      I am writing to address the distressing discovery that you have been sharing my nonpublic information with credit bureaus, resulting in inaccurate reporting on my credit profile. This violates my privacy rights under 15 USC 1681 section 602 and 15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2, which mandates written consent for such actions. Your inaccurate reporting, including incorrectly labeling timely payments as late, has caused significant financial and emotional distress.

      I placed a order and didn’t receive the most expensive item from my order and they put a claim in and denied it and told me to dispute a charge instead of fixing the problem that didn’t have anything to do with the shipping company and I also don’t want to the dispute the whole charge when I only was missing one item

      The 3 items in the package weighed 3 lbs total. The other two items were children's clothing items that were less than a pound each. There is also a history of claiming non-receipt of orders for this email and delivery address. Dillard's will not be issuing a refund.

      I recently placed a substantial order totaling $674.19 with Dillard's, anticipating the arrival of various items. Order number *********. The order was split into three separate deliveries, and unfortunately, the first two were significantly delayed due to unexpected snowstorms. Despite my patience during the initial delays, I grew increasingly frustrated as I received nothing in the mail. Attempts to contact customer support proved futile, as I received no assistance or information regarding the whereabouts of my packages. It was only today that the last package finally arrived, leaving me relieved yet exasperated by the overall experience. Having spent a significant amount of money, the ordeal has been disappointing and has left me questioning the reliability of the delivery process and customer support. This is super frustrating especially from someone who has been ordering from Dillards nearly 10 years and never had a single issue.

      We understand that delivery delays do happen with the delivery carriers, and while we do apologize for any delivery issues you may have incurred, our records do show that your orders were as follows: Order placed on 01/22; pkg 1 delivered 01/23 - pkg 2 delivered 01/26 and pkg 3 delivered 01/30.  Since you received all items we will not be refunding your money.

      I purchased the Classic Brellah Mini Water Repellent Platform Booties on January 17th. The order number is *********. According to the tracking number my package was delivered on January 21st. But i have yet to receive my item. I looked at the picture on the tracking number and first off the picture is blurry you cant tell what where it was delivered to because of that and it doesn't even contain the address number within the blurry photo. Secondly i can tell thats not my house I dont have a mat in front my house. When i tried to get assistance from their customer service they opened a claim for me and after 24 hours they said, “Our records indicate the carrier confirmed the delivery was made to the correct location”. So they denied my claim. Where is the proof of this because that blurry picture indicates thats it was not delivered to the correct house and i still have yet to receive my item that i purchased. There is no proof that my item was delivered to my house. I haven’t received any contact from the carrier only from dillards email team which was no help. Now i am suffering and being told to “charge it back” but i can’t because i did it under my zip account and that would ruin my relationship with the company Zip if i did that. I never got the item that I spent my hard earned money on and its very upsetting. No wonder all these comments here are people NOT getting their items!

      I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the recent experience I had as a customer. My order (Order #*********) was shipped via FedEx (Tracking #************), and unfortunately, the delivery process was severely flawed as I never received my order. Customer Service Representative and Supervisor were unhelpful. They cited the mere fact that the package was delivered, dismissing the significant issue of it being delivered wrong. Despite my anticipation, I have yet to receive the package I ordered, and the response from your customer service team has only added to my frustration. The photo provided by them is inadequate, showing only the box without any useful information. This lack of detail has made it impossible for me to understand the situation or take appropriate action. Additionally, when I requested information from Dillard's about what they received from FedEx, my request was denied. This lack of transparency and cooperation only added to the frustration of an already disheartening situation. This entire ordeal has been one of the worst customer service encounters I have ever experienced. The refusal to acknowledge a clear error and rectify the situation has left me deeply disappointed. As a result, I have decided to cancel all pending orders with Dillard's, as I cannot continue to support a company with such a flawed delivery policy and unhelpful customer service. I hope this feedback prompts a reevaluation of your policies and procedures to prevent other customers from enduring similar issues in the future. Sincerely, ******

      I haven’t received one of the item in my order ********* which is UGG Mini Bailey Bow II Water-Resistant Booties - Color: Sage Blossom. I contacted Dillards and they said they submitted a claim and if it is approved they will provide refund. Few days later, they emailed back with the response “ Our records indicate the carrier confirmed the delivery was made to the correct location. At this time, we will be unable to process your request.“ I have never received any contact from the delivery carrier or see any claim result from them only an email from Dillards said so. I checked the tracking number which only saw a blurry pictures with bunch of boxes sitting at front door. No where you can see or prove Dillards packages were there and how many packages they sent. I wonder why most of the complaints here are about the delivery that people didn’t receive their package.

