Made two separate orders 4 days apart. First time ever ordering from Finish Line. First order of Nike running pants and Sweatshirt was supposed to be delivered. Second order was for instore pickup for a Nike hat. Received order confirmation immediately. The following day my wife went to pick it up at 12 oaks mall in Novi. Guy working behind the counter (beard, and orange shorts) was not only rude but stated there was no order on file.
I called customer service and they stated that order was canceled. I never received any confirmation order stating it was cancelled. Well figured while I was on the phone I would inquire about my 1st order since its been 4 days and still haven't received an order confirmation. Well lo and behold that order was being in the process of being cancelled. Amazing this company is still in business. Do yourself a favor and order from Amazon or another reputable online company. Never again and I'll make sure everyone around me knows what a lousy company this place is.

I purchased a PA Performance alternator from American Muscle.com about a year ago. It failed, Dealer confirmed. American Muscle told me the warranty claim must go thru PA Performance. Long story short, I have been going back and forth with them over the phone for over a week and still haven't received a RMA or return label. I follow up daily with no response. To make matters worse, this will probably be a 3-4 week process as I am on the west coast, they are on the east. Horrible customer service to say the least. If I would have known the problems and lack of service I would receive I would never have made a purchase of their product.

I ordered pair of sneakers on 1/17/2016. Order went thru, Finish Line took my money. Called their customer service line on Wednesday to get a tracking number for my package, I was told that I would receive my tracking info on Friday (1/22) between the hours of 8 am and 11 am. Didn't receive anything. Friday at 4 pm I call to find out my tracking number. I was told that they didn't have any info on my package but that it would get delivered to my house by 1/25-1/27. On 1/26 at 2 pm I get an email that says "Well this is awkward, we had to cancel your order." Are you kidding me? "Awkward"? That's how a franchise starts their emails apologizing? Awkward?
Anyhow, I call customer service and some guy apologized 328373738 times but still did not have an answer as to why it took 8 days for them to send me an email saying that they canceled my order. Got transferred to a supervisor that was less helpful than the regular employee. Her answer to me was that the warehouse did not have the sneaker in stock, so basically they take your money, then they search to see if they have the sneaker in stock and if they find it then they will ship, if not then you're basically out of luck. Then when they tell you that they are going to refund you, you're gonna have to wait 7 more business days to get your money. So in total I'm waiting 15days (half a month) because their inventory isn't up to date. Basically save your money and time and shop at footlocker or anywhere else. Save yourself the headache.

I placed an order on 1/7/16, for a pair of Nike Roshe size 6. I was so prepared to get my shoes within the 6 days of shipping I was able to use my Winners Circle for the order. However when the package arrived on 1/13/16 box contained Adidas size 8 1/5. I looked for my label and my usual receipt that shows my purchase along with the price. All the box contained was a UPS label that stated Nike Roshe size 6. I called very upset to explain my problem. The rep stated to me that I received my order. I was so frustrated I was like "If I could send you a pic I would."
So to make matters more complicated she said "I can send you a label to send the shoes back." I was like "I want what I ordered first can you do that?" She said to me "Well I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I can process a refund." Well my thing is how can you process a refund if I never got the product and the return center would get a product totally different? I guess I'll just have to find someone that can wear a size 8 1/2. I refuse to be without my money any longer and this is not my first time ordering with Finish Line. I'm very disappointed.

I purchased a pair of Nike's Airmax Supreme 3 online as a gift for my boyfriend and it was suppose to be picked up at my local mall. Of course I was excited so I kept checking the status of my order online. The next day I checked again and of course it showed cancelled. Was I ever going to get a notification for this?! Immediately called customer service, they told me to wait 5-7 business days for a refund. I was informed that the transaction still processed even though the website is not up to date... really? I would like to know if anyone has received their refund???

I purchased a pair of Air Max 2016 for my fiancé $190 for XMAS. He also purchased 2 pairs for me for $190 each. $570 sale. No one asked if we needed help at the store. They had the nerve to tell me, "Thanks for the commission." No call back since Dec 23.

I ordered a pair of Roshe run for my son for xmas on Dec 22. They sent one shoe. Customer care said sending it again, no shoes. The 2nd attempt I was told 5 days, 5 days went by. 3rd attempt I was told they're waiting for me to send the one back. They told me Dec 26 that they're sending me a return sticker but never came. 4 attempt they tell me "oh we need the one shoe before we process the order." Ugh OMG. Why didn't you say that in the first place instead of telling me that they will be here in 5 days. I will never order from Finish Line again. I think they should send me a pair on the house!

So I thought it would be a good idea to buy my fiance the shoe he's been wanting for our anniversary on December 14th. On Friday December 11th I went to my local finish line store to purchase the shoes. The shoes weren't in his size, so I ordered and PAID for them at the store. On Tuesday December 15th I received an email saying "Oops! Our bad. Your order has been canceled." For whatever reason I was able to order and pay for a shoe that was NOT in inventory. The email said that I would be refunded my money back within 5-7 business days. On the 7th business day I checked my account and NO MONEY. Of course I was pissed, so I called customer service and was on hold for almost an HOUR.
When I finally did speak with someone the girl (Ray) was really rude and told me that the money was already refunded and that I should call my bank. I was furious! I tried to explain to the girl that I was looking at my bank statement and the money wasn't there. Next thing you know she hung up. Five minutes later she called back and apologized saying that I was right and that if I wanted my money, I needed to go to the store I ordered my shoes from to get it. This made absolutely no sense! I felt so helpless and drained at this point that I just took her word and hung up. The next day, I called the store and explained to the manager what happened and the conversation I had with customer service. The manager had no clue what the girl was talking about and informed me that there was nothing he could do. My blood was boiling at this point!
I called customer service BACK and waited on hold for almost another HOUR. When I finally spoke with a rep and explained what happened, she put me on hold for almost 20 minutes! (Deep Breath) She finally got back on the line and explained to me that the request to refund me my money was sent, but never processed and that she was going to take care of it immediately. She told me to expect the money to be in my account within 5-7 business days. On the 5th business day I got a little worried because the money wasn't there, BUT I was patient. On the 7th business day I checked my account... and you guessed it! The money wasn't there!!!
After shedding a few tears, I called customer service and waited... and waited. Finally spoke with someone, explained my horrible experience AGAIN and she was able to call the store I originally ordered my shoes from to have them give me a cash refund. I felt a little relieved at this point. The next day, I went to the store to pick up my money just to get more BAD news! The sales assistant never received the email from customer service to confirm the cashout! I wanted to trash the whole store at this point! I was already in a rush and had no time to wait on long holds and broken promises, so I had to leave. Today it is Jan 7th and I STILL HAVE NO MONEY AND NO SHOES!

