Dear *******,
Thank you for allowing us to assist, we were happy to review. Looking into this, we were first notified of your concerns at the end of January 2025.

I placed an order for a bag back in December for a bag. The bag never got to me I ended up having to file a ***** claim because neither Gilt or Afterpay would help me with this issue. I filed a claim with ***** and they could only reimburse me $100 on an item that was $473 because this company doesnt issuer their items to cut cost and gave me a $50 credit as if that was suppose to do anything. Cheap a** company.Business Response

I placed an order after previously receiving a credit due to not receiving an item previously paid for. After paying to expedite the order for $17.99, I received a completely different item than what was ordered. The purchased earrings never arrived and instead it is a shirt pin by the same designer. I contacted gilt 30 minutes after it arrived to only be told they will create a return label but the issue will have to be resolved on the backend with no expected resolution date, which is unacceptable. When I inquired about receiving the item I actually paid for and having it expedited in time for an upcoming vacation, I was told they couldnt because the item is probably in the wrong place. To make this worse, I asked to only have my expedited shipping fee refunded and the item and was told because I received something by the expected date, they wouldnt be able to. But, she could give me a $10 credit on a $230 order. So, as a consumer Im being penalized twice ($80 store credit wasted + not getting any true resolution) because you all did a puss poor job but its okay because it made it on time? I want my money back including the shipping fee or the item I paid for sent to me overnight to receive by 2/11/25.Business Response

Dear Mahlia,
Thank you for allowing us to assist, we were happy to review. We apologized you received the incorrect item. We are currently looking into what caused this to happen, as it could be due to an error in packing, or could be an error with the listing on our site. While we review we are unable to offer a replacement, as we may not have the correct item available. We were happy to see that you were provided a return label, to be refunded for the incorrect item. Once we receive the item back your refund will be processed in 7-10 business days.

Dear BBB,I am filing this complaint against **** regarding a recent issue with a missing item worth over $800. The only evidence I have to confirm the package was delivered is a photo from ***** showing the package on my front porch. However, I was out of state traveling at the time and the item was supposed to arrive on January 15, the day I returned home. Instead, the package was delivered on January 14 and left sitting on my porch for over a day, during which time I was not home to receive it.When I contacted **** customer support for assistance, I was advised to reach out to my financial institution to dispute the charge. However, when I asked what specific information I should provide to them, I received no helpful response. Additionally, I inquired why a signature wasnt required for an item of such high value, but my question was dismissed, and the representative abruptly ended the chat without offering any resolution. It felt as though Gilt was essentially placing the entire responsibility on me due to the ***** photo, leaving me without any support or viable recourse.I find this level of customer service unacceptable, especially given the value of the item. I am requesting clarification on ***** policies regarding signature requirements for high-value items, and I am seeking a fair resolution, whether that be a replacement or a full refund for the missing item.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that BBB can assist in facilitating a fair resolution.Business Response

Dear ****.
Thank you for allowing us to review. We are happy to help! The shipping estimate upon checkout helps to provide a rough time frame of when your package will arrive, and is not a guarantee as a variety of factors can speed up or delay the delivery process. As we successfully delivered your package to the shipping address on file, we typically would be unable to process a refund. However, as a one time exception we have processed a full refund of $858.12 to your Gilt account credit. Please allow up to 48 hours for this to reflect on your account.

On 1/9/25 I purchased and paid for an item on ******** in the amount of $590.77 Order#**********.I was sent a confirmation email for the purchase and another email with tracking information stating the item would arrive on 1/16/25. On 1/11/25 I got an email stating that the order had been canceled due to a mistake. I then went on the website and see the item reposted at a high price. This is a disgusting and unethical business practice. I purchased the item and paid for it and should still receive it. The resolution I would like would be to receive the item I paid for.Business Response

Dear *****,
Thank you for allowing us to review. We are happy to help! We understand your disappointment. When the Chanel Black Quilted Lambskin Leather Bolero bag was added to our site, the price was listed incorrectly. The actual listed price of the item is $5,550.00. Based on our Terms of Use, which you can view here (**********************************************************************), if the correct price of a product is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel our order and notify you of such cancellation. Due to the amount of the price difference we cancelled the item. We hope this information helps you to understand our process!

Nothing was offered as a solution, just that a mistake was made and that a purchase can be cancelled whenever. How is this ok? I paid for an item and it was sent tracking information. The mistake was made on your end and should have been honored.
