Complete scam! They claim to accept returns 365 days a year but don’t tell you if it is after 30 days you WILL NOT receive your Amazon credit back. Just returned a pair for my 2025 credit, brand new in the box and was told I won’t be receiving my credit because it’s been more than 30 days.

I have always loved Zappos and have always had a good experience. I used to order a lot but my needs have changed. At any rate, the fewer experiences I have had are still good. In these days of hacking I wouldn't mind if they protected my account.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I placed an order for shoes. The order seemly went through but was cancelled (I see that this has happened to others as well). I called to understand why my order was cancelled as was told there didn't seem to be a reason, however, I would have to reorder the shoes unless I wanted to register an account. Why Zappos needs me to have a registered account before it will sell to me, instead of allowing me to purchase as a guest, is unclear. I went elsewhere to make the same purchase with no problem. I'll never use Zappos again.

I had experience with the same issue like previous people had.If I could give zero stars, I would. I tried to order a pair of shoes from Zappos.com, but after completing the payment process, I received an email saying my order was canceled and my account has unusual activity.I couldn't log in and I have no idea what reason. Then I used my husband's credit card to do another order, and his order also got cancelled.

I ended up buying the same shoes from another website in less than a minute — no issues. Extremely disappointing. I do not recommend shopping on Zappos unless you enjoy delays, poor customer service, and a lot of wasted time.

Shoes were never even sent out for delivery.

Bought two pairs of shoes. Order went good, price was good, everything was good. They shipped a couple of days later. Still no problems. They make it to an Amazon warehouse 1 hour from my house at 1am on estimated delivery day. I get up at 6am and check the tracking and all it says is package is undeliverable and will be sent back to sender. I texted customer support and told them I will come and pick them up at the Amazon warehouse. They told me that is not possible and the shoes are already being returned to zappos warehouse and I will receive a refund when and if the shoes come back. Like I had something to do with this! My money should be returned immediately as they shoes never even went out for delivery. I asked why, and zappos never even bothered to answer me. I will never use zappos again.

Zappos charged my credit card more money the day AFTER I placed the order

I ordered shoes and they charged my paypal account. The next day I get an email from paypal that says: "You approved an order to Zappos.com LLC on April 16, 2025 for $76.45 USD. Zappos.com LLC has updated the total amount of your transaction. Your new total is $81.61 USD. See below for details.". Zappos never contacted me. Never told my WHY they were charging me. They just increased my bill AND they did not include the extra insoles in the shoes that EVERY other pair included.

Terrible Experience with Zappos – Account Blocked, Order Canceled, No Resolution

If I could give zero stars, I would. I tried to order a pair of shoes from Zappos.com, but after completing the payment process, I received an email saying my order was canceled and my account was frozen. When I contacted Zappos customer service, they told me my purchase was flagged as suspicious simply because I hadn’t shopped there in a while.

Even after confirming my identity, they couldn’t resolve the issue over the phone and said someone else would unlock my account shortly. It’s been two days — my Zappos account is still blocked, and I still can’t place an order.

I ended up buying the same shoes from another website in less than a minute — no issues. Then I tried to close my Zappos account, but apparently, that’s not possible either. Extremely disappointing. I do not recommend shopping on Zappos unless you enjoy delays, poor customer service, and a lot of wasted time.

Zappos used to be an awesome store that truly cared about customers and employees. Since Amazon bought them it has gotten worse and worse. I was Zappos VIP when all they were selling was shoes. My last shoe order has almost a full week until delivered and there were no other shipping choices. When I called there were no other options and she said it takes as long as it takes to ship. My guess is since this is Amazon and no longer Zappos these shoes are no longer in NV or KY. It seems like this whole business was outsourced. I would find somewhere else to spend your money :'(

I bought $100 pair of jeans through amazon because they require it for work. Their website says you have 365 days to return anything and even in their policy if unworn. Put the clothes away to return later. 45 days later i return them. They wont issue my refund since im an amazon employee they only get 30 days. And their keeping the pants.

