I shopped in this store about a week ago needing some clothes for a business trip. They did not have the colors/styles of shirts in my size in the store and offered to have them shipped to my home address. I received the package a week later, only the package did not have the 3 shirts I purchased. Instead it had only one shirt and that in a different color/style than I had selected. The packing list clearly listed the 3 shirts I purchased.
I called the store and explained the situation that my shipment was incorrect. The first person to help me graciously tracked the package and let me know it had been delivered. I said I realized that because I had opened it and it contained the wrong order.
After several minutes of her not being able to figure out a solution, I asked if I could just cancel the order and get a refund. This proved to be a challenge because I paid for part of the order with a visa gift card. Since I used the entire amount of the gift card, I got rid of it when I got home. I paid the balance with my personal debit. The amount of the refund was greater than the amount I paid on my personal card. Apparently, company policy doesn't allow them to put more back on my personal card than they charged to the account, and I no longer have the gift card. She couldn't figure out how to do this and said her manager would be in within 2 hours and she would have her give me a call.
Well, I waited until 9 pm, and I did not get a call. So, this morning, I called them shortly after they opened and got the manager. She said they had been "real busy" the previous day and she couldn't find any time out of her 8 hour shift to call me. She had a suggestion of what I could do to get the gift card reactivated and sent to me. First, she gave me the wrong contact info. Next, I needed the card number to be able to contact the the card company's customer service. She couldn't provide the entire number so she gave me the 800 number for MW customer service. I called several times and each time they were "experiencing high call volumes".
I finally got fed up with that and tried their chat support and got someone who somewhat helped me, but I won't have an answer until Tuesday.
I found this whole situation frustrating that they did not live up to the statement on their website, "For over 40 years we've been helping men like the way they look. We've been able to make good on that promise thanks to the world class customer service delivered each and every day by our dedicated employees. Your satisfaction is the highest priority at the Men's Wearhouse."
I don't honestly think they cared one bit about my satisfaction and the issue is still unresolved. I can't believe a company like this doesn't have the ability to resolve an issue like this quickly. I am very dissatisfied with the whole experience and they have given me no reason to shop at MW again in the future. I can overlook a mistake with the wrong shipment. Stuff happens. What I find hard to believe is the lack of effort and urgency to resolve this situation for me. Pathetic is the best word I can use to describe my experience with this store.
p.s. I only rated this as a 1 star because I had to do that at a minimum. It would be a 0 star rating if they allowed that choice. read more
