ASOS is a UK-based online fashion retailer founded in 2000, originally as As Seen On Screen. Headquartered in an iconic art deco building in Camden, London, it offers a wide range of clothing, accessories, and beauty products, targeting young adults globally. ASOS has a strong presence in the online retail market and emphasizes sustainability through initiatives like the ASOS Responsible Edit.
The overall reputation of the company is significantly marred by persistent customer service issues and delivery failures. Customers frequently report delays in shipping, incorrect items being sent, and a frustrating return process that often leads to dissatisfaction. Many express frustration over the lack of accessible support, relying solely on chatbots for assistance, which often fails to resolve their concerns. While some customers appreciate the product quality, the overwhelming sentiment reflects a declining trust in the company, as unresolved complaints and inadequate communication dominate the feedback. This suggests a critical need for improvement in customer service and clearer return policies.

Got my clothes, not of great quality but I guess that's on me for trying it out... but the real issue is that they charged me an extra $52.46 CDN - i called the post office, and its not a duties or customs charge. Their website shipping/handling says that it does not charge any fees for orders over $150, and mine was definitely over that. The company added on a sender's fee, and there's no way for me to get a refund on this because they have absolutely no customer service. Instead, they have some stupid virtual assistant that has terrible word recognition software... soooo just saying. If you want to take your chances and order from here you can..
Llevo 3 semanas esperando recibir un pedido. El transportista del producto miente diciendo que ha sido entregado y Asos responde diciendo que espere otra semana y que después ya verán... Pésima atención al servicio. No recomiendo esta página, nada fiable.
Not worth it. They have discounts, you purchase it, they refund you. You contact customer service, this process lasts a couple of days and does not resolve anything. They will give you a coupon code to purchase with the same price. Guess what? You will be refunded again. It does not happen when you buy without discounts. At the end you spend so much time, it's not worth it at all. Customer service doesn't do anything, they claim there are bugs at app or in website, but they can't do anything.
I shopped with ASOS for about a month, with 1 out of 4 orders going missing (delivery company's fault which ASOS refunded me). So I ordered a replacement and was reassured that I can order more than one of the same item in different sizes for an accurate fit and return the unsuitable ones immediately, unworn, in original packaging with labels attached, which I did and kept the sizes that fit (they sell things by different brands so the sizing is never consistent and I have been size from Small to XL and from 12 to 16 in their clothing - ALL OVER the place! So ordering different sizes is a must if you want things to fit). So ASOS blocks me out of the blue. The last order arrives and again, only one of two sizes in each items fits right and I contact customer services about returning the unsuitable items in original packaging, new unworn ect... They tell me they are very sorry and to wait for their Specialist Investigation Team to figure out why I was blocked and wait to be unblocked before I can return anything and they guarantee that it won't take more than 30 days. Well, 45 days later - no email from ASOS, still blocked and can't get through to anyone about returning of the items and a refund. What a scam! I did nothing wrong whatsoever and any normal retailer would abide by the Consumer Laws, but not this company. They don't care at all. I've lost a lot of money and the stress of having to contact them so many times was unnecessary. I've read so many similar stories since and I only wish I read them BEFORE I bought anything from them. Because they've had hundreds of pounds worth of my business that they DO NOT DESERVE!
They sent me the wrong dress. I had to pay duty fees, on top of my own postage for the return, which they said they will refund me for, but am not counting on it based on their customer service. I am just utterly shocked that ASOS is willing to lose a customer over $16.51 CAD. If a company makes a mistake, which you did, they should make the customer whole again. Regardless of which country issued the duty fees or what have you. Instead, ASOS customer service employees have decided to argue with me about it and continually redirect me to the Canadian Border Agency website like robots, when I have explained multiple times how it works after speaking with them. It is quite disgusting that they find it appropriate that I'm out of pocket over nothing of my doing. I explained to all 1000 odd employees that have wrote me back on the issue that $9.99 of CODs are handling fees that you do not get back. I am paying them twice now for the same dress, and that's if I get the correct dress this time. No one is able to get past the sherking of responsibility and just admit that it is inappropriate and disgusting that I am being made to pay this twice. One employee when so far as to point out that I got a discount on the second dress. Let me break down the "discount"for you, I'm out $16.51 CAD, soon to be $33.03 CAD with the new shipment. I was given a 20% off coupon, which when applied is $115.12 FOR THE DRESS MINUS $
23.02 FOR
DISCOUNT= $92.10
$33.03-$23.02=$10.01
THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO SIT HERE AND
EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU GUYS US APPALLING.
I AM STILL OUT $10 PLUS TIME AND
THE AGGRIVATION OF THIS ORDEAL.
SO TO THAT EMPLOYEE, NICE MATH
If you are reading this, order from somewhere else! They are con artists and do not even have a phone number to talk to an actual representative. They will just have a different myriad of employees with varying and conflicting knowledge give you the run around until you hopefully forget that you are out your hard earned $$$$$. Not to mention the aggravation. I suggest you RUN the other way. Do not deal with this phony, shady company, if you can call it one.
I wanted to give Zero! For overall rating.
I ordered sweatshirt through ASOS website as a present. Wrong Item was delivered.
When customer service was contacted, they could not deliver the item I ordered other than refunding full amount when the package was returned.
After 2 weeks of returning the package, the refund was not received. I have contacted them in regards to refund, but they kept saying that sales tax is not part of the refund.
After chatting more than 30 minutes, we found the FAQ from their website that full transaction including sales tax to be refunded.
They asked me to wait another 10 days to wait for the refund to be processed.
They keep claiming that they owe me 44.52 not the full amount.
