Extremely Disappointed – Unacceptable Customer Experience and Ongoing Refund Issue
I am appalled by my experience with Ann Taylor and feel compelled to share it to warn other customers. On April 18, 2025, I purchased an item ($39.50, item #38311888) and returned it the very next day, April 19, in perfect condition — unworn, unwashed, with tags and receipt — fully compliant with the company’s 30-day return policy.

I was teasing her if she still wear the outfit if not they can go to donation. My daughter said i’m going to keep it for Souvenir mom. I think my kids’ generation can still wear my...
Read moreSo incredibly rude to customers. I had several items in my hands and an employee with short brown hair asked if I wanted to get a fitting room, I said no thanks. She stomped off in a huff. When I did finally go to check out ($300 purchase by the way) she refused to say anything to me. Not. A. Word. I said thanks, have a great day and she rolled her eyes and walked away. I ended up returning my entire purchase the next day. I won’t support Ann...
