    I purchased a pair of women's New Balance Running shoes from shoes.com for about $85. I really liked the shoes and I was planning on keeping them so I threw away the box they came in. After a month and a half of wearing them 3 days a week for an hour, the pink part of the sole was completely worn away, while the rest of the sole was unworn. Being dissatisfied, I returned the shoes with an explanation that they were defective. I kept checking shoes.com for the status of my return and when the return status was no longer visible on the website, I called to find out the status.

    The customer service rep told me that the shoes were being returned to me because they were worn, dirty and missing the original box. I explained I had to return them this way because I planned on keeping them until I found out they were defective. I put all of these comments in the online return form only to have my comments ignored. The CSR would not do anything other than repeat why the return was not accepted. There's nothing more frustrating than having a CRS that doesn't know how to help customers. I told him exactly what he needed to do to satisfy my needs and he said I needed to escalate my call to a supervisor. I explained I don't work there and by the tone of my voice (angry) he should know that it's HIS JOB to escalate the call, not mine.

    Finally I got a supervisor on the phone that gave me the same spiel about the shoes being worn, dirty, etc. I said none of that matters because they're defective. The supervisor said they would review my case and get back to me within 3-5 business days. I received the shoes the next day with a note indicating shoes.com could not resold. 5 business days came and went and I never heard back from shoes.com so I disputed the transaction with my Costco Citi Visa Credit Card and received a full refund within 24 hours. I will never purchase anything from shoes.com again. EVER!

    On July 13 I ordered a pair of slippers for my wife's birthday. While I was 30 miles away and no one home, the tracking information indicated the package was delivered. Get home and no package. I call customer service and they tell me a claim has to be put in with UPS and then I will get a credit. All I want are the slippers. The claim was put in and eventually the UPS driver even came to my house to ask questions. He told me he was off the day of delivery and it looks like his substitute tossed the box near my door per GPS and the box was stolen. According to the response on PayPal, Shoes.com UPS alleges I personally received the package, then they had a second response and apparently it was received by someone I never heard of. Will never buy from the again. Learned my lesson.

    I ordered a pair of shoes for a child on the 1st of August with a 20 dollar extra fee for next day air. I contacted them the next day to find out when the shoes would be here and they were like next week sometime. So I asked to speak to a manager and the man asked me "why" because he needs a reason to get a manager, I said because I don't want to talk to you any longer and he said that's not a reason. So they charged me for next day air knowing that because of the way they process things that it wasn't going to be possible that it wasn't going to be there in a couple of days. Total bad business to treat your customers this way. Not trying to be hard but one would think if you pay next day air on a Tuesday you ought to at least get it on that Friday but not the next week.

    Deceptive advertising with a 25% off the site, that did not apply to my shoes. That should have been my first "red flag." Received the shoes, way too small, discovered that there is a restocking fee. The shoes I ordered are not available in the size that I need, so not possible to make an exchange. I would not recommend this site for shoes, there are many other sites with better customer service.

    Ordered a pair of shoes from Shoes.com. After reading the description of the shoes decided to try them because they were described as having good support and a patent pending design for good support. I have problems with my feet. I received the shoes with no problem, but I wore the shoes for about 1/2 day inside my house with socks on - the shoes did not have near the support advertised so I knew I wouldn't be able to wear them.

    Returned the shoes including a note telling them I have foot problems so could not wear the shoes because they did not provide the support as advertised. Indicated I wanted a refund. 3 weeks later I received the shoes back with a note saying they could not give me a refund because the soles and insoles were dirty and the shoes could not be re-sold. This was completely false - the shoes were not dirty at all and returned in perfect condition. I called customer service and asked to speak to a supervisor who told me they take pictures of the shoes and that they would do an "image review" and for me to call back in 2 days to see what they decided. I told her I did not see how they could make a determination by looking at pictures and she insisted they could.

    Ok so I called back in 2 days and of course they stuck to their story of the shoes being dirty. I told them I did not agree as the shoes were returned in perfect condition and in the same box. The supervisor just kept saying she understood, but they would not refund my money. I then asked for the phone number for their corporate office which she gave me, but then all of a sudden she was offering me a 30% discount on another pair of shoes. I then asked for the address for their corporate office and she said they were not allowed to give out the corporate address over the phone!! I then asked "How are people supposed to write to the company in that case?" And she told me I could search for the address on Google!! Pretty shady if you ask me. This is bad business on the part of Shoes.com. I won't be doing business with them anymore and neither will my friends and family which amount to quite a few customers being lost on their end.

    I rarely take time to pass along valuable information to consumers, but I feel compelled to do so now. I had never ordered from this company before, and failing to research their ratings, I made the mistake of ordering some shoes from them. (I have ordered from 6pm.com countless times, so I figured that Shoes.com was a reputable company as well. MY bad!!) The shoes I ordered were name brand shoes, known for their comfort in helping those of us with feet issues. The price seemed good, so I ordered 2 pair of shoes. When I received them, I determined that the shoes were clearly defective/not true to size. (With labels like this, I immediately thought they were NOT genuine name brand products, as these 2 companies have a reputation to uphold.)

    I called Shoes.com and asked for a return label, as well as a FULL REFUND, since they had sent me defective, counterfeit products. They refused to return my shipping costs... AND on top of that, they charged me RESTOCKING FEES! This is criminal, and I have no idea how this scam company hasn't been removed by the Consumer Protection Agency. They don't do their job in protecting consumers from the millions of scammers out there. With all of these other bad reports about Shoes.com (on this site, AND other sites), something surely should have been done by now... but since that is unlikely, I AM HERE TO WARN CONSUMERS, NOT TO BUY FROM SHOES.COM. This is a total scam website. I hope this reaches many others. I do not wish to leave either my order number or receipt, as I don't want to subject anything personal that can be used by hackers. Just take me on my word, consumers!!

    I wish I had read the reviews prior to ordering. Because I had given these shoes as a gift to someone else and the box was inadvertently thrown away, the shoes could not be returned. The shoes were the wrong size and so could not be worn. We had all the other tags and info though. I know what company will never get any of my business again.

    You have to use this company's customer service department to open a gone-missing delivery. THEY contact UPS and UPS calls customer and IF you miss the phone call, it is assumed you don't want to open the case and you start all over again with the process. WHAT kind of service is that? I wish I had read this site and the reviews before I ordered. Bad service, bad all the way around. Their delivery time is just disgusting along with an attitude from customer service.

    Received 5 pairs ordered, as requested. Son did not like 3, so called in, while on computer, doing exchange. Had 1st person on Phone and this is how it went: Wanted to exchange to avoid the $7 dollar 'restock' charge. Total credit / exchange for $237.94. First Call: On phone with lady, I can see my order, with option to exchange on website - but I'm on phone to make sure correct exchange. She did something on her end while on phone, and I could not process the exchange on line. She says, "You have to pay for new order to exchange!” I say, "What?! You just locked me out of my own exchange. No, I will not pay again, when I am exchanging." She says, “Oh, OK, I will take the new order, when we receive all 3 pairs, we will ship out exchange."

    Gave her the items with codes and all description as appeared on site. She emailed 3 labels for 3 pairs. I informed will send all in one box, she replied, "Place only one label on box." Almost 2 hours on phone. 7/5/17 week later called as informed on 1st call. Spoke with Brian, check tomorrow, products not in. 7/6/17 spoke with Cary, informed I received one email, with one product return. She said waiting for 2 others, I informed, they all shipped together, and placed one label, other 2 inside box as instructed. She put me on hold and came back to say all 3 received.

    Have to wait 1-10 days for credit and no charge for restocking will be applied as I requested exchange. Expect 3-5 days for emails with credits to be received. Almost 2 hours on phone. 7/7/17 spoke with Regina. This is where it really gets hipped on the scheme. Received 3 emails and one charge with restocking fee $6.95. Asked why charged fee? Exchange items 2 'out of stock' and '1 unavailable'. What does Unavailable even mean? Put on hold. Comes back and she said, "Well, it seems we can ship the 'unavailable' item to reimburse the restocking fee but you have to pay again." 'Why? You have received the return 3 items, and I have no credit on my credit card." She again repeats the names of 'out of stock' and I said, I requested exactly that model. “Oh notes show different color." But you have to give your card to place the order as the credit is in process and we can void the restocking fee.

    So, they did not place the exchange as requested. They had 3 items returned. They charged me the restocking fee, even though I was told I would not be charged. Requested exchange, and it was not done. 2 hours on phone. Overall, I was polite, patient and laughed, and because of that, they were polite, but it is a scam. As principal, I am disputing the restocking fee with my CC, but the fact that 1st person did not allow me to do exchange to recharge me for new items; that 'all items' requested 'out of stock' and 'unavailable' to send exchange and then say, oh yes we can, you have to pay again, and all the time on phone.

    Save yourself the headache. Not worth it, and the shoes where not cheap, I ended buying all 5 because one happened to be on sale. If you want same shoes, at same price elsewhere, avoid this company at all means. The biggest rip off scheme, take into account, $6.95 x 5,000 people being scammed to buy in a day in the country = they make $34,750 a day on restocking scheme. As I told Regina before hanging up, “You lost a good customer, as you see I spent over $300 dollars in one purchase, as most purchases I do online for convenience and save drive time, for a $6.95 charge and exchange scheme. Shoes.com must be making great money out of this rip-off scheme."

    It is unfortunate as a first time user/customer of shoes.com that I would have to write a very dissatisfied review. I purchased a pair of Dansko Helen Sneakers for my mom as a gift on June 13, 2017. I expected the shoes to take longer than 5 business days, and possibly 10-14, but not anything more than that. After 10 days, June 23, 2017, I called 844-200-8414 and the representative provided me with the disclaimer that since the package is getting shipped to a P.O. Box that it would take a little longer than 5 days.

    After a few more days have passed, I tried tracking the package through the link provided in my email but I received an error. I knew it worked before because I checked the shipping status before making my first inquiry over the phone. I thought, it is possible that the website is going under development or something technical that will be resolved by the next day.