Where do I begin? I know. NEVER EVER order from Finish Line. I may have just saved you the biggest headache of your life. I ordered a pair of basketball sneakers for my son, the whole team got the same sneakers, we were the only ones to use Finish Line, they were ordered Dec 12. I had to pay the outrageous express shipping fee of $32.99, so he could have them for his first game on the 17th. Needless to say, we never received them. I waited through the weekend then I called "customer service." What a joke! Just trying to get an operator on the phone consisted of almost an hour, here's where the real fun began. On my first call, I was told that they shipped them, but they lost them somewhere?! What? Ok, they reimbursed me my shipping fees and ordered another pair... That's when she said I would receive my tracking info within 24-48 hours... Nothing!
Every time I called "customer service" I was on hold so long, I actually had to hang up over a dozen times. Another week has gone by and still no sneakers, no email, no phone calls. Finally on Dec 24th!!! I called and was NOT hanging up whatsoever, I finally got through to a man, he apologized profusely, told us that he could see our sneakers were in VA (we are in NH) but he couldn't reach them. I told him I wanted the order cancelled ASAP. He told me he cancelled the order and we would see our money within 5-7 business days... On Jan 4th, still nothing. I had to make that dreaded phone call again!! OMG, Michelle was her name. I asked for a supervisor right away. She said she couldn't do that, well she couldn't do anything! I spent over 3 hours going over everything and I was due $109.98 back.
After she finally understood everything, we received an email saying she is reimbursing us $76.99! She couldn't do simple math!! This was a joke. We asked numerous times for a supervisor, or someone that could do math. She kept reading off of her card, "I'm sorry ma'am. I'm sorry ma'am," all patience were gone. We then got transferred to 4 other people! She made such a mess out of her math, they didn't know how to fix it. We made it very very clear that we will never do business with them again. I also sent an email to corporate, I received NO reply. I hope they lose as much business as it takes to put them out of business! There was no compensation done at all. A very poor excuse for a business.

Order # **. I ordered this product on 12/24/2015, it is scheduled for 1/5/2016. That's way too long when I payed 22 extra bucks for rush delivery. This is terrible service. That's TWELVE DAYS omfg. I can't be a part of this. I feel like my money I paid for rush delivery was stolen and never used. This site is just for looking not actually ordering any of these over priced shoes and clothes. I will make sure I do my due diligence and copy and paste this for every review site.

Went online to order a pair of shoes. I always order from Finish Line. When I clicked submit order it said "Your order couldn't be processed. Try again" so I did. The 5th time it said "Unauthorized. Call bank." Come to find out I had 5 charges of $207.99 on my card and no order had gone through. Calling customer service is a joke. No one understands English and all they say is "Your order didn't process." Oh but you have 1,000 dollars of my money. And no shoes coming to me. I'm never ordering from them again. Worst customer service and experience buying anything in my life.

I ordered a sweatshirt that was on sale via their website and chose store pick up as a means of delivery to avoid shipping charges. I used a gift card as means of payment. A day later I was checking the status of the order since I had not received an email stating that my item was ready for pickup. I then noticed that the order had been cancelled. I called the customer service number and sent a message online (with no response). When I called the customer service number they stated that they could not ship me the item using my gift card money and that they could not credit me my gift card balance until 7-10 business days.
I told them to just use my gift card balance and ship the item instead, they replied saying they could not do that. I had to wait 7-10 business days to have a new gift card mailed to me. I explained that the item I am wishing to purchase would no longer be available in that amount of time. After spending 2 hours and 28 minutes on the phone trying to speak to a manager and get this issue resolved I was hung up on. I have sent a message to the corporate office, because I feel that this is horrible customer service and not only want a refund now, but I would like some kind of compensation for my time spent on the phone with no resolution to the issue. It is frustrating that not only was I having to speak to a someone in another country they seemed clueless as to how to help me with this matter. I will never shop Finish Line again!

I am a basketball coach for 11-13 year old boys and thought how nice it would be to have hoodies for their season. I ordered 12 online and received confirmation. A week later I received numerous emails saying the order was filled then it wasn't filled. Before I could make a decision they ship 7 of the 12 without telling me the order is only partially what I ordered. When I call to ask why they being the representative and his so called supervisor tell me there is nothing they can do and it's not the company's fault... Guess it's mine. More proof how large companies care little if any about the consumer.

I bought some sneakers 168.00. A month later they were ripping so I called and they said they would replace them and sent me a call tag. So I shipped the sneakers to them, called them two weeks later and they tell me there is no stock so I tell him, "Was anyone going to tell me?" so I asked for a credit back on my card and he said, "sure will do it. You will see it 3 to 5 business days.". Nothing so I call again today 12/31/15. No record of me calling. Bull. So now they do it again and I have to wait 3 to 5 business days again, got a confirmation number **. Let's see if this is going to work. I will never buy sneakers from them again.

I ordered a pair of shoes for a family member who was visiting for Christmas, size 7 women's. When the order came a few days before Christmas, it was size 10 men's. I immediately called customer service and after an hour on hold reached someone in another country whom I could barely understand. I told him I wanted the correct shoes sent by expedited shipping and to at least receive them by the 26th. I received the shipping return label but it is now the 29th and I have received no verification of the new order and of course no shoes. My family member is long gone and I had no gift for her on Christmas Day. Customer service is a joke. I have also emailed them and received nothing back. This will be my first and last order with Finish Line.

I ordered sweatshirts for Christmas presents. I ordered 4, and they only sent three. While they did arrive on time, I have tried to resolve the error, first by going online, but I got a message that said their website wasn't down, "just doing a little crowd control". I then called the number on the receipt. The guy that picked up at a local store thought I was calling about only receiving one shoe. When I explained him my situation, he gave me the number to customer.
I called customer service, and after taking about 2 minutes to navigate the phone tree, the automated message stated they were having excess call volume, and suggested I go online. Let's think about this - they have so many complaints about their crappy service, they cannot field all of them on the phone or online. I have a sense I will never see the other sweatshirt I paid for. TO FINISH LINE BOARD - You should really pay attention. I, like many, will not shop Finish Line not just due to your screw ups (everybody makes mistakes), but due to your inability to deal with the mistakes. For me, I'm afraid you have reached the Finish Line.

