I am so furious with this fucking rip off merchant I cannot even talk

Their clothes are shit quality

Their clothes are not designer. They are at best by a design student

Their clothes are over priced

And their staff are scripted little robotic pricks

None of its really my cup of tea but the odd nice thing.

What happened?

1234ThumbScrew · 13/12/2010 18:29

I quite like All Saints, am a tad too large and too old for it though.

ricketyrock · 13/12/2010 18:30

cheap wildly expensive tat

Their clothes look like old rags that have been used as wiping up cloths.

DH bought me a coat which was terribly made, terribly designed and horrifically fitted (£250)

Because signed up to get a credit agreement thing he got £50 off (20%) - so paid £ 200 on the All Saints Mastercunt

Tried to return it today for a refund

One and a half hours later, they would only give me a £200 gift card. No refund. Despite it being a shit coat, overpriced, badly made and generally not fit for purpose.

A refund was at the manager's discretion and the little bearded arsehole would not even deign me with his presence to come and talk to me and left his robotic prick ridden staff to recite the same sentences over and over.

And the gift card should be £ 250, they have robbed me of the discount by signing up for their shitting fucking card. They really could not get it.

Oh god I'm glad it's not just me!

It looks like the costume department from Kevin Costner's Waterworld to me.

ladyblablah, I had exactly the same outcome. I bought a dress from there which in a moment of madness thought it looked quite nice (what was I thinking paying £95 for a lycra dress?) anyway being mrs indecisive thought I'd take it back for a refund...... 8 months on and only just found something to use my gift card for. A jersey dress, its nice and a nice fit but no way worth £65.
I now have the remaining credit to use up "you have a year" said an orange shop boy who was about 13 years old. I have sympathy for you

ShatnersBassoon · 13/12/2010 18:52

I think they made the right decision. The manager should have had the balls to speak to you though.

The right decision Shatners? For a start they have ripped me off for £ 50.

If I wanted to replace the £250 coat with another £ 250 coat, I couldn't

That is a fucking rip off in anyone's book

It was bought last Thursday.

Their returns policy states that if it is not to satisfactory quality then you are entitled to a refund.

Well it wasn't.

It was chosen because it looked very nice on a picture on the Internet - a fitted trench coat style. But when it was tried on at home, genuinely it was the worst fit of a coat I have ever seen. Essentially it was a triangle sack shaped piece of cloth with a belt (no belt holders) wrapped around it so at the back and sides you got massive gathered bits of fabric. There is no way the look advertised can be achieved without some serious pinning at the back. The girl who served me agreed it was a fucking hideous shape.

The refund was at the manager's discretion. He didn't allow me the pleasure of hearing his opinion personally.

They are shite. And the Newcastle shop looks like the costume room of the Shawshank Redemption. I'm sure Ronnie Barker wore All Saints clothes in Porridge.
And don't get me started on those stupid Victorian boots that are 'trendy'.

The point about the £ 250 / £200 is that they have wiped out any discount. And the discount that was given was negotiated and agreed (on a discretionary basis) at the point of sale. It is not standard to get 20% discount on opening the card, just something the manager agreed to on the day ( different store)

The gift card should entitle me to purchase an item of the same value, and it doesn't.

If you paid £200, then they will only give you £200 back.

I am sorry that you got a shit coat and a load of grief though Sad