    I tried tracking the package again the following day and the same error occurred. I called 888-200-8414 to inquire about the status of the package on June 27, 2017. The gentleman I spoke to also had the same issue I did but somehow he was able to provide me with an update that it was last scanned in Illinois. I then shared my frustration of the process and asked how long it would be before the shipment makes it to my mother and he told me no later than July 5, 2017. I asked to speak with his supervisor and he said she was in a meeting but he'd have a supervisor call me. Gloria called a few hours after and left a voicemail. I didn't get a chance to call her back, hoping by July 5th the package would arrive and all would be well. Before we got off the phone, I mentioned I really wanted her to have it before the 4th of July and it reassured me The package will make it by July 5th.

    Today is July 6, 2017, and the package has not been shipped to the P.O. Box. Today's inquiry, I spent more than an hour on the phone, of which the first representative had me on hold close to 20 minutes trying to find a supervisor. The lady told me my package was delivered and should have received it June 22, 2017. I briefed her of my correspondence for the last few weeks and all she can provide me was the delivery date that was not accurate. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was placed on hold numerous times. I believe I asked to speak with her supervisor 4 times before finally getting through to a supervisor.

    I was then connected with Mrs. **, Customer Service, Supervisor in Boston, MA. During our interaction she started polite and professional. However, the more questions I asked and providing her details of each interaction I've had such as everyone I have had interactions with each has provided a different story and timeline, the more impatient she was getting.

    From my understanding of how she explained the delivery/shipment process is that my order was last scanned in Illinois on June 22, 2017 by shoes.com's carrier UPS. Since the shipping address is to a P.O. Box it has been turned over to USPS... which at the point, Customer Service cannot provide any details of the tracking status because it's not the organization's carrier.

    She suggested that I reach out to the local USPS and track the package myself. *As a customer, I strongly do not agree that I should follow up and track a purchase through a different portal/Organization. I recommended that she or the process that is currently at place should research where my purchase is and provide me with a follow up. As a customer, I am already frustrated and have been on the phone with shoes.com for over the allotted time I anticipated and now I am being directed to do more Research on a purchase I made over 3 weeks ago.*

    She also stressed that shoes.com mentions that shipments to a P.O. Box takes longer than physical addresses. She mentioned P.O. Box shipments take an additional 10-14 days. *I fully understand as this was a disclaimer I read when I purchased the item... however, I never read a disclaimer with specific timeframes for delivering to a P.O. Box. If I would have known it'd take up to 2 weeks (in this case it's been more than 3 and still don't have it) I could have easily purchased the Dansko's at a store and ship it myself! The issue I have is that I was reassured that I would receive the package no later than July 5, 2017.

    I asked her to send me an email with the tracking information, any process or steps I need to do to find my package since Shoes.com will not. She committed to sending it to me within and hour of disconnecting and it's past an hour and I do not have the email. I also recommended that the gentleman who provided me with incorrect dates about my package arriving no later than July 5th would be properly trained. Mrs. ** said she'd give me a follow call sometime after 12 p.m. EST on Saturday, July 8, 2017.

    Yesterday I ordered a pair of Skechers shoes from Shoes.com. I read the info about how it could take up to a week to receive my order unless I chose express delivery. So I paid $20 extra for express delivery which is supposed to get here today. I was curious to find out what time today I was scheduled to receive my shoes so I called Shoes.com. When I called I was instructed to press 0 for a representative. So I did. A man who couldn't speak English very well answered. When I asked him when I could expect my order today he hung up on me. So I called back.

    This time I got a girl who asked me for my order number which I gave. I asked her what time today I would get my item. She referred me to the small print which clearly states express delivery, which I paid for, would not take the wait. So I said I paid for express delivery. She didn't say anything. So I asked her if I could get my money back for next day delivery and she hung up! This so called company should be closed down. If anyone out there reading this wants to go into a class action suit, contact me.

    I have never written a negative review on the internet -- I don't like negativity -- but I feel compelled to this time because I was just treated so badly by the Shoes.com customer service department. Paid an extra $20 for 1-day shipping, but shoes are slated to take at least 4 days to get to me -- and customer service rudely told me that shoes take a few days to "process," so even if I ordered 1-day shipping, I was unreasonable to expect them to get to me in 1 or 2 days. Didn't I read the website, explaining processing time, they told me condescendingly... When I asked for refund on $20 shipping fee, they were real **. I have never been treated so badly by a shoe customer service department! Stupid on their part to lose a customer over $20. They could have just apologized and refunded that shipping fee. Instead they put me on hold, cut me off, said that no manager was available to speak to me about it, etc. This is no way to run a business.

    My wife and I bought 3 pairs of flip flops from Shoes.com and all three were wrong! We tried to call customer service, which reps were all rude and disrespectful. They were unwilling to waive the 6.99 restocking fee for EACH ITEM as per policy. So we had to find another product online to exchange for the product. We finally found a Patagonia jacket to make an exchange for to avoid the ridiculous restocking fee; however, when we finally received a call from the manager the following day, all Patagonia products were temporarily removed (HOW CONVENIENT).

    Long story short, this is by far the worst customer service/retail experience my wife and I have ever experienced in our 30 years of existence. If you happen to find this post, please realize that we never leave comments so take this post seriously when considering Shoes.com.

    Since the change from shoebuy.com to Shoes.com now they charge $6.95 for a restocking fee when it used to be free shipping and returns. I bought A LOT of my shoes at shoebuy.com because I'm a different shoe size depending on how the shoe is made. I'd buy the shoes in two different sizes and return the one that didn't fit. Looks like it's back to the bricks and mortar stores where I can actually try the shoes on. IMO, it's bad business practice to not post on the main web page that they now charge a restocking fee, but I guess like most companies shoes.com is greedy for gain and screw the customers. Won't be buying from them again, nor would I recommend them. Sad because I used to always give Shoebuy.com the highest rating.

    I ordered four pairs of shoes from Shoebuy. They initially charged me for all the shoes I had ordered as one lump sum. Then I noticed individual charges for the same shoes. One by one as they would ship I would see these additional amounts debited from my bank account. So in essence I was charged twice for the same shoes. It took about 5 days before the hold on my account for the "lump sum" amount was removed. I called them up and asked why they would do that? The answer was that's how they do business. In the meantime I did not have access to my money for five days. Either they bill for the whole amount on a multiple item order or they bill for the individual items as they ship (like Amazon), but they should not be able to do both.

    Don't waste your time here. They are scammers. I paid for next day delivery but shoes arrived 3 days later. No longer needed the boots, so I called for a full refund.

Made order before cutoff time. They finally said ok on return shipping. Now, I know there was a restocking fee but the whole mistake of me no longer needing these shoes was on them. So, why should I pay a restocking fee?

    BEWARE! Shoebuy DOES NOT offer free returns. Received a pair of shoes and they were too small, went online to get a return label and that's when I noticed the company charges a $6.95 restocking fee for a return. When clicking on the website, in bold letters you will see FREE SHIPPING + Free Exchanges. That's the catch, it is only when you exchange an item that you do not have to pay a restocking fee. What's frustrating about the way they advertise is, unless you open the return policy page and scroll down is when you will see that ONLY an exchange is free of charge. At the very least, there should be an asterisk by the free exchanges which outlines the difference between an exchange and a return. The company must have hired an attorney to help them with this deception.

    As far as I'm concerned, this is FALSE ADVERTISING at its best. From now on, I will be ordering strictly from Zappos, a company which does offer totally free returns. Wish I had read the complaints about this company before ordering. Shoebuy has lost any future business from me and from anybody else that I will tell. Social network and word of mouth is a powerful tool nowadays and maybe Shoebuy will get the point that people don't appreciate being duped so they can make a sale.

    I bought 2 pairs of Vaneli heels, one light gold, the other white, both with contrasting vinyl trim on the toe and heel. I have worn the white pair only once in the summer. Today I took the white pair out of the box and discovered the toe of the right shoe had turned yellow! They are a complete loss as the shoes now do not match. I have had them a year so I can't return them, but I have never had a shoe do this. They must be seconds as Vaneli obviously didn't use the same material on the toe of both shoes. I have a narrow foot and am very hard to fit, so this is a complete disappointment. I would have returned the shoes within the return period but didn't need to as they matched when I got them. I will never trust Shoebuy again as I might get defective shoes again and find out too late to return them.

    I just called to inquire if I could find out the delivery date since it was not listed on confirmation. Customer service stated 10 days. I said I would like to cancel the order unless I could express them. I was told express was not available for my order. He stated that he could not cancel my order because it was processing. I said, "What has not processed? You said it was processing." He stated he would have to contact the distributor tomorrow and I would hear something back in 3 days. WTF.

    Most unprofessional place I have ever dealt with. The shoes I bought were not cheap. I asked for his name and he said, "My name is Steve." I said, "I need more info than that." "I am the only Steve here." I find that hard to believe. I am very frustrated. Someone needs to do something with this company. Did they change their name because they got such a bad reputation? Please do not order from this company. I did not even want to give them 1 star but that was not an option.

    I have purchased shoes from Shoebuy for many years, I recently bought 1 pair of men's shoes that we ugly is the only word I can use. They had a composite safety toe that made the shoe look really industrial. So, I immediately returned the shoes. At that time I was informed that Shoebuy was sold to Walmart or Jet? And was no longer the same company. I found that they now charge a restocking fee for all/any returns, of $6.95. When I found this I complained that this was very misleading and had I known this I would never have bought any more shoes there because since you cannot try on the shoes when you buy online you must be able to return without being charged. Please do not be deceived, this is not the old Shoebuy which gave NO RESTOCKING CHARGE. Save yourself the grief, go to Zappos/Amazon, Amazon has much better customer service, better prices and more selection.

    I placed an order for some boots on Shoes.com this morning and realized I accidentally ordered the wrong ones. I called them not even 5 minutes after I placed the order to cancel because on their website it says you can cancel by calling them. The woman I talked to said I could not cancel my order and that I just have to receive the boots and then PAY A FEE TO RETURN THEM. Why waste so much time and resources to send them when they can just cancel my order and not send them at all? Very very poor customer service!!!

