1 Brittany  · Sent totally wrong goods and slow to respond to email asking to resolve the matter. I got ripped off. No genuine attempt to refund. Avoid this scam !
1 Sophie A.  · The worst customer service ever. I believe they should have some ethical training on how to deal with customers. That is really disappointing
1 Tka  · Online store is a scam. Missing items. No communication until you reach out to customer support via email only. Three weeks later still no refund. It’s a scam
1 Kelly  · I only received part of my order and have been following up for over a month, was told someone would be in touch and nothing. Customer service is rubbish
1 Alexio  · Victoria secrets – Not happy terrible experience, not enough staff working at the chadstone store had to wait 15 mins until someone came at the register
1 Johnny T.  · Misled by store – Purchased $330 in products as a B day gift for my partner and was told non refundable or exchangeable totally disgusted

How I wish I read the reviews before making my purchase. Sizing all over the place so when I have measured myself all 3 items came in only one fit. No returns for 'change of mind' it isn't really a change of mind when your sizing is off because my measurements are the same for all 3 ‍♀️the 'complimentary' bra return being denied as the terms and… Read more

conditions were so hidden away and as the sizing was so off the bra could fit 2.5 of my breast in it. First and last purchase ever.

Absolute crooks - sent my wife's parcel with my name to someone else's address. I tried for 3 months to get the issue corrected and a refund processed or the parcel delivered to the correct address. They refused and I was therefore forced to raise a dispute with the bank. Really terrible customer service.

Disappointing experience. Orders placed on 27 December were packed and posted very slowly and did not arrive in time for overseas travel. When delivery did occur, one item from a matching set was missing, making the purchase unusable. Customer service is extremely difficult to contact and attempts to resolve the issue have been unsuccessful. To… Read more

date, the order has still not been completed successfully. I expect more from a company the size of Victoria’s Secret. Would not recommend.

Purchased the wrong size. All went downhill fast when trying to return and replace within 2 hours of arriving in post. You get grilled with questions and the caveat that a full review is needed before accepting the return. I added all details in the initial return email as described on their website ie sizing, reason, colour, order number. Then… Read more

the send another email with an attachment asking to Fill out another form and repeat the details. Photos in bright light attached. Then returned after I received the postage printout 2 days later? One week after that I receive an email advising post had yet to be received. Attached the confirmation of austpost already dropping package Each time you email you get a full inbox error. Since proving they did receive my package… crickets. I have escalated to management and no one has acknowledged. It’s th last time I’ll buy online. Pretty disappointing - more like Victoria secret service. Not customer centric at all

Complaint Regarding Misleading Online Promotion Victoria’s Secret — you have one very unhappy customer here. I placed an order for three lip glosses under the impression that the advertised promotion was “buy two, get one free.” However, I was charged for all three items. To make matters worse, I was charged $21.90 each (x3), yet the products I… Read more

received are clearly marked at $14.95 each (see attached photos).

This experience leaves me feeling misled by your promotion and unfairly overcharged.

We purchased a perfume and then the next day we are unable to return it despite the unopened box and everything. Apart from that, they sell the perfume on a double price. 37.90 the item was tagged 19.95 which they unfortunately forgot to removed from the item. Show details

Pricing error on products and no apology or resolution – The prices are not only exorbitantly high but the customer service is poor. They put a fake price for some of their travel mists as $19.95 each. I picked one and was told the price was actually $24.95. I took the sales clerk to the board showing the price as !19.95 and she said it must be a printing error and refused to honour the listed price. No… Read more

apology was given and the guy next to her called me as being rude to her for saying I will leave a review. Apparently that was threatening! Very dissapointed I didn’t buy the item in question although spent $165 buying other stuff. Untrained staff with no empathy or ability to resolve a problem. Lower IQ levels than I expected.

