The Net-A-Porter Group
reviews and complaints

I had a good experience ordering through net a porter but I will say I didn't have to return anything so I guess I can't fully comment on their customer service quality. I love the way they package orders as it makes it a delight to receive a package from them. I'd definitely order from them again, but if I was on the fence about a size I would prefer to go to a boutique in person to avoid the return hassle everyone seems to face.

Shopping at Net-A-Porter is like stepping into a world of luxury and style. While some customers have expressed concerns about customer service and product quality, my personal experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The carefully curated selection of designer fashion, beauty, and accessories is a dream for any fashion enthusiast. The packaging is exquisite, adding an extra touch of elegance to each delivery. Net-A-Porter truly offers a unique shopping experience that is worth exploring.

When I feel like splurging and shopping online net a porter is my go to destination. They have beautiful pieces by all the key designers and you can always find that perfect outfit for whatever occasion. I've had good luck in relation to their customer service so far so I'm pretty happy with them overall!

Being on a budget makes it hard to find cute things for my family to wear for my wedding. I was able to come across the sale section on net-a-porter and found a great selection of dresses and wedding dresses. Not only did it ease the budget burden, but they were great steals and ultimatley, everyone was happy with what they got!

I enlisted the help of my fiance for wedding dresss shipping and he helped me find net a porter. They have some really great styles. And my wedding dress as I wasn't sure which style, type, or look I wanted. After looking for a while, I was able to narrow down a coulple of options. I loved how much variety there was in the looks! Most important the dress actually looked like the one in the photos

The Gucci ankle boots I ordered from net-a-porter.com arrived in lightning speed... less than 4 days. And came in a pretty box and packaging. Unfortunately, they were a tad too large for my feet so I contacted them via telephone to start the return/exchange process. The gentleman I spoke with had such a lovely demeanor to him and he immediately put me at ease. The whole return/exchange process was easy peasy and I received my correct size boots in a jiffy! HIGHLYYYYYYYYY recommended over the other luxury online website ssense.com who is crap at customer service.

I have been shopping with net-a-porter for over 10years. My orders are shipped out of the UK into Spain. I have had nothing but excellent customer care, a speedy delivery and returns service - theres the odd delay sometimes when the sales are on but certainly nothing to keep me awake at night! It is a terrible shame that these review sites exist as the only people who post are those who have had what they consider to be a bad experience. They do not represent the overall majority of happy clients such as myself. Things go wrong sometimes, thats life. Why post it?

I have NEVER written a review about a website in my entire life but this site is great. Speaking on behalf of the fact ive tried to purchase designer/luxury items on other sites (including ssense.com) I give it a 5/5. I ordered a pair of shoes on sale and the shipping cost was free. I called a few days later on the number on the site to ask what day they would come in, the lady on the phone was the kindest person ive ever spoken too and the service was amazing. She told me they wouldn't get in until July 3rd, and i needed them for June 24. I was super upset and the woman on the phone could tell and she tried everything to help me and apologized many times and told me it must be a mistake because shipping usually doesnt take that long. I was super annoyed and figured they'd come in late but, they came in on the 23rd! Either she accidentally told me the wrong delivery date or she came through for me I was super happy. They came in perfect condition and Im very happy with my experience!

Here is my experience with NAP.
I decided to buy a present for my wife. So, I found what I was looking for on NAP Internet site. Since it was a gift I wanted them to send it to my work instead of home (not to ruin the surprise).
1. I place an order and received conformation.
2. I received another email from them several hours later saying that they are not able to verify address with my bank.
3. I called their customer service to find out what is going on with my order. I was told the same thing ? that they are not able to verify billing details with my bank. I explained that the card that I am using for the purchase is linked to the shipping address and there is all information in my bank. I fact I have been using this card for long time. I shipped to my work all the time and never had any issues regarding confirming billing details. So, I left my bank's phone number and I was told that they would call back.
4. Received call from NAP. Rep said that they will cancel the order because they do not trust the shipping address. I called my bank. They told me that the address was confirmed. I asked NAP rep for an explanation and all they could say that we do not trust. How is that possible? Card is mine, billing and shipping is confirmed with my bank through credit system, I provided all info to prove that it's me and they still cannot ship!? On NAP site it says that you can ship with a signature so I will sign for it and if I am not available they would leave a slip. Also, I could ask for delivery without confirmation so they would just drop package by the door. So they are not liable for what happens to package. Girl on the phone could not give me a good reason or explanation. She said it's finance department. They are the ones who make decisions. She also told me that it's my problem and I gave them address that they could not trust. Well, that's my address and that's why we have credit card system to prove that. I asked if I could talk to finance department do they can explain. She said that they do not talk to customers. WOW! NICE SERVICE!
5. Finally they just canceled my order without an explanation.
In summary I will just say that it was a complete waist of time placing order on NAP site. The surprise for my wife was ruined because I lost time going back and force with their "customer service" for no reason at all. Time has gone and even if I find replacement for my gift it would be too late. Very poor customer service. No explanation given. I shop a lot online and luxury goods are not exception, but I will never buy anything from Net-a-Porter again. I suggest you to think twice before placing order. Just stay away and find a good alternative.

