I returned order C01015245119 on 9/11/2022 and was sent an email that my refund for $113.66 was being processed. I was told it to take up to 10 days. Here it is 9/26/2022 and still no refund. I just chatted with a Team Representative and was told hes taking care of it and it will be another 10 days. Im getting the run around. He would not give me a number to call in this matter. They have the merchandise but I have no refund. I need this resolved ASAP. I thought Nike was a great company, not anymore. Very poor customer service issues.Business Response

I won a Nike SNKRS raffle for a shoe and Nike just canceled my order due to either there being more winners then there were shoes or people at Nike stealing the product for themselves. The main issue here though is this shoe is extremely hard to come across and unrealistic For me to buy at the resale price ($1500-$2000) however I was guaranteed to buy the shoe at the retail price which was $160 usd but they couldnt fulfill my order even though it is supposed to be guaranteed with the raffle win. I have been contacting Nike support since way before my shoe was supposed to arrive and they kept telling me not to worry. Yesterday a supervisor at Nike named **** told me that on his end my order wasnt cancel and that I shouldnt worry. I just want to come to a resolution that I feel is adequate for the mess i went through.Business Response

Hi ****,
Thank you for contacting Nike through the Better Business Bureau regarding your order.
We're sorry to hear about the frustration and confusion caused with your pair of Nike x Off-White *** Force 1 Low Men's Shoes. We searched high and low for a replacement pair of the shoes, but unfortunately we are completely sold out of the shoe. Also, I can see in our records that you were not charged for the order. Because we are unable to replace the shoes and we are not able to refund you because you were not charged, we will unfortunately be unable to further assist with your order.
Thank you again for contacting Nike and have a great day.

I am rejecting this response because: Your staff and supervisors told me not to worry while I was contacting them about my order before delivery date. All around every person I asked keeps telling me conflicting information and its making things worse for me. I have not gotten an answer as to why my item I purchased is out of stock especially considering I won a raffle to be able to purchase this item. Now I would like to know why they cant fulfill my order, I have two scenarios in mind and they could both be happening but they either had more raffle winner then there were shoes or they had employees taking the shoes. They also definitely couldve had a vip want a large order last minute but either way Im unable to buy these shoes because they are reselling for ****+ not including taxes and fees. This is my first SNKRS raffle I ever won and I was so excited that I won and when I found out they canceled my order I was so sick I literally threw up. This has affected my physical, emotional, and mental health in such ways I never expected. I am horrified that this has been happening to other winners and they have not fixed their service. I would have been more happy if I just never won instead of winning and getting the order canceled at least I wouldnt be physically and mentally unwell and I wouldnt have wasted all this time contacting support and not getting anywhere. I still havent been able to receive any kind of adequate assistance and even these customer support workers wont let me speak to the supervisor sometimes. Overall my worst experience with any sort of purchase Nike needs to fix this.

I am rejecting this response because: There are more pairs that couldve been sourced if they really wanted to because ******************* website canary yellow is shock dropping them sometime very soon and/or they could even turn the factory machines on and produce more pairs, they could buy me a pair off of goat or eBay(I dont trust ******), they could give me exclusive access to the ***** exclusive offwhite air force 1 lows the grey ones in the attachments sent, they could allow me exclusive access for all the upcoming pairs of shoes of my choosing because all the shoes I want to purchase are raffles usually and the first time I ever win a raffle on the ***** app Nike cancels my order and I am even hearing rumors that Nike themselves are going to do a ***** stash which usually takes place in a big city but its usually always in Cali or ******** or maybe ******* but not ****** that I know of so they are going to cancel my order on a shoe I was guaranteed to get by wining a raffle and they are eventually going to do a ***** stash release which means they have more pairs or they have access to produce more pairs. I am unable to buy this shoe even if I could afford it spending rent money on a pair of shoes is ridiculous and I shouldnt have to for a pair that I was guaranteed. I would also love to be a Nike model and product tester if that is possible.

On Jun 11, 2022, I bought a pair of Nike basketball shoes with totally paid $73.58. After 3 times wearing them, I notice the shoes are not tied since the shoe eyelets are torn apart. I contacted the online service immediately and provided photos to show the defects. They admitted the defects and allows me to return the shoes.

