      I ordered 3 pairs of shoes for the first time, and tried to Hold packages at A Location other than my neighborhood (porch pirates). I asked *****, they said it was the shippers responsibility. I called Journeys customer service, they blamed *****. How can a shipment be secure when a Hold at Location changes? I'm furiated with this Journeys order. I order e-commerce ALL the TIME. What???!

      Genesco Inc. Response

      07/15/2024

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience(s) caused when your two orders ********* and ********* were not received. Our customers can request for their packages to be held at a ***** location via ********* with a free ***** account. Once they've logged into their ***** account, they will go to the tracking page of the tracking number they are trying to manage. There will be a "manage delivery" option and then select the appropriate management option. Journeys and Carrier, *****, do not assume responsibility for packages that are delivered to the address on the order. However, we will be processing refunds for both orders as a one-time courtesy to get you taken care of.
