Terrible policy. They offer free exchanges, but when the item you want goes out of stock before your return shows back up they stick you with the restock fee. The reps just laugh and say "that's the way it is." Awful and deceptive company, I disputed the transaction with my credit card and hope they will settle it.
Its been 20 days since I placed my order and I have sent many emails, I am unable to acess the email that was given when the shoes were purchased and so have no clue about when they should be arriving, my card has been charged but no one is bothering to reply to my emails? Honestly the worst service ever. I will be making a phone call later in the week.
Hi Victoria! We are very sorry to hear about this experience. Items are supposed to take 3-10 business days to arrive for U.S. orders and 10-14 business days for international orders. Please keep in mind that weekends and holidays are not business days.
If you have not received your order within this time frame, please contact our customer service department so we can investigate this.
I ordered from Europe. I had to pay an extra 60% of transport, duties and taxes, informed by the carrier the day before the delivery...
Shoebuy should inform clearly and directly their clients about all costs involved, like others do.
Also, I had no reply to my emails... And phone calls on hold seamed like never ending stories to the point of quitting.
Of course the carrier gave me the option of sending back the article, but with the risk of having no refund I opted to pay and forget. No Shoebuy again for sure! Unless I have a good reply and some kind satisfaction.
(For instance, I had a very small problem with an article from Asia: What did the supplier do? They've refunded without any questions and without having the article back. As simple as that).

Placed order Dec 6. It is now the 21 and no shoes. I called company 5 times and was told they were working with UPS to resolve. Finally called UPS today. They have had no contact about the problem. Called today 12-21-18 asking for a refund. They again said they would file a claim and it would be 10 days before they would here. Merry Christmas Stay away. Stay away. Needs a negative rating Nancy T.
I had a very expensive pair of sandals given to me in the winter for Christmas. I live in a snowy climate so I obviously had to wait until May to use them. Well in less then two months the sandals were coming apart even though I did not damage them or use them for any hard work. I was also careful to not get them wet. I contact shoes.com and asked if they had any recommendations for what I could do to fix this damage on my shoe (it was coming apart completely from the base). They could not have cared less and said it was longer then 60 days since the order was placed. I asked them how I would have worn these sandals in the winter and again asked what they can recommend I do To fix this. Still waiting for a reply. I would highly discourage anyone from buying on their site, the service reps do not care and have no interest in assisting. Terrible website!
Fellow Shoe Shoppers - please be advised that Shoebuy.com charges a $6.95 restocking fee PER PAIR of shoes returned. I recently ordered a pair of shoes in two different sizes so that I could try them. In order to return the pair that didn't fit I was charged $6.95 restocking fee plus the cost of returning the shoes, $12.00, for a total of almost $20.00 to return a $37.00 pair of shoes. Zappos, nor any other company that I deal with online does this. Ripping customers off is how they make their money,. Never again.
We would like to thank this customer for shopping with us and we appreciate her feedback about the return policy. Our homepage says “free shipping + free exchanges” and the entire policy is listed under the Returns section of our Help page. The new policy went into effect on August 1,2015, and all purchases made on August 1,2015 or after are subject to our new return policy. Our policy enables our customers to choose from any items in our inventory until we find an item they’ll love – more than a million items – whether that’s a different shoe or perhaps a bag or coat. In the event they prefer not to exchange for a new item, there is a restocking fee. We want to assure this customer that our decision to not waive the restocking fees on her order was made carefully and in accordance with our guidelines. We understand that this customer is disappointed with our policy, and we do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Should she opt to exchange, we’re happy to help her find new styles or items to try.
It seems like other people had difficulty with returning items. I guess I just never had this problem, because I liked the items I bought. I am really into nine west. I was able to get three shoes that were cheaper on this site than anywhere else. They didn't take long to arrive, and I was really happy with them. I feel that this site has a great selection of items at a good price.
I've only ordered one pair of shoes from here because of their 15% discount at the time for first time purchases. I ended up returning the pair, but I had no problems receiving it and shipping it back as well as receiving the money back. I think Zappos and Endless might have more selection and trendy shoes, but they've got a fair selection too - although as others have mentioned, sometimes their prices are high comparatively.
This is the worst online company that I've ever dealt with. I look for shoes in my size, and place the order. Several days later, my order is cancelled with no explanation. I've made numerous attempts to contact them, and I get absolutely no response. Read their reviews here, and you'll know to stay away from shoes.com.
This site and this company sucks, big time. Ordered the same pair of shoes 3 times. The first 2 times my account was credited back the purchase price WITHOUT EXPLANATION. The third time it seems to be going through, however, only time will tell. Their customer service phone line has been terminated and the recorded message asks that you send an e-mail. Did that twice, no response to either. Not a good business model and I doubt that I will use this company again. Life's too short to have to deal with a low rated company and the frustrations they create.
My friend Mrs. Lucky was the one who introduced me this site and has she said I can also testify that goods here are very affordable not only that they are of good quality and don't pile off. I enjoyed the site
The company sent me the wrong shoes and then would not do anything to reimburse me for my inconvenience of returning shoes back to the company. Unbelievable. I have worked with other vendors before who had provided a discount/promotion code for the customer's inconvenience since it was their fault. They really did not care.
The shoes arrived in a dirty dusty shoebox with no padding to keep it from shaking around inside the outer box. The store has limited selection/sizes, yet if you need to get a different size there is a re-stocking fee unless I exchange it. How can I exchange it when you don't have other sizes in stock? Clerk was indifferent. I asked to speak with a manager but was put on indefinite hold. If I don't accept the other shipment that hasn't arrived yet, in case they don't fit either, probably they'll charge re-stocking fee either way. No mention of re-stocking fee that I saw when buying. I will not be back. Ever.
