Why order thru Zappos website only for it to be filled by Amazon. I will not order from them again. I never had this issue before but it’s been a year since ordering from there website.

I would give a zero if I could. First pair of Hoka we bought busted in a month. Still waiting on refund 3 weeks later. Stupidly ordered from here again and order has been delayed 5 days and they won’t help. Only offer refund and then we wait again. My son is on his feet 60 hours a week and blistered feet. Disgusted at their lack of help and concern. If it were my biz I’d refund and stop order for customer and overnight a pair. Will never order from here again.

This is another bad review for Zappos. After receiving shoes a size 12 and 13 we finally received a refund but they FAILED to issue a refund for shipping charges on that order and because I liked the color I ordered again a size 13. The text rep told me she would refund all shipping charges. That hasn’t happened. Now I have to Siena more time pursuing their mistake.

I had ordered a pair of shoes in Dec 2025, assuming they would arrive by the date/time as mentioned on the email. Later I found out that the shipping was delayed and that the shoes would arrive when I would be on vacation. I called Zappos customer service and spent 30 mins requesting them to hold the package at a nearby UPS location. The agent took down my instructions and said he added a note asking the package to be held at the UPS store. Fast forward, 2 days later the package gets delivered to my house, while I am out of town. I called Zappos customer service to figure out what went wrong and the agent had such a condescending attitude; telling me nothing could be done now that the package is delivered. He said if I want I could call back in a week’s time; and talk to them asking for refund; if the package goes missing from being outside. He refused to help me in any other way. I had known Zappos to have had stellar customer service; not sure what happened. I won’t be ordering again from here.

I had heard mixed things about Zappos, but since they are an Amazon company I figured shopping and possibly returning would be simple.
Well I ordered a pair of shoes for my wife (same brand/model/size as a pair she already has but in a different color). They arrived and they were much smaller. Like probably a full size smaller, so I requested an RMA and was issued a UPS return label. We took them to UPS the same day.
The email I received claimed they did fast refunds (like Amazon) and that the refund would be issued immediately upon drop off.
It's now been a week and the shoes have already been delivered and Zappos customer service is telling me it will be another 10 to 30 days before I receive the refund.
Needles to say, I won't be ordering from them again. I truly believe the On Cloud shoes my wife received were seconds or defective because they absolutely were NOTA THE SAME SIZE. They were visually almost a half inch shorter and a quarter inch more narrow.

I am reporting an atrocious experience done by their own employee. For the record, my call was at around 1:30PM PST on 1/10/26.
Long story short, Amazon lost my package in transit, and it contained cold weather pants for an upcoming travel. I reached out and a refund was processed because the items were out of stock. Because I had received no refund confirmation, I called again to make sure my refund would be processed as I would like to go to a store to make another purchase.
The phone was answered by a mentally-ill, literal thug named Ruben, who kept on repeating information that I never needed instead of actually answering my question about the status of my refund. As he kept on wasting my time on useless questions due to his total absence of competence, I politely only replied with "yeah I just want the status of my refund, that's all." The agent proceeded to aggressively harass me by saying "yes Im just asking you questions, THERE'S NO REASON TO BE RUDE ABOUT IT", then laughed right after bullying me. The shock put me into a radio silent as I could not believe such an unprofessional, aggressive, and rotten human was hired as a customer-facing agent. Before the call ended, the last thing I received from this predatory human was a THREAT "your account is going to be banned." I didn't even have my question answered before Ruben aggresively hung up on me.
All of these atrocities just fueled by his malicious and rotten personality. I have dealt with several terrible customer services in the past, but nothing had gone even remotely close to this extreme misconduct. My first experience with Zappos was nothing other than not receiving my product and getting harassed. I don't understand why Zappos pays this sort of rotten human just to harass and threatens customers while never performing his duties.
My order and information are attached to this email address for any information the company needs from me.

Signed up for a promo code. Worked during testing, didn't complete payment. Went back to add more. Then the code didn't work anymore. Great job, Zappos. Got and lost a customer in record time. : )
EDIT: Wrong! The coupon worked when I tested it. Then when I went back, the item was no longer on sale, so it's cheaper on Amazon, even without the coupon. And your customer service in non-existent. There's no one to reach out to. Thanks for encouraging me to pay somewhere else!

