Definitely say something. I have ripe tops that I wore for DD2 preg, then my friend wore and now Im wearing again, and have had no probs, so say something and I would think they'll replace them xo
Pilling results when the garment is made from acrylic (or has a large percentage of acrylic). Acrylic is a synthetic (man made fiber) and is used because it's cheap and easier to wash (some people think) than wool. Personally i really avoid acrylic clothes because of the pilling and because it doesn't "breathe" very well (makes me feel uncomfortable).
You could try making a fuss. I'd get a refund and buy a wool or cotton-knit garment. it will say on a tag what the garment is made out of. It's one of the first things I investigate when buying clothing. It's often better to buy a second hand woollen garment than a brand new acrylic one.
If you decide to "make do with it" then you can shave the pilling off with a razor blade... I keep a disposable razor for this job.

I would definately call them or write to them. Just tell them how disappointed you are that this has happened to the garment after wearing it only 4 times and say that you really like the cardi and are so disappointed. Ask them for a refund or for a new top. I think anyone would expect a $75 clothing to last more than 4 wears.
sounds like you got a dodgy couple of garments. I have two garments from Ripe but both silky and I love them. But to be honest it can happen in any brand these days.
Spitting chips!! I'd be furious. I never shopped at Ripe because they're so expensive lol, but they had some gorgeous stuff! There was this stunning silver dress I was gonna buy and get married in (rofl).
I'd totally call and complain, that's just not on.
