but figured I would get the remainder of the order within the week.
It has now been ONE MONTH, and my order is STILL posted as "new". I'm sure the rest of my order is now also out of stock by now. What a gross mis-handling of a situation. If a company this size is handling a warehouse move this badly, someone needs to be replaced. I used to shop at this store all the time, and I don't think I'll ever go into one again much less order online from them again. Incredibly frustrated, disappointed and angry.
Love the prices and the styles! You get for what you pay. It wont last forever, but it works. Only thing I wish was different was their return policy. They should refund the amount back and not just offer store credit!
It's great, safe. But you have to really read the description carefully when buying. Some stuff might be different in real life than the pictures (especially colors)
Love this store with a passion. Everything i order is the same as it is on the screen. I love the trendy styles. Im always buying a new shirt or bag from here. Accessories are always worth the price. Love it!. NOW here is the down fall the pants. I cant shop here for pants. They simple aren't long enough. Being 5'11 with curves comes back to hurt me :( yes the have plus sizes but the length DOESN'T i repeat DOESN'T cover it. Other than that its still a good store
I love forever 21! Their designer is so clever! I mean their dress design is so pretty! I can dress my lbd for any occasion! Love it, cheap but good quality!
Me encanta esta tienda... tienen de todo y tienen precios muy rasonables
I'm a huge fan of forever21.com my family and i loove your clothes, your prices are reasonable. Last week i bought a dress all my friends after want to buy it. Many thanks forever21.com
I order from this site a lot. The clothes are cheap and trendy. The site itself is user friendly, and when I've contacted customer service they've been helpful, but not extremely friendly by any means. The main downfall is the shipping. It's taken almost 2 weeks for me to receive my order with "5-7 day shipping". I have never gotten a package in 5 days. Always 7 plus.
Love love love this site! I buy a good amount of shirts here every summer. Pretty good prices and the quality isn't cheap. Acually stylish too. The site is always colorful and easy too which i love!
Love this store/site. The clothes are fairly cheap to good quality, and the prices are cheap. Pretty good, since there are always things going in and out of style! Speaking as an employee of XXI, careful with the seams and buttons, as they can rip easily.
I bought some combat boots and it was great! Had them for almost year
So with forever 21 the bottom sizes are different but they have size charts that help you with that. The items that I ordered got here on the estimated arrival date and they were packaged very nicely and efficiently. No need for a large box if the clothes can fit in a small bag. I liked that a lot. And the clothes are VERY VERY cheap especially if you catch a sale. I bought three bottoms, two shirts and three dresses for $49. So yeah forever 21 is SO worth it and shopping online is convenient instead of traveling to one that isn't in your city.
I ordered several items from forever 21 and they all came in less then 1 week! :D <3
The only thing that i didnt really like was the quality but forever 21 is pretty cheap so... you get what you pay for :P
First off if you love the store you'll like the site. I happen to live by the mall of america and that's the forever21 I typically go to. It's so messy there! Not to mention a lot of clothes. Which means tons more on the website but less headachy to look through.
My only beef with the site vs the store is the colors are way different online then in person. I bought a scarf I thought was a salmon pinkish color and came in red. So read the descripton of color instead of looking at just the picture.
The packaging was great I got 12 items (I believe) and it was in a very big plastic envelope with tissue paper. The jewlery items I got was wrapped in a smaller bag and each item is indiviually wrapped including clothing items besides the style deals (items that are a good price).
Overall great site. Came in a timely manner (wish it came faster though!) Free shipping over 50 dollars. If you sign up for their email listing they will let you know when they have sales. I ordered on veterns day so I got 11% off everything and they had a buy one get on free sale. I've ordered from the site before and certainly will continue ordering from them.
Love this store! Both online and in store... this place is aazing:)
A tip: For the best accessories and best accessory prices, look at their sales online. Cheap prices, but amazing quality :)
I have ordered multiple times from Forever 21 and always received exactly what I ordered, no problems whatsoever. Their customer service is prompt in responding to your questions. I can never find items in their stores, so I prefer shopping online. Plus, free shipping with $50 orders is always awesome!
Answer: Yes, its horrible customer service and if you return items purchased online to the return address provided. The items disappear even with postal tracking to say it was delivered. I return 8 pair of jeans in the same box original box. Forever 21 warehouse said i rerurn 1 item. Does not make sense to pay $20.00 delivery confirmation to return 1 pair of $8.00 jeans. Be aware, someone in the warehouse does not scanning the return items and keep it for their own use or sale. Which makes it bad for honest customers that want to return items for exchange. Customer service was no help and basically said nothing was return but 1 pair of jeans. I ask for warehouse contact information, i was told its confidential. Do not purchase!
Answer: It's the same as in store. 21 days with tags attacthed, for instore credit or exchange.
Answer: Call them and ask for a track number
Answer: I orederd 3 item I got only 2. But they kept mentioning 3 item delivered... I didnt got my jogger pant which I orederd for my younger brother. I mailed them 100 times they only send auto generated message nothing else nd I have already paid money for the pant... I called customer service no response. No refund they cheated me. I hate forever 21 its not trustworthy its fraud
Answer: Dispute the charge with bank. This company is lacking on customer service
