Inconsistent Styles, Poor Service

The first shipment I received from UrbaneBox consisted of a great polo and a pair of pants that did not fit. Satisfied at this point, I put in a request to get the pants replaced and sent them back.

The second box consisted of a gray V-neck tee and a button-down with a palm leaf print that looks more like something my dad would wear than the style information I sent them. At this point, it's been six weeks since I sent the pants back and have heard or received nothing about them. So, while there is an option to send it back for another item, the combination of my poor experience with my previous return and an additional fee on exchanges for unwanted items mean it's better for me to cut my losses than to bother trying to exchange it.

In summary, after two boxes and $120, I've added a polo and a V-neck to my wardrobe.

I LOVE this subscription

I LOVE this subscription! Every month I get super cute, quality fashion items valued at way more than I pay!
I also love getting a surprise in the mail and since I love the clothing, I think I'm getting a great deal.

Quite possibly the worst experience…

Quite possibly the worst experience I've had with a company. I ordered the first box with a $30 off incentive. I only received two products, one of which was not in the right size. I sent it back using the return label. Over three weeks later, I'm waiting on my product. So, I decided to cancel my account. After three emails, I successfully canceled my account. Then, I received an additional $30 for canceling (I suppose since it was never disclosed to me. I only saw it on the credit card statement). Awful customer service and shady business practices.

Wish I could give urbanebox ZERO stars

Wish I could give urbanebox ZERO stars! I received three items. I kept one shirt. They sent me a really heavy ugly black bag, an item I communicated to them I don’t need. (I let them know I did not need any bags). They sent another shirt in a color I asked them to avoid. I could not exchange these items since I don’t have a subscription. I thought I’d try one “box” first before becoming a member. It’s so not worth the hassle. You would think they would just TRY to keep me as a customer.....
There is absolutely no customer service, you can only send them an email. I sent an email two weeks and have not heard anything back. They did send me a return label but they refuse to exchange what I didn’t want. They have no phone number. Horrible, unsustainable business model. I’ve tried many other clothing subscriptions. The best are Stitchfix, Trendsend, and Trunk Club.

Hi Suzie,

We are sorry you weren't happy with the boxes. It appears the bag was just sent as a free item. We do allow returns for exchange of sizes, free shipping. However, if you just want to swap out the clothes you do have to pay for the shipping cost. This is due to our very low price of $60, vs TRUNKCLUB or StitchFix, in which their boxes are over $300. It's such a large markup for them they include free shipping. Our box is a fraction of their cost. In order to keep our price low for other customers, any exchanges for different items we ask the customer to just cover the shipping cost. If it's just for different sizes, we cover the shipping cost. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Update: We have not received any emails under Suzie Greer, or have any order history under that name. Could you provide a order number so we can better assist?

Thank you!

Not really that good.

*still waiting! but now I'm getting email invites to become a member again.

*update 2 still waiting on my exchanged package. Over 15 months now.

*update customer service will not help as a member but will offer your money back if you write a bad review then change your review. Almost 5 months and still waiting on size exchange.

I have been a Five Four Club/Menlo House member for a few year. I decided to try something new with Urbane. The experience was awful. First, the sizes are significantly too small. If you try this service go up at least two sizes from other brands or off the rack. My first box did not fit. After requesting an exchange and return, I did get a return shipping label and requested a bigger size. Unfortunately by the time this was all handled my next month box was already in process with the wrong size. I then received my next month box (obviously did not fit due to original size too small) and then the exchange arrived. Again the exchange was too small (even at the exchanges bigger size). This is not just maybe a little to snug due to the shirts cut but I can barely get my arms into the shirt and close the shirt to button it. Now with 2 outfits in no way can fit me. I contact and ask to cancel my membership. Of course, I was told that could not happen as I missed the monthly cancellation deadline and my package was on the way and refunds were not allowed. I decided try and exchange my second box for another option (paying $15 extra dollars) and still have not received. To recap: $165 spent, not one item that can’t fit me, 3 shirts that are basically all the same, a package still not exchanged, and a company not really interested in helping fix the problem. I would not recommend this place at all.

Bad Experience

EDIT: After posting my review, about an hour later customer service emailed me to "make things right" and offered either a free box or a refund. I've opted for the refund and updated the stars on my review as I appreciate the quick response from customer service and their willingness to change the experience.

Signed up and received a box full of complete crap (jeans that were stapled together and totally unwearable without ripping them apart, a shirt that would fit a child in a hideous pattern and awful material, and a weird little bag that seemed to serve no purpose other than smell like mildew. After cancelling, i was charged a cancellation fee. Total rip off and not worth the try.

Good customer service

Their customer service team is really great to work with. When I wanted to exchange a couple items, they made sure to reach out to me via email and make things right. Not all companies do this, and I do appreciate that they're putting customers first.

Revised review

I am updating my initial review. Immediately after posting my review I was contacted by UrbaneBox staff. They offered to make things right with a refund or replacement. That’s fair.

I cancelled the day i received my first…

I am editing this for a problem I had, CS reached out to me and resolved the issue. I still think for a company today, there should be a better contact method than having to resolve things through facebook messages.

Hello Jesse

Your cancellation request was submitted on March 16 and your subscription was charged on March 10. In order to cancel or skip the month, members are required to submit their request before they are charged. We just sent you an email to help resolve the matter.

We apologize for the confusion.

No returns whatsoever

These clothes are cheaply made Chinese imported clothes. They even arrive in foreign wholesaler packaging. Quality is average. Mostly dislike that if you don’t like an item you absolutely can’t return it. Poor option for customers. Canceled after my first box due to this policy.

Hello Lisa,

Thank you for your review, as we use them to improve our service. Regarding returns we do offer and accept returns. For exchanges of size it's free and provide shipping both ways. However, there is a $15 shipping fee if you want to exchange for different items. This helps prevent people from using the clothes then trying to return them. It also helps keep the cost at only $60 a month. Many similar subscription services or styling services are quite higher.

Regarding the quality, we inspect all clothing quality before we send out to our customers. We want to send good quality clothing at affordable pricing. We are always getting samples from manufacturers and brands prior to doing business with them to ensure quality. We will continue to strive to improve our service as we grow.

Don't waste your money!

I got a box for Black Friday for a great discount. The cancellation date for my second box came and went before my first box shipped, which seemed like a dumb policy. I complained and they refunded my account for the month. My first box came and I did not like one item and the other item did not fit. I asked for an exchange of the item which did not fit, which was granted, but it took almost a month to process. Their underhanded policy is that they don't ship your exchange back if your account is canceled, so I had to get another box just to get the shirt I liked back in the correct size. Get the "exchange" and it is a completely different item, not a size exchange like I was promised. Second box comes and items do not fit. If I tried to exchange them for the correct size, I'd be on the hook for a 3rd box, so now I am stuck with 4 items that either don't fit or I don't like. This site is a total scam and I do not recommend them at all.
