This is the first time writing a review on a company. I usually don't voice my opinion but now I'm really mad. Whenever I order something from Urban Outfitters a get a confirmation email and 5 minutes later a cancellation email stating that my order was canceled with no explanation. I really wanted a certain item I called customer service told them about my issue and asked if I can order via phone and they told me a customer service rep will contact me shortly. In the meantime I tried ordering online again only to get a confirmation and then the familiar cancellation email. I called again and was asked to call the processing department where I was told someone will call me back shortly and now 5 days later I'm still waiting for the call. I really want that item and only they sell it but had enough!

I ordered something for $50 and never received it. They put a hold on my account and when I called, they said I have to file a police report to remove the hold. This means taking time out of my day to go file a police report for a $#*!ty company that doesn't even respect their customer. Will never ever buy from this company again. And please save yourself some time and don't purchase from this horrible company that probably exploits people and over charges.

They asked me for the authorization code from by bank service, I gave all the needed info. They kept sending me requests about this authorization code and I've reached out to them 5 times in order to give all the needed information. Afterwards, they send me the message that my order was cancelled... Such disappointing experience

I ordered three items there, but received only two! Customer support did their best to help me with the lost item (it was good), but they said that they were sorry, the item was awarded the label "missing". I am disappointed.

They had an issue with my order, couldnt resolve it within a reasonable time. Told me they would call me and couldnt give me the number to call to fix it. I bought thousands of dollars of furniture, since they wont work with me to deliver I will be buying local. Will now delete their app and will not use them again

This whole company is a scam, they steal your money. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with.
I ordered a furniture item in February 2022 (wardrobe). Biggest mistake ever. The item was of poor quality and defective, so it could not even be assembled properly. I contacted customer service for a refund, first of all, they made me disassemble it and fit it back into the original box which took me hours but that's fine. Item was picked up within the next several days but to this day I DID NOT RECEIVE MY MONEY BACK. It is May! It's been 3 months.
I contacted their customer support through the chat several times and all they can give me is empty promises. They have been withholding my money for months, and I don't even believe they'll refund me.
It is not just $10, it is $216. Never again I will buy anything from this place.

Their stock is really cool, but their customer support and delivery is just awful. Just don't try to order here. Your package will either come too late, or won't come at all. It is a shame their online order system is such bad, because the stuff they sell is really cool.

This company is a fraud, they couldn't deliver products on time, (instead of promised 2-4 weeks it took 8 weeks, and STILL only partially shipped) they lost returns and basically stole $1000 from my credit card and make impossible to get money back.

How can this happen in western country?

My order partially came and the other half somehow went "missing". They even printed the shipping label for the product 13 days in advance but it ended up never shipping. I then contacted customer service to which they informed me they would process my refund in 48 hours, 48 hours came and they didn't process it. I reminded them again and after another 48 hours i still haven't gotten my refund. Don't trust this company.

Shocking
February 25, 2015

I bought a shirt and top in the sale, which never arrived. I contacted urban outfitters to ask where the item was and was told it had been delivered.
After disputing this with both urban outfitters and the post office. Nothing was done, for four months.
During this time I managed to buy the top again but it was no longer in the sale so paid full price. I asked urban outfitters to refund me the full price item but they have refused. Not only was it their fault I never got back the original order because they took so long to sort it out but then they refused to rectify their mistake by refunding the full price item which I only purchased because they were taking so long to sort anything out. Don't buy anything from this company they don't care about their customers and their staff are incompetent.

Shut This Company Down
March 3, 2021

After being told an item was in stock, I went to the Las Vegas store and it was not in stock. I then ordered this $26 colander to be shipped to me and they got the shipping address so screwed up, the package delivery could not even be corrected because UPS will only MODIFY or correct one parameter in a misaddress, and they got three parameters wrong---the street number, the unit number, and the zip code! When I complained the company, they offered no solution and took no responsibility. I then "googled" for the exact phrase, "Urban Outfitters Sucks" and 1100 hits were returned from the search.
Another satisfied customer? NOT!

Delivery is so-so
August 15, 2017

My order had a total of 6 items and was supposed to be delivered in two separate packages, which I was fine with. The first package came within two days, which I was super happy with. However, it was missing an item. Customer service lady was a little unenthusiastic but did issue a refund for the missing item. Second package was said to be delivered but was nowhere in site. I called again, and they happily refunded me for the second package. I don't know if it was the fault of the delivery service or Urban itself, but it was a hassle having to call over and over again. But for the two items I did receive, one was a little unlike the picture and the other was a romper that rode up your butt too much. It looks like I'm going to end up returning the ones I received, so basically I spent days ordering and waiting just to end up not keeping any of the clothes.

ALWAYS IMPRESSED
April 28, 2017

Every time I have order from UO I'm always amazed with how quick shipping and processing is, especially living in Canada (standard shipping takes a somewhere b/w a week and a week and a half). However, I do hate paying for shipping even though most/all of my orders are over $50. Also, some clothing items are very expensive but I can never find anything as good as UO. Despite, such bad reviews from others I will continue to shop and recommend urban outfitters to my friends.

Continuous delays
April 16, 2021

I ordered 2 pairs of skates at the same time, the smaller pair said it would be delivered on a specific date and was. The larger pair said it would be delayed for 2 weeks and then delivered. After the 2 weeks it said delayed another 2 weeks, 2 weeks later delayed again 2 weeks, not impressed.

RUN AWAY!
December 20, 2017

15 years I shop on the web and I have never seen that!
I bought a track suit on Urban Outfitters. Put in the basket and paid for assorted top and pants.
I wait for my parcel and receive only the pants, in the same time an email saying top was not in stock! They did not charge for it but I wanted assorted top and pants.
I only have a pants...
I complain and they blocked my account impeaching me to order again!
What the f...?

I ordered online since Jan. 5th & it is already about to be a month since I ordered & I have yet to recieve my items. Absolutely ridiculous seriously. I've ordered online before on other sites this was my first time ordering from urban & most definitely my last. Other sites do as they say on shipping description while here its on there time not yours. Never again.

Shipping is sucks
November 1, 2017

Urban Outfitters shipping is soooooo slow, they said delivers in 7 to 10 business days, actually you have to wait for more than 10 business days! And they always do not send your all packages at one time

Unable to order.
December 7, 2015

I've been trying for two days now to order from UO. Everytime I enter my address, it requests I log in again, only to take me to the same address information to enter again! Then I have to sit and watch the whole process repeat! A watch I wanted to order is now out of stock and I've been trying for two days to order it! I tried using the 'guest sign in' where you just enter your email, but it then forced me to create an account!
