In the midst of the retail apocalypse, we’re seeing many once-beloved retailers struggle to stay afloat. And one of those retailers is Victoria’s Secret.
Over the years, Victoria’s Secret has seen a decline in popularity, with publishers like Forbes declaring that it’s “lost its sexy.”
Like many other struggling retailers, one of Victoria’s Secret’s problem is its inability to keep up with competitors.
Known for its “Angels,” the lingerie retailer seems to have fallen behind in the times. Real body movements overshadow the unattainable and once-aspirational body types Victoria’s Secret pushes, and retailers like Aerie, that focus on inclusivity, are championing the market.

Not to mention, the company saw major controversy last year when L Brands‘, Victoria’s Secret’s parent company, Chief Marketing Officer made anti-trans and plus-size comments.
Industry experts say that Victoria’s Secret choice to ignore lingerie and consumer trends will only lead business further into decline. Victoria’s Secret has seen a drop in sales since 2016.
While the lingerie brand struggles, L Brands as a whole isn’t doing so bad.
The parent company made a number of big decisions last year, which included shuttering Henri Bendel and selling off the Canadian La Senza brand.
Last year, L Brands saw mixed performances with growth driven by Bath & Body Works. However, the company states that its “forecast was more than offset by a decline at Victoria’s Secret.”

For 2019, L Brands plans to focus on improving the Victoria’s Secret business. Two new CEOs at Victoria’s Secret and Pink will work on building better relationships with shoppers, improving product assortment, and bettering in-store and online experiences.
In addition, Victoria’s Secret will be closing 53 stores across North America, up from 30 stores closed last year. As of right now, no exact location of store closures has been revealed, but we’ll keep you updated as news progresses.

As much fun as shopping can be, strict return policies can make the experience a bit more stressful or less enjoyable than it has to be.
Whether you’re shopping for a gift and are unsure of what to get, or are buying something for yourself, strict return policies can really complicate things and end up costing you more money.
That’s why it is always a good idea to shop at stores that have amazing lenient policies. Then, you can buy what you want without worrying about what happens if you change your mind!
We’ve rounding up the 5 retailers with the best return policies to take the guesswork out of it for you. Take a peek below!
MEC

Bath & Body Works

Bath & Body Works is the perfect store to buy gifts for your loved ones as they have something for everyone. That being said, with such a wide selection of products, and scents, to choose from, it can be hard to know which one is perfect.
You don’t have to worry about picking out the wrong fragrance for your mom or the wrong candle for your sister because Bath & Body Works offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. As stated in their return policy, if you aren’t completely satisfied with your items, you can bring them back.
IKEA
Instagram/@ikeacanada
IKEA recently launched their 365 Returns, in case you needed another reason to love shopping there. IKEA’s return policy states that you have 365 days to make up your mind with any purchases. If your furniture or home decor pieces end up not being the right size or style for your home they can easily be refunded. The items have to be in re-saleable condition, but IKEA will take back items even if they have been assembled.
IKEA also understands that finding the right mattress can take some time which is why you also have 365 days to try out your new mattress. If it’s not right, you have the option to come back and choose another so you end up with the perfect one for you!
Costco

You may have to be a member to shop at Costco, but it certainly pays off if you need to return something! Costco carries such a large assortment of products which makes it easy to shop for yourself and others there — especially since Costco has one of the best return policies around. As mentioned in their return policy, they guarantee your satisfaction with every purchase and will give you a full refund if you aren’t happy with your purchase. Sure, there are a few exceptions like electronics must be returned within 90 days, but for the most part, you can bring back anything that isn’t quite right anytime for a full refund!
Sephora
Instagram/@mslittlesworld
When it comes to makeup and skincare, finding the right products is such a personal thing. There is a lot of trial and error involved, which is why shopping at Sephora is your best bet. If you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase or gift you have 30 days to get your money back or exchange it for something else. This gives you (or the gift recipient) enough time to try out the product for decent amount of time and make a decision on whether or not it’s right for you. And, if you miss the 30 day deadline, Sephora will still offer you an exchange or store credit.
So, while you can’t get your money back after 30 days, you can still get something better suited for you. And, if we’re being honest, it’s not hard to find something new to try at Sephora!

At StyleDemocracy, we know shopping! We deliver the scoop on all things retail related including how to get the best value at your favourite stores and online retailers. Hidden offerings, insider secrets and the ultimate savings… we’ve rounded up the 10 things every Victoria’s Secret and PINK shopper needs to know. Keep reading for the top tips for shopping at Victoria’s Secret and PINK in Canada.
When to Shop at Victoria’s Secret Vs. When to Shop at PINK
Looking to save a few extra bucks on your next bra purchase? We recommend shopping at PINK over Victoria’s Secret for lower priced undergarments that don’t compromise VS quality. While styles and fabrics will differ between stores, the support and durability are the same across all lines. When it comes shopping for other product categories, we recommend shopping at PINK for casual apparel and swimwear, while Victoria’ Secret is great for lingerie and workout apparel.
Shop Fridays for Savings
Fridays are the day to save at Victoria’s Secret and PINK stores. If you have plans to splurge on a bra or some swimwear, subscribe to Victoria’s Secret and PINK emails for information on upcoming sales promotions. Friday is typically the day that ‘BOGO ½ price’ and ‘Free Gift with Purchase’ sales go live in stores to entice crowds of weekend shoppers.

Bigger Discounts with PINK
Calling all students! PINK shoppers have an opportunity to score additional discounts if they are also members of the SPC program. SPC members save 10% off full price and clearance merchandise at PINK.
Victoria’s Secret Return Policy
Don’t love it? Return it! Victoria’s Secret offers a generous 90-day return policy on all items with an original receipt. This includes bras that you may have worn once or twice but the fit just wasn’t right.
Always Ask for a Bra Fitting
Be sure you get the right fit by taking advantage of the bra specialists at Victoria’s Secret. These VS staff are approachable, friendly and will teach you a thing or two about the correct fit for your body. Wearing the right size bra is key to saving money on future clothing purchases and alterations.
Make it Easier for Others to Shop For You at Victoria’s Secret
With every bra fitting, you’ll receive a bra card indicating your bra size, preferred style and matching panty size. While this card is great to keep with you for future shopping, it’s also handy to give to someone else who is likely to do some shopping for you. Pass your Victoria’s Secret bra card over to your significant other so that they aren’t embarrassed walking aimlessly through a store in search of the appropriately sized gift for you.
Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale
What we refer to as “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!” is also known as the Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale. This amazing sale happens twice a year in-store (in January and June,) and online (in December and May). During this sale, you’ll find amazing markdowns on the previous season’s items. With no end date to this sale, the best merchandise can be scooped up at the start of the sale and as the remaining inventory depletes, the markdowns will increase.

Price Adjustments at Victoria’s Secret
Anticipating those Semi-Annual Sale markdowns, always hold onto your Victoria’s Secret receipt for a price adjustment within 14 days of your purchase. The same policy applies to regular priced items marked down outside of the Semi-Annual Sale period.
Avoid Shopping Online at Victoria’s Secret
While the promotions and product selection online at Victoria’s Secret is far better than in-store, avoid shopping online at all costs! The insane exchange rate, shipping and duties make it excruciating for Canadian consumers to shop online at any of the limited brands sites like Victoria’s Secret, PINK or Bath & Body Works. Throw a few items into your online shopping cart and watch your total skyrocket once you populate Canadian shipping details.
