Excessive customs charges
Excessive customs charges. I bought a 40-euro shirt and they charged me 31 euros in customs. It's a complete scam. Order #128861adenas. No one answers my complaint.

Hi,
I’m sorry to hear that the import duties and taxes came as a surprise. When ordering from overseas, customers may be charged fees by their country’s customs authorities.
For more details, please take a look at our shipping information page here:
https://runawaythelabel.com/pages/shipping-returns
As stated there, Runaway The Label isn’t able to cover any import duties or taxes, as these charges are set and collected by your local Customs office. Unfortunately, we have no control over these fees.
Because these costs vary by location, we recommend contacting your Customs Office directly for specific information about any charges you may incur.
Thank you for your understanding and feedback.
Kindest regards,
Runaway The Label
The men’s shirt have poor fit for those under 6ft, refund is instore credit only
I purchased a shirt and have been disappointed every step of the way. I am 5’10’’ and 155lbs. I purchased an XS shirt and it falls down past my thighs. I like the oversized fit but this looks like a dress on me. Upon trying to return the shirt I found they only do refunds for instore credit, so I guess I can buy another shirt that doesn’t fit me…. Horrible experience. I will not be shopping here again.

They won't help, not the real deal. False brand.
Customer Service responds but blatantly ignores the content in the email, I have had issues getting actual responses from anyone at the company. I have tried everything - such poor service from what seemed like a luxury brand, so disappointing and frustrating when you just need some help. *Edit: After emailing daily, and chatting daily, I finally got a response and a resolution. Their customer service is subpar in comparison to their brand. Products are also lacking quality in comparison to the price. Overall, I would not recommend. If you must buy from their brand I would suggest getting it from Revolve instead as their service and returns is 10/10 you won't have to deal with the same frustrations I did.

Extremely disappointed !!
Extremely disappointed with the service! A product I ordered is terrible quality and fabric! Let alone the quality of the product being so poor, they have been extremely unhelpful in resolving the issue with either a return or replacement item. To pay $150 for a product that is far from acceptable is not okay.

Complex returns, no follow up, no credit, arrogant staff.
Followed all of their complicated return processes, submitted through the portal, paid for my return shipping, returned goods to their facility 5th August and they havent even given me credit or notice of return. Ive followed up with their team multiple times to follow up on their own processes - it's really disgusting service and an insult to their customers. Please do not buy from here it's a faff around, waste of money for average goods, bad sizing and no refunds or even promised credit. You basically have to beg them for the bare minimum.

Shocking online site
Shocking online site. They didn’t post my order out for 11 days! I had ordered it for an event. They don’t have refunds either so now I have a credit. They also were out of something they had advertised and just refunded me after the rest was delivered. Really awful service. Sadly, I have to order with them again to use up my credit.

This company doesn’t even deserve 1…
This company doesn’t even deserve 1 star, if I could give minus stars, I would.
Myself and three other bridesmaids ordered brand new $159 Gia dresses from the bridesmaid collection, and the quality was downright embarrassing. The second-hand dress one of my friends bought of the same dress, made the “brand new” ones look like they came from a bargain bin. These dresses were flimsy, cheap, and horribly made. I’ve seen better quality from Shein at the bottom of a clearance rack in Kmart.
When we complained, we were insulted with the claim that the new material was “better quality” than the old. What a joke. The fabric felt like stiff plastic, the seams stuck out in weird, pointy lumps, and instead of owning up to their shoddy workmanship, they actually blamed our bodies for “not fitting them properly.”
We requested a refund for our unworn dresses (tags still attached), but Mia was rude, dismissive, and has since ghosted us, ignoring four emails. Now, with less than a month until the wedding, we’ve had to waste even more money replacing these worthless rags.
This business sells overpriced garbage, lies about quality, and treats customers like a nuisance the second they’ve got your money. The lack of professionalism is disgusting. Avoid this company like the plague .. unless you enjoy throwing your cash away on trash and being treated with total contempt.

Slow slow slow
Slow slow slow- they pack slow and send slow- it took 10 workings days just to have my order shipped! I have given them 3 chances and I wont be back. Wrong dresses sent, took money and didn't have the dresses and lastly it states express delivery but doesn't state it takes two weeks to pack it.

Low quality operations and clothing fits
I'm really disappointed by the customer experience from this brand. Honestly, I don’t understand how they have repeat customers.
I measured myself carefully using a tailor’s tape and compared the results against their size charts before ordering. Despite this, only one of the three items I purchased fit — and even that was too big. The other two didn’t match the size chart at all, especially around the waist, and couldn’t be done up properly.
To make matters worse, Runaway’s support team refused to offer a size exchange or credit on one of the items, claiming it was a final sale. But I ordered it in good faith based on the size chart they provided — which clearly doesn't reflect the actual fit. This kind of refusal is not only unfair for an online retailer, it falls short of what should be standard practice under consumer law. I wasn’t even asking for a refund — I just wanted to wear the item I paid for.
The other two items were only eligible for store credit, and no refunds, which adds to the frustration — especially since these terms are buried in their website. Now that I know their sizing is unreliable, how am I supposed to confidently place another order? And with return shipping costs falling on the customer, I'm effectively losing money every time their products don’t fit — which seems highly likely based on this experience.
Overall, it feels like the people running this business have little regard for product quality, transparency, or customer satisfaction. I would strongly recommend shopping with one of the many other online retailers who treat their customers fairly and stand behind what they sell.

Gorgeous clothes, amazing service
I recently ordered from Runaway The Label for my Europe trip and couldn’t be happier! Their customer service team was incredibly responsive and helpful, quickly sorting out my queries. The dispatch and delivery were impressively fast – perfect when you’re on a tight schedule.
The clothes are absolutely gorgeous – stylish, flattering, and made from really pleasant fabrics that feel great to wear.
One thing to keep in mind: they don’t offer refunds, only store credit. So if you need to exchange a size or style, allow some extra time for the return to be processed. Otherwise, you might end up with a fair bit of credit like me:)
All in all, highly recommend – just read the returns policy before ordering. Will definitely be shopping with them again!

Absolute scam of a company
Absolute scam of a company. They bury the fine print of no refunds deep in their checkout flow, which is highly deceitful and unacceptable for an Australian company that’s subject to more stringent consumer protection standards than a US one. Their clothes are HORRIBLE quality and look way cheaper and misleading than they do online, which doesn’t justify the premium price point similar to Revolve which actually has great quality clothes. Highly recommend filing a credit card dispute under the code “I was charged a higher amount than expected” and submitting evidence of their checkout flow fine print and undisclosed return shipping fee that’s $40+ USD for polyester.

DO NOT BUY NO REFUNDS AND YOU PAY CRAZY EXPENSIVE SHIPPING!!
Not even bothering to attempt to return the dress I bought that doesn’t fit. They want $46 of the $189 I spent for me to ship it back ONLY to get a store credit. I will sell the dress on PoshMark to recoup more money than I would get with this company. I’ve never run into a retailer who doesn’t offer refunds and return labels included. BEWARE of this website!!!!!
