      On 11/26/21 and 11/30/21 I placed orders with Finish Line the first order number is ********** and the second order number is *********. I reached out to the store on 12/1 because my order were all seperted the first order from the 11/26 there were only two items and the order from 11/30 there were 9 items in that order. I received the 1 item from order number ********** and 2 items from the second order that was placed several days after the first order. The second item in order number ********** came 12/02 via **** and not *** like promised. Now the second order I called the toll free number at ************ on 12/1 because I advised that i was calling in reference to order number ********* she states I assure that the items will be shipped she not sure why they all have different delivery dates. She rushed me off the phone. I had an item that should have arrived today 12/3 from this order men champion slipper size 10 and it did not. When tracking the package its says still waiting on the package. I called on 12/03 and spoke with a representative who advise the item was lost and she says that I can refund the item and I advised I did not ask for a refund and she says well i will put in for a replacement and I advise never recieved the tracking number for the 1st order and she says I ***** send to you and sent a return label. I then called back to make sure this girl did not cancel my order I spoke with a rep by the name of **** very ignorant and rude person acting like she did not want to be at work kept asking me for my name never ask for the order number> i advise it the name on the order she said you did not give me an order number so how would i know your name. But from previous experience of calling I know my information auto populates and from being in customer service. So i provided the order number she kept with the ignorance, i was speakaing to a co worker on my other phone and she jumped in being rude. I educated her on how a rep is suppose to act.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

      Good Evening

      I just wanted to let you know that I spoke with ********, she sent me an email and think she was ***et that I contacted you. I advise via email that I file the compalint before corporate got invovled. I also have the same information that she provided to you in the response via the same email. When selecting that Order number to track the package however it is still saying the information as was provided previously with the old order number. When going online to Finish Line with the new order id number no expected delivery date is furnished nor visible. The attachment above is from *** website and that is the tracking info that was sent to me ******** and the same info on the web. Once that was placed in the system it is still saaying the same as before label created. Rhiana escalation supervisor me that she was staying on the phone with store while they prepare that package and get it ready to hand off to ***. Everybody promised to follow up within ***** hours I have yet to receive a phone call from them but I did receive an email that felt like ouch what did I do wrong and that the company was disappointed that I contacted the BBB.  As you can see the email and tracking info from *** this package was promised on the 3rd i never received it and then on the 5th, then the 6th, and after the 6th they removed any promised to deliver date. I never knew any packages were coming on the first I never received any tracking info and the two slippers size **** i was told that they are drop shipment and should have been here 2 weeks from 11/30/2021 and the tracking info updated within 5 days that they were going to contact the manufacture for an update. I have yet to hear anything. Because these are Xmas gifts neither of the 3 remaining items can not be cancelled when checking the website those will not arrive in time for Xmas. The shipping date keeps changing and the **** pair of slippers size 10 never made it to residence all items was placed in my garage and the *** driver who familiar with my residence always knocks on my door to let me know he either has a package for or he is leaving a package for me and went out immediately after he knocked. My packages were in the garage and I had my eldest son to pick them up and bring them in the house. The same day I had several boxes delivered via Amazon as well. Finish Line should have sent the order all together instead of 1 piece one day, two pieces the next day, and by me calling I received 4 items one day because each items was suppose to ship from **** until ***** well as you can see we are here.

      Regards,

      I purchased a pair of **** Space Hippie in-store to be shipped to my home. Once I received the shoe box, only one single of shoe was inside the box. I called to explain the issue and was told to send the shoe back to with the shipping label provided. I sent to shoes back but never received my refund after 1 month. I called customer service again and a check was sent in the amount of $119.00 not $130.00 that I paid for the shoes. I have called every month since June 2021 about the issue to have a check sent out to correct the issue, but I still do not have a resolution. This is the 4th time I have contacted Finish Line, but have not received my full refund. I still have not received the check for my refund after waiting over 4 months. You keep sending the same generic email saying you will place the check in the mail, but I never received the check. This company has the one of the worst customer service, that I have every experienced. I do not understand why the company will not refund my $20 due to me that is rightfully due. Also, your customer care should check with the customer to verify if I actually received my refund.
