coupons and customer service
Hi,
I just got home and I am so upset and disappointed.
My family and I just came from bath and body works located at Lake Jackson, Texas, we went shopping for hand soaps ( sale $2.75 ) and a body cream ($13). I got my some coupons, one of the them was 20%off on entire purchase (this coupon I got it through mail), other coupon was free item with $10 purchase (this coupon I got it from my mail).
I was going to buy 4 bottles of hand soap, one body cream, and $1 Christmas hat accessorie. I wanted to use my 20% off and get my free item coupon, but cashier said I could not use both coupons in same transaction, I always use them like that, but she didn't even try to scan them. She refuse to scan both coupons in same transaction, I even explained to her that I have use coupons online like this and it always works, she refused to try, even when I asked her nicely and many times, worst part is that I went shopping to get relax, and my blood pressure went high, I left mad, sad, and disappointed. I can't upload pictures but I have my coupons here.

customer service
Made an online purchase of 28 items. Merchandise arrived today. Merchandise left at front door. When I opened it, the box was full of glass. Several of the candles were shattered, glass was everywhere in the box. Several of the pump soaps had glass and holes in them..They obviously were not usable. My order was 28 pieces. There was 26 of the pieces that I had ordered and an invoice someone else's order and their order was not in the box. I called customer service, waited 41minutes to find out if I could return it to the store and if I had to bring back just the damaged merchandise and the invoice. Associate asked for the invoice # and when I gave it to her she said was not enough. I repeated it to more times and she it wasn't a good #. I asked her if she could look it up and she said no. I said what should do? Take / or send back the order with the glass everywhere. She hung up on me
Placed an order for 28 pieces on line for gifts. Arrived today. Box sounded like broken glass. Delivered when I wasn't t home. Opened to find 5 broken glass in tops of pump soap and not the right number of pieces. I also received an invoice for someone else order . It had 1 piece on the invoice but the item was not in the box. It was packed very poorly with loose candles and loose fragrance. Called customer service . Waited 41 minutes to speak to someone on the phone. Asked if I could take items to store to exchange them Asked if I had to bring all items in because it saws a big mess. Was told my order number number had two more numbers in it she could Not look it up I started to yell about what should I do about it and she hung up on me.I have been a Limited brands manager and that isn't how we talk to people
Maybe you could tell what to do?
scented candle
I recently purchased a Island Margarita Candle and a beautiful candle holder from bath and body works, but the candle caught on fire and burst inside of the candle holder. Wax was everywhere!. I am so shocked that this happened. If I was too close to the candle, I would have caught on fire with the candle. It was very scary. I think a warning label should be placed on the candle holders that are being sold because if the heat from the candle gets too hot, the candle glass will break and cause the wax to drip into the bottom of the metal candle holder and cause a fire due to the heat. I have to repaint the entire area where the candle was burning since wax went everywhere!
I am too scared to buy another candle from Bath and Body Works.
overcharged
today 12-06-15 I went to bath and body in the prien lake mall. I had a coupon that says free Item with the purchase of $10.00 or more. Any Item up to $13.00 or more. Well I got two Items both were half price and still it should have been a total of $14.75. I got an item which cost $16.50 which should have been free right. Wrong she only took half off one of the half price item and used the other one for my free and charged me the full price and discounted the free one $3.33. What should have been a purchase of $15.00 was a purchase of $21.63 it does not seem like much but when you have a budget for Christmas you need all can get. Did not notice of course until I got home and I live 40 minutes away . Should not have to make another trip these people should know how to do coupons Or atleast tell the customer what she is doing.
wallflower air freshener/fragrance
Dear Bath and Body Works Representative,
I woke up to find a wallflower had tipped over (unstable bottom) on my dining room table and removed the finish from a 2" x 14' area. It had been unplugged from my kitchen while the contractor was regrouting my tile countertop.
I used my bare hands to clean the product up (table still sticky) and realized my skin was irritated. I called poison control immediately and they said the wallflower was a dermal irritant. Your packaging does not warn against this.
