  • Burlington Coat Factory

2/24/22

I went to a Burlington last week in Pembroke Pines FL. I had shopped at a Burlington Coat Factory in the past (probably 5 years ago) and got some nice jeans and a jacket. There were absolutely no coats or jackets in the store last week. It looked like a Ross Department store. A bunch of cheap stuff with a huge long line for the cash register (apparently someone is buying their clothes). I left.

Tip for consumers:
I did not order online.

Products used:
I went to a physical store but left without buying anything. The line for the cash register would have taken at least 30 minutes.

Coldwater Creek was taken over by another company and while I used to like them, they are now terrible. Your order delayed? Try calling Customer Service. But don't expect to actually talk to a person. When you call, they say you are number 246 in line and leave your number, they will call back. Don't expect that call back. I recently ordered 3 blouses (which cost over $200) and 2 weeks later I receive an email that says my order was cancelled. No reason why. But did they cancel the charge on my credit card? Nope. So now I have to go through the hassle of disputing the charges. I wish I had read Sitejabber before ordering from them.

Products used:
I bought 3 blouses which I was charged for but the order was cancelled.

This is the biggest piece of crap ever. You can't hear the sound so who knows if it is actually working. But there is supposed to be a light and that doesn't work so I'm assuming the sound doesn't either because it does not phase my dogs AT ALL. They just keep on barking. I thought maybe it doesn't have a battery but I can't open the back to see if there's one already in there. So this is $40 down the drain. Don't waste your money.

I used Task Rabbit 3 different times when I was living in Los Angeles 2014-2015. Twice I used them for handyman projects and once to help me pack up for a move in July '15. I never had a problem with the 3 workers used. I wish they had Task Rabbit in Ft Lauderdale.

I am editing my review as of April 2021. I used Task Rabbit last month to have a piece of furniture put together. The tasker (person who I hired) charged me $165 for 3 hours work (even though he was only there for 2.5 hours - guess they round up). The company, Task Rabbit, charged me an additional $24.88 calling it a "Trust & Safety Fee." It's not a flat fee. The more the tasker charges you, the higher the trust & safety fee. Not quite worth it anymore.

My first review I gave 4 stars because I paid $10 for shipping a $39 dress. This time I bought 2 dresses and a suit. It was a few days before Black Friday and there was a sale. I paid $105 for the 3 outfits, no charge for shipping. One of the suits was the name brand Tahari which would have cost me at least double if I'd bought it at Macy's. The suit and one of the dresses are excellent quality. The material of the other dress is a little flimsy but still a cute dress. All 3 fit but make sure you read the reviews on the website because one of the reviews said go up a size which I did and the dress fit perfectly. It took 5 days from time of order to the time I received the order. Can't ask for more.

Ordered a blouse from the Reborn Collection described as "white & pink floral paisley tunic" for $29.99. Ok so the description doesn't make it sound fabulous but it was really pretty in the picture. I don't care that it took three weeks to be delivered. But the quality makes me think this was put together by some poor child laboring somewhere on the other side of world. The material is so sheer that you can see my undergarments. In addition the seams on the side are gathered like they didn't know how to see two pieces of fabric together. There are long threads hanging down which I guess they couldn't be bothered to cut. The buttons don't close properly. And finally, it looks like I'm wearing one of those old fashioned moo moos. And worst of all I just discovered it can't be returned.

Tip for consumers:
Determine before you buy if the product can be returned. Cause you're gonna want to return it.

I bought 2 Linon Devin end tables and the website said the following: "No Assembly Required: ships fully assembled." That is completely false. Absolutely nothing was assembled. I cannot describe how the tables look because I have no tools and am unable to put together. So now I have to hire someone to do that, adding to the cost of the tables. On a positive note, I ordered the tables and approximately 3 days later they arrived.

Edit: I wrote the company to inform them the tables did not come assembled and I was having to pay someone to put it together and they deducted 20% from the cost so I have revised my overall rating.

Tip for consumers:
It may not be "fully assembled." Let the company know and they told me they will revise their website.
