Ever New

Went today with my bridal party to find dresses. We are very easy low key women so it was nice to have some space to try on the dresses we liked. The staff was accommodating. To our shock as this was the first store we walked into we found the dresses we liked! Hooray! We figured we would still look around, grab a bite to eat and circle back to grab the dresses as we were sure we found “the ones” When we brought them to the front cash asking if we can have them held for us for a few hours we were met with the rudest staff interaction, she practically rolled her eyes to the back of her head not to mention the distain in her voice when she ask us rudely “For how long?!” We handed over the dresses stating for a few hours and walked out. I will not spend my money in a shop that treats me like I’m a hassle. My wedding party and I chose to look elsewhere. Thank good we did!! We found that the Bay sells the same brand!! For a better price! We lucked out, found the EXACT same dresses for almost half the price! KARMA, Ever New KARMA.

I went to this store today , they weren’t ready to let the customer try anything also one lady don’t know her name was really rude and gave bland answers also said no for everything without even making any efforts . I just want to let her know this store isn’t luxury or out of budget of a common person , people do buy it from here. Her attitude was very much like this person won’t buy or can’t buy so she shouldn’t let the customer try it on . I believe it was too expensive for her which made her think so .

Not one effort of acknowledgement. Two staff members talking behind counter ignoring everyone and letting people walk in and out of fitting rooms. Me and another shopper looked at each other totally confused if we should just let yourselves in or not and good luck getting help for something. You're on your own here.

the staff member who helped me return my dresses was very nice and helpful

I came into the store looking for an outfit for a birthday Party. I received excellent customer service from the moment I stepped in. The sales associate listened to my tastes and found several options for me to try on. She was incredibly friendly and personable. She was relaxed and really did an excellent job making suggestions that really suited what I was looking for. I ended up buying an amazing dress. I was so pleased throughout the entire experience. The staff are courteous, welcoming, respectful, and have fabulous style. I look forward to shopping there again when I'm in town again.

Unpleasant experience as store associate stated items could be refunded if the ordered item did not work out, however backed out on that when I did attempt to return the ordered item that was too small.

Excellent customer service. I had called this location hoping for a description of a dress before ordering online since there's no location close to my home that where I could see myself. The staff member searched the whole store for me and even had me email a picture. She spent several minutes on the phone with me and finally found the dress and was able to describe the fabric for me. I am very impressed with the customer service I received - the employee easily could have said that she couldn't find the dress and given up.

Similar to some other reviews, it seems there is a pattern when returning items. I had a similar experience as Foodie C. 10 days ago my aunt who is in a wheelchair bought a dress from the Burnaby store. As she had to try it at the comfort of her home due to being in a wheelchair, I had to return in 11 days later as it was small. Although we were told we can return it within 14 days, yesterday the same person who sold us the dress stated that the tag was now in a different location on the dress and can't return it. When looking at the same dress on the rack, there was no tag on the dress at all and had no explanation for that. This is extremely poor and accusatory customer service. They went to extent of reviewing security footage after I created a scene at the store and they came back confirming I was right. "security footage confirmed location of tag on the dress". They did process the refund with no apology or any remorse for their extremely poor customer service. Never experience anything like it.

Wow. What a disappointing experience… I’m buying a dress for a gala in California and was excited to see some of the items that I had previously looked at online. The talent shortage is real in this town: Your sales associate brown hair, glasses and short/ medium set was rude, dismissive and not engaged. After spending 10 minutes in the store helping myself I approached her for a change room. She gave me a blank look, paused and was extremely condescending and her response. I ended up walking out of the store. Shame on you… Do better. Your job is customer service.

Bought some dresses from the Pacific Centre location and wanted to return and exchange some of them here because I live in metro. First moment when I tell that sales about it, her eyes started staring at me like I shouldn't be returning and exchanging anything to them. As I take the first dress out of the shopping bag, she says that it cannot be returned in a harshly tone because their store doesn't have that item. I was fine with that but doubted it because the sales at the Pacific Centre location told me that I can return or exchange in any location and I've even asked them if I could do it in the metrotown location and she said yes. Then she started to rush and grab the clothes to check herself even though I haven't finished my sentence about which clothes are for exchange and which are for return. I wanted to help her organize the dress so that she can see the dress as a whole and check if her store has that item. She didn't seem appreciated but kept doing it herself like my hands are not supposed to be touching the dress. Then she saw some white skin flakes on the inner side of the black dress, saying that she cannot resale that item because no one would like to see skin flakes even in the inner side of the dress. I told her that I have only tried it on at home and never worn it out. She didn't brother trying to pad the skin flakes off and then threw it on the side.... I mean, isn't it normal to have some skin flakes on the inner side of a black dress? And how many customers have already tried it on already? Fine. At the end of the day I can just return the third item. She said twice that that item can be returned because the condition is okay. She apologized that I cannot return the black dress but I didn't see the attitude. But never mind already lol. She never had any accommodating attitude since I first talked to her. So I never did the exchange with my fourth dress, and because it seem like she just wanted to finish off the return procedures quickly and never see me again. Now I just want to go back to the Pacific Centre location for anything else possible.
