Definitely!! One phone call to Gilt and I swear - they'll bend over backwards for you!
No, not by means of fraudlent or illegal actions, that is not part of business that's why there are consequences.Sorry to jump in here, but...yes. It's all about the money, bottom line. That's business.
I have not had this experience. Items are returnable for credit only. There has never been a time when I was offered the chance to have my cc credited. That must be rare.
That's interesting. Why do people not understand that those comments are not constructive and rude. I am an educated person. I know if I don't like a businesses practice, I will stop shopping there. That is why I have! You don't know until it happens!!!
What are you talking about? Complaining? I'm letting others know that a site that propones to have sales, doesn't. That's the point! How have I given them anymore business? You have no idea what you are talking about.
Because there was no indication on the site that it wasn't a sale. Gilt Groupe is a sale site. That's the point. Yes, they stated it was an exclusive look (which it wasn't because the pieces were available elsewhere on sale), but never mentioned that the prices were retail. When I pressed the customer service agent to show me where exactly on the site they mentioned it was not a sale, they could not.
If a store propones to be a discount store or a sale store, they should have sale prices. Its as simple as that.
I think a lot of people are missing the point here. Of couse a consumer has to be informed, but it is also incumbent upon a business to be honest and have honest business practices. If you hold yourself out as a sale site, then you should have sale prices, regardless. Otherwise, it's misrepresentation. Why do you think people get dupped into predatory lending? Why do you think the whole housing crisis happened? Can you blame consumers in these instances? Do you tell them "oh well, you should have been more informed." Those comments are ridiculous. That is why there are consumer protection laws, so consumers are protected and can reasonably rely on the representations of businesses.
The point is not that the ring wasn't the lowest price possible, but that it wasn't a sale price. Nowhere on the website did it say that the prices would not be discounted. Gilt is a sale website, you allegedly get insider prices for being a member, up to 70% discounts. If this was a different kind of sale, there should have been a conspicuous disclaimer infroming people as such. That's the point.
Yes, in that instance I would say that is a sale price. In my instance the MSRP for the ring was $95.00 and the Gilt price was $95.00. I would say that it is not a sale price.
Gilt has gotten way too expensive lately. Especially decorative and household items like rugs, dinnerware, etc.
I mean how anyone can spend $500 on a rug without seeing it in real life first and that item can not be returned or returned for store credit only. Just unrealistic.
Lately their handbag sales have prices higher than I can get on line at other places.
I think HauteLook got much better in sales and their pricing is very very decent. And Rue La La of course, very decent pricing, too bad you need to buy an item the minute you lay your eyes on it as there is no such thing as reserve for 10-15 min in the cart on Rue La La.

If this isnt hypocritical. You bought the item knowing that a term and condition of buying on that site is that you receive store credit. Yet you requested that you be refunded to your credit card because in your opinion, alleged misrepresentation. Pot...kettle...black...
OP, you are seriously getting out of control here. First off, re-read her post. You say that you are "educated," then act like it. "Alleged?" Get real. If she felt that the items were misrepresented (IE wrong measurement, etc.) then that is her business.
You coming back to this thread to attack every single person who has so much as disagreed with you is baffling to me. In fact, why this thread is continuing is baffling to me. You don't like Gilt's prices, you won't be shopping there. Ok, it's understood. But you have zero right to come back and lash out at every person who has uttered a single word in disagreement.
If anyone is out of control it's you. Look at the things you write, and then you act as if you have done nothing wrong. You came into a thread that I started and interject yourself into things that don't concern you. When I feel something is "misrepresented" (which is the point of the thread) I'm told by you and others "oh well, don't shop there." However, when I point out hypocrisy in her statements, I'm attacked. How are my above statements uneducated? I have every right to express my opinion in a thread that I started in an open forum. What is truly baffling is why you continue to come back and launch insults. If you have an issue with something I say, I suggest you PM me rather than to continue making this a public display.
