Merrill Product Reviews - Honest Opinions from Real Customers

[babywings76]

If you are talking about the grey s/s with the squin logo....it runs VERY small! I usually wear a medium in Merrill shirts and I got a XL in this one....and to be honest, it's still a little snugger on me that I like I don't like my clothes to fit tight and kinda wish I had bought this one in a 2XL...crazy!

Wow! From a medium to needing a 2XL on that shirt design?! That's absolutely nuts!! Guess I was right that it wouldn't be a good shirt for me....starting at a size 1X, I'd have no chance of finding the right size.

See...if a product was THAT off from true sizes, they shouldn't be on the shelf to begin with. That's poor customer service!Did you know that on the CC page for the Home Office Email Contacts- one of the options is "Licensed Merchandise Vendor Comments". THAT is where you submit comments like that. Certainly things about these new shirts "running small" and they KNOW about it, then HOW small they run, to charge you extra to get the TRUE size...stuff like that, plus the return issues folks have had (not to mention product quality). Let HO know- or keep letting them know.
CC-> Home Office Contacts -> Email the Pampered Chef -> last option is Licensed Merchandise VendorI'd buy more if I thought I was getting my money's worth!
Thanks for the feedback on those shirts. I'll wait. I'd be one who would likely have to get the plus sizes, since I normally go for L or XL.

I agree with you Amanda. I got the same stamp as you and also was disappointed with the size, the info is just way too small.

So glad to see your posts Tonya and Amanda. I need a new stamp. My current one is from Office Depot, and I was debating on getting one with the logo from Merrill. Actually, the price in the new Merrill catalog made my decision for me! I agree about not needing the logo too!

Makes me feel a little better.....I bought this one in a 2XL and thought it fit like a medium..........waste of my money unless PC wants me to go around advertising looking like a sausage!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow glad I read this thread! Kinda sucks though what other options are there for logo wear? Can we make our own shirts??

Yes, you can. Some consultants have mentioned making iron-ons with their computer and special paper. If you own an embroidery machine, I can send you the old logo (no taqgline, "discover the chef in you" on it" and the "Chef" is below "The Pampered") so you can make your own, you cannot give it to an embroidery shop though to make things for you. That is a violation of trademark agreements.

I got several shirts at conference that I love. The 3/4 lime green with PC on the arm, both of the black ones with blingy PC on front, and the coral color one with blingy PC on front. I wear a large and got large and they all fit great! But everyone else is right, I would have had to get a 3X in the gray one. Love the shirt but the fit was terrible!!!

I'm considering splurging on a couple of shirts...but before I order, I wanted to check with you guys on if they run true-to-size and if they are really THIN.
I would typically wear an XL for tighter fit shirts or L for loose-fit shirts.Here is what I'm considering:

Am I nuts? I know stuff runs small, but I was just looking at the measurements they posted for the new HWC shirt. I pulled out a tape measure, measured my bust and came out with 50 inches. (I'm not a little girl.) I went back to the chart and saw that a 4X bust size is 23 1/4 inches. I measured that on my tape measure and it just barely fits around my head. SERIOUSLY?! If you are that small, good for you. But I think even my 13 year old sister would be hard-pressed to squeeze into a 4X if those are truly the measurements.

 

[ChefNelson]

Ok - there must be something I don't know. If the unit of measurement is not inches, what is the scale. Because the largest bust size I've seen is 28 on any of these shirts. Someone clue me in.

 

[esavvymom]

maybe you should call and ask them, because that just doesn't sound right, and I now that their shirts DO get larger than that. I have XL shirts that fit like an XL. (T-shirts)

Sounds like European sizing. I wonder of somehow you are on Canada's site? Someone else recently said they got qualification pins that said $1500 instead of the $1250 the US consultants need to qualify...

I looked at the site last night after reading this post, and it was the US site, as far as I know. I got to it via my usual CC link. But I saw the same measurements. The smallest was a 16 something bust up to a 23 something. Hahah. NOT.

 

[chefa]

I'm not sure 23 would even be a half of a bust!

 

[esavvymom]

I was looking at the HWC unisex tshirt size chart, and a 4x is "30" bust, a large is "22". Maybe that other HWC shirt is one of thse skinny-mini shirts that "rounded girls" like me should never wear! Looking at other shirt size charts, they vary, but some are clearly "skinny shirts" unfortunately.

Well, then, I think Merrill has some funky things going on at their website. If I were planning on ordering anything like that from them I would call their CS and let them know what it says. They may not realize this.