    NEVER, NEVER, NEVER order from here. I purchased 2 pairs of sneaker for my mother for Mother's Day. I paid for expedited two day shipping. The sneakers came 7 days later... Well past Mother's Day. Since they didn't arrive, I had to go out and buy two more pairs. I called Shoes.com to return them when I was told that I would be charged a $6.95 per item to return them but if I were to exchange them, I wouldn't be charged the fee. I told them to exchange them for a different size.

    A few days after sending them back in I received an email stating that they received my RETURN and I will be refunded the purchase price minus the two restocking fees. I emailed them back and they said that a exchange wasn't processed so I have to call, once again, to get that processed. I called and they said they would process and refund the restocking fee and I would get a email stating this. No email... Yet another call. They had no information regarding my exchange. I now wait, once again, to receive the confirmation email but definitely not too hopeful.

    I ordered a pair of shoes in a size based on their recommendations even though the size was too large. When I received them, I tried them on, walked around my house and decided I wanted a smaller size. So I went online to process the exchange, ordered another pair in the smaller size and actually decided to order a second pair along with that spending over $200 (which they charged my account for immediately even before I had been credited for the exchange). The same day I delivered the shoes to be exchange to UPS. I received the 2 other pairs and they fit fine.

    Now today I receive a UPS tracking number in my email from Shoes.com saying I have a package being delivered tomorrow. So I called them today and they said that I am unable to return the shoes that I was exchanging because I wore them. I wore them in my house to try them on which apparently you can't do because now they are not accepting them back and sending them to me!!! So now I am out $300!!

    Ordered a few pair of shoes for myself and hubby. One of the pairs for hubby was a bit big, so I called customer service they suggested I order a half size smaller and when I returned the larger pair I would get a full refund with no restocking charge. Well received the smaller size and they were too small, hubby said he would keep the first pair. I called for a return label and was told because I was returning the smaller size that was ordered after the original order I would have to pay a restocking charge. I asked to speak to supervisor, someone called me back said her name was ToniAnn, who knows who I was really speaking to? I was told "No", you must pay restocking charge. I said I have been a customer since 2013 it didn't make a difference. They are an ok company as long as you DO NOT RETURN ANYTHING!

    I bought 2 pairs of size 10 shoes April 2017. Arrived at different times. One was fine, the other were brand new, very cute shoes but they had sent me the wrong size. Instead of a 10 they sent me a 6. I called the same day they arrived to request an exchange for sending me the wrong size. They explained that the size 6 is the only size they have in stock so I could just return it. I had to argue with them and speak to a supervisor to get them to agree not to charge the $6.95 restocking fee since it was their mistake. I was emailed a UPS return label that I printed & boxed back up the shoes all in the same day they arrived. UPS picked them up from me 3 days later. Thought everything was fine UNTIL about a week later I received the shoes back from Shoebuy with a note saying the shoes had been worn so they couldn't give me a refund.

    I was really confused & upset because I knew I hadn't worn these shoes because I literally couldn't have worn them since they are a 6 and I wear a 10!! At this point I knew the company had screwed me and I was not going to get my money back. Even though they had a record that I had called the same day they arrived, that they had issued me a return label, that UPS had shipped them back 3 days later, none of that mattered. I called them and they claimed they had a picture of the shoes when they were returned and they show they have been worn. They are right about that. These shoes they returned to me have definitely been worn. But they are wrong that these were the shoes I had returned to them. The shoes that came to me were brand new. These shoes they returned to me were obviously not the same pair.

    I called them at least 3 times about the issue and they said they would do an "investigation" which consisted of them telling me about the picture. Absolutely nothing I can do. I am stuck with paying for a used pair of shoes not even in my size. Smh. My only explanation for this screw-up is that they mixed my shoes up with someone else's return. I have bought shoes with this company before and had good results. I never imagined something like this could happen. And if it happened one time, it can happen again. Won't EVER trust or buy from this company again! I advise others to stay away as well.

Customer Service at shoes.com informed me they will not refund my money and will not send a replacement because the shoes were delivered. (A Land's End order was also stolen that day but Land's End immediately resent the order at no charge to me. Clearly, the policy at shoes.com is not the industry standard.)

No one contacted me about delay, if they had I probably would have cancelled. Called customer service, (in another country) requesting explanation.

    I purchased a pair of Stacy Adams shoes - size 11 Wide from Shoebuy.com on 4/14/2017. When the shoe arrived the box was correctly marked "11 Wide" but the shoes were quite narrow; someone had placed a pair 11 Medium shoes in the box marked 11 Wide. Additionally with a ballpoint pen someone had marked a "W" over the "M" on the embossed size label inside the shoe. I called Shoebuy and informed them of this issue and I sent the shoes back for a full refund. Now this return was through no fault of my own but yet they wanted to charge me a restocking fee of $6.95. After finally agreeing not to charge the fee they credited my account and charged the fee anyway. Their word is not their bond; I have purchased many pair of shoes from Shoebuy.com over the years - but never again. I used to talk highly of Shoebuy, now I talk lowly.

I requested and received a return label via internet and shipped them back in their original box, all materials included, April 12. They were tracked and received on Monday morning, April 17.

    When I spoke with the customer service rep (they're nothing more than a call center on the other side of the globe) I was assured that no re-stocking fee would be charged if the shoes were defective, and that a refund would be issued within 3-5 business days.

    I ordered 2 pairs of Keen boots for my husband for work knowing that keen is a reputable brand and since he has been wearing keens for years. Unfortunately one pair was defective. I contacted Shoebuy and was told to return the boots. I asked how long it would take to get a replacement and was told that as soon as they (shoebuy) received confirmation from UPS that they were shipped and new order would be placed and the boots would be on their way. They did state that the boots would be coming directly from the manufacturer so shipping time would be up to keen. I mailed the boots back on 4/11/17. On 4/17/17 when I had no boots and had not heard anything from shoebuy I contacted them.

    The first woman I spoke to indicated to me that they had not received them yet (she did have confirmation of them being shipped) and that there was nothing she could do until shoebuy received them in their warehouse. I explained what I had been told previously about there being a new order as soon as ups confirmed shipment but still said, "Nothing I can do." When I asked for a supervisor I was disconnected. This happened 5 times. FINALLY I was put through to Paul. He then told me I needed to place a new order and pay for the boots again. Otherwise I would have to wait 10-14 business days for the warehouse to process the return and after that they would place a new order.

    When I made it very clear I was not going to put out another $200 for boots I already paid for he said they would contact keen the following day. When I asked why they would call that day he stated keen was closed for patriots day. I called keen myself and verified that they were not closed, they were very much open and all that was required for a warranty claim is a phone call from Shoebuy to keen. I then called Paul back to see him, let him know he lied to me about keen and his story changed to their warehouse was closed. I agreed to give him till midday on Tuesday 4/18 to rectify the situation.

    At 330 I received a call from Paul stating that keen will not send out another pair without a new order. So I said, "OK place the order." Paul then told me I would have to pay 200. When I said, "I have already paid you. You have the defective boots in your warehouse. I am not paying you again." I was told I would have to wait 10-14 business days for the warehouse to process my returned boots.

    Being furious at this point I hung up and asked my husband to call. He did and spoke with a different supervisor named James. Who again said they wanted another $200. When he refused and said, "Just send me my damn boots" James stated they wouldn't be sending anything. Despite the fact I have already returned them to shoebuy. At this point I am left with no choice but to call my credit card company. And reverse the charges. SHOEBUY IS A GROUP OF LYING THIEVES. They will tell you whatever they have to until they get your money then you're on your own. If I lived in Massachusetts I would file theft charges.

An update should be provided within 24-48 hours." I sent a third email on 4/11/17, after the 48 hour period. Today, 4/13/17, I called customer service and asked to speak with a supervisor. The first person I spoke with (a woman) took my information and asked me to wait a moment which turned out to be more like 10 minutes before the phone went dead.

    I call back, this time I spoke with a man but he had a heavy accent and it was difficult understanding him. I asked for the supervisor and he put me on hold for a moment then returned saying that my return was under investigation and they would let me know once it was complete. I said "NO, you investigate all you want but I want my account credited with that return of $81.01 immediately." He asked me to hold again and returned a moment later and said I should get the credit within 1 to 2 business days. I asked him for the supervisor's name but I could not understand him so I asked that he spell it.

Apparently they charged me for a second pair shoes until they receive the original product (2 to 5 business days). Usually when you return something and I get scanned by UPS or FedEx the charges are returned. They obviously are not up to date on technology, and their customer service is exhausting.

    Twice my SO ordered a pair of running shoes in a particular color, and TWICE he was sent the wrong color! Both times he called and spoke with a customer service representative about returning the items wrongly sent to him, and both times the rep wanted to charge him a restocking fee! He had to argue with two different reps that it was his fault that they (Shoebuy) sent the wrong shoes so why should he have to pay a restocking fee? Each rep told him they had to speak with a supervisor in order to not charge the restocking fees so then he had to insist that the reps speak with a supervisor in order to get the restocking fee waived. The first time the wrong item was sent; he did as instructed, printed a return label, and since my SO works 60 hours /week, I was inconvenienced having to drive to UPS in order to return the wrongly sent item.

    The second time he was sent a wrong item, he asked that they (Shoebuy) call UPS and have UPS come to our house to pick up the second wrong item that was sent to him. He was told by the rep named Kisa(?) that she would, again, have to speak to a supervisor, however, that all supervisors were very busy with other escalations (hmmm, probably because many other orders were incorrect) and that she would have a supervisor call him back. He questioned if that would actually happen, and Kisa(?) went on to promise him that she would speak with a supervisor and personally call him back within the next two hours. That never happened!

    I ordered 2 pairs of shoes, when they arrived one was defective, by that I mean that the sole was uneven, and wobbly, and the other was too big. So after a very lengthy wait for an operator, I was notified that I needed to send them back and they would see "if they were defective", the other pair I wanted to return for a smaller size. She then tried to explain their charge and credit system, which did not make a whole lot of sense, but I did what I was told, printed out a return label and wrote down the problem and mailed back. 10 days later I received a notice that they received ONE pair and was sending another one... Now I called, waited again for an operator, and was told that yes indeed they had received both pair, and they were sending me one back, they "did not find it defective".

