GBReturns Portal Down? Really? My sister gave me a pair of gloves for Christmas I wanted to exchange for a different size. I go on their website and type the return number in, only to get no match. So I email customer service with my issue. No answer. Then a week later. No answer. Four times I try over several weeks, then finally forward all the emails from another email address. I'm told sorry, they checked and they never saw my emails, but somehow they did today from an AOL address. They send me a return email label. Great, maybe they didn't see it for whatever reason. In the interim, I order a shirt, but it does not fit. So I go to return, and the same thing, order not recognized. I respond to the email I received earlier today with the return label indicating again my order number is not showing a match, and the message I get back starts with this: "I am so sorry but our returns portal is down at the moment undergoing some maintenance. This is why it did not work on your end." Is it really down "at the moment," or has it been down for a while, like since I've been trying to return the gloves for the past month? And if it's truly down, then why not just post that information on the returns page, rather than have every customer with a return get an "order not found" result when attempting a return? I expect that post-December is the highest volume return period of the year. Is the "returns portal" down coincidental, or is it to get customers to just give up? Sadly, I must assume the latter based on recent reviews on this site. If it's not intentional, then why not be upfront with customers and say you're having issues with returns? Why make the customer think he/she is the one somehow not entering something right or messing up? I don't know the answer, all I know is Orvis is not thinking about their customers first. And that is the downfall of any business...

GBHorrible company with customer service… Horrible company with customer service reps that don't know how to do anything but lie. I ordered over $100 in flies for a trip and over a week later only 1 fly has shipped out of 36. First they say 15% off your first order, then when you check out you don't get 15% off anything except select items. They charge your credit card for each individual item ordered instead of one charge likely to get around higher criminal penalties for fraud/scamming customers. They just need to close down since they are no longer brand that wants to sell items.

GBDon’t waste your time! I stopped by the ORVIS flagship in Manchester, VT last fall with my wife and was aghast at the drop in quality and selection, throughout the store. What was once a wonderful source for clothing, house items and outdoor equipment is now a joke. It appears that the new generation of the Perkins family does not know what they are doing and running the iconic brand into the ground. Very sad indeed!

GBI agree I agree. I once considered it an upscale brand but their marketing turned me off. I received a catalogue a few years ago and every model had a tattoo. I’m not judging anyone with a tattoo but no one in my family, including my children, have one. We are a conservative , educated upper middle class family that shops for quality and support companies that share our values. Too bad, it was once Iconic but is making its move to the masses, poor quality and a woke mentality.
