      On 12/2/24 I was trying to place an order on Finish Line website, and the website was having issues... I did end up placing an order on 12/2/24 for a pair of gym shoes that I was trying to order for a present, however it ended up getting placed for 2 of the same pair of shoes. The order number is ********** for reference. I did also use a gift card at check out and once again the website was having more issues and would not let me enter the amount of my gift card (there was no place to do this) just kept bringing up different values every time I tried to re-enter the gift card number. Since it was late and customer service was closed, I placed the order and figured I would call customer service the next day to get it fixed. So, I did call customer service the next day and they were no help. After wasting over an hour, almost 2, with being put on hold and transferred all around I was told that there was nothing that they could do to help. I wasn't happy with this response because it made entirely no sense to me as to why they couldn't cancel one pair of shoes and apply the remaining balance of my gift card to my order. My only option at this point was to escalate it. This is the beginning of the complaint full details in attachments

      I ordered 2 pairs of men shoes on 12/15/24, In return i received 1 pair of youth shoes i never ordered. I knew something was wrong when i saw 1 small box instead of a big package. What was inside was the wrong pair of shoes and another mans order # address, email and phone number from a different state. I called customer service asap as these shoes were christmas presents, i was told to mail the wrong item back. I followed what i was told and mailed them back through jd sports on 12/21/24. They were delivered on 12/30/24 I received email saying my return was delivered and working on refund. I keep calling and never get an answer, i was told this was escalated. Today 01/07/2025 i called again and was told they would have to submit another refund form? I do not understand why, they are not explaining anything to me even after i keep asking for a supervisor, they just place me on hold and hang up on me. This is the worst customer service *** ever received from a company. Ruined Christmas for me and im out of almost $330.00!! All i did was trust this company with my business. I dont know what to do! Please help me resolve this. I just got hung up on again waiting for a supervisor.

      I ordered three pairs of shoes as a Christmas present on 12/20/24 which on their website it stated to place orders no later than 12/22/24 for guaranteed delivery by 12/24/24. I still have yet to receive them, when I look the information up on the website it still says being processed. Numerous calls and emails to the company and all I get is the order is still in process or most of the calls end up with being hung up on when they say they are researching the issues and place me on hold then they hang up. I have now requested to cancel the order and be refunded in full and now they say they have to get back to me as they are really busy, so they have my money and no resolution of me getting my items or a refund.

      On 10/8/24 I placed an online order for some red & white Nikes. Upon receipt, the red was more orange than I had wanted so I returned them. Theres no store locally so I mailed them in, after having to request an emailed label since their online return system wasnt working for me. On 10/22/24 I sent the shoes back, on 10/29/24 they received them. After several weeks and no refund, I emailed asking for an update. They confirmed the return was received on 10/29/24 and were asking internally for an update. It is 12/30 and I still have not received a refund after countless emails and calls. I keep getting the same generic response and Im no longer sure what to do. I will never buy from them again and I hope to eventually get my money back.

      I have been dealing with a refund issue with this order for almost two months now. Initially, I ordered two pairs of shoes. I only received one pair. Finish Line issued me a prompt refund for the first pair. I then returned the second pair that I DID receive. Finish ****************** sent me an email with a return label via ***** with tracking. The shoes were returned to Finish Line on Monday 11/11/2024 at 11:10am and signed for by *. *****. On November 15th, I filed a claim with my bank, as I was not getting refunded, confirmation of refund or receipt from Finish Line. Mid-December my bank reached out letting me know that Finish Line submitted documentation and to give them a call. I gave Finish Line a call, who informed me that they would be happy to refund me, but I needed to close my dispute first. I called on December 15, 2024 to my bank and closed the dispute. I informed Finish Line of this and the chargeback was reversed on December 17th, 2024, showing that I had a REVERSAL in my account and the money was taken back out ($117.70). I submitted this documentation to Finish Line. I have over fifteen email responses from **************** that all state that there is nothing they can do because a chargeback was filed. I have literally attached the documentation, as of this morning, 11 times. I will attach it a 12th time, to this letter. I am not sure if it is incompetence in the representatives, or if there is a deeper issue going on with Finish Line, but this is obviously against Consumer Protection laws. The shoes were returned, within Finish Lines policy, it is my right as a consumer to file a chargeback, and a chargeback does not negate the ability to receive a refund. Especially, once closed.

      I ordered THE Christmas present for my son, and 6 DAYS later, 2 days after they stated it would likely arrive. they contacted me to let me know that they don't have the shoes anymore. I have not received a refund, and my son will not receive a present. It is 12/23 - a day before Christmas. I don't have the money, or the shoes. and nothing is coming. I waited on customer service for over half an hour to speak to someone, then was put on hold indefinitely for over 30 more minutes, then no one came back but they hung up. I will not shop at Finish Line and definitely do not recommend. ************** no resolution.
