I went to the Yorkdale Toronto location to have my measurements done and ordered a set of tuxedos for my upcoming wedding. After I received the order, I realized that it was made too small for me. The chest was overly tight, you can crease running across my back, the lapels are popping up, pants waist was overly tight and I can barely breath and the pants pocket lines are popping up as well. I went to the showroom immediately for a fitting appointment and the person that helped me told me to not worry about it as the tailor can fix it. I stated that my wedding was coming up and I need it done as quickly as possible. This first appointment was on June 30. No one called or emailed me over the next 2 weeks to pick up the tux and I had to call in on July 14 to check on the status and that was how I found out that it was available for pick up. So, I went in as soon as I could on July 15. I was told on the phone that no appointment was needed and walk in was fine, so I did. I tried on the "altered" tux when I went in person, and I felt like nothing was really done to it and it was still super tight. I asked for a service associate to help me and if they can fix the issue, the associate told me that they were all busy and I needed to book an appointment to come back the next day. Again, I complied and came back on July 16. On July 16, the tailor was there, so I put on the tux and the tailor said he could fix it and it would take another week. I booked another appointment and came back on July 22nd, again it was too tight. At this point, I knew it won't work and I asked the associate if they can remake it and fast ship it to make it in time for my wedding in mid- August. The associate (the same person that helped me on 15th & 16th of July) told me that he wouldn't be able to tell me and he needs to check with his manager who called in sick that day. He asked me to take the tux home and use it as a backup in case I can't find another set in time of the wedding and Indochino wouldn't need it back ever and they can either make me a new one or issue me a store credit. He also stated that Indochino doesn't do refund. On July 22, the manager did call me and told me to come in for measurement again so they can make me a new one. I wanted to come in on July 23, but there was no appointment available so I had to come in on July 24. On July 24th, I went without my tux thinking they are just measuring me again. The manager insisted that I needed to bring the old tux back and without it he won't order me a new set. It was extremely inconsistent with what I was told on the phone. The associate that helped me on 15th & 16th was also there at the store, I told the manager to just ask his associate of how unfit the tux is but the manager wouldn't bring the associate over and kept on insisting to see me in the suits in person. He also said that he cannot guarantee that the new suits will make it in time. We asked nicely for a refund and the manager said he will need to ask the Corporate and he cannot promise anything. When I described the issue, the manager told me that I shouldn't be standing too straight so the crease wouldn't be showing. What kind of advice is that???
I find Indochino's practice extremely unprofessional. The people literally wasted 2 months of my time and now I have nothing to wear for my wedding. Each time I had to come in during the week, I had to take time off work. They really do not appreciate their customers and their customers' time. They made me go in 5 separate times and wanted me to come back 1 more time with the tux. And god knows how many more times after if a new set was made. Between the associates and the manager, there was no consistent messaging. Had Indochino just admitted that they couldn't fix it early on, I wouldn't need to scramble to look for a new set now and I would've just accepted the store credit ore remake. Even when I raise the concern and the urgency of the matter, the staff simply didn't care which is odd for a business that heavily advertises for wedding attires. At this point, I would like to ask for a full refund and Indochino should review the operational guidelines of its showroom staff. For suits that are terribly made, a refund should be given to its future customers without questions asked. read more
