  II bought a $200 NB gift card at a charity auction in April 2023. It expires 12/31/23. It has to be used online. I went to a NB store to try on a shoe, they didn't stock my shoe but measured me for shoe size. They offered to order but card states online only. They said if shoes didn't fit to return to store, they would mail, and I could order another pair online. They didn't fit, returned to store, gave me a receipt and said order new pair with same coupon. 10/12/23 I attempted to order but online said ****** already used. I contacted customer service, no help, asked for supervisor, who called back when I was working. Supervisor A said she could call me back in the evening. Didn't call. I called back 10/15(Monday) -she wasn't working. I called 10/16 spoke to Supervisor ** She asked if I had gift card 16282...1347. I did not. She called store and spoke to store representative. She called me and said I should have received new gift card but I will receive in 2-3 days for original amount($200). Thus began my replies and a string of emails from NB refusing to issue an new gift card, credit, or exchange(clearly stated on gift card).The store personnel was extremely helpful. However it's obvious that the **************** are operating off of different individual playbooks! I want a gift card or online credit for $200 with the time NB wasted added to expiration date. All supporting documents and emails uploaded.

  While the gift card the customer purchased at the auction was used online, it was not provided by the New Balance online team. The customer has been told they need to reach out to the person who provided the gift card to issue a new card. Our team does not have the ability to replace this particular type of gift card.

  Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

  [I have voiced my concerns previously as to why a national online business which accepted a New Balance gift card as legal tender cannot provide a new gift card (which they previously said they would provide) or online credit for the $200 amount of the gift card. It makes absolutely no consumer sense that I cannot receive a gift card or online credit. It almost appears as it is a departmental issue. The "online team" cannot do the reasonable common sense action to replace a gift card or provide online credit. They would not even provide an exchange which is clearly stated on the gift card. The online supervisor said I would get a new gift card, the store representative when I returned the shoes said I could order a new pair using the original gift card - none of which happened. Maybe the online team should forward my request to ***************** Bottom line: I paid for a pair of shoes with a gift card which New Balance accepted. I was told by the store representative when I returned the shoes that I could order a new pair with the same gift card. An online supervisor who asked if I had a specific new gift card (I did not), then called the store, and then called me back saying I would be receiving a new gift card would have been the appropriate response. However, the next day I received another rejection from New Balance.

  Cordially,

  While it is not our standard practice to replace gift cards provided by a team not associated with New Balance, we have provided the customer a $200 coupon as a one-time courtesy. Moving forward, the customer will need to reach out to whoever provided the gift card initially.

  Hello i have placed numerous orders online with newbalance.com, Order number:NSN1488909, NSN1486771, NSN1486722, NSN1486587, NSN1486569.I have been also provided a case number: ******** All of them have been returned successfully and following all instructions provided to me by New Balance using the prepaid return labels. I have been waiting for over 2 months for my returns to process and they have been constantly ignoring and delaying a resolution for me. They have so far only refunded 1 order for me, and i do not know why i have to be waiting for the rest of my returned orders to process. Please refund my money immediately as this has been going on for crazy long!

    Hello, i am not at fault in any way the courier does not know how to do their job properly or perhaps your company provided me with faulty labels with incorrect information. I have followed all of your instructions to return these items. Why are the rest of the shipments that have been lost any different from the shipment that has been lost and ALREADY refunded to me? This is between your company and **** i have already initiated an investigation with them and they have taken responsibility for this and told me to contact your company because you have a contract agreement with them and shipping insurance which means YOUR COMPANY is fully covered and insured. So you are putting me at a loss here. Please see attached email copy.

  New Balance is not responsible for the items returned to our warehouse in error and does not have the ability to send the item back to the customer. Since we have record of the extra item being sent to our warehouse, our only option for reimbursement is a coupon to cover the cost of a new shoe to be purchased on newbalance.com. The customer's information has been passed to our team, and they will be sent an email with a $200 coupon as a one-time courtesy.

  Date of transaction : 11/3/23 Amont in Dispute: $247.48 I placed an order online for two shoes (Order number U00116411), and it was supposed to be delivered to my address, but the shipping company *** Delivered to the wrong address. (Tracking number: 1ZF4W4400332531764). when asked thru chat on their website, they said they will only file a claim and it depends on *** investigation to determine if my refund will be processed. where the tracking from *** says it delivered to a dock in ************ **, where as my address on the shipping is ********** **. and the Agent on the Chat was abrupt and disengaged from the chat saying she cannot help any more. New Balance will take **** business days to respond to the claim and process the refund. Why should they hold my money if the shipping partner of their choosing messed up with the shipping. and am leaving out of the country for couple of months starting next week. and if the shipment is delayed its of no use to me and I could make use of the money to buy some other shoe in some other store.

  I ordered a pair of shoes from NewBalance.com on 9/4/23. This was a model of shoe that my husband had not worn before. When the order came in, it was the color ordered and the size ordered. My husband did not like the way they felt or fit compared to other models he had worn, so I went online to process the return and print my return label. I returned the shoes in brand new condition, with tags still on, in the original box and original shipping box. I monitored the return via my tracking number and confirmed that they arrived on 10/4/23..well within the allowed return time. The information says to allow up to 2 weeks to process a refund. When I did not received my refund, I began calling customer service. I was placed on hold and when the rep came back he said that there was a problem in the shipping department and they could not verify the product that was returned. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I asked to speak to a supervisor. He said that nothing could be done and this would have to go through an investigation process. (At that point I lost my mind)he gave me a timeframe that I would receive an email on regarding this situation. No email. I have called customer service each time they give me another date that i would be receiving an email regarding my refund. On one call, I understood that the refund was being processed and should be forthcoming in a couple of days. I called again on 11/3/23 as I have once again received no communication. This representative again brought up the situation with the warehouse. I again explained that this should not be my problem, as I returned the shoes I was sent, in brand new condition, with tags, in the original shoe box and the original shipping. I was again told this was under investigation but would be given top priority for a resolution. I then said, do you mean refund, and he said resolution. NSN1581654

  Submitted return in January 2023 using New Balance supplied shipping label. *** confirms delivery within required timeframe as shipping info is still available. New Balance stated PayPal denied the refund submitted by New Balance. PayPal stated they have no record of this and would not reject a refund - regardless of age of order. I reached out by phone recently to request that the refund be attempted again. I have not heard back. New Balance is offering only a merchandise credit at this time.

  I purchased a pair of shoes for my son via AfterPay on Oct 3, 2023. The shoes were too small, so he had to return and they did not have the shoes in stock for his size. The return policy clearly states that refunds are given in the original payment method. This is also stated on my return receipt I received via email. Then, I received a gift card for $152.41. I contacted New Balance and receive an email from ****** ******** Care Supervisor stating that some stores are unable to give a refund back to the original payment method and thats why they issue gift cards. NONE OF THIS INFORMATION IS STATED IN THE RETURN POLICY. They are refusing to cancel the gift card and refund me through the same payment method I used to purchase the shoes. I contacted AfterPay as well and unfortunately they are unable to help. I do not shop at New Balance and have zero use for a gift card.

  10/8/2023 - Apologized for the less than stellar customer experience with customer care. Advised need to have funds depleted for gift card and get refund sent to Afterpay. Advised I would follow up with her once all complete. Customer satisfied with resolution.

  10/19/2023 - Gift Card funds removed and Afterpay has been refunded. Attempted to reach customer via telephone to provide update, however, got the message caller unavailable try your call later. Emailed customer the update.
