Surprisingly Good
December 1, 2018

When I first ordered my items, I was very nervous after reading all the horrible reviews. My items arrives 3 days after I ordered in a thin, flimsy white bag. I was expecting something cheap and awful looking. I was very surprised. I got exactly what I asked for in the sized I wanted. The lace and silk are of very good quality, and everything is so comfortable! The bra and panties look and feel amazing, and look really good. The only thing I would say is that their body suits run a little small, so order a size bigger than you think you would need. I only ordered a thin bra with no padding/under-wire, so I cant speak for the support it offers. Overall, very happy with my order, and glad I took a chance with this company.

I was a loyal Frederick's customer when they still had stores. The service was
Always excellent at the stores and the quality was good.
I tried buying online but my experience was really bad. I purchased panties, a
Bikini and a swimsuit. The panties were alright but the swimsuit was damaged
(hole at the neckline) and the seam of the bikini bottom was loose. Furthermore,
The bikini bottom was far too small. I ordered the same size as the panties
(who fit perfectly) but the bikini bottom would barely fit a teenage girl.
I want to return the items but as I live abroad and I only visit the US 70 days
After shipping, they will not accept my return. They also say that you cannot
Return products that were on sale. I think that is unacceptable, they should
Allow you to return damaged goods no matter if they were on sale or not. In the
End, it is their bad fabric/manufacturing why I want to return part of the
Products, not because I don't like the style.
I really love the designs of Frederick's of Hollywood but will never ever buy
Them (online) again. How sad what happened to their quality and service.

Lots of issues with the service I received. First off, I started my search over the weekend, I found the perfect bra and for a great price. It was during their sale, well I waited until Tuesday to order. The bra had become full-price...okay, I missed the sale. That was on me. After I placed my order 2 days had gone by and I searched the bra I purchased to show my friend...and to my surprise the SAME bra was back at the original sale price. Only 2 days difference??? So they took the sale away for 2 days and brought it back? I couldn't believe it. So I emailed the company and told them what had happened and asked if they would refund me 1/2 the bra price since they must have had a system glitch, what company takes a sale off for 2 days and puts the same one back on? They refused to give me partial refund. So I was upset. The bra didn't end up fitting so I had to send it all back...my $40 bra purchase ended up with only $15.10 back in my pocket as they kept $ for shipping and handling....so I could have just kept the bra and resold it for my money's worth. They ended up taking $20 of my order! Again, angry with the first rep I talked to that wouldn't refund me a partial...I emailed their support line again and explained I was already unhappy with the service and the bra and didn't feel they should take $20 of my order! They were no help. They said it was in the return policy. I told them that I knew I would pay for postage back by returning the item but last I checked, postage isn't more than $5. So where my other money went...I have no clue and they refuse to tell me. I will never order from them again.

I have never been disappointed in a FOH purchase! I especially like that they are carrying more plus size things than they used to. Shipping is fast and online ordering is easy!

Overall I do like like Fredrick's of Hollywood over VS but I just don't understand why I never see any other ethnicities on their websites modeling their line, I would very much enjoy the opportunity to see what the lingerie would like on someone that looks like me. I have beautiful chocolate skin, I am a size 0 with 32B bust, and a big part of my decision making comes from how a outfit will compliment my skin tone and my curves, but with Fredrick's I don't get that opportunity.

Horrible Experience
February 21, 2018

I was shipped the wrong item and was then informed the item I had paid for was no longer in stock. I had to go our of my way to ship the incorrect item back to them and am still weeks later waiting on my refund. Also, I am not getting any compensation for the shipping fees I paid to get the wrong item shipped to me. I will never order from here again and would not recommend it to anyone.

Never Again
February 14, 2018

I had my order sent to different address than my own to surprise my fiance. I noticed in the email confirmation they send me only the street was listed no number tied to the address. I called customer service to confirm if this was correct, the lady I spoke to was extremely rude, unhelpful, and unapologetic. I'm now sitting on hold with usps for 30 minutes now to get this corrected. From the reviews, I read I can only hope my order comes in correct & favorable.

I ordered an outfit & was sent the wrong order. I called politely and asked for a reissue of my order. They emailed me a return label. They couldnt even send me my CORRECT merchandise over night. And apparently there was a big meeting yesterday with all of the supervisors so no one was available. My rep told me that her shift was ending so I needed to call back in an hour. I called back 10 minutes later and SOMEHOW a rep was able to tell me that their supervisor declined to overnight my product and that it will be $24.99 to overnight my correct merchandise. They dont put the customer first at all when they are the ones who made a mistake. I sent the package back the same day and was told that they need to see movement from Fed Ex before issuing a refund which would take about 5-7 business days. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN! $

Sent the wrong order
October 30, 2017

Got an email today saying that my order had been delivered. I drive out of my way to pick it up only to find out that I was sent someone elses order Not mine! First of all I spent $50 on this order! Was my very first order ever and so far I am not liking it! I open the bag to find 3 pairs of panties for $17 and it was supposed to go to someone in Oregon. Lemme guess. They now have my bra? I am so annoyed! After looking at all these reviews I bet I will never ever see my bra. I am so saddened because I am a breast cancer survivor. 3 years ago I lost my breasts and I just recently had surgery to get them back! I was so excited to go bra shopping! I picked this bra out on the Fredericks site as my first one and now I am wondering if I will even ever see the damn thing. Ugh

I have placed close to 10 orders from this company and each time I have had excellent customer service. The shipping arrives promptly and they respond quickly to cancellations and other needs. Returns are easy but it does take almost the full 2 weeks before my money is refunded. I will continue ordering from Frederick's!

