Over time, ASOS grew into a worldwide brand and as of the current day, its website sells clothing from 850 different brands, across 196 countries including the United States and Europe.

I wish I could get help with contacting a responsible person at ASOS. I shopped on ASOS.com, and chatted online with ASOS personnel to return an item for full refund to my credit card (I have email confirmation). The item was returned, copy of return shipping label was emailed to ASOS personnel, and I have been waiting for a refund to my credit card but someone took it upon themselves to issue a credit to my ASOS account which is not what I agreed to. I have sent countless emails and even incurred a $10 phone charge after calling to speak to someone in the ASOS executive office without success.
I never thought that months after returning shoes, I am still seeking a refund to my credit card as agreed upon. I would appreciate help with contacting the company.
