Order a dress went by measurements online still too big for me- sent back to be charged £46 just to try on a dress. A lot of company’s do free returns. Avoid

We’re sorry for the confusion regarding your refund amount. Your original order total was $324.99, and your refund of $251.14 reflects deductions totaling $73.85. This included $40.38 in return shipping and handling fees, as well as $33.47 in non-refundable shipping, duties, and other international order fees. These charges are separate from the merchandise refund and therefore were not included in the amount returned to your original payment method. We understand how disappointing it can be to receive a refund that is lower than the original amount paid, and we’re sorry this was not clearer during the return process. Mac Duggal Customer Care

Be very careful when you order from this company, recently returned two dresses in the same box as delivered . The company stated they have only received one dress.I have asked if the returned box was damaged, company could not clarify if this was the case , and have not gave any other explanation. £500 lost. Sky news have recently reported this as a scam.

Hi Seamus, We’re sorry for the frustration this situation has caused. We would, however, like to clarify what occurred with your return. Our returns process requires each item being sent back to be registered through our Returns Center so that it can be properly identified, tracked, and refunded. In this case, two dresses were placed in the same package without both items being processed according to those return instructions. When the package reached our facility, our team was only able to confirm receipt of one dress. We refunded the item we could verify as received and have reviewed the matter further with our warehouse team, but unfortunately we have not been able to locate or verify receipt of the second dress. We understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for, but we are unable to issue a refund for merchandise we cannot confirm was returned to our facility. Mac Duggal Customer Care

One of my biggest disappointments is when mac duggal is not honest. The dress never left your state You told me to check with DHL the carrier was actually fed ex. You said to me I had received the dress and you will be calling for payment after you refunded when i did not want a refund. I wanted the dress the stuff up was from your end. You did not pick up the phone and check with carrier. Your resolution left me in tatters waiting close to two months. You guys don’t care I’m just a drop in the ocean. It was all confirmed dress never left country.

Hi Irene, We’re sorry to see that you remain disappointed with your experience. Once we confirmed that your international shipment had been lost in transit, we issued a full refund to your original payment method. Because we are unable to create replacement shipments for international orders, we also offered a discount code should you wish to place a new order. We recognize that the initial carrier information and communication surrounding the lost shipment could have been clearer, and we apologize for that confusion. While we understand this was a disappointing outcome, your order has been fully refunded and our team has provided the available resolution for the lost shipment.

Very disappointing experience I waited a long time for my dress, only to suddenly be told that I would be receiving a refund. No explanation I was initially told to contact DHL, but I was given the wrong delivery provider — it was actually FedEx. When I contacted FedEx, I discovered that the dress had never even left the country. This dress was purchased for a wedding, so the situation caused me a great deal of stress and disappointment, especially after waiting so long. Unfortunately, the customer service experience was also very disappointing. I asked to speak with a manager, but my request was ignored. Overall, a very frustrating experience. I expected much better communication and customer service, particularly when an order is for an important occasion.

We’re very sorry for the frustration and disappointment this experience caused, especially when you were counting on your dress for an important occasion. Once we confirmed that your package had been lost in transit, we issued a full refund. We understand that you would have preferred for us to simply resend the dress; unfortunately, we are unable to process replacement shipments for international orders. Our team instead provided a discount code should you wish to place a new order. We also apologize for the initial confusion regarding the shipping carrier and that our communication throughout the process did not provide the clarity you deserved. While we know a refund doesn’t make up for the disappointment of not receiving the dress you selected, we’re sorry this experience fell short of your expectations.

I paid over $700 for a dress that was falling apart from the moment I unboxed it. After contacting Macduggal I got no where, they asked for photos etc and seemed concerned and then ignored me. The quality is so poor and their service is dreadful. I haven’t never been able to wear the dress. Please think twice before purchasing anything from them.
Response from Mac DuggalAug 24, 2026
We’re very sorry to hear how disappointed you were with your dress. When you contacted our Customer Care team, we responded to your concerns and requested photos so that we could review the issue and determine how we could help. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response to that request, so we weren’t able to complete our review. We would still be happy to take another look. Please reply to our last email with the requested photos, and our team will be glad to review your concerns further. Kind regards Mac Duggal Care Team

I purchased a gown for my sons wedding in a large. It was too big and Macduggal graciously let me return it 6 days outside of the 14 day return window because I thought it was a 30 day return window. I then reordered the same dress in a medium. It came with an overwhelming smell of perfume. So again they let me exchange it for a another medium. I received the new medium and was very happy it fit great and I hung it in my closet. I tried this dress on again several times over the next 6 weeks. Today I tried it on again and noticed in back at the knee level, there was a small hole and discoloration of the fabric, possibly a curling iron burn?I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed it before! I know it didn't occur in my closet hanging in plastic. I reached out to the Macduggal again, telling they sent me a used damaged dress for a second time. They refused to refund me this time due to it being past return window. They must have no quality control to send out a damaged dress. This story seems a bit crazy to believe, but it did happen to me. And now I'm out $300 with a dress with a hole in it. I did repurchase the dress from Saks Fifth avenue, so hopefully that dress will be perfect! I'm disappointed this company can't stand behind their product, I don't purchase gowns hardly ever, nor have I had to deal with customer care much in my life, But this was unfair and hard to swallow.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment, especially with such an important occasion as your son's wedding. We understand how frustrating this situation has been. As a courtesy, our team made an exception to our return policy by accepting your initial return after the 14-day return window had passed, and we also facilitated an additional exchange when you reported an issue with the replacement dress. We always strive to provide a positive experience whenever possible. Regarding the damage you later discovered, we understand why this was upsetting. However, because the concern was reported approximately six weeks after delivery—well outside our return and inspection period—we were unfortunately unable to determine when or how the damage occurred, and therefore could not approve a refund or replacement under our policy. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to review our processes and maintain our quality standards. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we wish you all the best at your son's wedding. Kind regards, Mac Duggal Care Team