      My order number is ********* I have been going back and forth with this company for over 2 months now over items that were delivered to my old address by mistake, as I had just moved. After being promised a refund in the beginning It was then followed up with collards has fulfilled their obligation, and to “file a dispute” with my bank for my money back. What company tells their customers this? I’ve explained several times I used Klarna the pay in 4 app and have no way to dispute. Klarna has also told me several times the merchant has to refund me in order for my money to be returned to me. Dillards refused to help I have such a bad taste in my mouth I’ve come to BBB as a last resort. They even refused to send the order back out to my correct address. At this point I want my money back and nothing else to do with the company.

      Dillard's delivered the packages to the address provided by the customer and has proof of delivery.  Dillard's is not liable for packages once they leave Dillard's distribution center and are handed off to the carrier. The customer will need to dispute the charges with the payment source she used.

      I ordered a pair of white loafer from Dillards. They shipped timely and I even got a notification they were delivered at 7:00 pm (which was unusual as USPS does not deliver at this time to my building) and they were left "at or in the mailbox" which is inaccurate because a pair of shoes will not fit in a standard small mailbox in a highrise building. I checked with the staff and no one saw this deliver that night. I call Dillards to tell them the issue and they said they would open a case and send a replacement. OK, then a couple days later I receive an email saying that the case is closed and they will not send a replacement. So I call Dillards and an associate told me that all I can do is dispute the charge with the credit card company and there is nothing she or Dillards could do. I find this repulsive customer service, so in the end I received nothing and lost $100. Dillards is a dying concept and it is shown by the horrible customer service I received. If Dillards would have been more gracious and send me a replacement then I would not file a report but it needs to be known that they should use different and more reliable shipping methods, improve customer service and provide replacement products when in fact this package was clearly stolen. I would like a replacement of the product to resolve this issue. Otherwise I will blast this on BBB and social media.

      I never received a package that I ordered from Dillard's (Order # *********). Dillard's shipped the package via FedEx (Tracking # ************). FedEx delivered the package to someone's house other than mine. FedEx provides a photo of the delivered package. The house in the photo couldn't be much more different than my home (i.e. - I have a single door, the house in the photo has a double door, my door is painted white, their door is brown, I have a black security door, their house doesn't have a security door, I have a cement entry they have a Mexican Tile entry, I have a cement walkway, they have a brick tile walkway, my house is painted a light tan/yellow, their house is brown, etc.). Clearly FedEx delivered my package to the wrong house. But because FedEx provided Dillard's with a photo showing that they delivered the package somewhere, Dillard's Customer Service Rep and Supervisor both tell me that they can't authorize a refund (as the package was delivered; who cares where it was delivered?). This is ridiculous. I asked the Customer Service group to have a manager from Dillard's at Glendale (AZ) Arrowhead Mall to come by and compare my front door to the FedEx supplied photo of the house where the package was delivered. Apparently, they won't do that. I asked Dillard's to supply the information that they received from FedEx, they refused. What a run-around. This is one of the worst Customer Service encounters that I have ever experienced. I refuse to do business with Dillard's in the future, as I don't view them as a reputable company. I cancel all pending orders that I had with Dillard's so that I don't have to go through this again.

      Order #: ********* Email: ******@gmail.com Date of transaction: August 20 Date of said ‘delivery’: August 23 Transaction amount: $106.93 I ordered from Dillards on August 20 for an Ugg’s Platform Slippers and was given the estimated delivery date of August 25. Comes the 23rd, I get a notification from Ugg’s that my order had been delivered. I check outside and NO they in fact did NOT deliver. After calling FedEx and letting them know my situation they say if my estimated delivery date was set to be the 25th then it might turn up by then around that time and that I may have just given a false delivery tracking update, and if it hasn’t come by then I should consider asking my neighbours. The 25th comes and nothing came. I asked my neighbours if they’ve seen anything or a FedEx truck come anywhere nearby and they haven’t seen anything either. I call Dillard’s and explain to them my situation and quite ‘empathetically’ they apologize for my inconvenience and tell me they’ll be able to process a refund and I should know more of an update to this in 24-48 hours. I’m relieved at this point until I get an email just today from Dillard’s stating: ‘Our records indicate the carrier confirmed the delivery was made to the correct location. At this time, we will be unable to process your request’. I find this to be quite UNFAIR as I was promised a refund and yet they come to turn back on their words days later when I’m already off the phone. Their customer service line has been little to NO help and I’m stuck on this loss! I should be provided a refund back to my original payment method like I was promised!
