"The WORST!!!!
Ordered a week ago. Was from an 'in stock' item. Called to get tracking info they said the couldn't. Turns out when you scream enough you get answers. They lied. It was never in stock. They charged my card immediately and never told me it wasn't in stock. Then tried to re order the boot from manufacturer hoping I wouldn't ever call to ask about it. Shop Elsewhere!!!!"
"Wow....I learned my lesson...I should have read all these reviews before I placed an order. I'm so used to Amazon....it was a rude awakening. It almost seems like somebody runs this out of their home with a fancy website. They take your order, then worry about finding the boots somewhere. Customer service is PATHETIC AT BEST. In fact I emailed and the email reply was borderline rude. So I call today saying I wanted to cancel my order and they said you can't , it has already shipped. I ask why I was not notified and they said sometimes their computers mess up! I just pray to God these boots fit because I can only imagine what it would be like to get a return of your money."
"I purchased a pair of boots from OnlineBootStore.com and found the experience "acceptable". Their service people are personable and friendly, and tell you quite clearly the status of your order. The problem is that they take way too long to process and ship your boots. I returned the first pair because they were too large and went through the lengthy process again. But I eventually received the right size and am very happy with great boots at a great price. I like their selection and prices a lot and would order from them again. But be forwarned that you have to be EXTREMELY patient."
"this has to be the worst anything i have ever received online. i purchased a pair of boots from these people and call today (2 days later) and asked if i could get any tracking information. i was told that i would probably get the boots before i get any tracking information (I paid an extra $30 to have express delivery). the woman i spoke with for customer service was extremely poor. she didnt listen and only repeated the same thing over and over as i tried to get information about my order. NEVER AGAIN and DO NOT purchase anything from these people. find a good store to purchase from that isnt going to run you in circles and actually has their information together and decent customer service. im going to the dentist to have a couple root canals without anesthesia just to try to forget about this.
So I write this review and post it. About an hour later they cancel my order. What a joke."
"I wish I would have looked up reviews prior to ordering from OnlineBootStore.com. Service and communication was horrible. Processing time took 14 days for an item that was listed as in-stock. And after multiple phone calls and an email, they didn't even bother to upgrade the shipping for free, which would have been great customer service. Avoid ordering from this store, especially if you need a product by a certain date! They did have the best price on the boots I ordered, but only by a few dollars. Those few dollars would have been better spent at a store with better customer service and satisfaction."
"I placed my order, was informed it was in stock and would ship in a day or two. About 10-12 days later I was told it had been on back order but had shipped the day before. 10-12 days after that, I finally received my order. They had the lowest price and I did eventually receive my order; I'm just glad I was able to wait over 3 weeks for it. I've read many negative reviews about Online Boot Store and most of them are about not receiving orders on time. I truly believe they intentionally deceive the customer regarding in stock/back ordered items."
"Worst Customer Service Experience!
I placed an or on 03/16/13 and was sent the wrong size. The boots were promptly returned but it took until 05/10/13 to get the right size. I heard several different excuses and was told the manager would call me back which he never did. I finally spoke to him after waiting a while on hold and he promised to ship the boots by 2nd day air as soon as he received them but they were finally sent UPS ground. They could not have cared less."
"i returned my item via ups paying an additional $19.73 to make sure it got back to the onlinebootstore and had tracking info for my records. item was delivered/recd by onlinebootstore on 4/10 and as of this post (5/7/13) I am still awaiting my monetary refund. i recd 4 emails from their cust service making excuses and I also left message for owner or manager but did not get a call back. It should not take 30 days to get my money back. I have since filed a claim with the Wisconsin BBB and filed a claim with Paypal which is the pay service i used to purchase the item. Their internal return policy does not state that it will take 30 or more days to give you a refund. dont buy from them unless you know for sure you will keep the item."
"The worst online retailer I have done business with in the last 8 years. Took over a week to ship the order. Received the correct size but it didn't fit. Returned and they received on 4/1 (UPS confirmation). Emailed 2 weeks ago and they claimed to be backed up in the returns department. Still no refund as of today (4/28). Called the credit card company to start a dispute. If they don't respond to the credit card company I get my money back. If they do, I get my money back.
1- Don't use this company, they are terrible.
2- If you do use this company, use a credit card with a good dispute resolution service because you'll probably need it!"
"I ordered a Sz 9 boot, got an 8 inside a box marked 9. It's pretty bad when they can't make sure they're sending out the right Sz. Then, on top of the wrong Sz boot one of the boot had a big tear in the inside. I shipped them back and after a few calls and a run around I'm told the boots I sent back were in the managers desk and he thinks I had worn them. I finely got my money back and I think it was due to me filing a despite with Pay Pal. The scamers didn't refund any if the shipping cost which was $15.00 even though they were the ones at fault. I will not ever deal with these scamers again. BUYER BEWARE!!"
"I absolutely love this company. Ignore the negative reviews. I called the company before I placed my order and made sure I understood their policies. The young lady that I spoke with was very nice in very informative. When she informed me that the boot I wanted wasn't available, she helled me find another. I had the boots in 5 days. Great prices, great customer service, nice friendly reps. Their website specifically says 6-12 days to get them and the shipping is free!!!!!!!! why are you complaining when it is free!!!!! LOVE THEM!"
"Placed my order on 2-16-13. Item still has not shipped and today is 2-25. Customer service can't tell me why, evidently this is normal for them. Based on the numerous bad reviews I have NOW read, I see this is standard practice to have bad service. The website IMPLIES the processing time on their part is only 1-2 days, BUT it is NOT... they pad the extra days they delay into the time they quote as "UPS Shipping" time!! So, if you're counting on UPS to do their job like they always do (2-4 days), your order will still be in the warehouse when you think it is on it' s way to you! Shame on your management for the deceptive practice and poor customer service. If your "Processing" takes a week- JUST SAY IT!!"
"All I can say is OMG!!!! Do yourself a favor and pay twice the price at another retailer. The WORST online site ever. Worst customer service ever. I ordered a boot in a size 9w and received a 7m. If you need to exchange something be prepared to wait at least 5 weeks for the new ones to come. This place should be shut down and I am very surprised that it isnt."
"Did not receive the item...awful customer service!!!"
"Order came in a little over two weeks and I was alright with that considering the holidays. Then I tried them on and they were to small. I have another pair of boots of the same brand. Oh well.. So I sent in for exchange for next size up. It has been 17 days and finally called for an update as they have had them since the 22nd of January and it is as of writing this the 8th of February. I was told they just now have gotten to them and I should expect my new boots in two more weeks!!! Never purchasing from them again. They did have the best price I could find but would gladly pay more next time for better customer service. Just wish I found this website sooner."
