Important information
- Customer Complaint:
BBB with the use of artificial intelligence, analyzed the complaints on 3/27/2025
BBB shared the findings and recommendations with Gilt Groupe, LP
The findings appeared to show:Product Quality Issues: A significant portion of the complaints centers around product quality, including reports of receiving damaged goods or items not matching their descriptions on the website.
Delivery Delays: Many customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the timeliness of deliveries, indicating a recurring problem with logistics.
Customer Service Challenges: A noticeable number of complaints highlight poor customer service experiences, such as difficulty reaching support, inadequate responses, or unresolved issues.
Return/Refund Process: There are numerous complaints regarding the complexity and inefficiency of the return and refund process, where customers have experienced delays or confusion.
Gilt Groupe, LP on 4/16/24 responded to BBB with:Return and Refund Process: We understand that it can be frustrating for our Members wanting to return items and feeling like they are not getting their service expectations met, but it is always our intention to make this process as easy for Members as possible and to get them resolution. However, we are a flash sale/off price company where our inventory is constantly being turned over and we buy in limited quantities. This does not allow for exchanges very easily as the items are usually not available in alternate sizes or colors but does allow us to offer amazing deals on high end fashion and home goods. It also means that we need to put returned items back into inventory quickly to allow other Members access to these high demand/low quantity items. As a result, in early 2024 we reduced our return window from 30 days to 21 days to quickly put these items back in stock. We did grandfather in any purchases prior to that change and allowed for extended returns for customers for about 60+ days after that policy change and still do offer exceptions based on individual circumstances. Our returns policy is clearly outlined on our site in our “Help” section under “Our Return Policy.” This section outlines our return window for returnable items, 21 days from the shipment date. This section also outlines the refund options for returnable items, if they choose Merchandise credit they can return the item without a return shipping fee (this is similar to the policy of many other online retailers), or to original form of payment with a deduction of our $11.99 return shipping fee. Also outlined are the refund timelines, which is 3-5 business days for merchandise credit and 10 business days for original form of payment (this is dependent on the customer’s banking institution as we issue credits at the time we receive the item back). This help article also explains that items marked as “Final Sale” are not eligible for returns and explains that this information can be located in the product description on the site, as well as on the packing slip. Though Final Sale items and items outside of our return window are considered non-returnable, we do provide our members with exceptions based on the individual circumstances but generally offer each Member a onetime exception no questions asked as long as the item is in original condition and in original packaging. Though not ideal, at times we have to deny both late returns and final sale returns due to multiple requests/abusive behavior on the part of the customer.
Delivery issues: Receiving merchandise in the timeframe provided, in excellent condition is key to an amazing experience. To meet these expectations, Rue Gilt Groupe utilizes multiple shipping partners, including FedEx, DHL and the USPS. Our members can view tracking information and updates through their account, including any proof of delivery provided by the shipper. We have revised our policy regarding packages that are shown as Delivered by the carrier and the Member claims they have not been received. If we have visual confirmation that the package was delivered to the correct address, we consider this theft and direct the Member to local law enforcement resources. If we determine that a package has been delivered incorrectly, we do provide a full refund. Each of these situations is reviewed individually and exceptions to this policy are granted based on member relationship. We also further clarified our relationship with After Pay as a third-party payment system. With this relationship, any orders placed on Gilt using After Pay, that were claimed as not received after proof of delivery were directed to dispute the charges with their financial institute as we had successfully delivered the package.Customer Service Issues: Our goal is to provide above and beyond service for all of our Members and to resolve any concerns timely and to the satisfaction of our Members. We know that our Members have a choice in where they shop and we look for our Customer Service to be a reason they come back to shop with Gilt again. In addition to a comprehensive library of online help documentation and a chat bot, Members can call, email, or utilize our messaging service to obtain assistance. In 2024, 83% of email outreach was responded to within 24 hours. We continue to enhance our self-service options to allow our members 24 hour support. Associate level responses are monitored by the leadership team to ensure that we are providing excellent service to our Members, and coaching is provided regularly to our team regarding wins and opportunities and focusing on continuing to provide an above and beyond experience. In addition to regular coaching, the leadership team partners with our training team to provide continued refresher training, this training content is driven by trends in our contact volume, contact types that have higher than expected resolution times or member feedback, among other feedback loops.

