 Again we do apologize for this frustrating situation and hope this helps the customer and look forward to working with them in the future.

We would like to apologize to this customer for any confusion they had with our return policy.  Our return policy which can be found at http://www.shoebuy.com/info/returns states Items must be sent back within 60 days from the purchase date, though during the holiday season (November...

1 – January 1) we'll give you up to 90 days from the purchase date to make gift-giving easierWe have reviewed this customers order and the conversations this customer has had with our customer service department.  We are unable to find any calls where a representative tells the customer they have 90 days to return and item and multiple times the customers states she is reading the information about the return time frame  from our website.We can certainly appreciate that this is frustrating for the customer as they do not wish to keep the shoes. We also understand this was not the resolution they were seeking.  However, our decision to not accept the return was made carefully and in accordance with our policies (for your reference: http://www.shoebuy.com/info/returns).  All companies have policies and standards by which we must adhere. We want to be sure that you and your fellow customers have the best possible shopping experience and that we delight all with every purchase, and our policies have been structured to help ensure this is the case.

Please apologize to customer for any misinformation received from our representatives as it does not state on our website where these [redacted] boots are manufactured. Many brands have multiple manufacturing plants here in the USA and overseas in Asia, South and Central America, and Europe. The...

suppliers warehouse cannot be searching for boots made in the USA as they have thousands of orders that they ship every day. Due to the inconvenience, we will be issuing a refund for this order. Customer can expect to see this refund posted on his [redacted] account ending in [redacted] in the next 3-5 business days.

[Since there has been no communication since the first rejection I have ordered a pair from another company and have received them already. How can a company charge my account on 11/27/2017 and can't give a shipping time when another company can do it in 1 day? Since Shoes.com can't fulfill a customer request why did they continue with the order when it was canceled the day prior? Even if the order were to stand they indicated they were going to refund 15% to my account which has not happened either. This company needs to focus on customer service and business practice. Refund my money and then I will return the shoes. Why would I even trust a company to refund my money when they've had it all this time and can't even process the order correctly. It would be only fair for them to use there money instead of the consuumers.

I am very disappointed in Shoebuy's decision not to stand behind their product. they are acting more like a fly by night operation than an established company. I am afraid I will have to recommend to everyone I know not to do business with shoebuy. Furthermore my complaint with the Revdex.com will remain for as long as Shoebuy decides to not do right by the customer.

We would like to thank this customer for shopping with us and apologize for the technical error they experienced when placing an order on our website.  This customer contacted us on November 18th, 2016 at which time we put the request in to cancel order # [redacted].  The order was already...

sent to the warehouse for processing and the customer was advised there was no guarantee we could cancel the order at that time.  We also responded to the customer via email on the same day at 10:22PM stating the same information, we were trying to cancel the order but could not guarantee the cancellation.  Unfortunately this order could not be canceled and did ship out to the customer.  On November 25, 2016 we spoke to the customer again and email him a prepaid [redacted] return label and let him know we would credit him back in full ($59.96) once the item was received back to our warehouse.  Per [redacted] tracking number: [redacted] this package should arrive at our warehouse on Friday December 2, 2016.  Once we receive the package we will process the return and credit in 3-5 business days.  We would also like to advise the customer it can take up to 10 business days for the credit to appear on their original payment methods statement.

I appreciate that ShoeBuy.com thanks me for my business, but do not see that representatives from the Customer Service department there are sorry that I have had a poor experience with this company.  If they truly were sorry, they would accept my return, place the shoes into a different shoebox, and resell them.  I say this especially because ShoeBuy.com acknowledges in this complaint response that the shoes were “in a new condition” when they arrived back at their distribution center in Boston, but were still “deemed” to be damaged despite this fact.  That’s bologna.  Besides that, I offered to pay for a new shoebox when I called to inquire about my return status.I am furthermore glad that someone “appreciates” my frustration, but that won’t refund my money, and I do not plan to increase my own personal shoe size to a men’s 15.  What I don’t appreciate (in addition to the lack of a resolution in-general) is that whomever responded to my Revdex.com complaint has attempted to explain “company policies” to me; I am a Human Resources Director and Generalist with over 10 years of Customer Service and Employee Management experience, in several different private and public environments.  I know policies.  I help to create them and communicate them to employees.  Being able to admit that a policy doesn’t work or needs to be amended is a very important part of policy-making.  With that being said, those of us who strive to provide good customer service should first and foremost understand that, in business, sometimes a company must take a small loss (though I wouldn’t call this a loss since there’s nothing wrong with the shoes, as they said) to ensure that their customers are satisfied.  I have not “delighted” in my purchase from ShoeBuy.com, and there is nothing anyone there can say to change my mind.  ShoeBuy and its lack of flexibility with regard to “policies” are abhorrent, and I want to restate that I will never purchase anything from ShoeBuy again.  If there is nothing else the Revdex.com can do for me, I'd appreciate being made aware (Unlike how ShoeBuy never contacted me to tell me that the shoes were being sent back to me, and I had to find out by calling to inquire about the refund I was expecting.).

We understand the customers frustration and apologize for this situation however our Customer Service Management team are all in agreement.  This customers order is in accordance with our return/exchange guidelines and the only way we are able to credit the customer back the restocking fees is if the customer orders two new items which we will still consider exchanges for the original items sent back.

What they are saying here is not what they are saying in the e-mails written to me. They say I can only exchange SIZE (which is not available in the correct size at this time for the blue boot) and if I attempt in the green boot, it doesn't allow an even exchange. The policy is deceitful since it won't allow an even exchange. I will continue to wait for the blue boot in a size 7 and will call regarding the green boot to see if an even exchange for color will be done over the phone. Regards,

  I was not notified about the return policy change.  I do not consider an "unnoticed" small print notice satisfactory.  why would I think to read the hidden small print to see if the company "secretly" changed its policy.  not a good or fair business practice.

I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted]. Please add your rejection comments below. I am appalled at being held financially responsible for receiving a pair of shoes that were shipped to me damaged from the manufacturer (as stated previously the soles of the shoes were in perfect condition, yet there was no paper in the box received at all. My mistake was trusting that the product was "new" and not examining the shoes more closely), and subsequently accused of lying about this when I called to find out why and tell Shoebuy I had not worn them.Since Shoebuy for some reason decided they no longer wanted me as a customer by not accepting the fact that the manufacturer sends out damaged shoes, and held me responsible for them financially, I am not surprised they did not also want to practice good customer care and refund me for the "restocking fee" that was suddenly changed. Clearly, they are not interested in keeping the business of their long term customers. I sincerely hope that the Revdex.com decides to support me and lower their rating, and post this message as a warning to other customers.
