Shopping online with Lulu's was very easy and quick. I had my items in my possession in a super reasonable time and didn't have any issues whatsoever. I will definitely be ordering from Lulu's again!
Lulus send faulty goods and they refuse to cover the cost to return them so I can reclaim customs charges (I am an international buyer) or refund the customs cost themselves, avoid at all costs.
Hi Gareth,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback! We're truly sorry that you received a defective item, and we apologize for any frustration regarding international return policies. At Lulus, we really value all of our customers and we hope to improve your experience however we can.
When you contacted our customer service team about this purchase, we did fully refund the order's cost including the shipping fee. We issued this refund without requiring a return, so that you wouldn't need to pay for return shipping. We're unable to cover the cost of return shipping fees since we have fully refunded your transaction and are unable to refund more than was paid.
As customs fees are paid to your country's respective government rather than to Lulus, the refund for those fees would be coordinated by the appropriate agency. We reached out to you directly via email on 6/21/19 to provide more information about how you can request these customs fees are refunded by the shipping courier. In the meantime, we have processed the refund for your order's cost as mentioned prior. As a gesture of apology for this experience, we've issued you a $30 USD store credit which you're welcome to apply to any future order!
We hope to improve your experience with this order, and your overall view of Lulus. We truly do want to help however we can! If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to respond to our email.
Enjoy the rest of your day! XOXO
I have been shopping with Lulu's for over two years! I finally found a store that carries clothes that fit me! I am a 4'10", 95 lb. woman. Even though I am 78 yrs. Old, I always find styles that I like. I constantly receive compliments on what I'm wearing! They're Customer Service is outstanding! When you buy $50 worth of merchandise, there is no shipping charge. If you have to return something, there is no return shipping charge and returning an item is so easy, no hassle like other online outlets. Every piece of information about the item you are interested in purchasing is there, the complete description of the item, what the item is made of, if it fits true to size or if there is a little stretch, the size and measurements of the model in the picture wearing the item and the size of the item she is wearing. I would advise other online shopping outlets to take a look at how Lulu's treats their customers, making shopping on their website very user-friendly. They take suggestions when given and implement them if needed. I thoroughly enjoy shopping with Lulu's and they are my #1 choice for all my clothing needs. Thank you, Lulu's for making my life much easier and more interesting by making current and stylish looking clothing. I may be an elderly woman, but I am not going to look "frumpy" and thanks to Lulu's, I don't have to!
Despite the fact that Lulu's products are poorly made from cheap-looking fabric and are ill-fitting, their customer service is AWFUL and their return process is impossible to navigate. They do not answer their phones, I tried to call multiple times in order to find out exactly what I needed to include in order to complete my return, and I was put on hold for several minutes at a time. I ended up sending an email, and the representative did not answer my specific questions, just gave me a blanket response on the return process. I then sent my return and was only refunded for two of the three items I returned, and again, was placed on hold unable to reach a representative. After a representative finally called me back, they accused me of only sending 2 of the 3 items, stating that they had manually processed my return and there was no evidence of tampering, and I had only sent 2 items, which is absolutely false. They finally agreed to "take my word" and refund me for the third item, but never admitted that they were wrong when processing my order and never apologized for their horrible customer service. I will NEVER use this company again and will not recommend it to anyone else.
Hi Jenna!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and let us know about your experience. I am so sorry that the return process was not easy and painless as we hope it to be. We did only receive the stated items. What that could mean is that possibly it was tampered with before it reached us. Either way I am happy to see that we issued a refund for this missing top.
I have gone ahead and emailed you A $15.00 gift voucher. This will not expire. We hope that you will try us again in the future.
I truly appreciate you speaking up about this situation. My hope is that I am able to resolve this an turn this experience/review around.
Please let me know if you have any questions! XO
Exceeded my expectation. I received my package within 5 days. Dress looked exactly like the pictures if not nicer. The mermaid dress is long but fits perfectly. I have no complaints.
Hi Rita! Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We love our products, and are happy you do, too! If you ever need anything at all, don't hesitate to get in touch! XOXO
The clothing - dresses and shoes in particular - on this site are amazing, thick material (even for white dresses!), beautiful, and flattering to wear. The prices of shoes is also a bargain!
I am very happy with jumpsuit. Having reviews and pictures by real people with their take on size made ordering the correct size a snap. Will definitely buy again and again
I'm over 55 and just received my first order I was Leary because of reviews but I have to say I'm highly impressed with my order. I love everything good quality for the price.

I received my order with no issues. Beautiful dress and fit along with great quality. It looks beautiful on and will be amazing at the wedding in a few weeks! Will be ordering again!
Lulus makes their return process look easy but you will be out over $50 if you try to make a return. You get docked the shipping cost for both ways which will be over $30 (the return shipping is more expensive) and they will NOT refund you the sales tax, which is unheard of. Instead, after back and forth with them passing me to different departments because the customer service rep couldn't do simple math, they linked me a to Canada Border Service Agency's website to mail a form to the government to get my sales tax instead. They provided no guidance at all and said it was their standard policy. I've had international refunds before and this has never happened before. They always refund the sales tax. It makes no sense why Lulus wouldn't refund the sales tax and get the refund from the government themselves. This has been the worst customer service experience of my life. They don't even have a customer service phone line. I have warned all my friends and will never be shopping here again.