    "What about the other pair," I asked. "Oh you got credit for it," she said. I replied that they did not send me a confirmation to that effect, again she said well they did and it would appear on my bill (Let's see). Now I just received a box from ShoeBuy and guess what?? The same defective shoes are back in my house!!! I am so exasperated that I don't know what to do... They might have great shoes but doing business with them is a CHALLENGE... A very frustrated customer.

    Very poor customer service. They don't care at all. Order a shoes at 9.5 they send me 6.5, when I call they want to charge me for shipping return of $6.99 for their own mistake. When you want to do exchange they charge you twice and then you have to wait 5 to 7 business days for your $ back. I will never ever order anything from them again. Shoebuy is the worst place that you can buy shoes. If I can give them 0 stars I will because that is what they deserve. Poor, poor process. I hate them.

    Purchased shoes from Shoebuy.com. They advised that I could get a magazine subscription or twenty dollars rebate on a current promotion. I completed the rebate requirements and submitted my application. I never received my rebate. After several attempts to phone Shoebuy they finally answered the phone. Shoebuy told me that I had to contact the rebate company. The rebate application gave only an address, no name or contact information. When I asked for the rebate company name and contact number. Shoebuy hung up on me. I suspect that no promotion existed. Now I know why they have poor reviews and why to never buy from Shoebuy again.

    Ordered pair of cowboy boots. Ordered size 12. Received size 8 and not the same style even. Could be issue with Dan ** who fulfilled order. However, since placed order with Shoebuy expected better service when called to explain issue. Have option of refund (ok) or order return boots for another attempt at getting order correct. No explanation why original order was so incorrect.

    So I took time to order boots. Make call to return (ensuring no re-stocking charge I hope) and now take time to deliver to shipper to return. Service person was nice enough but got impression return for refund was best "solution" as simpler. I would hope proper order would be fulfilled prior to return but never offered and no confirmation error made on their end. So guess it is adios Shoebuy.

    When my order had not shipped in three weeks, I cancelled it. They still shipped the shoes and are now giving me trouble about returning them. After being on hold twice for twenty minutes each time, I am still not being given any meaningful help. As a side note, the music played while you are on hold seems to be intentionally irritating. It is full of static which gets worse the longer you wait. As a person with some background in sound, I can tell you that having listened to this twice, the "static" is built into the recording to irritate the listener. Living in a remote area we do almost all of our shopping online. Shoebuy has been my worst experience ever and I will never buy from them again! This is a crooked company, please stay away from them.

    Wow I tell you I hate spending my money at places that don't care about their customers. I bought 7 pair of shoes and 3 of them were too small so I called and spoke directly to an agent to get an exchange (not refund). I wanted to make sure that the shoes I wanted were in my size. The agent verified that the size was in stock and I was good to go. The agent sent me a label for my package and off they went. Well to my disbelief I get an email stating that the shoes I ordered on the phone with an agent were out of stock now so they politely changed my order from a exchange to a refund and then charged me a 6.95 return fee!!! **. I asked them why was I being charged for a refund when it was clear I wanted an exchange? All they kept saying (rudely mind you) was that they have a restock fee on returns and since my shoe was out of stock it became an return.

    I asked 5 different agents and a supervisor why no one called me and asked me did I want another color or shoe before processing me a refund and charging me 7.00 per shoe fee? Yes you guessed it. NO RESPONSE!! WHEN I TOLD THEM, "JUST FORGET IT. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK THEN" and of course they refused. Said wait the 10 days and then call and replace another order and if I don't reorder in 10 days I will forfeit my return???!!! Then they go on to tell me that if I place another order and they don't have my size again I will be charged another 6.95! ** BS!!! Find another way to get your shoes.

    I purchased a pair of shoes from ShoeBuy because they were the cheapest price. First, it took three weeks to receive my order. In 2017, what company takes three weeks to ship a product? You can order from Amazon and get it the same day - with free shipping. When I finally got my shoes, I wasn't sure if I was happy with them. The fit was a little off and they were very stiff and uncomfortable. Shoes are something you need to actually wear to determine how the fit will be. Sometimes, they just need broken in.

    After wearing the shoes, I realized they are not going to work. Of course, ShoeBuy won't exchange them because they've been worn. That is a pretty unrealistic expectation. The brand of shoe is Keen, which I've worn for 10 years. I even contacted Keen, who takes back worn shoes, and they wouldn't take them back because they were purchased elsewhere. Now, I've wasted $100. I wish companies would stand behind the product and/or offer realistic return/exchange policies. Never again will I purchase from ShoeBuy.

I paid an upcharge for expedited shipment and I am not requesting anything back on that because that was a decision I made. The $6.95 however was never authorized by me and Shoebuy does not have my authority to keep my money without due process.

The item was scheduled to ship to the address I had on file from. The problem was NO (literally) customer service. I realized as soon as I received my order confirm that the shipping address was my former residence. I swear I typed in my business address as my shipping address because I knew better in December to have my order shipped to my home. Thieves were stealing shipped packages right off the porches of city residents for Christmas gifts. I found the Shoes.com customer care email address and immediately sent an email asking that they change the shipping address from the residential address on record to my work address (which I provided in the email) because I moved 6 months before. No response.

    Over several days I called the customer service number, each time waiting for a representative to answer. Twice I dialed the option to receive a call back without losing my place in line. Never received a call back. One time, I waited 25 minutes before I finally gave up. I came to realize that my only hope to receive my order would be through UPS. I had to pay a fee to request the shipping address change, but paying $3.50 to get my order sent to the correct address was better than paying $70.00 and getting nothing in return. After picking up my order at a nearby UPS Store, I, once again, emailed Shoes.com customer care and ranted about their nonexistent service and how UPS saved the day. Again, no response. I now visualize this business as just a warehouse, printing off orders and boxing up shoes. There is no call center. There is no management. PLEASE HEED THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND DO NOT KEEP THIS COMPANY IN BUSINESS!!!

    I bought my daughters Vans for Christmas from ShoeBuy. Biggest mistake. I returned a pair in the box I got them from. Called. They got them. Said I would get my refund once Paypal did their part. Little did I know that was a lie. So Paypal started a case against them (love PayPal). Any way got home Monday and the shoes I returned were back here at my house. They said they couldn't resell because of damaged box.

    Little do they know I took pictures. Box wasn't damaged so I called. They said they would email me a postage to return them. Wait 24 to 48 hours to get it so I did. Nothing came. Called again, "Ok we will send it again", confirming my email. Once again still nothing. Called for the 3rd time. "Oh sorry. We aren't emailing you a return. You can't return them." Really you told me twice you would from 2 different people. Now you taking it back. Who does that to a customer? I guess Shoebuy. Asked to speak to a manager, "Oh he's busy. Can he call you within the hour?" Did I expect a call? No. So I printed out a return label for one of the shoes I ordered on the same order and sent them back. Worst company ever.

I checked the status regularly because they never sent me an email to tell me that the boots were shipped. When January came I found out that my order had been canceled. I went to Shoes.com and found out that there were only a few sizes left but that mine was sold out. In addition, the price of the boots had increased. I tried to call their CSR number and heard an automatic voice saying that I was #15 on the waiting list.

    As other customers stated, Shoebuy quietly added "restocking fee" for the returns. I also found it out only after returning one of the two sizes I ordered. But the reason for today's review is above and beyond that. I ordered a pair of boots 8 days ago and have been waiting. When I checked my tracking number today, it showed that it was finally delivered today but to another town! Shoebuy customer service told me that it is the fault of UPS and I have to wait for 10 business days for UPS to investigate the case. If UPS finds my boots, they will reroute them to me, and if they don't, UPS will refund my account. Then I can order the same item again, and receive them probably another 8 - 10 days later.

    Since I am in desperate need of winter boots, I asked them if I can order the same pair today, and return the original pair in case UPS reroute them to me. The customer service rep (yes, I also spoke with her manager and heard the same answer) said that I will have to pay for the restocking fee for the return of the original pair! I couldn't believe it. It is no wonder that they get so many 1 star reviews here. I told them I am a long time customer of over 10 years - they kept repeating that I will have to pay for the restocking fee. I ordered another pair of boots from LL Bean after getting off the phone and they will be delivered in TWO days! Even if I might have to pay Shoebuy the restocking fee this time (I hope UPS just refund my account), I would never buy another pair of shoes from Shoebuy! Horrible customer service - such a contrast to Zappos.

    I really don't think that SB employees care about whether customers will return to the website. Twice I have called regarding a boot purchase. Twice I explained that the pull on the boot is defective. Cripes, I didn't even use the pull with the replacement boot and the pull STILL came off. But, I can live without the pull. I really need the boots for traction, not pulls. That said, I do not think I should be charged the total amount of the sale for a defective boot. I was told I have received the max discount for an order which was 30%. To which I responded... "Ok, if the boots were not broken I would be fine with this... Considering the boots were sold in new condition (not say "as is") and are still defective on both orders, I don't see how your company would not offered a partial refund?"

    I explained twice now that I would keep the boots for a discounted price instead of returning them. It's a hassle that is unnecessary to customers and twice now they have supplied me with defective boots. But twice I have been told that I only have two options: return and receive refund once the boots are considered defective or exchange them. This can't be the only two options. It's the missed opportunity to keep a customer happy that will keep me from returning to ShoeBuy.com. And it's really too bad, the other order we made was my daughter's Sketchers and they were fantastic and she loves them so much. Bad customer service overrides it though. I just won't deal with this any longer. Bye-Bye Shoebuy forever. It was nice, well... No it really wasn't nice at all.

    I ordered some awesome Hunter boots a while ago, unfortunately they did not fit. Not even slightly. Since then, I have tried calling 3 times to get the refund shipping label but to no avail - the length of hold was so long (literally hours!!!) that I had to finally hang up because I had client appointments. I tried their "keep your position in queue and get a callback" and gee - no callback. Today I have been on hold for over 2 freaking hours so far... I am MORE than disappointed in this company. Not to mention seriously angry. Do they not value our time? WTH? Oh - and like others I tried to get the return labels online and they never came. I tried multiple times.

