The store was very clean and organized. One of the associates, Aaron, helped me find exactly what I was looking for and was very helpful and friendly. If his professionalism is any indication of how the rest of the staff at that store operates, I will definitely be coming back! read more

Aaron did a great job for me today! I was really needed help with a purchase, and he was very professional and knowledgeable. Zara is fortunate to have such a valuable employee. He deserves a raise! read more

Went to this Zara store at the UTC Westfield mall. It's convenient location if you want to visit multiple brands. It has a good selection for women, kids, and men's clothing. Good prices although sometimes the quality isn't great. Service is hit or miss and some employees are indeed dismissive as other reviews mention. read more

Literally the worst customer service I have ever encountered at a retail establishment. Asked for a garment bag - they didn't have them which was fine, but then I was supposed to walk around the mall with clothes on a hanger in other stores? . I then asked for a bag and she shoved the clothes into a tiny bag meant for cologne. I bought a beautiful skirt and a top. She didn't say anything rude. It was 100% her negative energy and doing the LEAST amount of effort won't be back. read more

Zara has lost my business. I spent thousands this Christmas at this store for gifts. My son in law tried to exchange a shirt that was to small and because it's over 30 days from purchase the won't allow even an exchange. Every other company extends 30 days from Christmas but not Zara. Why even give out a gift receipt if this is your policy. The staff was very rude. The manager red short hair even would not give her name and said it company policy. Zara your loss now. Never will I return back to your store. read more

I am honestly shocked at the behavior of the girl who was on her phone yesterday (behind the counter kneeling). She suddenly popped up out of nowhere and said, "Yes?" with an attitude. She was irritated to be working. I was at the UTC Zara to return items from an online order. Her demeanor was so rude. From start to finish, she was there in a MOOD. It's terrible customer service. I asked her for directions to my next store....do I go left or right out of here? She replies "You can use your maps". All with an attitude. When it looked like all items had been scanned, I stood there waiting and she rudely says, "um, you're done". I said "Oh, what about a receipt?" and she goes, "You can find it online." I had to wait for a confirmation of the return email while at the mall because who knows!? I asked for her name at the end and she says rudely, "I don't have to give it to you". Everything about the conversation was hostile. I started to walk away and the woman waiting next chimes in, "I am with you! I have been listening to this interaction and she's so incredibly rude". I proceeded to find the manager, Brian, on my way out of the store and I relayed how my transaction went with this employee. No one seems to be held accountable. Hopefully, Brian documented the complaint and took action. Zara needs to really vet its employees and train them on customer service. Based on the 1.5 star review average on here, I would be really looking into how to make the customers happier. I never take the time to write a review of anything because generally, life is great. I am easy-going but this employee (about age 21 female) was awful. Zara...figure it out!! read more

Aaron was a huge help when it came to finding the jacket I wanted. He even went to the stock room across the store to get me two sizes just incase my original size suggestion didn't fit. THANKS AARON! #THEGOAT read more

Horrible, do not waste your $. Bought 3 items for daughter for Christmas in Dec. Only one didn't fit. Never worn, Tags, receipt and they won't exchange, credit or refund. It was a Christmas present. Every other store extends their return policy during Christmas. Tried Jan. 10th. !!!Strict 30 day policy. Even proving out of town for Christmas. Manager girl, she was rude and wasted my time. Too many other places to shop. This store has poor reviews and will be closing. DO NOT SHOP HERE-warning read more

I'm not surprised to see so many 1 star reviews for this store. Since the items I was looking for are not available in stores, the sale person offered to help place the order online to be picked up from the store so I paid at the store with my CC. Then I waited for more than 3 weeks but the items only showed as shipped but never arrived at the store. I called customer service and they said the items not available so they cancelled the order. Since I did not receive the refund so I called customer service again and they told me to go to the store since it's the most simple way that the store would initiate the refund. So I went to the store talking to the manager and she said that the refund cannot be done since there no items to return, and told me to call online customer service. I called customer service again the next day and was told to check my email for instructions. I never received any emails regarding my refund only advertising. I finally give up and dispute the charge with my American Express CC. Very BAD experience with ZARA customer service and looks like it's so common with others as well. read more

Aiden helped me out at Zara in the men section. He was really helpful in finding me everything I need. Great customer service!!

Why can you see everyone in the changing rooms because of the angle of the mirror... The clothes feel like faster fashion business casual. Vibe is not bad tho read more

Awesome materials and style . I always go to this store. Very stylish. Easy checkout and lots of selections to choose for.

