If it is possible for a company to suck worse than Bills Khakis, I am at a loss to know how. Where to begin...
Your first clue about this online retailer, should be that Bill is too cheap to pay for an apostrophe. It's BILLS Khakis, not Bill's, and this oversight, if indeed it's attributable to that, should be a hint to you about what to expect. Buy a pair of pants from Bills-with-no-apostrophe, and there's a good chance you'll have to return them, because too much of the merchandise is mismarked. Twice, I ordered something from Bills, and what arrived was nowhere near the size I requested. I am only 5' 7.5", but the pants I got with (allegedly) a 29" inseam were made, apparently, for someone about 6' 2". That would have been fine--mistakes occur--EXCEPT...when I called Bills to alert them to this problem, I got a lot of run-around from a flunkie who said that he didn't want to "jump to conclusions", but I could return the item for a refund from which the cost of the shipping label would be deducted. (Nice scam, huh? Purchase something that is mismarked, then pay for someone else's mistake!) Well, here's the thing about jumping to conclusions: You may CONCLUDE that I have owned a great many pair of pants in my lifetime, Mr. Ermentrout, so that if I tell you that a pair of pants doesn't fit because they are mismarked...they don't fit because they are mismarked. Period and full stop.
The bottom line is, if you order from this terrible company, where the consumer is always wrong and Customer Service is treated like a contradiction in terms, you will wait more than a month to get your money back when you return their crap. You'll be told that the promise to process returns in "10 - 14 days" is merely "an average", whatever the hell that means. AAAAAND...get this!...if you are lucky enough to have been offered some sort of discount, heed Eric S.'s warning and note that the chances are good that there will be something stupid like a ten-minute window--I exaggerate, but not by much--in which to use it, and that all sorts of restrictions (e.g., "offer not valid on days ending in Y") will apply. (EXAMPLE: In lieu of so-called "make-up flowers", Bills offered me a $25 discount code. Trouble was, it was offered on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, and expired the previous Sunday, the 28th!)
FAIL! On EVERY SINGLE level, at EVERY SINGLE turn, a big FAIL!!! read more