    I feel hostage to them at this point - like they have stolen my money. This is HORRIBLE and I will NEVER use them again. Ever. Such a shame.

The back was too high and pushed against her achilles tendon. AFTER I completed the preliminary process for returning the shoes, I was advised by Shoebuy that I could be refunded the cost of the shoes LESS a $6.95 restocking fee.

There is no cancellation button not even if you order by accident... like most websites... I was going to order a pair of boots for my nephew who just got out of the military for the holidays and is returning the 1st of Jan.

I had all my info in the site and ready to purchase but changed my mind accidentally hitting the order or purchase button at 8:30 pm at night. So called them the very next morning to cancel and they said you are not allowed to cancel an order only return with a restocking fee?!?

    I made a purchase from Shoe Buy through eBay about 2 weeks before Christmas. They sent the wrong color. I triple checked my order, to make sure it wasn't my mistake. I sent photos & received no response from the company in 3 days so contacted eBay for a phone number for the company. I was told by the Shoe Buy company representative that I would have to pay to return the wrong color, so I terminated the phone call. I initiated a return through eBay so am unable to leave negative feedback for the seller. 2 weeks after my first eBay message to the seller/Shoe Buy, I finally received a reply. So, I spent nearly $70 on a pair of shoes NOT the color I ordered and Shoe Buy doesn't care. I don't have a printer to create the return label and I ordered the shoes because I needed to wear them for an event, so they will no longer take them back.

    In addition to $70 I've probably spent about 2 hours dealing with Shoe Buy & eBay because the company can't send the right color and takes weeks to respond to messages from paying customers. They got their $$ and that's ALL they care about. It is fraudulent to offer one product and send another. The company claims they do have the right color available, but I would have had to wait until they received the returned item, then wait again to see if they could send the right item before the event. OR I would have had to make a new purchase from them and hope the second time that they could get the order right. And it is a total lack of Customer Service to say a customer must pay to return the wrong item. I do not trust this company at all.

They would not cancel it even though it was past the shipping time they state. The other problem was we were flying overseas and I needed the shoes before we left. 16 days after the order was placed, 3 days after I asked to cancel the order the shoes shipped. We got them the day before we left. Meanwhile I found the same shoes for 2 dollars more on Amazon and they shipped and were received 2 days later. The worst part was I called customer service 7 times, never could get a supervisor, never was actually helped. I even wrote an email which was never responded to.

    I strongly recommend that you do not give any business to this company. They mislead their customers with online banners stating 3-5 business day delivery. I ordered a pair of boots and had them shipped out-of-state for Christmas delivery. In fact, the boots were ordered on 12/13 and they did not arrive on time. When I called, the supervisor, was extremely rude. He kept on saying "Prove it! After Christmas is acceptable!" He stated that they get additional time for processing so arriving after Christmas was still within the time frame. I was shocked to learn a company feels it is acceptable to place a MISLEADING DELIVERY banner to trick customers about timelines!!

    There are so many reputable companies that deserve your hard-earned money. And this is NOT one of them. Reputable companies, like LL Bean and Amazon, follow up, give REAL delivery dates, can process large volumes of orders from tons of customers daily, and treat their customers like they matter! Next time, I will use Zappos! And RUDE SUPERVISORS make the experience even worse. Shopper beware! You may wait up to 3 weeks for your delivery and I am sure they will have no issues charging your credit card immediately! I wanted to cancel the order; however, they told me it already shipped and I could not cancel it... but I have NO WAY to track... Hmmm.

I waited for notification of shipping until December 21st, 2016 and decided to call as I had not received a follow-up email. I made contact with a company phone representative who assured me that they would be shipped out that day and I would then receive delivery information.

I replied via email with dialogue similar to what I am writing now and received no response. I then called the company and was less than pleased with their canned response. I dislike shopping to begin with and do much of my Christmas shopping online to avoid hassles like these, now two days before Christmas I am left with very few alternatives.

However, when I printed out the email with instructions, I noticed they deduct $6.95 from the refund amount for a "restocking fee". This amount is about 25% of the total cost of the backpack.

    I am an AVID review reader when it comes to a new purchase. WHY I didn't read these reviews first is beyond me. I guess I just wanted the hubby to get the boots he wanted for Christmas. I placed my order on 11/22. I read the 5 day processing but thought I have plenty of time to still have them in by Christmas. I got ONE confirmation email from them shortly after my order was placed. I've heard NOTHING since. I called them on 11/30 for an update and she told me it should ship by the next day.... NOTHING.

    I called again on 12/6 and was told because I had a PO box in my address (even though I had my physical address on it. I have to include my PO box in case it goes to the post office b/c they will refuse it without it) it took a little longer but should ship by the next day. It's now 12/8 and I've still heard nothing. At this point I'm pretty sure I'll be cancelling the order and going somewhere to get something similar. Long story short... If you really could care less when you get the shoes, have at it. If you need them this season when they are still popular, you may as well hang it up.

    Updated on 01/03/2017: I continued to call the company weekly (sometimes twice a week) until December 20th. The gentleman I spoke to this night made it all clear as he smirked and laughed telling me he couldn't cancel my order and he didn't know when it would ship that was not getting the boots by Christmas, if ever. I never did call back until today, January 3rd, when I called to cancel my order. I had hoped after the rush of the holiday season they would calm down and ship the boots. It never happened. The lady I spoke with today didn't ask me why I wanted to cancel or try and save the order or anything. I was on the phone with her less than a minute. I told her I wanted to cancel my order, she ask for my order number and name and said she would 'put in the request to cancel my order and I would get an email when that went through.'

    Meanwhile there is nothing the bank can do either as far as putting a hold on any amount they try to process. The only good thing I can say about this company is luckily they don't take your money until the shoes ship because I can't imagine the time I would have trying to get money back from them. Lesson learned. People, please understand all these reviews are legitimate! Don't waste your time with this company.

Would hate to live in whatever miserable lowlife city, these uneducated bums live. They will rip you off!!! Try Zappos, a company that will not screw you over, then harass you over their mistake!!!

    I ordered boots as a birthday gift for my daughter and was assured they would arrive in time. When 4 days had passed and they still were being processed, I called and canceled the order. 3 days later it still showed the order as being processed. I called to make sure the order really had canceled. It had not. Even though it still is being processed a week later, I was told I now cannot cancel it and when they arrive I will be charged $6.95 return postage to ship item back. Very poor service!

    I ordered two pairs of shoes in Oct. I wore the above pair three times. The shoe split on the side on the third wear. I called on 11/11 and spoke to Gabriel. She said the shoe was out of stock, but she would replace it with a black pair of the other shoe ordered at no charge. At no time did she say I would be charged until I returned the defective pair. I checked my account only to see a pending charge of $84.93.

    I spoke with Regina today only to be told she saw where I had been refunded the amount for the shoe. She would not listen when I told her I did not see that on my account. She repeated the same info over. I told her I did not want the replacement shoe and to stop the pending amount, she then said I would be charged a restocking fee. Really for an out of stock, torn shoe! After 45 minutes on the phone she transferred me to her supervisor. I was on hold for him x2. He finally answered and explained why I had been charged. He said I would be charged until I return the shoes.

    I was planning to buy a pair of shoes for my mother's birthday. I purchased on Shoebuy.com three weeks ahead of time. After about two weeks, the shoes arrived but the shoes were defective. I immediately called the customer service about my situation, and after talking with three very rude agents, they asked me to order another new pair and use expedite shipping, just for making my deadline. The agent clearly said the expedite shipping can arrive in three days.

    However, the second pair was shipped out with ordinary shipping, which was too late. I talked with a manager and then maybe a senior manager on the phone, and they still refuse to do anything to solve my problem. In the end, I have to give my mom the defective shoes as the gift. The agents/managers are quite rude and are not willing to solve the problem. Their shoes are defective too. Do not buy on their website. They sell the shoes cheaper for a reason - they are defective and the customer service is the worse in the world!

    Order shoes & within an 1/2 hr really less time than that. I called cust service and spoke with Crystal to change the size I had originally ordered. She confirmed that my change was done while I was on the phone with her. I had also sent an email to cust. ser. And it took 3 days for a response but was confirmed that the situation was taken care of. Yesterday 11/2/16 lo and behold I rec'd the incorrect size shoe that was confirmed that it was changed. Called C/S this morning and notes in the order say that it was too late to change it so that is why. Long story short I asked for expedited shipping. No they can't–something about a bandwidth (supervisor Mrs **) oh yeah no first name with her... so I'm told takes 5 days to process orders but they couldn't & didn't change my order. So basically Mrs ** said "Well I will work with billing dept to get the same price." Really? Can't expedite because it take 5 days to process and they come from Florida to Woburn, MA.

    Really? Why does that take over 10 days? If I didn't want these shoes so much I would not have reordered from them. Now to see if they credit me in a timely manner. Unbelievable lack of customer service, honesty and policy and I think I would rather pay more than listen to the incorrect information they spew to cover their policies or lack thereof. No integrity. Oh another thing they said is that when I changed the size-again like I said, less than 1/2 hour there is no guarantee. What??? Pretty disappointing and onward and upward... they did send a return label... I'm going to make sure my order # is all over that return. I do not trust these folks. It will be interesting to follow and see if they honor the original pricing–I’m not trusting them at all on this–but will follow up and take it a step further if need be.

    Let me be clear. I have used Shoebuy.com in the past for large orders with great satisfaction, however my most recent experience with them has turned me away forever. I love Zappos and their customer service, but Shoebuy would email me some great coupons. I was aware of their return/exchange policies and restocking fees, but I did not know that I had to worry about them scamming me. Recently I ordered a pair of white-soled running shoes. I tried them on in my home two or three times trying to decide if the fit was appropriate. I decided they ran small and were too short so I decided to exchange them. I contacted customer service for my exchange, which meant that I would not have to pay the restocking fee, and I would not pay for the shipping expense. It all makes sense, right? I thought so. I received the new pair in a timely manner and returned the other pair back to Shoebuy.com. Nothing to it... then... I received the original shoes back from Shoebuy.

