Long-term intermittent customer. Fortunately most purchases handled correctly. BUT: Ordered 2 items over 5 weeks ago. I was told both items were shipped several days later. 1 item received within about 1 week. Tracking showed 2nd item was at FedEx in CT several days after shipped. Never received. I used their chat and waited for close to an hour, then transferred, and told unable to process because not over 1 month--even though it already WAS over 1 month. I used chat again a few days later--unable to connect to person--waited over 30 minutes. Called Customer service--recording says use chat. 5 minute wait for chat, then 35 MINUTES! To process simple refund with a person. Eddie Bauer has big problems. I see pretty widespread agreement on line regarding bad customer service for things like refunds and returns.
Wasted hours of my life trying to exchange a cloud cap 2.0 storm rain jacket that liner started peeling badly and failed only to be shuffled between their local locations and back to their nonsense 1-800 #. Mailed in the old item and because they have no tracing program got stuck with another useless C.S. Twat. Save yourself the headaches and time and shop anywhere else but Eddie Bauer
Went back to an Eddie Bauer store where I bought some capris for my wife. They would not do an even exchange because I did not have my receipt. The same capris were still for sale in the store. The capris had all the tags. I will never shop with them again.
Buyer Beware; Long story short – bought a coat from Eddie Bauer used Klarna for payments. Returned coat (too small) & bought another. Eddie Bauer claimed didn't get it. Klarna still taking out payments. Both Companies are uncooperative and will not help. Customers are not number one here. Treated better at other stores like LL Bean.
I bought 3 pair of shorts all the same size. One pair didn't fit so I had to return them. They charged me $7 for return shipping on overpriced shorts. This is why Amazon is taking their business…poor customer service!
I have bought several pairs of EB jeans over the years and nearly every pair has a flaw in the material that after a few washing the fabric begins to fray. Shortly after that happens a hole develops. The jeans look like new other than the hole.
Since I don't wear the jeans that often I can't return them as they are over a year old. One picture shows hole other picture shows defects in material which will result in fraying after a few more washings.
Eddie Bauer doesn't mind taking your money but offers no way to cancel. Less than 5 minutes of ordering I realized I ordered the wrong color. On the site there is no option to cancel. I sent an email as the site suggests for the cancel and no one responded to me. I called the number and even though it was literally 5 minutes since I placed the wrong order they said it was impossible to cancel or change the order for me since it was being processed. In only 5 minutes? I will not order from them again. It's just not worth it when there are many companies out there that don't mind working with there customers. Never again
Ordered a jacket online that was in stock in 11/2023. I live in Seattle not some difficult place to deliver to. For the last three weeks everyday I get an update that today is the day it will be delivered. Never arrives. It is near impossible to actually speak to anyone who can actually sort this out. Eddie Bauer, UPS, and USPS all have a hand in the delivery. I called a store and the guy said that they get calls all day long with similar problems. They cannot assist. Doesn't bode well for them if they are getting calls all day long and this is only one store. My last resort is to contact my cc people and tell them that the charge is bad. Maybe that will get someone attention. Just pathetic. Thankfully it is not a gift and something that I can get along without.
Purchased pair jeans approximately 30 days ago they split buy the back pocket. So I called the Wilkes barre store where I purchased them. Talked a person name of supposed to be manager hard to believe she's a manager. We don't do returns unless it's Zipper doesn't work. I said it was a default in the fabric. She said can't return unless it falls under one of our defects. So I said tell me what the defects are. No clue! Then she hung up. Canceling my credit card. Awful policy's.
I've been looking at their high priced items but I decide to wait for a holiday or other moment when stores cut down the prices.
What Eddie Bawer does is increases the original price so that the usual price appears as a sale price.
Boo! Boo!
