SSENSE Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to unreliable shipping and inadequate customer service. Many customers report delayed deliveries and unresponsive support, leading to frustrations with order cancellations and return processes. While some customers acknowledge the quality of products, these positives are overshadowed by negative experiences, including poor packaging and unprofessional interactions with customer service representatives. A common sentiment is a lack of accountability and transparency, prompting customers to question the company's reliability and consider alternative retailers for their luxury purchases.

No Follow Through
October 18, 2018

I had a fraudulent charge to this Company, while it was still in the pending status I notified SSense customer service. SSense stated they would advise their fraud department, not to worry since it was pending they would take away the charge canceling the order. Four days later the charge was not removed and when I called them back to let them know they stated they had mailed the $705.00 tennis shoes out to an address in Florida. All they did was apologize repeatedly and say there was nothing they could or would do.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
August 4, 2018

OK so I had an amazing experience with SSENSE. I ordered my package two days before I absolutely needed it (procrastination at its finest lol). SO i was super nervous to not get it on time... I got priority next day shipping but noticed there was a 2 day processing fee. I called them the morning after to inquire and they answered ALL my questions and confirmed that due to my location I should get the item in 24 hours. I followed up with them via email and they personally were updating me on the status of my shipment. AND I got it on time. The item I ordered (Off-White Belt) was in a box wrapped in tissue paper and bubble wrap so it was super secure. The belt itself is beautiful, had all of the tags still attached and was in mint condition. I REALLY recommend SSENSE and will 10% use them for online shopping in the future :)

Worst Service
June 28, 2018

I love their merchandise and their brands BUT---- worst service! Very unreliable. THey have lost my items... and are not even helpful about it. They will only refund after the items are returned back... well, they are lost in-transit! And, they refuse to do anything further. HORRIBLE!
(PS, for those in the US--- check other US retailers, the prices of items are much lower!)

Ordered a leather backpack and I got it within a few days (:
Product arrived in great condition and I'm happy I decided to shop on ssense. The website is really easy to use and their UI is clean and well constructed. I could amend my shipping address as well through my order history page without going through the hassle of sending emails.

Worst company ever do not ever shop here! I purchased a pair of Prada kitten heels when i received the shoe i noticed one of them was damaged but didn't say anything because i was sending them back right away the shoes were way to big. The next day i ordered the same shoe in the correct size. Ssense is refusing to return my money and the customer service representatives keep arguing and sending me nasty emails. It is impossible to wear one shoe and still have the other shoe perfect. Worst customer service and company ever! Beware!

I think this company could be selling fakes. While looking at Chloe backpacks I noticed this huge fault in the photos. The bag doesn't even say Chloe! Like it 100%should have Chloe embossed on the front then the next pic down it say CSole, if they can't even photograph real bags why would they sell them. Here is the link I'm talking about. https://www.ssense.com/en-gb/women/product/chloe/blue-mini-faye-backpack/*******

Ssense sucks
April 10, 2018

Ssense has the slowest shipping it took over 2 weeks since the expected delivery date. Then after customs they still didn't deliver it and it sat at my post office and ended up getting items stolen. It says exactly what is in the box and the price (even more than the real price) because of customs. Now it could take 75 days to get a return or a refund. Wish I just ordered from places in the states ssense is the worst.

Terrible quality
April 8, 2018

The items may be authentic (jury is still out on that), but I'm pretty sure that you're buying from the reject pile. I've gotten better quality from designer outlets. When I contacted customer support, they basically wouldn't have anything to do with me. Totally rude, terrible experience. Avoid at all costs.

This website has shown complete disregard for a tight-knit creative community in a matter of hours. No official announcement was released by the company beforehand. Change the name or change the layout... i couldnt care less. But ive just wasted a good 1/3 of my life making art that no longer exists. 20 sets and collections id drafted - all down the drain. This was literally my only source of creative freedom and i was extremely proud of my archive. We're ALL pissed off and that speaks volumes about how influential polyvore was.

Don't bother shopping at SSENSE. Terrible company with terrible clothes and service. Go to literally any other store and purchase something there. If you were worrying about their customer service, you should know they have slow shipping and slow responses back.

I have been buying from this online shop for over eight years and recently my last two purchases have taken at least seven days from when they were shipped to be received to me. This would be fine if it were not for the express shipping included in the purchase price. In the past, Ssense used Fedex and packages would be received within two days to California. These last two experiences are making me reconsider buying from here ever again.

Found an Alexander Wang top for like 90% off and it came quickly in the mail. When they do their (twice yearly?) sale you can find some amazing deals.

Had the worst online shopping experience.
Ordered a t-shirt with express shipping 3-5 days. It took almost 4 weeks to come to the country. During this time customer service representative was trying to convince me that the parcel with the customs, when it clearly wasn't. Because when it did got to the customs 4 weeks later ( the parcel status online was updated straight away) they hold it for another 2 weeks there = 6 + weeks total, after paying tax and duty, the parcel was released but 2 days later post tells me that the parcel was damaged and they posting it back! So i talk to customer service again, which try to blame our customs once again and saying that a lot of customers having troubles with shipping, i get an email saying that i will get a refund after they will get the item back. That's it! So now i have to wait again to even get my refund. Nobody asked if i want a replacement or anything else instead... no compensation... NOTHING... Honestly i do all my shopping online and this one is by far the worst experience that i have ever had.
Would not advice anyone from overseas to order from this website.
