Customers often report breakdowns in fulfillment and after-sale help, including wrong items, canceled orders, and slow refunds. Some shoppers point to strong in-store editing and call out specific salespeople for attentive service. Shipping results are mixed: some get two-day delivery, while others deal with lost or returned packages that never get resolved. A few reviews also mention product defects and missing documentation alongside the service problems.
Examples from available reviews (Feb 2021 – Mar 2026).
Staff member Collen was attentive and helped quickly with selection.
“Collen was super attentive.”
Package arrived in two days with no flaws.
“Got package in 2 days no flaws no complaints”
Shoes fell apart after a week and no response for six weeks.
“they started coming apart.”
Return delivery failed and customer service did not respond.
“FedEx returned item to me.”
Most reviews focus on poor service, with reports of rude or condescending staff, refused returns, and incorrect items shipped. A smaller group highlights specific employees and managers who stepped in, solved issues, or helped quickly. Overall, unresolved service problems appear more often than consistently good store help.
Several customers say sale discounts unexpectedly turned purchases into final sale and prevented refunds. Multiple reviewers describe exchanges and refunds that failed or stayed pending for weeks. Billing mistakes and disputed charges further weaken the sense of value.
In-store experiences split between well-curated boutiques with helpful staff and locations described as unwelcoming or tightly policed by door staff. Online shoppers mention inaccurate stock and checkout verification failures that led to canceled orders. Reviews repeatedly tie site flow and post-purchase help to abandoned or interrupted purchases.
A smaller but noticeable set of reviews describes product issues such as shoes falling apart, missing authenticity cards, and incorrect sizing. These problems show up less often than service failures but hit hard when they happen. Several quality complaints also mention packaging.
Customers often describe support channels that go quiet, with unanswered calls and messages that never get a reply after delivery or return problems. Some report account debits without confirmation and email handoffs that led nowhere. These gaps in communication often prevent fixes for shipping and refund issues.
Reviews draw a clear line between standout in-store visits and repeated breakdowns after purchase. Positive feedback points to the curated designer mix and a few notably attentive staff members. Negative feedback centers on fulfillment, returns, and slow or missing responses, leaving a polarized impression.
For each review, the core experience based on original source reviews.

Quite an Improvement!!
The first time I ordered from the Webster company, I was pretty unsatisfied with the results.
The quality of the product was not up to par and the customer service was disappointing.
I attempted to contact them many times, but received no answer from them at all.
I gave them a second go because they offered products that I actually wanted so I placed another order.
This time, I faced a similar problem where my Webster tags were missing.
However, they actually reacted this time and sent me my tag back without me having to ask again by email or obtain a refund.
that's quite an improvement on customer service.
Excellent curation and helpful, knowledgeable, non-pushy sales associates.
“Amazing curation of high-quality and designer pieces.”
