Misleading advertising

I have made an online order, with Hollister advertising "free shipping" for orders higher than 100$. To my surprise, when receiving the package, UPS charged me with 40$ "release fee" which is is a handling fee that was indeed paid by me.
I wrote to Hollister and demanded the 40$ back, based on their advertised statements that the price includes shipping and handling.
My request was wrongfully denied.
Never buying there again!!

Quality not what it used to be, clothes don't last

I love Hollister but unfortunately the quality seems to have nosedived recently. I bought a jumper dress a couple of months ago and have only washed it a few times, never tumble dried, etc, and yet it's completely bobbled already. I also had a lot of their dresses with shorts in the summer and they all have pulls and are falling apart, despite only one summer of wear. Places like shein and primark are better quality. Won't be ordering again unless they fix the quality. Expensive and rubbish quality

Online order for Ireland

Ordered a top from Hollister, thought everything was going great. But i was wrong. I live in ireland and i thought shipping would be fine, but it wasn't. It was shipped to Ireland, but it says Hollister did not provide my eircode to UPS. And i cannot change the shipping address because the sender has restricted it. I am absolutely fuming and unhappy with this. I'm not receiving my order and i cannot return it and get a refund because I don't even have the package! It's utterly ridiculous. I can't ring customer support either, it just hangs up on me immediately. If i could give a zero I would.

Delivery always in time

I live in Greece and my deliveries come always within 4-5 days. The return process is also very easy. Most of the clothes are good quality.

Issue with delayed order

I placed an order on 27th December 2024 to be delivered to the store for collection, with an expected arrival date of 8th January 2025. It’s now 12th January, and the order still hasn’t arrived.

I’ve been to the store, but no one could help or provide an update. This has been really frustrating as I expected better service.

Can you let me know what’s happening with my order and how this will be resolved?

Ordered for delivery to Ireland

Ordered for delivery to Ireland

Will not nor would I recommend anyone to purchase from Hollister.

Ridiculous slow shipping. Stupid return policy. Ordered 27/12/24 received 8/1/25 and only have until 31/1/25 to return.

When I contacted on WhatsApp the agent said they would waive the fee for return (thank you) so I thought great send the shirt back and order smaller size for in store collection when I’m in Dublin issue resolved I THOUGHT

in store collection said ready for 15/1/25 as I planned to travel to Dublin weekend after.
To my surprise when I made payment and order confirmation was sent then said estimated delivery 21/1/25 which is of no use to me

Contacted them within 15 mins of placing the order to cancel as the date didn’t suit me. The agent then proceeded to lie and say the order was on the way to store and couldn’t cancel but can put on a request and wouldn’t be refunded till the item arrived in the store.

Stay well clear of their online site

I ordered a hoodie on December 3rd which never showed up and no one contacted me. I had to reach out constantly to get update. By the time they did inform me hoodie was unable to be delivered it was now out of stock! How is it possible to be out of stock from when I originally ordered it. Please explain that crap! Hollister customer service representative refunded me my money and told me I had to go back on-line and keep rechecking to see when hoodie was back in stock and reorder which I did. They use ontrack.com for delivery and they are completely incompetent and useless. On track could not find house and I had to call hollister a second time to see about package and they went in circles stating they could do nothing because package was out to be delivered. Customer service stated I’d have to wait till I was noticed by ontrack package that they aren’t able to delivery package again. I work hard for my money and as proud as hollisiter seems to be based on their high prices I expect so much better when giving them my money!!! Such a disservice to the customers and I’m beyond disappointed. I will no longer shop at Hollister as there are plenty of other stores to shop.

Terrible customer service

Had my order shipped out for two months but FedEx couldn’t find my address. Called 6 times to change the shipping address because FedEx told me to and they never did. Then canceled my order and told me they couldn’t reship it because items were out of stock and never got my items

Worst experience during the holidays

If I could give them a zero I would! They have the worst customer service especially on the phone. I was told that after purchasing an online order and them taking my money out of my account that I would have to wait however long to get a refund even though they aren’t sure if the merchandise will ever reach the store! Never again!

Added to my existing order

I made an order and realised I'd missed an item from the order. I would have had to pay £5 delivery to make another order. I messaged Hollister through their WhatsApp customer contact service and the item was added to my existing order so that I didn't get a charge. Quick, easy and really well done. Thank you

Total scam

Total scam. Actual fraud.
I have ordered twice from Hollister online. There are online deals; I order and say I will pick up at a store. Hollister emails that the item is not available, then I go to the store and it is there and available and twice the price. This is actual fraud.

We received exemplary service from Eric Ford at Hollister. When our shipment arrived late he offered to reimburse the shipping cost and refunded it in a timely manner. Our follow ups with Adonis and Julius Rey confirmed the awesome service and investigation

Manager hung up on me

I had a return in the store at Mall St. Matthews. The cashier charged me for the item I returned instead of refunding. I found the error later that evening and called the Store #30318. I spoke with Nicole W. -and I she did not care that I would have to come back to mall during the Christmas season and fix the problem. Then she told me I’d need to do it within a certain time frame. She was unapologetic. She did not care that I was inconvenienced. I guess she didn’t like me asking questions so she hung up on me. Actually hung up on me. I’ve never had someone hang up on me. I called back and they wouldn’t answer the phone for 10 min. Finally a young man answered who was much nicer, but did not know the general managers name. He told me he thought Nicole was a great manager which I didn’t think was pertinent to the conversation or the matter at hand. A little caring goes a long way. Or to ask my name and make sure I was taken care of or to help call customer service. None of that was offered.

delay after delay after delay

Ordered on 12/2. Received email saying they are delayed on 12/9. Shipped Fedex should have received 12/12, and currently 12/14 and package not moving. Reached out to their customer support via chat and they blamed black Friday, cyber Monday. Well every other retailer seems to not have this problem, so it is definitely an internal issue. Maybe ensure proper staffing in shipping and receiving and choose a more reliable carrier during busy session. Everyone knows FedEx can't handle volume. Never again.

Hollister Customer

A pair of track pants purchased at Hollister ripped in several places on the inner leg seams. Because I am a seamstress, I was able to fix them. This was easier than returning them to the store because of the distance. I wrote to Hollister about this experience. I provided ALL the information that was requested, via several emails, and have still not gotten any positive response. In fact, when I answered an email, each time I received a response from a different person. I am disappointed they do not stand behind their products.

Outstanding employee - Lei!

I ordered the Dusty Blue, half zip sweatshirt as a Christmas gift for my Granddaughter. I ordered it November 29, 2024. My problem is with fedex. The tracking said will be delivered 12/5. It is now 12/11, no sweatshirt, no update on tracking. They told me the only info they have is that it should be delivered, or it may be lost. I called Hollister. The employee I dealt with, Lei, was the kindest employee I have dealt with this holiday season. He looked into the shipping info, agreed that it does not say when or if it will be delivered. Lei quickly ordered a replacement, express mail, so I will receive it in Time from Christmas! Lei represents Hollister in the best way! Thank you!
