“They won't refund your money”

Chad L.
2/26/24

I returned something after 30 days and received a gift card -- not a problem. But when I used the gift card on a huge order and returned a small portion of the order within 30 days, they gave me another gift card. I asked why I didn't receive a refund to my credit card, and they said they refund the gift card first. So if I bought $10,000 in new stuff and returned one item, they'd pay me back in a gift card again. So it's an endless loop of never being able to use the gift card if I return anything from a new order, no matter how large the new order is. Garbage policy. Annoying little scam.

Well I ordered a pair of Scott tennis shoes and they were way too small, i sent them back, they were delivered to Irving TX, im waiting on refund. meanwhile I ordered a pair of Diadora and they arrived, fit perfect,they were on sale for a great price..so i ordered a 2nd pair.
The very next day...I didnt even get to wear them, the rubber came unglued at the toe. i req a return, chose defective as the reason, and my est refund is $12 less than what i paid?? I will update this review

So sorry you received defective shoes! It's rare but it can definitely happen. Don't worry about the "estimated refund", your refund should be for the full value. If you would like to verify exactly how much you were refunded, feel free to give our customer service team a call. We will be happy to provide you with all the details!

Tried to place an order online for sneakers, totaling about $45. When I added my ship to address I noticed that sales tax was being charged in error. Called customer service and was told to submit my order and call back for a refund. Told the representative I would not be placing the order but was offered no alternative, so did not order.
I live in New York City, NY and there is no sales tax on an item of clothing or footwear that costs less than $110. An item of clothing or footwear that costs $110 or more is subject to the full 8.875% tax rate.
Appears to me that this is quite a significant error in Shoebacca's online order processing system. Wonder what Shoebacca is doing with all the sales tax erroneously collected.

Jill H. – Shoebacca Rep

Hi Ann, we appreciate your concern regarding taxation. Due to recent tax law changes we are now required to tax in states where sales tax is charged. Because tax laws vary by state we have encountered some technical issues in states like New York where some but not all footwear/apparel is taxable. Some states charge tax on boots like Timberland but not sneakers. Others may charge tax on wrestling shoes but not running shoes. We are working diligently to resolve this issue quickly but in the meantime we are refunding any tax collected where tax was charged incorrectly. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Wanted sent to another address as a gift. I added the gift address in, but when i put my payment in it erased my son's address. Immediately called but the phone was out of service. And then got an e-mail saying i couldn't change the address because of a security policy.

it was an email, no personal service

I stopped by a shoe store to find sneakers and I was about to purchase them from the store but decided to see how much the shoes would cost me if I purchased them online. I entered the name of the shoe and Shoebacca had them for 50% less than what I was going to pay in the store AND I got a $10 discount for being a first-time shopper. Overall great experience.

Reason I chose this product:

Needed new running shoes

I love the colors on the shoe, but I was not expecting the shoe to be leather. I was looking for a non-leather shoe, and I didn't see leather in the description for this shoe. I could have just not read the description correctly and skipped over it (wouldn't put it past myself), but that disappointed me a bit. I have gotten a lot of compliments, though. :)) )
I wore them to work where I am standing all day and have walked around town with them, and they are pretty comfortable. However, the tongue is made of a more durable material that rubs against my foot when wearing no-show socks, which is uncomfortable.

Reason I chose this business:

My friend recommended it to me.

Reason I chose this product:

I liked the variety of colors and I thought that the shoes were not leather, but that could have just been my mistake.

The shoes were fine but I was out of town for a week and forgot my running shoes. I ordered them on a Monday and their site specifically said "2nd Day - $12.00
2 Business Days - Monday - Friday". This is copied and pasted from their site. When I got the notice of delivery, it said Thursday. I immediately emailed them and they did nothing about it. So I paid an extra day shipping and only got to use the shoes one day. I could have just returned home and bought a pair at the mall. I emailed them mutliple times and they ignored my emails.

In business, just do what you say you are going to do and if you can't then make it right.

I have ordered shoes from Shoebacca a few times before and had no issues. This time around was a bit different. The first pair I ordered had one of the lace eyes tore off when I was first lacing the shoe, so I returned it and ordered another pair, no issue at that point. The second pair of shoes (same brand/style as the first) arrived, and the exact same thing happened... a different lace eye tore right off the first time lacing them up. I did the second return (again no issues with the returns), and ordered a 3rd pair of shoes, this time with no laces and a Velcro flap wanting to avoid the whole lace issue. After about a week I got an email saying that my order had been cancelled with no explanation whatso ever. When I called in to enquire, I was told they "think" they are out of stock. So now after a month and three, well almost three, pairs of shoes... I am forced to look elsewhere for shoes.

I ordered men's shoes and was sent women's shoes. The hassle of returning the shoes in comparison to the cost wasn't worth the time and trouble. Truly disappointed with Shoebacca. I'm 100% sure I will not shop with them again.
Now I have a pair of women's shoes I donated to a local shelter. That was the only good part.

Shoebacca has always Been professional & honest in all my transactions with them, except on this order. The shoes received were not the same as shown in the photographs.
The Boat Shoes advertised are "Slip On" not the "Lace Ups" I received.

Sent two e-mails and the last one received from Customer Support told me to send information on the shoes for them to give to the Warehouse " it would save them time", I had already sent the shoe model # and order # with my first e-mail.
The shoe # is the same one shown on the description of the listing.
The only problem I have is with the "Shoelaces." PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Reason I chose this business:

I trusted them as I just expanded in your first question.

I normally get the 7.5 Wide New Balance velcro walking shoe. Bummed that you did not have it. If I wear slim socks and not velcro them too tight I can get by. BUT... I would like to order the 7.5 Wide version when you have more in.

Reason I chose this business:

I don't like Amazon

Reason I chose this product:

I've had at least 11 of the New Balance velcro walking shoe. I love them - usually get 2 per year if in stock.

Shoes got to me before a couple pair I had ordered through Saucony 2 weeks before the pair I ordered through Shoebacca. Shoebacca is smart though and they don't use FedEx. Unfortunately, Saucony does.

Site wouldn't complete my order several times with PayPal. Started over and it finally took it.

These are no where near as good fitting as my others from a box store, to the point the I think the shoes are 'blems' from production, the right arch is not in the correct place and the right shoe makes my foot contact weird causing my knee to hurt. Disappoint because I absolutely LOVED my last pair of Tubes.

Described my problem with ordering, he hung up on me

Reason I chose this business:

My delivery was not made to my address. On the delivery day UPS claimed they could not deliver because I was not home. Lie. I live in an apartment building with a security system. UPS has a key to enter and leave packages in the mail room. There is also a call box and UPS did not attempt to call me while at my door The next day the web site said the package was out for delivery. Nothing came. When I checked the Shoebacca site that evenig it said the package had been delivered to a dock. No further info. The next day the Shoebacca site would not allow me to access the delivery info. I had to call to find that the package had been delivered to a Michael's store. I made a special trip to then find my package. Let's just say this was not a great experience.
