      My husband purchased a pair of shoes and inadvertently ordered the wrong size. We returned the shoes, and a couple weeks later the shoes were returned and marked used. My husband didnt even try them on as they were a size too small. Several emails with CS with documentation. They couldnt even tell me what about the shoes deemed them used.

      Hi

      Please ask the client to send pictures of the shoes, both top and sole so I can understand if the shoes are worn.   

      thanks

      Please see the attached photos. CS stated there are creases in shoes and they are deemed worn. We never even tried these shoes on as they were ordered too small.  The creases were either already present when shipped to us, or leather can become deformed in cold weather (they were shipped to *********, **).

      Hi

      After viewing the pictures, the shoes are showing creases along the top of the shoe and the sole is showing marks.  Due to this, we cannot accept back as they are not able to be restocked.

      Accidentally bought 3 belts on Feb 8, 2025 via their website when I only needed 1. Contacted customer service right after to cancel. They were able to cancel, products weren't shipped. However, my money wasn't refunded. Contacted them right away, I've been hung up once, disregarded once, and it's 2/19 now and I still don't have my refund.I contacted them again today via online chat, agent just left the chat without giving any legitimate answer.Order placed under the name Ruiqi He (my girlfriend), but shipped to me.

      Placed an order for a hat and a scarf. They took my thousand dollars, no problem. Both items advertised on their website in stock and would ship in 1 business day. Waited 1 week, then called customer service for an update, since I paid for expedited shipping. Was told there was a block on my order and I received no calls and/or email. Was treated extremely bad by their call center agents. Asked for a Supervisor, of course they play the game of having no supervisor available. Then asked to cancel order, but of course, they play the whole once you order you cannot cancel game. Said someone with a supervisor role would call, of course that call never happened. They shouldn't be in business selling goods, if they cannot deliver said goods or answer any questions to why they took my money immediately, yet cannot complete the transaction and/or offer any status or remedy.

      Hi

      Not sure I understand what the client is looking for.  Did he not get his order?  It sounds like there may have been an issue processing payment.   Please find out exactly what he is looking for so I can take better care of him.

      thankyou

I never received refund or email confirmation so called customer service. They had no answer as to why no refund. Shoes mailed back saying it was after the allowed return date-- 3 days??

      Hi 

      The client returned the shoes to one of our stores and not through the normal channels of using the return label to send to our ecom returns processing.   Does the client have a tracking number from our Boston store so I can research.  I need to see if it was returned to our DC and when.

      thank you

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      The Boston store (did not give me tracking ) sent the shoes back to warehouse, the store warehouse confirmed they did get the shoes back, the warehouse said they would not exchange or give a credit because it was too long and the warehouse sent them back to me - 

      I returned them within a few weeks !!!  I now have the shows back!  This is all under my order number if they actually did the research!!!

      Good day!

      Below is the information I received from my Ecom team regarding her order and the reason for the rejection:

      "Tracking number to client's address in order - ******************
      This was received and signed by client on 12/2/2024.

      Return tracking number - ******************
      This was received by the warehouse on 12/19/2024.
      The item she ordered was a sale item (0775926_1C _ 80). Markdown returns must be received by the warehouse within 10 days from the date of delivery, but our warehouse received this late return a week after the return window."

      The only option that can be offered to the client is an exchange.  If they wish to proceed, please let me know.

      best,

      I ordered a wallet on a chain from Ferragamo. It was for my teenage cousin and the salesperson was great. The package was to be shipped to my house but was then lost at some point. This was a Christmas gift and nearly a month passed. The package was able to be located at a totally different CVS than the one originally listed. I went to retrieve the package and opened it when I got home to be shocked that there was no wallet in the box. So then in examining the package I see that there's 2 layers of packing tape on the box. There's a paper tape and then there's a plastic tape over it. One of two things happened: either someone at Ferragamo opened the box and stole the wallet and repackaged the box OR the box was opened after Ferragamo shipped it off and resealed after the contents were taken out. This is extremely frustrating. My little cousin won't have her wallet on a chain for Christmas.

      Please advise the client that they will need to contact the store where the wallet was purchased.

      On August 3, 2024, I bought two pairs of the same shoe in size 10.5 and 11 (because the store I went to did not have the style in those sizes and I was not sure which would be the better fit). I received one on August 8, 2024 and the other I eventually picked up from a *** drop-off location on August 13, 2024. I tried both, size 11 was too big and 10.5 was a better fit. I did not use the size 11. On August 15, I dropped off the size 11 at *** for return, using the return label provided when the shoe was shipped. A few weeks later, I received the shoe back.I reached out via email to ask why and was informed that they determined it had been worn. I took photos and sent and explained I got two pairs and I kept the pair that fit, there was no reason to wear the pair that was too big. They refused. I called customer care and tried explaining and the agent hung up the phone on me. I went to the store on ********** and was told it is a different entity from the e-commerce and there was nothing they could do. Eventually they told me that they reached out to the e-commerce customer care and someone will get in touch with me but no one ever did. So I was left with no recourse.

      I reached out to our ecom team who provided pictures of the shoes which were denied.  The soles are showing signs of wear, and the leather is creased.  We cannot accept back as they are not in restock condition.

      I find their response unsatisfactory- if they claim the shoe was creased - then that was how it was sent to me in the first place. I know I didn't use the shoe beyond trying it on to find out whether it fit or not.

      Our product is fully inspected before being shipped out to clients, specifically our ecommerce orders.  We would not have shipped worn shoes.  Since these are not in restock condition, the shoes cannot be returned.

      I have two pairs of shoes and the sole has ripped and cracked. I have barely used these shoes. It appears they are using cheap material for the soles which contains some sort of white spec's. On can be a freak instance but two it's a ripoff for such expensive shoes.

      Hi

      The client can reach out to our authorized repair facility to see if these shoes can be repaired.  If the shoes are within Ferragamo's two year warranty, they just need to send a copy of their receipt for a no charge repair.  If the shoes are no longer under warranty, the client is responsible for the repair.

      ---

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ******** and have determined that my complaint remains unresolved for the following reasons:

      The issue is not merely about getting the shoes repaired. These shoes, for which you charge a premium, have not even lasted a month of wear. They are already falling apart, whereas I have much cheaper shoes that have endured significantly more use and remain in better condition.

      My conclusion is that your company produces a substandard product while charging premium prices. I do not see the value in spending additional money to send the shoes to ******** for repairs, especially given that they should not require repairs after such minimal use.
