      Placed an order December 13th for a pair of shoes that were to be a Christmas gift. Christmas came and went. I reached out Jan 1st asking where the item was. I was given a "Oh we are sorry, we will ship them right away. We are reaching out to our warehouse to expedite!" A week later, still no shipping notification. I emailed yet again but I also went to the website, saw the shoes were still in stock etc. I got another reply at that time that the item was a PRE order and wouldn't ship till Feb 3rd. There was nothing anywhere on the website stating this. At this point I was pretty angry, I went back to the site and now suddenly there was a note next to the shoes saying it was a preorder. I asked the recipient if they still wanted the shoes and they did. so we waited....... yet again. Feb 3rd came and went with no shipping notification. I emailed yet again and got a canned reply that they would arrive within 14 days. I replied to that email asking why I hadn't received shipping notification yet. I got another email with the same exact canned reply. I emailed again asking why I had received shipping notification. This time I did NOT receive a reply, I simply received a refund. To say I am angry is an understatement. I waited 2 months for goods I paid for. I did NOT ask for a refund, I wanted the shoes. The shady switcharoo on the site, no shipment, canned replies for 2 months of waiting for the awful customer service from this place is beyond words.

      I ordered shoes online from this business on June 23, 2024. When I received an email from them confirming the order, it had a "6W" on the order form. I sent them back an email asking what this meant. They said this was the size, I ordered an 8N. I searched the web site for a phone number to call and correct this and found none. So I sent them an email about the wrong size. This was about 20 minutes after I had placed the order. They answered that it was too late and I should have called!! By August, the shoes had not arrived. I sent them messages asking where they were, and they said they were having shipping problems and to be patient. I stopped payment with my credit card, but that company said finally that I had to pay for the shoes I never got. The shoe company then told me to go to the carrier, never telling me who the carrier was or its phone number. So I went to the carrier, my local *** franchise, and they printed out the attached information. They told me the label was created, but the shoes were never sent. I want my money back.

      I do not understand what the business is trying to say to me. Therefore, I responded thusly: Thanks for your response. I don't know what a "chargeback" is. Are you saying that if I drop my dispute with the credit card company that you'll issue my refund? Thanks for your prompt response.

      Hi there,

      I'd like to apologize for any confusion regarding this matter. There could have been a much better explanation, and resolution.

      To begin, this order was packed to ship to the address provided to us when the order was placed. I see that Shop Pay was used, which automatically assigns the address associated with that account. The customer had some concerns about how the address was displayed, which should have had a better explanation.

      While I can see that the order did indeed ship, based on the lack of milestones, we would have to consider this package as lost once it entered the *** network. By the time our customer support team realized this, and attempted to issue a refund, there was already a chargeback associated with this order. Meaning, the customer contacted their bank to get a refund.

      I see that the bank has since accepted the chargeback as of September 10, 2024. The bank will now be responsible for when the funds will appear back on the original form of payment.

      Our apologies that this process was not as seamless as expected, and should you choose to shop with us again, we are happy to offer you a $25 gift card. If you would like to accept, please let us know and it will be issued.

      I placed an order with Easy Spirit. I waited but the shoes were never delivered. I called them and was told they could not give a refund and they would put a claim in with **** 30 minutes later Easy Spirit emails me that the case was closed. Ive called them MULTIPLE times and have been told I need to deal with it with **** *** tells me any refund would have to come from Where I ordered it. Easy Spirit! I ordered and paid for almost 200$ of product and have no product. That seems to sit alright with Easy Spirit. HORRIBLE customer service!!

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is relatively satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved as much as I think Easy Spirit is willing to do. 
      It took 6 months of aggravation with many many phone calls to both companies. Easy Spirit blamed it on **** *** placing the blame on Easy Spirit. I had to dispute it with my credit card twice where Easy Spirit told them both times that the charge was legitimate. Leaving my credit card company to add my dispute to my credit report and me having to pay all the interest involved with the purchase. If they had accepted Responsibility with my credit card I would have been able to avoid paying all the interest involved. Easy Spirit was not interested in helping in the least until I filed with BBB. Thankfully, BBB is here to help us customers from getting ripped off completely.

      I ordered shoes from easy spirit in March. They shipped them by **** Apparently, when I got home from work, my package was stolen. I informed easy spirit and they said that *** stated that the package was delivered and there was nothing that they could do. *** provided a picture of the delivery and it was not a picture of my house, it was a blurry black square, so there was no actual proof of delivery.

      Hi there,

      Our returns facility received the return on June 4th, and attempted to issue a refund, but received an error message. Our customer service team also tried to issue the refund today, and also received an error message.

      This customer placed the order using Shop Pay, and upon further investigation had filed a dispute before the return arrived. When there is an open dispute, we will not be able to successfully issue a refund.

