Rent The Runway they didn't return my money back

I bought dress for the event from the website www.renttherunway.com. I placed the order and paid for the fast delivery. I spent about $600 for the whole order, but the company decided to scam me. They took money and haven’t delivered the order on time. It was terrible deal and now I can’t reach them and return my money back. I won’t deal with these guys again.

Rent the Runway at best has the worst customer service ever and at worst they are using deceptive business practices. I ordered a small dress and they sent me a dress that was so tiny when I held it up it looked like it would fit a very small 12 year old girl. I knew it wasn't a small because everything in my closet is small. That is the only size I wear and often times I can wear an XS top. Ironically or purposefully, there was no tag inside the dress indicating the correct size. It had been removed. I offered to send the dress back at my expense if they would send me an actual dress in size S. They refused even though the website was still claiming to have small dresses on sale. Upon further investigation I found two stickers on the hanger. The sticker underneath said XS and they were trying to cover it up with a sticker that said S. They were trying to pass of the XS dress that would fit "no one" as a small just to get rid of the dresses. They are a dishonest company and have lost my business forever over a $50 dress!

Rent The Runway The seller refused to take the dress back, but it was in awful condition

I purchased the dress from the company www.renttherunway.com, but it was bad experience. The dress arrived in horrible state. The quality was so poor and looked like piece of crap. I decided to return the dress, but the seller refused to take it. He told me that I tore the dress on purpose. The seller is real jerk, so better don’t order from this scamming website. Not recommended.

Rent The Runway They still haven't solved my problem

I rented gown through the company www.renttherunway.com. I paid money for it, but the rep didn’t provide it on the promised day. I spoke with the rep, who told me that they were solving my problem. WTF ? After a month, they still haven’t provided any reply. I was really upset, ‘coz I paid large sum for the rental. These people are scammers and ###, so be careful if you buy from them as well as post comments about your things with them.

Rent The Runway Seller fooled me and didn't return money back

I bought jeans, hoodie and other clothes from the website www.renttherunway.com. I got my order on time, but when I opened the package, it turned out that the quality was horrible. I immediately contacted the rep and told that I wanted to get full refund and returned the order. The seller told me that I could send the order and he would return the full sum and for return postage as well. I returned the purchase and never heard from this ### again. Crap. Please, help me return my money back.

I purchased a dress from www.renttherunway.com, and after 2 weeks I haven’t received it. I contacted the customer services and asked about my delivery. The agent only told me that they would return money if I would send the dress back and hung up on me. WTF? I was really shocked with such attitude and services. Don’t buy from them and post comments about your experience with them.

About Rent The Runway

Rent The Runway is a popular online platform that allows women to rent designer dresses and accessories for special occasions. The company was founded in 2009 by Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss, two Harvard Business School graduates who saw an opportunity to disrupt the traditional retail industry by offering a more affordable and sustainable way to access high-end fashion.

Rent The Runway's business model is simple yet effective. Customers can browse through a vast selection of dresses, gowns, jumpsuits, and accessories from over 700 designers, including big names like Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, and Marchesa. Once they find the perfect outfit, they can rent it for a fraction of the retail price, typically for four or eight days. The rental fee includes free shipping, dry cleaning, and insurance, so customers don't have to worry about any additional costs.

One of the key benefits of Rent The Runway is that it allows women to wear designer clothes that they might not be able to afford otherwise. This is particularly appealing for special occasions like weddings, proms, and black-tie events, where women want to look their best but don't want to spend a fortune on a dress they'll only wear once. Renting also eliminates the need for storing and maintaining expensive dresses, which can be a hassle for many women.

Another advantage of Rent The Runway is that it promotes sustainability by reducing the environmental impact of fashion. By renting clothes instead of buying them, customers can help reduce the amount of waste generated by the fashion industry, which is notorious for its high carbon footprint. Rent The Runway also encourages designers to create more sustainable and durable clothes that can be rented multiple times, rather than disposable fast fashion.

Overall, Rent The Runway has revolutionized the way women shop for special occasion dresses and accessories. Its innovative business model, vast selection of designer clothes, and commitment to sustainability have made it a popular choice for fashion-conscious women who want to look great without breaking the bank or harming the environment.