I ordered 4 bras from Frederick's of Hollywood, returned all 4 within the alloted time frame. I was told that they only received 3 of the 4. I told them to verify the weight of the bag with 4 bras and then the weight of the bag with only 3 and they would see that they were wrong. It took them 2 months to tell me they only verified 3 and basically said sorry there is nothing we can do to refund you the $45 (of course they lost the most expensive of the bras). No wonder this company has only online stores now. I am filing a small claims to get my money back as well as a BBB complaint!

What happened?!
October 3, 2017

What happened to this company? They used to be my #1 go-to for bras that fit nicely and were plus size! I ordered a couple bras from them, all of which read as in-stock on their website and... Nothing... I waited and waited and finally got ONE of the bras. When I reached out to customer service they (very promptly, to be honest) informed me that the other bras I'd ordered were out of stock and they cancelled the remainder of the order.

While I appreciate actually getting my money back for the remainder of the unsent order, I don't really think it's a compliment to the company to say that I'm glad they didn't outright rob me. Why are items that are out of stock and apparently not being restocked (I wasn't even given an option to wait for the bras to come back in stock!) listed as available on the website? Do they have 2 people working there and they're too busy to update their database?

I want to love Frederick's. I have been a longtime fan of their items, so experiencing this and realizing that I flat-out cannot trust their website is a bummer.
I am giving them 2 stars because the bra they did end up sending to me fit nicely.

I used to love this company because they supported all sizes. Now they no longer carry plus sizes, so they will no longer get my money.

BEWARE!
August 31, 2017

I placed an order with this company. I NEVER received my item. I called customer service multiple times. They stated it will take a few weeks to look into my claim and see why I didn't receive my item! I'm so glad I did not spend a lot. I do not expect my item or a prompt refund. I wish I would have read these reviews before purchasing! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!

I placed a large order with Fredericks about a month before leaving on a trip. My first order was lost and after multiple conversations, phone calls and opening an official complaint, I still have not received it or been refunded.

Further, when I spoke with customer service last week, they suggested I place a second order while waiting for my refund on the first. I paid for overnight shipping so I would receive it in time for my trip. Well, it is now lost and they do not have a tracking # for it. I will not receive either order in time for my trip. And I have not reimbursed for either order at this point. Forget all the time wasted on this.

It is such a breach of trust for a brand to act in this way. Never ever ordering from this store again.

I can't say much about the products they sell since I'm still waiting for my order. I received another customer's order instead of the one I placed. I contacted customer service to find out what the process was. They requested I send a picture of the receipt of the wrong order and the tracking number. I sent that to them and heard nothing. 3 days later I sent another ticket in with a summary of what happened and the information requested. They responded the next day saying I didn't need that information and they sent me a label to return the items. I responded to find out when to expect my actual order. No response. (getting frustrated now) I sent a less than happy response saying that I would like my order sent out immediately or just refund me. They responded with please ship back the original order and we will ship out yours. Totally legit, but would have been nice to know the game plan FROM THE BEGINNING... anyways. I let them know that I had dropped it off that day. Since then, no response.

Poor return policy.
June 18, 2017

Since closing all their physical stores, you're forced to order lingerie online now. Sizes are diffcult to find the correct fit, which means ordering multiple sizes and returning what doesn't fit. I ordered 3 pieces and decided to return 2, paid for my own return shipping. Received my refund in about 2 weeks, but they charged me to use their return shipping label (which I never used). Had to email customer services for over a month, often times re-sending emails because I wouldn't get any response. Finally 2 months later, I was refunded the $5-6 return shipping charge. For a company that should expect returns quite frequently from customers, their process should be easier and more convenient for their customers. Wasn't extremely happy with my product purchase, either. Definitely will not be ordering from this company in the future. Too much of a hassle.

Hit and miss
March 21, 2017

I got a set of the Jessica bra, garter belt, and panties, all of which seem extremely well made. I also ordered some panties, however, that look like they'll fall apart before I can pull them up. In addition to that, all the thongs and gstrings I got are absurdly small and have either no lining or a ridiculously small lining about the size of my thumb. I'm so disappointed because I loved the ways the thongs looked in the pictures, but I can't imagine they'd fit any adult the way they're shown to fit.