      On Feb. 15 I placed an on-line order for a pair of walking shoes using a voucher from a Today Show box that was advertised on the show. I ordered a second pair of shoes that I didn't need to get free shipping (I was unaware that my "free" shoes would incur shipping charges - that was never disclosed anywhere in the process, including on the voucher that came in the box). I received the extra shoes, but the walking shoes still indicated that the item was being prepared for shipment as of Mar. 20. I emailed customer service to find out how long it would be until my shoes shipped. I was told they "were removed from the order due to going out of stock" and that I should call customer service with my Today Show code. I thought I had thrown away the voucher card when I placed the order, but I have since found it. I have tried on different days/occasions to call in. I have waited on hold for several minutes and gotten disconnected at least four times. One time someone answered but he was breaking up. He fixed the connection and I was speaking with him when he disappeared and never came back. The connection was still active. I followed up the email chain again yesterday and got a response to call customer service (again). I was able to connect with a representative today (April 12th). She basically told me that I made a mistake in Feb when placing the order and that the Today Show shoes could not be ordered with other shoes to get free shipping. She could place a re-order for the shoes, but I'd have to give a credit card to pay $9.95 for shipping!!! Again, this was never disclosed ANYWHERE and I was able in Feb to place the voucher in my cart with the other pair of shoes to get "free" shipping. I am so disgusted that I want to cancel the "free" shoes and get reimbursed fair monetary compensation for those shoes. I'm done with Easy Spirit. The rep couldn't have cared less when I said I would be filing a BBB report. There was no offer to make this right.

      Better Business Bureau:

      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:

      I received an e-mail from Easy Spirit on 4/30 asking me to confirm that I was not charged shipping charges on my original order that contained the missing shoes and a new order that they placed for the missing shoes on 4/12 after I unsuccessfully talked to a customer service rep on the phone (referenced in my original complaint).  I replied to the e-mail that I had not been charged shipping on the original order only because I ordered extra shoes that I didn't need to get free shipping.  I was not charged shipping on the new order, either.  However, that order has not been fulfilled - I still do not have the missing shoes!  According to the recent e-mails, that order has now been cancelled due to inventory.  I've attached a copy of the recent e-mails, as well as the new order that was placed by customer service and the status of my orders from my account page on their website. When I look at my account on-line, it just says the April order is unfulfilled (not cancelled).  At this point, I DO NOT WANT THE MISSING SHOES any longer.  My original order was placed in mid-February.  No shoes.  They placed the new order on 4/12.  It's been over 3 weeks and the shoes haven't even shipped and now the order is apparently cancelled.  I am right back to square one where I started - NO SHOES for the voucher that I paid for in February through the Today Show.  I would like a refund in the amount of $79 to close out this complaint. I DO NOT want a store credit, as I am done with Easy Spirit.  I am really disgusted by the inconvenience they have caused me.  Thank you.

      Please see the attached recent e-mail exchange with Easy Spirit customer service.  I cannot get the shoes that I purchased the Today Show box to get (advertised on the show).  I do not want to purchase anything else from Easy Spirit.   I won't accept a voucher to buy something else from their website, as I will no longer spend $1 with this company after the way this experience has unfolded.  At minimum this was false advertising and mishandling of my order.   I will gladly accept a check in the mail to compensate me for the value of the missing shoes if they cannot credit my credit card (my credit card number is on file with them because I ordered another pair of shoes in February in order to get free shipping on the shoes I never received).

      Easy Spirit has been delaying in rectifying that I was sent the wrong color shoe. It was their own error. Since I reported the error, I have been treated like a chess ****. Made to jump through a series of ridiculous hoops like wanting photos of the shoes before I could send them back. Also being told FALSE information by a "customer service" team, when I think that they are being honest in wanting to fix their mistake. All I get are run-arounds and apologies, but I am still being made to jump through hoops. Why am I being inconvenienced when the problem was caused by Easy Spirit? You will see in the screenshots where I am being told that I could CALL and get assistance with placing my order. Only to then be told on the phone that they can't help me because I have a credit on file. The MOST ridiculous thing--- and it contradicts what I was told IN WRITING, which you will see that in the attached document. So, I was told IN WRITING that after I place my new order (which is really an exchange since they sent me the WRONG COLOR shoes), that Easy Spirit will credit me the price adjustment. Read the words: AFTER YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER, WE WILL ADJUST THE ****** So, when I reached out to say hey, I placed the new order, then "customer service" has the gall to tell me IN WRITING, AFTER THE SHOES HAVE BEEN DELIVERED, we will adjust the price. What the heck is going on here??? Everytime I follow their instructions, I get screwed. I want my shoes and the price adjustment, and I want to be DONE WITH THESE SHYSTERS! THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED.

Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
