“Unfortunately excellent”

For moral reasons I'm one of those people who boycotts Amaz*n and haven't bought anything from them in like a decade because of their awful labor practices. Despite this, even though I think Shopbop is technically owned by Amaz*n, I can't keep myself away. Their selection is always top quality stuff, and if you wait long enough and keep checking back you can get these gorgeous designer items for a fraction of their original price as they're always having really great sales.

“International Customers Beware”

If you return your items, Shopbob will charge USD 60 to return via DHL and will not refund VAT fees. This is a trap!

If you return your items, Shopbob will charge USD 60 to return via DHL and will not refund VAT fees. This is a trap!

Tip for consumers:
I usually order from other USA merchants and have never had a problem returning in terms of getting my VAT back and also shipping fees are less costly. I am very dissatisfied.

If you are a buyer from the UK or overseas, you will NOT be getting a full refund. I had to return an item as it was too small. They will only refund for cost of the item and not include any VAT/Customs paid. Usually in the UK, businesses will refund in full, including the VAT. ShopBop do not, so not normal business practices.

My parcel also did not include any customs paperwork so you cannot check exactly how much fees you're actually paying for.

If you are not based in America, DO NOT use this company as you will definitely be losing a lot of money if you have to return anything.

I will not be using this company again.

Tip for consumers:
International buyers should avoid this store. You will incur heavy losses as they don't refund the tax/customs you paid, so you won't be getting a full refund back.

Hi - do not shop at shopbop. Simply use it to browse. Twice now they have sent me CHEAP 50 dollar jewelry when I've ordered close to 900 dollar pieces. They do this because they Count on people not going through the hassle of returning. Also it's owned by amazon - that explains why it's so $#*!ty. I've attached the crappy bracelet that was literally fifty dollars on their website versus what they advertised. I don't think fine jewelers work w them.

Tip for consumers:
Do NOT shop here. Simply browse and order it from the retailer or anywhere else!

Not necessarily Shopbop's fault but got sent a shirt that reeked so strongly of perfume and or deodorant as if it had been worn for a day and then returned. Come on people, do better. I'm usually not bothered by smells but this smell turned my stomach so much I was practically hanging over the toilet bowl. If you buy something, DON'T wear it for every day life and then return it.

First order I placed was damaged by courier, sent back to Shopbop through courier, and took weeks to receive credit. Second order: sent a top when I paid for a dress. Not satisfied with this service.

I ordered a pair of shoes that I need for a certain date so I paid for express shipping, it said they would arrive in 1-2 days but when I went to track my package it said "package is returning to seller because of customs issue" and they are now going to be coming a month later. The timing is extremely inconvenient and I don't understand why I didn't get an email or message about the delay. I also think its really stupid how you can't cancel your order and also how the customer service number doesn't work in Australia, when I tried to do a live chat it didn't work even though it was between the right times. I strongly advise to never buy from this website because it is completely unprofessional.

Tip for consumers:
never buy from here

Really disappointed with a pair of P448s that I spent a lot of money on. Clearly faulty and Shopbop won't do a thing! Won't be purchasing from them ever again!

I've been ordering from this website for years and it's good. They have a large selection, and they occasionally offer great coupon codes. It's relatively easy to return an item if it doesn't fit although I did have an issue once.

I would say that I've had better service at revolve.com so if an item is available there, I will buy it there since shipping is also quicker. But shopbop is pretty good. I'll look to see if Revolve or Nordstrom is offering the same item. If not, I'll buy it from shopbop.

Extremely poor customer service. Terrible shipping courier. The tracking information hasn't been updated for 5 days. It's been 15 days but I have no idea where my package is.
Think twice before you shop anything from this lousy company!

GST / taxes and import duties on shipments to Australia are outrageously expensive and returned goods don't get these charges refunded so you will be significantly out of pocket!
I will not shop here anymore!
REVOLVE and Net a Porter, or even My Theresa are all much better!
DONT USE SHOPBOP if you're in Australia

1st time order on 12 Jan 2021 and Shopbop cancelled my order without any notice. A week later, I contacted customer service and they said my Amex card didn't go through and locked my account. But at least should send me an email to let me know since my account was locked.

2nd time order, they send me an EMPTY BOX! Thought of any stealing happened in between. Used the scale to measure the weight of empty box + package which perfectly matched with DHL's indicated weight, it means Shopbop sent me empty box!

