Shady Business
I purchased 6 pairs of warmup pants in XXL (US sizes), and what I received was in Asian sizes. It felt like squeezing into a size twice as small. So I returned them and they refunded me with a gift card to use only at Modell's.com and also short-changed me from the original purchase amount. Don't trust this e com business. Modell's used to get great business from me and my martial arts family but not any longer.

Modells sent me the wrong jersey when I placed my order. When I called to get it resolved, the Jersey I wanted was out of stock so I waiting till after Christmas since it was a Christmas present. I called back after Christmas for them to exchange it for the right jersey. The customer service people gave me wrong information and told me they could not exchange it. Then someone else said I could. Then they sent me the wrong label for the wrong Dept to take care of my issue. I didn’t hear anything for over a week and called back for the 4th time. They kept telling me I had to wait for the refund to replace the order even though that is not what the other customer service person said. I waiting over an hour to speak to a supervisor. Who then tried to tell me the same thing. He then promised me that someone would reach out to me the following day. Of course no one did so I had to call back again. This is like the 6th time I’ve called. They tell me they are going to send me my jersey and an email. I have yet to get an email and have to call back again. This is the worst customer service I have ever had. I am extremely frustrated.

Good day:

We are sorry this customer is having an issue with her Modell's MVP Mastercard.

Unfortunately, Modell's Sporting Goods is not the issuer of credit. The customer needs to contact the bank that issued the credit card.

We apologize, but this is not something that Modell's Sporting Goods can address. Please contact the issuing bank.

Thank you,

On Saturday, May 4th, I visited a local store at *** looking for a Men's football cleat for my son. There were only 4 choices available; however, none in the desired size, so the associate offered to order the pair I wanted for store pickup in 3 days. I agreed and completed the transaction at the register (where they referred to the order as a tablet purchase). On my receipt, it was rung up as a gift card purchase. Before I left, I asked the associate again if the shoes would arrive in 3 days and he said yes and that I would get a call once they arrived. The following day I look at the confirmation email I received and the shoes are listed as BASEBALL cleats and then this morning I receive a shipping notice email where the shoes are schedule for delivery next week, May 14th! I couldn't believe it. Not only did I make it clear to the associate that I needed a FOOTBALL cleat, but I also made it clear that I needed them by this Thursday for my son's practice. I am extremely aggravated by this situation. After calling the store to complain and try to cancel the order and receive a refund in order to purchase another pair of the right kinds of cleats, I was forwarded to their customer service number. Once I called them and explained the situation, I was put under the impression that if I called back after finding another shoe that was available in another store locally that I could go pick those up same day. Unfortunately, after calling back with an item number I was told by another representative that I still had to wait until the initial pair arrived in order to exchange for a different one. It's ridiculous that I have to purchase another pair and wait to get a refund for the first order when I was misled by the advertising in-store and the delivery timeline. I will not be shopping here again!

Hi, my name is *** and for a year I have been trying to change my payment date to the end of the month. Modells for over a year has been telling me that they have no other days. I have changed with other credit cards so I will not have late fees. I pay my bills every two weeks and if I can pay at the end of the month I will have not late fees, now I do. March I contacted the Corporate office and they too said nothing can be done. I have am trying not to be late on my payment and is just requesting my date be changed from the *** to *** of the month. Please help me.

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately Modell’s Sporting Goods is not the issuer of the credit card, and this type of inquiry would have to go through the bank that issued the credit card. Please refer to the back of your card for the contact information of the issuing bank.

