Lies, horrible customer service, super slow shipping
Horrible customer service. The shoe is bought is way to big. I requested to exchange for a smaller size. Website said free shipping on exchanges. I have been contacted by 3 different people all telling me different things. The first person told me it would be 14 99 return shipping. Which made me request a full refund. The second or third offered me 3 options. I chose the free replacement. Then received a email saying they are sending a larger size and a different color. The i last email is said this, I will be copying and pasting it. Hi Heaben, Thank you for checking with me. I'm happy to clarify this for you. I'm Susan, the founder of Orthora, and I wanted to write to you myself. I'll be honest: Orthora is fighting to survive right now. I've put everything we have into our new shoe, which is more comfortable and ships much faster than your original order did. To keep going, I had to sell off our existing stock at 70% off, and your pair was part of that sale, with no profit left in it. I understand you were hoping for a refund, and I'm truly sorry, but I'm not able to refund this order. As stated on our website, clearance and sale items aren't eligible for refunds. Right now, refunds on these orders could be the difference between Orthora making it through and closing for good. What I can offer is a 50% voucher toward our new pair. I believe in it so much that I'll make you a promise: if you place your order with the voucher and you're not happy with the new pair, we'll refund what you paid for that new order. Regarding your question, I understand you'd like the black-on-black shoes. Please reply to confirm, and I'll help you with the next steps for your voucher. Thank you for understanding, and for giving a small business a chance. With gratitude, Susan Founder, Orthora Footwear I have the emails from them. If you want to see them for yourself.
