Find another place to buy it!
October 2, 2018

The stores, website and customer service are a joke, whatever it is you want buy it somewhere else. Store associate ordered the wrong size shoe, I ordered it myself on the website, after checkout I get an error message to call customer service to order my items. It's been over a week, 4 phone calls and an email later and I still do not have a receipt, confirmation or tracking number for my package. Last purchase ever with this company. I'll find it on amazon!

Is was horrible I order a size 2y & because Employer Olivia from store #7152 Palm Beach Gardens. Did not have the right size & it was to much to call she decided to put a smaller size in the box instead & send them. Then when i call customer service they try to tell me I have 2 options go to Miami & the the right size myself or my baby have to wait a 4weeks a month to get the right size. There system is alwats down they cant send you & return label or get in contact with the label team only though email & you still have to wait 24 till 48 hours for the lable team to see there request & send you the label & that still don't guarantee you'll get your shoes on time. I will not every shop here again online or in stores. Thank you!

Not happy at all
August 25, 2018

I got a call for an interview for today last week. I went into the store and got an attitude from the lady working saying no one called me. Even though I have proof on my phone starting that I received a phone call. I'm honestly glad I didnt have my interview. I dont want to work with snabby people. I will not be returning to the store for business because of the way that lady treated me.

Terrible Customer service!
August 24, 2018

Order#******* 81.15 and 61.11 currently debited from my account. Order ******* is ny new order for same merchandise and is correct.

Disappointed with the service received in my four phone calls to customer service on 8/24/18. Two of those calls occurred at 5:30pm CST and I was hung up on TWICE when I asked for a supervisor. Was given inaccurate information regarding duplicate charges to my debit card, and informed that there was NOTHING that could be done to resolve the issue. I explained to rep that PayPal NEVER charged my card, only Journeys did, as it's listed on my debit card statement. Rep argired with me that I was wrong repeatedly. Her name was karita. Journeys was supposed to cancel my order per the email I received 8/21 by 6pm CST since PayPal waited to long to take the payment and by then, there wasn't enough in the account to cover the Journeys purchase. This was not done and I was duplicate charged. Customer service did nothing to compensate or the situation for one of their best customers. Spoke to supervisor Kayla she refused to give last name or employee ID# and did not offer any coupons or some type of solution to resolve the inconvenience and just said I have to wait for my money to go back into the account. No accountability for the error Journey's caused by NOT CANCELLING THE ORDER LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD! I'm constantly buying shoes from you for my family of 5 but after this experience I'll have to choose another retailer as I am extremely frustrated with the lack of concern I received today! Negative reviews of Journey's on various websites are soon to follow this terrible experience I had to deal with today!

Con artists who prey on children
August 17, 2018

Sales associate asked 5 different times wanting us to buy socks! I even explained that my granddaughter wears special socks but thanks! That didn't stop her. She went and got glow in the dark ones etc. She was too lazy to adjust her shoe strings so the shoes would tie better but she did want to sell us new shoe strings! Sad that you have a grown adult who preys on 6 year old little girls.

Missing shoes
August 16, 2018

I ordered two pairs of shoes for my daughter for back to school. First they didn't come until school started and then I only received one pair of shoes but the worst part is they put the same tracking number on both pair of shoes. So basically it shows I received two pairs even though I only received one package and I'm pissed. I called customer service and they have to do a lost package claim which takes 8-10 business days before I will get any news. I want a refund and I'm never ordering from them again. I'm done with the store totally. I d attached a photo of the box that was delivered today 8/16/18@5:42 and I called customer service at 5:53 to ask. Out my other pair. I believe a store employee stole them. FedEx never received the package. I believe this is nothing new and I'm not the only one this has happened to.

Fast shipping and good quality
August 12, 2018

I ordered vans Wednesday and they came 2 days later. I was skeptical about ordering because all of the negative reviews, but for me my order came fast and it came as it was advertised on the site. I had standard shipping.

Don't do your order over the phone!
August 7, 2018

This might be a no-brainer to some. But I guess it wasn't to me. Ideally I wanted to fill out my shipping/billing stuff online myself, but when my first order cancelled & second one wouldn't go through I called. First off my first package was delivered to my billing address- which was inconvient for my situation. Then my second package arrived at my neighbors house (obviously FedEx's fault bug still). Secondly the shoes I ordered (two pairs of converse) came in completely wrong sizes. I am a womens 11 & one pair came in a kids 11 & the other a men's 11. But when I went into my closest Journey's location to exchange they were very nice about it. Overall I don't want to be ajerk complaining- I merely just want to say if I were you I would go un store or just order online & not over the phone. Also be prepared for possible shipping to billing address yours is different like mine! So just be aware of how you order your purchases & the shipping company the use & you should be able to give a better review than me haha!

