I received a sweater as a birthday gift. New with tags, but has a small hole so is defective. I called to ask for a replacement and was told no, I had to return it and couldn't do an even exchange. Talbots said they'd send me a prepaid shipping label, and that I couldn't go into a store to handle. About 5-6 weeks later I called again since I hadn't gotten a return label. They said it had been sent and to wait.
Didn't receive it and tried going into a store, but they said they couldn't help.
I called again much later, and they said the return label was sent to the person who gave me the gift, and that they could not do anything to resolve. She gave me a case # and escalated it for a call back, but Talbots didn't contact me. Terrible customer service, huge waste of time. I won't ever shop there again. read more
