      Please provide more details on your purchase if possible. If the item was purchased online, please provide the order number. If the item was bought in a store, please provide the receipt. We will look into these issues as soon as we have more details.

      I was shipped an empty box which should have contained a pair of $200 sneakers. I called customer service. I was asked to send pictures which I did and was told they will file a claim with UPS. I asked why they couldn't replace the sneakers the rep said they have a policy stating they are not responsible for items once shipped. I asked to speak with a manager and the rep disconnected the call.

      Good afternoon,
      The Retro 3 Iris was in the box when it left our facility. It weighed 3 lbs. We verified it was in the box when it was sent out- it appears it is a UPS issue. Although DTLR is not responsible for lost or stolen items, we do value you as a customer, so a claim was filed. UPS is still investigating the issue. Once UPS approves the claim, we can issue a refund. We do apologize for the issue with this order and are awaiting UPS's approval of your claim.

      On Friday, August 19, 2022 at 5:50PM I purchased 1 pair of AJI MID SE BLK/CORAL shoes from DTLR located on State Street ***** State Street East ***** *****, ** XXXXX) for $135.00 using my debit card. Less than 1 hour later I attempted to return the shoes because I did not want them anymore. The shoes were unused/never worn. I brought them back with the receipt and the card I used to purchase them. I was then told the store does not do cash refunds. However, I did not pay using cash. Since then, I have been promised phone calls from the District Manager (Ike) in which I have not received and none of the store associates have taken initiative to help me resolve this issue. DTLR's return policy states that customers have 30 days to return unused/undamaged merchandise with the receipt. Which I have done. I would like a full refund as soon as possible.

      We would like to have the contact information for the customer so that we can rectify this issue and offer a full refund if one has not been given at this time.

      I apologize for the issue with the return you did at one of our stores. Unfortunately, if you pay with a debit card or cash, the only thing we can give you is a store gift card which can be used online or in store. If you pay with a credit card, those refunds can go back to your credit card. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for shopping with us.

      I purchase the products July 27, 2022. The order was partially shipped out. I picked up the items that were at the store August 8, 2022. I asked for a refund for the reminder of the items. I was told a refund was sent August 9th, but I never received the refund. I looked into it and found that the items were reshipped and not refunded. I called again on August 18 to get a refund or pick up my items. I was promised that they would get in contact with the store and have the store send me an e-mail with a code for pick up, the e-mail never arrived. At this point it's going on a month and I would like help resolving this.

      Our records show that the customer placed an order on 7/28 to be delivered to DTLR store 3131. The Boy's toddler taping tricot set got to the store on 8/1. The other 2 items from Plaza at ********* were in label created so a claim was filed. A new $0.00 order was created and sent to the store (Order *******). The two items arrived at the store on 8/15 and 8/16 respectively. Here are the tracking numbers for the reship. It appears both orders were picked up by the customer (screenshots attached).

      Good Afternoon, 

       I do apologize for the delay with this order. It appears on the first order, it 2 items were lost in transit with fed ex. Once we became aware of the issue, we reshipped the 2 items you were missing to the store. It appears those items were picked up on 8/25 and the issue has been resolved. Again we do apologize for the unforseen delay with this order and thank you for shopping with us.

      The stores across the DFW region allows people to come in and buy raffle tickets to where those people can go online an d sell them double the price they say they offer online raffles but they're never there to be available
      Every time I call a local store either the raffles have been hand picked or they lie and say it was done online either way I know it's a scam to sell shoes to another store shoe they can mark up price and the only way it's done is under the table money

      This claim will be looked into. We now offer a digital raffle process that allows customers to enter into the raffle process for new released products through our company app. Stores do not have the ability to sell raffles with this new system in place, and all customer entries will be randomly selected by the system not the stores employees.

      Business Response

      Date: 03/31/2025

      Thank you for your feedback. Stores are not allowed to reserve/charge extra for new releases and it is a terminable offence if that were to occur. We take this very seriously. We have updated our raffle procedures to minimize this being able to happen. If you have any specific concerns, please let us know and we will forward to the DM of that location and ops management. The raffles are for customers that win the raffle or first come first serve basis. We thank you for reaching out and appreciate your business. Thank you for shopping with us.

      I bought a pair of shoes for my son size 7 at the Summit mall location. I wasn't sure if they would fit him. The lady told me I could return them as long as I had the receipt, and within 30 days returned in the box etc. and I almost paid in cash but she said no put it on your card bc you won't get a refund. I confirmed if I charge it I can get a full refund back on my card. She said yes. The transaction was done on an iPad. She did it so quick -there was no asking if I wanted credit or debit, she swiped my card and then turned the tablet twds me to finish the transaction. I never hit debit or credit. When I left I even thought that was weird how quick she was being and I felt worried- today I went to return the shoes, they were to small and I found a size 8 online. The store is saying bc it was debit purchase they can only give me a gift card. It's under 30 days I have the receipt. It was a ********** purchase is what the receipt says. I tried calling customer service and they weren't any help.

      Business Response

      Date: 03/31/2025

      I apologize for the issue you experienced at our location. If you pay with a debit card with master card or **** logo,  or cash, the only option that the store physically has to offer a refund is a gift card for the store. If you use a credit card (which is not attached to your bank account), they would be able to refund that directly back to your payment method.I do apologize for the confusion with this return and for any inconvenience this may have caused. We appreciate your business and thank you for shopping with us.
