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.

Fast and responsive shipping
February 1, 2018

I was very pleased with how quickly my items were shipped and appreciated how I could amend the delivery details through DHL. I would definitely order from Ssense again in the future.

Customer service

Great customer service through the online chat. There is no one would pick the phone though. Tried to contact customer service on weedends, really hard to reach them.

Very disorganized
February 6, 2018

I didnt enjoy online shopping at all because In the process I lost the items I initially wanted, I had to call them 3x a day for confusion that they couldnt get organized through themselves, I ordered express shipping somewhere within all the confusion that got changed in their system so it was nerve wrecking. Some of the staff were amazing and some of the customer service were extremely rude but overall the products are amazing!

The first time I ordered SSENSE item was through Fancy.com. It was a really good price for an item I wanted for a long time so I said 'let's do it!'. After finding out that the store has their own website, with MANY more items and even better, more deals, I ordered 3 more items. They arrived faster than the Fancy.com order, they were at such a good price, I for a moment thought i'm buying a knock-off. But in just a few days, I received the items and guess what? They were all original, boxed, beautiful and amazing! I LOVE IT! I will most likely come back to shop at this website and had already recommended it to a few of my friends. Thank you for a great customer service dealing with a few technical issues with the website and helping me place an order I will never forget!

X mas from hell
January 31, 2018

Im a big shopper, Im known on social media for my clothing and my style. So i always buy my love ones stuff they wont usually purchase them self. Such as the 2 balencaga sock trainers i orderedy mother and little sister for Xmas. So i ordered them and my comfirmation said it will come in the day after Xmas. That was find with me because i had purchased them more then one gift. The sneakers did not arrive until after January 18th. I order from this website a lot and i just think its horrible and inconvenient that no one was able to email me and tell me my packages were going to be late or when i emailed the company several times no one had an answer for me.

Hi London,

Thank you for your feedback.

Disorganized
January 30, 2018

Im always weary about purchasing designer product online and usually buy at Holts, Saks or Nordstrom. Ssense sale was really good.

I ordered Saint Laurent boots. I sent multiple emails requesting info on sizing and didnt get a response until the half-size up was sold out. Then my order was delayed for almost two weeks. When I finally got the package, I needed that half-size up.

Hire seasonal staff to support during sale season. Customers can only be so patient with delays.

Frustration
January 30, 2018

I tried 3 times to order the sweatshirt. Each time I was given an amount less than $10 to enter for verification. Each time I entered the amount several times without verification. I would cancel and start over thinking it would go better. On the third time I ordered and ran into the same problem, I called customer service. The person listened, reviewed the information and verified the order. I quickly received the sweatshirt and grandson loved it. The process was too frustrating to try again however.

Hi Kay,

We are sorry to hear that our security verification process caused you frustration. Every order on our website has to be approved, meaning we have to verify the information associated with your card. For first time orders in particular, this can cause a slight delay in processing. At SSENSE we ensure secure transactions for the customer as well as for us a business. We are always looking to improve this process, in order to make the check-out process as expedient as possible for our valued customers

We look forward to hearing from you so we can work out an appropriate solution.

Best regards,
SSENSE Customer Experience

Great website, great deals during semi-annual sales. No tax or shipping charges. Only downside Return(s) are expensive due to shipping by postal service only and paying extra for insurance.

Best website I've ever shopped on
January 29, 2018

Love the format -- items are easy to view; wide selection; prompt customer service and excellent about returns. Only thing I'd recommend is giving a more detailed description of certain items of clothing (whether trousers come unhemmed, can be let out, etc.).
