The Saks Fifth Avenue online customer service representatives were very rude, not polite and unprofessional. They argued with the customer and literarily hung up the phone on the customer.
I ordered a pair of ladies' shoes online during the Saks Fifth Avenue Product Preview Online order through Saks.com. The shoe description online says Made In Italy which was one of the factors that prompted me to buy the shoe. When I received the shoes, it was not made in Italy. The shoes were Made in Spain, in addition, the shoes ran larger in sizes than the normal sizes. The shoes were literarily falling off my feet. So, I went to another store (not a Saks store) that has the shoes on display in their store. I asked to try my normal size in that shoe. The man at that store immediately told me no these shoes runs larger than normal you will need a smaller size than you normally wear. So, he brought me a half size smaller than my regular size and I tried those smaller sizes on, they fit perfectly. I thanked the man and told him that I will go to Saks Fifth Avenue to Exchange the shoes for a smaller size.
So, I called Saks Fifth Avenue customer service at 1-877-551-7257 and explained the issues. The Saks customer service promised me that I can Exchange the shoes for the correct size with no problem and that they will Honor the price that I paid for the first shoes. He gave a case number for the issues and told me to go and return the unfit shoes to the Saks Fifth Avenue store. After the return, I should call the Saks Fifth Avenue customer service back, give them my case number and that Saks will "Honor" my product preview price. So, on Monday, September 10, 2024, I returned the shoes to the Saks Fifth Avenue store and obtained a return receipt. I then called Saks customer service back and gave them the case number to re-order the shoes, the Saks customer service REFUSED to Honor my Product Preview price and they refused to refund my shipping price. The Saks customer service representatives were arguing with me, blaming me for everything, telling me there was nothing wrong with the shoes that I returned. The shoes that were literarily falling off my feet. At one point they told me that I did not return the shoes to the store. Then they told me to email them a copy of the Return receipt that the store gave me. I again emailed the "Return Receipt" to the Saks customer service, the guy still refused to honor the price to re-order the shoes in the correct price and size. He then told me oh, I should go and register as a Saks customer on Saks website so that his supervisor will see my profile that I am a SAKS customer and then they will honor my Exchange price and re-order the shoes. I registered on the Saks website as a customer while the Saks Rep was on the telephone with me, after this the guy put me on a long Hold and then came back and told me that oh, I should go ahead and re-order the shoes myself for full price and then submit a request to them to REVIEW my request to honor the exchange price, and that if they approve it, I will get the price difference back, if they did not approve it, I will not get the price difference back. Today is Thursday night, September 12, 2024, I need these shoes for my event next week and yet Saks Fifth Avenue has not ordered my exchange shoes and REFUSED to honor my product preview price that I paid for the original shoe. This was my first time of ordering anything from Saks website. I will NEVER ORDER anything from Saks Fifth Avenue again and I will not recommend Saks.com to anyone.
