ComplaintsforPupSocks
Current Alerts For This Business
According to information in BBB files, PupSocks has a pattern of complaint alleging Delivery Issues and Refund Issues.
Consumers allege PupSocks advertises on social media platforms and on its website (GoPupSocks.com) enticing consumers to place orders for socks with custom prints.
Consumers are instructed to snap a photo or find a picture on social media that they'd like printed on their custom socks and upload the photo to the PupSocks website.
Consumers indicate once the order is placed, there is an expected 10 to 14 day turnaround time to receive the product; however, many consumers indicate several weeks, and sometimes months, pass without delivery of the socks.
Others allege delivery never occurred, some indicate products received were not as ordered, and many indicate PupSocks failed to issue refunds.
On December 17, 2021, BBB contacted Pupsocks to seek their voluntary cooperation in eliminating the pattern of complaint; however, PupSocks failed to respond to BBB's request. This aspect of the Business Profile will be updated once additional information becomes available.

I uploaded and ordered 2 pairs of socks for my husband from Pupsocks. When I received them in the mail they were not our dogs. I have reached out to them multiple times via their website and support with no real response. Only an automated message. The socks were $50 with shipping and I would like my correct order and to return the ones that do not belong to us.Business response

Ordered a mask and socks and they gave me 1 tracking number. The mask arrived yesterday, but there were no socks. When checking my account, it shows delivered, but I only received half my order. I have emailed and received a generic response that someone would get back with me in a few hours. Its the next day and still no response. This was ordered for a birthday gift that I now won't be able to give. Its a shame they steal people's money and get away with it.Business response

I received the socks with someone else's pet's pictures on them. After repeated email attempts, no chat function, and no phone number, I am not able to get a refund. No one will respond and the email give sends a "undelivered" error.The order was placed on November 14th with numerous contact attempts, as instructed on their website. [Order #*******] . Total was ***** including shipping charged to my credit card.At this point, it is too late to get correct socks. I just want a full refund including shipping. What kind of company does not provide means to contact them? There is simply no customer service existing at this company.Business response

I placed an order on 11-11-21 , order number #*******. When I received my order on 11-29-21 it is obviously not my order. The order number on the socks is #****** which is not my order. I have sent numerous emails to try and get this problem corrected as it is supposed to be a Christmas present for my wife and I have not gotten any response from this company. Them not having a phone number to call for customer service is ridiculous and aggravating. I wish I had researched this company before ordering from them because this is an common problem from what I'm reading I would like a resolution in this matter. I have attached photos of my order and the incorrect socks I received .Business response

On 11/13/2021, I saw an advertisement on Instagram for gopupsocks.com and clicked the link to submit an order for socks with my 2 dogs pictured. My order # was *******. I received a confirmation from the company and an email informing me that it would take approximately ***** business days to receive my order. I then received a notice on 11/14 that my order was in production. On 11/20, my order status had not been revised but I was getting a lot of unusual marketing emails encouraging me to buy more socks. One raised red flags because it was masked as an error by a company intern...long story short, I reached out to the company using their online form and inquired about my order. On 11/23 I received a response from "Shae" that said they were delayed due to "quality concerns" and an apology. He offered to either reduce the price by 15% if I wanted to wait additional days or I could click a provided link that would take me to a cancelation page.I clicked to cancel, since there was no earthly way my product would arrive within the original timeframe at this point. The cancelation page stated at the top that they would deduct $9 from any and all cancelations made more than 3 hours after order placement. I wrote back to "Shae" explaining that I don't want to pay a $9 fee for their production error. I am currently waiting to hear back. As it took 3 business days last time to get a response, I decided to check their BBB page. Lo and behold, I am one of many with the same problem. I kindly request that PupSocks expedite the refund process for my order. It makes me very uncomfortable that it is so hard to contact them and to get timely orders/responses, and I'm actually wondering if they even produce socks or if they create social media interest and wait for people to request refunds so they can collect fees on that basis. I'm concerned this may be a scam.Business response
