Purchased a pair of bearpaw boots for my daughter on 11/16 for pickup in the Greendale,WI store. When I arrived at the store on 11/17/21 the sales associate couldn’t find my order at all in the system. The assistant manager Nicole came over to assist him and automatically said oh that order was cancelled (without looking at my online receipt). I asked when and what time because I never received an email or call stating that. She said at 10:00 am (it was 11:37 am) I asked for proof that it was cancelled and asked refund process she didn’t know any of that information and said she couldn’t provide it because their system doesn’t work like that. So I asked for the corporate number because what she is telling me isn’t sounding too accurate. The number she gave me was customer service instead. I spoke with two different customer service reps that told me Nicole actually placed my order on back order and placed the order on reserve for an employee. The representative told me that the store had the shoes and should have been fulfilled to come to me, but Nicole chose to place my order or back order. I go back in the store the tell Nicole what I was told she tells me that’s not the truth, but customer service isn’t lying either. I said computers don’t lie so if you placed them on back order then that’s what happened that is why I never received an cancellation email because you never cancelled the order. Nicole then proceeds to tell me that they can hold item(s) for employees for 2 weeks or until pay day. I said oh so even if customers pay for them you guys can just hold on inventory she said yes. Unfortunately the district manager reaches out to me to only tell me she’s sorry I had this issue and to come back the store manager would assist me. Now, why would I come back if this is your policy I may not ever get the items I want if your employees can take the online purchase because they want them. There is no accountability for what she has done even though the customer service reps were extremely apologetic and said it’s not their policy it appears the staff at the greendale location doesn’t feel the same. So for the people who are having their orders cancelled or back ordered this may be one of the reasons why so just be aware I would just order bearpaw directly from them and skip shoe carnival due to its policies regarding fulfilling orders.