I bought a pair of birkenstocks online. They claimed to be leather but don't look to be at all. Maybe there is a very tiny portion of leather in the shoe but it's little if any and it's not like the other birks I have with actual leather straps. They wasted my time.

Outstanding customer service
July 6, 2018

I would like to thank Greg from the Aventura Mall Store for his magnificent customer service while visiting the store and making some purchases for my daughter and myself. Thank you so much for your patient (searching for the shoes in other stores and calling me went shoes arrived). 100% customer service

Do not order online
June 26, 2018

I ordered a pair of Rainbows a month ago and they still have not come in and I bought them because I needed them for my trip. So bottom line, do not order from Journeys online because they will not even ship within a month, when it says 5-7 business days. I am truly upset.

Nothing but a nightmare of an experience! A never ending chain of human error. On Dec. 22 I was trying to buy my granddaughter a pair if Adidas in the Monmouth Mall, N. J. store. They didn't have her size. Employee told me to purchase the smaller size and her size would be available for exchange on Dec. 27th. Today is Jan. 27th and the nightmare continues. After several trips to the store for the correct size, when told on the phone that they were in stocks, they did not have them. Finally one week ago I demanded that they ship to my house from their warehouse. Order was placed... Yes warehouses had them... I would have them in 2 to 4 days. No email updates. Yesterday customer service told me the warehouse did not have them and they were coming from another store. Well today they arrived... One sneaker was missing the sole insert. Purchased by debit, not credit. Sorry but they can't give me a cash refund. Filed complaint with consumer affairs and will spread the word of my experience. Store employees were not interested in my purchase issues and customer service supervisor said sorry they can not help me. What a joke!

Hi, I was searching for some puma sneakers I've been wanting forever and they had them on sale for the best price online. I should have known that was a red flag! They said that they would be shipped within 5-7 days with free shipping. Exciting right, NO! After 2 weeks I contacted them because I knew it was around the holidays. Don't call them because they won't pick up. Called twice and waited for an hour. No answer. Did the call back when your time's up on the phone line and they never called back. Did that twice. Then, Then, I emailed them twice and no one contacted me back! This is almost 3 weeks since I paid and I knew I was probably being scammed and was going to lose my money. I can on this site and found out others had the same issues but some luck getting contact. So, went back to the site and they offer a live chat and it took 30 mins. On hold and someone actually came up and said they couldn't help me and and that they will get back to me in 4 days? WHAT! I was like this is serious. It has to be a joke. In that time I was trying to figure out what would happen. Then, 7 days later because they don't tell the truth- I get an email that says that my sneakers have shipped! After 3 weeks they have finally shipped. I was disgusted and relieved at the same time. So, I prayed and hoped I would see these sneakers in the next year. Lol After a week I get something left a my door and it was the sneakers. I hoped that they were correct as ordered and they were. So, after 1 month and all that wasted time and stress I still got them but, man I will never ever ever again deal with some site that I've never heard of again. Please stay away. Because, I bet there were people that never recieved packages and they had to fight. I think when I spoke to that live chat lady she knew I would be the type to sue over $40 sneakers so she had to process. Hope this helped someone.
Thank you

If i could give zero stars i would
January 6, 2018

Bought my partner a pair of shoes from here and went to exchange them because they were too big. Bought in store, and went to exchange in store, and when i gave them the shoes, they said they couldn't return or exchange them because they had been worn, which is NOT TRUE. I brought them back in the same condition they left the store in. Plus the service in store was terrible. When i tried to explain they hadn't been worn, the cashier rolled her eyes and said there was nothing she could do. Will NEVER waste my money or time here ever again.

Customer service does NOT exist. I have been on the phone for hours on hold. One response to multiple emails. Somebody was going to research my order and never heard from again. At this point all I want is my credit card credited and I will NEVER shop at Journeys again!

I will not return, ever.
December 29, 2017

I picked up shoes a full size too small and brought them back four days later for a return. The manager then proceeded to tell me I must have worn them. Where did I wear shoes that were too small for me to? The shoes were spotless and unworn, how I received it is how I returned it. It then took him 30 minutes to finally give me an exchange, worst customer service I have experienced, I will never purchase anything from here again.