I placed an order in store #424 on 11/16/15 salesperson Jaime (0041415) transaction #**. I live 45 minutes from the nearest Finish Line Store. I placed an order for 2 shoes but only one of the two was available to order. The manager placed my order for a pair of LunarGlide 6 Flash, I was asked for my email and phone number for contact reasons and a confirmation number from what I was told. I was given a receipt for my proof of purchase with my order number. The manager said it would take only 5-7 business days to ship. Great!
"Thank you for reaching out to us! We are committed to providing you the best service and just wanted to let you know that we received your email. We will be responding as soon as possible. In the meantime, here is a link to our FAQ's page for your convenience." Another week passes. Now it's getting to mid-December and no shoes or a follow up email from customerservice@finishline.com. Now I'm really getting irritated. I tried every option to reach out to Finish Line, phone, email, and chat (which is NEVER available). So my last resort to get my money back is call store #424 and see if they can refund me my order since I did pay at the store.
I called and the same guy that sold me the shoes picked up. I told him the situation, before I drive 45 minutes to store #424 I need to know if I will be taken care of. He said, "Sure man, if you have the original receipt bring it in and we can give you a refund. Not a problem." So I did this, I drove 45 minutes and only to be greeted by a different manager (didn't have a name tag on). And right away, bad attitude, he said he can't refund me my money. I had my original receipt from 11/16/15. Also, as back-up reference I showed my UPS profile showing that Finish Line process the shoes but voided the item because the shoes was no longer available. Which is why my shoes never came in the first place. The manager said turned to another manager Britney who happen to be there when I made my purchase on 11/16/15 with manger Jaime. She also said, "No," they can't refund me.
The manager called customer service through their store direct line, which I know is not the 1.888.777.3949 number because he got directly in touch with an agent within minutes. He then tells me I will be refunded within 3-5 business days depending on my bank. He then laughs at me and said why didn't I just call customer care support to begin with and tossed my receipt with my order number on it with the other receipts scattered on the cash-wrap counter and walked away. Terrible customer service, unprofessional, no name tag for a "manager" at this store location. I later got home and check my email and received a email I wasn't expecting. I was contacted by returns@finishline.com with a email stating:
"Hey, your order return is in progress. If you opted for 'Email Shipping Label' option, please print attachment and paste the shipping label on the box before shipping. If you opted for a label via US Mail, you should receive the Shipping Label within 3-5 business days. If this is a replacement, we'll email you when your replacement order has been shipped. We'll send you another email upon receiving your return. Cool? Cool. NOTE: This is an automated email. Please do not reply to this mail as it will just disappear into space. If you have questions, please contact Customer Care at 1-888-777-3949."
NO, not cool. See what's happening here? They are looping me. Why would I need a return label for a item I never received. I have no item/s, no shoes. I just want my money back! This is ridiculous. The worst experience ordering from this company. Their return policy is 45 days. It's passed 45 days because I spend 4+ weeks waiting on my shoes to finally receive a VOIDED notice from UPS that the sender (Finish Line) never had the shoes.
Breaking it down: I paid with my debit card. Was promised 3-7 business days. The tops is 10 days. Poor customer care service. No Christmas present because shoes never came even though I placed the order back in 11/16/15. Store can't do anything about my order but takes my money anyway. Finish Line customer service can't be reached. I will wait 5 days tops to see if I get my refund of 52.76 back. If not, I will be contacting corporate.

On 12/20/2015, we ordered my 9-year old daughter's present from Santa from Finish Line. She wrote him a letter to ask for basketball sneakers and they were the ONLY thing that she wanted. We paid $33.00 in shipping to get the shoes delivered by 12/24. On 12/24, I called to check and see where the shoes were. They said that they were NOT going to be arriving by 12/24. WHAT?!?!?! Why did we pay $33.00 in shipping? No email or anything to say that the item was not going to arrive on the date that they said that it would. Otherwise, I would have tried to find similar shoes at the mall.
The customer service man (who didn't speak very good English... and that was frustrating in and of itself), said he would give me 1/2 of the shipping back. I was not happy and told him that he needed to give me the entire shipping back but really this was NOT about the money. My daughter is not getting a gift at all from Santa. The customer service man guaranteed that it would be arriving by 12/25 (on Christmas Day). We wrote my daughter a letter from Santa to say that the shoes would be a little late. Currently it is 12/26 and it is STILL not here. My daughter is heart-broken. She is the sweetest and most understanding girl in the world. She said, "It's okay, I understand. I think Santa just forgot about me."
Ultimately, the company did offer me the entire shipping back (not yet reimbursed, but they said at least 3-5 days) and a follow-up email with a $20.00 gift card. And, although I appreciate this, I still think that an email should have been sent to let me know that this order would not be delivered by the date promised. I also think that if they knew that the item was NOT going to be delivered one day late (by Christmas Day), then they should have just TOLD me that instead of lying about it.

I am a FIRST & LAST time shopper with Finish Line online. I am not happy at all about my experience with Finish Line. Why would they let me order/purchase an item and anticipate the product... and then find out upon delivery that it was canceled??? There was no email sent out stating it was canceled nor out of stock. This Christmas gift was icing on the cake and now we have to suffer because of no communication from Finish Line. I could have went into the store locally to make up for their mistake! I ordered two items and only one shows up. It's not fair and I am highly unhappy with their service.
The representative only said "sorry". Not let us find something similar or nothing, just sorry. I understand when things go out of stock, but why would you let me purchase it and expect it to come and nothing comes? PLUS I SENT AN EMAIL THREE DAYS AGO AND STILL NO RESPONSE. I will be writing everyone I can find about this because it's not right at all.

So I order a pair of sneakers. They sent them. They were the wrong color, style and size and in the wrong shoe box. Called customer service, took forever to talk to someone. They sent me another pair of shoes, right ones and they were dirty like they are used. I'm so sick of them and they want me to send back the ones they sent me wrong. I don't think so. The amount of crap I went through and the shoes are dirty and smell musty. Finish line sucks. Never again.

I ordered a pair of Nikes exactly one week ago. At this time, they were GUARANTEEING delivery by Christmas Eve. I got an email confirming my order, and it said I would receive another email once the product shipped. Fast forward to today... no email. I checked the status of my order online, and it said it was "processing" and had not been shipped yet.
At this point, I decide to call customer service. I wait on hold (with THE WORST hold music ever by the way) for over half an hour before someone picks up. The woman I connect with tells me she will call a local store to check on the inventory of the shoe. Not sure why this wasn't done sooner, but okay - I go along with it. I get put on hold again for another 15-20 minutes, and when she gets back to me SHE HANGS UP ON ME.
I'M FURIOUS. I decide to call around to local stores and not one store I called had the specific shoe in stock and mentioned they hadn't had the shoe in stock for a while. After all this, I get a call back from the woman I spoke to earlier apologizing for the "broken connection" and saying they are not able to ship the shoe to me by Christmas Eve and they cannot estimate a shipping date. WTF, right? I tell her "I want to cancel my order", and that I demand a refund immediately and she tells me that she can put a request in for a refund but she CANNOT GUARANTEE that I will receive a refund because the order has already gone through and is "processing" and will ship to me "at some point". What the actual ** is that supposed to mean?
If I don't see a refund in the next three business days, I'm reporting Finish Line to the Better Business Bureau along with many other people who have already done so due to their poor customer service. Too many messages and phone calls are going unanswered, and it is absolutely inexcusable. I will never do business with this company ever again. Sidenote: The customer service woman also told me that they never guaranteed me shipping by Christmas Eve, which is HILARIOUS because it is advertised all over their website.

I had the shoes picked out, size chosen, and added to cart. When I tried to link to my account and sign in, it said the shoes are no longer available in this size. I waited a couple of days and tried again as this was a Christmas wish gift. Same result, not available in size 10. Well now it's 3 days before Christmas and suddenly they have plenty of size 10 but won't be delivered until the 29th unless I pay $35.00 shipping. Seems like a scam or they are very unorganized. Tried to call customer care a couple times too. You can't get through to anyone, high call volume is the recording. So if you have an issue or need to talk to someone forget it! Will not be ordering or buying from in future!

