“Online order handled perfectly”

Ken R.
12/20/23

A number of negative reviews on here, but our transaction was perfect. We placed an online order for a Nike sweatshirt (in a style/size/color out of stock everywhere else) on 12/12. Our purchase qualified for free shipping. FedEx received the package on 12/13 and delivered it here in Ohio on 12/18. We are completely satisfied.

“Returns are overly complicated”

Patricia W.
3/5/24

I purchased a pair of Skechers shoes for my mom (88yo) that she had tried on in a store. I ordered them from WSS because they were significantly cheaper. The shoes we received were too tight for her, and so we wanted to return them. In order to return them they want verification from you that the product is in the exact same condition that you received them (i.e. Unworn, unaltered, etc.) except that they fail to indicate what meets their criteria for verification. In reality there is no way to actually verify this information. It just seemed like a way to delay processing a refund. Next time I will order from a company that has a better return policy.

FedEx delivered my package to my complex but to the wrong address and apartment number. After reading everyone's reviews, I realized this is a common practice of WSS. I contacted both companies and suggested reviewing the driver's GPS for that day. I also submitted photos (comparing the doormat), clearly showing the doormat isn't mine. The red-flagged customer service never provided a case number at the end of the conversation. After several calls, I was informed by customer service FedEx had denied their claim and that there was nothing they could do regarding issuing a refund. There is no escalation department to investigate this matter further. Ultimately, I was advised to contact PayPal and have them issue the refund. I will never deal with this company again. It's not worth the time and money or being inconvenient.

Tip for consumers:
Shut the website down. They are a big scam with their business tactics.

On Black Friday I ordered 2 Hunter Green Nike Air Hoodies. They took my money. And said they shipt them and that they were delivered. They put the wrong address and said I needed to call FedEx both are refusing to give me my money or the items. The confirmation email I got even said an B address that dosent exist in my townhouse complex. So in don't know where they sent it. Also while speaking to them and asking for a refund or the items. They took 30 minutes to put a supervisor on and when they finalize did he was like it's your fault and we can not replace nor refund it was delivered. I kept explaining they missed a few numbers but he didn't care. So unprofessional.i can show the debit and receipt that I purchased what I did. I've never heard of a company doing this or making me go through the delivery service. For my refund. So they stole 105.00 from me and that is why I feel it's a scam.

I had been looking for adidas 3.0 shoes for men and found the pair I was looking for on shopwss. Prices were comparable with other sites including amazon, but then they were offering a second pair of the same shoes for $99 for both, which was a great buy... got my shoes today... shipping took longer than I would have expected from amazon or dhh, but I am really happy.

I ordered boots for my granddaughter they were not at all true to size. I returned them and ordered two more pair, 2 and 3 sizes bigger than she needs. The smaller pair were still to small. Bought these end of November for Christmas. Today, I asked to return them, and I was denied due to the 30 day policy expiring. No grace for Christmas gifts. The entire return policy here is awful. Even in trying to return the first pair I ordered, you cannot return through the brick and mortar store. It has to be by mail. Inconvenient. I won't be ordering here again.

Tip for consumers:
Return policy sucks

Do not order from this company. They rip you off. I bought 2 pair of boots on sale that were too small. They were supposed to swap about for a bigger size. Instead, they gave me my money back and told Me I needed to rebuy them both at the full price. Even though I already purchased them At a sale price with other things that I kept. If they think i'm gonna give full price for something that I already paid a sale price for their crazy. This is one of the companies we need to boycott and never order from because they're stealing our money just like the chinese are stealing our freedoms.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this company

Return policy Sucks! This Policy benefits the store and not the consumers.This practices keeps the money in their pocket. New shoes yet never wearn! Size was too small one of my foot smaller then the other due to swallowing after surgery, which was a medical reason as well,and WHY I went over the 30days, as the shoes was given to me as a gift so the person didn't know. WSS Store didn't care which showed lack of empathy on their part! ($$$$ hungry)You will never get my Business Again!

I bought a pair of shoes for over retail since they charge 8%+ for Tax and received a pair of dirty used shoes which also had a cut on the leather and the dirty spots can go unnoticeable but i payed for a brand new pair of shoes, not a used pair. There was a blue stain on the shoe that annoyed me because I have shoe cleaner product and it still wouldn't come out, and the shoe seems like it's lifting and the glue is visible in some areas.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t buy from this site, and if you buy in person make sure to check that the shoes are to your standards.

I'm a USMC Veteran & I've had several foot surgeries & was recommended by my surgeon to wear New balance shoes. I purchased shoes from WSS the shoe rubber separated from the sole W/I 2 mths by no fault of mine & they wouldn't replace the defective shoes. I understand the 30 dy return but they were defective you could see they weren't attached properly. Sad situation. I'll go elsewhere from here on out. These were purchased from the store in Corona California

Not a bad selection, but the music was so loud, I had to pretty much yell at my sin about the shoes, as well as the cashier. They couldn't even hear me tell them my information.

I ordered 2 pairs of champion slippers (45$ ech) and a pair of shoes for my son. It came in 3 separate boxes spread out over a 2 weeks. First box said all items would be in box one so i thought i got scammed but i got it all at a great price, too. It eventually ended up coming! I did use PayPal like other reviewers said to do.
