      Ordered a pair of Low Tigger sneakers on 2/22/25 and received a confirmation email for Order #****** and never received the sneakers that I paid for. Have a new order out #****** and the same thing is happening where I receive a confirmation of the order but then zero order status or delivery update. I have ordered from Oliver Cabell in the past and have had no problem it was only starting this year but would like to know what's going on.

      The Low 1 | Tigger is a presale style set to be shipped in May. The customer may request for updates or the cancelation of the order via live chat available on our website or customer support email.

      Placed an order thru online store of Oliver Cabell on December 5, 2024. When I placed the order, the sneakers were in stock. I made the payment and then after that, I received a confirmation that my order had been placed, but when I did not receive my order, I asked for an update and they stated that the sneakers were out of stock. On December 19, 2024, I placed an order for another pair of sneakers because the original ones I wanted were no longer available. It is now February 27 and I have yet to receive the sneakers. When I reach out to them and ask for updates, they do reply and state that theyre still working on the order. At this point, Im not sure what to do.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      [Your Answer Here]

      Yes, I did receive my order on March 7, 2025, which I appreciate.  But, why should they be off the hook just because they finally made the delivery.

      To reiterate, I made my original order on December 5th to which I received an email stating that my order was confirmed. My credit card was charged and I was awaiting information on a delivery date as this was a xmas present. 

      It was not until I reached out to them to check on the status of my order, did they make me aware that my order was on back order.  If there was no stock on this item, why was I not notified immediately upon placing my order.  Why was my credit card charged on a back stock item?   Regardless, I selected another pair of sneakers hoping, I would get them sooner.  That was not to be the case. I ordered a new pair of sneakers on December 19th and I constantly had to check in with them.  I want other customers to be aware that their order might take longer than they think and also communications with company are strictly via email as there is no number to call.  I have learned my ****** as far as ordering from these so called instagram stores. Never again.  I just want others to be aware of my negative experience.

      I filed a complaint already and this still has not been resolved. We purchased shoes, they were sent to us, we returned them the next day which is now weeks ago and still have no refund. The ** of customer success has stopped responding to emails. This has been the biggest headache trying to get our money back from shoes that we shipped back within one day of receipt. No one responds. No one helps. They just disappear. We just want a refund for the shoes we returned.

      Business Response

      Date: 01/22/2025

      The item the customer returned ******** was a replacement for their original order (******), which has an open chargeback. ******* takes away our ability to refund any order that has an open case/associated dispute, as to why nothing has been processed from our end. As mentioned in the previous response, in order for us to process it from our end, the chargeback has to be canceled. If not, the ** may continue communicating with their bank in regards to obtaining them.

      I ordered shoes and retuned them. On 12/11/24, I get a email that my refund has been processed for $248.95. Instead - 20 cents was credited. I reach out via email. *** says: Thanks for checking in! We've received your returned order and we've gone ahead and issued the gift card. No. I reply that I want a refund. *** then offers an exchange. I say no. I want a refund! She then replies and says that part has been applied as store credit and part refunded (TWENTY CENTS). I reply / I want a full refund. Then *** emails that I have a store credit for $207.11. They keep refusing to refund my card. Instead - keep issuing a gift card. Then a week later - 20 cents was refunded to my card.

      Business Response

      Date: 12/27/2024

      The refund has already been processed as of 12/24/24. The reason they initially got sent a gift card was because that was the option they chose upon creating the return request themselves. The refund was eventually processed when they followed up they actually wanted a refund.

      I placed an order on 8/30/24 for a pair of shoes. The original shipping estimate for the shoes was 8 days. I received no emails saying the item would be delayed. I reached out to Oliver Cabell support via email, and received a response claiming the item was a pre-sell item, therefore wouldnt ship until the style dropped? The exact shoe is available thru other retailers for purchase, so it obviously is an item that has already been mass produced. I still have not received my item, nor received any further updates from Oliver Cabell. I wish I would have known about others similar experiences, and checked the BBB reviews and complaints before placing an order with this company. Buyers beware!

      Business Response

      Date: 09/27/2024

      Items go on presale on the online store regardless of whether it has been released before or not as we our factory is not based the ***, although our logistics company is. The ship date provided is the estimate of when they will arrive and start getting shipped to customers. The customer did not respond to the latest email when they were told of the ship date, nor have they specifically requested to cancel the order. There is now an outstanding chargeback, which means we can no longer refund the item from our end unless it gets canceled. In order to obtain the refund, it would be best for the customer to reach out to their bank.

      I purchased sneakers through olivercabell.com on May 8 2024. They charged my credit card $203. Several weeks later, I inquired about delivery and was told to expect the shoes in June. Countless emails back and forth, a false claim of a "partial refund" (never received) and I still have no sneakers on August 7, 2024. It was described as a shipping delay then an issue with materials. Either way - 12 weeks after the fact, I have no shoes and they have been terrible communicating around this issue. There is no phone number assoeciated with their account and they simply reply 'Sorry - we're working on it" or another subpar response.

      Business Response

      Date: 08/09/2024

      This order was originally supposed to be shipped in mid-to-late June but, unfortunately, circumstances beyond our control, such as cargo issues and production delays happened as to why the order still has not shipped yet. We have received the ** containing this style recently, and the customer's order is expected to ship by next week.

