I do not reccomend Gilt! I bought a dress and the dress doesn't have any zipper or lock poor quality waste of money! The dress in the picture online at Gilt is not the same that you are receiving. BEWARE! DO NOT WASTE TOUR MONEY. Customer service is POOR I've been trying to contact them no response at all and then the telephone number that they provide is not even ringing or working JUST WOW! GILR IS A SCAM WEBSITE
While finalising my payment, gilt website flashes that there was a problem with the account and order may not be processed, so I resend the order and this time no problem. When the order came, I got two of everything, as it turned out the first payment was processed. Gilt is giving me a hard time with regards to return and refund because, it's the final sale-but the fact is I did not placed two orders, just the first one where I was advised it did not get processed; all they offered me is a $10 discount on my next order-abandon Gilt not, worth it.
Gilt sold me three pairs of fake Celine sunglasses. I've work Celine glasses for years, so it was very obvious to me they were fake. When I emailed their Customer Service Department, they didn't even deny it. They offered to issue me a refund if I mailed the sunglasses back to them, which took months. I had to contact them multiple times for that refund. Buyers beware! Do not purchase designer goods from this site!
They sell fake items. Dont purchase anything from them. The only reason they received a 1 rating from me is because they wouldn't process my review if I didn't.
I have not received my product yet, so I can't speak to the quality of the merchandise, but based on these reviews I am hoping my order is the exception. I will say this: when one spends a certain dollar amount on an item from a vendor, one expects to receive the item in an expedient manner. Gilt clearly does not know or care about their customers as they have taken the money from my account, but are taking their sweet time getting my merchandise to me. I have received ebay orders from private sellers that have shipped and delivered faster than my "high-end purchase" from Gilt. Pathetic. Just for reference, it's going on the second week since I have ordered, paid, and not yet received that which I have paid for. Terrible Customer Service and I will not be spending money with this company again.
I received a Christmas gift from gilt.com from my brother. I returned it for credit, which was not what I wanted (I wanted the cash) but gilt refused because my brother paid for it on his credit card. I ended up using the credit to purchase a pair of jeans, which didn't fit right. So I had to return those jeans to a Sacks Off 5th store. When I returned the item, the manager at Sacks had problems processing it so the entire affair was time consuming and tedious. Plus, I had to pay for shipping in both directions which really cut into my online credit amount. Fast forward 18 months, finally decided to rid myself of the remaining credit I had and ordered some underwear. They should fit correctly right? Another $10 for shipping and its the slowest shipping around. FedEx. Taking easily over a week to reach me. Gilt.com making $$$ hands over fist on their shipping fees and their prices on most merchandise (easy to compare elsewhere online before you buy something) are not competitive. No way would order from this company again!
The customer service is terrible! I emailed them days ago but there's no response until now. I had some questions about their goods. But now I think I won't order from them.
I can't say that the quality is really high. Honestly I thought that it would be better for that price...
I follow/buy on Gilt since their starts. I never published a review before when I had problems with them, because I thought it was only a mistake for 1 or 2 times... but I am tired of their deceiving shipping estimates dates. They post a delivery estimate and when you placed already the order, and they give you a delivery date, then they shp the item when they want. I received 2 packages already 10 days later than what they were supposed to deliver. I was on the phone right now 20 minutes with "Wanda", who ended up saying she could do nothing about it. AWFALL CUSTOMER SERVICE by the way. Wouldn't buy never again on GILT.com
I have had so many problems with them and their merchandise, I dont know where to start. They are thiefs in my opinion. I made the stupid mistake of ordering again from them thinking it would be different. It was even worse. These people need a good class action lawsuit to set them straight. Also I plan on reversing my credit card charge for not receiving the items as advertised (there were 2 of my 3 items that were missing major items). I hope this review helps someone, and that Karma will take its fury on them.
I purchased a pair of sunglasses that are easily authenticated and guess what "FAKE"! My return process begins... wish me luck. Secondly had them authenticated by the actual company and they confirmed that it is a fak also. The lenses are supposed to be gradient.
I have only ever used Gilt once, and it was to buy an obscenely expensive pair of Louboutins. When they did not fit, I was terrified because I had read the nightmarish reviews from people who had to go through hell to return their merchandise. I was positive that I was going to lose my money. I didn't sleep for a couple of days.
But... nothing bad happened. The shoes appeared authentic, and the return process was pretty painless. The only inconvenience is that I had to take them to a FedEx location rather than drop them in a postbox. But given what they cost, I would have done that anyway.
Gilt will not take back purchased products. It is as simple as that. I purchased a bathrobe and Jimmy Choo shoes. The packaging was so poor that the shoe box was destroyed by the time it reached me. They refused to take responsibility. "Sorry, but those items are final sale." Pathetic experience. Do not purchase anything from this site.
YOu can't sell such stuff!
They sell horrible product with no option to return!
Stay away!
I purchased 2 Predire Paris Moroccan Liquid Gold Vitamin C & E Booster Serum Treatments from Gilt after falling in love with the real product. I gave one as a gift and kept one for myself. When the product arrived I ordered 4 more before I opened the original one that I kept. When I opened the one I kept I was appalled to find that it was not the same color, same consistency, same smell as the real Moroccan Liquid Gold. I still had some of my real product and could compare them. I realized that the bottle looked different and also had no serial number on it. I contacted Gilt and requested that they replace the 6 bottles I've purchased with the real stuff. They advised they don't have real ones to replace them with. I looked online and they are still advertising the product knowing that it is not real. God only knows how many of these and other fake Predire' Paris items have been sold.
They offered to send me a return tag for a refund. I have returned the product and they only credited me for 1 and it wasn't a refund like promised. I called them today and they have noted the account that I want a full refund and not a credit to them. I was advised that it will be another 7-8 days before I get a response and there is a restocking fee that I will be charge. I immediately requested an escalation because I shouldn't be charged anything to return fake product.
Gilt sold me a Versace scarf that I discovered was not authentic after I tried to resell it online on a consignment website. I've contacted Gilt and they refuse to issue a refund. Buyer beware of inauthentic products from gilt.com.
I purches one lipstick, when was free shipping. After the change me for 9.99$ for shipping. I try to contact customer service right away I placed the Oder.The answer, what they give me: the Oder in process and they not offer anything. Its was my first experience with Chanel lipstick. I m totally not recommend to any one buy from this company. Plus it's little high prices for everything.
I purchased a hair coupon over a month ago and still have not received the barcode in order to get the discount. I asked for a complete refund since the salon ended up charging me full price since Gilt could not do their basic job and email me the barcode. No one has responded to me in 10 days for my refund request. I will not be purchasing from Gilt ever again.
My daughter purchased a handbag... Valentino by Mario Valentino
Studded Leather Saddle Bag for $349.99. Saved a few dollars on sale. We shipped it off to her in Austrailia where she was an exchange student. The bag came with the strap missing. When we found out and contacted the company... they told us tough. We were outside the ten day return return period I am therefore sueing the company in our small claims court for $350... breach of contract... they did not give us what we paid for. Pathetic we have to go this route but so be it. They can hire a lawyer and defend.
Sales are just 10-20% off. Returns are difficult and most items are final sale.
Since saks sold it, the service is $#*!ty too.

Answer: DO NOT purchase from Gilt! They state they "stand behind the authenticity" of their products. THEY DO NOT! I paid $975.96 for a LV handbag. Later, (after the 30 day refund policy) it started falling apart. Found out it was a fake. Gilt will not exchange or do anything to correct this. It's horrible customer service.
