I bought a pair of shoes from 511 tactical about a month ago. The shoes have already started to fall apart under normal wear. They will not answer phones, emails or call back when you leave a number. Just tired of these companies taking advantage of everyone and having false reviews on how durable their products are. The shoes are garbageBusiness response

Hi ************,
I am sorry to learn that the ****** Sneaker did not work out for you. We stand behind our products and although would love to send you another pair, have created RA-******* for a refund of $53.49. We are also providing a *** return label (attached) which you can use to send back the shoes. Once we receive the return, please allow us a few days to process the refund back on your card ending in ****. Lastly, I apologize that you were not able to reach our customer service team. We have recently changed our phone system and had a day or two where we experienced issues, luckily, our chat and email services were still running.
Regards,

I purchase a pair of taclite pants online, then after the fact a representative added a discount code to my purchase giving me 20% off. This initial purchase was $52.72, now I am being charged a second fee of $46.76. I also contacted a representative days ago to cancel the order as they had the correct size in store, the representative stated the cancellation was completed and I would receive my refund within 3-5 business days. I now received an email from a new representative stating, my order can not be cancelled because it has been shipped; however the website states my order has been cancelled. So not only am I being bounced around on if the order is cancelled or not according to the website and representative that emailed me, I am now being double charged for the same order that was cancelled days ago.Business response

Hi Destiny,
The amounts that you referenced are authorizations. Once an order has released to our ******************* we are unable to make changes to it. The *** you spoke with submitted a request to our ******************* to see if we can cancel the order, however, it was unsuccessful as your order *********** shipped.
As we do not charge for items until they ship, we settled against the $46.86 authorization earlier today. The *** tracking number is 1ZRV90090333522351 and according to ***'s site your order was delivered today. Please enjoy the extra pair of pants on us as we have issued a refund in the amount of $46.86 today. Please allow 3-5 business days for this credit to post to your account. Proof of refund has been attached for reference.

A few weeks ago I went to the local **** store (******************************************************) and purchased a **** ******** Flag patch (https://www.511tactical.com/***-patch.html?queryID=532e7626aa53c16e40517a4242a069db&objectID=144641&indexName=magento2_productiondefault_products). I was going to put it on a **** backpack I was going to order but decided to go with a different backpack and I decided to return the patch. I went to the store today (12-6-2021) to return the patch, still in the plastic envelope and with the receipt, and the **** employee told me that **** does not allow for the return of patches and it is a company policy. He then proceeded to try and show me where it is stated on the receipt, was unable to do so, and then began grumbling and processed the return. I called the **** customer service department on the way home and they stated that **** does NOT have a policy against returning patches, especially if you have the receipt and the original container. My transaction number is 9035-9035-01-29628 and the receipt states the employee number is EMP-*******.Business response

Hi *****,
I apologize for the conflicting information and am glad you were able to return the patch for a refund. I have forwarded this information to the store manager for further training.
We regret any frustration that this may have caused and appreciate your business.

I made an order on October 2, order number ***********, because I paid with PayPal I qualified for this cool expedited shipping which specifically went for because I needed these clothes for a new job. Three days later and they havent even processed my order yet. They took the money but didnt send the product, or even process the order. I called customer service. The women was extremely kind but could not produce a valid reason for why my order was not processed, nor could she process it herself. Amazon has the same clothes on prime 2 day shipping. If I cancel the order now itll be 5-7 business days before I see a refund, plus another 2 days to ship via prime. Thats unacceptable. You took the money, now ship the product. You cant keep blaming covid for your slow staff. Covid has been here for over a year, it should have no effect on how you fold pants, box them, and drop them off at the post office. Id like my order to be processed and shipped ASAP.Business response

Hi ********,
I have reviewed your order, *********** and show that the method of shipping is *** SurePost which is not an expedited shipping method. As we are following CAL-OSHA and CDC guidelines we are still experiencing delays in shipping as stated on the banner on our website as well as having trouble filling open positions in our ******************** I reached out to our ******************* this morning and requested to upgrade your order to *** 2nd day air. I received confirmation just now that we were able to get it out today via *** 1ZRV90090229957535.
Sorry for any frustration that this has caused and we sincerely appreciate your business.

Hi Justin,
I have reviewed your order, *********** and show that it was placed on 8/24 and shipped out 8/25. According to UPS tracking number ******************, your package is scheduled for delivery on 9/1. As stated on the top banner for all pages on our website:Due to increased volume and the impact of COVID-19, we are experiencing delays in processing and shipping. Thank you for your patience as we fulfill orders as quickly and safely as possible. As such we are not able to offer expedited shipping. The CSRs that you spoke with worked with our distribution center to prioritize your order and have it shipped ASAP.
I am happy that we were able to get your package out and that its estimated to be delivered before the 2nd.