Hi, Hailey
Thanks for taking the time to share your review. We're sorry to hear that cost of shipping and returning was higher than expected. We're actively working to improve our international guest experience. Without an order number provided, we are unable to see if your order was placed before or after some of these changes have been implemented. We would love to get in touch further so we've sent you a request through Sitejabber's verification system in hopes we could be provided with your order info.
Please feel free to reply at your earliest convenience so we can reach out! Xo
The food and service was great! We had a great server named drew who was quick and did a great job and was very nice
Lulus is probably the worst clothing company I have ever experienced. On their website, they had a gorgeous coral dress that I was really interested in getting for prom. Once it arrived, the bag inside the box was tattered & the dress wasn't even coral. It was an ugly bright pink. Not only that, but the fabric was cheap & some of the seams were coming undone. I was livid. I spent over 50 dollars for a dress that was of the same quality of a dress at goodwill?!?! When i went to return it, they leave you ONLY SEVEN DAYS to return your item, or else you get no refund. Not only that, but they also make you print out return labels & make you pay for the shipping back to them. OH AND THEN you have to call them to verify the return which is beyond ridiculous. After i returned it, I called customer service to resolve my issue, & they were unbelivably rude to me. WORST ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE EVER.
(+) They offer a wide selection of dresses
(+) Website is well-designed (not spammy), with filters and sorting. And the product information is completely comprehensive with sizings, fit, material description, etc.
(+) They offer free-shipping BOTH ways (for returns and exchanges) in the US, for a minimum purchase of $50... sometimes offer no minimum
(+) Once or twice a year, which is when I use them, they have AMAZING sales. 90% certain dresses with no-minimum shipping! I've added 2 pictures below of the best deals I got. 4 dresses for $70, and the other picture was 3 items for $37.
(+) Products are shipped nicely, folded in zippered plastic bags.
(+) No additional tax or processing fees!
(-) Takes a long time to receive product after placing order. ~10 or more days.
(-) If you buy things on sale, like me, those products will likely be final sale, meaning not exchangeable or returnable.
(-) The shades of some dresses on the website may be misleading. A chartreuse (greenish yellow) dress looks yellow online, an emerald looking dress is really jade, and I ordered a peachy looking dress but it was more pink than expected.
(-) For the free return / exchange, you have to return the product within 7 days
(-) I've heard that if you're in Chico, California (which I am not...) that multiple people will have the same outfit from lulu's
This was my first time purchasing through Lulus.com. I loved their selection of clothes, especially dresses. I found a couple dresses that I wanted to order for my graduation and graduation pictures. I ordered them 3 weeks ago now and I have yet to receive them. First they shipped my order to the wrong person, which I then had to wait for it to get back to Lulus which took over a week. Then when I was trying to find out when they could get my order to me, someone refunded me without me asking, which I then had to call and get sorted out since those items are now out of stock. They finally received my order in the warehouse 4 days ago and have yet to ship it out. When I called about it for what seems like the millionth time, they claimed that they are weeks behind and have thousands of items to go through and I am putting them even further behind by them trying to locate my items (items that they lost in the first place). This whole thing could have been avoided had they actually shipped the proper orders to the proper person. And now they supposedly can't locate my order in the warehouse. So maybe if I'm lucky I will have my items by graduation, though I've had to cancel my pictures. Good thing I ordered a month in advance. I will not be shopping from here again and I will advise my friends to not shop there either.
Hi Brittani!
Thank you so much for your recent order. We are so sorry this was first returned to sender but I do see this arrived. A return was initiated and this will be delivered on Monday, 05/08/2017! After we receive your return at our warehouse, our policy states it will be processed, and you will be refunded within 2-10 business days. Once your return has been processed and your refund issued, you will receive a return confirmation email. I have added special directions to pass to the refunding team as soon as this gets processed. If you have any additional questions, please let us know and have a great day! XOXO
I reached out to the Lulu's customer support team multiple times (at least 5-6 at this point), and I have gotten slow responses, evaded answers, and lack of resolution.
I was supposed to be sent 4 items in total. After I place the order, 2 items are placed on backorder. Since then I have tried to get an accurate refund for about a month. Lulu's has an incredibly inefficient and error-prone returns/cancellation system, which is causing incredible frustration despite my following the required process exactly. Lulu's needs to give me the refund I am due.
I returned the 3 items I was actually sent, even the backordered one, within 2-3 days of my receiving them. Yet, Lulu's is still trying to charge me return shipping costs on what should be free return shipping and also trying to claim that they haven't received items that I returned in the same package as another item they said they did receive. During this process I have faced no less than 3 errors on the part of Lulu's sales/returns department, so it is safe to say I am not convinced. I have bought online for years, and never faced such unhelpful customer service, except maybe the 1-2 unscrupulous sellers on eBay. This is the first time I have purchased from Lulu's. I have so far been refunded less than half of what I am due and have now reached out to PayPal to try to get a better resolution.
