I really love free people. Even when they tick me off, I can't step away from the company and because there are no other stores that carry the kind of stuff free people does. Along with FP, Anthropologie and Urban outfitters are under the same umbrella. I had an unpleasant experience with free people recently, but they made things right. I really dislike their return policy. If you return something, they automatically refund the money and then you are to purchase it again. If they had a sale, snd the price had been lowered, they should be able to exchange,, but it doesn't matter to them. This very uncool. I had to fight to get a dress I did not receive although the tracking indicated the item has been delivered. I told them a refund it would do me no good at that point. They said it's policy, and basically wouldn't isten to a word I said. Why wouldn't they want to keep the money? Anyway, I woke up in the morning to see the dress had shipped, and I got it a few days later. There was no apology email until I asked for it, and it was 7 days after I asked them to provide me with an apology. I had asked much earlier, but when I CC'D service while writing an email to the CEO, the CEO, the chairman of the board for free people, etc. I explained the situation, and I told him the service department did not treat me as a human being. They did not acknowledge me at all. One of the of the higher-ups ended up emailing me back, and then gave me an incentive to go back to free people and purchase more items at a discounted rate. All in all, all is well. They were able to take care of me, and they used to be awesome in the past, so that's why I docked them one star. I am obsessed with their clothing, and I will probably always be a customer, but the customer service agents are so robotic and they're not very friendly. I remember a time when I would call free people super late at night, and I would have a whole conversation with associates working at that time. I would talk to all of them at the same time, and free people's customer service used to be a lot of fun--even during the day. I don't know if they lowered the salary, but agents there really seem like they do not want to be there.