On March , 2019 I went to Modell's in Brooklyn on *** I purchase 5 items and the machine accepted the swipe from my debit card. Taken $125.95 dollars off of my card. The cashier by the name of Aliyah kept pressing buttons on the machine after I saw the machine in front of me say purchase accepted from my debit card. but the cashier said the transactions did not go through I received a text message and a message of my transaction from my debit card receipt saying that transaction went through and it was not decline so the cashier insisted that I pay for the items with cash because she lied saying the transactions did not go through when it did. So I told the cashier to take three items off of the $125.95 because I did not have $125.95 in cash for the items that I purchase on my card that was indeed accepted I took two items off and paid $71.97 knowing my card accepted the transactions that another cashier said if the transactions states that the funds was taken on her card and not decline then it was accepted. This cashier Rob me of money off of my card and took extra cash

The most horrible experience !!! I would give "0" but din't allow
I had made an order online for this shoe "adidas Kids Hoops 2.0 Mid Basketball Shoes" for my daughter it showed available and then after two week's got an email the shoe was not available.
I tried calling the customer service and checked with them since when I went back its still allowed me to order and showed available. The person over the phone said she can re-order then again made a second order, but again after a week got an email the shoe is not available at the warehouse. At last I just wasted more than a month and couldn't give my daughter her Christmas gift.
This was my first and last time to use MODELLS .. just horrible horrible experience
PLEASE DON'T WAST YOUR TIME SHOPPING AT MODELLS

Modell's Sporting Goods Response • Dec 28, 2018

I apologize for the inconvenience experienced by Mr. while trying to place an order on modells.com. I have sent Mr. an email. our Customer Service Team will address this unfortunate experience. Thank you

I placed an order for products they withdrew the funds from my account and canceled my order without notifying me. I had to reach out to costumer service to see where my items were since I paid for 2 day shipping and had not received my items. I have been calling costumer services for 5 days now and they did not Release my funds. They continued to then claim they never withdrew them despite my bank saying they had. They continue to not give me a straight answer of where my 215 dollars was.

Modell's Sporting Goods Response • Dec 28, 2018

To Whom It May Concern:

E-commerce has confirmed that the authorization was released on December *** at 5:28:14 PM PST. They did specify that it take 7-10 business days for the funds to show in the customer’s account.

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Our Customer Service Team had been researching the problem.

Wishing you and yours a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Best,

I went to the store to look for some slippers, I found a whole rack that have a sale of $10 and on top of that had a sing saying buy one get one half off, according to the sale tags all the Nike slippers on that rack had the sale of $10 plus th buy one get one half off, so they second one should be coming off to $5 the total of my purchase should of been $15 plus tax, the item was coming on to $29 each minus the half price for the second one. Store supervisor was very rude and told me on a very rude tone, “I’m not going to give you that price cause that’s not it” so my answer was if that’s not th sales price why are they advertising the whole rack as $10 plus the second song buy one get the second one half off. My intentions were not to argue with them, but the way she answered me is the reason why I’m making this complain. Another issue was when the employee that went to checked for the price he clearly removed the sale tag, cause when I went to show him where the item was cause he couldn’t find it th tag was not on the item I was intented to buy. To my knowledge they removed the tag before I got to the rack.

I bought some Nike shirt they sende tome and is not what I expected poor quality they supposed to be medium and they look xl and ugly becarefull I'm really disappointed

On April 15, 2018 I made a purchase in the amount of 47.68. In the process of me swiping my card which also said approved, the cashier plugged in a heater which made the system shut down in the middle of the transaction. The manager Laura informed me that I'll see that amount pending on my card but the purchase would not come out of my account and asked me did I want to swipe my card again, I informed her that I didn't want to swipe my card twice. On April 16 the payment of 47.68 came out of my account and I went back to the store on Tuesday April 17, 2018 to inform Laura that the payment came out of my I even showed her my bank statement which was my proof and I still couldn't get my merchandise. She called customer service and they told her they didn't see the payment and they directed her to someone who said the same thing. I have a letter and statement from my bank stating the purchase went through. I've been contacting customer service but still no resolution yet and now in order for that payment to come back into my account I would have to dispute the payment which will shut down my card and that's an inconvenience for me. Customer service has my name and number and no one has contacted me yet. At this point all I want is a refund, I'll rather not deal with the business any longer because of their lack of professionalism. If a refund is not issued I'll take the merchandise. The manager Laura has helped me from the beginning and has been very professional. Thank you.