I have had 2 very bad experiences with Finish Line. Last month I ordered a Missouri sweat outfit, I received a Michigan sweat shirt. When I called, I spoke to Glenda. She told me to ship it back and she would send the new one. I asked for a shipping label or box and I would be happy to. Longer story short, I asked to speak with a manager. She put me on hold for over 20 minutes so. I called from my husband's phone and the same Glenda answered so obviously she was not locating a manger. I asked again and she said no, I had to tell her why. I did so she hung up on me from the other line. Now I asked for corporate's number. At first she said no then ended up giving me an employee complaint line for employees to call. I left a message anyway. Never heard anything back.
I went to the store location and ended up getting the right one. So this month I ordered my son shoes for Christmas. It was suppose to be delivered 12/10. I still have not received it. Now they have to investigate while telling me I won't have them by Christmas (there is overnight shipping) so you asked again to speak with the manager and waited another 26 minutes and was sent to a voicemail. Left a voicemail. Called back because now I want nothing to do with Finish Line and I get Glenda from the previous month. I asked her if they even have managers/supervisors and she says yes so I asked to speak to one. She said she had to locate them.
Again there is not one to be found. I finally asked for a refund and informed her I will not do business with them again. I am in such disbelief at how customers are treated and how there are just no managers ever available. I would not recommend Finish Line. Which really is an inconvenience since I have done business with them the last 10 years.

I placed an order online with Finish Line. 8 days later I got on the chat indicating it still read "'processing" and I needed further help. What happens? 30 MINUTES on the damn chat and all they say is "I found it, it says it processing". I indicate I was looking for further insight and they reply, verbatim - "low inventory". 2 hours later I receive an email saying my order cancelled due to low inventory. I mean, really?!? They couldn't have said that from the beginning? Why did it take so long? I'm annoyed on every level. This was first experience with them and it will CERTAINLY be my last. NEVER SHOP HERE!

I had ordered 2 Under Armour sweaters for my son for Christmas at the end of Nov. I received both sweaters at the beginning of Dec. First one was in perfect condition, second one came a few days later with a hike in the front and something white and crusty on the sleeve. I took it to Finish Line in the mall to exchange it but they did not have his size. I decide to reorder it. We go over the entire order and my address which he had wrong and so I corrected it for him and it looked like he was fixing it.
It is now Dec. 16th and my order is still saying being processed and fulfilled. It has been saying this for over a week now. I have been emailing and emailing the company about my order with my new order number which I swear I'm talking to a robot because they keep bringing me up the old order number. I did not get a email with a tracking number or estimated time of arrival or anything. I did however get an email stating for me to be patient and at the bottom they had my address without my apt # which I had told the guy he had forgotten. Looks like he never fixed it. Finally got a hold of customer care, told her about it. She sent in a request but couldn't guarantee me it would be fixed. The worse service I have ever had shopping online!!!

I did my holiday shopping online this year and Finish Line seemed to have good pricing. Well was I in for a surprise. You actually do not get any of the items you purchase! They let you go through the checkout process, put a hold on your credit card then 5 days later send an email that your item has been cancelled. I check the website and the item is still there so why was it cancelled?
After waiting on hold for over an hour the person on the phone said two of the four items were out of stock and that the other item was in stock. I asked "Why do you put things on your website that you don't have?" They said "It must have just sold out." Isn't that what inventory is for? So they replaces my order for the one item they said they had then 5 days later the same thing and email that it was cancelled! What a joke! So much for getting my Christmas shopping done early. Obviously Finish Line should not be selling items online as they have no idea how to ship or how to do inventory. Will never order from again!

I can't believe that they let people order their stuff even though it's already out of stock. I know that the transaction was still in pending, but good lord why would you guys make customer feel like they already ordered that item and it will be shipped within 2 days? Then the 3rd day that I called them and waited for almost 30 minutes, they told me that the item is no longer available. Like really? Why even let me finish my order and tell me that it will be shipped out soon? I hope this company close down asap, cause a lot of people are having issues with their stupid actions and customer service.

I've received my confirmation email stating I should receive my orders between 12/14/15-12/17/15. Now when speaking with two different customer service reps today, I was told there is no guarantee I will receive my orders before 12/25/15 because once my orders shop out, it will take 8-12 days to receive them.

I ordered a pair of Nike KD 7 shoes on 11/3/2015 along with 2 sets of socks. I received the 1st set of socks within the shipping dates I was provided. I kept an eye on the shipping status via your website on my shoes and other pair of socks. The shoes moved to shipped status so I kept waiting. After waiting over 2 1/2 weeks for the shoes to arrive I went to the UPS website to track my order to find it had never actually shipped from your company. I called customer service last week and informed them of my issue. The lady on the phone (whom I could hardly understand) told me that in fact the order had been "misplaced, the shoes were still in fact available, and she would reprocess the order as well as request expedited shipping, although they could not guarantee it would be provided.
I received a shipping confirmation yesterday on 12/8 to inform me my item had shipped (I guess expedited shipping was not allowed). The item that was reprocessed and shipped to me was a $10 set of Nike Socks, not the $100 Nike shoes I ordered at this point over a month ago. I called customer service again and waited on hold for over 30 min before I again got someone I could hardly understand who offered nothing but an "I'm sorry." After being placed on hold several times totaling over 45minutes she came back to the phone to tell me that they would again reprocess my order and that would take 3-5 business days and then they would again request expedited shipping but could not promise they would provide it. When I told her this was an unacceptable answer and asked to speak with a customer service manager she told me none were available.
I argued with her for several minutes before she agreed to find me a manager and placing me on hold yet again. Another 30 minutes passed and the only answer I kept getting was no one is available and then she informed me that the shoes are no longer available and there was nothing they could do. I demanded to speak with a manager at this point and told the lady to not get back on the phone until she had a manager or a pair of shoes being shipped to my house this weekend. Again, I waited on hold for over 20 minutes when a manager finally took the line. I again explained everything to this lady and she gave me the same "I'm sorry, but the shoes are no longer available but should a pair become available she would personally ship them to me."
I told her this was not acceptable that it had been over a month and the company had now messed up twice. I wanted to know what they were going to do to correct the problem and she basically told me that there was nothing they could do. I asked for another pair of KDs comparable and was told that was not an option. They didn't even offer a refund and could not tell me if a pair would even become available or if they did when. After spending over 2 hrs on the phone with customer service I had finally argued enough and was done. I requested my money back and they even argued with that telling me that I could wait and she would personally ship the shoes when/if they became available. Really?
The company messed up once by misplacing my order, messed up a 2nd time by sending me the completely wrong item ($10 socks instead of $100 shoes) and now due to their mess up the item I originally ordered over a month ago that was in stock is no longer available and the only answer I got was if/when they become available they will ship them to me... Oh and for my inconvenience they will give me a $15 credit towards my next purchase! Keep your credit; I will no longer be shopping at ANY Finish Line. It seems to me that in light of the company's own mess up not once but twice it should not matter how they corrected the problem, it should have been corrected, including but not limited to sending me a pair of shoes even if they were a bit more expensive.

Never again will I deal with Finish Line. I ordered a pair of Air Max running shoes on cyber Monday that were originally $189 and on sale for $109 plus shipping. One week later, I receive an email saying that they are out of my size and will be cancelling my order. I go to the website, and they are listed for $149 and have my size available. I phone customer service and sit on hold for over an hour. When someone finally answers, they tell me that they do not have the shoes in inventory and that the website has not been updated, then, they hang up on me. I call back and the next person that I speak with, after another 30 minute wait, tells me the same thing. Why would a company as large as Finish Line not update their website and provide better customer service? This company really does not care about the customer and I will never go through the hassle of ordering from them again. This is a very poorly run company.

