GiltReviews 908

The slash through prices are a total lie. I recently ordered a pair of sheets, slash through price was $400, sale price $110. When I received them the retail sticker price said $83. I emailed customer support and was told 'Sorry you don't like your sheets but this is the cost of doing business.' They wouldn't even price match. I went through three emails and gave up. They have taken the 1 (800) number off their site so if you want to call them you have to wIt on hold forever paying long distance charges. Gilt clearly doesn't care about ripping you off.

The pictures on the sale page is misleading. Got a bracelet and every single beads are stained. Contacted customer service and they refuse to return.

The clothing and items for babies is nothing special, even with the free intro shipping for 30 days. It's an outlet store where designers dump the ugly stuff no one wants to buy-so I'm not going to spend $56 on an infant dress that's designer (or no name brand) but unattractive, or even $36 on an outfit that's not cute at all or even good quality-I'll just go to Baby Gap, Tea Collection, or Boden and buy direct. As for baby items, there are no deals-the prices are exactly the same as you would get on Amazon-I know, I checked. Swaddle blankets, towels, bottles, etc. And why would you buy from Gilt when you can't return it, when you can buy the same thing from Amazon and return?

Purchased Balenciaga City bag from Gilt with $1469. They present the bags as final sale and no returns. But the bag doesn't have all necessary tags with it, especially the brand tag indicating it is authentic and new and the one showing the year when the bag was made. Contact the customer service. They kept telling me the description doesn't say the tags come along with the bag and they list it as nonreturnable so that I can not return it. What? A new and authentic bag doesn't have tags? It is their responsibility that they present this fact for this product before the consumer decide to buy it! Already filed the consumer complaints. If you want to reduce trouble in the future, never buy luxury products from them. You will be disappointed when you receive your purchase and can not get problems solved just because the item is listed as final sale and nonreturnable.

At first I was weary as I have had some great online experiences, and some horrible ones! The first agent I dealt with did not make me feel to comfortable. However, upon speaking with several others, and the online team, and their great detail of the product and knowledge was so important for clothes being ordered, I felt quite confident. The product did not take a very long time to arrive, it was in great shape and I was extremely satisfied with the product, but more importantly is also the customer service. What a great team. This lets me def promote you on social media and in this day and age of word of mouth, treating customers well, goes a long way.

Ordered a pair of non returnable boots from Gilt. They listed 9.5 but they were European sized 39.5 which wasn't disclosed. I am a 9 and couldn't get my foot into them. My friend and 8-8.5 couldn't either. And these are non returnable?!? Rip off!

I was a regular customer, buying often until 3 years ago. I bought a set of towels for $159.95. The entire lot must have been defective. The towels, each and every one, gathered/pulled a few inched from the trim, on the decorative stitching. I have contacted GILT for help, and they act interested, even asked for pictures last week. I then get an email saying it's out of the return time. I have towels that are much older that although thinner, are still usable. These towels can only be used to mop up spills. I can't use them in the gym, or by the pool the gathered up area is nasty and makes it uncomfortable to use.

I am surprised by the bad reviews on GILT because I have had good experiences so far. But, then again, I only bought from them twice as well as my boyfriend ordered items on there for me and were all clothing. I can't say anything about the customer service because I never felt the need to reach them. Each order has given me the correct items in good condition as well as been delivered on the time they predicted to me on regular shipping. For some reason, I don't think I would order anything other than clothes from GILT.

Taking a nose dive. Shipped wrong item. Does not have what I ordered and paid for. Customer support email is worthless. Chat person tells me that customer support will reach out. No one called. Chat person has nerve to ask what he can do to make things right. Asked for some type of discount for the future only to come back with No. LOL why ask then.

I'll admit after I got an email notification about the amazing sale on kitchenaid stand mixers and had already purchased two of them (one for me and one for my mom for Christmas) I started researching gilt and their reviews and I got really nervous! I purchased both of them on a Saturday night after I had gotten off work late in the evening. One sale went through and the other didn't but I got an email Monday saying it was cause something was wrong with te card I'd used (sleepy me out in a wrong number, whoops!). So I corrected the mistake and it went through. By Tuesday the first one shipped by Wednesday the second one shipped, both were at my house by Friday in perfect condition and were exactly what I'd ordered. I was bracing myself all week to be the recipient of something totally different than what I'd ordered or to not receive anything at all based on previous reviews I'd read, I was really scared cause that was a lot of $ spent on two items. But I was pleasantly surprised and very relieved that I got exactly what I ordered in a very timely manner for a great price and no shipping fees! I would totally do that again!

