“I cannot be happier with purchase!”

Sara W.

I did some research and saw Zumiez had a review score of just 2.92! That's wild because my experience was beyond 5 stars! Not only did it take only 2 days to ship, my shoes look amazing and they included a personal note on the order sheet! Zumiez in my experience was fantastic! I'm 39 years old and I will never stop wearing skate shoes. Also, the ones I purchased were half the cost of every other online store. I love Zumiez! Will purchase again in the future!

I bought red bone barrings online for $28. What a scam. I was so excited when my package arrived. I just turned 15 and bought that crap with the little money I had because I have not been able to replace my bearings. All of them literally broke and I can not explain how bc idk how and now there all broke I have no new bearings just my old ones, and parts of the bearings are also stuck in my new wheels I just bought from there for $30! I'm done buying from here, I loved this place but not anymore y'all screwed me over.

Tip for consumers:
I have had the best online shopping experience with Zumiez!! Not sure why their rating is so low. Got my order in less than 2 days with a personalized message on the order sheet. I am beyond happy with my experience!!

My encounter with Zumiez was a complete letdown. After placing an order, I received a shipping confirmation but no updates. After a week, I contacted customer care and began a frustrating back-and-forth. They promised to reship, created a label, but the package wasn't picked up. After multiple rounds of contact, they finally reshipped without an apology. The entire process took 20 days! Poor service and lack of accountability. I strongly caution against shopping with Zumiez due to their incompetent customer service.

My package was delivered to the store instead of my home. I contacted the store today being December 22nd because I was not notified they had my items since Dec 13th. I spoke with Marcus and then Kate the manager at the Marlborough Ma. Store. Kate apologized. She then spoke with upper management and they agreed to overnight my pkg to me.
I did not receive my pkg in time for Christmas. If only I was notified on December 13th it could have been resolved long before Christmas day.
Btw E for express is not the same as overnight.

My son loves Zumiez so we will continue to shop there.

Ordered online 2 separate times this January, qualified for free 3-7 day shipping, was offered to upgrade shipping 1-3 days for $, went with free basic, got the stuff in 3 days both times, love the globe fusion and Sabre shoes as I always do. Chino pants are super comfy (wish they had 33 waist). Had personal hand written well wishes on each invoice. Overall, I have no complaints at all.

Tip for consumers:
Search the bogo 50 percent off sales first. Use the filter for you size, style or brand. It’s nice to get lucky and find some : buy one get one free deals randomly.

Bought a gift less rain 2 weeks ago, merchandise has never been used, still has tags, and original receipt. Store manager refused to give full refund. Only offered partial refund of item being on sale though I had a receipt showing full price. Left with my merchandise & receipt. Tried calling customer service twice with being on hold for over 30 min. Each time. Will never purchase from Zumiez again. Worst customer service ever!

When I opened my box I noticed a rip in the right sleeve jacket. I wouldn't recommend getting anything online and only in the store to make sure you are paying for what you get amd not something cheap

I'm with the military and live overseas. I have an APO address BUT, it goes through a service center in the US so its domestic shipping. My order qualified for FREE shipping, but once it read that I had an APO address it wanted to charge $16 for shipping. I called the service center and was told they don't honor free shipping for APO/FPO addresses, so i just removed an item and my bill was $47 but shipping made it a $63 order. What makes me angry is that it doesn't cost them extra to ship it there because it's still domestic. I am disgusted by this money grab at the people who serve our country. Absolutely horrible, DO NOT SHOP THERE!

Nadat ik een bestelling annuleerde, kreeg ik te horen dat de bestelling al verzonden was en niet meer teruggedraaid kon worden, waarop ik het bij aflevering heb geweigerd. Ik laat het Zumiez weten en vraag om refund. Nadat ik weken aan het lijntje gehouden ben, krijg ik vandaag onderstaande informatie van Zumiez. En bedankt, weg geld.

By completing your order you agree to pay all applicable fees. If your order is refused upon delivery, it will not be returned to Zumiez and no refund will be processed.

So let me explain. I ordered from their site some sandals a month ago and the tracking never updated, so I wrote them to check whats going on. Never heard anything from them. Then I wrote a mail to DHL to check if they have messed up my order, but they told me that Zumiez never handed over my package to them. Tried to contact their customer service 3 times now but never heard back from them..