So you all don't have an actual warehouse where merchandise is coming from and you all depend on stores to have these items when ppl shop at stores daily.

In June 2015, I entered your store at the Opry Mills Mall in Nashville, TN. After I found a pair of Nike's that I really liked, the staff told me that they didn't have my size at their store and asked if I would like to order them and get them delivered to my home. They proceeded to look through their system for availability of the product while I waited in front of them. They then told me the shoe and size was available and so I ordered it and paid in cash on site. A couple of days later, I received an email with a notification that my shoes had been shipped. After a few weeks, I still did not receive my shoes nor heard anything from the store so I decided to call and find out what was going on. I was shocked when your customer service told me that my shoes were NEVER shipped because they were out of stock. I really wonder why I received an email saying my order had been confirmed and shipped?!
Your customer service representative then told me they will refund the full amount and give me a $20 coupon as an apology. I was very disappointed but it's not like they left me with any other option. I waited for my check in the mail another several weeks and guess what? That's right, I never received it. At this point, it has been around 4 months since I had walked into your store. I found the time (and patience) when I knew I could spare a minimum of 30 minutes of being placed on hold to call the customer service line again and ask about my refund. Turns out that the check was NEVER sent to me! How do I know? In the words of your representative, "there is no record of a refund ever being requested".
I repeatedly asked to speak to a manager or supervisor and each time, I was placed on hold for 15-20 minutes just to be told nobody is available time and time again. The 2 phone call I made that day added up to over an hour of being on hold most of that time. The entire situation is beyond unacceptable! I would never have thought that a store chain the size of this would put absolutely no value at all toward its customers! The time lapse of the numerous disappointments and lies is going on 5 months now. My hopes that something will be done about this issue are close to none due to my own experiences as well as the many negative reviews and stories I found online about this company.

I said "So when all is said and done it will have taken me a month to get my sneakers at least, I would have to take time out of my schedule to print and repackage label and sneakers, as well as take them to a return place to ship out.

Here it is 08/05/2015 and still no refund. I will not be ordering/purchasing from them ever again.

Customer service with Finish Line is by far the worst that I have ever encountered. I made several attempts to receive coupons through their Winners Circle rewards card that I had coming to me and never to date received even one. Although my correct address was online at the Winners Circle site, every time I tried to get the coupons mailed to me it was kicked back as an "undeliverable address." Even though shoes that had been ordered online was shipped to the address that they considered wrong when it came to sending me my earned coupons. Even a "human" contact via phone and repeated emails, they still would not send me any coupons. Actually they never even bother to respond to my emails at all. They take your money but then you may as well invisible.

It would be convenient if Finish Line would have layaway for mothers like me that can't come up with the whole amount in one shot cause I have bills to pay too. If Finish Line would have layaway I would be able to put stuff on layaway early before school start and they would be able to have their stuff by the time they start school. But other than that the store employees are wonderful people, very respectful and helpful.

I have recently started ordering/collecting Jordan sneakers. My first experience was about 2 months ago where my friends and I went online 2 hours prior to 10am release and were able to order a pair of Jordan's (oreo's) on Finish Line's website. Since then I have been able to get a few other new releases through Finish Line's website without any problems. Recently with the last 3 releases everything has gone downhill. I work for another sales company and I am very familiar with having the credit card info match the bill to and ship to information for security, however my last 3 experiences have been very negative. I'm able to get online early and usually get past the countdown window and to the order page/shopping cart by 10:15-10:30am.. But have so many problems receiving error messages that my credit card info does not match my ship to.
After several attempts and being back on the countdown clock I finally get a message stating the shoe is sold out. So I wasn't able to get my shoes.. Contacted both credit cards and both credit card companies say we authorized the charge however Finish Line declined, and both cards show pending amounts for the charge. Confirmed address matched exactly what I entered and it did. So another new release and I'm back in line 2 hours prior to release time, and sure enough same issues!! I have even setup my iPhone to give me a pop-up to notify me when a charge goes through my credit cards, sure enough my card says charged but Finish Line website says there's an error! And few hours later my card shows that the charge has been credited back to my account. So now I lost out on 2 releases!
So last night Friday May 23rd, 2015 - one day before the release of the new Jordan Retro II Low's I decided to place an order for a regular sneaker for my daughter just to see if order will fail. The sneaker cost $45 for child size and the card I always use went through and sure enough I received an email stating my order is official! I was happy and I had a good feeling that I will have no problems when I get to the order page for the new release! Woke up Saturday morning at 7:45am and logged on to Finish Line's website and went on the link to order the new Jordan's, after being on the countdown screen for about 2 1/2 hours I was able to get on the order page to enter my credit card info... Sure enough I received my first error message about billing info not matching! And now I was getting frustrated! I was able to go back and check everything and still no go! Went back, even used another credit card and that didn't work either.
Meanwhile my phone is alerting me that my credit card was just charged from Finish Line multiple times... After several attempts and an hour of trying I finally received a message stating the shoe has been sold out! I now missed the third pair of Jordan's in a row. Being frustrated at this company I have decided to take my business elsewhere going forward and decided to return my recent purchases since my purchase falls within the return window. I am a person of principle, even though the Jordan's that I was able to get prior to these 3 experiences are one I would like to keep they are being returned! I always buy 2 pairs, one to wear and one for collection! I haven't worn them yet and decided to go to the store for refund!
Went to the mall today and the sales rep had to get a manager for refund approval, shoes were never worn and in box with tags and receipt. Manager stated he can't take these because it's a special order/special release. They would have to be returned through the mail, which I found confusing because no where in the return disclosure does it state that these sneakers can't be returned to the store, just can't be a Finish Line within a Macy's.. It felt like the store manager did not want to take them back because it would count as a negative transaction to their numbers or goals or something! This was my experience with this company and I will be returning these sneakers in the mail soon. However I would like to find out more information about Finish Line's legal disclosures in regards to their in store return policy as I feel the written policy on their website and on receipt is misleading the consumer with misinformation.

Because I didn't spend over $100 (excluding tax) and therefore eligible for free shipping, I bought a pair of workout shorts bring my total to over $100 and presumably eligible for free shipping. When I received my products and final bill, there was a charge of $12.47 for shipping. When I called about it, I was told that there is no free shipping on sale items. Nowhere on the website could I find this information; when I asked the telephone person where is this information about no free shipping, he said it is the company policy and it doesn't matter that there is no such statement.