I have copied the NC Attorney General's Office and would like restitution for my table top and possibly any medical bills from the dermal irritant. My skin is still irritated and will hopefully heal soon. Please send any advice about cleaning the table or my skin.
I purchased the wall flowers and had it in one of my rooms, the scent was so strong I had to take it out of the room and laid it on my dresser, not knowing that it would leak it ruined my very expensive triple dresser! there is nothing on the item to say not to lay it down cause it might leak. Now I am getting estimates to refinish my furniture and they want $475 to repair the top of my dresser. What the heck is in this product that it should cause so much damage, and not only that what the heck are we breathing in!. Bath and body works should put warnings on their products, and they should be paying for my furniture to be repaired
they mixed orders and didn't refund on time
I bought two body creams from the company www.bathandbodyworks.com. I got them on time, but these idiots mixed the creams. They delivered cream with the smell of nuts, but I have allergy. I immediately returned the order. I told the seller that it was unprofessional and they needed to check all order, but they didn’t reply and still haven’t refunded me. I will never again buy from them.
they provided almost empty bottles
I ordered 4 creams from www.bathandbodyworks.com. I would say that the products are overcharged a little bit, but it was affordable. I thought that the company was professional and there wouldn’t be any problems, but I was mistaken. They overcharged me and provided almost empty bottles. I was disappointed in such services. It isn’t appropriate for such company to provide such awful services.
new return policy
I just decided to never purchase a gift at Bath and Body Works again. The two store store that I shop in Elk Grove Village and Scaumburg, IL, have a new return policy and use an outside contractor to track returns
I had to make returns for various reasons, changed mind, defective product, etc. After 6 returns, I received a warning that I could not make a return for 90 days. What a total insult after spending $200.00 at Bath and Body Works in the year 2011.
Honestly, there products are not a great quality. With the competition as it is, I hope there two stores close.
offer not honored
I put three orders for body lotions (cream) -55 bottles- in its web page and all three were cancelled without any explanation. Company didn´t want to honored its offer of 75% off and then changed offer to only 50% off. I made my order on time. It is not fair.
Thanks
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Just ignore her she is a little girl that is trolling and wants attention.
Sorry nevermind, it was not you who sent the private message, it was someone named moldest.
"Maybe instead of blaming your parents, we should blame your ignorance of the English language.
"
Says the person who does not know how to spell "crazy"
Just so you know in some cultures it is rude to call a grown woman "girl" Anyways before making fun of anyone's English learn how to spell it is crazy, not cwazy. Maybe drug abuse made you not know this?
As for parents get a life.
You know what I am not five years old NoThankQ and I don't need you to be acting as my mother defending me from Blame the Parents here. I can fight my own battles.
And blame the parents here, I agree with you that calling fully grown women as girls is rude but get a life. Why argue with someone who cannot even spell "crazy"
Two years ago I had this issue, I found out I was mistaken, but I have two teenagers arguing with each other because their are too ignorant to stay on topic.
Wow, you people have no life. I cannot believe you are arguing on this website. Both blame the parents and NoThankQ have no life.
I agree with blame the parents here that calling an adult woman a girl is pretty rude. However I should have made an update about this. It turned out that some of the items were 50 percent off and some of the items were 75 percent off. I only found this out after I went to the store again, and found out that if it had a blue tag on it only then it was 75 percent off.
Blame the parents get a life, and respond to the person posting the review instead of attacking a commenter.
NoThankQ,
I am not a child, I don't need you to defend me like I am a five year old. You may feel good inside defending me, but seriously I don't need you to feel sorry for me and defend me. Also before you go around saying that his English is not proper learn how to spell "crazy" because telling someone their English is not proper is then making mistakes in spelling makes you look foolish. Also the drug reference you both use is offensive, because my friend got mixed up with drugs in the early 80's. NothankQ you may be thinking you are trying to help me with that comment but it is more offensive.
Both of you need to get a life and stop arguing with each other. You are both obviously teenagers.
Both of you are "crazy".
