BEWARE!
July 14, 2020

I ordered shoes from this company two and a half months ago and still nothing. I have since moved out of state and have no hope of ever receiving anything. Their customer service is completely unhelpful, instructing me to contact their shady shipping carrier instead of actually helping. I got ripped off.

I ordered them for my birthday in February and didn't receive them until I reached out in May. I assumed it was because of covid. The sizes aren't very accurate to the site and when I reached out about my custom cat ones not fitting, they responded promptly to rectify the problem. They let me keep the pair that didn't fit and sent me a new pair(which also took forever but did fit) so now my sister and I have my 3 cats on matching shoes. Expect shipping to take longer than expected and the quality isn't the best, but they are adorable. They're definitely more fashion than functional

SEVEN MONTHS
July 10, 2020

I ordered shoes back in January of 2020 and was excited about them as they were unique. DONT DO IT. I emailed them at month 4 asking for a refund and to cancel my order. They refused said they had already shipped and they credited me $10 instead... well it's month 7 now still no shoes and I've asked and asked for a refund to no avail and I'm moving next week so I guess I just wasted my time and money. Don't waste yours.

This company refuses to issue refunds without return of purchased product. It has been over 10 weeks since I placed my order, my package has been stalled in Shanghai since May 22 - no updates on shipping since then. I am told that my order is coming, it's just taking longer, but now being over 6 weeks since the last update it's hard to believe I will ever see it, and that this item is not lost. They continue to use the pandemic as an excuse, yet, I have placed and received many orders from other companies during this period, and while shipping is taking longer, it hasn't ever come close to over 10 weeks. I am extremely disappointed, but I will cut my losses, learn from my mistakes, tell all my friends, and anyone who will listen, to avoid doing business with this company.

12 weeks to get!

Ordered shoes in April. When not arrived as promised attempts to communicate with company spotty. It's on its way. It's lost in transit. It came today. Nice fabric. But not what I ordered. Less quality and service. Am returning

If it ever came
July 7, 2020

I would love to tell you how they are but they never came! Ordered back in March never got a confirmation. Spent $58 thought I picked a bogo with two corgi shoes. NOPE they sent one of what I wanted and some other they picked. So in April I sent another email asking where they were got sent another email, said they were still in China (granted I get COVID. Here we are into July and they are Some where in the US with no eta. Had I known it would taken this long for a pair of shoes I would've just ordered locally. I honestly would just like a refund bc now I'm reading that the show quality is not great either. What's even more fantastic is might be moving in a few months and god knows if I ever see these shoes. So I wasted 50 something bucks on shoes I will probably never see. Do yourself a favor and find something cute in Etsy or just buy from some where else.

I ordered four pairs of shoes from this company on April 16. This is July 1 and I still have not received them. I contacted the company on June 2 and was told that deliveries were slow because of COVID 19. I understand that, but this is ridiculous. I do enough online ordering to know the extra wait time due to the pandemic. Nemo could have swam the shoes over here by now.

If I have not received the shoes or a refund by Friday July 3, I am going to contact the Better Business Bureau.
The CEO of this enterprise needs to either step down or get busy. Otherwise lackadaisical work standards and insufficient productivity are going to sink this ship. I would say that the Groove Bags corporation rates just under a corner lemonade stand managed by a seven year old and just above Nigerian phone scammers.

I ordered back in April and STILL haven't gotten shoes. 2 emails to customer service and NO response. It's awful. I checked the tracking info and it now says that there's been no update for so long that my shipment is likely lost...

I ordered in March, after thinking the company was US based. The shoes actually come from China. My shoes have been sitting in the same facility in China since they shipped, the first week of May. I messaged the company and asked if there was any updates on when shipments will start again, as these were a gift and at this point aren't needed, but still wanted since I paid a lot more than I've ever spent on a pair of shoes. The company replied saying they have no control, and even said the shoes were probably already on their way, but shipping just wasn't being updated. That was two weeks ago. I still haven't received them, or had shipping updated. Today is June 11th 2020, and from other reviews, I see that I will not be getting my money back either.

On March 1st I ordered 2 prs of shoes, and today, June 7th, I do not have them. Groove Bags at first blamed the virus, and now will not respond to my emails requesting a refund. I've been complaining to them since April 15th, with no solution. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I ordered two pairs of shoes Mid-March. One month later, I asked for an update knowing most packages were not being delivered on time. I received an email saying my order was already en route from China, they have no control over what happens from there and due to this they would not give refunds either. It's the end of May, still no package and no more replies after repeated emails.

I ordered two pairs of shoes in March and still have not received them. After asking for a refund, because I needed the money for work shoes, I was told over and over again about shipping delays and how they would refund me a 10 $ credit (which never happened by the way) and eventually ignored after asking AGAIN for a refund. I still haven't received my shoes and it's May 27,2029. I still need a refund, like now. They refuse to respond so I'm left with no option but to leave this review and warn others of their scam.

I finally received my shoes after waiting 3 months. Not only did they take forever but they are cheaply made. My husband got home before I did and he sent me pictures of the boxes they came in, they were beat up and almost in pieces. One of the pair looks like someone had orange something on their hands and touched the shoes. STAY AWAY

I got lured into their site from a Facebook ad, and purchased two pairs of shoes on March 17. They shipped on April 2, from China! I started getting suspicious and the tracking they provide is practically a joke. The last update was on April 3. I am writing this on May 7, and I still haven't received my order. I emailed them on April 22, they told me there was a global delay due to COVID-19. I ordered stuff from the UK, and they arrived on time. Global delay much? I emailed again on May 5, and no answer was received. I just emailed them the 3rd time. It's not worth the hassle!

I bought sneakers for work thinking they'd be cheap and nasty. They were so comfy (I'm a dog trainer so I walk miles), the pattern was amazing and I LOVED them... so I bought 4 more pairs. Great price as I bought them in the BOGO sale too - worked out as under $40 for a pair of sneakers.

Quality is the issue
April 24, 2020

The shoes are kind of cheap on the quality side. It even smells cheap. I'll be wearing mine rarely because the soles are particularly bad. Who wants to slide around everywhere cause they have no traction? It's not made of a good material... I can't name it but you'll smell it as soon as you inspect the shoes closer.
