I received a pair of shoes I ordered and they arrived with the N on the shoe peeling off. Reached out to customer service and was told that I could return the shoes for a refund, which is great, except they were on sale when ordered and they will not exchange the shoes for a price match. I will need to reorder and pay a higher price, when it was clearly their error in sending shoes that were defective.Business response

I ordered a pair of shoes on their website on 11/22/2022. They sent me the shipping confirmation via *** and the tracking number. However, despite the package being shown as delivered, never reached my place. I am trying to call Joe's new balance for 5 times now, but they just keep their phone on an automated tune just to hang up. Very poor customer support and products which never reach you. Total scam!Business response

this company is not the same brand as New Balance, it is a fake company name that infringes the New Balance Brand and Network. They are not the same as New Balance Outlet. All the order placed in the website cant be cancelled after 8 hours, all items returned will have no free shipping. The business owner uses smaller words for return terms and conditions for the return policy and fakes all the customers.Business response

I placed an order yesterday 11/16. I know that I selected a size 8. However upon checking my receipt it states they are sending me a size 7b. I tried calling, texting and emailing and all I've been told is that it's too late to change the order. I would just like the size 8 that I need or a refund so I dont get the wrong size that they are sending. I shouldnt have to deal with their returns process just due to an incorrect sizeBusiness response

Contacted customer apologized we are unable to make any changes to an order after 1 hour of an order being placed. This is due to the order automation in the warehouse. Advised she could refuse the order or I could send her a return label. Customer advised she will refuse the order. I advised if she needs additional assistance to return the order to contact me directly for assistance. I advised I would close out the complaint. Customer agreed with the resolution.Customer response

Customer not satisfied with system limitation which prevents her order from being altered. She will need to refuse the package at delivery or contact me directly, print a return label off **************, or contact me directly to get a return label emailed to her. If the customer would like the shoe in her correct size a new order will need to be placed. These are the only options available to resolve this matter.Initial Complaint

I have purchased from Joe's New Balance for years and always had good results. However, I placed an order on October 12th for 96.28. It stated the order shipped on the 13th and that it arrived on the 18th. I still have not received the items and it was not delivered to a neighbor, etc by accident. I tried calling and texting the customer support number and cannot reach anyone. It puts you on hold and then drops the call. I have tried multiple times, waiting up to 17 minutes, just to be hung up on. It is the 26th and still no response or resolution. I'd be happy with a refund and I would just place a new order. Not being able to reach a real customer service rep makes me concerned about their validity as a shop.Business response

On 10/13/2022 I ordered a pair of New Balance 520 v7. Order **********. Recieved the shoes and they are so tight you cannot even lace them up. I have another pair of this same exact shoe in a different color that i purchased from Famous Footwear so i know how they fit. Either these shoes are a rejected/made wrong size or they are not Authentic New Balance shoes. Called customer service and they want me to pay for return shipping which will be about half of what i paid for the shoes.Business response

I bought a pair of shoes that I need to make an exchange on because they ran small. When I called the customer service and explained that all I wanted was to exchange them for a bigger size I was told that I would have to pay for shipping and to reorder the shoe.At that point I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that someone will be in contact with me in 5 days. I was instructed on how to return the shoe, so when I’m looking for the same shoe to at least get a replacement started I noticed that this shoe is no longer the same price that I originally paid, it is about $15 more not including shipping. All I want is to exchange the shoe for a larger size.Business response
