“I ordered $100+ from their website, 3 shirts, 1 onesie (no free shipping..??). After checking out (used paypal), I never received confirmation, invoice, shipping info. Nothing. Tried calling, they don't "deal" with customer service over the phone, you have to email support.. cool thanks. They responded saying they had no proof of my purchase, nothing. I showed them the charge and they told me it was a charge to see if I had the funds, mmkay.. They said not to worry that it wouldn't actually charge my card... but it said the transaction was completed in my bank? Waited even longer and nope, never refunded, they charged me. Contacted again, annoyed and mad. They eventually sent me 3 out of 4 shirts. No onesie. WHAT A PAIN IN THE A** company to deal with. Shirts aren't great quality either. No free shipping over $100 on overpriced TSHIRTS? TERRIBLE COMPANY. I will never deal with ordering through Merchbar ever again. Bummer”

“I purchased a T-shirt last night for $22. An hour later $700 cash advance was done on my atm Card. Coincidence?? I think not. Crooks. I will find them and I will kill them”

“I ordered 9 vinyls. Got an email saying my vinyls had been shipped and would arrive on Saturday. Today is Wednesday. No big deal. Open the vinyls I had ever so patiently been waiting on and something didn't seem right. I received 13 vinyls and only 3 of which I ordered. 3!! The rest were completely off the wall and not even close to what I had wanted. I called the number and am welcomed with a cold "Hello." No introduction at all. I thought I had called somebodys home. I gave the lady my order information and was told that all problems will be dealt with in email and I should expect an email within 1-2 days. Asked if I needed anything else and that was it. Didn't ask any other questions. I spent quite a bit of money and I am so unhappy. I hope they fix this mess.”

“The T-Shirt was delivered with tag cut off the back which also cut the stitching on the neckline damaging the shirt. Merchbar has been giving me the runaround for a almost a week. I send them photos of the damaged merchandise then a day or two goes by then when I email them to ask about the return they send me the same email request for photos! Not sure what kind of game they are playing but I had no choice but to dispute the charges with my bank. Don't trust this vendor, they sell shoddy products and back it up with shoddy promises!”

“Worst Company I Had Dealt With Worst customer service ever. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE. Not exactly sure who is running the show there but they need to quit. I bought a vinyl record they had claimed was in stock. I didn't buy it elsewhere because I wanted to try a new source of music goods. I trusted it. 2 weeks pass by and I get an email saying it is out of stock. Not sure why it took 2 weeks to tell me, but it did. Worst yet, all other websites said they were now out of stock. So I contact them seeking some form of a remediation plan. Long story short, they said "too bad" "I can't help you" and I quote "there is nothing else I can do for you" It's not my fault they said they didn't have the item in stock and still took my money. Just buy your merch stuff on Amazon, eBay, or a band website. I ended buying the record I wanted on Ebay and it was way better dealing with a random stranger. "the merchbar guarantee" is complete bulls**t. They do not deserve your business. Go elsewhere.”

“Ordered 6 weeks ago. Have been in touch with customer service and they said their policy is 3-5 weeks of "processing time" before the delivery even goes out. However, the 6 weeks have passed and they just keep pushing the date out further. I am happy that I have had 2 emails with customer service, but they need to be realistic about what they can do. Tracking number provides no actual information. Will update if I ever receive my item.”

“placed order for T-Shirt last week of February ... website stated delivery would be in 8-15 days...today is the 9/4/2020 still no show.... when I contacted the customer service email I was told it takes up to 30 days for delivery and 2 weeks for their warehouse to process an item... no tracking number once it has left the states (I live in OZ) ... so now I am asking for a refund or resend WITH o/seas tracking supplied... waiting for an answer and will update this review and offer more positive reviews on different sites if I receive a positive and quick outcome... so far VERY disappointing experience...

“Ordered from the U.K. three very small items. Some joker at Merchbar thought it would be funny to split the order knowing charges would doubled for me in order to receive them. They put a tiny sticker on its own in the one package. So an order that cost around £20 ended up costing £60! They showed no remorse or acknowledgement of their stupidity with the sticker!! Please don’t waste your money with this company as the good we’re tacky anyway!!”

“I paid for 3 shirts and only got 2. The third shirt is meant to be sent to me when they sort out the warehouse move which is taking longer than China building a new hospital??. I suggested I pick another shirt that is readily available but I have had no response to this request.”

“BEWARE, If you order something from Merchbar, you will not receive the item pictured. For some reason, they insist on misleading customers with their product images. In my case, they even had an audio sample on the page that was a totally different album than what I received. Of course I thought I was buying the album pictured, especially with the audio sample. On top of all of this, they make you pay for shipping if you return an item..but it says now on their page that they don't accept returns on Vinyl records at all. Even though when you buy the record, they say you have 30 days to return it. After you fill out a "return form", wait for the return to be approved, and pay for shipping out of your own pocket. AVOID this abysmal mockery of a distributor.”

“Bought a T shirt - red logo on grey shirt. Shirt arrived and it is white. They refused to refund shipping (if i returned the T) saying that the FINE PRINT said it was white so its my mistake. The correct asnwer is that their website is misleading. As of Feb 17, 2020 it is here https://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/red-hot-chili-peppers/red-hot-chili-peppers-distressed-logo-t-shirt it is clearly a grey T because ... well its grey and the page background is white and there is a big difference. Well, having run businesses that sell to consumers, if your website is misleading then the issue is NOT the consumer's. BOTTOM LINE: do not trust them or the representations of their product; read everything (that's a great shopping experience); BUYER BEWARE!”

“This company has a lot of negative feedback. I feel like some of it is deserved and some of it is just frustration with their shipping practices. I ordered a product on them on 12/12 stating it would be delivered before Christmas. Christmas came and went and the package was still MIA. After contacting customer service, I have informed the item the item was in fact a pre-order item and would ship in late January. This information was correct and I received the item quickly after the item actually shipped. I think MerchBar is a good brand that needs to be more open about their products. Customer service could be better; however, I was able to get in touch with someone fairly easily. Not a scam company from my experience, maybe just a company that is slowly growing.”

“I ordered a sweatshirt weeks ago. I never received an email about to confirm the order but they took the money out within two days. The sweatshirt I ordered has been "processing" for several weeks. Would NOT recommend shopping from here.”

“Awful. Ordered a sweatshirt in December and they keep delaying the time as I keep writing them. Even told me my item was pre-ordered, when it has been out for quite a while, and does NOT say that anywhere on the packaging. They said they would message the wearhouse and delayed it even longer. Horrible company, with very sketchy shipping times. 0 star rating if I could.”

“Ordered 6 weeks ago and item hasn't arrived. No response from customer service. Tracking number gives no info. I've accepted that it was a mistake to order from them given the reviews on here. Avoid like the plague!!!”

“BEWARE CUSTOMS CHARGE. Ordered T-shirt for my son 12 December after he chose it and forwarded the link to us. It arrived at UK Post Office 7th January BUT with a £11.36p customs fee to pay before collection. This is half the price again of the product! No info re this charge on their website. Will never order from this dreadful company again.”

“Rubbish company who rip you off with poor service and slow responses, don't waste your time or money as you will be lucky to receive any goods !!