I purchased a ************************ Leather Saddle Bag. However, I received a ******************* Cross Body Bag. I immediately called customer service and let them know of the error. I was told I can return the incorrect item and should receive a refund. I am not being told that the incorrect item belongs to me and that it is being returned to me. The ******************* bag does not belong to me and I have not received the correct **********************. I spent almot $1,000 on this bag only to receive something not even close to its value. This is an unethical business practice.Business Response

Thank you for allowing us to assist, we were happy to review. The item that was returned to us was not from our inventory, and could not have been sent from our fulfillment center.

It does not concern me whether or not the *** was part of your inventory. It is what I received. I do not want it back nor have I received anything from Gilt. I don't know what happened and it really is hard to track down where things went wrong. I have read a lot of reviews about your company sending out different items and then keeping the customer's money. I don't know if that is the case here. There must have been some sort of tampering either at the shipping department or once the package has shipped. I paid for a Chloe *** and I did not receive it. That is clearly the situation here.
I am out about $1000 and without a ***. It may seem like a small amount of money to a large corporation but it is something I have been saving up for quite some time. I have tried to work with customer service to resolve this and even tried to file a police report for this. I really don't think it is fair to hold me responsible for this and deny my refund. I just want my Chloe *** or refund. I would greatly appreciate a one time courtesy to compensate me in this situation.

Dear ***,
Thank you for reaching out to us. After further review, it has been verified that the weights of the items you received differed significantly from those that were returned.Unfortunately, since the Chloe *** was not returned to our *********** center and considering this discrepancy, we are unable to process a refund for it. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Of course the weight would be different because I never received the Chloe ***** I notified customer service of this fact as soon as I received the shipment. I was told I would be refunded for the wrong item received once it has been returned. I still have not received my refund nor the *********. I am out almost $1,000 because you as a company will not take responsibility for your failure to deliver the correct product as ordered.
I do not know what happened but the fact is that I did not receive the Chloe *** that I ordered and I took all the necessary steps for a resolution. The fact that you are denying me my refund or the product I ordered is unethical. I kindly ask that you reconsider your position and issue a refund as a one time courtesy and exception.
Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.

I purchased a hotel package from **** for a total of $998 on February 25, 2024. I received a confirmation, but when I went to book the trip last week, there was not an actual voucher or instructions on how to redeem it. I have contacted them a total of six times between phone and email and still have not received my voucher. At this point I have also asked for a refund since they cannot produce my voucher and I had to spend money on a different hotel.Customer Answer

I bought a voucher from Gilt for $105 for a facial that is worth $190 on March 23, 2024. The voucher in the advertising said it was good through June so I bought it. When I received the voucher, It was already expired on March 1, 2024. Why would I buy an expired voucher? I contacted the ********** and they told me that the price I paid does not expire and would not send me an updated voucher good thru June. The entire purpose for buying through gilt group was to get a discount on the facial otherwise its absolutely zero savings. I would also have to pay the additional $85 now since they sent me the expired voucher to pay for the facial. At this point they I asked for my money back and they refused. So they refused to update the voucher or refund me.Business Response

I did dispute with PayPal but their response was that I received the voucher. No kidding. I explained that I received an expired voucher but they did not seem to care. How can a business send an expired voucher and not resend a non-expired one. Very frustrating and poor customer service. Apparently the case is closed on their end. I did dispute it and PayPal did nothing. Thats why I wrote into the BBB.

I ordered a necklace from this company on 3/22/2024 in the amount of $1522.32. I intended to wear this necklace to a wedding. I determined that the necklace was not the right item for me and I needed the money more than the necklace. I initiated a return through their website and followed all of their procedures for returning the necklace, packaging and securing the item myself and taking it to ****** I received notice that the package was received on 4/19 and I should receive a refund in 7 to 10 business days. On 5/1 I contacted them because I had heard nothing about this refund. I was told that they received an empty box and he necklace was missing. I am 100% sure that I enclosed the necklace and they said the package showed no signs of tampering so they are dealing with an internal theft problem. I am asking for them to refund my purchase as I handled my return exactly to their specifications and I should not be penalized for internal problems with receipt of goods. I have been a customer of this company for several years now with no issues.Business Response

Thank you for allowing us to assist, we were happy to review. We have confirmed with our Brand Partner that upon receipt the package it included the packaging materials, jewelry box, but did not include the 14K 1.20 ct. **. Diamond Three Flower Necklace. They provided proof from the video feed of their team opening the return, and examining the packaging. The packaging was not tampered with prior to opening, and the jewelry was not in the package. We apologize for the inconvenience, but as the item was not received by our returns team, we are unable to assist with a refund.

