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.

Cute, trendy clothes, often very overpriced for what it truly is. Their sale section makes up for it however, I always find something cute super marked down which is what keeps me coming back.

I got the coolest swimsuit that I have ever owned at Urban Outfitters. I get compliments every time I wear it. I'd recommend this store to anyone that wants trendy clothes at reasonable prices.

Urban Outfitter has really nice trendy clothing but it can be a little expensive. When they have deals or offers however, I love buying from them. It is clothing you likely won't find anywhere else and it is "what's hot" right now.

The quality of the items you purchase at Urban Outfitter is the best! While the price point might throw people off, what you pay for does last for a long time and you will receive a lot of wears out of it. Their in-store and online selection is very good!

Urban Outfitters have really cute trendy clothes. Their simplicity is aesthetically pleasing, but for so much simplicity it can be a little overwhelmingly expensive some times. I love the clothes here though, they are really cute.

Their clothing always fits my style, pricing is sometimes high but can have great sales. The return policy is kind of difficult but i'm sure you can work it out.

Urban Outfitters is always on top of what's trendy and has a large selection of trendy clothes but I think the highlight is all the "stocking stuffer" esque items they sell!

I'm not a fan of this store, but my husband LOVES it. Trendy dudes can find a lot of awesome unique pieces here, and that's exactly what he looks for when he does.

Urban Outfitters online is great. You can get the same outrageous prices that you can in store without having to speak with the hipster kids they employee.

I have bought pants and hoodies from Urban Outfitters and they have been great so far. The price for the products is not bad either.

Urban Outfitters is crazy cute but crazy expensive. It seems a little silly to me to pay so much to look like I buy from a thrift shop.