They also claimed that 4.99 had been refunded already, but I never received it.
BEWARE! ASOS may scheming off of customers who are returning items and requesting refund.
I never got my order. Chat kept me on hold for 1/2 hour, then said they couldn't do anything. Thieves. So sick of wealthy corporations with no heart.
I haven't got my parcel since I ordered from the 5th of March till TODAY! And I can't even track my parcel. I think maybe the have scammed me. I am from South Africa.
There is only one way to contact this company if they misplace your order or if something goes wrong-- live chat. The live chat does not work. I spent hours waiting for it to load on multiple browsers, using two different laptops and a phone, before googling it to find that I am not the only one with this issue. If something goes wrong with your order, and god knows it might with how disorganized they are, you will never be able to speak with a human about it. I may never get my money back. I will never shop here again.
Never received my package and no customer service to resolve the issue. This business is fake and do not waste your time.
Never got a refund and online customer service could not help, there is not a phone number for this company.
I bought a size 32H swimsuit top from mercari thst is ASOS brand and it holds absolutely nothing. A few jumps and everything spilled out the middle of the top. Designing a swimsuit for people with bigger chests means they require more coverage and support. I go to the beach or water park to do cannon balls, slide down slides, and have fun. Unless i were sun tanning completely still, this top is useless.
Asos becam a scam! The worst CRM ever.
They stole my money ($600+). They pretend to have sent the order but are unable to provide me with any proof. The order never arrived and in order not to have to reimburse me they just closed my account. They treat customers as stupid people. They are pure thieves do not order from ASOS anymore.
Ordered my wedding dress from them and got all the shipping information.
On the day of delivery, I got all the other items in my order that didnt have shipping information, EXCEPT the dress.
All i wanted to know where the dress was, but all i got was a bunch of passive aggressive checks i have to confirm to make sure i didnt "miss" my delivery. I got a delivery, just not the item they said they'd delivery.
Had to pay customs and everything and had to demand they refund my customs amount as well.
Got my money back, but not really sure what to do now that I dont have a wedding dress...
Feedback? Don't do bridal if you can't deliver, that stuff is TIME SENSITIVE and if you can't keep to what you promise... don't do it at all.
I have been a customer w/ ASOS for years w/ no issues until today. I purchased a pair of boots for my BF last week. He tried them on, they were too big. We sent them back the next day intact w/ no scuff marks or dents. I was sent an email stating I won't get my refund back because they were damaged. I asked for more explanations because these shoes were brand new and was packaged intact. They sent me this raggedy looking worned boots picture claiming that's what was I sent back; therefore, no refund. I have never seen these boots before in my life. They look nothing like what I sent over to them. I have been a customer for them and vouched for them to my friends. I will never spent a dime w/ ASOS again due to this situation. If you got to buy from them, take a pic or video of the return item for proof because you too will be accused of sending damage items over for refund.
I placed an order back in January it's mid March still have not received. When try to contact them just end up in a chat that is endless as you give all details they ask for and keep being mysteriously chat disconnected!… I just want the product or money back and in and endless loophole to get either…horrible got taken for my money stay away!
I'm Canadian, therefore duties are a fact of life. $41 in duties on $150 is a slap in the bank account. It's unconscionable. It's a don't buy. So don't buy from these guys. It's a learning experience and I have. You should too.
They told me it would be delivered on date, 5 days later still waiting, they won't assist you or answer a question till it's 30 days after the promised delivery date. Why both giving a delivery date if you don't stand by it?
Poor customer service and app
If I could leave 0 stars I would, absolutely sick of this company being $#*!.
If my order does not arrive due to the incompetent courier ASOS uses ( HERMES surprise surprise), I should not have to spend a whole day chasing ASOS and the courier around to fix a problem that is now mine- Asos should automatically refund or redispatch my order. The customer should not be made to fix the problem. I will be taking this further. Absolutely FUMING.
I ordered a batch of shirts and the measurements seemed to have some slight variations. I'm still satisfied with the product, but I can see how that could have been much worse.
Answer: Hello Em, Yes it is true. The site has very poor delivery and customer service. I do not recommend it.
Answer: Doubt it, I don't think they sell any knock off's. Depending on the print you got, some of them don't have stripes. Hope that helps.
Answer: No. They will find 101 reasons to screw you out of your money
Answer: No. If anything it has gottten worse.
Answer: Look, as I wrote here I shopped with them many times and I was never disappointed. I don't know where you buy from, but I live in Italy and it doesn't take more than 4-5 working days for them to deliver the package. If you're concerned about the quality, well, it's not really top-notch, but considering the price it's really good (you can't expect Max Mara quality from a shirt you paid 20 euros). As for the fit be careful because those are UK sizes and they are definitely NOT vanity sizing! Meaning: when you read "model pictured wears UK 8" you may think "they're lying, she's clearly a 6" but they're actually not in most cases. I have a body similar to that of most of their models, I ordered size 6 twice and it was a tiny bit small. So size accordingly. All in all I trust them and I like their product. Perfect low-cost site to shop from online.
Answer: Complain about Asos through the Retail Ombudsman, if more people complain about companies like Asos they will have no choice but to improve their service to their customers.
Answer: Your only option with asos is live chat. I used it just now and also a few days ago and it worked just fine. They solved all my issues. Chat is the only way to contact.
Answer: You have to be a careful shopper. Check the fabric content! I just purchased Is 4 pairs of cargo pants. Same style, different colors. They are 100% cotton and excellent quality. I also purchased things by topshop and free people on this site. Asos has its own brand but sells others. Returns are effortless so I don't know why so many people are complaining. I have very high standards and they haven't let me down yet.