      - On 3/19/24 I ordered a pair of low 1 belmont shoes online from Oliver cabbells website for $257.04 - on 3/20 I received an email saying thank you for your pre-order (they didnt make it 100% clear that this was a pre-order vs an order) and when I asked when it would ship they said early April and that I would be on a priority list - 4/1 I emailed these ship yet and 4/2 received a response of sometime in the month of April- 4/9 I emailed again for an update and 4/10 received a response saying May and was told they had a supply shortage with raw materials (never was mentioned prior) and my order wasnt one of the shipped orders; $30 credited back; I asked specifically for info on shortage time, if they have another supplier and received no further info - 5/1 asked if it shipped; nothing - 5/2 emailed again; nothing - 5/15 emailed again; nothing - 5/22 emailed again; nothing - 5/24 broad Oliver Cabell blasted to prospective customers saying theyre being crafted and shipped soon; I tell them I may need to report them to BBB the way things are going; ***************************** responds saying the Red Sea crisis (which was in 2023) was the reason for the delay so the cargo shipment needs to be re-routed so itll be a June shipment to me; [shoe] is made and is already in transit, 101%. However, I just checked for newer updates and it seems that it may actually not arrive until late June to early July; they price matched to current discounted price - 6/18 broad email saying customs clearance delay; ***** side email says theyve been released by customs and will be shipped within 2 weeks - 6/27 I ask if they shipped - 6/28 timeline changed to mid to late July per *****; I ask for clear evidence of what is going on and get no answer - this company is lying and stealing customers money without fulfilling orders. They should be investigated to see how many other people theyre scamming and lying to. Horrible ESG and people in general

      Business Response

      Date: 07/05/2024

      We sincerely apologize for the multiple delays for this specific style. The delays have proven to be a challenge but we assure all our customers that the orders are legitimate and real, and that the customer is on our priority list to ensure they're the first to receive the item once our PO arrives. The customer may cancel if they wish, and we will refund them in full, or if they'd like they can also switch to a different style that is in stock and ready to ship.

      I purchased a pair of shoes in February that was listed as a pre-order that would be delivered by April (now in retrospect suspiciously outside the 60-day window for easy disputes on my credit card). All through February, March, and April the merchant sent me updates assuring me delivery in April. Once the 60-day window had passed they merchant stopped sending updates and did not respond to my inquiries including a request for a refund.

      Business Response

      Date: 05/29/2024

      There was an unfortunate delay in receiving the **** that contains this style, but the order has now been delivered to the customer as of 25th of May 2024. The response to the cx's chargeback has also been submitted. The customer must now continue working with their bank regarding the refund.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 05/29/2024

       Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me, and me alone.  I did in fact finally receive the shoes, which did not get shipped until *after* I filed the complaint.  Other customers might not be so lucky to realize this is an option, and frankly, shouldn't have to.    I think it's worth noting that there was a 10-day window where the business did not respond to my inquiries directly to them, and it was *only* because I elevated my case to the BBB, that the company decided to suddenly fill the order.  For that reason, I feel that the company at most gets upgraded to a two-star rating instead of my original one star.

      Thanks,

      ********************.

      On 2/26/24, I ordered a pair of black Monti loafers, order #******, and paid $161.39. When the shipment arrived on 3/2/24, I didn't open the box for awhile because I had purchased the shoes for a particular trip I was taking. When I finally did open the box, I realized they had sent me a completely different pair of shoes. The shoes they sent me are metallic silver sneakers. On April 10, I tried to chat with a customer service representative on the ******************** website, as there is no phone number, and I didn't hear back from anyone for hours. When someone finally did respond, they said that because it was past their 30 day return policy, I couldn't return the shoes. But, because they never delivered on their end, by delivering the actual shoes I ordered, I believe that the agreement is null. I have emailed them several times since I initially reached out asking that they send me a return label and they have not responded at all. I think it is unacceptable that they expect me to pay for a pair of shoes that I didn't order. It's fraudulent. I want to receive a return label from them so that I can return the shoes they sent, and I want a full refund.Thank you so much for your help with this!

      Business Response

      Since this issue was reported past the 30-day return window, we can no longer ***** a refund. Our return policy is available on our shipping and returns page and can be read by all potential customers. One of our agents have asked for photos for confirmation on the 15th of April, but the customer only managed to do so on the 27th. Despite also being past the 60-day warranty, we are allowing the customer to return the item back for an exchange as a one-time exception.

      I ordered a pair of shoes from this company. The shoes were fully refundable as long as they werent worn. I received the shoes. I wore them around my house for a few hours, and then realized they didnt fit and returned to them. I paid Shipping for return. I received confirmation that they were received. And then I was told that they were considered damaged and I was not getting a refund nor was I getting the shoes back. Its been four weeks. I have never worn those shoes outside of the home they were on my feet for a total of one hour and never left the house. They refuse to elevate the situation to any kind of manager. There is no phone number to contact this company. I have reached out in numerous ways via email and social media. Their customer service people say they are waiting for a picture of the shoes. I dont even know if it would be a picture of the actual shoes I returned. Its been over a week since they said they were waiting on a picture.I called the physical store in ************* and spoke to someone there and they said this frequently happens and they are called constantly about complaints from the online service. No one can ever get in touch with them. There is no phone number.I reached out to the founder via LinkedIn and never heard back. This place is a total scam! Thank you so much for your help. I have dozens of emails in which we are going back-and-forth discussing next steps on getting my refund.

      Business Response

      Date: 03/15/2024

      The order returned has been marked as "damaged" as it appears to have already been worn. Our return policywhich is available to read via our websiteclearly states we can only accept returns for refund if items are unworn, undamaged, in re-sellable condition. We have obtained photos of the shoes from our team, and although they still have obviously been worn, we are going to allow a refund a one-time courtesy as the dirt/scuff can still be fixed by our team.
