I am the owner of Uniforms and More and would like to explain the situation with the unhappy customer. His wife purchased a pair of black Dansko shoes, but he decided that he wanted brown ones instead. I told him that we would be happy to order them for him because he needed size 45, and we did not have them in stock. The shoes happened to be on backorder, and as soon as I found this out, I notified him that it would take a few weeks to receive them. He agreed but called a few days later and demanded a refund because he found them cheaper on Zappos. I explained to him that we have a no refund policy and that I could give him a store credit for the full amount he paid for the shoes. He said that it was a ridiculous policy and continued to demand that we refund his money. Once again, I explained that we treat ALL of our customers equally, and that it would be unfair to others if I make an exception for him and no one else. He still was not happy and threatened to spread negative feedback to as many people as he could about our store, which he is obviously doing.
Our refund policy is clearly displayed throughout our store, as well as next to our cash register for all customers to see. As a consumer, before I purchase a product, I make an effort to find out the store's return policy. I do not expect the cashier at every store that I visit to to automatically explain this to me at time of purchase.
We never called Aaron a ""jerk"" or ""crazy"", nor did we say that his opinion and satisfaction did not matter. This is an utterly ridiculous accusation! We strive to please ALL of our customers and losing Aaron as a customer is truly upsetting to us. However, we feel that it would be unfair to make an exception just for him and no one else. Our policy clearly states that we do not give refunds. Similar policies are instituted within most other small medical uniform stores. We are not Motherhood Maternity nor a large chain retailer, so you cannot compare their return policy to ours. We will be happy to exchange anything purchased at our store, or give a store credit, if returned to us within 30 days of purchase, new, with tags attached, and a receipt. As a store owner, I feel that I have a right to implement policies in my place of business. Spreading malicious lies about our store just because he did not get his way is very unfair and unethical. I hope that everyone reading Aaron's review will give us a chance by visiting our store and forming their own opinion about our service.