I reviewed the response provided from Gilt. This is the first that I have been told about video surveillance of the returns process. If this is the case, then I would like to be provided with proof of the return with no necklace as I am 100% confident that when I dropped the package off at ****** the item was enclosed. $1500 might not be a big deal to a large company but it is huge to me. I have never had this problem with anyone that I have ordered before including ****. I am being asked to take the word of a company that has had many complaints filed against them and has terrible reviews through all of the online resources that I have researched in hindsight. I followed the returns process exactly as they provided, using their carrier. I have filed a case with the payment service that I used as well. If the necklace was truly not in the box when they received it, then I might also need to pursue action with FedEx.

I appreciate the acknowledgment that I have shopped with this company for several years. I have been very satisfied with the majority of items that I have received from Gilt and was considering future purchases before this incident. I have also been pleased with the customer service that I have received up until this point. However, in this instance I returned an item that I was dissatisfied with - in good faith - following the company's return procedures to the letter. I do not know at what point the necklace was removed from the box but I will once again state that I am 100% confident that when I secured the package and dropped it off at ****** the necklace was in there. I can't prove that to you, and you have been unable to prove to me that you did not receive it. Nor am I able to file a concern with ***** as I used the label provided by your company. In lieu of credit to my account, I would like to please ask to have that credit refunded to my original payment method. I have no confidence that in making future purchases from your company that I would have any security with an item that I wanted to return. Whether you are willing to acknowledge it or not, there is a problem in your return processing center. I would be more than happy to close this complaint and move on if this refund can please be made to me directly.

Dear sir/madam,I placed an international order via www.gilt.com with Order Number 30012186-1708204058800, aka **********, with total amount AUD$1,477.32 on Feb 18 2024 . The order was referred to as all cross-border taxes and fees included with shipping charge included as well. **** confirmed not able to deliver the order to me on Mar 22 2024. According to US commercial law, for online orders failed to be handed over to consumers due to merchant reason, the refund should have been issued in full once failure of delivery confirmed. However, **** was not responding to the refund requirement, by stating that they would need to wait till package to be shipped back to their warehouse in another 2-6 weeks, which is not reasonable and illegal as the ship-back process is pure between Gilt and their shipping agent, and has nothing to do with the consumer. Please do help to request **** refund immediately to the original payment credit card in full including shipping cost charged. Please feel free to let me know if any further question, and I can be reach via email ******************** Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you.YanCustomer Answer

I have received several emails from Gilt this week telling me I had a $20 credit and free shipping on an order prompting me to shop now. I received one at 10:18 EST last night to which I then placed an order. Clearly states this order is valid until 11:59 p.m. 3/12. I placed an order and was not granted the $20 discount and was charged $11.99 for shipping on 3/11/24. I reached out to customer service for this to be corrected and was told that they have expiration date yet I am receiving the offer with an expiration date of 11:59 p.m. 3/12/24 and I told them I am still receiving that same offer even received an email today at 12:06 p.m. EST stating final hours $20 off + free shipping. So they are still offering and telling me there is a discount and free shipping. I pushed back to customer service and they told me that they are not responsible basically. Push back again. They say they will put a credit in my account but I asked them specifically to credit the transaction that is in question ORDER # **********. This is a bait and switch and false advertising and just bad business practice. They should not be able to operate like this and take advantage of consumers. I want resolution and them to be held accountable for this and the way they market. The continue to tell me I have a credit and free shipping and do not make good on the offer they are constantly sending out in their marketing. This business should not be allowed to operate this way! And Consumers should beware! They are being taken advantage of and customer service is not capable of resolving. I asked again for the credit to my current order and they told me they cannot credit the current order. This is unacceptable. I would like a refund to my original payment method for this order of $31.99 as their email and offer states.Business Response

We apologize that this did not automatically apply, and are looking into the cause of this issue. We were happy to refund the $20 that should have been discounted, as well as the $11.99 shipping fee. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund of $31.99 back to your original form of payment.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
