Substituted item; item ordered not delivered

Ordered Futuro Energizing Ultra Sheet, Mild Compression, Nude Color, Knee Highs THREE (3) PAIRS - Item #Futuro-71013, Order #200334242 on 11/28/2022. Received Item without Futuro ID in plastic unmarked bag #005585. Item is not Futuro Brand as requested, it has no reinforced toe, color is not Nude or Sheer, they are not anti-embolic. I have worn Futuro for over 20 yrs. I am very disappointed that a Company would substitute another unidentified brand w/o consulting with consumer. In addition, they are impossible to reach when you have a problem with order and now want the consumer to go to P.O. office & pay for shipping charges when it is their negligence and lack of concern. Also, Company will only give me a store credit for $35.37 even though they substituted the product. I only shopped with them to get Futuro brand compression knee highs as other retailers were out of stock.

This is unfair business practice to take order when they don't have the merchandise & think the customer will pay $35.37 w/o any question & be stuck with a store credit forever. I am very dissatisfied with their lack of Customer Service and their poor customer service when Company just takes money from customer w/o receiving the correct product ordered. I want a FULL CREDIT & SHIPPING LABEL TO RETURN MERCHANDISE I CANNOT USE.

Compressionsale.com-NEVER order from that company!!!

 I was only browsing Compressionsale.com website .  I did not want to order anything at this time.  I entered all my information to get coupons. as I was browsing and clicking some items that were in the cart, when I tried to exit to go back to the homepage it processed an order. even the size chart compressonsale.com is not correct saying I am a large full calf. Even when I called and emailed them each person gave me a different size one told me large only and one told me XLarge only. I tried to cancel at the same moment but was not successful.  I reach out to Compressionsale.com they were nasty to me and unprofessional and rude to me. They refused to give me my refund. I tried to refuse the package and return it to the sender but the post office refused to do this because Compressionsale.com told the post office not to do that for their packages, now I have to pay more money for mailing the socks back in addition to the $204.86 they charged my credit card. they charge my credit card $204.86. I did not open the items or use them.

I wish I saw all these bad reviews about compressionsales.com before I browse this website, I saw they have an action lawsuit against them. this is a total nightmare. I filed a case with my credit card company. I do not know how to get my money back $204.86? help!!!!

Terrible Customer Service With Problems

I agree with the other reviews. This company is terrible to deal with when there is a problem. They do not take responsibility for mistakes, and their customer service representative even hung up the phone on me. They have a script with no flexibility or real customer service. I ordered a pair of compression pantyhose. When they didn't have the color, they arbitrarily sent a different color, and didn't even get the compression correct. Since it was not what I wanted, in order to send it back I was told I would have to pay shipping. I have never dealt with a company that switches products on you versus what you ordered without your approval, and then requires you to pay to return the wrong item. I was told they charge your card before the order it processed, and don't keep the credit card information to credit you back, another bad company policy. Even when they contact you by email to let you know they don't have the color, they keep the email light hearted. They don't tell you the real truth that if you don't pick another item, they will arbitrarily send you whatever they want, and you will have to pay the cost to return the item you did not order. I definitely agree you should STAY AWAY from this company. I even think the way they are conducting business may be illegal. At the very least, it is very poor business practice.

Gouging shipping horrible service

This is by far the worst online shopping site I have dealt with! I carefully measured to get the right size of stockings and when they arrived they were too long. When I contacted them they said I could exchange them for something else but everything else was outrageously priced. They would not refund me charges a restocking fee I had to order something I didn't even want and then pay shipping again this is the worst customer service I have ever seen

Poor Customer Service with Returns

Purchased a pair of McDavid Knee pads on 10/1, rec'd and realized they were the wrong size. The packaging was never opened, remained sealed in their enclosed packaging. I reached out to the compressionsale.com 2 weeks later to return. I was told by their customer service agent, they would not refund my card. Would only provide store credit or exchange.

Can't believe such a poor refund policy exists in todays competitive market place. At this point, I am willing to eat the $40 in exchange for sharing my story with this company.

Compressionsale, has lost a customer due to its very poor exchange policy.

exchange of product

A NIGHTMARE COMPANY TO DEAL WITH WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, RUDE AND ABUSIVE CUST SERVICCE REPS!

