Fat Shaming Incident- Melboure South Yarra Shop

Unfortunately, during my daughters visit to South Yarra Melbourne Brandy Melville yesterday, my daughter muscly but a clothes size 7 and wearing a baggy T-shirt, was subjected to fat shaming incident not by one but three shop assistants in this store.

My daughter who is a valued customer and was sssooo excited to visit this store in Melbourne (as we had such a great experience in Japan) she was deeply hurt left in tears and continued to sob for hours after the incident and is now self questioning her weight and beautiful figure.

"One shop assistant followed behind her and sniggered to another about her size", the third assistant held up an item of clothing at the change room looked up and down and said you are you really sure this is going to fit you?

It is unacceptable for any individual to be subjected to such derogatory remarks, particularly in a retail environment, the staff should be offering to help. (THIS did not happen) not one staff member came up to her to offer to help even though she spent in excess of $200 as she loves the clothes.

My daughter has been questioning her whole self since this incident, which she has never done before...

I am hauled and disgusted that this kind of behavior is happening in this day and age with so much Mental health and suicide... Please rethink allowing your child to shop in this shop!!!

Employee complaint

Jan 12 around 7pm, My sister and her friends were shopping at Brandy Melville the one in Huntington beach, California. My sister was helping her friend put some jewelry back on a display that was too high for her to reach.

This is when an asian employee approached my sister and told her to empty her pockets even though she did nothing wrong and was just browsing while waiting for her other friend who checking out. My sister said after that happened the employee scurried off like if did something wrong. This bothering me because she came home sad telling me what happened.

I don't want another person to feel like this while shopping at this store just because they have colored skin. Please investigate this matter regarding the employee who accused my sister of stealing.

Wrong item was sent/customer service won’t do anything

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I bought an XS item, they sent me One Size huge item and when I informed their mistake they said the item was sent correctly. I had to pay shipping for a wrong item sent. And shipping again to return the wrong item, and they won't just do anything about it. They lie to you!! They do not solve the mistake they make and make you lose money!!!

Hate it, is the most discriminating store! One size that fits just the skinny girls Wow I saw a teenage girl crying because she went to the store with two friends and couldn't buy anything, because nothing fit her, and she felt embarrassed, fat and inappropriate. The store destroyed her self-esteem in an hour.

Order cancelled twice for "unforeseen circumstances"

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
It is pretty obvious this company just takes orders without the items even in stock just to cancel them hours later with no explanation. You cannot contact "customer service" by phone because they either hang up on you or a recording eventually picks up, states to email, then hangs up. No response to emails and I see they do not respond to BBB complaints.

Missing package

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I spent almost $400 buying clothes from Brandy. They ship with the most incompetent shipping company FedEx who didnt put my package inside my apartment and it got stolen. They wont refund me or ship me new merchandise because there was a picture showing proof of delivery. Brandy melvilles customer service is absolute horrible and they make you pay the dumb $7.50 shipping every time and they use fed ex that is *** incompetent.

“Undeliverable”

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My package was declared undeliverable when it was literally AT THE FACILITY ready to be driven out to me. FedEx sent my package back to them after Brandy Melville called them and asked for it to be returned WHEN IT WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO BE DELIVERED. Called Brandy and they said theres nothing they can do. They refuse to refund me even if the package is delivered back. Lost $300 because of this stupid store. Id give negative stars if I could. Customer service is useless.

Horrible Service and Even Worse Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Brandy Melville - Horrible Service and Even Worse Customer Service
Original review Mar 22, 2022

I placed a $90 online order with this company and 3 weeks later, I had to contact their customer service to get an ETA on the delivery. They started an investigation with USP.

Once it was determined that UPS had lost the package, instead of re-shipping the merchandise I had already paid for, without consulting me, they refunded the order to the original payment method.

It is all fine and dandy. However, I paid for the order with a Visa gift card which I no longer have.

When I contacted customer service, all they did was apologize and tell me to contact Visa so THEY could help me. How can VISA help me when I don't have the full 16-digit gift card number? I asked if they could provide me with the number which they said they couldn't.

I asked if there was anything they could do to make up for some of my double loss - $90 worth of merchandise AND $90 refund to a gift card I no longer have, but all I got was a "I am sorry,"

Brandy Melville representatives were not helpful at all, nor were they sympathetic with my situation. I spoke with three different people, one being Sabrina, and supposedly the manager, Claudia. After almost one hour on the phone and many emails, I walked away with a measly "I am sorry!" and nothing else.

First and last time I will ever do business with this company.

Save your money. Spend in a store where they value their customers.

UPDATE: I just called Master Card and they told me the vendor would have the full 16-digit gift card number.

MC is unable to help me as they cannot pull up information on any card by the last 4-digits only.

Again...No merchandise and out $90.00. Thanks Brandy Melville.

Stay away

My daughter stopped in to purchase clothes. When she wanted to try a belt on, she was told she was not able to and would need to purchase. She purchased the belt along with clothes and the belt was too small. She went back to the store - tag still on it, never worn, etc. - and was told she is not able to exchange or return. We will never again take our daughters to Brandy Melville again. What a scam.

Canceled orders on canceled orders.

Brandy Melville - Canceled orders on canceled orders.

Seriously. Like, 7 canceled orders in a row.

Emailed their support team three times. It's been at least a week, no response. Tried the live chat feature. Got redirected to their support email.

Fantastic. Wondrous.

I'm thrilled. Please get back to me, at the very least.

Exactly the same: 5 times oder cancelled immediately after payment is confirmed, without any explanation. Customer service?

They only ask you to write an email to the warehouse...