I ordered a pair of Nike Shox at the Finish Line Store in Meadow Brook Mall in Bridgeport WV because the store didn't have them in my boyfriend's size. I paid cash $127.19. Waited on shoes to come, when they did he put them on and wore them around the house and garage for couple of hours. They started to hurt his feet. He took them off. Put them back in the box and waited till had a day off work to take them back to store.
Took them to the store today and the employee ** took shoes I told him that my boyfriend would be in, in a minute to maybe try on another pair or get my money back, probably my money back because you cannot get wide within store or ordered. ** proceeds to say the shoes were "muddy". I said they were not muddy they had a little dust spot on one place on top of shoe, that was all. He said no they are "Muddy". I left shoes and walked away to the shoes because he was determined to say they were "muddy".
While I was standing waiting on shoes ** proceeds to snidely tell the other boy in store making fun "look she says this is dust". This makes me mad so I told the other employee I spent $127.00 on shoes they are not going to allow me to return! The employee ** said "I don't blame you there!" So they teamed up together to say we could exchange the shoes. I am sorry this made me very mad because I paid cash, you could wipe the dust off the shoe and they acted like I was lying. The employees asked me to lower my voice or they would make me leave, I told them I would never be back and left it up to Armour shoes he don't like and they cost $79.98, they gave him a gift card for $42.41.
First I paid cash, money refunded for difference should have been cash. Second anywhere you go to school 127.19 subtract 79.98 equals $47.21! So I call Finish Line customer care line. My third mistake! I got a half English speaking lady who just kept repeating Finish line policy. Finally when I got a better speaking English lady over her, she tells me I can't do anything but file complaint on ** so I do. She says "plus I will give you a $20.00 reward". Really?

So last year I bought a pair of 130 dollar Jordans for my son from finishline.com, they shipped to me and the box was destroyed and it happen to be raining. Luckily the sneaker box protected the sneakers but the packing was absolutely horrible. So I chalked it up too things happen, it's a busy season and the sneakers are fine and maybe the carrier was at fault. That's a Big NOT!!!
I buy another pair of Jordans this year and my wife just found this pommeled box on our porch, Ironically again in the freaking rain. I see this time the sneaker box is just mangled, no packing paper or peanuts inside and there are scratches on the sneakers themselves like they've been worn and they feel like cheap counterfeits to boot for being 130 dollars.
After Christmas I will drive to the store which is about 30 minutes away and return them and have a say to them in person. Of course I will not be rude to the guys working the store as it's not their fault but I will absolutely show all my receipts and explain how I am a loyal customer and their shipping department is a horror show.
They have all bloody year to prepare for this season and they absolutely dropped the ball. I wish I could post a pic. This box was taped with 5 inch gaps in between each top piece. Absolute train wreck of packing and it look's as though it was done by somebody that not only hated their job but purposely wanted to ruin the Finishlines reputation.
For the kind of money I spend I don't expect to find a wet box absolutely destroyed sitting outside. We have been home so shame on Ups as well. I don't belong to any social media and never do things like this but I am so angry I googled to see if the Finishline had bad shipping/packing reviews and sure enough I found a ton of them. Maybe adding another horrible review to the stack will wake somebody up at the Finishline's Corporate office to take at look at what's going on.
Price or selection, convenience or what ever reason you shop at the Finshline.com beware the packing is absolutely horrible and I think I will find a new retailer to do business with.

On Black Friday 2014, I attempted to purchase a pair of sneakers that were released on that day. Once I waited in a digital line b/c internet traffic was so heavy, I was able to select the shoes and start the checkout process. Once I entered my pymt info it flashed back to the same screen as if I had to re-enter my information. There was never a confirmation or order # given. After entering the info a 2nd time, the same thing happens. At the attempt I was told my card issuer wouldn't authorize the transaction. I then check my acct to find that 2 separate holds for over $200 each have been placed on my card. I immediately contact Finish Line who originally told me the hold would fall off in 2-3 hrs. Once that time elapsed I called again to be told the actual time is 1-3 business days.
I was outraged. Not only did they lie to me about their timeline and there was no way anyone could place a rush to honor it, but the website allows you to order inventory that they do not have and you are immediately charged for them. Also, I would not have known about the holds on my card if I had not used my own brain. This is a MAJOR issue. It’s not like the shoes are on backorder - they are sold out and they will NOT receive another shipment. I will never shop with this company in store or online again. Customer service is non-existent. The rep kept repeating the policy to me about processing holds - I practically had to tell her to shut up.

I was super excited knowing it was on Finishline.com. I then proceed on making a purchase and even had it express shipped to me, which was an extra $30 dollar. That's how bad I wanted these sneaker since it was a gift/limited edition. The process was successful and I had receive a confirmation number. These sneaker cost value was $130 plus shipping and taxes was total $172.25.
After waiting for 2 days, I received a call to verify my billing phone number which was not normal to me. I never in my life made a purchase online who has to verify a billing phone number, only zip code if it does not match. This was very interest when the agent proceed to inform me that the number does not match. Which is the only number I had. She then insist to contact my credit card company which I was fine with to confirm but they weren't open. She then later inform me, that I will be contacted or can call back the next day since it was a Sunday, but didn't assist on a time frame.

I was able to reach an agent finally which she then transfer me and the same thing happen again. Even with online chat was unsuccessful help. My credit card company told me my recent transaction was successful and my contact number was fine.

Everyone in the company seem to be pointing finger and is providing different information that was not the same informed me with (I can't do nothing about it). But your Customer Care agent and the Support is nowhere to be in reach.
I don't know what was going on but know for sure that the customer service was unprofessional. I've worked in customer services for over 10 years and that include couple of years in retail and sale/footwear sale/even as customer support over the phone. It's crazy how my credit card was authorized for the purchase but I won't be receiving my item. And to make it worst, I am not able to repurchase due to the item is now currently out of stock. I feel as if Finish Line oversell on item that they don't have. How are you going to sell something you don't have in stock. Make no sense and cause unconvinced to customer who is looking to make future purchase???? I understand if it's out of stock then inform me and don't give me no confirmation number or authorized my card. It seem like an excuse to ask for a phone number contact just so they can cancel my order because they can't provide me with the merchandise.
The stress of having to deal with this situation is bad enough and having to wait on a refund/release on my card is even more stressful because that 3-5 more days added and is even unsure if it would release the hold that fast. This has been the worst experience I have ever had as a shopaholic. I will never shop with them again and for sure won't refer anyone.

Mr. ** had an opportunity to correct a wrong but he refused to acknowledge the mistake made by either his salesperson or the distributor and I, the customer, was forced to take a loss for the cost of shipping a shoe order that I never ordered. To add insult to injury, when I arrived at the store to speak with Mr. ** I was the only customer present when the salesperson informed him he had customer.

He said the total would be just about $90.00 for the two items. I said that I did not have that amount planned but would take the insoles and be back in two days for the shoes. That was fine and he said he would put my name "Mary" on them and have them behind the counter.
I did indeed return to the REGENCY MALL FINISH LINE store in Racine WI 53406 on Saturday. The shoes were not at the register, and he had to go in back and brought out "my pair" he said. HE then charged me $73.56 for the shoes he said were $61.00. When I got home they were NOT size 9.5, they were size 10. TOO big. The ones I tried were honestly just perfect.