This was my first time purchasing from Net-A-Porter, and it seriously left a lot to be desired with their customer service experience.

I placed an order for a few bottles of perfumes for a birthday gift from Net-A-Porter on Monday evening. I received a confirmation email and thought everything was in order before heading to bed. When I woke up and checked my credit card account, there was a reversal from Net-A-Porter - but no cancelation email. I called Net-A-Porter and was told it was canceled because I had the order sent to my mailbox instead of the address on my card. You would think that getting packages delivered to a secure mail center where someone could sign for the package and keep it safe for me would be ok, but Net-A-Porter just wants the package delivered to my house and left out in the open for anyone to take as they see fit. After a back and forth with their rep, they could do nothing, and they just told me to place a new order. Lo and behold, when I went back to place a new order, the items I wanted were sold out. I called back and was told they could not help and they would put me on a waiting list in case the items got restocked.

I proceeded to make a new order with alternative products from the same perfume line. An hour after the order was placed, I received an email saying that Net-A-Porter needed me to call my bank to get a transaction authorization code. I called Chase bank, they looked up my credit card transactions and said there was no code to give out. My bank said that Net-A-Porter could call to do a merchant verification if they needed to verify that I had more than enough funds on my credit card and whatever else they needed to verify. Net-A-Porter refused to call them. I had to go back and forth between Net-A-Porter and Chase so many times, finally a manager from Net-A-Porter explained that it's not actually a transaction authorization code but a code that Net-A-Porter had created and added onto the transaction as a way to verify its customers and transactions. I called Chase again and they found a 6 digit code. I provided the code to Net-A-Porter and they said that it'll take them 1-2 hours to verify and then send me an email with the UPS tracking information.

I waited all day and no email. I still had hope for my package to be sent out overnight for me to receive it within this week in time for the birthday party. After more than 5 hours, I still didn't hear back, so I called into Net-A-Porter and surprise they canceled my order again without any notification. What is the point of taking down my contact information if you're not going to contact me if (and I really wonder if there really was) any issue with the transaction? If it was a bad address like the first order, I could have easily provided a new shipping address. This time I had no idea why my order was canceled. Again I was offered a "sorry we can't do anything, please place a new order," but even these alternative selections I made were sold out. So now I sit and wait to see why my order was canceled after I jumped through hoop after hoop after hoop like a circus animal because of this one transaction that wasn't even over $1000!

I recently made a purchase from Net A Porter and unfortunately, the first delivery attempt was unsuccessful. I called the number on the UPS ticket and asked when the next delivery attempt would be, but unfortunately, I wouldn't be home to accept the package on that day. I asked if they could leave the package at the warehouse for me to retrieve it there, but was informed that I had to contact NAP due to their "signature" requirement upon delivery.

So, I reached out to NAP's customer service team and explained my situation. I let them know that I wouldn't be available to sign for the package on the next delivery attempt. The representative informed me that if I wasn't available, I could have my package re-directed. I was relieved to hear this and gave the rep my sister's information to have it delivered to her home. She works from home, so I knew she would be able to sign for it.

However, the next day, I received an email stating that my sister's address did not meet their "re-direct" criteria. I called NAP to explain everything and asked if I could try another "re-direct" address. The representative couldn't explain what the criteria was for a successful re-direct, so I didn't want to risk another denied email. I asked if my package could just stay at the UPS location and I could pick it up myself, but was told no.

I found this frustrating because I had already paid for my merchandise and just wanted to sign for it, whether it was at home or at the UPS store. It didn't make sense to me why it had to be delivered and signed for, especially since I was willing to go pick it up myself.