Thank God for the Manufacturer!

I purchased compression stockings by sku number the same that ones I have worn for years. Received them and they were so tiny they would not of fit my arm let alone my leg. Called for an exchange, was told there would be a restocking fee, shipping charges, an incineration fee, and several other fees that I would need to pay for to get them exchanged. I expressed that they had never been tried on even, they were new I had just received them and only wanted to exchange them. And said that I did not believe they were correct that they must be defective due to not being the same as I had ordered for the last couple of years. Was told I would be charged all of the fees. So I said that I did not feel that was correct and the lady stated that's the way it was and that was my choice to either keep them or pay the fees. When I stated that that did not seem right. She promptly said have a good day and hung up. Called back asked for a supervisor and again explained about the order that I had just received the previous night not being correct and was told a bunch of lies about new manufacturing procedures from the manufacturer and that by law they did not have to tell the general public about the changes that effect the sizes and so forth. She could wave some of the fees but I would still have to pay some. When I expressed my order was over 109.00 and did not have any more money to send them I am on a fixed income and was bedridden until I got the stockings. She said if I wanted to send her pictures of the product I received they would send it to the manufacturer and after an investigation would let me know if they would even take them back as an exchange and it could take several weeks. Or I could pay the fees they wanted or I could keep them. A refund was not an option, they said a refund would be the original amount less all the fees and would only be a store credit.
I reached out to the manufacturer and was informed that what I was being told about a new manufacturing process that effected the sizing or anything else was not true and was incorrect, and that they did not take photos for defective issues but wanted the product back and that compressionsales.com did not tell me the truth. And the manufacturer stated that there should be no issues with returning them because compressionsale.com is given 120 days no questions asked returns and refunded 100% of cost. So I stated I would reach out to them one more time and see what they said now that I know the last call was all lies. So I called compressionsale.com and asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told NO. I said excuse me and she said you heard me correctly I said No. And then she said your order has already been flagged. I never even told this person my name at this point. She proceeded to tell me I could not speak to a supervisor and they had told me what my options were and then hung up on me. I again called the manufacturer and expressed the out come of the last phone call to compressionsale.com and expressed I did not know what else to do at that point. She was very helpful and took my information and is going to send a call tag so I can return them. She said as soon as the item has been received by the shipping company she will release the order for replacements to be shipped. Not costing me any more money. She also said that she made notes of how I was treated and the lies I was told by compressionsale.com and would forward it to the correct people.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND EVER DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! They are dishonest and don't have a clue about the right way to treat a customer. I went through all of this because I wanted an exchange. BUYER BE WARE. I will never do business with them again and I will tell everyone I know about my experience so they don't have to deal with these people.

Worst customer service ever

This company has the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Without boring you with too many details, I tried getting a refund of a $3.95 shipping charge on a recent order and it turned into an exchange of more than 36 emails between me and the customer service supervisor. They wouldn't honor the advertising email they sent me for one of their "final" day of free shipping and 30% price reductions. I had the proof to back up my claim, but they wouldn't provide their customer service email address so that I could send the supervisor my supporting proof. At that point, I had instructed them to cancel the order. They sent it anyway charging me the full shipping charge. I called my credit card company to start a dispute and stop payment and that's when the whole thing got ugly. The supervisor threatened to call the police on me after I said I would be lodging a complaint with the BBB and writing negative reviews on their company. I tried calling the corporate headquarters and asked to speak to a vice president and they connect me to the supervisor that I had been exchanging emails with. This company is so screwed up. Don't ever order from this company and tell everyone you know not to order from them.

Problems with reurns and horrible reps

Had this place recommended by a friend. It was a SERIOUS mistake!!! I accidentally ordered the wrong compression strength and put in for a return/exchange request. Stated I needed the exact same thing in a lighter compression strength. The reply I received was “So what do you want?” Um, really? I answered and finished my return.

After over a week, I received an email that I had a store credit. Nothing about the exchange—and the credit was only for 25% if what I paid. I tried to follow up to confirm that an exchange was made and the credit was because the correct product does cost less. Instead I received another unprofessional reply (same person). As I was still in the process of figuring out was going on, the exchange made it to my door. EXCEPT, it was now the wrong size.