Contacted Shopbop customer service and required to send back the same item as it's a gift for my sister whose birthday just few days away. Soon they told me, yes they made the mistake and would be "Happy" to refund me. Because they charged me in USD currency, I even have to bear the difference of exchange rate charged by the credit card company.

It's the worst online shopping experience I've had. The customer service asked if I preferred to have refund and my answer was "I'd like to re-deliver the item". But they sent me a refund email right after and said "happy" to refund me. Then why bother to ask if I want to have refund?

I spent time to search for the gift and gave enough time for delivery but ended up with such horrible shopping experience with Shopbop. I would never ordered from Shopbop again. And if you are reading and consider buying gift from Shopbop, re-consider it!

The cost and hassle of returning items (if they are eligible) is annoying. I have had multiple items arrive that were not the correct material or dimensions described, and the pictures don't always accurately portray the item. I have found a couple of good finds though - but not enough to keep me coming back. Meh.

My girl loves this site. They do have some fresh threads, but some of it can get expensive. Like, $495 for track pants. Yes, they're cashmere, but who works out in cashmere? But on the flip, there are regular priced clothes as well. So there is a variety to say the least.

I bought an item from them for next day delivery and paid extra for it. The page showed me the delivery day as the next day. However, the item was not delivered and when I reached out to them, they denied the promised delivery date and did not return my overnight shipping fee. I wanted to give them a try; however, definitely not shopping from them again.

I'm in the southern hemisphere. I ordered on Friday and the parcel arrived on Sunday from overseas which surprised me. However the pair of pretty sandal I bought has already been worn out after just one summer, sad.

Was concerned about legitimacy of the site but the came through and I got new balance shoes on 50% discount and was shipped pretty fast. The tracking was accurate. The shoes are genuine and brand new without any defect. I did go back to the site for good deals but there are lot of premium brands options but not many New balance, Vans, Nike collection so you will have to keep monitoring for your brand item frequently

I received my order in 16 days, they used to ship on the same day and arrive within 3-4 days. My dress came without the matching waist belt. I contacted them, they said that it was unfortunate, there was nothing that they could do and blamed that my order might be tampered. They couldn't re-send or compensate for the missing piece. Do note that they state no refund and no exchange on sale items because some of the items have missing pieces! I have been buying from ShopBop for many years, their customer and shipping service went from 5 stars to no star. I won't be ordering from them again. Buy at your own risk!

Tip for consumers:
You might want to think twice before shopping at ShopBop. Shipping is too slow and they don't guarantee to refund for sale items even when there are missing pieces.

The clothes they sell here are super expensive, and not good looking either. I don't know if they were taken over by another company, but I rarely go on there website to shop anymore. I can never really find anything I like. Also, on a return, they now take longer than usual for a refund. I also don't want to shop. Where they are now supporting organizations I don't support. I believe All Lives Matter! God is the Creator of All lives. The fact there are despicable evil people out here, that commit horrendous crime against a particular race, is not a reason to lump all people together in that category.
Bye Shopbop!

I've never had a bad experience shopping with ShopBop. Pricey brands, but always great quality. Shipping is always fast and reliable.

Shopbop advertises a "free return" policy which specifies that you have 15 days from when you place your order to have the return back to them (in their hands) or you pay a $10.00 shipping fee. They also specify that return shipping can take up to 7 business days so returns must fit into this time frame. This has left me with, on average, about 2-3 days from time of delivery in which to return this item without being charged. No thanks. I'm a busy working mother, and I don't always have time to open a package, let alone try on and decide whether or not to keep expensive items, within 2-3 days. I've shipped the items back as quickly as I reasonably can, and still faced the fee.
I won't be shopping on this website until this policy changes. A 28 day return window from time of delivery to when return is mailed out is fair and the industry standard. A 15 day window- nope.

Hey its Alana! I got the "Gemma Bikini Top, White/River/Tangerine, S" and the "Frenchi Bitsy Bikini Bottoms, White/River/Tangerine, S."
I just filmed a review of 7 bikinis from 7 different trendy online shops on my YouTube channel: Alana Arbucci. I had my mom and boyfriend rate all the bikinis and overall this one was everyone's favorite.
The fit is so flattering it makes your waist look tiny, hides the bottom of the belly and makes the hips look curvy. I had d size breasts and the small actually fit me on top which was amazing. The quality of the suit is so nice it felt way better than the other 6 bikinis. However, the one thing I would say is that it felt and looked really nice but not THAT much nicer where the price needed to be $200. I would happily buy more from this company if the suits were around $100 for the whole set.