Overall, I was disappointed with my experience with NAP and don't think I'll be ordering from them again. It was frustrating to have my money dedicated immediately, but then have to jump through hoops just to receive my package. I hope they can improve their delivery and re-direct process in the future.

I usually don't write reviews, especially negative ones, but I have to say that the once glorious Net A Porter has really gone downhill since July of this year. The customer service used to be impeccable and the delivery was always expedited, but now all we're left with is packages sitting at the DHL dock for weeks while our cards are being charged. And when we finally get credited back, the exchange rate of the debit is not applied, but rather the one of the day. Instead of an apology or a credit, we get a rude reply telling us to contact our bank. It's not rocket science, folks - if you don't credit back fees with the same exchange rate applied at purchase, there will be a discrepancy. As a 10-year loyal customer of Net A Porter, I don't "need" the difference, but a courtesy email and an apology for the oversight would have been nice.

But that's not all - there are delayed deliveries, merchandise not arriving, merchandise missing from the box yet charges on the card are made, and damaged goods. And don't even get me started on the way they package hats - they're packaged in hat boxes, which causes them to dent. These issues have all happened within a span of just 5 months. It's really sad to see where we stand today, especially since the founder has left and Net A Porter is now part of a big corporation. These issues are not a fluke, but rather the reality of an amazing service going down the drain after a takeover.

I hate to leave, but luckily there are other options out there. If you're joining now, the service provided might be better than what we've experienced, but as a regular client of Net A Porter for 10 years, I can say that the difference in service, delivery, and customer service is not what it used to be. People should know what was and what is.

Be careful when dealing with Net-A-Porter. I've been a customer for years, but my recent experience with them was not good. I received a pair of boots that cost $1500, and they looked like they had been tried on and returned a few times. The right shoe had some small marks on it, and the suede on the edges was worn. The boots arrived unzipped, and the "belt" around the ankle was unsnapped and loose. The paper in the shoebox was crumpled. In short, the boots were not in new and perfect condition. They didn't fit me either, so I requested an online return. However, I was warned about returning shoes with unblemished soles, and I was worried that I would be blamed for something I didn't do. I contacted Customer Service, but all they told me was to send the boots back, and they would let me know when they received them.

I was disappointed with the way they treated me, and I decided to stop being a customer. I had to document everything to protect my rights, but I was surprised that a company would treat a loyal customer this way. However, I did eventually get a full refund, but only after I spoke to someone on the phone and made sure that I was on-record as having reported faulty goods received. I'm not sure if that affected my refund, but I would advise anyone thinking of buying shoes from Net-A-Porter to be cautious.

I've never had any issues with other goods from them, but these shoes were a disaster. When I was taking photos of the boots, I noticed that the heels had been heavily buffed, and there were ugly swirl marks on the sides. It was obvious that the boots had been returned in less-than-perfect condition before and polished up to be sent out again. It's terrible that a company would do this to their customers.

I recently shopped with Net-A-Porter and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with their overall service. Despite seeing negative feedback about their customer service, I had a fantastic experience. The shopping process was seamless and I received my purchases in a timely manner. Over the past few months, I have bought both full retail and sale items and each order was shipped out promptly. I even ordered two sizes of Isabel Marant slides during the sale and other sale pieces in separate orders due to low stock and pieces coming back into stock on my wishlist. Each order was shipped out the same day and arrived within 2-3 days via DHL with excellent service and tracking information.

The packaging was also impressive. Each item was packaged beautifully in tissue paper or a branded box if buying shoes, and sealed with a ribbon. The luxury service was evident, especially when paying for P&P if orders are below ?200. The presentation was top-notch and definitely added to the overall shopping experience.

I was hesitant about the returns process, as I hate returning items, but it was surprisingly easy. I managed to set up the returns process easily through the NAP website in my order history and each piece was collected by DHL the very next day. It only took around 4 days for my returns to be processed and the payment refunded to my original bank card.

I must also mention that I had no issues with NAP declining my card/order before placing each order. Each transaction went smoothly from start to finish. Overall, I had a great experience shopping with NAP and will definitely be a long-term customer. Their pricing is very reasonable and comparable to Mytheresa, if not better.

