I ordered three pairs of Wool/Cashmere Slacks from Joseph A Bank's Executive line online.  I paid extra to have a permanent crease put in all three pairs and to have them altered to length.  The web page from which I ordered the slacks said that they were all in stock.  When I ordered the slacks and paid for them, the email receipt said that all three were on backorder.  Not being in a tremendous hurry to receive the slacks, I accepted the backorder status.  The three pairs of slacks were shipped separately.  The first pair I received had not been altered and did not have the permanent crease.  I phoned the store that had filled the order and was told to take them to the retail store nearest me in Chesterfield, MO.  When I explained the situation to the manager, he told me that they did not just do alterations for other stores just because they can't get things right.  I persisted and they agreed to do the alterations.  When the second pair arrived, they were the wrong color and they had been cuffed instead of finished.  I called the customer service line and they told me to box them up and a FedEx driver would come and pick them up.  Mercifully, the third pair was correctly done.



I received a call from the Chesterfield store telling me that the first pair was finished being altered one week early.  I went to the store to pick them up.  When I got there, the salesman at the counter assured me that they did not call customers and that my pants could not be ready for pickup.  After five minutes of trying to convince the salesman that he was being stubbornly stupid, he agreed to walk the 25 feet from the counter to the back of the store only to find that I wasn't lying--my slacks were finished.  He did not, however, deign to bring them to me himself.  I had to wait until another salesman brought them up.



Finally, the slacks that had been delivered in the wrong color and returned arrived again today.  That's right, they sent the same pair of wrong slacks.  Wrong color. Wrong finish.  They sent the same pair of slacks I had returned to them.  I'm fed up with dealing with them.  I'm taking the wrong slacks and will never do business with them again.



This company is needlessly snooty and difficult to deal with.  Maybe some appreciate demeaning sales people, or think that such behavior is consistent with high-end apparel, but I know differently.  Having shopped extensively at Saks and Brooks Brothers, I know what good  customer service is--and the value of a professional salesperson.  I found them to be incompetent, difficult, and unpleasant.  I cannot say one good thing about this experience.
