The Good

  • Non-traditional style
  • 47 years of experience
  • Free shipping offered
The "non-traditional" approach to styling is a major selling point for many shoppers. It is easy to find these products on various sales and deals throughout the year. There are a lot of outdoor clothes available at Urban Outfitters. The "apartment accessories" category provides shoppers with a lot of variety. You will be able to find many things to outfit your apartment with cool, hip things such as a "Heavy Metal" items such as speakers and ear buds to enjoy music and further deck out one's apartments. We liked the pricing of brands that were available at Urban Outfitters. If you spend over $50 at Urban Outfitters, you will be able to get a couple of pieces of clothes and get free standard shipping. Most customers responded favorably to the shipping options available to Urban Outfitters. We also liked the fact that the return policy is straightforward and easy to understand. You can also return online items at Urban Outfitters Stores.

The Bad

  • Insensitive marketing campaigns
  • Customer complaints
Urban Outfitters is not without controversy. We found that their marketing campaigns were sometimes a little bit insensitive. There was a version of Monopoly released called Ghettopoloy. The NAACP criticized Urban Outfitters for this somewhat tasteless game. In 2012, Urban Outfitters also released a transphobia greeting card. This was problematic for LGBT customers, many of which decided to take their business elsewhere. We also looked a little bit more closely at Urban Outfitters' customer complaints. One customer ordered something for a bridal exchange. The item arrived extremely badly damaged. The bride actually called for another item and the customer who purchased the item on the bridal registry was billed twice. This indicates that Urban Outfitters has some problems with its billing and collections procedures.

The Bottom Line

Overall, we thought that Urban Outfitters had some unique products and services for its customers. The hipster approach and different marketing paradigms make shopping at Urban Outfitters a unique experience. Customers can buy things for the outdoors, deck out their apartments, and find other items in addition to clothes. If you enjoy their style of clothing and have a decent budget, they may be a good option for you. Be aware of their billing issues and also, try to watch for their sales. If they had more sales and better company tactics, we would recommend Urban Outfitters.

This place matches my style so well. I gave them a five rating but there flaw is they like to over price their clothing. Best time to shop is during a sale around holidays. Only then is this store worth it. Don;t buy clothes ate full price. It is ridiculous. Another reason why it is 5 is the store is setup like your bedroom. Everything is comfortable and not in your face selling you. It is really chill (cool music). Good atmosphere.

We recently finished a bathroom and I needed décor and rugs for it. I was surprised to find Urban Outfitters website had great, stylish items to choose from. I bought a rug and some towels and the website is set up to be very easy to shop from. I've purchased shoes from them in the past and love their online selection of some of my favorite brands.

Urban Outfitters always carries very trendy clothes. They have very unique collections that aren't easy to find anywhere else. They have good clearance racks sometimes but their prices tend to be on the higher end.

I recently bought some shoes, bathroom rugs and bedding on Urban Outfitters website. I love that they have clothing shoes and the cutest options for my home online, which they don't offer in stores. Their website is easy to use and offers great options.

Urban Outfitters online sale game is incredible. A lot of options that are not seen in the store are online, as well as everything in the store! I get everything from music, home decor, dresses and shoes here. Highly recommend.

Always has the cutest clothes and knick- knacks like books, or jewelry or record players, etc. The employees here are typically nice and helpful. The items here, although very cute, are extremely expensive.

I purchased a few items from Urban Outfitter’s online website when they weren’t available in stores. It was an easy experience and I’ve shopped at Urban’s online store multiple times after that.