I've been shopping at Netaporter for years and have always been impressed with their selection of high-end brands and exceptional customer service. In fact, I've often recommended them to friends and family as the gold standard for online shopping. However, my recent experience with their customer service has left me feeling disappointed and frustrated.

I recently returned an item and contacted customer service to see if I could purchase it again, as it was the last one in stock. A customer consultant named Ama assured me that the item would be reserved for me and sent back as soon as it was processed. However, I received an email later that day saying that my money had been refunded. When I contacted Ama to ask about this, she told me not to worry and that the item would still be sent back to me. I trusted her word and waited for an email with the tracking number.

Unfortunately, no email or tracking number ever arrived. I tried emailing and calling Ama, but received no response for 72 hours - much longer than the 24 hours they usually promise to respond within. When I finally heard back, I was told that the item had already been sold and was no longer available.

I'm extremely disappointed with this experience, as I trusted Netaporter to provide exceptional customer service and follow through on their promises. Ama's unprofessional behavior and lack of communication has made me lose faith in the company as a whole. It's a shame, as I've always felt that Netaporter was a cut above the rest when it comes to online shopping. However, this experience has shown me that they are just like any other online retailer - and not one that I can trust to provide the level of service I expect as a customer.

In conclusion, I hope that Netaporter takes steps to improve their customer service and regain the trust of their customers. As for Ama, I would not recommend her as a consultant to anyone - her behavior was unprofessional and disrespectful, and she did not treat me with the respect that I believe any customer deserves.

I recently made a purchase from Net-a-Porter and it was a complete nightmare. I was shocked when they asked me for an access code for my credit purchase. I mean, seriously? I understand that I'm not rich, but that doesn't mean I can't treat myself to some luxury items. My bank had already approved the funds, but Net-a-Porter still thought it was suspicious. When it came to delivery, it was even worse. I have an access point set up at my apartment for all UPS deliveries, but Net-a-Porter refused to deliver to it because I had to sign for the package personally. They didn't seem to understand that I work in a secure office building where personal mail is not allowed. I couldn't take a day off to wait for my package, and my apartment building doesn't allow non-residents to enter. It was a complete mess. I had to explain to them that I couldn't afford a doorman or concierge, and that I had to work full time. They didn't understand that the UPS driver couldn't just leave the package, because it would be stolen. After all was said and done, I had to drive to a sketchy part of town to pick up my package at the UPS depot at 8:00 pm at night. It was a terrible experience. I felt like they were judging me for my payment and my standard of living. I just wanted to treat myself, but instead, I felt worse. I will never order from Net-a-Porter again. I will stick to Sephora, Neimans, Nordstroms, or Saks. The only reason I gave them two stars is because I finally received my cosmetics, and they were high quality. But Net-a-Porter is a horrible company, and I would give them zero stars if I could. They made the whole process so inconvenient and frustrating.

My experience with Net-a-Porter was not a pleasant one. I was excited to order a couple of jackets that were on sale, but things quickly turned sour. After placing my order, I received an email stating that my order was undergoing a security check. I patiently waited for the check to pass so that my items could be shipped. However, when the price of the jackets dropped two days later, I called customer service to request a price adjustment. To my surprise, I was met with an incoherent response that left me confused and frustrated.

Unlike other major retailers that prioritize customer satisfaction, Net-a-Porter's policy seemed to be the opposite. They refused to give me the price break unless the "timing" was right, which left me feeling like I was at the mercy of their whims. To make matters worse, customer service demanded that I register my shipping address with my bank since my billing address was a P.O. Box. Despite setting up a conference call between myself, Net-a-Porter customer service, and my bank, my items still weren't shipped.

Days later, I noticed that the hold for the items had dropped off of my credit card account, but I still hadn't received a shipping notice. When I called customer service again, they informed me that there was still a problem with authorization of my shipping address by my bank. Despite confirming that my bank had authorized the shipping address, Net-a-Porter claimed that my shipping address was not a residential address, but a mail drop. This was not a secret, and I had used it for years without any issues from other vendors.

Net-a-Porter's response was to suggest that I find a friend whose residential address I could use for shipping purposes. As someone who works in a field that involves a lot of violent, dangerous men, I never give out my residential address to avoid stalkers. I was shocked that Net-a-Porter was so dismissive of my concerns and only seemed to care about their own "security." When I pointed out that their policies were creating more hoops to jump through and would ultimately hurt their business, they remained unhelpful.