Well since you are obviously younger than me I(judging from your behavior) I will call you girl. Sending rude Private messages with profanity because of an online disagreement makes you immature.
I don't think you read my comment properly. If this person does not now the difference between a lady and a girl chances are they misread the sign. Perhaps you are the one abusing the drugs if you failed to see this simple point. I seriously doubt companies hire children.
Are you sure you got the right price Kwaze, after all if you don't even know the difference between a girl and a woman then perhaps you don't know the difference between 55 cents and $3. Chances are if you don't know the difference between girl and woman you were wrong.
I went to bath and body works in Ingram mall in San Antonio 1 of the shower gels rang up at .55 cents this one girl asked another girl if that was correct so then they start talking about it and decide all by themselves that they were gonna change the price to $3 due to policy and where's the policy that shows u can't sell a product that rings up at .55 they probably wanted to keep it for themselves I told them I didn't want it because they kept switching the prices on it is a Semiannual sale! I'm not asking for the item to be free just honor me the price the system is saying
poor customer service
I have had poor service from your company site. I placed a order, got confirmation that it was in stock then 4 days later, I received cancellation. This store fails to stock products of high demand. When the product line is mentioned to any staff, on line or in store, they all say it is a very popular line. It is not available, why? I think it is because you place these particulars in stores on line with a huge price mark up, over and above non sale retail. I would think you would value product reviews and carry what is popular and sought after...SHAME ON YOU!
I called customer support because I had used and stacked coupons in store and decided to order more but online it would not let me so I asked why she said 2 totally different systems which is awful when you should be able to just like at the store and then I send can I speak to a supervisor and she hung up on me and I never was rude I just wanted my deals.
bathtub stain
We have been using BBW shower Gel in our fiberglass bathtub for 13 years. Gradually, it developed a yellow stain that matches the color dye in their Vanilla Shower Gel (note the stain IS NOT bathtub ring ... it is on all surfaces where water sits). Vanilla has been shower gel of choice for all these years. After contacting their corporate Customer Service Supervisor we were pleased with her promptness and attention to our 'issue'. However, once she learned that we were not seeking damages, we were pushed aside ... sigh ...
If anyone else has had stain issues with BBW products, please contact me at tomweissXXyahoo.com (replace XX with @) Use subject BBW complaint. Please include your name and state. If we can muster enough (valid) complaints, perhaps we can get their attention.
Gaucho-Um are you responding to the correct complaint? What are you complaining about?
I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH THIS POS FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE ONE MORE TO GO BEFORE I CAN CHANGE, IT HAS BEEN A POS SINCE DAY ONE, I SHOULD HAVE RESEARCHED THIS DECISION BETTER AND CAREFULLY.
THE WORST POS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!
If you had noticed this sooner I'm sure it could have been avoided gradually.
product leaking on furniture
I received a Bath & Body Works Wallflower as a gift from a co-worker a couple of weeks ago. I plugged the unit in the wall and the smell was so strong that my husband complained about it. I then took the unit out of the wall and laid it on my bedroom vanity. A couple of days later, I was bothered by the strong smell so I moved it to my guest bedroom and...
Read full review of Bath & Body Works Direct and 67 commentscoupon mess up
Well I had a 'Get a free item with any $10 purchase' Coupon, and to make up the $1o I got 3 travel sized items at $5 each, put there is a deal for 3 for $10, so I got those. I did not bring the free item I was going to choose up to the checkout counter, and the cashier redeemed my coupon and said that 2 of the things totaled up to $10 and I get the 3rd one free, but really the deal is 3 for $10 on travel sized items, then I was going to get a full-sized lotion for my free item. I was guessing the cashier was new, despite the fact that she was not aware of the travel sized deal, and I had to show her all the signs and it took her 10 minutes to realize and let me go get a free item! It really bugged me!
The cashier should have known what the sale was for the travel sized items, but why wouldnt you take the free item to the cash register? They would have just made you get out of line to get the free item anyways...
