Rent the Runway Reviews (27)

I had an extremely bad experience with Rent the Runway! One of the bracelets I rented had a loose clasp so I accidentally lost itI contacted Rent the Runway and was told that they were going to charge me 200% of the retail value of the bracelet! 200%! I think that is extremely unethical to charge customers 200% of retail value of an item especially all their items are not even new, they are all usedI would not recommend using this company

I was so excited to rent a dress from rent the runway because they are so beautifulI rented one for a wedding and received it the day before the weddingI remember asking for sizes just in caseI got one size and it was way too small and I wasn't able to wear the dressThe next day I had some medical issues (private) and was not at home for a few daysI was not able to send the dress asap and was charged almost the full amount of the dress because it was lateI understand late policies but I was having medical issues and told them thatThey then said they would refund the $ no problemThen a week or so goes but I did not get any refundI emailed a customer service rep who said they can't give me a refund nowSo I reminded them I had some private medical issues and was not able to be home to send it and they asked for me to send my medical documentation (which I will not do because all of my information is private--hippa law)I'm just disappointed with this company now and do not feel I can rent anything else from them

I was an unlimited customer with Rent the Runway for nearly monthsA rented purse was stolen, which I had to pay forI emailed with their collections department and they provided me with a breakdown of chargesI spoke with them over the phone and authorized the chargeI was told I would receive a receipt but never didTwo months later, I requested a receipt to send to the State's Attorney's office prosecuting the case against the individual that stole the purseAt that time, I realized that I was charged more than I was toldIt showed as a late fee on the invoiceWhen I questioned this charge, I was told that I wasn't charged a late feeLuckily I still had the cost breakdown and indeed realized that it was higher than what I authorizedI was then told that they would refund my credit card approximately $for this chargeTwo weeks passed and I still did not receive a refundI called four times and was transferred around, told to call collections or that a manger would contact meNone of these things yielded a resolutionFinally, after insisting that I speak with a manger, I spoke with someone who said they would refund my cardI'm hoping it actually happens this timeHowever, I feel that these charges were fraudulent and more than just a mistake or oversightI would NEVER do business with this company again and warn others to think twice before doing so as well

I wish I had known what a bad business this was before I became a monthly subscriberUnlimited members are show an array of options to chose from, most of which are quickly not available to subscription membersFurther, processing time for subscription members is painfully slowI've also had significant errors with my order, of which included a dress without a topCustomer service is unhelpful

The customer, [redacted] , attempted to place an orderwith Rent the Runway on November [redacted] and*** On November**, 2014, the customerattempted to place an order seven timesSix of the seven attempts were in theamount of $One attempt was for $These orders were notsuccessfully processed because the customer’s credit card was declined duringcheckoutIn this particular instance, we reviewed the failed transactionsthrough Rent the Runway’s billing system, [redacted] and saw that each ofthese charges were declined due to the following reason:“Declined (Authorization with the card issuer wassuccessful but the transaction was declined due to an address or ZIP codemismatch with the address on file with the card issuing bank based on thesettings in the Merchant Interface.)”To summarize, the card was declined because the billing zipcode entered at checkout did not match the information that is associated withwhat that customer’s credit card company has on fileWhen a card is declinedat checkout, Rent the Runway immediately rejects the funds.What the customer is viewing on her statement is the customer’scredit card company holding the funds as pending transactionsThe credit cardcompany typically holds these funds for 3-business daysOnce the credit cardcompany recognizes that the transactions have been declined, the credit cardcompany releases the funds back onto the customer’s credit card Since Rent the Runway does not have any ofthe funds, we are unable to release the funds to the customer.The customer emailed Rent the Runway on November**, tonotify a customer service representative of these billing issues The representative let the customer know thather credit card was declined because her billing address did not match the cardon fileAfter some correspondence regarding the issue mentioned above, amanager at Rent the Runway sent the customer a screen shot of the declinedcharges.As of December*, 2014, Rent the Runway does not have any ofthe customer’s fundsAll eight charges were declined and the funds have eitherbeen released or need to be released by the customer’s bankOn December**, a Manager at Rent the Runway reachedout to the customer to see if all of the funds had been restored to thecustomer’s bank account
