Athleta Avis 

Apparel good quality but not all consistently great. Sizing varies - as well quality.
Customer service and shipping a problem. Site promises 3-5 business day delivery but I have never received items in 5 business days… always longer. Customer service offers many promises but none actually are based in reality. I am blocking the website and will not order their overpriced merchandise again.

I ordered 3 tops, was only sent 2. I immediately contacted Althea & was told to submit a "claim". Less than 24hrs later my claim was denied with zero explanation. I chatted and was told again there's zero explanation for my claim being denied. What's even better is, they refused to refund my money and also refused to send out the item THEY DIDN'T SHIP ME! The quality of their clothing is also atrocious, you can find better quality on Amazon.

They promote the "power of she". Then simone biles whom they pay to endorse puts men over women. Way to lose a customer for life.

I have placed 3 orders where items from each order have just been cancelled. No explanation, showed as in stock when I ordered. I know, why would I do this 3 times?! Two of the orders were around a year ago and I wondered if it was a temporary problem. Well, no is the answer to that. Ordered again recently and half of the items cancelled angain and I’m told I will be refunded.. not good enough. What kind of company takes money for items they clearly don’t have in stock, take several days to inform me, cancel and I’m
sure several more days to refund. Never again.

So far I really like the quality and comfort of this higher end fitness clothing line. Great service, quick shipping.

Worst experience. Bought sports bras,pants,shots and a skort. Every size was incorrect! They would exchange not allow return for credit! Never will shop there again. Poor customer service. I spent a lot of money with them. Lost me.

Athleta as a company has horrendous customer service! I was returning a pair of leggings that were sent to me damaged , and I was mailing back with UPS. This is what they say on the return confirmation:
Your refund will be issued immediately upon drop off. If you opted into an exchange or eMerchandise Return Card, we will send those to you immediately.

And this is what they told me via the chat:

It can take up to 10 days and the return may not be approved!!! Very rude on the chat line.
One is a lie ????? Also, was told I would get a call back and that never came. If I knew it would be so difficult I would have returned them at the store!

Athena is the only brand of clothing that fits my body type. the only store that would provide exemplary service was Orlando Mall of Millena and they closed it. they always took the time even when busy to help me suggesting things I might not consider going out of their way to order stuff online or try to get from another store.
I have been to PGA in Jupiter and the Lenox Store in Atlanta and the customer experience is horrible, I was in Lenox and the gentlemen knows me and I asked for assistance and he barely assisted me and then shoved me into a dressing room to go back onto the floor and do nothing, When I said to him I did not like a product in a color he never offered to order it in another color he never checked on me . this is the second or third time I have had problems. I have called the store leadership team from the store or outside the store crying in frustration and I have had abrasive customer service people tell "What do want me to do about it gruffly I left I have autism and I cannot tell if things fit or how to coordinate outfits. At pga they never have a smile on their faces etc. I called and got the store leadership team and they are rude and blamed me for everything and do not understand the needs of someone who is disabled. the district manager has declined to make any changes to the stores and I spoke the acting regional manager she blew me off. I spent a good amount of money 2500 a year at Athena and I have filed numerous complaints and I found out none of the complaints were never passed on and dealt with . I also found through another store that they have received numerous complaints about Lenox .
the district manager indicated that nothing will changed did seem empathetic to my concerns. The acting regional manager was belittling me and I felt co erred and cannot trust her I live in Orlando the nearest store now is 1.5 hours away and sometimes I go to s. Florida Jupiter store is 45 minutes away and boca is over an hour. I cannot order clothes online due to my disability
I am frustrated beyond belief and each time I call I am met with hostility and amensia. And begging them to help me but they refuse to assist me and according to them I am not a valued customer and they do not recognize nor accommodate customers with disabilities who requires the hands on approach

I purchased items prior in November for Christmas presents. All came but one item. The tracking number continuously stated delayed - in process. I called in December to check the status and was told not to worry. It is the holidays and it will arrive. On Feb 27 the UPS tracking number was updated to "exception" When I call Athleta to help me resolve this package they state I must work with the credit card bank. One item of 5 was not delivered so the individual charge is not see itemized on the credit card bill. Of course I disputed but I will have to pay interest on this purchase never received and the claim is still pending review as if I will get a return at all! Horrible customer service! I will cancel my store CC immediately and never shop at a Gap Inc store again!

If I could give zero stars I would. I received a completely different item than what I ordered. I contacted customer service and they really wanted me to return the wrong item, re-order the item i originally purchased, contact them with the order number so they can adjust the price and shipping. That is SO much work when it’s THEIR screw up. I won’t be ordering from them again. Anytime this happened with other companies they apologize and send the correct item right away without making you do all the work for their mistake. Bye

I am a total Athleta customer. I wish they would bring back printed tights. Love prints!! Please bring it back.

