Please cancel my order number E42609280 that I placed today, April 19, 2025. I checked out as a "guest" and have recently found out through an email notification from Sierra, that an account has been created for **** purposely avoid online companies that use this tactic to retain and sell a customer's private/personal information.

Delete my so called "account" that I did not create and all my personal information including my credit card information, my name, address, email address, and phone number from your database.Cancel my order immediately and delete my so called "account" and all my information.

I am rejecting this response because "request to being forgotten" is not equivalent to permanently deleting - right to erasure - all my personal information from the TJMaxx i.e. Sierra database. I did not create an account with this company nor did I agree for my personal information to be retained. I suspect my personal information has been sold and shared already and without my permission. There is nothing more to say. This company had no right to create an account for me when I placed an order as "a guest". I should have been notified prior to completing the ordering process if an account was automatically created. I will avoid all of the companies in the future TJMaxx, Marshalls, Sierra etc..in-store and online because their business practices are not ethical in my own personal opinion.

I am rejecting this response because this company has decided to forcibly retain, share, and sell consumers private information without their authorization. I, ***** ***** am disgusted and angry that again I have been put in a position of defending my right to my own personal information just because I wanted to purchase an item from Sierra as a "Guest". I consider this matter closed and unresolved because now, this company and its affiliates have all my personal information without my consent now and in the future whether the company states that my information is "forgotten" and/or deleted, it will still be retained according to the company's privacy policy. I guess I have to hire an attorney to read 50 pages of a privacy policy next time I want to spend my money buying an item online - no thanks. I will do without. ************ learned the hard way.

This thing they sent is not a bra.I want to return it however the cost to simply ship it back nears the price that I paid for it. I would agree if it were just buyer's remorse, however they sold and shipped a truely bizarrely mis-made item and it isn't right that I have to lose money on this to get a refund.Business Response

I purchased a pair of boots in the wrong size (confusing conversion of AU sizing) and immediately contacted the company to change the order or cancel. They refused to cancel or change the order, proceeded to ship it and said that I would need to pay shipping to return it, then pay shipping to separately order a new size. I left a note for ***** not to deliver, they delivered anyway. I returned the package to ***** to return to sender, they attempted to deliver twice again before it was returned to ********, ** facility. Two days after tracking confirmed that it had been signed for at the warehouse, I requested a basic exchange. They said I not only needed to wait for a refund then reorder, I would need to wait ***** days for restocking, after which I would need to pay for shipping before it could be refunded, rather than waiving the shipping fee. Prior to this fiasco, the previous order contained an incorrect item, which they did not replace but required me to again order the correct item (despite their error) and wait to have the shipping fee refunded rather than sending the correct item or waiving the shipping fee on a new order. When I contacted customer service, they claimed it was not possible to waive shipping. Unbelievable.Business Response

I ordered a pair of boots on 03/02, however they were just a little too big. On 03/08 I initiated return to exchange them for the correct size. An in-store credit was issued and I used that to order the correct size.I don't have the exact date, but about a week later, the new boots were ready to be picked up from the store, so I returned the initial ones that were the wrong size and picked up the new ones. When returning the boots, the associate initially rang up a refund to be issued to a gift card, however I explained that I had already been credited and just needed to pickup my new item. He assured me the gift card was canceled and called his manager over to take care of the rest.Six months later on 09/10, I get a random of charge for $243.14 from Sierra with no email in advance or anything. Not recognizing it, I immediately called my bank to file a chargeback and close down that card thinking my card had been compromised. After further investigation, Sierra stated that the boots were never returned. I reached out to them, and they are now insisting that the boots were returned, however they are claiming I was issued a gift card that has already been partially redeemed and can only give me $86. That is simply not true. I never received this gift card. I just want to be refunded for the full amount that I was wrongfully charged. If there are security cameras in the store, they will show me refusing the gift card and walking out without it.Customer Answer

I purchased goods from Sierra Outpost almost 2 years ago. Starting in June 2024 I have been getting numerous advertising emails from them. Sometimes 2-3 emails a day. I followed the link to unsubscribe from emails and nothing happened. I emailed customer service who apologized and said I was removed from the emails and it would take up to 7 days before the emails stopped. They never stopped. I emailed them again and they apologized again and said I was removed and it would up to 7 days before I was completely unsubscribed. I am still getting emails and now several more times a day. I am contacting BBB so that someone will actually follow through with removing people off their mailing list.Business Response

Received a fathers day gift from someone who does their shopping early. When I went to return the item it was already past their return policy even though I'd only recently received the item and it was unopened and unused. upon calling their store they told me I could return it for a credit but when trying to get it done I was told I could not. Why the back and forth for an unopened unused product?Business Response

I placed an order on June 17, 2024 for a pair of shoes. The order was shipped on June 18 via FedEx. Unfortunately, the shipment has been stuck at "on the way Concord, NC" for days now. I believe the order is lost in transit. Unfortunately, this company's chat function never works and emails to the company have the same response - wait, wait, wait. I paid for these shoes, but I am not getting sufficient information. At this point, I think I will need to dispute the charge on my credit card.Business Response

I returned the items from this order and was promised a full $78 refund. I only received half ($39). It is literally impossible to solve this problem over the phone or via customer service chat, and there is no email address to write to. This company's return policy is unbelievably convoluted and clearly designed to fleece customers.Business Response

False representation and zero response to emails. I sent them a photo of what they were claiming their product looked like, vs what it really does. Instead of a lovely blue that I was led to believe I was buying, I got a drab, much darker and grayer one. And no, it's not my monitor. It's a photographer or seller trying to make their product more attractive than it actually is. And returning it, they will charge me for the shipping, which would leave me with nothing and cost more than the products. Emails have gone unanswered for days. It’s not a lot of money, but it's the principle. In the uploaded photo, on the left is their representation, on the right is what I got. Same image I sent to them 4 days ago with no response whatsoever.Customer Answer