So, I tried to cash in my credit and start the exchange process *again*. Keep in mind this is now around a month after my initial order. What did receives was *another* rude comment (still the same person) on how it was my mistake. No help in the exchange. No help in cashing in my credit. Not to mention I have it print that the only thing I requested was a change in Compression strength.

Yeah, order elsewhere.

Poor Return Policy

I ordered hose from CompressionSale, which developed holes within a few days. The company will not refund or exchange my money because they claim, I should have been able to see these were defective BEFORE I wore them, and returned them then. SO BEWARE. Not an honorable company. Rude reps online, too.

Compressionsale

I purchased two pairs of Jobst Beige 20-30 mg stockings. I have a difficult size leg and foot, being tall and thin. My ankle is 8 and 1/2" and my calf is 11 1/2". Since I am tall I have a size 10 or 11 sized shoe. When the stockings came there was no flexibility in the toe area. Other compression stockings did. I wore both of the stockings hoping that I could wear them and the foot of the stocking would expand. They did not. Since I threw away the box, Compressionsale will not let me return these stockings. I, too, found rudeness from those I spoke to on the phone. Reluctantly someone gave me an authorization number and then I sent the stockings back for credit. I paid the postage. About a week later the package was returned with 'Refused', twice on the package.
Again I called and did not receive any sympathy. It is not the people answering the phones it is the company and their CEO's. Will not purchase from COMPRESSIONASALE again. The BBB should look into this company.

10% lowest price guarantee-FAKE

Compressionsale.com refused to honor their internet ad. Did not reply to two emails. Phone conversation with customer service rep explained that "their guarantee" meant that their suppliers of products (in this case it was "It Stays") has already searched for lowest market price and beat that with their listed prices (no matter what other such as AmesWalker.com show on their reputable sites).

That is NOT what the compression sale ad says however. Customer service person then hung up on me.

I should point out that this same discussion also happened in 2015 for the same product. Then, the customer service director agreed with me and I was actually given a 10% lower price as posted by AmesWalker.com. I can supply that data transaction should anyone want to file suit against CompressionSale.com. My addy is [email protected].

I am tired of companies ripping off people, especially when retired and on a fixed income.

Wrong merchandise sent

I ordered #72116 and the Compression Company sent a#75116. The packing order sheet had the correct order number #72116.
My printed copy of the original order has the correct order number. The company filled the order incorrectly. Customer Service on the phone and internet would not assist me with this company error. I sent 2 emails asking for help and no reply received. I am unable to get a return authorization number. Why should I pay shipping and restocking fees for their company error. I ordered correctly and trusted I would get what I ordered from this company. If you have money to lose and time to kill trying to get help this is your company!!

Do not use Compressionsale.com
-if you want your order filled and shipped correctly
-if you think you may need customer service
-if you cannot afford to loose your merchandise money

Return/Exchange/Credit Card Charge

This is the worst place to order from. DON'T DO IT!!!! I made a return/exchange which took about a dozen emails before that was completed. Then we received the replacement items only to have them be the wrong sizes. As I am typing this I am live chatting with the company who now can't even find this order. And let me not forget to mention that they charged my card again WITHOUT authorization. WORST!!!!

Shoulder Warmer (Angora) Arthritis Relief

Shoulder Warmer (angora) Arthritis Relief # 79030 was shipped on 8/23/17 and received on 8/28/17 box containing Shoulder Warmer was previously open. To my surprise whenever I pulled the out plastic bag that contained Shoulder Warmer it was already open, wrinkle, no tags attached and did not look new. I called the Customer Service and asked to speak to a Supervisor then was told E-Mail was the only way to communicate about my complaint. This morning in was given the CSCOMPRESSIONSALE.COM I was so happy to see that I was correct in contacting my credit card company immediately about this company. The Customer Service person was not helpful at all.

