      I paid $110.42 for a pair of ****** NMD_R1 Blk/Carbon/Wht. A pair means 2, however I only received one shoe. This is supposed to be a Christmas gift for my child. I spent too much time, 2 hours & 19 minutes on the phone with customer service yesterday & got no resolution. I dont want a refund, I want what I paid for, the missing left shoe! **************** gave me the number to the store in *********** that shipped it to me in *****. I was finally able to reach them this morning. They guy told me that they always assume both shoes are in the boxes. Assuming doesnt work. It would take minimal effort to make certain that the product is all together. **************** has gone to c*** I will NOT order from this place again. I want the left shoe & then to be done with this business.

      Order # ********** On December 8, 2021 I made an order online with Finish Line for some **** Huaraches size **** for $129.00. I received the shoes on December 11, 2021. When I opened the package the shoes were too small, I looked at the size and they were a size 9. I immediately called to have a replacement sent out due to it being a Christmas gift for my husband. When I called not only was I on hold for 45 minutes waiting, I was informed that I was not able to receive any replacement until they received the shoes back to the warehouse. I asked if I returned them to a store or *** and they saw movement would they be able to send the order out right away. She said yes that she talked to her supervisor and he verified if he saw movement he would send it out and I would indeed receive the package before Christmas. I ended up asking to speak to a manager, and instead spoke to a supervisor and she apologized for the misunderstanding and said she was going to put in a replacement exception as long as I took the shoes to a *** the following day. She also credited me $20 off the original purchase and an extra $20 for a future purchase. She said I would have the new order number and tracking the next day sometime. I took the shoes on Thursday to a *** store and I called again and waited another hour on hold. I asked to speak to the same supervisor because I hadn' received any information about the new order or tracking. They said she wasn't working and that they would have her call me asap the following day. I waited and received no call the whole entire weekend. Today 12/20/2021 I called to speak to her. Was on hold another hour and was told that that supervisor was on the phone with someone and that the override was canceled and there was nothing they could do until they received the shoes back to the warehouse. I will not be repurchasing and one of the worst exp. ever

      I have received no call back from anybody, I even called a few times and waited on multiple 40-60min hold times. I wad also told my the supervisor she was taking $20.00 off of the order and I would receive it within 3-5 business days..I have yet to show any $20.00 refund on that purchase. I'd like that put through and taken care of like promised. When you depend on a company to come through during the holidays especially when it's their mistake. The least a company can do is compensate that person for the immense inconvenience it caused.That would of softened the situation. I've always purchased from finish line and so it was my first choice but you have helped me in deciding that it probably won't be in the future.

      I placed an order on a pair of joggers that I really wanted and I was sent the wrong pair. The joggers werent even identical to one another. I called twice to have the joggers sent to me, but I was told that the merchandise had to be returned first, even though it was a finish line employee who made the mistake sending the INCORRECT pair from the beginning. The joggers that I purchased was meant to go with a hoodie that I also purchased. Never ordering ordering online again because their employees dont pay enough attention when sending out orders, and it becomes an inconvenience for the costumer. Also the pair of joggers were meant for a Christmas gift, so its even more of a inconvenience because whos to say I will have the correct pair before Christmas. Not happy at all.

      On December 13 at 2 AM I ordered an ****** set with rush shipping, which on Finishline website rush shipping is two business days. Finishline doesnt open until 9 AM but when my order was submitted it said that this first order wouldnt be here until the 16th. Therefore I woke up at 8 AM and called corporate and they put in a cancellation for the first order and then I re-ordered the ****** set and did it for Xpress shipping and I did this at 8:19 AM. When I called corporate again at 11 AM to make sure that my cancellation went through for the first order I was told no cancellation request was made and then another cancellation request was made at that moment. Today is now December 14th and I did not receive an email stating that my package was sent out. The package that I put for Xpress shipping and express shipping its one business day meaning that my package was supposed to arrive today or tomorrow. So I called corporate again at 9 oclock and I was told that my package has not been sent out. Corporate didnt called finish line and finish line stated that my package was sent out but I do not believe that is the case considering I didnt receive an email about my package being sent out and when I log into my Finishline account it still says processing. At this moment I am fed up with finish line and I do not appreciate being lied to. This package (********** ) is a gift therefore I want it delivered by the 15th in the morning. And for the first order I want to make sure that it was canceled (**********).

      I ordered an item online and the wrong item was shipped to me. I called customer service to have the correct items shipped (express as I'm leaving town for the holidays) and they refused to ship a new item until they received the incorrect item back. My main complain is how I was treated and the lack of resolution. I was put on hole when asked to speak to a supervisor, after a 30 minute hold she came back on the line and said someone would call me back. I called again and spoke with a different rep who advised that I would need to call corporate and she gave me a bogus 800 number that gave me the run-around to purchase insurance, then ********* I called a third time and the agent gave me another number to corporate after refusing to ship the correct item, when I call corporate there is no option for complaints it just directs me back to customer service who then tells me to call corporate. I tried the online chat, that didn't work. I tried to submit an email directly to them and the email wouldn't go through. It's a shame that companies give consumers the run around in hopes to exhaust them so they will just go away. I wasn't asking for anything more than to just receive the product that I ordered and paid for and paid for shipping and to have the correct item on the date that I paid for it to arrive. The customer service unprofessionalism is shocking. I'll have to return the item and I'll never do business with finish line again. Obviously I can't get through to anyone who is willing to reimburse me for the item or the shipping and inconvenience that this has caused me. I understand mistakes happen but hire representatives that are capable of resolving problems. I probably wouldn't have logged this complaint if the representative didn't give me a fake number to corporate but that really crossed the line. The number I was provided is ************ in case someone with the company wants to dial it and feel the frustration.

      Finish Line's STATUS Rewards program offers exclusive access to certain users; I was notified I had received exclusive access to purchase the Air ****** 11 Cool Grey. However, I am unable to redeem the reward (waste of **** points ~$200) as the store they gave me access at is nearly 450 miles from where I am currently located, and nearly 100 miles away from the other address on file. I had been told that the location is predetermined through shopping patterns and availability, but the store I was assigned is 7 hours away from me and is "unable to be changed". I was told I could cancel the access but then the representative later backtracked saying I could not. Apparently I am also excluded from the online early access because it is limited to one pair per person (which I cannot even get?). I would like to purchase the shoes but it seems as though they do not want me to.

I called their customer service and they were really helpful and provided a return by mail authorization. (Return Reference# *********, RMA#R02040750). According to *** tracking the company received the shoes on October 25, 2021. I contacted them three weeks after that date asking for my refund, they said I needed to wait a couple more days. Today is December 6, 2021 and I haven't received my refund yet.
