Total Scam
Total Scam - BE AWARE! Absolutely terrible customer experience from Velo Running. I ordered a pair of running glasses based on the advertised delivery timeframe because I needed them for a specific event. The order arrived late, after the event had already passed, making the purchase completely pointless. What’s made the whole experience even worse is the customer service. There appears to be no real human support whatsoever, just slow, robotic AI responses repeating the same scripted lines with zero empathy or accountability. It took ages to get replies, and despite the order arriving late through no fault of my own, they still refused to cover the return postage. This has genuinely been one of the most frustrating online shopping experiences I’ve had in a long time. Would not order from them again, and certainly wouldn’t rely on their advertised delivery times.

Hi Tamsin, We’re genuinely sorry to hear how disappointing this experience was for you. We completely understand your frustration, especially knowing the sunglasses were intended for a specific event and did not arrive in time. In situations like this, we know the delay can make the purchase feel pointless, and we truly regret that. Earlier this year, we experienced significant fulfillment disruptions after a batch failed quality control and had to be remade before dispatch. While this decision was made to avoid shipping defective products, it unfortunately created delays that impacted some customers far beyond our expected delivery window. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding customer support. During the peak of these delays, our response times became slower than acceptable, and some replies may have felt too generic or impersonal. That is not the experience we want anyone to have with our brand. We appreciate you taking the time to leave honest feedback, and we’re sorry we let you down on this order. Your comments are being taken seriously as we continue improving our operations, communication, and delivery reliability. — VELO Support Team
