Drove over an hour to the closest Zumiez to return something that was purchased online. Took the…read moreunworn with tags pair of jeans back to the store within the 30-day return period with a receipt. We no longer have the original form of payment; the credit card is closed. The salesperson refused the return because we did not have the original form of payment. Their online return policy says that if the original form of payment is not available, then a merchandise credit would be issued. This would have been fine, but the salesperson refused. He would only allow us to exchange the item on the spot. We did not want anything else in the store at the time. Now we are stuck with an over $100 item that does not fit or work for us at all. Zumiez can fix this by taking the return according to their own return policy as of the day we attempted to return the item. Otherwise, no more Zumiez because they do not follow their own policies.

Very weird Zumiez. I'm accustomed to the Zumiez location in Potomac Mills in Woodbridge where the…read moreemployees are a little more proactive about helping you find things. There's usually music playing but at this location it's dead silent, and the dreadlocked employee working there silently stared at me and said nothing while I perused their shoe selection. Weirdly hostile vibe for a store that's usually very upbeat and fun to shop at. Their other employee, the shorter one in the Creature t-shirt, seemed nice enough. Probably wouldn't come back to this location.

I like this location as I have been here on several occasions but our last visit solidified why I do not mind coming into the store. My daughter got a pair of jeans from here last week and we needed to bring them back. After doing looking at all the options and trying a few pair on, she found the ones she wanted. Several , yes several associates offered assistance throughout our time in the store, which is greatly appreciated and definitely does not go unnoticed. Once we realized they did not have her size in store, the gentleman who helped us offered to go in the back and see if they had the size she needed. Unfortunately they did not but they did offer to order them and send them to us, free shipping while also honoring them at the same price because they were part of the buy one get on 50% off. Talk about great customer service!! The store is always clean and well organized so you do not have to dig and dash through things to find what you are looking for. They also have a clearance section in the back of the store which is worth consideration because it always hosts few gems here and there. If you come here often, it is so worth it to sign up for their rewards program if for nothing else once you buy five pairs on jeans you get a pair for free.