I had a terrible experience with this company. I ordered four items, but only three were delivered. I took photos immediately upon opening the package, which clearly showed that one item was missing. I followed their process and submitted my claim through the link they provided, but within minutes, I received a rejection email with no explanation. When I called customer service, they were unhelpful and told me to dispute the issue with my bank. I questioned why they were shifting responsibility to my bank, which has nothing to do with their mistake, but the representative said there was nothing they could do. This is completely unacceptable. If you value your money and a fair resolution process, avoid shopping with Athleta. I will never purchase from them again and will actively discourage others from supporting their unethical practices.

I’m going to cancel my credit card. I never shop there again. I placed the order the night of and realized I ordered the wrong color. I immediately called them and they said they will take care of it and then they will give me a label to return that item and re-order the color that I wanted because I made a mistake now they sent be Item back and say that it is not refundable. Don’t believe what they tell you . Now I am stuck with 2 item .

Oh Athleta! I have bought so many of your products over the past 20 years and continued buying even though you have more competition now. However, my last order and the way it was handled by your telephone customer reps convinced me I will never order again. You have inconvenienced several people (in different states) for absolutely no reason in the digital age we are in. I still have one top to be delivered (to a stranger at an address I haven't lived at for 8 years), and that will be the end. I guess you aren't customer centered like you used to be. That's why you are going out of business.

I finally found an Athleta store which had the coat my daughter wants for Christmas, since the store does not take credit cards over the phone I was advised to access athleta.gap.com and buy a e-gift card and call the store back with the gift card number. I did this twice and received a “Thank you for buying …” the clerk at the NY store stayed on the line with me while I was doing this, I explained what was happening and she suggested I call Athleta CS. Instead I called my CC company to make sure there wasn’t anything wrong on my end. I then called Athleta CS. I was told to call cash.star as this was the company taking care of e-gift cards. I called twice, both times Verizon came into the call and said the line isn’t working. I called CS back and was told they don’t use cash star and to call another number. I did and spoke to a clerk who was extremely apologetic and she said my concern would be escalated and I should have the numbers for the gift card in 30 minutes. I am still waiting….. the staff in all of the Athleta stores I spoke to trying to get this Holy Grail of a Christmas gift were above and beyond kind and courteous. But the corporate level making these cheap and horrible decisions directly hitting consumer, really don’t care about the them. I really like the clothes at this store and I’m not going to stop shopping there, but after this very sad experience, It may be awhile.

Athleta products are fine but their customer service and the shipping company they contract with ontrac is the worst. Why should I pay for items when the shipping company Athleta works with didn’t do their job? I have used my Athleta Barclays credit card for many years. I am stuck paying $300 for items I never received. Athleta denied my claim. Ontrac said my package was delivered amazingly the same day I filed the claim after sitting at their facility for three weeks. They say it was delivered at 11:30 at night. It was not delivered. Canceling my card and NEVER shopping athleta, banana republic and gap. Buyer beware!!!!

I ordered a pair of fleece lined leggings. As soon as I pressed "submit order" I realized I had mistakenly shipped the order to an address at which I no longer reside. Immediately I made an effort to correct this.
According to the order confirmation, I would be able to make edits to an existing order. Easy. I selected that option and was able to review my order by not edit it as suggested. I created an account and still no luck.
When I finally called customer service, I was told that "only the customer can make edits" confused, I confirmed I was in fact the customer and to this was told there is no way to change the shipping address.

Inputting the incorrect shipping address isn't exactly a unique mistake. I would think a well-known company like Athleta should be able to help customers with simple tasks.

My friend bought me a pair of cute Athleta pants. They were a size too small, so I went in to the Mall of America store to exchange. One employee helped me and she said they don’t carry that color but they could exchange them in store and ship the right size to my house. I agreed this would be fine. She handed me off to a newer employee at the register, who used my GIFT receipt to exchange the order and credited my friends card (who was not with me and lives out of town). They could not charge her for the new pants without her card present, and they could no longer give me the pants because they were now returned. So the only thing they could do was charge me for the pants, otherwise I was out of luck and basically just gave them my birthday gift. Apparently there is no way for them to undo THEIR mistake. I have recently been diagnosed with Lymphoma and my friend put a lot of thought into finding something that was soft and comfortable for me to wear and I didn’t want her to think I didn’t like her gift so I ended up buying the pants. However I will NEVER shop there again.

Like many reviews here, I was a frequent buyer from Athleta for myself and kids. My order was missing an item that Athleta claimed was shipped in the package. I filed a claim, it was denied. I called CS, they told me to file a claim with my bank (WTAF?). I contacted CS two more times through the chat feature and the online feedback "survey". They continue to refuse to refund the money and tell me to file a dispute with my bank for the item never sent. I am done buying from Athleta. I've lost too much time and money over their mistake. There are plenty of other stores offering the same or better quality clothing at the same price point.

This company will not make a price adjustment, even when the item goes on sale the next day, if it’s final sale. Meanwhile, I don’t even have the item yet. Sounds like a policy that will piss off customers. The poor customer service seems unique to Athleta because I always have great customer service with Gap and Old Navy and they never have any problems with making price adjustments.
