Dear BBB,
We are sorry to hear about our athletes experience with their returned order. We attempted to refund this order on 11/8/24 but it was rejected because our athlete has already filed a chargeback and had successfully won the pre arbitration and was refunded so we are unable to reprocess a refund at this time. We attempted to reach out to the athlete and the phone number provided is not in service If our athlete requires any further assistance, they can reach out to us at: ************.
Thank you.

I purchased 3 of the 20 oz Stanleys via the Dicks Sporting Good website. When i received my package I only had one cup. I called customer service twice for assistance to see if they would have been shipped separately. They said they did not. The cups should have all been together. I was then told they do not ***lace or refund ******* cups. I paid $93 for the three cups. That is $30 each. They told me to shop in store next time, ship to another address or call my credit company. I used Afterpay and contacted them about a refund but have not heard back. Im so confused that a company would not back up their product or shipping. I also contacted *****. I was told by the customer service *** that the appropriate weight for 3 cups is 2 lbs. so the package had to be correct . They then hung up on me.Customer response

Good Afternoon. I wanted to reach out and let you know the business (Dicks Sporting Goods) is trying to correct the situation. They have advised after listening to the customer service call, they will reship the two missing items. I have received an email with that information but have not received the cups yet. I can keep you posted on that progress.Business response

We were able to confirm that we processed a reship on 11/2/2024 for the two items that were said missing from the original order and that this reship was successfully delivered on 11/5/2024 therefore we will not be issuing a refund at this time.

My number is not disconnected. If you call from a blocked or restricted number my provider flags it as spam. The item I received was previously worn. I brought it to the dicks store in the north shore and they said they would not take a return on a pair of sneakers that has signs of wear. The return was attempted within 24hrs.The customer service offered $20 and $10 store credit. Absolute garbage. Ill be requesting a charge back as I cant return this at this point.

On October 20 2024 my kids and I were racially profiled and had our civil rights violated by being accused of suspension of stealing. the manager on duty called the ***** police **** on my kids and had them experience a very traumatic event being harassed by the ***** police and lied on by dicks. The manager Ms ***** said that my kids looked like some kids that was at this store over 3 months ago. In my opinion this was a very racist and slanderous accusation that had no basis. This a grave violation of our civil rights. especially since the police extended the harassment to my vehicle out in which they searched for no reason other than the initial complaint. No one should ever have to go through something as traumatic as what my kids and I experienced at the hands of dicks sporting good and the ****************************.Business response

Today we visited a Dicks Sporting Goods while traveling away from home. We stopping in and purchased $188.96. When we got home, almost 150 miles away, we realized the shoes we bought were two left feet and different shoes, and two items had security sensor tags on them. Since we are so far away from the store, I called customer service to see if I can return these items via mail and was told no. They didnt have any options for me. So now I am out money for things the store cashier failed to do as a necessary part of their job since we will not be returning to the area where the Going, Going, Gone store is located. Id like to be able to return these items via mail for a refund.Customer response

I placed an order online in July with 90 days return policy. When I tried to submit a return online earlier, the system showed different deadlines for different items. I wasnt sure how the deadlines were calculated so I decided to go by those deadlines which said 10/22, 10/23 or 10/25. But when I went to the store to make a return on 10/19, the store told me that only some of the items were eligible for returns but not the rest. Im attaching the pics of the website from a couple of days ago and from this morning (10/19) for the same item. The deadlines changed with no reason and now Im not able the return those items. I dont believe the customers should be paying for the system issue of presenting the incorrect return dates. I would like to return the rest of the items and get a refund.Business response

On 10/1 placed an online transaction for instore pick up of a pair of Hoka running shoes, method of payment was ***** no coupons, no gift cards. Went to pick up shoes in store and saw that they had a **** on them, so I asked for another pair. In order to do that, the cashier processed an exchange. I asked at the time to make sure that would not impact a return and reviewed their return policy- they assured me there would be no impact to a return. Today, 10/15, I attempted to return the unworn shoes. When I tried, the clerk explained that their system hard blocked them with giving me a return to original form of payment. All she and the manager whom I involved, could offer was a gift card or exchange. They said there was no way to over ride the ability to return to original form of payment, that corporate was aware of the issue, and was going to be implementing the old system back in stores so they could, but they didnt have a date of when that would be completed. I called customer service and they can only do a very round about process, that requires the customer do the return, get a gift card, call CS and cancel and then have them TRY to do a **** return and if that doesnt work then wait 6 weeks for a check! This is insanity to run a business this way and expect the customer to go through this hassle, put trust in the process working and wait for that amount of money to be released to them. They were also not upfront about this process when I asked originally. Isnt this illegal?Business response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and am awaiting the refund check. As long as the check is mailed and received, this will be satisfactory. However, DSG needs to resolve this return policy and practice so others are not impacted.