In the end, I had to use a friend's address for shipping purposes and jump through all the hoops demanded by Net-a-Porter. Despite doing everything they asked, they still refused to send me the goods. This was an exercise in frustration that I wouldn't wish on anyone. My advice is to shop elsewhere and save yourself the stress.

I recently made my first purchase from Net-A-Porter, and I have to say, I was not impressed with their customer service. I ordered a few bottles of perfume as a birthday gift on Monday evening, and while I received a confirmation email, I woke up the next morning to find that the order had been canceled without any notification. When I called to inquire, I was told that the order had been canceled because I had requested delivery to a mailbox instead of the address on my card. I was surprised by this, as I thought that having packages delivered to a secure mail center would be a good idea, but apparently, Net-A-Porter prefers to leave packages out in the open for anyone to take.

After some back and forth with their representative, I was told that I would need to place a new order. Unfortunately, the items I wanted were sold out by the time I tried to reorder them. I settled for alternative products from the same perfume line, but an hour after placing the order, I received an email from Net-A-Porter requesting a transaction authorization code from my bank. When I called my bank, they told me that there was no such code, but that Net-A-Porter could call them for a merchant verification if needed. However, Net-A-Porter refused to do so, and I had to go back and forth between them and my bank several times before finally getting a code.

I provided the code to Net-A-Porter, but after waiting all day for an email with tracking information, I called to inquire and was told that my order had been canceled again without any notification. I was offered no explanation for the cancellation, and even the alternative products I had chosen were sold out. I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed by the whole experience.

Overall, I would not recommend Net-A-Porter based on my experience. Their customer service was lacking, and the hoops I had to jump through just to place an order were ridiculous. It's a shame, as I had heard good things about the site, but my experience was far from positive.

I gotta say, my experience with Net-A-Porter was a total disaster. I mean, seriously, don't even think about buying from them until you read this review.

Let me tell you, this was my first time shopping with them, and it was a complete nightmare. I ordered a Jil Sander Large Leather Bag, but when it arrived, the shoulder strap was missing. I've sent them three emails about it, but they just keep giving me the runaround.

I get it, they're probably swamped with orders right now, but that's no excuse for being so unprofessional. I mean, I paid for the bag, and they sent me an incomplete item. And now, instead of being a happy customer, I'm a disgruntled one, waiting for them to send me the missing strap.

Every time I email them, I either get an auto-reply saying there will be a delay, or a message that makes it seem like they're looking for the strap, but really couldn't care less. I even called their helpline, and the person I spoke to just repeated the same thing I'd already read in their emails. It's like they don't even care about their customers.

I asked them to send me the strap by January 30th, but I'm not holding my breath. It's like they're not even trying to fix their mistake. They just keep saying they'll send it when they find it, or I can return the bag if I don't want to wait. Seriously, is that any way to run a business?

And don't even get me started on their customer service. The person I spoke to on the phone sounded like they were reading from a script, and didn't seem to care at all about my problem. It's like they deal with angry customers all day, every day, and they're just over it.

Honestly, I'm so disappointed. I thought Net-A-Porter was supposed to be one of the best online retailers out there. But if this is how they treat their customers, I don't know how they've managed to stay in business. In the end, they couldn't even locate a shoulder strap for me. What a joke.

If you're thinking about shopping with Net-A-Porter, don't say I didn't warn you.

Order number: 4127430

I gotta say, I was really let down by my experience with Net-A-Porter. I've shopped with them before and always had my stuff show up lightning fast, but this time was a total disaster. They straight-up cancelled my order without telling me why, and when I called to ask what was up, the customer service person acted like it was the craziest thing in the world that my shipping address was different from my billing address. They even had the nerve to tell me that my work address didn't exist, like I don't know where I work or something! So now I've got a charge on my account for a Gucci bag that I don't even have, and no refund in sight.

To make matters worse, the customer service rep actually hung up on me when I got upset about it. Can you believe that? I was so frustrated that I took to Twitter to complain and even tagged their CEO, but instead of helping me out, they just blocked me. It took me a full 23 hours of dealing with their customer service to finally get in touch with a supervisor who could help me order the bag again, but now I've had to pay for it twice and I'm just completely worn out.

Honestly, if you're thinking about shopping with Net-A-Porter, I'd say steer clear. How can they get away with treating their customers like this? It's just not right.
