I won't be buying from them again. Very poor customer service - in fact an absence of customer service. Expensive item, no response and no tracking details provided

Lengthy wait for refund

The Iconic clearly has an issue with refunding purchases - don't buy from this site if you might need to return something. I received an email from them that my return had been received and since then it's been 3 weeks with no refund!

Great online store

I've been a customer of this online retail establishment for as long as I can remember. I say, I have no problem dealing with this online store. It always exceeded my expectations. Their customers are topnotched, responsive and on time, products are quality made, and when I have items for return, they see fit to act on it right away, replete with return envelope and instruction.

All in all, I am fully satisfied with their products and services. Well done.

Abysmal customer service

Abysmal customer service. When you need to get hold of "a real" person its impossible. I've literally spent all day on hold and still didnt get thru to anyone. And to make it worse they gave me the option of pressing 2 for a call back but all that did was keep me on hold. Also sent multiple emails over the last week and haven't heard from then. Very disappointed

Don’t buy from The Iconic

Issue after issue. They have refunded one item only, when it was packaged with another. No constructive response to comms for nearly a month, I have contacted them multiple times with their customer service team saying they’ll help, but then disappearing. The worst customer service and online retail experience I have ever had. Be prepared to be out of pocket if you send items back. Even got referred to their “senior” customer experience agent who was rude and said I shouldn’t expect a response on their chat function as it wasn’t actually a chat function.. lol. Told me to treat it like an email and expect a response in a few days, then also disappeared (still waiting to hear back from the 3rd November). Thanks Ian (Senior customer services).

Gone to the Pack. Lost My Order.

I've been a long time user of The Iconic but support and service has slid dramatically. Ordered with express upgrade on the 8 November for a dress for an event this week. Money charged and order number issued. I didn't receive an email confirmation and after no express post notification, logged into the account to check on shipping status. My order was not in the account. Took over 24 hrs for a support response only for them to tell me the order wasn't made as my card declined (it didn't). Clearly no one even looked at the order number I gave. I sent a snapshot of the order confirmation page from their website and also a snapshot from my credit card. Only then would they acknowledge the order. They told me the order now couldn't be picked and packed and refunded the order.. I still don't have the refund and now can't get an alternative in time.

Support gave lazy answers instead of investigating what was clearly a large website issue experienced over the weekend. No explanation. No apology. No thanks for wasting over three hours of my time trying to resolve. I don't actually think that I was dealing with a real human - rather a bot!

Never again!

Terrible after sales support.

Terrible after sales support.
No number to call, hard to find the contact section on their website.

They advertised a hat for sale,
when it arrived it was in the wrong colour.
I sent it back and received confirmation that that they had received it.
Over 2 weeks later the refund request still hasn't been processed.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. Very long delivery time and when the item arrived it was NOTHING like the jacket that was advertised. Totally wrong colour and cheap nasty quality. Avoid at all costs

The Iconic Australia

If we’re referring to the iconic Australia, it’s the best shop I’ve ever bought from. Online shopping and app makes your purchase so easy. Amazing and competitive prices. Top notch! Loving it. My first choice!

Generally a good experience however I am still awaiting a refund on a return that was confirmed as received by Theiconic 2 weeks ago. Customer service phone line keeps you holding for 20 minutes before hanging up the line. Very frustrating. The chat bot is also frustrating and more or less useless. Did nothing I couldn’t have done to email them directly myself. Disappointed.

The Iconic- Not a pleasant shopping experience




This was my first order with The Iconic, and unfortunately, it will also be my last. Although the StarTrack status shows the parcel as delivered, I want to clarify that I have not received it. The shipment address is my office, where we handle regular pickups and drop-offs daily as part of our retail business, so I am very familiar with the delivery process.

In our own business, we often deal with couriers marking parcels as delivered when they are either lost in transit or mistakenly delivered to the wrong address. In such cases, we always take responsibility and compensate our customers. I expected the same level of accountability from a large and reputable brand like The Iconic, and I am very disappointed by this experience.

Their customer service is shocking

Their customer service is shocking. They take an hour to respond to a simple enquiry. I have had an item I returned lost at the warehouse. I have also had items returned in the same bag, with some refunded and some not refunded until a week or two later or not at all, and after following up with their painful customer service.
Love the free returns, it’s the only reason I still shop there. But definitely don’t use it as often given how must hassle it can be when the returns are made or to get into contact with them.

Avoid purchasing expensive items

Usually love ordering with the Iconic as their delivery and returns are super quick.
Warning: if you return something over $500 be prepared to wait weeks for your refund. I returned something over 4 weeks ago and still waiting. Their CS just said high value items go through a longer process. This really should be advised before you order.
Would definitely make me reconsider ordering with them again which is a shame as they typically are my go to.

Would give 0 stars if I could

Would give 0 stars if I could. I changed credit cards in-between ordering something and wanting to return it. They refused to change the refund to my new card and I eventually had to accept a store credit. Then, attempting to use the credit I ordered some items, rather than just discounting the order overall they have applied the credit a bit to each item, now that I want to return some of the items I won't get the money back and will be left with store credit again! Ridiculous! Will never buy form here again.

Don’t buy at the iconic

Don’t buy at the iconic, they are really irresponsible. They deliver very fast. However, the item I received is totally different to the item I ordered. I told them, and they processed the exchange, I have to send the item back, after that for 2-3 days, they checked and then sent me the exchange item, after 2 weeks from the first day I ordered, I received the delivery for the exchange item. And surprisingly and very ridiculously, still the wrong item. How can you shop in a store that keeps sending you wrong item time by time. So I returned the product and buy it at another store. No more the Iconic after 10 years shopping with them. Thanks
