I bought some Vans from a store in Allen, Texas because they were having a buy one get one 50% off sale and my husband loves the shoes. I bought them right before leaving the country.. and being out of town for 3 weeks. I finally had the opportunity to attempt to return them since I was told if I bought them at a store, I'd have to return them in a store. Well let's just say I didn't have a good experience. The "manager" (if that's what he was) told me I couldn't return them and could do an even exchange. I told him I wore them once before leaving and they hurt the heel of my feet, why would I want an even exchange for shoes that hurt? Well, it was a no- go. He said they definitely weren't worn once.. and couldn't allow me to return them. I ended up taking the shoes, because I won't buy another pair to only hurt my feet more. I called Vans customer services immediately when I left the store, spoke to a lovely person named Shari who was willing to help, sent in photos of my shoes & got my return completed.
Glad there was true customer service there. read more