--- update: after leaving this review someone from Lulu's did help me find a resolution, so I am now very happy with that. Finally, I can put this situation to rest, and I appreciate their courteous tone throughout the ordeal.
I like the quality of their clothing, but I still feel it's a bit pricey for what they are offering. I had to return a few things, but their returns are super awesome and no hassle!
Sometimes my orders come really fast, sometimes my order gets shipped from Pennsylvania to California BACK to NORTH CAROLINA and then back to California... I realize that might be a ups problem but when I order a dress for a wedding two weeks ahead of time and it says it will be here in four days and it ends up takes a four WEEKS... it's kind of a bad reflection on Lulus
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry for any disappointment regarding the delivery times for free ground shipping. We never want a customer to be dissatisfied with their experience, so a member of our team has reached out in hopes of providing assistance.
You're correct that the shipping carriers ultimately determine when the package will arrive based on their volume, the route the package takes, and other factors. With that said, we do strive to have packages delivered as close to their estimated arrival date as possible!
Since orders placed with ground shipping do take an estimated 4-10 business days to deliver once in transit, we offer several expedited shipping methods. We've sent you some store credit to help cover the cost of 3 business day shipping on your next order! We hope we've been able to help provide some more insight. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us!
Have a lovely day! XOXO
I love Lulus - but I really want to be able to pay with two methods of payment at once. It would allow me to use gift cards with odd amounts to pay for my purchase.
IF YOUR CANADIAN AVOID LULU = SCAM
I ordered 3 dresses from Lulu amount = 297$US. When I went and picked them up I had to 141$Can in duties! Even the guy at post Canada felt sorry for me!
Now, the nightmare is not over I want to return 2 of these dresses so I have to pay another 100$+ to return to them!
By the way it is very important to specify that when you go on their website it mentions 'free shipping' It is not mentionned US only. I have ordered many times from US or Erope and I have never ever seen or heard about a 35% extra fee on your packages
So my dress that was originally about 130$ end up costing 400$! This is insane! I went on the online chat for help, spoke with Alison and Gaby they offered to pay for the shipping fee that is btw 12$!
They also want to give me a credit which I DONT WANT.
LULU, keep your dresses pay me back and prove me you are not a scam
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so sorry to hear about your disappointment in your experience with this order. We want to help however we can, so a member of our team has reached out to you privately in hopes of providing assistance.
In relation to customs fees such as duties and taxes, these fees are applied by the Canadian government when you import items. As a result, Lulus has no way to predict or control the amount of the customs fees paid to the Canada Border Services Agency. We try to maintain as much transparency about these fees as possible by including as much information as we can about them in the checkout process. If you do make a return, you may be able to apply for a refund of the customs fees' cost through the CBSA.
We have issued you a refund for your original shipping cost to help with the cost of return shipping. Today the team member who reached out to you also applied a 15% coupon to your order, so that we could refund you additional money to help with the cost of return.We hope that this helps to cover the cost of return shipping. If there is anything else that we can assist with please feel free to respond. We really value you as a customer, and we're eager to regain your trust in Lulus as a company!
Enjoy the rest of your day! XOXO
I have ordered 2 items. After waited 1 month didnt receive the item, I write to customer service to complaint! They said too many orders therefore miss out my order. Will assist to send to me ASAP asked me he patient. After waited 2nd month receive the package but only deliver 1 item (I have ordered 2 items) I wrote email to complaint again BUT NO REPLY TILL TODAY! Where is my order?
Answer: DO NOT ORDER FROM CANADA! They will charge you an insane amount for duties and taxes! I bought 2 dresses worth about $70 CAD each and I had to pay $68 CAD in duties and taxes! I've ordered from many other American companies and online stores and I've never ever paid this much is duty or taxes!

If an item does really well on our site, we will restock it if the vendor has that option still.

If you wanted to call, chat or email in we would be more than happy to look up specific items for you! If you have any further questions or concerns feel free to email back or call us at 1-866-918-5858. Have a lovely day! XOXO
Answer: Hi Tina! Thank you for contacting us. All of our Prices are in USD. We are located in California. The material, price and origin on your item's all help in determining what your government will charge you in customs for duties and taxes. These are assessed as you are importing items into your country. Items that are made in the USA are less likely to be charged. I hope this helps! XOXO
Answer: Hi Kelly! To find the best fit and size for you, we recommend comparing your personal measurements (bust, waist, hip) to our size chart online. If the dress you're looking at does not have much stretch, you might consider sizing up for the best overall fit. I hope this helps point you in the right direction! If you have any other questions about sizing, please feel free to chat in with one of our Live Chat Stylists or give us a call at 1-866-918-5858. XOXO