I placed an order to purchase a hat. They offered me to purchase a second item so I could get 50% rebate and save the shipping fees. I placed my order. Total cost 74.66 (about $37 each item). The next day, I received an email indicating one item was back order and therefore they were going to refund. They removed the 50% and they charged me the shipping fees and returned $10. I asked to cancel my order immediately and in response they said it too late. This is a scam. Their sale practices are bad. Don't go there. It seems I am not first victim...

Love shopping here there's always really good deals like buy one get one 50% off and huge discounts on last season models and wear. Love that they have smaller unknown company decks at different stores and a lot of sick stickers which is the best. And ways to get points to get free stuff on the Zumiez Stash app too!

I ordered a pair of broken promises roller skates. I was sent two LEFT feet. The box was extremely EXTREMELY terribly packaged in a huge box and mangled when it got here, which I could have dealt with fine. But once I saw there was two left feet I tried to contact customer service, no answer for an entire hour. Their customer service is nonexistent. So I ended up having to call my local zumiez, they were very very helpful in getting me a new pair, however the design I wanted was completely sold out so that was extremely extremely disappointing especially for the price I got them for. All I'm trying to do in this review is save someone else the hassle of this, especially since I don't have a vehicle myself and I had to take expensive Lyfts down to zumiez. Please just go into zumiez if there's one near you, the people are helpful and you can try things on to make sure they're properly made and packaged. Their online service is the worst customer service I think I have ever recieved. As you can see in the photos aswell, only one skate had a bag around it. They also threw about a million stickers in there so I believe they knew something in the order was wrong. This was just supposed to be a Christmas present to myself so it just sucks that it had to turn out this way. Luka the manager at Arden fair was very helpful though.

We bought our niece her first pro deck for her 13th birthday and the experience was phenomenal. Not only was the staff personable and friendly but they extremely knowledgeable! They believed in the products they were selling. Good customer service is a hard thing to come by anymore, the Zumiez team in Millard NE's Oakview Mall is one the reasons we still like to buy our sweet gear in person. Kudo's guys, you rock. You helped make this day unforgettable. We will be back.

Don't ship if at all possible. They are fast at shipping but my original order had the full address. When the receipt was sent it did not. We had to chase down the items left elsewhere by FedEx due to address differences. Of course the company tried to pass the blame but I have screenshots of the original and the receipt they emailed. They were at fault.

Tip for consumers:
Double check your order against the emailed receipt and make sure they put the correct and full address in. Screenshot both if possible. And ask for recipients signature upon receiving.

I was interested in buying off the zumiez site and found a dope jacket that I ended up ordering as a size M. Then fast forward 5 days later to see tracking status and check where it's at, but only saw blank with no progress. I got concerned and looked up reviews about the website, which I should've done earlier but anyway, most reviews sounded terrible and made the website sound bad overall that made me a bit overwhelmed about the purchase until an hour later same day next thing you know a package arrives with the jacket and size on point:)
And the shipping time took from April 28 -May 3 which is great compared to some reviews hearing that there packages take a month or some never arriving. Hope someone takes my word and gains from this as trust

Sends out emails claiming items are up to 75% off, but I looked through all of clearance and could not find a single thing even close to 50% off! Prices are extremely high to begin with. You might get $5.00 off if you are lucky. Some only have $1.00 off!

When I get an email from zumies.com, it will say "sale, up to 85% off". There is nothing close to even 50% off. Most things are $15-$20 off, and its more like you are paying 85% of the regular price. Whats up with that?

I'm really happy about my last purchase. It arrives safe and sound and the skateboard deck is in perfect condition, no tear at all on the shrink wrap.
In the first place, i was not very confident to order at that store after reading reviews and bad comments about Zumiez on internet.
I tried and i'm satisfied!
Customer service in this time of Corona virus is not so bad after all. Better call them instead of waiting for a response by email. It's faster.
Fast delivery for a free shipping thing:)
Will do business with Zumiez again if i have to!

Ordered a t-shirt on the 10th of December. Immediately after my purchase, I got an email that my order was shipped. Today, almost 4 weeks later, the status of my order remained the same. The package is still in Kenner, LA, and wasn't even shipped, the liars! I called DHL customer service, the -very friendly- lady on the phone told me that the order was never even ready for shipping and she recommended me to reclaim my money. I already tried to contact Zumiez by filling in the support-form 2 times, to get 2 times the same automatic generated email... I'm deeply disappointed. Online shopping is the only way to buy things these days, but experiencing an event like this, makes it very suspicious.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't. Be aware of the negative reviews, they are truthful and it's unfortunate that an innocent order brings so much hassle.

I'm not able to answer this question because the problem is that I haven't received my order yet.
