Echoing the most recent review below...I'm experiencing the same delays as everyone, and it's made worse considering some of the items I ordered are xmas gifts, which seem highly unlikely to arrive on time at this point, if they arrive at all. I still have faith the goods will arrive EVENTUALLY, but my two orders from 11/28 and 12/09 are still "preparing for shipment".
Apparently this was an issue last year, but I never had an issue. In fact, SSENSE was my favorite place to shop because of its combination of inventory, sales and super fast shipping. It was almost unbelievable how fast it was. But that's all gone out the window. It boggles the mind how they aren't able to better respond to customers frustration, even if they are legitimately overwhelmed right now. It only takes some brief messages offering at least some specifics. I think that would calm a lot of us. But to only offer some generic excuse for a delay, followed by silence, followed by turning off all ways to contact the company, just feels so wrong.
Like others have said, every other retailer during this time, large and small, seemingly have had no issues with holiday sales. And if they are THIS overwhelmed, they need to update their website accordingly, instead of continuing to say that total processing time (Processing and transit time) is 6-9 days. Clearly that's not the case.
IDK if the FTC has jurisdiction over SSENSE. Or if there's a Canadian equivalent, this needs to be looked into. I don't think SSENSE is fraudulent or anything as I've been a customer for a while now, but this kind of practice shouldn't be tolerated. Sadly, the fact that this apparently happened last year, and happened again this year, shows they haven't fixed the issue, nor seem incentivized to do so.