Recently ordered sneakers online from Finish Line. They sent the wrong ones. This stuff can happen anywhere, but the way the situation was handled was piss poor and left me angry with the company. When informed of their mistake the original sneakers were sold out. The mistake was on THEIR part. I ordered the correct shoes and everything. The company made no effort to rectify the situation. (Zappos recently sent the wrong pair of shoes, and had the shoes shipped back free of charge, and sent a $25.00 credit to apologize for the mistake.) Take note Finish Line! The Finish Line website is also very poorly managed. I called the toll free number and spoke with a guy who said the shoes in my size were sold out, yet the website proved otherwise. The shoes were still available on the site!
Customers would add the shoes to their cart, and go through checkout and payment, then would get an order cancellation email. This stuff shouldn't be happening to the customers. There is no excuse and the company needs to clean up their act, and hire some employees who actually know how to do their job! I spoke to multiple people on the phone, most of which were rude, condescending, and unaware of how to make the situation better. There were no apologies and I felt like I was being blamed for their mistake! I was even charged to send back the shoes that I hadn't even ordered! This was the first and last time my business will be given to such an unprofessional company. I wouldn't recommend anyone to shop here and have to go through what I did. Save your purchase for a company who cares about the satisfaction of its customers.

I bought a sneaker on 5/24/14. Received the package on 5/31/14 with only the right side. Called customer service, told me I would receive the left side in one to three business days which should by 6/4/14. Called back today the same agent told me she would sent out a new pair for me today next day delivery, then came back on the phone and told me she tracked down the left side the and now have to wait until 6/09/14. And wont me give a refund. Never give me a tracking number. It sent out the first time. Suppose to believe I will get it on the 9th. Worst service ever, I expected far better action from your company.

Hands down the worst customer service of any company I have ever dealt with. I was looking for a very specific Nike and went to a store and the guy said they were out. So I tried on a bunch and he talked me into buying a pair, and told me I could always return the pair at a different Finish Line (since I was visiting from out of state anyways) and I could get the pair I wanted. Well, I ended up hating the pair I got, and wanting my original pair, and what do you know, Finish Line doesn't even have the shoe I want. At all. Not online... Not at any store... Nowhere. So I called customer service and the lady was no worse than an AT&T sales rep who barely spoke English and probably had the IQ of a kindergartner and kept repeating herself. I can't even return this $150 pair of shoes... and am SOL. I will be reporting them to the BBB.

This is a HORRIBLE company to order anything online from. We will NEVER USE YOU AGAIN!! My girlfriend and I ordered a pair of Nike Air Max Thea Print shoes - Order ID # ** on 4/17. There was a "Temporary Merchant Authorization" for $90.60 on the associated account used to order them. It disappeared the next day, and never came back until 4/28 without any authorization from us!!! We never received any confirmation e-mail (even in the Spam folder). We spoke with customer service Online 2 days later, and they never had ANY record of any order under the billing name or the shipping address.
We went into the Store on 4/22 located at Paddock Mall in Ocala FL. We were helped by a very nice guy working there, who placed the order for the SAME PAIR OF SHOES, that YOU HAD NO RECORD OF BEING PLACED. We actually got it CHEAPER (because sending them to the store had no shipping charges). They arrived in the store on the 23rd. This is where the story should end - but wait, there's more!! Then on 4/30, the pair we originally ordered (that YOU HAD NO RECORD OF BEING PLACED) showed up... We took the pair, unopened into the same store at Paddock Mall. There was a nice girl working there, who was happy to refund the $ to the card. However - she could only refund $84.00 (the price of the shoes WITHOUT shipping). This is NOT a large amount of money, but why would you expect the CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKE?!?!
The girl called customer service in front of us on 4/30. We were told the entire amount of $90.60 would be returned to the card within 3-4 business days, or Tuesday 5/6 at the latest. Today is Thursday, 5/8, we called customer service AGAIN... Only to spend 40 minutes on the phone arguing about getting OUR MONEY WHICH YOU TOOK WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION back!! We were told you are going to "MAIL A CHECK"!! What?? Ridiculous. We did not use a check to pay, we used BANK OF AMERICA, and should be refunded ACCORDINGLY. We will NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH YOU AGAIN. BUYER BEWARE. Spoke with Austin, ext. ** on Thursday, 5/8/2014. Horrible customer service. Horrible experience.

Finish line shipped me the wrong shoes. Not only did they ship me the wrong shoes but they wanted to just totally disregard me as a customer by having me send the shoes back without accepting any fault. That company can never ever get another dollar from me as long as I live.

The store Manager a Hispanic gentlemen had a horrible attitude when I simply asked a question if they had a certain sneaker in stock. He completely ignored me and gave me an attitude completely ignoring me. This is the second time that this has occurred and many people that shop at this Massapequa Finish Line also have complaint of the same person. I know that we have our bad days but customer service is awful.

Bought something online and decided to return to local store since I didn't like. When I did the return, I didn't have my credit card on me so the store manager refund me in an in store credit on a gift card with receipt. I end up selling it on eBay since I couldn't find something I really want. Note that this card is new unscratch card with original receipt. When he try to make a purchase with it, it was empty. The buyer even went to his local store to get this fixed but directed to customer service. My buyers pissed and assumes I sold him a fake card. The card was return to me for a refund. I took to it back to my local store to the same person who gave me that credit. He checks it and it's zero and directs me to online customer service. Doesn't make sense for a manager to turn me out provided receipt. His answer is he gave the credit or it wouldn't print out a receipt. He judgments is I'm the pulling a scam.
I call customer service online and gave all the info with proof of credit transactions and date. I investigated with my receipts and the small feedback I gotten from customer service. They have been putting me on hold day after day that they are investigating. Point is it shows that the day I sold this card on eBay, it was used on the same day in another state (CA). This card is new and was not sent off til 2 days after that and received 3 days from then by the buyer. So there is no way my buyer in PA even use this card and it sure ain't me who in TN. Finish Line given a whole with proof and transactions still have no answer. I'm pissed and not sure where to turn but file me a case. Finish Line is still investigating and not giving me my money or giving me a real answer. Point is bad customer service on their end. Should just give the customer her money (she provided proof in every way) and then deal with their investigation. They are reliable in all ways. This whole ordeal been in hand for a whole month now. I love Finish Line but I'm done with them unless paying cash only.

I went into Finish Line and a nice young lady who was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable was helping me. She went to get me a pair of shoes and one of the employees came up to me and told me that she does not know what she is talking about I should not buy shoes from her. It was obvious he did not like her or women and he did not want her to get the commission. She was great and I would buy from her again if she worked anywhere else but Finish Line. I have since made an effort to go into the store and observe the behavior and I am appalled! This company should be sued! The guys treat the female sales associates as dirt and the manager who is male by the way, just watched it all happen. This store was in Erie, PA and if it represents the company overall then this company needs sanctions. By the way there are only white sales associates and only males who seem to be running the store. Hmmmm!

I ordered a sweatshirt for my husband for Christmas online. I got a deal where the sweatshirt was half off, as well as free shipping. After a couple of days, I noticed that the sweatshirt had not shipped out. So after contacting Finish Line via their website, I got an email stating that the order was cancelled because they didn't have any in stock. But when I placed the order, it never said that they were out of stock. I can't seem to get any replies back about why they didn't have any on-hand and was not told when I checked out online that they were out of stock. I believe that they should somehow make this right.

