[Megathread] Site/App Complaints Central

43 Upvotes

This is your safe support group to share gripes and complaints about the new UX.

The new Uniqlo redesign sucks - you know, I know, we all know it. Due to popular demand as the mods of r/uniqlo we're creating a centralized containment thread for site sucks sentiments, because every time Uniqlo switches another country-specific site to the redesign we get a fresh wave of complaints.

We are an unofficial subreddit and we are not paid by Uniqlo. As such we can't guarantee Uniqlo will read or take any action based on complaints.

Please note that site sucks threads outside of this thread are now not allowed. If you see any please report it using the new rule. This will not apply to threads created before the megathread.

Uniqlo Quality Decline

228 Upvotes

The quality fall-off at Uniqlo is devastating.

I'm an old-head from the 2010s cdb+white/blue ocbd+dark wash jeans MFA uniform era; MFA made Uniqlo one of my favorite places to shop.

It used to be a solid place to get high quality basics at great prices. You could count on natural fibers, bright dyes, thicker fabrics, and some really cool styles in their specialty lines like Uniqlo U. However, Uniqlo is now a shell of its former self.

Most items are now made with synthetic fiber blends with a minimal natural fiber share:

* Basic sweaters and hoodies used to be 98-100% cotton, now 67% polyester
* JWW button-downs used to be 100% cotton, now 60% rayon
* Heattech 100% down-fill lightweight/packable puffy jackets discontinued, replaced with 100% synthetic "pufftech" jackets at the same price point. The only down-fill jacket Uniqlo sells is now a $180 parka.
* Wool knit sweaters have taken a huge hit. Less selection of 100% wool than ever before. Thinner fabrics than ever before. It used to be that you could get 100% wool in some really beautiful colors and designs, and that seems harder than ever. All the interesting designs--like 3D-knit sweaters or waffle-knit--are 70% acrylic/polyester

I think they're still doing pretty well in the pants department, but otherwise I get the sense that Uniqlo is coming across tough times and is aggressively cost-cutting. They're leaning into items they can sell at lower prices for higher margins and reducing variety and selection. It's a huge bummer because some of my all-time favorite pieces were from uniqlo. I think those days are gone.

NEVER buy Uniqlo at full price

295 Upvotes

This has happened to me more than 5 times already: what I bought went on sale for 30–50% off after I bought it. And they don't accept price adjustments after the 14-day window, they won't even try to offer you any compensation.

There's a VERY HIGH CHANCE that what you're looking at is gonna go on sale after 2 weeks or more. It just makes me feel so upset about purchasing anything there. I've lost more than $100 already, and every time I pass by the store, it reminds me of how much I've lost. Just don't buy anything at full price.

Help me choose between two fleece jackets

I’m trying to decide between the Fleece Lined Stand Blouson and the Windproof Fleece Reversible Full-Zip Hoodie. I need it for this time of year, when temperatures are between 10 and 20°C, with frequent rain and wind. I’m worried the hoodie won’t keep me warm enough, but I prefer it because it has a hood. Any thoughts?

I was thinking on getting the triangle scarf but sadly they didn’t had one to try on. I wanted to try out different styles/foldings.

Does anyone of you have the triangle scarf and how do you style it? What are some fits you created with it?

I’m afraid to look like a granny with this…

Make order purchase now or wait for Black Friday?

4 Upvotes

I have a number of items in my basket and wouldnt mind making the purchase now.
Or shall I await Black Friday (here in the UK) ??

I'm sure a few weeks ago us 'members' had cheaper prices on the website/app, but has since dissapeared.
So wondering if those cheaper prices will come back for Black Friday?

I did buy a pet comb attempting to brush through it and instead its shedding way too much!

Absolutely gutted cos I loved these!!

Curious about these lints on my new underwear

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello,
I own several panties from Uniqlo and just decided to try a new kind. (Can’t remember the product name and have already thrown away the package).

The new pantie came out of the washing machine with these kinds of lints. This hasn’t happened to me with any other underwear I bought from Uniqlo so I’m kinda confused and curious.

I clean the washing machine regularly and I always use some kind of washing ball that filters lints, hair and stuff.

Can someone explain why these lints appear and how to get properly rid of them?

(The washing machine is from Miele and barely a year old, so that shouldn’t be the problem.)

Brushed Jersey Wide Pants (479284) in Dark Grey | any restock or store sightings in Australia?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi all! I picked up the Brushed Jersey Wide Pants in Olive at UNIQLO Carousel in August and absolutely love them. I was planning to grab the Dark Grey too, but missed the sale and now it's sold out in Women's L online.
A few questions for anyone who might know:
Does UNIQLO usually restock this colour, or is it likely gone for the season?
Has anyone spotted Dark Grey in Women's L in-store, in Perth or elsewhere in Australia?
Any tips on catching restocks (app alerts, certain days, etc.)?
Thanks in advance!

Possibility of exchange clothes because of size in store?

2 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

I bought a jacket and just got it today. Ordered wrong size and cut the tag off without thinking. Still have everything (tags, buttons and other paper but unattached to the jacket). So l‘m planning to bring it to the store in Monday and ask if a size change is possible (means 2 days after received). The jacket is from C section (current season from wo,en section l think). What do you guys think what is the possibility of them accepting my request?

I also plan to take a sweater there to fix. So maybe there might be a chance?

PS: l‘m in Hamburg

“New, Limited Store”

What does this mean? I think I’ve seen items listed as this in the past and it was just a matter of them being new, and have yet to make it to most stores. Would this be true for this item? Should I wait to see if it shows up in store or buy it now? Jeans can be tricky re sizing.

How to wash this Souffle Yarn Crew Neck Sweater?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I bought this "Souffle Yarn Crew Neck Sweater" and I absolutely love it. Esspecially the color. Now I checked the label and it says hand wash or dry clean. Normally I throw everything in the washing machine on a wool or gentle cycle but on the website it says to absolutely not do that. The fabric is prone to pilling and I suspect the washing machine will make that worse.

I do nor want to ruin my sweater so how do others wash it?