Horrible, just horrible

Ordered a pair of Juzo only for them to tear right after getting them. Did everything required to get an exchange. Contacted them several times after they received my return just to be ignored. After multiple emails being ignored I reported to The BBB. That got me my replacement. But they lied to cover their back sides and said they were on back order. But when I received my replacement pair the tags on the stockings and the box were stamped medical sample. So I ended up paying full price for samples. Well I made the mistake of dealing with them again. But the deal was just to good not to take the chance. The Sigvaris were on their site for $54.00 a pair so I ordered two pair. Paid to upgrade the shipping as I need them right away. Got receipt stating accepted and my account debited. Now they are emailing saying they want an additional 137.00. They are attempting to charge me more and if I don't pay up they are canceling my order. Seems like a scam to me. Looks like I have to report to the BBB again. Maybe this time time the Attorney General.

Illegal practices

This web-sight leads the consumer to believe they will refund your money if certain criteria is met. The form to apply for a refund even states "return/refund" request, and "reason for "return" request. There are many add on fees that will be deducted from your "refund". I met all the criteria for a refund. I even sent the package tracking from from the post office proving the item was delivered May 19th....I requested the refund May 24th. This was well within the stated time period. The items weren't tried on, because I could look at them and tell they were way too small. The boxes they came in were somewhat flattened because they were mailed in a plastic flimsy bag. After many times trying to talk to someone, (they were all totally rude and would not listen) because they said , this company does not give "refunds". Three people I talked to told me that right out. I strongly believe this is FRAUD, or at the very least FALSE ADVERTISING. Looking on the internet there are thousands of people who have been swindled by this company. Why are you and other agencies allowing them to continue this practice. In my case I needed the compression hose with a zipper since I have to put them on myself. This company has no other brand with this zipper so I can't take the little bit I would end up with & purchase another brand from them. These hose cost $100.72 a pair or the only other choice is $149.00 for a pair. I now have no money to purchase this needed medical equipment.

Wish I saw this before ordering

Followed fitting measurement instructions, ordered 6 pairs of knee high stockings. 1st time wearing, stockings started rolling down less than 30 minutes later while walking from the train to my office. Could not get them to stay up. Threw them away. Useless!
Compressionsale customer service was nasty. Only want refund for the remaining 5 pairs but they won't give an RA. Don't need a store credit since I won't do business with them again after this experience. I will take this to my credit card dispute board and the BBB. Items sent back anyway well documented. They really suck in my opinion!

Compressionsale.com

I ordered a Stocking Donner to help put on compression socks. When it arrived it did not match the description of having a 4" opening. It has a 6" opening. Therefore even with a helper, I could not stretch a large size compression sock over the opening. I emailed to get a refund and was told It was only eligible for an exchange or credit. I do not need anything more from this store and I cannot use their defective product for which I should get a refund. I have emailed a second time and received no reply. From the remarks on this website I will not bother persisting since they sound very discourteous. I will complain to the Better Business Bureau about this loss of my funds due to their sending me a product that did not match its description.ti

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

This is the worst online shopping site. I bought some compression socks to see if they were as good as some others I purchased from some brick and mortar stores (REI, Nike, etc.). The socks received from CompressionSale.com did not come close to the quality of these other retailers. My requests to return unopened items for a full refund were met with a response that these items were only eligible for exchange or credit. I repeatedly asked for a refund only to receive a response that they would only provide exchange or credit toward future purchase. Obviously once this company gets your money they will not give it back even for unopened items. The person I spoke with on their phone line could not care about this issue and suggested I continue to write to the customer service team. I continued to write to the customer service team who said their "return policy" did not allow for a refund. Count me as one of many many dissatisfied former customers of CompressionSale.com.

won't give return

I ordered 2 pairs of knee highs using the size chart provided compared to the size chart on my current knee highs. I posted the pic I took you also would be in shock. Tried to return them. No return allowed even though all over the site there are "icons" stating 180 day return policy. BS. Customer service person was no help. His supervisor was rude & kept interrupting me. His supervisor did not take phone calls, only emails. (my guess.... not even a real person) Still would not return. Only exchange for additional $6.95. So they keep my money and I have socks I can't wear. They get you with advertised low price and from there, you have been scammed.

I plan to get this on every site I can find so no one else will lose their money. Wish I could find out who owns this site so they can get a piece of my mind! It's the principal. Perfect example of VERY BAD customer service!!
