      I can not understand why a merchant gets paid immediately after a purchase but a customer must waits 10 business days to be refunded. Return was received in 06/25 at 9am tracking number ****************** refund should hv been processed nonsense the process is ridiculous

      Hello, I purchased gift cards from Ralph Lauren's store, I failed to place an order on their official website *************************************** using the gift card, and the gift card became invalid immediately after the failure!! My $1500 has gone missing!! I have contacted the official website customer service multiple times but have not been able to find a solution. They have requested that I return to the store where I purchased the gift card to try and resolve the issue, but I have already left the city! I hope you can ask them to give me a new gift card!! Or restore my original gift card!! I think their behavior is illegal! Malicious misappropriation of personal property!

      I bought a Ralph Lauren mens polo shirt from Ralph Lauren store a few months ago. However, after wearing only a couple of times, this polo shirt is already broken - terrible quality!Given the serious quality defect, I request Ralph Lauren to refund me for what I paid for this polo shirt ($98 including sales tax). I ask Ralph Lauren executive office to contact me immediately for the resolution.

      I placed an order on Ralph Lauren's official U.S. website and paid extra for expedited shipping, hoping to receive my items before the holiday. Unfortunately, the delivery was delayed by three days without any explanation.This morning, I received a notification stating that the package had been delivered. However, no delivery person came to my door, and the tracking information shows that someone else signed for the package.When I contacted Ralph Lauren's customer service, I was informed that it would take up to ten days to investigate the issue. I find this response unacceptable, especially after paying extra for expedited shipping and waiting for such an extended period.Additionally, the customer service representatives were unhelpful and repeatedly gave the same scripted response without offering any real assistance.Desired Resolution:A full refund or reshipment of my order with priority handling.Reimbursement of the expedited shipping fee.A formal apology for the poor customer service and delayed resolution process.

      Our records indicate we spoke with the customer on 5/26/25 and advised that we would share their concerns with the store leadership team.  Unfortunately, we are unable to access store transactions, so we recommend partnering with the store location where the original purchase was made in order to seek options for a resolution.

      I placed this order using a gift-card on Ralph Lauren's official website last month and I never received the products because thier carrier put the package on a unrecognized doorsep without anyone sign for it leaving me no resources with locate the package. Ralph lauren simply refused to provide me any form of reimbursement cliaming the package has been delivere correctly. I believe my consumer's right is severely infringed by this seller and thus seek help from you and relevant law enforcement body that works alongside with BBB.

      I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding my order placed on April 27th 2025, which totaled $2,626.10. Despite waiting far beyond an acceptable timeframe, I have still not received the products I paid for, nor have I received any communication from their team offering a resolution.This situation has been incredibly disheartening. As a loyal customer, I trusted that ********************** would uphold its reputation for quality and service. Instead, I feel ignored and disrespected. The emotional toll of waiting in vain for an order that was meant to bring me joy has been overwhelming, and the lack of professionalism shown by their company only adds to my frustration.I sincerely hope that Ralph Lauren Canada can take the necessary steps to restore my faith in their brand and resolve this matter promptly.Sincerely,***** ****

      Made a purchase with Polo Ralph Lauren, on April 16th in the amount of $1,790.65. The order # is **********. I made this purchase for my ************ as our anniversary is upcoming. However when tracking showed that the delivery was made, it was nowhere to be found in my building. For an order of almost $2,000 there was no signature requirement, in which when I called in before making the order, I was told that there would be or that it would be delivered into my building's Amazon locker for protective purposes (I notified Polo of this). I do not have cameras in my building & the package has not been found. I expected it to safely be delivered to my address safely. Now I was told after several weeks and communication with Polo, that I would be refunded, especially when I called in the 1st time. After waiting weeks, I was told that they are unable to issue a refund & that they are not responsible or liable. I will attach that email. This is strange. This is my 1st order with Polo Ralph Lauren. The also sent this email to my partner, which was shocking, as that is a violation of my privacy as a customer. In my attached document, you will see that they emailed her and me, which she had nothing to do with this order. She explained that in the past she had an issue with Polo too. That has nothing to do with me & this is my 1st order. My privacy has been violated, as all of the order details were sent to my partner. This was also meant to be a surprise for her. Being told to reach out to my bank, especially after this is my first order, no signature was put on my order as promised and emailing my partner who has nothing to do with this is wrong & a violation of privacy. Does **** just share order details with anyone, assuming because they have the same address? When I called about this, a supervisor used vulgarity & screamed at me. This needs to be resolved. In building, there are amazon protective lockers, which packages should be placed in. Polo said they notated this.

      Business Response

      We appreciate the opportunity to respond to this concern. After thoroughly reviewing the order in question alongside past interactions, we have concluded that our decision to decline the request was appropriate and supported by multiple factors. We remain confident in our original decision regarding this matter. That said, we understand the customer retains the right to pursue a resolution through their financial institution should they choose to initiate a chargeback.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 06/01/2025

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      None of my complaint has been addressed, in which my privacy has been violated, my order was not correctly delivered and the merchant has not done anything to assist me with this order. Again, they are instructing me to dispute this with my financial institution, as they previously said they would not argue this and I would receive my funds back. However this is unacceptable as they promised me a refund without having to dispute this charge , sent emails to my partner that were not authorized by me and claimed that I had made previously made orders with them, when this was indeed my first order with Ralph Lauren. They are implying that due to my partner having an issue with their order, that this correlates with my issue, which it does not. There was no signature included on this order of this value which I was told there would be. I spoke with my bank and legal advisor, in which I was told that polo emailing my partner was against my privacy and rights, that this order was not safely delivered and with a signature as promised and that this should be resolved. I will pursue this further legally and dispute this charge if nothing is done, as I have proof of emails without response from polo after contacting my partner (unauthorized by me), neglecting to refund me for non delivery of goods and will have this all documented. Hopefully this is properly handled now. Thank you.
