This is my absolute worst online shopping experience! I had no problem receiving my order, but I need to return the items purchased. This is a "premium" order and a return pickup was scheduled for 4/17/19 and I am still waiting with the merchandise! Each time I call they tell me the driver came and there was no response! They say they called me on my phones, but caller ID tells me another story. In the meantime I have a pricey order that I am paying credit card charges for merchandise sitting in a bag waiting for return! It is a maddening experience and I urge all potential customers to STAY AWAY!

Questionable Quality
April 6, 2019
Updated review

I bought a pair of Tod's sandals from the Outnet and one of the soles fell off after less than 10 wears over a period of less than 6 months. If it wasn't the inherent quality of the sandals, it could have been because the shoes were kept for too long before they were put on clearance on too long, causing the glue to dry up.

Shop with Caution
March 9, 2019
Previous review

Before my most recent order, I've had a few pleasant experiences with The Outnet.
However, on my recent order, I ordered a pair of shoes that were in UK size. As I was unfamiliar with the UK sizing, I used the international size chart converter on The Outnet. It was only after placing my order that I realised that their size chart converter was so off...
So 11 minutes after placing my order, I rushed to cancel it. When customer service replied a few hours later, they simply informed me that it was too late for them to cancel my order, while giving me a very vague response.
From this experience, I believe that customer service didn't even bother to check if it was possible for them to cancel my order, especially because my item was only shipped out two days later. Furthermore, there's a $7.95 charge on returns.
Lesson learnt, I shouldn't have shopped on impulse The Outnet because they make things difficult for their customers. I personally feel that it wasn't entirely my fault because The Outnet provided incorrect information, which I used. The Outnet also clearly has an incompetent / lazy customer service.

Poor customer service
February 15, 2019

I ordered a leather jacket on Feb 7, and the total amount of my order was immediately booked on my account.
Feb 13: my order is still in "Processing" mode and money is still booked. Yoox group only charges money when the order is shipped. So it gets obvious, that I will not get my jacket in time (6-7 working days according to Outnet).
I ask to cancel my order and it takes 24/7 customer service about 20 hours to answer, that they have a huge amount of orders and they are sorry for the delay. Nothing about order cancellation!
Btw the answer was in Russian! While I was writing from Latvia in English. Yes, I do speak Russian, just like a lot of people in Latvia, but our official language is Latvian and my e-mail was in English.
After one more e-mail I finally got the confirmation, that my order was cancelled.
Feb 15: my order is still marked as "Processing" and the total amount CHARGED from my account.
Guys, are you serious? And does Outnet really still belong to the Yoox Net-a-porter group? Never experienced anything like this during my 10+ years as a loyal customer of this group

I bouth 2 dresses for Christmas parties with next day delivery. Not only they haven't arrived but they don't know when they will. I asked for a refund as I needed for this weekend and I've been told that the refund will be done once they will receive the shipment back as at the moment is lost somewhere in DHL hands. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS WEBSITE!

HORRIBLE
December 5, 2018

This company is a joke. I bought a dress, and it didn't fit, so I followed the online instructions to get a shipping label to return it. Almost two weeks later, and I'm still getting the runaround. Save your money and your time.

I was sent the wrong size bra in a matching lingerie set. Was told they've sold out of my size, they won't hold an alternative size and they expect me to make a separate purchase for the size they do have. I'd class this as second tier theft.

Website stated jeans I ordered were mid-rise, when I received them tag stated high-rise and they were def not J Brand Quality Jeans. Ordered a size 10 and received a 12. Phone customer support, Stella and Rudy awful, online chat Francine Excellent. If you need to use customer service online chat is the way to go! Fast shipping. Easy return. Prepaid label in box.

Improved customer care
November 22, 2018

I had an issue with Outnet and the customer service wasn't nice at first. I wrote them again and I got a sincere apology with offer for full refund. I am satisfied with the customer care now.
I just hope they inpect the product more carefully in the future.

The should really change their name.
Never again.
Attention "Walmart Shoppers". This site is a con job. Used, counterfeit garbage at designer discounted prices. #bogus. Rude customer service ( if you can get them to pick up the phone). Cannot understand how they stay in business!