We would like to thank this customer for their business and are sorry about the experience they have had to this point. Our return/exchange policy allows a customer to exchange for any item on our site and we allow 60 days for a customer to return an item. This means they can wait to see if a certain size and style comes back in stock or pick from over 1400 different brands until they find the perfect item. We understand that this customer is disappointed with our policy, and we do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Should they opt to exchange, we’re happy to help them find new styles or items to try.
I ordered a couple pairs of shoes. Returned & placed an 'Exchange' order. Their website was 'down' when I needed to return them for an Exchange. It recommended ordering the new pair then sending an email with a statement that my order was for an exchange (which I did). They sent me an email upon receipt of the returned pair stating they were charging me a 'return fee'. I was never able to get them to show them as an Exchange - never could get through on the phone (would get disconnected after about 30 minutes). So... I ended up getting charged the return fee instead of them designating my order as an Exchange. Their site does not show updated 'Order History'. I will never order from them again.
Item I received was wrong color. I'm going to return it for the correct color. I don't
Recommend dealing with this company. Very long wait time on the phone and I simply
Would not deal with them again.
We are very disappointed to hear that this customer did not receive the correct color. We hope this customer has reached out to our customer service department so that they can be working on issuing a full refund or an exchange for the correct item. We would like to assure the customer that errors like this are uncommon and ShoeBuy would love a chance to help resolve this issue!
I have bought from Shoebuy twice, both times for FRYE handbags, which were about $100 cheaper than other sites with coupon codes.
Shipping was fast on both, I received my package within 4 business days both times.
I kept one bag and returned one, was refunded same day they received my return for the bag I sent back.
I love Shoebuy, have had only great experiences with them and will be back.
We would like to thank this customer for their kind words about our company! We always strive for customer service excellence and LOVE hearing that we have achieved it! We are grateful for customers like Stephanie D. And will continue to work hard to provide all of our customer the high standard of service that they have come to expect from us.
I didn't pick this site other that it popped up first so your response is a little weak if anything, I did reorder and your company didn't stand behind the product maybe you should look at the thought's of all the reviews and maybe revise some of the policy's instead of being a parrot for a crooked company like shoe buy
We would like to thank the customer for their feedback regarding our return. We regret hearing that he was disappointed in our return/exchange policy.
We offer free shipping and free exchanges because we understand that finding the right item can be difficult and we want our customers to find their perfect match.
If our customers do not wish to exchange, we try to make returns as easy as possible as well. However, if the customer is only returning an item, then we do charge a $6.95 restocking fee.
This policy is listed clearly on our website and can be found by clicking the big "HELP" button on the top right of our page.
Again, we apologize for any disappointment caused by our return policy.
I have been ordering from Shoebuy for years and now they wan $6.95 to return each pair (even if they came in the same order) Stay away from them - they shoulld be upfront with the cost of returning but instead it's in fine print thru 3 screens on their web page. BAD customer service
Hello Deb -- Thank you for your feedback. Our policy now focuses on free exchanges because we’re certain we can find the right match for you – whether that’s a different size, color or completely different item altogether. We’d like to see if we might be able to assist you. Could you please send an email to socialsupport@shoebuy.com with your order number? Thank you.
I will be returning the item I bought (Order # *******) because it was uncomfortable and not at all what I was expecting. More than that though, I am appalled at how uncustomer-friendly their returns process is. I dare say, ShoeBuy must derive a great deal of it's profits from the hefty $6.95 "restocking" fee associated with returns. This, incidentally, is why people often fear buying shoes online-- because policies such as this make trying new products risky financially. I know I certainly have never encountered such a roadblock with Zappos, Amazon, or any of their other competitors. No deal is worth anything if the product is unsatisfactory. And even if I were to take the only other route possible and exchange the shoes, I feel I would simply be roped into buying a second product that I, again, cannot return should it too prove unsatisfactory.
Terrible experience, I will NEVER shop here again!
We are very sorry to hear that this customer was surprised by our restocking fee. The fee has been listed in our return policy since July of 2015 and is on our website in 2 places during checkout in an effort to make our customers aware of the return policy before they place an order. Unfortunately, we are not able to waive fee's for returns but we do have a completely free exchange policy. Exchanges can be made for anything on our website, at no cost. With over 60,000 unique item, we are sure we can find the right match for anyone; and you can keep exchanging until you find that perfect fit! If a customer prefers to return, we are happy to help make that an easy experience as well.
I called to check on an order of shoes I placed 3 days ago. Customer service rep distracted, snippy, and for some reason hard to understand despite not having an accent. Can best be described as talking so rapidly & muttering - or maybe she doesn't want to be pinned down on how long the order can take. I asked her to repeat herself 3 times & still have no idea the time frame to expect.
She did say "Well we just got that order." It was placed on the first of february, hasn't shipped yet and it's the 4th today. Had I been able to find that pair of shoes on Zappos - they would be at my house right now, not sitting in your warehouse across the country. Never again.
Answer: Apparently they do not care. Not a real good omen for staying in business very long.
Answer: Stay away! I tried to make an exchange, and they charged me for the new shoes and then claimed that returned shoes were worn and damaged and wouldn't give me my money back. I wore them long enough to try them on and even then the shoes were so small and stiff that I couldn't get my feet into them! I asked the customer service "manager" (the 4th "manager" I spoke to) if we are allowed to try on the shoes and shes said "yes of course" to which I said then why do you consider what I did wearing them? She didn't have an answer. This is a scam to sell off damaged or defective merchandise. Stay away.
