4/18. I received Order Confirmation and the immediate received Cancellation Norice due to billing issues. 4/19. I called ************ Order ****************** I answered all the questions about my different addresses and was told the notes explained everything- try placing the order again.4/21. Placed order again Conf 112-1714809-3557853 and immediately received Order Cancellation Notice due to billing issues. Set up an account after I was told this would solve the issue, which was that the ship to address was different from the billing address. Placed order AGAIN with confidence it would go through. Immediately received yet another cancellation notice for billing issues.I called- explained the whole series of events. I got absolutely nothing. No solution even though I answered every question and finally set up an account, which changed nothing! No supervisors- so no options for help other than the one who answers the hone who cannot fix anything or explain anything. All this time and I still do not have the shirt(s) ordered. Very very shaded unprofessional operation. Made me feel it was all a scam but I googled it and found it was owned by ******. Hard to believe. I deal with ****** a lot and have never had this kind of interaction.Business Response

I ordered two pairs of shoes and only received one of them. The company requires me to file a police report in order to move forward with the missing item issue. I filed the claim and sent it to the customer service agents. However, the only response I receive from customer service is that they arent able to reach the police station even after I asked them to try again and also confirmed with the police station that it is the correct number to call. With each email follow up, I have to wait and follow up multiple days before I get a flimsy response saying that they cant reach the police to verify the report. I am submitting this here in hopes that the company can properly respond to the issue and verify the police report that I have already submitted. Thank you.Business Response

Started work at ******. they offer shoe credit thru zappos shoes. i started in December 2024. got my pair of boots off of zappos.com and i had to return them because they didn't fit. jan2025 order same pair but larger size, had to return and didn't fit. feb2025 ordered another pair and they didn't fit either. i returned them, but this time they say they cant credit me back or send me back the shoes i returned. even though i followed there return policy. i am fumed. i feel i am entitled to my 2024 shoes credit it is not my fault the way there business runs that it takes time to return items and re order. even if they can not recredit me for 2024 i feel i am still owed that pair of shoes i returned to them, i have documentation of my orders thru email. the shoes value was about $109, after my subsidy the values $0.00 but regardless this seems like bad business practice.Business Response

Zappos denied my credit card. I called and Zappos told me there was nothing they could do on their end. I told them there was nothing wrong with my card. But I called my credit card company and they confirmed there was nothing wrong.I then called Zappos and told them to please correct the problem. My credit card company had confirmed there was nothing wrong. They said they would take care of ******** I made an order and the credit card was declined again by Zappos. This messes up my bookkeeping.Please stop declining a excellent credit card. I have excellent credit ratings. Fix it.Business Response

On Feb 6th I ordered a pair of shoes from Zappos. I got email that order was accepted. With in a few mins I get another email saying that due to billing issues my order was canceled and my account put on hold. I called the customer service number and was told my account was put on hold. This is the second time I have ordered from them. The last time was years back. They could not give me any kind of explanation. After looking up posts from other people this seems to be an issue with them and when people call they say they can't tell you the reason why you are blocked. This was purchased with my ******** account. I had to open a case with them waiting to get my money backBusiness Response

I think their message back to me did not really clarify anything. if I'm doing a purchase with AfterPay, they get Paid by them asap. This seems to be an issue with them doing this to other people and when you call customer service they should be able to tell you something not we can't see it on the system.Initial Complaint

I have contacted Zappos at least 5 times regarding this issue and not resolution has taken place. I ordered shoes that were shipped on January 2nd and 3rd. I decided not to keep any since they did not fit. When I tried to access my account and order in my account on the ********************** website it was not there despite having ordered through Zappos using my amazon log in and/or my account log in. My account was not showing the order, but my credit card statement was. So I contacted Zappos and they told me to wait a day and they would have it sent over. So I did, it was never sent. I contacted again at least two more times each time being told to wait. I finally reached someone who gave me *** shipping labels to return. I have since returned them on 1.27.25. They show received from the tracking numbers. I have contacted Zappos three times to see what is going on with my return/money reimbursed. They keep telling me to wait a day and someone will be in touch, but that is not happening.Business Response

Hi! I made a purchase on 12/21/24 from Zappos for a pair of shoes, and the package was delivered late on 12/27/24. On 12/28/24, I dropped off my return to *** as the shoes did not fit. On 12/28/24, it stated that Zappos had issued my refund and to allow 2-10 business days for the funds to be deposited back to my account. However, I still have not received the refund after 10 business days. Therefore, I contacted customer service, and they told me what I already know, that my refund had been accepted blah blah, and that I should deal with my bank about this matter. Obviously, the bank cannot refund my purchase... that is why I was contacting Zappos. I would like the refund for $141.90 issued back to my account ****. Thank you!Customer Answer

I placed order 114-1777946-9359420 on 1/8/25. It was supposed to be delivered by 1/13/25. As of today, it had not yet shipped, so I contacted Zappos by chat to ask for status. They told me it was out for delivery and gave me the *** tracking number. The tracking number was for a sweater that I bought from Zappos, not for the bra, so they just lied to me to shut me up. In a separate chat, I asked about the status of two more recent orders, and they gave me the same *** tracking number, and said they were out for delivery. Another lie. I'm left waiting for a bra that was due today, and two nightgowns due tomorrow, and none of them have shipped, but I have been charged for all 3 orders, and lied to by Zappos chat team about all 3 orders. I need to receive these 3 orders immediately or receive 3 refunds right away. I'm shocked and appalled that two different chat sessions resulted in the same lie: "It's out for delivery today." Kindly fix asap. But, you cannot fix my trust in Zappos, which was mostly intact until this experience. Your chat "team" has obviously been instructed to just lie if there is no actual info to share.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:I responded to ******** email last week and I didn't get a response. Then I called the phone number she called from and asked for her, and they told me they couldn't transfer me. Then I wrote to the *************************** email and I received a reply saying "Hello ********!" What??? This experience has been utter chaos. The least you could have done would have been to give me a way to contact you by email and/or phone. Zappos is in severe need of some adult supervision. What a mess. At the very least, you need to fix the fact that your chat agents habitually lie. Zappos is bad to do business with, which is a shame.
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