    What? Why would this happen? I note was included with the return that my shoes were: worn and not able to be resold. I was obviously confused and then I became outraged. The shoes were clearly not worn. I attempted to explain this to the customer service, however it was clear that they did not care. When I asked to speak with a supervisor, I was told by my representative, Shanice, "Good luck with that!" The supervisor did nothing for me. I was stuck with a pair of brand new shoes that did not fit me and were never worn. They were keeping my money. So this meant I had two pair of running shoes from Shoebuy. The original pair and the pair I had exchanged them for in my possession. I explained that I was unable to keep two pairs of shoes and that I would like to send back the pair that I had exchanged them for since they would not take back my original pair.

    I thought, at the least, they could waive the return shipping fee and restocking fee since they were refusing to refund my money for brand new clean shoes. Nope! No assistance whatsoever. I returned the shoes because I was not about to let them have more of my money. Now I am waiting to see if these are returned to me.

    I did not wear the shoes and I followed all of their rules and I still will not receive my refund because they state, "their official inspector at the warehouse had determined the shoes to have been worn." I have continued to email them with my repeated complaint that I never wore the shoes. It is nothing more than a scam. I have reported them to the Better Business Bureau.

    I spoke to customer service last night to lodge a complaint. I had to return 3 pairs of shoes and it was only when I went to the return page that I saw the $6.95 per pair restocking fee! I asked to speak with a supervisor but the woman I spoke with either did not understand enough English or would not transfer the call. I explained that their homepage said nothing about the restocking fee and it was, in my opinion, unethical to claim free shipping and exchanges but not mention their policy on returns until one went to make the return.

    I finally gave up and asked for shipping labels for the 3 items which were going to now cost me $28 including restock. She sent 2 separate labels and forgot the 3rd. Now I am forced to call again to get clearance for the third item. I told her they lost a customer and I hope others read this and use Zappos instead. Zappos is an honest company with great customer service. ShoeBuy offers what seems to be a great % discount to buy but what good is it if they sock it to you with all these fees?

    Overall this has BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I ordered a pair of shoes and paid extra for faster shipping. What they don't tell you (or it's in itsy-bitsy print) is that it takes 3-5 days just to PROCESS the order. (Hello? It's 2016. Do you not have computers?) Then it's another 3-5 days for shipping, but shipping can't be processed or happen on weekends. Um?? Really? So I asked to cancel the order. The person on the phone said he didn't know if he could cancel my order. What? Didn't know if he can cancel my order?? So he said, "I'd get an email if I could cancel, and if I can't cancel, I have to send them back."

    The web says there is no shipping to return BUT, hidden under the "Help" it lists you have to pay a RESTOCKING FEE!! I'd never, ever, ever order again. Order from Zappos or Amazon instead, where you're keep up-to-the-minute on our order from the moment you hit "Enter." Ordering from Shoebuy is like going back in time.

I ordered a pair of sneakers at a good price believing there will not be a problem (Too good to be true).

When the order was completed the sales rep went over the whole order with me including the size, sent me the return slip for the size 7.5 and charged my credit card a 2nd time.

    The next day I saw that the order was shipped, I reviewed the order and they sent me a size 5 instead of 8. I called again and asked if they can send me the right size while the 1st return was already in process, dropped off and scanned for pick up at UPS drop-off site. She said NO and stated my card will be charged a 3rd time if I want the right item shipped. I told her just send me the packing slip for this wrong item and I will never deal with this site again. Oh and also, the site will not let you complete an order online so that you yourself can make sure the order is right. The only way to order is to speak to a rep.

    PLEASE do not waste your time or money shopping from this company. I ordered dansko shoes on september 9, 2016 and paid the $20 extra for next day shipping. I never received an email stating my order had went out. I called and a lady was nice and told me that although you pay for next day shipping. It may take 1 to 5 day for the order to even process. I asked, "If that was the case could I cancel my order, being that I needed these shoes by next Monday on the 19th for my nursing program." She told me that she couldn't cancel the order. She said that she could look and see where the shoes was coming from, supposedly they were coming from Pennsylvania. Others had ordered around the same time that I ordered and their orders had been shipped already, so she assured me I would get the shoes in plenty of time.

    Monday the 12th I call because I still hadn't received a email. Talked to another person, she gave me a run around and did the same thing. Told me that my order would definitely arrive in time and that I should get a email soon. She also looked and said yes I show them going out tomorrow making it Wednesday September 14, 2016.

    So as of today at noon I still had NOT received an email. I called, another female gave me the same ole story just a different ship out time. She said they went out today September 15, 2016. They should arrive Tuesday September 20th. REALLY!!! I may not be the smartest person by all means, but if the shoes left today then shouldn't I receive them Friday possibly no later than Saturday. She said weekends don't apply. So obviously FEDEX in their state doesn't work on Saturday. Where I live FedEx and UPS both delivers on Saturdays. The $20 to them does not apply to next day shipping like we see it.

    So I asked to speak to her boss. Geez!!! Another female comes on the phone and says a bunch of BS just like the others. Lies after lies, needless to say, she said they were going to refund me the $20, that isn't the issue here people. Your website is misleading and when a person pays extra for next day shipping. There is a reason why they want to pay $20 so they can get them the next freaking day.

    I will NEVER EVER EVER order anything from this company. I read the reviews and gave them the benefit of the doubt. I am here to tell anyone shopping from this company is setting yourselves up for disappointment. Do not do it!!! I could have drove down the road, threw my $119.00 right out the window and been in the same boat. $99 for the shoes and $20 more so they would arrive next day.

    I told the lady I would be sending the shoes back because I would be buying some different shoes this weekend before Monday. Causing me to be out more money. Oh if you send them back you have a shipping fee and restock fee. However, being that they are sooo nice they will override the shipping fee so I can send them back free of charge. Still be charged a restock fee??? I am not happy. I should have known by the reviews, it is 50% my fault and 50% shoebuy.com. I just don't want anyone else to be mislead by this company. You are better off avoiding this company if at all possible. Spend your well earned money where customer satisfaction matters. It means nothing to these people.

    Make sure when you try to order an item and have it shipped next day air (which is a charge of $20) that you check with them before ordering. As they say, some items can be shipped next day air and some CAN NOT. They do not tell you that on the website as you are ordering your item. I also called after placing order and was told it would be shipped out that day. THAT WAS A LIE. Called back next business day and next customer service rep said no, the shoes I ordered can not be expedited. These were $149.00 shoes. So after the website makes you believe that it can and a call to customer service told me it would be. It is a lie. So please be aware.

    They did refund my $20 after I complained, but the whole reason I ordered from them was to get it shipped next day air like they advertise. Even talked to a supervisor. Was told he would check into and personally e-mail me, but again I was lied to. He did not and I had to call in to find out the status of my order. So in all I will receive my shoes a week after I ordered them. I believe for my time and inconvenience they should have offered more than a refund of my expedited shipping cost. As it was free shipping to begin with. I just needed them expedited as my husband was leaving and going out of town. WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN!!!

    First time user of Shoes.com and my experience was fantastic! I ordered 6 items total: two pairs of boots, a tee-shirt, pair of socks, running shorts and a running jacket. My order was completed in a very timely manner and almost everything came in on time as well - actually came early! Prior to my order being shipped, I had received an email stating that one of my items was canceled due to this item being out of stock and unavailable from their vendor. To make amends, they gave me a $10 off coupon (of course full refund for that item as well) which was fine by me and very satisfactory. Granted I was bummed (they were SUPER cute boots) but nonetheless, satisfied with how they handled it.

    When my order arrived, everything was the size I had ordered and of great quality. The running jacket I will be exchanging for a different size (I ordered wrong) and when I tried on the boots, they were a little too narrow for my foot so I looked into getting a wider size. Unfortunately, this item was a final sale item so I could not get a different size or refund.

    I called them to see if they would be willing to do a credit and their customer service rep (Sabrina at ext. **) was INCREDIBLY nice, very patient and beyond helpful! After speaking to her supervisor, they were able to come to a solution that worked fairly for both parties. A return label was emailed to me promptly and things are moving along. As for the canceled item - right now it shows pending on my credit card statement. When it all goes through and is processed, it will reflect the difference of that item. Overall, I am BEYOND very satisfied - even with having to make exchanges... they have made this process easy and handled me with respect and what I like to call warm and fuzzy customer service! 5 stars all around.

    Bought a couple pair of shoes in my usual size. They didn't fit. When I went to print the return labels, discovered the $ 6.95 "restocking fee" for each pair. Dug down deep in the fine print (not easy to find) for this disclosure. It is very deceptive as their banner blazes "free ship & free exchanges". I called to complain because they didn't even have a different size I could exchange for. Customer service tried to get me to purchase something else. After keeping me on hold a long time while they checked with a supervisor, was told they would just charge 1 restocking fee and sent shipping labels. Of course when I got my return statement I see they did not do this. More deception I think just to get customer off the phone. I will never use this company again/despise Shoebuy. Oh well, consider it a cheap lesson. I hope this review helps someone else avoid a rip off experience.

    I was a little apprehensive buying from shoebuy.com after reading all the negative reviews over here. However, I was still attracted to the huge discount I would get if I use the $30 off coupon code on my $89 pair of Keen. That's a whopping 33% discount and I couldn't find anything cheaper than that. Besides, most of the negative reviews were about the restocking fees which wouldn't affect me since I already know my correct size. Foot Locker has restocking fees too, I already learned my lesson from them. Anyway, I wanted to buy three pairs of Keens but since it was my first time buying from Shoebuy, I decided to buy one pair first and see if they were selling authentic shoes. I read somewhere in here that Shoebuy sometimes screws up orders and give the wrong color etc, hence my apprehension.

    I ordered my Keen on Aug 1 morning, received a confirmation almost immediately, received shipping details on Aug 2, and received the package on Aug 3. I am nothing but impressed with how fast they shipped (I have to point out that I live just 5 hours away from where the shoes were mailed out from). Also, the shoes were authentic. I already ordered my second pair and it's due to arrive tomorrow. I will order my third pair at a later time because I just learned that we can get an additional $10 voucher if we buy $100 worth of items. I am still waiting for that voucher. All in all, only buy from Shoebuy if you know exactly what model and size you need. Another advice, search online for 3rd party coupon codes. I found a 25% coupon code and thought it was the best deal, but after several pages of google search I found a shady website with a $30 off coupon and surprisingly it worked. Happy shopping!!