I drive from Temecula to shop at this store. I purchased items and did not get a receipt nor the cashier didn't scan my app like I had asked. I only found out when I was trying to exchange my son's jeans and it was not saved on the app or I was given a copy. All I wanted was to exchange it for a larger size!! I was told to call customer service and they can give me a code to do the return. I was on the phone for 30min and the guy on the phone couldn't find my receipt even when I gave him the card information and date I purchased the items. He couldn't find it! I finally hung up the phone and left the store without exchanging the jeans. It's crazy how with all the technology, your registers can't find a copy of the receipt through the purchase card?! Horrible customer service and horrible return/exchange policy! I'll take my losses and will not shop here again! read more

Why on Earth you do not open your fitting rooms? I've stopped by on 4 separate occasions and fittings rooms are closed. Weekday, weekend. Morning, evenings. Why do you even have fitting rooms if they are closed? Last time I was there over the weekend during middle of the day. I literally asked an associate what's going on and he only smiled and said "it is because of the overflow"... but what does that even mean? I guess Mission Valley Zara it is and what's up with this never ending checkout line? Only one register opened on the first floor... 40 mins wait to check out.. and once you get there a girl calls for "returns" then "purchases". I swear she skipped purchases over 3 times until myself and other visitors start making jokes that it was easier to return items than to buy them at this location read more

Leaving a review just for fun and out of frustration. The fact that all Zara locations have almost negative stars just shows how little the brand cares. Poorly made, fast fashion. Their employees move at a snails pace. Is everyone high here? Their return policies are also horrible! I would rather run myself into a wall than come back!!!!!!! read more

Agree with the other reviewers that this has to be the worst Zara globally. While I like their clothes, the customer service is appalling. Would recommend going elsewhere. read more

That photo of the dressing room is of Aritzia, not Zara. My bad. Zara has nowhere for you to sit by the dressing room. Obviously. read more

Zara at fashion Valley deserve zero stars, I regret to spend my money and that shit store employees feel they own the business customer service and managers horrible treating you poorly and badly . I spend lots on money every month and for returning one shirt that is repaired apart I buy weekend ago I have my receipt they don't want exchange. I Don't want my money back. I want exchange for a better top. They kick me out of the store because I stand up for my rights . Poorly customer service, the same as the close poorly quality. read more

Is there a reason why the employees are urgency averse? It's like they make an active attempt to move at the slowest possible pace. It's utterly painful. I don't even understand how it's possible. I feel like the employees are all given a heavy sedative at the start of their shifts. read more

10/10 experience here at the UTC Zara - Pleasantly suprised While I am obsessed with the clothing.. I usually I don't have the best shopping experience here at UTC Zara, even though it is the bigger store compared to the one Fashion Valley. This shopping experience is very important to me as do all my clothes shopping in the store these days and want to feel respected as a long time customer. Gianna in the women's section did a FANTASTIC job of taking care of me and answering all my questions today, I had such a great time talking with her and she even made some really great clothing suggestions that I loved - I ended up getting those too!! She definitely turned my opinions about the UTC Zara around and am definitely looking forward to my next visit here when I get payed :) read more

Love Zara! They refresh their clothing every month. The store has great style and many kind of clothing, really good value! Had great shopping experience read more

I'd give it 0 stars if I could. 40 minutes to checkout is insane. Hire people dude. In Florida there are workers on every floor and checkout is painless. The Zara at UTC truly makes the case for closing retail stores and moving completely online. They are also processing hundreds of returns a day, which is ridiculous. Returns should not take priority over customers actually shopping in the store. Smh. Would not recommend. read more

I just visited the UTC La Jolla location and as a customer witnessed the most upmost professionalism from Ana Sophia. She was alternating between return and purchase transactions and was met by unnecessary hostility from a customer as it was not their turn to approach the register. She kindly explained the current system and maintained her composure and professionalism as the customer began to raise his voice at her. I was lucky enough to have Ana Sophia ring up my transaction for me and she was nothing but pleasant! read more

The store is a bit of a mess with clothes everywhere and it's pretty disorganized. The fitting rooms are still not open, which is weird because other stores allow shoppers to use the fitting rooms. It might look cute on the rack, but when you buy it and try it on, it really isn't worth $50 lol. Tip: You can go up to the men's department to make purchases and there is very little wait time. read more

The line here is always forced and super slow! If I didn't need to do an online return! I would never come! I've been waiting for more than 30-35 mins and there still are 6 people ahead of me!!' This is insane! I won't be buying online nor In store Til this is rectified! read more

Zara - Super long like and super long wait after 35 mins in line. - Men's Clothing Near Me - San Diego, California

This store looks like it's been robbed, everything is on the floor the the customer service is horrific. Two different lines for purchases and returns , zero signs telling you which line is which. Apparently they make announcements every 10 mins, that doesn't help when you've been waiting and get to the front of the wrong line. Absolutely ridiculous! read more

