      I have made multiple returns and had to follow up to request a refund. I have tracking info on each return and confirmed they were received. This is the third or fourth time I've had this issue

      I am writing to formally file a complaint against Converse, Inc. concerning the mishandling of my recent order and the subsequent lack of communication and resolution.Order Details:Order Number: ********* Order Date: February 23, 2025 Item Ordered: ***** 70 Leopard Remix, Size 8.5 Item Received: Size 8 Upon receiving the incorrect size, I promptly contacted Converse's customer service. I was assured that the correct size (8.5) was available and was provided with a return shipping label. However, after weeks without any update or delivery, I followed up and was informed that my order had been canceled without any prior notification via email or otherwise. Had I not reached out, I would not have known the order had been canceled.Subsequently, I was told that a refund had been issued to my credit card, again without any confirmation. Despite several follow-up calls seeking a resolutionwhether locating the item in another store, offering the same style in a different color/size, or providing any form of compensationI was told that none of these were options. I was also informed that the item was now out of stock and no longer available.I even attempted to locate the sneakers myself by contacting various stores, only to find that while some had the item in stock, they were outside my region and unable to ship.I finally received notice of the cancellation on March 19, 2025only after I had called several times. This entire experience has been both frustrating and disappointing, especially as a loyal customer who regularly supports the ******************** brand.Desired Resolution: I am respectfully requesting compensation for the inconvenience, lack of communication, and time lost. If I had been informed upfront that the item was unavailable, I would have kept the original size or considered other options.I hope this is an isolated issue and not reflective of Converse's usual customer service standards. I look forward to your prompt response and a fair resolution.

      On 11/25/2024 I placed an order with Converse for 4 pairs of sneakers using a $100 gift card. The original order was to be $99. From that order, I received none of the sneakers. (1 cancelled by them for low inventory, 3 were returned due to sizing and they could not replace the shoes.) So on 12/10/24, I was told I would receive a full refund on an E gift card. I have contacted Converse on the following dates (and times) regarding this matter:12/2, 7:30pm(via website chat)12/10, 5:00pm (phone)12/14. (Website chat)1/22/25 6:35pm ( phone)1/23/25 - received ONLY $24.98 via E-card at 7:00 1/31/25, 4:33pm (phone)2/7/25, 7:30pm 2/20/25 4:15pm (phone) Have been promised the remaining $54.96 since the 1/31/25 call and stiull have not received it. I even gave them a different email from my account one 3 times and have not received it.I have worn Converse for 45 years and this is ridiculous. Trying to return to them since they were bought by **** but this has soured my taste. I still just want my $100 gift card restored!!!!

      ************************ promised me a refund as shown in the email (attachment), but they still have not issued a refund. It has been passed over 1 month. The items have been returned and delivered to their designated address for return. I called their customer service twice, and they promised me a refund, but I still have not received it. I called them again, and they just bluntly said to contact ****** (payment method). ****** has already contacted them, but they do not respond to them.

      I placed an order on ************************ on 11/28/2024. After receiving the order I found two pairs of shoes I bought were the wrong size. I called the customer service department to initiate an exchange for the two pair of shoes around 12/18/24. I received an email for the return receipt on 12/21/24. I returned the shoes and was sent an email from ************************ saying my return was being processed. On 12/31/24, I went on ************************ to check the status of my return and noticed that one of exchanged shoe sizes was incorrectly put in by the customer agent. The order had not been sent out yet so I called customer service to correct the size. They would not correct the size bc it was an exchange even though it was their mistake. After speaking with an unhelpful manager I requested a refund. I was told that they would be issuing me a refund and I would get an email when the refund was processed in 7 to 10 days. On 1/8/2025, I still had not received an email pertaining to my refund so I called the customer service department back again. This customer service agent told me that I should receive an email for the refund by 1/10/2025 then ****** would issue a refund in 10 to 14 days. As of 1/16/2025, I have not received an email from ************************ saying the refund has been initiated. At this point, they have the shoes I returned and still have my money. This is theft. I would like my refund for the two pair of shoes I returned immediately.

      On Saturday, Jan. 4 at 4:13 a.m. Eastern time, I placed an online order (#*********) with Converse for three items: a Varsity jacket, a pair of ***** 70 De Luxe Heel ****************** and a pair of ***** 70 De Luxe Heel. By 10:45 a.m. Eastern time, I received an email from Converse that the two pairs of shoes had been shipped.On Friday, Jan. 10, I received a message that the shoes had been delivered by ***. I was at home. *** provided a blurry delivery photo of a row of townhomes, but it did not show where the package was left. I immediately checked and confirmed that the package was not delivered. I attempted to file a claim with **** but I received a message that Converse has placed restrictions on claims and I had to reach out to them directly.I initiated a chat message. The chat timed out and closed after the representative placed me on hold to "investigate" the issue. In the second chat, the representative advised me to wait and follow up later as tracking indicated that the package was en route.I confirmed that not only had I received a delivery confirmation from ***, I also received an email from Converse claiming that the first package had been delivered. It has not. It is neither with me nor is it with my neighbors.

      Converse is continuing to hold back refunds for returns that were made in November. They keep telling me the same excuse of a system error for over a month and yet doesn't not manually refund my account when they have the capability to. They keep promising a return every week and it's been several weeks with the same excuse and refusing to actually refund my money. This is unacceptable to have the item and keep the money with no resolution for weeks on end and clearly no solution in sight.

      I returned an item I purchased online on November 22nd. I received the item on December 2nd, but the item did not fit, so I returned it December 3rd. The item was received by the company on December 5th. I have not received a refund yet.I am launching a compliant because I had a similar issue with another product I returned and it took several calls to get my refund because they kept saying it is delayed, but could give me a timeline of when I should receive a refund. It had been nearly a month when this first return happened. I dont want to deal with several calls to the company to get my refund for this order.