Modell's Sporting Goods Response • Apr 20, 2018

Thank you and have a great afternoon.

Good afternoon:

Thank you for providing the information from your bank. After my last correspondence to you on 4/20/2018, Modell's had initiated a refund to your debit card in the amount of $47.68. Our bank informs us this can take up to 7-10 business days to complete.

Please check your account for this refund to appear on or before May 4, 2018. I will also follow up with my sales audit department. They are the department working directly with our bank.

Again, I am very sorry for this inconvenience. Once the funds have been refunded to you, I will also be mailing a $50 Modell's gift card to the address you have provided in this complaint as a small token of our appreciation for your patience.

Thank you,

I do not understand why is it that they decided to increase my credit line without letting me know or even consulting with me. When I realized I immediately contact them and ask to please reduce my credit limit to what it was initially. However they said I would have to pay 1000.00 which to me is ridiculous why would I have to pay that amount if I did not even use 1000.00 worth!? not only that I been always making my payments on time.

Good mormimg:

I purchased a pair of boots on Sunday July *** 2017 before I left for a small vacation. I finally used the boots Friday July, *** 2017 only to find out these "waterproof" advertised boots were not waterproof at all, my feet were entirely wet minutes. Today July, *** 2017 I tried to return the boots because they were defective and not waterproof as boldly advertised all over the box/display and was told the return won't happen because I wore them.

I tried to get the point across that YES, they were used for one day and my feet were soaked on a "waterproof" advertised item. These boots are defective but the manager was extremely rude and refused to take them because "he couldn't put them back on the shelf" for another sale. That is a completely wrong argument and poor way to care for customers both new and old if you are trying to put a defective/falsely advertised item back out for sale knowing why they were returned. All in all I was outright told it is my problem and I shouldn't have worn them if I wanted to return. I shouldn't have worn them? How would I know they were poorly designed and/or falsely advertised if you do not use/test them?!?!?!?!?

Modell's Sporting Goods Response

To Whom It May Concern:

We are very sorry to hear about ***' unpleasant experience while trying to obtain a refund of the boots he alleges are defective. At Modell's Sporting Goods, the customer is our number one priority.

Cary B of our Customer Service Department tried to contact *** at the daytime number he provided, but was unable to leave a voicemail. Please ask *** to contact Cary at , *** and Cary will be more than happy to expedite the refund process. As long as *** has a receipt for his purchase, he will receive a 100% refund back in his original method of payment. Without a receipt, we are more than happy to issue a refund in the form of a store credit.

Please also ask *** which store he experienced the refusal of his return so we can also address that issue internally.

Many thanks and have a great day.

Best,

I placed an order online, called to cancel the next morning. The person I spoke to said she would call the warehouse to cancel the order, and would get back to me if there was any problem with the cancellation. I never heard back from her, so I assumed the order was cancelled. Next day, I got a shipping email -- so obviously that didn't work. I left a note from *** to refuse delivery; they ignored it and left the package off, so I called and asked them to come pick it up and return it to sender. You guys refused your own package saying "it's not ours" (?????), so it came back here. I have now called TWICE to try to get you guys to issue a prepaid shipping label for the item's return. No one I speak to can help. Both people deny responsibility for these errors ("We never heard back from the shipping company so it isn't our problem," etc.) Actually? When you are shipping products to consumers, if your shipping company is unresponsive that IS your problem. Honestly, I've never encountered less responsive customer service.

Modell's Sporting Goods Response

Good morning:

On behalf of Modell's Sporting Goods, I am sorry that *** is experiencing difficulty receiving proper communication from *** regarding the order she placed online and later canceled. By the time you receive this email, *** should have received a prepaid shipping label, and a full refund of any monies paid is being processed.

Again, my apologies on behalf of Modell's.

Thank you and have a great day.
