      I ordered boots on 9/20/2024 as a gift. Company never sent them. Ive called multiple times and sent emails yet this has not been resolved. Their customer service is terrible. The bottom line is I spent $133.55 for boots that they never shipped and their employees are too stupid to figure out how to replacement ship or refund. At this point Ive had to buy boots elsewhere so they just need to refund. Instead of refunding, the idiot customer service dumbass just sent a request in to refund. She needs to get her f****** head out of her a** and refund it. This is theft. This is the worst company to buy from and Ill never buy from them again. This is ridiculous. No wonder they have awful reviews. I am also contacting my bank to let them know Durango refused to send or refund.

      I ordered two pairs of boots and when I received them they didn't fit. So, I processed the return and sent back both pair of boots. I received a refund for one pair of boots, but I still haven't seen the second refund. I returned the boots in the same box, so I'm unsure why only one pair was returned. Customer service verified that they did in fact receive both pairs, but I had to wait two weeks before reaching out again. I reached out again and have to have my email replied too. I'm at whits end now and coming here for help getting my refund.

      Hi ******,
      Thank you for reaching out. I’m sorry to hear you’re having an issue with your return. I see that return #****** was set up online and only captured one style of the boots, which is why the second wasn’t included.
      I’ve created a case for you ******************* to process a credit of $161.21 back to your card. Once the credit is approved, it typically takes 7-10 business days, or up to one full billing cycle, to appear on your statement.

      I purchased a pair of boots from the **** Boots in Mt. Vernon, IL. They have a warranty on the boots. The boots started to deteriorate. I contacted them on 4/1/24 and they told me they would send me a return label to send the boots back. I never received the return label. I called back on 4/8. They told me they would send the return label out that day. I have not received a return label yet. I contacted them again and the rep said I should've received it. They placed me on hold. The phone was disconnected. I tried numerous times to call back and it would disconnect after one ring. They've never asked for my physical address, so I don't know where they would send the return label. Return # *******

      Yes, this is ***************************. I had faxed you some information here last week, I think it was, looks like it was on the 10th. There was a couple questions that I wish I would have added to my complaint. Two mucks boots. I don't know if you can still get them added to the complaint. The two questions that weren't on there that I really want and should have asked is how old is *****, the lady that took my phone call from Muck Boots, and how many years she has worked with the company? If you need to, call me back, but those are two questions that I feel probably should have been and need to be sent with the complaint to have an answer to those two. ************. Again, this is ******************* on muck boots complaint. Thank you.

      Customer response

      06/17/2024

      Yes, this is ***************************. I had called earlier and left a message. This is complaint number ******** against Muck Boots. Whenever I filled the papers out that you were mailed to me and I faxed them back, I would speak to me before you would actually sent the complaint. Also, I needed to have on that complaint, once it went to the company, the age of ******* and how long she had worked at the company. I'm hoping you can forward that now, and hopefully they will reply with all the answers to the complaint. So, again, this is ********** against Muck Boots. I also need those two remaining complaint questions answered when they reply ************.

      I bought a pair of damaged boots from this seller, on ebay, they told me to send the damaged pair of boots back for a refund. I ordered a 2nd pair in the process, because I needed boots, and liked the style they offered. They recieved my returned boots, then refunded a gift card, that didn't exist anymore, all I asked was for the refund to be returned to an active card, or return the damaged boots. Ebay decided that wasn't necessary, so I'm seeking a refund or my damaged boots back.

      Hello, I apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with our product. We have our 1-year warranty to ensure that you are getting the quality product that you pay for, please refer to our warranty information on our webpage. We have an agreement with all our Authorized Dealers to honor the 1-year warranty.

Unfortunately, if the boot was not purchased from either Rocky Brands or one of our Authorized Dealer this voids the warranty. For this reason, you will need to contact the seller on eBay or contact eBay directly concerning the product you purchased.  I would like to offer you a free pair of boots for the inconvenience. .

      I really just came to second the fact that it is actually impossible to get in touch with a person at this company and there are no responses to customer service emails. I was sent the wrong boots and have been trying to get in touch with someone or get any kind of response and I can't. If there's the even the slightest chance of there being an issue with your order I would strongly recommend staying away from any direct purchases with this company.

      Ordered a pair of muck boots from off the muck boot company website. After receiving them, decided to return them due to poor quality. These are nothing like the boots they used to make. They have had my return for OVER A MONTH and I have yet to receive a refund. Emailed them over two weeks ago (they do not have a telephone contact number listed in their website). They replied back stating that they had received the return but due to huge sale they had over the holidays there were so many returns due to an online problem that they were experiencing a delay. This is completely unacceptable. Still have yet to receive my refund. Return # ******

      ****, thank you for reaching out to us. I am so sorry for the delay in your credit. I do see where our returns department has scanned your boots, and the credit has been applied to your account today.  I have attached a receipt for your reference. Once the boots are received in the warehouse and processed, we will issue the credit back to your card. Typically, after the credit is cleared it can take 7-10 business days, up to one full billing cycle to show on your statement. If you have any questions, please me know.

      What I understood from your response is that you are acknowledging you have the boots I returned.   That it could be another month before you give me my money back.  What a joke.  This is no different than the first response I received from Muck Boots two weeks after I returned the boots.   This complaint I filed with the BBB will not be resolved until I get my money back.  PERIOD.  END OF STORY.

      it is impossible to get a hold of customer service with this company. I have sent emails, Facebook messages, called 4 times and still can't get help. Only after wearing my new boots 3 times they already ripped. This company is falsely advertising that the boots are American made but they are cheaply made in the Dominican Republic. xtratuff boots are now made of cheap quality and rip easy . I have attached a picture of the area that ripped after only wearing them 3 times. This company has by far the worst customer service

      *****, I am so sorry that you have not had the best customer service experience. I see your picture and I am needing a bit more information. Did you buy direct from us? Only reason I ask is because I would like to offer you a credit and the only way I can do that is if they were bought directly from us. All Rocky Products have a 1-year, limited warranty in normal use against any manufacturing flaw(s), defective materials, and workmanship.  As the product was purchased through one of our authorized dealers, we encourage you to take it where you bought this item from since they are responsible to honor our 1-year warranty. If you are unable to do so I would be glad to give you a free pair of boots. I look forward to hearing from you.

      BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.

      As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