They have really good pricing but when you go to return them, they take a month to return your money which is very ridiculous. Nobody does that so in the meantime, they’re using your money and a few times out by however many people they do that too. They’re making money a lot of it on interest people should go to the BBB and right reviews so you can see it before you buy it

Ordered a pair of shoes on December 30, 2025. Received confirmation and an estimated arrival date of Tuesday 06 2026. Tuesday morning got an email that my payment was declined. That is a lie. My bank did not decline any payment and the ahoes were suppose to arrive this afternoon. I also have a confirmation. They canceled the order day of arrival instead of having decent business practices and just letting me know they didn't have the shoes or my size. Terrible all around. This is my 1st and last time ordering from them

When it came time to order my clothing, the subsidy was not working and then when it works all the stuff in my cart is sold out, there was only one shirt in my size and canvass Carhartt's which I do not use, the customer service rep said you just need to use what is there, what there's nothing therein my sizes and the usual stuff I get, they done away with Tyndale as well , then I asked when would clothing restock, she didn't know she said maybe 3 weeks or 3 months is what she said, she wasn't helpful at all she was kind of rude

Placed an order and sat processing for nearly 10 days. Was told it was not shipping, asked for a refund. Received a refund and bought elsewhere. Zappos order has now shipped supposedly but no movement on it.
Update: zappos followed up and made the situation right. I will be giving them another chance.

Returning an item was a major, major headache. Why do I have to argue, then ask for a manager, to get a USPS return label, when their site clearly states they offer that option? Waiting many weeks and still have not received my refund. Will never order from them again.

Placed an order for my Grandson for Christmas, claimed delivered 12/16, my husband home all day and it never arrived. (confirmed with Ring Camera) Amazon email states delivered 12/17. When I chat with Zappos they mentioned I should have a picture, informed them I didn't receive a picture with my email.

I had to return a pair of boots because they didn't fit. They received back my item on the 4th of December and still no refund. Upon contacting the customer service I was told that they haven't received the packet, but I have the proof of delivery that they did. Customer service was not helpful at all. Now I wait a couple of days then I will contact my bank. This is absolutely ridicolous. How they can deny that they received my packet when there is proof of that. Got an email from them saying that my bank refused the refund on 11/29. At the time my return was still in transit , but most of all why my bank should refuse a refund? So at this point I need to call my bank to ask for explanation. This is getting more and more ridicolous. I returned my item and lost my money. I will never do business with them again!!

I ordered 2 medium jackets and got an email about needing to change payment method. I changed payment method but they changed the sizes to large. I received large jackets and they were too big. I called CS and they said the medium sizes were out of stock so I returned them. That was 13 days ago, Zappos has received the return and I still don't have my refund. Customer Service is disappointing, very slow with chat and texting, and says the refund could take up to 3O days, or longer,in order to prevent duplicate refunds.They certainly didn't take that long to charge my card! Not a good explanation or reason to hold refunds. One and done with Zappos. Maybe they are just good at providing work shows. Smh ...

I reordered the same shoes using a different credit card, 2 dyas later I get an email that it was canceled also, same excuse. I am done !!

I ordered shoes for a trip to Germany. I received a confirmation of my order and an estimated delivery date. Then I received an email that my shoes would arrive 11/19 and giving me tracking info. When they hadn't arrived by 11/20, I called. First I was told I had canceled the order. When I denied that, then I was told they had canceled the order because they didn't have the shoe. When I asked why no one emailed me about the cancellation, they said it was an oversight. Then I asked why I had received an email with a delivery date if the order had been canceled. No explanation for that. Now I don't have enough time to find another shoe before I depart.

I placed an Order: 114-3575324-5658652 , on Saturday, Nov 08, 2025
but then my order was cancelled no reason, I received email "Due to billing issues, we have cancelled your order and put a hold on your account."
I requested to explain what is the reason, by replying to email csorders(at)support.zappos.com, but 5 days no answer.
Updated November 17, 2025: I received an email from Zappos stating that my account was blocked and my order was canceled. No explanation. Terrible experience. I would not recommend them to anyone. Incompetent customer service with no customer service focus.

I had a great shopping experience, and the shoes where the hit of the party. I was just sad to find out that the shoes were coming from Tennessee, meaning I inadvertently supported a state with TERRIBLE human rights protections, and the shipment came through Amazon, who treats their employees terribly. Aside form where my money went, it was great. Never again though. I'll do better research next time.