On March 17, 2012, I bought shoes at Finish Line located at Landmark Mall, Alexandria VA. I returned the shoes due to husband not fitting the shoes. I started receiving Sports Illustration not knowing why. I didn't know where they were coming from. Then this month, I noticed a $24.95 charge from Sports Illustrated on my credit card, the one I used to purchase the shoes. I called the 1-877 number and was told that I must have authorized the subscription at Finish Line. I don't subscribe to magazines on trial basis because I know I don't remember to cancel. Please check your records for a subscription starting March 30, 2012 and send me proof of my signature. In the meantime, your office has canceled the subscription and will reimburse my account.

On Cyber Monday, I was told by Janie that their computers were down and my credit card which had plenty of money, wouldn't go through. He refused my asking him to read my information back to see what was wrong. After Thanksgiving, on Cyber Monday, 11/28/11, customers were told that their system was down. I've been told that every holiday and sales time.Yet on Tuesday, Finish Line promised they'd honor prices from Monday. What a lie! I never got shoes and any return calls, forcing me to continue to call after being mistreated and having to seek medicines and psychiatric aide.
Four months passed, their vice president called since I left messages and emails all through out this foul play. He called from his cell number, which is now disconnected after he sent and I received defected, worn and damaged polo boots. I went through all this for boots that's just sitting in a box. Their nasty, bias and mean legal department has blocked my calls to their facilities and denied me contact to their district manager Glen **. All of Finish Line's managers have denied me his information for help!
This isn't the first time my disabled butt has received defected shoes with all sorts of damages, glue, scratches, separating soles, etc. They've retaliated against me because I've reported their false advertisement practices. I'm was told yesterday, 02/22/12, no one will ever speak to me again and I can only purchase "Emily" online. I grew enraged. It's a ten-year relationship to rubble, over their neglect, trifling, horrible and hacked communications and compromised computer software. Consumers should know too. SOS!
Regards to the polo boots I have that are dirty and worn. They said I'm stuck with them. Their vice president told me on his cell that the polo boots were being sent to him before being sent out. I don't know why. But when I got them, they were damaged and still are collecting dust.

I was given a $25.00 gift card for Christmas. When I tried to use the card, the store's agent rejected the card stating there were no funds on the card. I am certain that the person who gave this card did so in good faith, so I must assume that it was not properly processed when she purchased it. I will never shop at the Finish Line again and will use every opportunity to sully the reputation of this chain.

I ordered shoes via FinishLine.com on Dec 23rd when the shoes were first released and received email confirmation that my order was in process and that the shoes would be shipped to me 3-5 business days. This order was a Christmas present for my son and Finish Line canceled the order a week later stating that they could not find the shoes in their stores! They should not have ever taken orders online if they had to rely on store inventory knowing that the stores would be bombarded upon opening.
My shoes were ordered prior to the opening of any of their stores so somehow those shoes should have been reserved for me! Never again will I shop at Finish Line and I hope to get them shut down from doing all online sales as there are plenty of stories available online with the same experience. The fact that they take orders without a real inventory system in place is fraud and they should be charged with such!

I was badly mistreated by the manager of Finish Line located at Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus Ohio. It was the worst experience of shopping in my entire life. First, be aware that cashiers of Finish Line charge extra money in the name of donations at checkout. Despite I clearly said no to the cashier's request for donations, she added unauthorized donations to the total charge. Most shoppers would not notice this sneaky extra charge unless they examine the receipt carefully. In response to my complaints, the store manager said, “Shame on you.” Shame for what? Shame for refusing to pay unwanted donations? I don't believe in donations through for profit companies because they can misuse the customers donations in order to reduce their tax liabilities. Following are more details of what happened in the afternoon on December 27, 2010:
My son wanted to buy a sweater in Finish Line at Polaris by using the gift card of $50 he received for Christmas. At checkout, the cashier asked for donations, but I clearly said no. After she swapped my son's gift card, however, I noticed that the amount charged was incorrect. When I asked about it, she said that the amount included taxes and some donations. Dumfounded, I asked her to correct the unauthorized donations. Without any explanation or apology, she cancelled the charge. What followed after cancellation was unbelievable. The cashier refused to accept the gift card for the payment because she said the cancellation froze the gift card for 24 hours.
I said to her, you saw the gift card has $50 value when you swapped it. You know that you will have $50 in 24 hours. Can you accept it? Well, she continued to refuse. My son was obviously disappointed because he was not able to buy it right away. I got upset because the cashier was responsible for freezing my son's gift card by charging unauthorized donations. To resolve this, I was waiting for more than 30 minutes to see the manager. However, the manager was a lot worse than the cashier was. Without offering any apology, he repeated there was nothing he could do. His response was entirely take or leave. When I raised my voice out of frustration, he threatened me to bring security guards.
The manager was verbally abusive by saying, “Shame on you.” Furthermore, while I was leaving, I found that store employee had been videotaping my son and me, perhaps for the entire time. I could not help but scream, “You **.” I am a proud mom. I am even more grieving because I was mistreated and humiliated by the store manager in front of my son.

Well, I have ordered the shoes twice already. The first time I ordered them, the sticking in the front completely fell apart. And I only used them for basketball and haven't even had them a year. So today, when I got out of practice, I noticed that my shoe was a little loose and I looked down and the whole side had a hole on it, like where I could put my hand in it. It is pretty bad. They are XV1.5 Jordans made for basketball and I love Jordans but this is the first time I have ever had problems with them. It kind of sucks because now I don't want to buy Jordans anymore.

I hope this isn't too petty or a waste of time for you folks. Long story short, the retailer (Finish Line) had a Black Friday sale on Nike Shox M1 shoes for only $42. So I ordered a pair and got an order confirmation number. 6 days later, I received an order cancellation notice. I called Finish Line asking what the problem was. Two different folks said that they had sold out of the shoe. So they took my order without being able to fulfill it. Either they were outright fraudulent or they don't have a clue on what they actually have in stock. All I know is I was out a pair of Nike. To cap the whole experience, I was then told the shoe was again available but, for $79. If I'm the only one who complains to you, then it was just my bad luck. But if there are more complaints coming in to you about Finish Line, you might want to consider whether you wish to contact them regarding their selling practices.

This is the worst company out there. I have been ordering from this company since Feb 2008. I have spent over 1,500 with them and the customer service gets worst and worst. The final situation is when I placed an order for 4 pairs of shoes. This company just cancelled the order and stated that they could not verify the billing address on file. Now keep in mind the most recent order was on Thanksgiving Day. No verification no nothing just shipped the order. I then called back and placed the order with the customer service rep, who ensured me that my order would be shipped express due to the poor customer service. The order was verified all info given and you guess what? The order was cancelled for the 2nd time.
I then called my credit card company, was notified that this company never called them to get verification? Such liars. Then I placed an order for the 3rd and final time. Also I am a part of the winner's circle. You spend 200 dollars in one year and receive a 10 off. This is another false advertising method. You have to spend at lease 40 and you can not get the discount off certain shoes. What a rip off?
If their return policy was not so strict I would box up all the 20 plus shoes that I bought and return them asap. Also if my kids did not want the shoes so much I would not buy from them. I can tell you one thing I would rather buy from Footlocker any day to avoid the con artist selling practices. I would rather spend the extra.. IS there any legal action I can take for their action regarding the winners circle issue and others? Pls let me know so I can....