    Terrible customer service. HORRIBLE COMPANY! I ordered my daughter a backpack 10 days ago and they say it will process within 1-5 business days. At the 7th business day I called in and they said they would look into it and get back to me. It is now the 9th business day and they have never gotten back to me. I am really sick of calling in and getting the least knowledgeable people on the phone. They have no idea what they are talking about or how to handle your issues. Now they say they can't answer my questions and will have to find a supervisor to help. Here is the kicker. They don't offer refunds even if the order doesn't ship. Order cancellations can only be made within 30 minutes of your order being made. WHAT A SCAM! DON'T BUY FROM SHOEBUY!

    No. No. No. Don't be lured in by initial low prices. Do not buy from this company. I bought a pair of running shoes, and they didn't fit right. Called the company and heard about the $6.95 restocking fee for a return, which I later found in the small print. If I exchanged them for another item, there would be no restocking fee. So I ordered a pair of running shoes for my husband. I later got an email from Shoebuy, saying they had received my return and were crediting my account, less the restocking fee. "We were unable to process the exchange you requested for Shoebuy order #** because you have requested an item that is out of stock." Out of stock? The replacement shoe was still showing as for sale on the website. I talked with a customer service rep and then with a supervisor. They would not budge. So I simply called the credit card company, they looked into it and upheld my complaint. Just don't ever buy from them.

    I have read several negative reviews of this company; I want to add a STELLAR review. I have never had an issue; right shoes, right sizes all the time. Yes, they now have a restocking fee, I am sure because people took advantage - buy a shoe for an event, wear them, and return them as 'not fitting', 'not quite right' - but hey, lots of places have a restocking fee.

    The shoes are top brand and very affordable... I have messed up with some of the sizes - because I didn't read first - not their fault. I own over 25 pairs of shoes (boots, athletic, dress, casual) from Shoebuy and it is doubtful that I will buy another pair elsewhere!!

    It's the first time I've shopped on Shoebuy and it is literally a terrible experience. One of my shoes were shipped out and then shipped back to their warehouse (excuse me???). I called them about it and they asked me if I wanted to replace an order. I told them that I would order again if they could ship it faster because I need it for my mother's birthday. The agent "guaranteed" me that they would use UPS 3-day shipping.

    When I called after receiving the shipping confirmation (just a number. No tracking information at that point), they said that the order was shipped out before the 3 day shipping could be approved (really.). I confronted them about the "guarantee" they made, and 10 minutes later, they said "sorry, my bad. It was indeed shipped out using 3-day select." 2 hours later, I found out from the UPS tracking that it was still regular ground. I called again, and this time, they changed the story to "my supervisor sent out an email to UPS to upgrade the shipping. Once UPS got the email, your package would be upgraded." I didn't expect any change to happen at this point. They were complete liars! I have never had an experience like this before.

    After the moment I prematurely placed my order I retracted it at the Norton Shipping address and also sent an email to Shoebuy headed Stop my order. And seeking verification of the sliding scale for their shoe sizing. At the time I also wanted to place a second order for some runners and wanted them on the same order in the hope of saving on postage. My sizing is 8-8.5 so and ordered a 9. The shoes arrived in a matter of days. They are too small and they have heel slippage. Which could be a trend of the shoe because there are 2 types of extra inserts provided. They instruct to insert if shoe is too big or has heel slippage. The price of the shoes and postage once converted, at their and/or Pay Pals determined currency rate, have amounted to $217 ASD. They were advertised at $119 USD.

    If I could have bought them nationally I would have. I spent days researching these shoes because my feet pronate and I am planning on doing plenty of walking as I'm going overseas. Now I am facing spending another approx $33.00 AUD to return them, approx $9.00 AUD handling fees and will have the original postage 0f $54 deducted from the refund. OF course I also runs the risk that they could claim they were not received within the limited exchange/return time frame. This has been a very costly exercise resulting in needing to outlay $258 to get a refund of $158.15. And the time writing emails to their service and customer email addresses.

    I have been thinking of trying to borrow someone's phone that has international roaming so I could call them, but from what I have been reading they are difficult to contact by phone also. I wonder if Shoebuy do not employ enough human staff and instead rely on robots to perform workplace tasks. Has anyone any suggestions?

    I ordered a pair of shoes to Canada and was charged an extra $20. Now I thought this was for import duties but it turns out it was shipping which was my error. On top of that, UPS wanted extra $50 import duties to deliver the shoe so I refused. I called the company and asked them to cancel the order and have it returned

    Their response was, if I refused the delivery, they will not refund me and UPS will declare the shoes as abandon.

    They insisted that I accept the shoe, pay the $50 to UPS, then ship it back to them at an additional cost. Then going on to say I could ask the government back the money I paid on import duties once I shipped the shoe back which is probably a complicated process and not worth the time and not likely to happen. I said, "why not just call UPS and ask them to return the shoe, I will pay for the shipping. That way, the shoe never crosses the border and no import duties would ever have to be charged." They wouldn't listen and kept insisting I will lose my money if I don't accept the shoe. I will never buy from this company. No sense of good customer value.

The last pair (Merrell) had a bump around the arch that was not like the right shoe. I believe they either sell defective or seconds especially in Merrell products. Also, when I bought the first two pair of shoes, they had a banner across the page that said Free Shipping & Free Returns but it was a lie. I spent $21 on returning the crap they sell.

    I am completely dumbfounded by the fact that this website has so many bad reviews. From reading most of them, the main problem seems to be issues with sizing - and people ordering the wrong size. If the customer service is as bad as everyone says it was in terms of returns, sizing issues, etc. make sure to actually go to a retailer which carries the shoes you ordering if you are not 100% sure what your size is. Before I ordered my Uggs I went and tried them on at some random shoe store to make sure I had no issues. The next day I ordered them, and they came fast, and they were perfect! Fit like a glove. The best thing about this was that I got 30% off of the Uggs - meaning I saved $45, when I used one of their promo codes. This is now my go-to site for ordering shoes now, and it's great if you want good deals.

    I purchased a pair of shoes from Shoebuy on April 30 using PayPal. They arrived on May 9 and didn't look good on, so I was going to return them. As others here have noted, Shoebuy has a hidden "restocking fee" of $6.95 per item on returns (more about that below). Free return shipping is only for exchanges. Rather than pay the fee, I exchanged them for a different pair, using the company's online exchange process. In their online process, they won’t e-mail you a free-return shipping label unless you place a new order at the same time.

    The customer has to pay for the new pair and wait to get a refund on the return, which is of course reasonable. I paid for the new pair, again, with PayPal. At that time, they were running a 30% off “Friends and Family” promotion. The discount was applied automatically in my cart. One minute after receiving the order confirmation, I received a return-shipping label and then took the original pair to the UPS drop-off.

    The replacement arrived on May 19 (Shoebuy is notorious for slow shipping, unless you pay extra, but that's another issue). I loved the shoes but they were too tight across the top. Meanwhile, Shoebuy had extended its 30% off promotion until May 23. I thought about trying to stretch the shoes but with the discount still available, it made more sense to exchange them. I followed the link, just as I did on May 11, to their exchange page. The replacement I chose just happened to be the same price, and with the same discount, it would have been an even exchange. However, the 30% discount wasn’t applied in the cart. There was a field for a promo code, but I couldn’t find one anywhere on the site. They also had sent me a 30% discount offer by e-mail as an enticement, but there was no promo code there, either. I called customer service simply to get a promo code so I could complete the transaction.

    Well, the little snot who answered the phone immediately informed me that because I paid with PayPal, it wasn't possible to place a new order until after the pair I was returning was sent back and processed. I said that couldn't be true, because I had just done it with the previous return. She didn't even acknowledge what I was saying, much less try to understand, and just kept repeating the same words over and over, like I was some kind of idiot and maybe would get it on the sixth or seventh repeat.

    While we were talking, she e-mailed me a return shipping label and said that after I received confirmation that they had processed the return, I should call to place a new order and say that the pair I sent back was an exchange, not a return, and they would credit back the restocking fee. What kind of ridiculous screwed-up policy is this, and why would anyone be stupid enough to take the word of a sales rep on the phone when the company's written policy says something else?

    I asked to speak with a manager. She said it wouldn't do any good because the manager would tell me the same thing (she repeated that three or four times). I said I wanted to talk to that person anyway and insisted on being transferred. She finally relented and put me on hold maybe four or five minutes, after which she came back to tell me what the manager said. I about blew a gasket and told her I didn't want to hear it from her, that I wanted to speak to the manager. She started arguing so aggressively that I can't even tell you what she said other than that she was not going to transfer me. I hung up on her and called customer service. However, because the sales rep had sent a return label, customer service said they couldn’t do anything and that I’d have to wait to order a new pair until the item was returned.

    At that point, I gave up on exchanging the shoes and called PayPal to file a claim for a full refund, no "restocking fee." That turned into another nightmare. I just got an e-mail from them saying I should return the shoes to Shoebuy's address in Boston and then PayPal would give me a "full refund," but that I was responsible for any costs associated with the return! So they will give me a "full refund" after I pay the return shipping and restocking fees???

    I just tried contacting PayPal's customer service, and all I got was a series of automated email responses with general information and nothing to indicate that anyone there even read what I wrote (pretty much what I've written here). I've now spent more than three hours on the phone and at the computer typing emails, all to avoid paying a $6.95 restocking fee – which, as others noted, is hidden well enough that the typical online buyer isn't going to see it. It looks like many here just paid it and then wrote online reviews to warn others.

    Like others here, I, too, used to order from Shoebuy frequently, back when they had free two-way shipping and customer service that was overall pretty good. When I tried to return the first pair of shoes on May 11 and discovered the restocking fee, I clicked around the site to see where it was displayed. It took four or five clicks to find it. In the confirmation e-mail, the link to "Free Exchanges, No Worries" goes directly to the page to start the return or exchange process, which does not state that if you choose "return," you'll pay a fee. I didn’t notice the "return" link at the bottom of the site until I read a review here. Sure, it's on every page on their site, but way down at the bottom, under a bunch of clutter, and who's going to look for it when they see "free shipping" prominently displayed at the top of every page?