Gilt 's final sale stuff didn't provide any warranty of the product, but their description did not mention about it, after you place an order, you can't cancel it, If you call the customer services, they will blabla a lot but do nothing about it. I think they are lier, the behave is cheating, I will suggest everyone for looking this review, Not buy anything on Gilt. I would like give the review for 0 start.

This company is HORRIBLE. Bought a pair of shoes and in the site show delivered but I have not receive them. Contact them 3 times and the answer was the same.NO HELP at all. I lost my $$$ and my time chatting to them.

Ordered pants, received shorts. Returned shorts the next day with label printed from their site. Label address was in Kentucky. Tracked package. Package arrived in Kentucky then sent to Illinois which then returned it to Kentucky. Called customer service (X4) who responded "we will process your refund when merchandize arrives at warehouse". 30-days later. No refund posted. Reported to Chase Credict Card, let them handel it. My advise, do not order. Your savings on the merchandise will be used for purchasing aspirin for all the headaches that this company will cause you.

Beware. These guys ship usps. I had an address change and the usps wanted an additional 20 dollars for delivery which I refused. I emailed them 3 times with the new address and was assured it was going to be reshipped. A month later, still no order. I emailed again only to get the following email Stephen Guinane, Sep 23 10:29:
Hi Elina,

Thank you for reaching out.

I'm happy to clarify our shipping options for you. As I look at this order the economy package is being used. Most items ship via UPS but the Economy option ships via UPS SurePost (final delivery made by USPS).

If you select Economy shipping at the checkout and later need to make an amendments to your shipping address or to request a Will Call or other form of interception, we will be unable to do this. Sadly, we only have this option for orders that ship via UPS. USPS may request additional costs if they're able to alter an address in transit.

Apologies for the trouble but next day shipping was not selected at the checkout.

This in their opinion constitutes as resolution..

Ordered a Shirt online. First out of stock, then they ship me Towels for some guy in Texas.
I called and emailed customer service and was told basically everyone makes mistakes.
In order to get my shirt, I had to print a label off their site and send the towels back. Once they receive the towels and check the condition... I will receive a refund on my order and then I can re-order the Shirt... WTF... it is all their fault and not only did I not get my shirt, but I am the one that had to go out of my way to ship their mistake back!
I saw some really nice looking items on their site, but with all the comments about their poor customer service and my experience, I am dome with Gilt and everyone else should be too!

Terrible customer service, no refunds and very long delivery times. How is this site still in business? Stay away from it!

Loved this place! I got unreal prices here, and everything is such incredible quality!
This Dolan jacket I bought for $26 was over $200 on other sites... it's unreal! Would definitely shop again!

I have a strong hunch that most of the items that suggest they are from the designer are actually either "inspired" by the designer's style but made by someone else OR a lower standard knockoff possibly made by the designer exclusively for Gilt. If you read the fine print, it tells you to check the FAQs to understand what is meant by 'slash through pricing'. There is just something about this site that doesn't seem right. Can anyone shed any light on this thought? For instance, how is it possible to be on a waitlist for something that is 80% off unless they're simply manufacturing it again and, if so, could they really already predict that the new inventory will be 80% off?

MOST UNTRUSTWORTHY COMPANY EVER!
I wish I had seen SiteJabber before buying from this company. They are very dishonest. As other posters have indicated they engage in false and misleading product description. They have refused to accept a return of the product and further even refused to provide a manager contact when I requested an escalation of my compliant. Based on this product description:
"Astor Sofa Set:
Set of two sofas
Durable powder-coated cast aluminum frame construction"
I purchased the product. What they delivered was 2 halves of one sofa which have to be connected by with a clip to create one sofa. Their rep said 'each piece is a sofa.' Apparently in Gilt math 2x. 5 = 2. If I could give them ZERO stars I would. I encourage everyone to report them to the NY Attorney General's Office. When enough complaints build-up they will be investigated and hopefully shut down.
