Site Experience FeedbackJun 30, 2026
This was the worst online shopping experience I’ve had and reminded me exactly why I stopped spending tons of money at VS despite being a cardholder. I received a $10 birthday gift in the mail but wasn’t able to make it to a store during open hours due to my crazy work schedule running a nonprofit. I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity but this process made me so mad I almost just quit a few times and I’m still debating whether I should have even bothered. I spent well over an hour navigating the ridiculous mobile layout of the site, which continually drops items from lists while sorting, trying to pick a couple great items from the sale and went to ring up a well-worth-it and thought out purchase of roughly $40, but the birthday code wouldn’t work on the sale items. I was upset to have spent so much time and not be able to use the discount but I can understand that I guess. So I spent a ton more time and picked out a regular priced item of $14.50 - a great deal with my birthday gift from VS! - only to find out I’d have to pay twice that, pretty much the original price, in shipping. That’s BS, especially as a cardholder. The item can’t be shipped to my local store for free and is t available for pickup. Now I’ve invested so much time in this I decide, fine. Literally any underwear that’s available to pick up so I don’t pay shipping will do. Surprise! NO UNDERWEAR AT ALL CAN BE PICKED UP FROM MY STORE. That’s completely ridiculous and infuriating. In order to even find ANY items available for pickup from my store, I had to go into every single category from VS and Pink and click to see all sorted by pickup, and almost no items were available. I gave up with only a few minutes to midnight when the gift expired - I had tried for several weeks to make it in store and hoped I could today, even - but fine, I’ll order my “gift” which I’m now paying for. When I went to check out that process was also a huge pain - the option to look up your VS account info was pointless as I went through that process three times and it showed approval/said I was good to go but continued to give me the error message that I needed to enter in my card information. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF WHAT I JUST DID THEN? Fine, let me get out of bed and turn on all the lights to get my card. This entire process was infuriating and I’m honestly so angry typing it out I’m now mad that I did decide to order. It’s BS that this process is so difficult, that a “gift” for cardholders comes with so many strings and I can’t even get free shipping so I have to pay for an item that should have been free because I don’t have free time to shop in store? What a joke. I’m debating canceling my card since the “benefits” don’t even exist.