    It is patently obvious that company lawyers made sure the fine print protects them from regulatory action, but pulling a "gotcha" is incredibly disrespectful, if not downright hostile, toward customers. And actually, I'm not so sure their claim of full disclosure would hold up if enough people complained to the proper authorities. It doesn't matter how many "return" links they put on their site if they aren't immediately next to the big, bold "free shipping" banners.

    So maybe they aren't fraudulent, but they are just this side of it, and their advertising certainly is misleading and deceptive, which, while not as serious as "false advertising," is nonetheless regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. Incidentally, writing to the Better Business Bureau does nothing (although I will copy this review to them, just for the record). The company has responded to every complaint with, "We're sorry the customer didn't see our policy," and "We published a notice on the site last year when we changed our policy."

    People, don't feel guilty or embarrassed because you didn't read the fine print. One shouldn't have to read fine print to buy a pair of shoes. This is a blatant attempt to blame the customer for the company's deliberate deception and to discourage people from filing complaints. Don't buy it. Get angry! Complain! A letter from the FTC might persuade Shoebuy to be more forthright with shoe buyers.

    I wanted to order a particular shoe that wasn't made of leather, as I am an ethical vegan and do not wear leather. After looking at the website, I found one that listed the material as PU leather. At the time, I did not know this was "bicast leather," which is leather mixed with polyurethane. I called to ask a customer service rep what the material was and was told that he couldn't tell from their website, but that he would check Amazon's website to see if there was more information there (really?) He didn't know and assured me that I could return the shoe without a $6.95 restocking fee if it did in fact contain leather because their site had inadequate information. When the shoe arrived, I noticed the universal symbol for leather on the inside of the shoe.

    I reached out to obtain information about the return, got a return label, and after no fewer than EIGHT back and forth emails with as many customer service reps, was assured that if the shoe was leather, they would refund the restocking fee, so I returned the shoe. When it was received, they denied that it's leather. After several more back and forth emails, I asked for the phone number of a supervisor. I didn't get that, but a general number and was told to ask for a supervisor. "Supervisor Terry" got on the phone after I was on hold for 20 minutes. I will not detail the highly aggravating conversation, but suffice to say that she was completely disempowered to refund my $6.95 and reaffirmed that the shipping department determined that the shoe wasn't leather.

    Thankfully, I took a photo of the box and the label inside the shoe for proof. I offered to send it to her. She said she wasn't authorized to submit the $6.95 refund (seriously?!) and that a manager would have to review it and get back with me at some point. Honestly, this is some of the WORST customer "service" I've ever experienced! I wish I'd seen that their overall review is 1 out of 10, and I never would've purchased from them.

    I just wanted you to know that I did have a problem with my purchase from Shoebuy. I returned the shoes after receiving them because they were too tight. I only tried them on, walked across my living room, and put them back into the box. I sent them back. A week or so later they shipped them back to me and told me they were dirty and creased and they could not accept them. I called, they told me to take pictures and they would review the case. I sent them the pictures on April 19. They told me it would take 3-5 business days to get back with me.

    Finally, after sending them two more emails asking for a review, today, May 15, they got back with me and told me they still cannot take the shoes because of dirt and creases. Seriously! I am outraged. They didn't even look at my pictures. I am 50 years old. I am not a child. Nor am I a liar. This site is a scam. I have never been treated so poorly by a shoe store in all my life.

    I made an online purchase with Shoebuy on Apr 13th. After 2 weeks or so I found it strange that I had not received the package. When I checked my acct and the tracking, I realized it was being shipped to the wrong destination. I called the customer service and was informed that it will be investigated. On May 10th, I was checking my emails and in my SPAM, I saw an email notifying me that "they was sorry. I was unhappy with my purchase" and they have received the item that "I returned" (an item I never received) and they will refund my money minus the restocking fee of $6.95.

    Whoa! How can I be charged a restocking fee on an item I never received? After being placed on hold for almost an hour listening to that awful music - I was informed that I would receive my full amount of the purchase. I was very upset because I was not even offered to have the item resent to me. Awful customer service/awful policy - This is one person that will not be ordering from Shoebuy again!!!

    I ordered a pair of shoes from Shoebuy via Amazon. Shoebuy sent the wrong shoe color and stated that was what I had ordered. However, I screenshot my order the moment I paid for it. They would not believe me or have me email said screenshot to them. I am only able to return after paying a stocking fee. Very unfair and misleading. The customer service rep, Monique, said after listening to my request for a full refund, "Well, that's not going to happen". DO NOT EVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY.

    Do not buy from this company. They make you think that you can return shoes at no cost but they have a restocking fee which of course is in the fine print. I even bought two pairs of the same shoes thinking that I would return one. Neither fit and now to pay two restocking fees! Buyer beware!!! Stick with Zappos for your shoes!!!

    As with just about every review, here on Consumer Affairs and elsewhere, I absolutely agree that Shoebuy is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Had I read the reviews, I would never have bought anything from them. The worst customer service! Send them an email? They ignore it. Call them? They put you on hold and no one ever comes to the phone. Stay away from Shoebuy!

    After purchasing shoe through AMAZON which ended up being sold by SHOEBUY.com I returned them. They sent them back and just said "excessive wear". These were Skechers Walk-on shoes. Poor design by Skechers. The round circles came loose and some fell out. You can see all the original groves on the bottom. So now I am out shipping back to them. They said go talk to Skechers. Additionally, could not understand the service rep when I called them after they returned the shoes. Good news is I took the issue up with AMAZON, they gave me a refund for the shoes. Thank you AMAZON. Shame on SHOEBUY.COM.

    Called in for an exchange of an item. The Rep I spoke to confirmed the availability of the goods and said I was lucky that the correct size is available for exchange. An email was triggered when they received the goods I wanted to exchange - Email explained that they are processing the exchange. After a week of waiting, I called the customer service to know that the product was not available and all they can do is just refund the amount. I did not get any communication from their side until I called them. The site says FREE EXCHANGES. When you try to do the exchange yourself they will sneak in some amount in the tax part to cover the expenses. I called in for incorrect taxes and Rep confirmed that they do that purposely.

    Their 110% price match is horrible. I sent a screenshot to price match a pair of shoes at another site. It clearly shows that the shoes are available in the same size and color desired from Shoes.com. They won't match and just keep sending me a generic email back of the rules of the 100% price match guarantee. I don't know how else to show them it is available on another site other than sending a screenshot of the actual pair of shoes in my cart. It is time and date stamped to prove it's currently available. Why make it so difficult? They lost a customer for life.

    Change in policy is hidden in the fine print. The words FREE RETURN continue to be displayed prominently across the top of the site. Hidden in the fine print though, you will now find a restocking fee. I must try on shoes to know if they run large or small. If I'm going to pay a fee each time I order, I'll shop elsewhere. You should too! SHAME ON YOU Shoebuy!!!

    Worse place ever! I placed an order on Converse on April 5, 2016. UPS made the delivery on April 7 1:48 PM at front door. I work 9:00 am to 5:00 PM. At the time I got home, no shoes or proof of the delivery. I claimed to PayPal, horrible support, they sent me to claim UPS, when I didn't deal with them, that is not my problem. I opened a case, that they closed later against me cause they track shows been delivered! This is like a joke, why I have to deal with UPS when I didn't contracted them? There is no proof of using, no money and no shoes for me, but Paypal closed the case as nothing!!! Showbuy.com wash they hands as payPal well. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY, IT IS THE WORSE PLACE EVER AND SCAM PEOPLE AS NOTHING!

    As a past customer of ShoeBuy.com, I ordered two pair of shoes without reading the "fine print". They had always had a free shipping and return policy. It has been a pleasant shopping experience in the past, but NO MORE! I have hard to fit feet, so the luxury of online buying at no risk is appealing. Plus, I am not embarrassed in the store when they can't fit me for shoes. Now ShoeBuy has a new policy... $6.95 restocking fee per shoe! Outrageous! And a phone call to "customer service" was equally infuriating. Be forewarned, they will not waive the restocking fee. $14.00 out the window! Lousy service. I will never do business with ShoeBuy again and hope you don't either. Shop at Zappos at no risk!!! To ShoeBuy: was it worth $14.00 to you to get this bad PR. Ex-customer.

    DO NOT BUY FROM SHOEBUY.COM! I purchased a pair of shoes that were too big. I tried them on and immediately put them back in the box. I sent them back and got them returned to me a couple weeks later. Shoebuy said they were returned because they were worn. I said I just tried them on and put them back in the box. After a review they said they would do nothing. If you buy from them you take a chance if the shoes don't fit. Buyer beware.

    I ordered a pair of Crocs Patricia II Espresso/Mushroom women's size 7 from Shoebuy.com on April 20, 2016. I made the color selection and size based on what Shoebuy.com showed they had in their inventory. I made the purchase through my PayPal account which they took out of my account immediately. They state that it takes 1-5 business days to ship the shoes. On the 5th day (April 26, 2016) when the shoes were to be shipped I get a cancellation of the order from Shoebuy.com and a refund of the purchase amount. The explanation was that they did not have the shoes in stock. When I called their customer service I found that they do not even have any inventory of shoes but instead have the order drop shipped from the manufacturer. They even admitted they don't even know what the manufacturer has in its inventory.

    They dupe the customer into buying shoes, which they claim they have in their inventory, keep your money for almost a week, then cancel the order on the day it's due to ship. They should be able to determine if they can fulfill the order at the time of the order, not a week later. This company is nothing but a scam to collect money from customers, hold it for a week to collect interest, and then refund the initial payment to the customer. Meanwhile, the customer loses interest they could have made on that purchase price by keeping it in their own account, not to mention the inconvenience and waste of time the customer spends waiting on shoes that are never going to be delivered.

    Correction of a previous review - there is no return charge if you exchange for something else, only if you want a refund. They do pay for return postage though. My problem is they don't stock. Everything is shipped from the manufacturer so you wait about a week for your purchase. Other than that, OK if you're willing to wait that long.