1 MONTH WAITING, INCOMPLETE delivery – There is no complain form of sort at VS online. So will write it here to warn others if they are going to use online ordering on VS online. Ordered 11 items on 02/12/2024, only received 3 items.contacted them through several chats/emails and only received generic responses a few days after. Sent them photos of items received. I let the holiday… Read more

season past thinking maybe i can have clear answer after the busy season. Rang them up today 02/01/25 only to be told that my case is still under investigation and right now the remaining items are out of stock to which he offered a refund that will take about 1-3days. Which i don’t know if refunds will go on that timeframe given that they already messed up with delivery. Their online ordering system is VERY DISORGANIZED it just keeps on receiving online orders, takes payments even if products are no longer available. For a huge company, deliveries have NO tracking NO signature on delivery even if you order $$$. VERY POORLY MANAGED online ordering/delivery system. Just sad coz their products are quite good. With this experience, I would stay away from online ordering from them anymore.The very low star rating here is very accurate.

Staff member was fantastic – Beth at the Emporium Melbourne store was so helpful. Stock was low in the things I wanted but she was very helpful anyway. Offered many alternatives and while I bought one of them, she wrote down all my other products so I could order the rest online. She made my experience so much easier. Show details

love them – every year I do a midyear shop during their sales and I'm honestly never disappointed. Great products, comfortable and very good quality. Beautiful bags and wallets also! Look forward to adding more to my little collection next year..or Maybe sooner, if I can convince anyone to buy me some for Christmas! Show details

Good Underwear – I bought bras and undies and was mostly pleased. Most of the undies are comfy, a couple ride up the crack too much. The bra was too padded for me so not comfortable. They arrived quickly and were average price. Will browse again.

Dont buy any product online as they will advertise of freebies if you reach a certain amount but it all lies, you wont received anything and when you email them they response longer. And you cannot even talk to them. All their advertisement with freebie’s were not true you will just get scam. Show details

Does not respond to website chat, email or other points of customer service. Over the course of 4 days, over various times within their "available" window, will not respond to live chat. Not once. Confirmation email has links which do not work. The status of a 600dollar order is completely unknown. Confirmation emails with links for the order… Read more

status not working, is highly unusual. There is no way of getting in touch with them to find out the status. Howver in any case, some time has passed and the order should of progressed by now. Many orders placed after this one with other companies have been received. Nothing from VS.

If you send an email, you'll receive an auto response email advising of a ticket number. The link to this "ticket" takes you to a 3rd party site where you are required to make an account to find out what's going on. Very sus.

At best, their online operation is a mess. At worst, they've the hallmarks of a legit scam.

Raising dispute with bank - scam.

Thereally need to update the information on the website. My daughter was extremely upset when we didn’t receive the cosmetic bag that was clearly advertised. If the item is out of stock, you should offer a replacement gift — not just send an email. This doesn’t feel like a professional business. It looks like you're forcing customers to spend a… Read more

specific amount just to qualify for a gift, and then not even delivering on that promise.

I will not recommend your store to others, and I will be leaving a public review about this experience.

Zero star review for me. Victoria secrets policy and customer service is hideous. Do not buy from this store. My daughter bought me a pair of pyjamas which cost her $169.95 for Mother’s Day from the Melbourne store. I loved my pyjamas but they were the wrong size so I googled the return policy and took them to my nearest Victoria secret store to… Read more

exchange them for a bigger size. I was told that I would have to pay extra if I were to exchange them because my daughter originally bought them on sale. This was not the case when I actually looked at my receipt. And if this had of been the case, this would have been an absolute joke. I asked to speak with her manager and she told me that I had to exchange my pyjamas at the original store that they were purchased from. If I read the fine print I probably wouldn’t have wasted my time and avoided the disappointment. I was just grateful that my daughter didn’t purchase these while in another state otherwise there would have been no way I’d be able to exchange them. I was told to leave my details at the store and someone from head office would be in contact. I also backed this up on 2 seperate occasions and called there customer service line and got no help whatsoever. I’m still waiting for my email, and I was told by customer service support that my situation was out of their control because they only deal with online purchases. Victoria secret has infuriated me and they definitely won’t be getting my business ever again. They shouldn’t be allowed to trade with their bad customer service and unrealistic policy’s. This could have easily been avoided if they had just exchanged my item to a bigger size. Now I want my money back and would like to take this further so that no one else has the same experience. And judging by all the bad reviews they should be shut down.