Zara - You can't shop here because everything is on the floor and beyond disorganized. - Men's Clothing Near Me - San Diego, California

Customer service is terrible. So many people working, but no one is really working. Upstairs registers are always closed, which means the main register has a line as long as an attraction ride. They want returns and purchases separate, and don't care if you're waiting 20-30 minutes in the return line. The employees are disrespectful and never acknowledge or apologize for a negative situation. Keep in mind- I shop here maybe twice a year and always have a crappy experience. I'm officially done. read more

Zara is the worst. Do NOT shop here - it's not worth it. The customer service is AWFUL. They do not care. I got charged for something that I did not buy, and I called everyone and they said there is nothing they can do. They can't even give me a refund! It was $107. I can't afford that, and I spent hours on the phone with people fighting for a refund and got NOTHING. Do not shop here - it is not worth it. read more

Terrible customer experience! Zara truly does not care about their customers. I always experience terrible customer service when I shop at this location. read more

Try waiting on 25 min lines to try on clothes then another 30 minutes to buy or return anything. Their return policy is aweful. If you don't have the original receipt, only a photo, they won't do a return or exchange. Worst store to shop in, cheap-Ish clothes but not worth the wait. read more

I recently found myself shopping at UTC for the first time in ages. I began wandering around and looking in stores that were new to me. Zara is one of those stores. I checked my handy Yelp app and was shocked with the flood of negative reviews so I wanted to check it out to form my own opinion. Zara is a trendy store with moderately priced mens and womens clothing. The clothing is geared towards 20-30 somethings who are lean and whimsical. I did manage to find a few things to try on and the sizes run small. My girlfriend bought some shoes and a top, I passed but will definitely return in the future, regardless of the the wave of 1 star reviews. read more

I decided to give this place a second chance. The customer service here is disgustingly poor. The associates don't help, when asking a question they act as if you are bothering them or simply just ignore the fact that you're there. If you hate your job that much why are you working there? They kill the overall experience of shopping here. I went to return a shirt that had an issue with the stitching and they said I couldn't return it due to the tags being off of it. I had the receipt for it but they still couldn't even exchange it? Where in the policy that it states this? When I asked for a shoe size the guy said they had none in stock but online it said they had them. So which one is it? They just don't care? treat customers poorly? Or should I believe you're correct and don't have it in stock? You tell me... Check this store and see for yourself. These 1-star reviews are on point. read more

Worst customer service ever! Do not recommend this place. Very rude employees that work in fitting zone area.

I really HATE the Zara store at UTC!!! The line is always soooo long, it drives me crazy. They don't have enough registers and never enough employees to handle the sales and returns in a timely manner. The staff is always rude and love to act like whatever your asking is not their job! When you do a return they have to hang up every piece & put a security alarm on as you do your return, which slows down the process to a stand still snail pace. It is very apparent that customer service is not Zara's priority concern ! For such a large company they should really be better organized so they don't annoy their customer so much that they feel the need to post it ! P.S. I'm not the only one by looking at the other reviews ! Get a clue Zara and take a few pointer from Nordstroms !! read more

Long wait for the line, on top of this the cashier is briskly taking their time. Obviously I wouldn't expect a record breaking check out speed but any sense of urgency here seems to not exist. Clothing here is nice but the shopping experience is bleak. read more

Their stuff is ok but a check out line with more than 30 people in line? Give me a break. Get some cashiers or have mobile check out. read more

Awful Experience. Came in to take off a sensor from the clothing and workers acted very rude claiming we stole the clothing, we showed the receipt and still denied that we bought it. Took our Clothes and never gave out money back. Store Manager is Rude! NEVER COME HERE!!!! read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Location doesn't matter. Their policies are horrible. In one experience I tried to exchange a dress for a smaller size. Went online and found a location that said they had my size in store. Drove 40 minutes with my toddler to that location. The only one they had in my size was on a mannequin and they refused to take it off the mannequin so I could purchase it!! I was TRYING to spend money! Another time I was 3 days outside their bogus 30 day return policy. I had tried to get there sooner but had sick kids at home. They refused to even give me an in store credit! I will never spend money with this company again. Beyond ridiculous! Would give 0 stars of it was an option. read more

On a weekday afternoon I have been standing in line for 30 minutes. This isn't something new, it has been like this for months. If you are going to be one of the last stores to open your dressing rooms which inevitably means more returns, the get more help or re-evaluate your check out process for efficiency ! I ended up completing my return but left my potential purchase at the counter because I don't want to take the chance of having to return again. read more
