I placed an online order on Finishline.com on 8/31. The product cost was $145.00. I used a giftcard/merchandise credit for $125.00 and used my credit card for the remaining balance. I received no correspondence for a few days and decided to check the status online. I found that the order was canceled so initially, I thought maybe the inventory was unavailable but that was not the case. All of my information was correct and there were no issues with funding. I called this morning to find out why the transaction was canceled and was given a generic response. I also asked how I will be refunded the portion that was on the gift card since I discarded it after the purchase. I was told nothing could be done since the purchase did not go through. The issue is, I threw away the card as it had a 0.00 balance after the order and they obviously can see the method of payment since an order # was generated. ***********). This business canceled my order without cause and is now attempting to keep the $125.00 I used stating they can't retrieve gift card info. This is completely unacceptable and fraudulent. I even asked if they could place a new order over the phone and I would pay the difference but was placed on hold and then told I could not be helped. I asked for a manager and my number was taken. I would imagine that won't go far. I am supposed to be out of $125.00 and the product because of an erroneously canceled order? There is no way a company can't verify a method of payment if they went so far as to generate an order number. That means they have all the details related to that order not to mention since it was an online order you only have a limited of ways to pay.

I would also like to add that I immediately used the contact form listed on the website under the 'contact us' option to explain the situation. I received an email failure notice following the email confirming my submission so they are clearly having technical issues which could have contributed to my order being canceled. Rather than customer service dismissing me and my issue, they could have spoken to their IT dept. I did not manually enter an email address, so I knew it was not a typo.

Attached are the time & date stamped emails of when I submitted the issue.

[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]
The retailer did not offer any resolution and while I can easily make a purchase in store or even attempt another online purchase, that does not solve the issue of the $125.00 giftcard used. I understand them saying they did not charge the card but when I placed the order, I destroyed the card as it had a 0.00 after the purchase. I had no reason to think they would cancel the order as I was sent a confirmation email and an order #. This was 100% on the end of Finishline. There was no issue with methods of payment or my personal information. Everything was verified. If an order has an issue, merchants reject it immediately. I had to check for a status update to find this order canceled. The merchant also completely ignored the email failure which was their own system. Customers send emails through their site leaving no room for typos. This is unacceptable business practice!

[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]
I have literally been reaching out to the company since finding out the order was erroneously cancelled and in addition to not being given a valid reason for cancelling my order, they are asking for information that if I had, I would not have an issue. When being issues a merchandise credit yes you are given a receipt but once the amount on the card is confirmed there is no longer a need to keep it as you do not need it. I would have held on to the physical card for two reasons. If I thought there would be an issue or if I did not use the full balance. After making my online purchase, the balance was zero which is why I entered my **** info as well. An order # was generated so I had no reason to think it was not processing. Also, I was emailed by someone from the company stating transactions records at stores are not kept beyond 3-4 months which is a lie because if not for customers they would be kept for tax and revenue purposes. This has been a horrible experience and it should be clear by now I simply do not want to be out of the $125 I had on the card prior to the online purchase. I have emailed, sent screenshots and explained countless time what transpired yet the company cannot explain why they cancelled my order or why their contact platform failed through their own website. If necessary, I will file a small claim so no one else has to be robbed due to an obvious website glitch followed by a cover up. There is no way a business can't produce receipts or transaction information.

I placed an order on finish line for two pairs of shoes on Sunday 8/18/2024. I received a email on 8/19/2024 that my order was arriving on Tuesday 8/20/2024 (One pair of shoes, the other pair was shipping separately) . I was home on Tuesday 8/20/2024 and as soon as I got the email the shoes was delivered, I went to get my package and the shoes was not there. I called support a few hours later and was told that a refund would take 3-5 days to get. I was also advised by agent to ignore the return label email I got as often times when receiving a refund it those return labels automatically generate. I called back on Friday 8-23-2024 to double check and was told a refund was approved and to wait a couple more days for refund and that it was also sent to higher up for faster refund. Then i call back today 8-27-24 and was told my refund was canceled. I was confused as to how my refund got canceled when i was told twice it was approved. The agent told me it was canceled because my order shows delivered. I then asked to speak to supervisor. After waiting 20 minutes, my call was getting transferred to supervisor, and once getting transferred and waiting the call hung up. After the call hung up, I received a email from that supervisor ************************* Email stating my order was delivered and I cannot get refund due to my package being marked as delivered and to contact ****** Its very rude and disrespectful to hang up on call and then to email me a response as Ive waited to speak to supervisor. Im making a complaint now as I exhausted all my options trying to get my money back for a package I did not receive of my new balance size 1.5 Y order # **********, I would like a refund back for my order I did not get of new balance shoes $87.10.

That is not a valid reason to deny my refund. I brought shoes from your company. Youre okay with taking my money for shoes but youre not okay with providing a refund once my package goes missing. My next step will be taking this to civil court, I never got my packaged and was never offered a replacement either. After looking deeper, this company has a habit of doing this to multiple other people. Such a scam.

Today is 8/24/24 and I still have not received my order (#**********). It has either been lost or stolen and has never been delivered to me. I have requested a replacement twice and still no email has been received to confirm the replacement shipment. This order was placed at the end of July. It has been almost a month and my issue still have not been resolved. I am very very unsatisfied. I am now requesting a FULL REFUND for order number **********. The order is no longer needed or wanted. I have spoke with several customer service **** and emailed as well. I have gotten the same response (a replacement has been requested, shipped, and I would get an email) A week later, no email to confirm what they said. When I inquired further, no new shipment had been sent out because now the item I originally ordered is no longer in stock. Then I was advised that my order could not be cancelled. It would have to be sent up to the higher *** for them to review if it is approved for me to get my money back. This is ridiculous. I do not have your product. Not the 1st order and the **** lied about a replacement order. There is confirmation of that. All I want is my money back that I clearly paid. There is also confirmation of that as well. Can my refund be processed as soon as possible?

I am unsatisfied with the resolution because it was an action after I requested a refund. It took them approximately a month to finally do something about my complaint. It wasnt until after I requested a refund for 2 days and finding out that they lied about the replacement shipment. After going thru all of the frustrations, long wait, emails, and calls to that company that they decided to ship one part of my order. This does not make it okay.

As of today, 9/6 I have not received anything. Hopefully it will be received in the coming days which will bring closure to this issue.

I ordered shoes on 8/3. I took the day off to wait at home for the package. After getting a notification my order was delivered I then didnt see anything at my door. I checked my neighbors checked the apartment lobby, everywhere I could. I then reach out to care they apologize give me a 20$ credit and assure me I will have a refund by Friday. I call in Friday they tell me the refund was never processed and they would process another one. I then call in yesterday and was told these were denied due to past orders. I only ordered from Finish Line once in my life. They informed me the package was outside my complex for 2 days however I was at home and called immediately when it said delivered and was not in fact delivered. I have been told 10 different things from **** and even given a credit because I was being told so many different things. I just want my money back so I can actually go get these shoes they were for my childs first day and now that has been ruined.