Had to wait over 3 months for a return label to have my items refunded. Sent countless emails, live chat correspondence and attempted phone calls which were disconnected on me. I needed to raise a dispute of the transaction with my bank to finally receive a refund. Very poor customer service, no communication, ignored my emails, or I received… Read more

deceitful replies, and they tried to get away with not processing my refund. Refunds should not be this complicated and time-consuming. An absolute scam and fraudulent company. Will never purchase from this website again, nor will I recommend it to anyone after my experience. They have ruined Victoria's Secret reputation with this Australian website. I have never experienced these issues with their American website in the past. How are they getting away with this? Not one positive review here! I'm surprised no one has taken this to the media or A Current Affair. This evidence seems we should!

Absolutely disgraceful and dishonest. I can't believe I got burned twice in two weeks! Firstly I purchased a 100ml gift box of fragrance and only received a 50ml gift box. Two months after many phone calls and emails, I am finally informed that I am not entitled to a refund or new product because the listing was wrong on their website! … Read more

Supposedly this item doesn't come in 100ml. And yet that's what I paid for?! AND THEN I had purchased one of their 4 bundle package which was to include 100ml Perfume, Travel Perfume, Body Mist and Body Lotion. I only received the Travel Perfume and Body Lotion and weeks later after following up again, I was told that the other items are not available and they credited my account. When I requested to return the two items I did receive, because let's be honest, who wants half a bundle!?....they said because the items aren't damaged I could not return them. I don't think I have ever had to leave a negative review! I am so disappointed in the lack of honesty and care from Victorias Secret. I will never purchase from them again. It makes me so sad.

I usually love Victoria’s Secret, but I’ve had a really disappointing experience with their Australian customer service. I placed an order on March 1st and reached out to exchange two bras. I was told the request would be escalated, but since then… nothing. I’ve followed up several times and still no response. It’s really frustrating when there’s… Read more

zero communication for weeks. Exchanges shouldn’t be this complicated. I hope someone from the team sees this and actually responds.

Victoria's Secret is not what it once was. I am a customer for 30 years and cant believe what became of it. I purchased some bras last year and tried this year again. Both times after they took my payment i realised that the items are out of stock. I never received emails to inform me that they are, i only was told once i enquired why am i still… Read more

not receiving my order. First time i received refund after a month. This time, after many exchanged emails and on my suggestion, i was told they can send me an alternative item. I asked for express shipping due to me going to Europe within a week. After 5 days i am still not getting any answers. I tried contacting them, sent 2 emails, no reply. Tried calling, there is no way to get through. They keep me on hold for 5 min and then inform me that no one can answer and disconnect the call. The problems started when VS Australia opened. I never had problems with USA VS. It is a shame what happened to this once reputable company. I urge everyone to save themselves hustle and not shop here any more

where, I got a refund!!! Next time, their emails seems started working, they sent a voucher for little $$, ordered 3 items, received only one.

Consumer Affairs Vic. They advised me to write a letter of complaint to Victoria Secret requesting a refund by a specific date. If this refund was not actioned in that time frame, I said I would go to the ACCC and ring back consumer affairs. I also wrote numerous comments on the Victoria secret facebook and instagram pages, requesting a refund and telling people to check reviews on this site before purchasing from them. Finally & most importantly, threatened I would go to A Current Affair and that’s when I got my refund. Good luck!

Ordered 2 bras online, they only sent one. No refund, no contact, nothing. I followed up via there online chat, they apologised and said they’d follow up with their refunds team. That was almost 2 months ago. Never received a refund, never contacted me back. I’ve followed up by emails and nothing. Of course there is no phone number to call. For the amount of money they would make, it’s really disgusting

Despite repeated attempts to call, email and live chat,… Read more

they either make false promises of "escalating the issue" or literally ignore you. For your own sanity do not buy from this company. They took my money and ran. It was only after months I decided to just dispute with my bank and with all the overwhelming evidence I received my refund via the bank. VS is yet to respond to me. Shame on you for your pathetic business practices!
