    the quality and price of their stuff is what makes it so popular, that and ae,af,hollister are considered trendy to some people

    Beware folks. They are not doing returns now to Ireland. It's not worth purchasing and paying shipping both ways if the sizes are wonky (like I experienced)

    Dear AE Shopper,

    Thank you for your recent exchange. Unfortunately, we do not accept exchanges on international orders. A credit has been issued to your account for the merchandise that was returned. Please allow 1-2 billing cycles for this credit to be posted back to your account.

    If you would like to place a new order, don't hesitate to call us at 1-888-232-4535 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week).

    Thanks for being a part of the American Eagle brand!

    Sincerely,

    Your Friends @ AE.com

    In fairness the size chart they have is pretty accurate and if it says vintage fit its going to fit smaller, its not rocket science like.

    Just got about 100 euros worth of stuff there ... customs added on an additional 46.20 :(

    I got 5 items all size medium, i'm not completely satisfied. One item is a hoody and it looks more like a size XL, its like wearing a parachute.
    Another item is an orange polo which has a dirty black mark in the middle of it :mad: and i'm thinking its not worth my while returning anything

    Not convinced that i'll be shopping from them again

    I wouldn't bother returning it. I bought items that cost 52.53 Euro that included shipping. I paid over 16 Euro to exchange. The said that they don't do exchanges. The credited my account with 33.92 Euro. You lose out on the exchange rate with the refund.

    The clothes weren't far off my size. The jeans were too big and the polo shirt a bit tight. I was going to keep them but thought I might aswell be 100% happy and paid the return.

    I won't be going back. 36 Euro down the hole. Bunch of tossers. :pac:

    Vintage/Classic fit is in the tops - with Vintage fit more figure hugging
    and tighter.

    My credit card statement was charged to Ottawa as well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭pissed


    Mine also arrived into Ireland this morning, how or when do you find out if the customs guys have hit you up ??.... I would imagine if it arrived this morning that it should be out for delivery tomorrow???

    Actually just checked an post track and trace and its showing as on route to customer.... so should get it tomorrow. Does this mean its made it through customs ?

    This happened to me, think everything has to be sent through them. Doesnt mean they'll charge you.

    finally after I dont know how many cancelled orders my last order just shipped!

    Now to wait 5-12 working days


  • Registered Users Posts: 301 ✭✭pilot1087


    My order status is saying the same... don't remember any of the tracking status saying that on previous orders.. usually just says arrived in Portlaoise.. and then its delivered.

    Fingers crossed


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭pissed


    mmm still showing as at customs in Portlaoise :mad:... no delivery today I guess.

    +1

    there is a box to fill if charges due. just to say tho they often don't fill them properly, sometimes their even impossible to read they fill them so quick


  • Registered Users Posts: 301 ✭✭pilot1087


    well so far anytime I've had to go and collect the parcel there's never been a charge


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭pissed


    Still in Portlaoise and postie has been and gone. At this rate it will take longer to get from Portlaoise that it did to get from the states :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 301 ✭✭pilot1087


    Got charged €60 by customs :(


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,204 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    I've been trying to track my order for awhile. The tracking number links to a page that AE says is haugh work done to it and try again later. Its been like that for days.
    Any one else have the same problem?

    Hi Kearnsr,

    I was having that problem as well... If you go to the actual USPS website you should be able to track the order there by using the tracking number.. also if it has entered Ireland you can track it via the An Post website.

    Hope this helps,
    Regards

    pilot1087 Got charged €60 by customs

    How much was your order after discount and including postage so I will know how much to expect to pay..... latest status on my order is released from customs and on way to customer.

    Customs will charge you on the price before discount (cant figure that out)
    and include the postage cost. I was charged €47 on one order with total
    value of USD 160. I've had other orders ranging from USD120-USD185
    and didn't get charged anything.