No proper receipt

Bought a TUMI suitcase and one wheel broke off. Now I need to present a proper invoice (PDF document) to TUMI Service Center to be able to have the suitcase repaired but Zappos cannot send one.
It is very frustrating!!

Returns

I dropped off 2 returns to UPS with scan codes - because companies do not believe in allowing the customer to print a label themselves, somehow UPS mixed up the returns and 2 pair of Ugg Tazz were sent back to Zappos instead of a pair of pants. Zappos now claims that they do not inventory returns because they have multiple warehouses that they share with Amazon so they will not send me back the items that UPS mistakenly sent to them, claiming that they sell those items, so they were put into their inventory. I don't know how a company of this size does not scan, and inventory returns, but now I am out $260 because of a mistake from UPS that no one will take accountability for.

Do NOT Order From Zappos!

Absolutely horrible and inexcusable experience. Ordered a WOMAN’s boot in size 9 and received a MEN’s shoe in size 12; no where close to what I ordered. Tried to resolve it by their chat, the person stopped responding. Tried to call, the person stopped talking and had me muted but wouldn’t respond. Finally got someone the second time I called. The person I spoke to on the phone said it was possibly an inventory issue because they no longer had the shoe in my size. So you send a totally different shoe, wrong size and wrong gender??? Disgusting business practice. I will NEVER order from here again. Buyer beware of this scam!!

What a mess

What a mess, especially considering Zappos used to set the service standard for footwear.

I placed an order for a pair of in-stock Asics, and delivery status said arrival 2/14-2/15. They never arrived, so I go online and check the status and it says it cancelled. No email or alert from the company, just a no show. After spending a half hour with Customer Service, they can't tell me what happened, and that it'll be resolved in 72. Hell with that, I'm not waiting around just to get a response on what happened, while without the pair of shoes that was supposed to be delivered. I'm done with Zappos.

Zappos driven by Amazon

I was about to upgrade a negative review. I wrote a negative review about Zappo’s failure to refund my credit card. How they recharged my card and withheld knowledge of a “gift card” as I reordered. They’ve since assured me they caught the error and refunded my credit card. Well, I ordered again, had another problem, and spent 30 min. Sat. getting it fixed. Or I thought.
ITS MESSED UP AGAIN! Because once again, Zappo’s did NOT do what they said they would.
Do I want to do business angry? No!
Do I want to battle Zappo’s aka Amazon for authentic products and honesty in transactions?
No! It’s exhausting.
I can’t work this hard to keep a company honest in order to save a few dollars buying shoes.

Selling worn shoes as new

No problem with the brand or fit I ordered, or Zappos delivery or service; all OK. But Zappos is gaming me. I exchanged a new pair for a previously ordered pair. But both pairs showed OBVIOUS signs of wear - sweat & other stains on inner soles, buckle impressions on straps which must have been adjusted to fit, impressions of feet on the soft bed soles.
No original box - sandals were repackaged in a box that said: "original box damaged in shipping."
REALLY???
The $10 credit I received at Zappos doesn't make up for my lost time & disappointment & being sold worn shoes.
Zappos has a generous return policy but they shouldn't be accepting or passing on these used returns.

Absolutely disappointed and infuriated…

Absolutely disappointed and infuriated by this company. I placed an order and when it didn’t arrive, I checked my order only to discover that it was cancelled. I was not notified of the cancellation or reason of cancellation. I contacted customer service via live chat, and the service representative was, to her credit, great. She said that the payment did not go through, but I was never notified of this. As this company used my Amazon sign-in and payment information, I do not understand why this payment didn’t go through, when ALL of my other orders using the same payment method have been processed without issue. What really upsets me is that I was not notified immediately when payment did not process, so I did not get an opportunity to address the issue. Of course, now the item I wanted is no longer available in my size or desired color. This complete lack of basic customer service and communication make me certain that I will never be shopping with this company again. Absolutely ridiculous.
