Customers can request a full refund, a LuLaRoe gift card, or replacement leggings by getting in touch with the consultant who sold them the faulty items. According to LuLaRoe’s website, the company’s mission is to ensure that customers are satisfied with their purchases, and they are making strides to uphold their promise of quality with a new Limited Warranty policy effective from the same date.
However, it seems that while customers may be cheering, consultants are facing yet another uphill battle. With thousands of complaints about poor craftsmanship and leggings that develop holes after the first wear, disgruntled customers have taken to social media to voice their frustrations and seek assistance. Spending $25 or more on LuLaRoe clothing that quickly becomes unusable is understandably infuriating, especially when these leggings are hard to come by.
What’s the Catch?
All claims must be submitted by July 31, 2017, and customers must locate the consultant who sold them the defective leggings. Given the vast number of LuLaRoe groups that some shoppers belong to—often exceeding 200—tracking down the original seller can be challenging. Additionally, proof of purchase is required, which means customers must have either the original receipt or a bank statement that indicates the purchase. For those who shop frequently, this could be a tedious and time-consuming task.
While LuLaRoe appears to be making an effort to restore consumer trust, it’s the consultants who will bear the brunt of this policy change. For instance, if a consultant sold a pair of leggings to an eager customer, only to later learn of LuLaRoe’s quality issues, they could find themselves financially impacted. The $25 from the sale is likely already reinvested into new inventory, leaving consultants with little recourse when they need to process returns. Furthermore, shipping costs for returns will also fall on the consultants, who are often not equipped to handle such expenses.
Consultants Express Concerns
Many consultants are already expressing their concerns about the financial implications of the new return policy. They are questioning how they will manage refunds for defective merchandise and how they will afford unexpected shipping costs. The looming question remains: how long will it take for LuLaRoe to reimburse consultants for the wholesale costs of returned items? With no clear timeline in sight, consultants could find themselves significantly out of pocket, all while customers receive their refunds.
While it’s great news for customers looking to get their money back, the reality is that the process may be far more complicated than it seems. So, best of luck to customers navigating this labyrinth of returns, and remember to keep an eye on your receipts and consultants.
