Anthropologie (and all Urban Outfitters brands) is plunging into the customer service …

Oh good lord. That’s what I said when I got off the plane after a blissful week+ getaway with my wonderful fiancé.

Anthropologie’s new return policy and the death of the unconditional guarantee

Taking a look into the abyss with Anthropologie. After years of threats, it’s finally happened: Anthropologie has updated its return policy as of July 9, 2018.

Anthropologie is…

However, this contradicts information I received from several store employees, so I have asked for clarification from a senior manager in customer relations at the home office. Stay tuned! Anthropologie has long rivaled Nordstrom for one of the most generous return…

Anthropologie’s summer windows in the Allen, TX store. Following up from the Urban Outfitters’ Q2 earnings’ call post last week, here’s a very interesting article from the Washington Post on the sad, sad, sad state of women’s clothing these days. The thesis of the column is simple: Consumers have money to spend but mostly can’t find clothes they want to…