I had a good experience ordering a high end dress from Raoul. Arrived 3 days later with no problem. I love their selection of clothes, although it is very pricey.

I ordered a jacket and paid for next day shipping. The jacket came in the right size, in a garment bag with tags. No problems with delivery, you just need to be there to sign (I ordered from the US, NYC and it shipped from their warehouse in NJ) Will be ordering again.

I ordered Marc Jacobs tote and it came without an authenticity card or the care card. It only had dust bag. I wrote an email regarding my concerns to customer service, asking where is the authenticity card and how do they guarantee an item is authentic other than a 2-sentence statement in FAQ section, and they avoided to answer directly. They said that they ship what designer sends them directly, and that they can assure me that items they sell are authentic. I wrote another email asking them to answer my questions directly. Even at a discount, you simply don't pay such high price for luxury items not to be sure whether they are genuine or not. There are certain standards to be met. I don't think I will ever shop there again or recommend it to friend.

This website is PHONY
August 19, 2018

I ordered several coats and shoes worth of $2.5K. They promptly emailed me requesting an "authorization" from my bank for this transaction. I called my bank which said they don't give out any "authorizations" and the transaction went through as normal. They gave me an 1-800- merchant phone line for the Outnet to call in case they had any doubts about the payment.
I then emailed the Outnet who informed me that everything is okay and they shipped my order.
Upon checking the UPS tracking # next day it said the merchant requested the packaged to be returned to the sender. I emailed the Outnet who informed me that "there was some issue with the payment".
I then checked my statement and the amount was not even pending anymore -- it was debited to my account.
Hence I ended up with NO goods, and lost $2,500 to a phony company. Of course, I then emailed the Outnet requesting the refund on the payment, and got NO response. I then had to file a dispute with my bank and now waiting on the outcome (the funds were not posted back to my account yet).

Conclusion: STAY AWAY form this SCAM company and save yourself a LOT of headache, unnecessary stress, plus a ton of time wasted on emails, phone calls, etc. not to even mention the lost time AND funds $$!

Purchase two Dolce and Gabbana handbags (same style just two different colours). One came without a dust bag. I know that's not a big deal for some people, but for handbag collector like myself, I was quite annoyed by it. Emailed, and had a phone call and their response was so bland, "We've shipped everything that comes with the bag." I understand if both bag didn't come with a dust bag but it was just one? I've purchased multiple times from The Outnet before but I think I'm done with them. Why spend so much money when they can't even solve you problems? Won't let me return that bag either.

I've ordered Zimmermann dress from this terrible online shop but the box with my order from THE OUTNET arrived EMPTY (not really empty, it contained only white sheets of paper inside). This was 6 weeks ago and since then I've called and I've emailed. Nothing worked. They just don't care about their clients at all. I've just received a phone call from the OUTNET saying that the investigation about my order is over and they won't return my dress or my money because it's not their fault!
And after some internet research it looks like I'm not the only client with such problem...

I purchased a bag and had it sent to my house. Little did I know there was a signature required. I work all day. I cant be home to sign and there's no indication this will be shipped in this way. I emailed them after two days of missed deliveries asking if it could be shipped to my work instead. They responded the next day with "sorry, it's already on it's way back and youll get a refund when it arrives to our location." WHAT?! I purchased that bag. Even the order said no returns allowed, so why is it being sent back! I called them after I received this email and asked if they could send the bag back to me. They told me to keep an eye on the website and try to buy it again when it shows up in stock... Unreal. To make it worse, i had a 20% discount applied to my initial order and the discount promotional period was over. They said if i buy the bag again, they'd credit me for the full price of the bag in my refund to make up for it. Could that be more confusing? I dont know whats going on over there, but without customers, you're not going to be around much longer. Two days later the bag is not on the site and it was the last one available when I got it, so it seems I'm out of luck.

I bought two pair of high-end jeans from this site, and they were both great! I bought them with 50% discount, they arrived within a week (I live in Sweden so this was fast) and they fitted me perfectly. LOVE the outnet!
