Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with their orders, including receiving incorrect, damaged, or items that did not meet expectations, and experiencing prolonged delays in delivery. People also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the return policy, finding it unclear, inconsistent, and difficult to navigate, often leading to deductions for returns or being unable to return items at all. Furthermore, the quality of products received was frequently criticized, with many feeling items did not match descriptions or showed wear quickly. Some people were dissatisfied with the customer service, describing it as unhelpful, rude, and unresponsive, with difficulties reaching a human representative. Conversely, a few other people also felt that customer service was helpful and efficient, even assisting with returns for items initially marked as non-returnable.

I have been shopping on this website…For years and I LOVE IT

I have been shopping on this website for years. I see some people have negative reviews but I’ve never had any problems with this website they have actually gone out of their way to help me. There are times when I order something and it’s not what I expected. When I call consumer service they are always wonderful and kind very helpful. Just yesterday I wanted to return a shirt that I bought when I spoke to them they told me not to worry about returning it and they gave me a credit that was more money than what I spent on the shirt. I thought that was unbelievable that they did that for me ! I don’t know if any other websites that would give you a credit to buy something else for more money than you actually spent. The person who said they received a damaged item should have called customer service. I always check google to see if these websites have phone numbers. Most times they do. I hope people read this so if they have a problem next time they’ll call customer service. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH GILT I LOVE SHOPPING WITH YOUR WEBSITE!!!

Very inefficient and rude customer service
I ordered a dress in two sizes in April they both did not fit because of poor quality. So I returned them with the label they sent me.it was usps. I dropped it at usps . Up to this moment two month later they did not refund me . . I called and sent emails many times . But customer service is not helpful at all but super rude. They can not locate the return . One of them said may be they did not leave your home????I have never dealt with customer service more rude than this instead of doing some effort to try to locate the return this is the answer!!

If you are an international customer…BUYER BEWARE

If you are an international customer BUYER BEWARE! I have been a long time customer of Gilt and I live in Canada. It used to be very easy to make a return but this website and their customer service has changed dramatically. When you make any purchase, the return policy should be very clear and it is NOT. This is the 3rd time I have purchased something that didn't fit and when I went to start a return, it wouldn't allow me to - it is at that point that I find out that the product purchased is final sale. As well, customer service is BRUTAL!!! They don't respond until you email numerous times. I will be taking all my business to REVOLVE. This is a perfect example of excellent customer service and super easy returns.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service that ignores inquiries and refuses to resolve delivery issues.
I ordered a set of dishes through the Gilt website, which they shipped via FedEx. The package I paid for has gone missing, and their support team has done absolutely nothing to address the situation. I can’t file a claim with FedEx myself because it requires sender information from Gilt, which I don’t have — and the company won’t respond or provide anything. Total silence! No proper communication, no assistance, nothing.
I strongly advise against dealing with this mess of a company.

Packages never delivered twice

I ordered at the beginning of April and by the end of April I was reaching out to customer service for help and they assured me the order was on the way and gave me tracking info. After a few more days i saw the order delivered and i knew it was not at my address. I reached out again and CS told me to check with neighbors and around my home and i advised the order was not here. They proceeded to tell me they would ship out another order and gave me tracking. After a few weeks the order showed delivered and it was not at my address. I receive packages at least once a week and my address is clearly shown on my house. I reached out to CS again and advised the package was not here. I will never order from this company again. Terrible service

I will no longer shop at Gilt

I will no longer shop at Gilt, primarily due to the rudeness of the customer service representative, who practically yelled at me when I asked for clarification about why my account had been overcharged—especially when the additional charge did not appear in the original purchase order. I was told that the extra fees are due to each vendor, which contradicts the claim of free shipping. I don’t intend to shop there again. The entire process is confusing and unnecessarily complicated.
