      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Thank you for your well thought out response. I understand that your system doesn't automatically provide the customer with the best way to match the ***** I don't think that punishing customers for a larger order is a good way to run a business and it is in this day of technology not something that would be difficult to fix to provide the customer with an honest BOGO discount. I'm sure that I'm not the first one to bring this to your company's attention and I assume the reason your company doesn't address the issue is because taking advantage of customers is worth more to you than doing business in an upfront and honest way.

      I appreciate the offer to fix my BOGO discount but I'm not interested in that. I'm just disappointed that a store I used to enjoy shopping at treats customers like that to boost profits.


      Sincerely,

      ****** *******

      Hello ******,

      Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us through the BBB.

      In the event of a BOGO **% sale, the **% discount will apply to equal or lesser value items. Currently our system is not set up to group items together by price point, though I do recognize how much this would simplify and improve the experience of our customers. As of right now, the only way to ensure that you would get **% off of a $** pair and an $** pair, would be to split your purchase into two transactions. 

      We understand the frustration this may cause, I apologize on behalf of ****** that you were not notified of this prior to completing the purchase. 

      I will forward your feedback to our in-store experience team, this will be valuable insight when considering the redevelopment of in-store transaction processes. 

      If you would like, I would be happy to coordinate a price adjustment in the store, or a gift card for you to use on a future purchase.

      Please let us know which of these options you would prefer, or if there is anything else you had in mind. 

       

      Kind Regards,

      ***

      I am writing this email out of sheer frustration with the appalling service Ive received regarding a pair of ********** shoes I purchased on October ***, 2024 from your Marks store at ********************************** (Store ***). The shoes cost me $******, and I expected them to meet the quality standards associated with both Marks and Blundstone. Unfortunately, they didnt even come close.After wearing the shoes once, I discovered a manufacturer defect on the top, and because of this, I havent worn them since. I returned to the store on October ***, assuming I could simply explain the situation and have the issue resolved. Instead, I was met with resistance right from the start. The store staff refused to accept the return, despite it being obvious that this was a manufacturer issue, not wear and tear. They took photos of the shoes and I even left the shoes and the original receipt with them, trusting that some level of common sense would prevail when this was reviewed by someone in charge.Yesterday, I received a call from the store informing me that they will not be accepting the return. Frankly, this response is insulting and absolutely unacceptable. I contacted ********** directly, and they were clear: this is a manufacturer defect, and the shoes should have been accepted for return since they are in new condition.I spent $****** on these shoes for work, and I expect a product that actually functions as intended. Instead, Im left with a defective pair that I cant wear, and Ive been given the runaround by your staff. This whole experience has been a waste of my time and energy, and Im not going to let it slide.

      I was asked by Marks as follows;

      Hello *******

      Thank you for contacting us. I am sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing with the shoes you purchased form our ***** ***** store.
      Our warranty period is *** days from the date of purchase for any manufacturer defects, I do apologize that were misinformed about this when you purchased the shoes and would like to find a resolution for you.
      Please provide photos of the shoes and a copy of the receipt if you have this, and we will pass these to the footwear team to review and respond.
      Please include a full view of the soles and uppers, the tag on the inside of the tongue, and the problem area.
      Sincerely,
      ***** L
      ----------------------------------
      I have replied back with three attachments as follows;

      Hello ***** L,

      Thank you for your response, and I apologize for the delay as I was out of town for work.

      As requested, I have attached photos of both the left and right shoes, clearly showing where they are torn, as well as a copy of the receipt for your reference.

      I understand the ***-day return policy; however, my concern is that both my wife and I were informed by your representative that the shoes could be replaced within a year. I would appreciate clarification on this matter.

      Thank you for your attention to this issue. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.

      Best regards,
      ******* ****
      ******************************************************************************
      ************On the morning of September ***, the store manager contacted me but denied that her staff would have made such a statement regarding the replacement policy and refused to replace the shoes. I reiterated that this issue is not about the $** but about the integrity of the stores commitment. It feels as though my honesty is being questioned, which is distressing. I asked ******* twice about the policy on the day of purchase, and it is now being denied. The manager inquired why I did not get this in writing, but verbal confirmation is typically considered sufficient when shopping at a reputable store.I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter. I believe I have been treated unfairly, and I am disappointed by the lack of accountability in this situation. This is not a financial issue but one of principlehonoring the commitments made to customers. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this issue.Sincerely,******* ****

      Hi there, 

      This customer reached out to the ******************** **************** team directly regarding this situation on Monday, September ***, 2024.  One of our **************** Agents received the feedback from the customer and replied to the customer on Tuesday, September 10th asking for a bit more information regarding the footwear.  We have just checked the case file and have not received a response from the customer yet.  The e-mail we have on file is ***************************************.  We are eager and willing to work with the customer to resolve this situation with them and provide a way for them to get a replacement pair of the footwear in question.  We will follow up with the customer by the end of the week this week if we still have not heard from them so we can work with them to resolve the situation.  

      Let us know if you require anything further from us at this time.   Thanks!

      Sincerely,