I just had an issue with their $10 off of $40 purchase online. My purchase totaled exactly $40 and it took the $10 off, but after the order was processed, a screen popped up saying two of the items were no longer available. When I hit the button to complete the order, the total was for a little over $38, but then after the thing popped up saying the two items weren't available, it was close to $48 and that's what they charged my card. Because the items weren't available, my total was under $40 and I didn't get the $10 off. This is not right at all. The only reason I spent that much was because I had the $10 off coupon. Every other site tells you before processing your order if an item is no longer available, but they do not. Had I known it wasn't available, I would have picked out other things to make the order over $40. I called them to complain and was told there was nothing they could do about it & that they couldn't cancel the order. I've spend a lot of money with them over the years and will NEVER shop with them again, either online or in the store, after this.
not only did they fail to give the promised item, but they then fished for more money from me
I recently went to Bath and Body works where they had a buy three get two free sale. I provided my receipt to the clerk. She rang it up. I had a lot of things to do this day so I hurriedly finished my errands and went home. Upon arriving home I discovered that they only rang up four of my five items and had not given me a free item. I called the store and was put on hold repeatedly. Finally, I logged on and submitted a complaint via the internet and even provided them with a store location and receipt number for verification. I was told to call for a one on one discussion. Upon calling I spoke to a woman named Denise who advised me that she would send me a $10.00 gift certificate so that I could buy the free item that they failed to ring up. Three weeks later I received a buy one get one free coupon. Not only did they fail to give the promised item, but they then fished for more money from me.
Loyal I would find their phone number to that store and complain about her. If you still have the receipt, it should have the cashiers information (emp number, name, etc). I am not one to do complaining to a manager but if a employee treated me like that you bet I would have complained. If you dont want to call I know if you go on their fan page on facebook and post the complaint onto the wall they might help you there. Just a thought. Good luck. To cormille-did they end up sending you the gift card?
I encountered the worst sales person ever at a store in Columbus Georgia. Her name was Stephanie and I don't think she likes working for Bath and Body Works. She single handledly ruined my shopping experience. She was very dry, she didn't speak to me when I came in and it was like she was reading a script when I was checking out. Afterward she shoved my merchandise at me in a "hurry up and leave kind of fashion."I love the products and I would hate to discontinue shopping there. Please make necessary adjustments to the staff at the Whittlesey Blvd store. Thanks.
serious eye injury
I splashed a minute amount of this product--watered down--into my eye. Two weeks later I am still being treated for a chemical burn which has done significant damage to my eye. There are NO warnings on the bottle of any kind to say that this product could do this. No phone numbers to call--nothing. I rinsed immediately with water but the damage was done. I have been through two weeks of agony and may be facing permanent damage to my eye. This stuff is DANGEROUS.
it is abrasive. i would assume that is what caused the problem
why I haven't I recieved my card?
I had recieved an email stating that i could win an FREE $500 gift card from Bath & Body Works. All you have to do is jus do the requirements & that I did. I did eveything that i was required to do. What I don't understand is if I spent my money doing the suvery as it was asked in which i did. Now why haven't I recieved an email stating that my FREE $500 Gift Card will be shipped to me in 6-8 weeks? I would like to either get my money back for the survey that ive completed or send me my FREE $500 Gift Card
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
changed product
You had a wonderful Creamy Bath Wash which you have replaced with triple cream cleanser which does not lather, burns the mucosa (if you know what I mean) and does not wash off. It is more cream than soap. Sorry you just lost me as a loyal customer unless you bring back the Creamy Bath Wash!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Unfortunately I do not think they read these messages? I know if you go onto facebook and post somewhere on their wall they should respond there.
caused health problems
I recently bought a Wallflower pluggable fragrance set from Bath and Body works during their Semi annual sale. I came home and put it in my bedroom hoping to get a nice fragrance all day long. But instead it filled my bedroom with this smell which made feel nauseous and I had watery eyes. I opened the window in my room thinking it must be something else but...

Placed order on Bath & Body Words website on 11/10/08. I ordered a Black Shave Gel. It was advertised that with any purchase you would receive a free full size after shave. I never received it.