I placed an order on the ***** app which belongs to NIKE on September 13,2022. It was a Air Force 1 x Off White and very limited stock. I was very exciting for my shoes to come. On September 2022, a week after I placed order and I still didnt receive my shoes and I contact the customer service about my order status and they told me that my order was considered as a stuck order and it was probably lost. This shoes is worth around $1500 on reseal market and I get it use the retail price which is $160. I think it probably being stolen by the employee in the warehouse. I wanted NIKE to send me a replacement but they can not do it for me and the said only solution was to process a refund for me and I did not accept it. It is ridiculous that I made a successful purchase but I can not receive my order. *** tracking number: 1Z0476YW0345380046 NIKE order number: C01033365185Business Response

City Beats is an authorized Nike seller, in which they have the fortunate ability to ************** Nike shoes, apparel, and accessories. May 15, 2021. I went to this location to buy a pair of shoes which is suppose to be $170.00 at all authorized Nike sneaker retailers, however before taxes City Beats owner charged me $220, which is a $50 mark up. Additionally, the owner gave me the wrong size, and then told, "do I want them or not." This business is unprofessional and operates on the fringes of best business practices. There needs to be a deep investigation on how this business operates and "services" the Nike products. Ideally, I would like a refund on the difference I was charged, business to offer an apology, or overall business to be permanently closed for shady practices. I have called Nike customer service numerous times regarding this business yet I have seen any changes or heard anything back from them regarding how this business is ran.Business Response

On August 16th, I placed an online order for several items at nike.com. After receiving an email notification that they were delivered, only one pair of shoes had been delivered, leaving over $1300.00 of items missing. After contacting the business several times, I was told that they couldn't do anything about it and they wouldn't replace/refund thw items or money. This is a very dishonest way to do business and I feel I am a victim of fraud.

I bought my son a pair of Nike Phantom GT2 Academy Dynamic Fit MG cleats on the Nike website. After I placed my order I saw that they would not arrive for 5 days. My son needed cleats before that time. So, I went to Dicks Sporting goods & bought him a pair of Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Academy MG. He ran around in Dicks to assure fit. The next day he wore them to his game and his heel kept coming out of cleats causing blisters + part of the shoe was digging into his foot causing a cut on his foot. Since Nike says that you can try items ( "All purchases made on Nike.com, in any of the Nike apps, or at a Nike store have a 60-day return period. Go ahead and test out your Nike or Converse purchase to make sure it works for you") I was sure Nike would take the shoes back-THEY WERE ONLY WORN 1 TIME! I realize they were bought at Dicks ( I gladly would have purchased at Nike but, I have no local store!).This was of no issue though...The issue and reason I was denied a return was because my son had worn them. The policy clearly states that you are to test the shoes & see if they work for you. This is very misleading to consumers since you can only try an item by using it as intended. My son did wear them in store before purchase & around house before game to assure there would be no problem. Also, Nike has been featured in the news touting "Sustainability" for taking shoes back & reselling them. My son's shoes are in near new condition being worn once. I feel Nike is getting free press and not really interested in reselling shoes that do not work for customers if they can avoid doing so. Since my son is so happy with Nike cleats I am sad that Nike does not honor its stated ********** want to warn others not to buy and try as Nike advises since they will not stand by their own policy. My son is a young Nike customer whom I may be advising to choose another brand that adheres to their own policies for his future purchases.Business Response

09/18/2022. I ordered some vintage shoes Dunks from NIKE that are drops that you have to wait to get. I called the shipper(Laser Shipper) and gave instructions to ship. which included name of apartment and that we have a page center located at my apartments where all boxes go. They said couldnt delivery friday, I called an asked why no answer from customer service, he verified information and Sunday the 18th they said they delivered ay 8:54 pm at my door. There was nothing at my door, I left messages where to deliver so my door was not in the message and at 8:54 pm how di they get access because no one called for gate access, and I dont know o any shipper delivering items at that time of night. These shoes sold out immediately so i cant replace them i would have to go to a third party reseller who will sell for more than they were bought for. Nike offered no resoulution but to refund me knowing they have had problems with this shipper becuase the rep told me Friday, and they also know with shoe drop it is hard to get the same shoes they have low stock when they offer shoe special dropsBusiness Response
