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.

Great customer service & experience
February 18, 2018

The item my son wanted as a Christmas gift with very little notice to me, was fortunately available. Shipment and delivery was quick and arrived earlier than expected. He loves his jeans! Thank you.

I made a lots of order from Ssense.com. I really like the simple style of the website. And most order are free shipping within Canada and return.
Last time I ordered a pair of shoe and paid for over night delivery, but end up receive them after a week or so. It's around the New Year, but no one told me it would stop deliver in holidays. I thought I can get it before my birthday, but I receive it so late.
I think if I choose regular shipping I will receive them in the same time range. That's the only thing I am not happy with all the purchased I have made.

Customer service
February 2, 2018

.. Was great, once I was able to get a hold of them. But in the run-up, had to send emails and texts, which was a weird experience, bc it was difficult to capture all the information necessary. And it ended up being a totally different team member who helped me solve my return issue, and he was really amazing.

The Last Pair.
February 3, 2018

Apparently I ordered what was the last pair of Gentle Moster shades in the warehouse in this particular style. Took about three extra weeks for them to find the pair before shipping it to me. I paid for two day shipping. So yeah, a little dissatisfied.

Was good experience however when I went to modify and wanted to ask a question about my order, the order was put on hold. Did not make sense (pun intended) when my question was only asking about when the order would arrive. Other than that I am still satisfied with my overall experience.

:(
February 3, 2018

Took about 3 weeks to process my order
And by then half the items were unavailable.
And then you charged me before processing so I had to pay more than I should have and wait for a refund.

Such slow shipping!
February 6, 2018

I made sure I spent the minimum to ensure I received the 2-day rush shipping but I didn't receive my order for over two weeks as the order was just "processing" forever. I did not arrive in time for the vacation I needed it for. If I would have received an email saying they have delays in processing that would have been better, but I tried to call (no answer) so way kept in the dark the entire time. Very disappointed.

Very Disappointed Overall
February 1, 2018

My item took forever to be shipped and delivered. I purchased something for my birthday and was disappointed because it didnt come ontime. Trying to reach a representative to figure out the issue was even a hassle. Just very disappointed at the service.

I was able to quickly buy the product I desired on a clean looking website, which satisfied me, but the customer service was what really put ssense over the top. They allowed me to returnmy shoes that didn't fit with no hassle at all. Will order from again.

Unacceptable
February 1, 2018

I have purchased from
Ssense for years and have always a good shopping experience. This past sale season was the worst customer service I have ever experienced from ANY retailer, packages took 2-3 weeks to receive and only after 8-10 phone calls and emails. Poor responses and no ramifications
