Promised refund... Now not responding

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Shoes Com - Promised refund... Now not responding

I received a pair of shoes that are defective. I emailed shoebuy and said I didn't feel a restocking fee and return shipping fee was appropriate given the shoes were defective.

I received a response that they would either provide me a 30% refund or return for full refund (not including return shipping cost / restocking fee). I responded I would accept the offer of 30% refund. I have sent emails 10 times to customer service asking when I should expect the refund to post to my credit card. Each time I receive a generated email with basic information.

They are not taking customer calls and direct everything to email.

How does anyone resolve anything that isn't a basic return or purchase?

I've had positive experiences in the past, but this is absolutely infuriating.

Unless you are 100% sure about what you are buying... Buyer beware

View full review
Cons:
  • Zero human customer service

Preferred solution: I would like them to refund me the 30% they offered to refund me. Follow through with their offer please.

User's recommendation: Buyer Beware - do not buy unless 100% sure

Shoes.com really needs a better customer service. The phone number is worthless as no one answers. You are directed to email. I will never order from them again.

DFirst strike, they refused to let me return a pair of shoes. Second strike.

I havent received a pair I ordered.

How stupid am I. Never again even if I get my shoes.

No customer service!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

First time customer and wanted to exchange. Emailed, no response for a week.

What kind of business ignores its customer for a week? Then i called. It refers back to email them and they hang up on you. Why have a phone number if you are going to refer the customer to email?

So do I just wait forever until I get some reply back after my return/exchange window?

All I wanted is to exchange and now i just want to return it and get a refund, which I may have to go through my card company to dispute. I will never again buy anything from shoes.com.

Resolved: NO REFUND ISSUED; INCOMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Jul 24, 2021

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. I filed official complaints online with the Better Business Bureau & the Federal Trade Commission as well as posted details about the difficulties I had with shoes.com on several online consumer complaint websites.Shoes.com did not respond to the 1st notice from the BBB, so I was asked to provide additional information.

Within 3 days of filing this 2nd complaint, shoes.com notified me that a refund had finally been issued to me. (It took over a month to get this matter resolved.).

Updated by user Jul 24, 2021

On June 28, 2021, the Better Business Bureau emailed me regarding my complaint about shoes.com.In this email, I was informed that shoes.com did not respond to the BBB's notice regarding the non-issuance of a refund for the unworn pair of sandals I had shipped back to their warehouse, and I was asked to provide additional information regarding this problem.So I added information regarding what I had found out about this e-store. I mentioned the fact that I had filed an official complaint online with the Federal Trade Commission, that I had discovered that scores of customers had submitted complaints similar to mine on websites such as pissedconsumer.com, ripoffreport.com and other similar consumer complaint websites and that I was in the process of filing an official complaint with the Attorney General of the state in which I reside.On July 1, 2021, i.e., three days after submitting this second report to the BBB, I received an email from shoes.com in which I was told that a refund for the returned sandals had been issued to me and that it would take five or so business days for this refund to post to the credit card account I had used to make the original purchase.

I waited the requisite number of days, then checked my credit card account. And, voila, a month after the returned item had been received, the refund was finally processed.Be that as it may, I will NEVER buy anything from shoes.com ever again. And neither should anyone else. IMHO, of course.To everyone who has lost his/her money doing e-commerce with shoes.com, I strongly encourage you to file your stories online with the Better Business Bureau, with the Federal Trade Commission (ftc.gov) and with your state's Attorney General office.

It may take a few weeks to get your particular issue resolved, but filing your complaints with official consumer protection organizations and/or government agencies remains the best way both to get your money back AND to have shoes.com put on official government notice for their years-long illegal business practices. You work hard for your money. Don't let companies like shoes.com steal it from you. And get away with this criminal act.If I was able to get the refund that was legally mine to claim and to receive, then so should you.File your complaints.

You have nothing more to lose. And everything to gain.Thank you.

Original review updated Jun 18, 2021

I returned a pair of sandals purchased online at shoes.com to their warehouse, where it was received on 6/10/21. It is now 6/18/21, but I have NOT received my refund of $118.95 for these never-worn sandals.

I have emailed shoes.com regarding the non-issuance of my refund, but all I get back are canned replies.

When I call Customer Service, I am placed on endless holds and am told to email.

I have since checked other customer complaint websites and have found hundreds of similar complaints. NO refunds. Incompetent and unresponsive customer service.

I have filed my grievance regarding shoes.com online with the Better Business Bureau and with the FTC. I will be filing more complaints with my state Attorney General as well as posting my complaint on other websites.

I will not stop filing these notices until I get the refund which I am LEGALLY owed and until I warn every potential shoes.com customer to avoid this online company completely.

They are a total fraud. They need to refund every single penny they stole from hundreds of customers over the past several years.

Can't get my money back

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I returned a pair of shows on Nov. 30th and I cannot get my credit card reimbursed.

I have never had a problem like this before. I have emailed shoes.com 5 times and no one responds. It said it can take 2 to 10 business days to get a refund. This is way past that.

I want my money back!! I will never order shoes from this company again!!

I have ordered from them before with no problem but for some reason you cannot reach anyone to check on the status and it says It has not been shipped. I am kind of getting frustrated and need a solution to this problem.

Returns

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I spent over two hours trying to download the return label for one pair of shoes. Their website is frozen and it is impossible to download.

I have contacted customer service with the problem and asked them to email me a return label. Now, the website is showing that I have two pairs of the same shoe to be returned which is incorrect and the download label here is still not functioning.

Keep canceling my recent orders for no good reason. Don't trust what they well you when you ask.Telling me "Unable to ship", which is total bs bc they have the shoes in stock in that size still on website.

Will not give me real answer when I ask.

Arbitrary shadow banning? They have not closed my account or anything and I have bought at least 50 pairs from them since Jan 21.
