NEVER buy from the TOMS website

NEVER buy from the TOMS website. I sent a return on 17th May and I'm still waiting for a refund. All their customer service can say is that it's because of Brexit.

I work for a brand that ships from the UK to the EU and we have no issues with returns, nor do we penalise our customers for our choice of warehouse location and hold onto their money for extended periods of time. How they process their returns to their warehouse should be of no concern or impact to their customers.

Very bad customer service

It takes ages to get your order delivered, I had to wait over two weeks, it turns out that the shoes were too small so had to return it, return process is awful, now my return is stuck somewhere in their Warehouse and they just don't put any efforts to find it , it's been over a month and I'm still waiting for refund, every time I've contact them they're saying they will deal with it but nothing is happening, their shoes are nice but the company customer service is a joke!!!
Update: after leaving a review on Trustpilot my refund was processed next day

Hi Monika,

Thank you for your review - we appreciate the feedback.

We can see that the order was shipped the next day and it appears there was a delay with UPS, which is of course very unfortunate. We state that the approximate delivery time is 5-6 business days, but due to Brexit regulations, delivery delays may occur.

Your refund request is being handled and our customer service team will process your refund today.

Our apologies again for the delay.

Mixed experience

Mixed experience - I ordered two pairs of shoes, one came as expected and are fine, but the other pair were completely different to what I had ordered. I flagged this up and asked to return the wrong pair in exchange for the right pair, and was sent a return label, however rather than doing a swap I have now been given a refund. I now probably won't buy the pair I originally wanted as too much hassle.

Overpriced shoes, dreadful service

Terrible customer service/delivery. Courier didn’t bother to try and deliver, and gave inaccurate and misleading info. Toms customer service couldn’t have been less interested - kept telling me to contact the courier. No. Contract is with seller - their responsibility to put things right. A dreadful company pretending to be ethical. Ruin fall on them.

Thank you for the reply, however it doesn’t address that the delivery company gave a false address for the pick up point, which meant I had a wasted journey in addition to their not actually trying to deliver in the first place. And it’s taken three weeks for you to acknowledge this properly and only because I wrote a review on Trustpilot. I’m still awaiting a refund for goods paid for but not received. Ask yourselves - would you buy from a company that treated its customers this badly?

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for your review - we appreciate the feedback. We're sorry to hear that UPS failed to deliver your order - we have raised a complaint with UPS.

Our customer service team have informed you that your order is at an access point. If the parcel is not collected, then it will be returned to sender. Unfortunately, we cannot request UPS to return the order to us, which is why our team said that you could try to contact UPS directly. We have asked UPS if they can re-deliver the order at your address. Our customer service team will keep you posted with any updates.

Our apologies again for this negative experience.

Hi Jane

Thanks for your review - we appreciate the feedback.

Please note that the return tracking will only show the journey until the return reaches the Cycleon hub in the UK. From there, it will be sent to our warehouse in The Netherlands. Due to Brexit regulations, this usually takes around 14 working days.

When you contacted our customer service team, your return had only been at the UK hub for 6 working days.

Our customer service team will be in touch with you today. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Best Experience

My experience was one of the best customer services that I have experienced in my 76 years! Prompt, polite and professional. I will certainly recommend the brand to others as they do not seem to fit me sadly.
Thank you TOMS.

Hi.
Thank you for your review - we appreciate the feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you feel our customer service team are unhelpful.
If we shipped out a different size than you ordered, we will always rectify the issue as the fault was on our side.

We've checked and we have sent you the UK sizes you ordered.

The size charts can be found in our FAQ section and also on the product pages. Women's and kids shoes do not have the same size conversion from UK to US sizes. Our apologies if you find our size charts to be misleading.

Replacement boots

Unfortunately when my Frankie boots arrived they had a hole where the stitching had come away from the elastic.

I emailed Toms customer services who were very quick to respond. I emailed some photos of the boots as requested and within a couple of days a new pair of boots were en route to me.

Really excellent customer service from Lysa! Thank you for your help.

REPREVE MALLOW BOOTS - unwearable

Recieved these boots as a christmas gift. Wore them once and cannot wear them again as they are so painful. Completley shredded the skin on the back of my heels and left me with huge blisters. Sizing is correct as I have checked sole against my other boots in the same size. The heel material has no give at all and will not soften over time, these boots are not fit for purpose. I have small narrow feet and have never experienced this kind of heel fit before.
There are a number of reviews stating the same problem.

Customer service is very unhelpful and only prepared to give a 40% refund on boots that cost £90 (10% discount) I am really dissapointed that I have gift I cannot wear or even replace with the money offered. I will never purchase from Toms again after this experience.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience.

Some shoes fit perfect out of the box and others will require the time to be worn in. We rely on our customers to keep the shoes only if they feel comfortable and they fit well in terms of shape and size.

Our customer service team have been in touch with you today and they received a confirmation that you agreed with an offer they made. We hope you will still be able to enjoy your TOMS shoes!

Probably the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Damaged order received and they don’t care.

Edit: I finally received a replacement order, and am currently awaiting UPS to collect the original order that was left in the rain. I have changed my rating from 1 star to 2 stars - I shouldn’t have to provide “sufficient” photos - the box was water logged and not delivered appropriately! Also, it shouldn’t take upwards of 10 emails and CC’ing the CEO email address to get a resolution for YOUR problem. Nice try Toms but you still missed the mark by a long long way! Future tip: the customer doesn’t care what you do with your courier - just fix the problem!

The customer service from this company is simply atrocious. I’ll preface this by saying I have placed several orders with Toms and never had an issue however when something goes wrong it’s clearly a case of tough luck! My order was delivered via UPS and left on my front doorstep in the pouring rain for 33 hours because we were away. There was no option to change the delivery until UPS had attempted delivery and UPS did not have authorisation to deliver without signature, but did so anyway, this should be a clear and simple fix. The shipping box and shoe boxes was water-logged being left out in the rain, uncovered for 33 hours.

Contacting TOMS customer service has been an exhausting experience. They do not take accountability for their courier companies failure. I simply asked for the order to be replaced, a very reasonable request given the circumstances of the delivery and clear evidence of UPS’ failure to deliver my order in a satisfactory quality. TOMS flat out refused to arrange a collection (“we don’t do collection”) they refused to replace my order (“we don’t replace orders”). Instead they have requested I arrange a return through their platform, and begrudgingly offered a refund. If I want the shoes that I ordered, I have to order again. This was a £130 order that I have to wait for a refund, reorder and pay £150 because the shoes no longer have the sale discount applied. The 15% discount in a future order, they eventually offer discount would still not make a new order the same price. I was further dismayed when I found that I was automatically offered a 15% discount when completing their survey - suffice to say the survey completion was scathing.

Utterly disgraceful customer service and a complete lack of care for an issue that is in no way my fault.

Hi Adam

Thank you for your review and we're sorry to hear that the parcel as left outside in the rain by UPS.

We have started an investigation with UPS in regards to the delivery issue. Since we didn't receive sufficient photos of the damage, we suggested that you could return your order and we would process an early refund, so you didn't need to wait for the return to reach our warehouse in The Netherlands. We also offered a 15% discount, which would have allowed you to re-order the same items at a slightly lower price. We have now replaced your order and we are waiting for the outcome of the UPS investigation.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused and we will contact you as soon as we've heard back from the courier.
