Purchased a pair of boots they came the very next day and they said they would but looked absolutely nothing like the picture on the website!!! Attached is what I ordered vs what I got. What I got is so much darker than picture on website and feels very cheaply made

Sheplers Sucks.

Order a pair of boots from Sheplers. Hereby referred to as Shitlers. Got no response for a week. I messaged about if they'd shipped. Shitlers responded that they would get in touch with manufacturer. Obviously Shitlers never had said boots. A few days later with the same lack of enthusiasm for communication, my order was cancelled. No hey, this is Shitlers, sorry about your order. Because of your lack of willing to do anything that resembles work, I missed another deal on the boots I wanted waiting around on your chicken *** *** Have a great life. Although, acting like this you won't.

They sent the boots I ordered to the wrong address. Since it was delivered, they won't issue a refund.

BEST ONLINE COMPANY I HAVE EVER USED!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I bought 2 pair of boots. One fit perfect, the other not so much. It was too wide. I called Sheplers and asked for help printing a return label as my computer wouldn't do it. Sheplers set it all up and emailed the label to me in about 2 minutes. In fact the lady waited on the phone to make sure I got the label and that it was ok. I shipped the boots back and received my total refund on my card in about 6 days. WHAT A COMPANY! Would I recommend them to a friend. YOU BET! Will I buy from them again. YOU BET! Sheplers return experience was one of the best I have ever had returning anything to anyone!

Poor Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I ordered two pairs of women's boots. Kept the one that fit best. Put the other in the mail - using Sheplers return label. The package left my local post office on 12/23/19 and according to the Shepler website tracking method - the package was received in their warehouse on 1/3/20. Today is the 6th day since it has been in their warehouse. Still no refund - I called customer service today and she was rather rude. How long will they be holding on to my $189.90? Frustrated in NH!

Feels like miss leading advertisement and bogus sales adds on web site

Sheplers - Feels like miss leading advertisement and bogus sales adds on web site
I purchased a pair of jeans that clearly stated to be on sale at 66.65 and a 2nd pair of jeans to bring the total to over $100 to meet the additional advertised price of 20% to get this sale price as advertised. ,** Save an Additional 20% Off Orders $100 or more • Entire Site Included Coupon Savings Automatically Apply Even after placing the order the discount did not apply, Customer service said it was because the jeans did not qualify for the extra discount even though the price was clearly advertised in red bold letters. Even after this communication the web site still shows this price and additional savings I'm fighting for. Mistake or not... 20% off the Entire Site included is simply misleading and down right shameful.

Held my credit card charge. Ran three separate charges. Customer service said, oh we adjusted the tax. Then finally sent a cheap not worth it straw hat with flaws. I will never order from them again!

Disappointed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Contacted them to see if they facilitated larger orders. I was advised to email them which I did. Only to get an email back saying to call them, which I did. However the person who wrote the email specified the times to call. Well on the FOURTH try I gave up. My order was processed through email. In that they even got 3 items incorrect. However at least has offered a discount. Go to order a further 30 items and get told no no discount (even though there are email & phone recording of them stating this) also they send shipping advice emails 23 of the same emails at a time! They have absolutely bald face lied. They have also emailed and messenger messaged 8 other friends of mine agreeing to accept their orders with the 20% discount. Just because I request them to provide details to me they think by saying no it’s going to stop me. I will be telling everyone I can here in Australia never to use their services again and they have now missed out on some 500 jackets that were required! Dungarees’s will now get all that business!

I received two emails from Sheplers a couple of weeks ago. They offered to send a return shipping label, which I did not take advantage of because of all the horror stories I read about trying to return something to them, plus the cost of return shipping. They also...

Original review Dec 18, 2018
On 12/10/2018 I ordered a pair of boots for my granddaughter for Christmas. I had researched brands on the internet to find a boot that was made in the U.S., since that is important to me.

I discovered that Abilene boots are American made and affordably priced, two things that are not mutually exclusive. I went to Sheplers website and selected the brand I was interested in. The selections popped up and I picked out a pair I thought she might like,they were a floral design. They were listed as Rawhide by Abilene, and I assumed that the slightly cheaper price than the other Abilene boots was due to the composition sole.

Most boot companies have an entry level line. Lucchese, for example has the 1883, a little less expensive but still a Lucchese. When the boots arrived the color was much darker than expected. You couldn't see the design as well as in the pictures, but they looked pretty good.

The artificial sole looked dangerously hard and inflexible also. Looking inside the boot, past the cheap foam rubber lining, I searched for a made in U.S.A. label. Anything made in America will have a label stating that.

I thought that the country of origin had to be on products. There was no label, however, may wife pointed out that the side of the box said made in India. After more belated research I found out that Rawhide by Abilene did not mean made by Abilene but rather imported and distributed by Abilene.

This is to me, misrepresentation, and I put the blame not on Abilene but on Sheplers. They should value their customers enough to tell the whole truth in their product descriptions.

Was going to order a pair of boots but after reading all the negative reviews I'd be crazy to do so. Thank you to all that shared their experience with this company and their products.

Sorry y'all had to go thru what this company did to you. Shameful.

Poor experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bought boots for $266, heel broke first time wearing at church. After alot of run around was told to send the boots in for repair or refund. Delivery confirmation shows Shepler received the return in the beginning of February. As of today no boots, no refund, no communication.

Misleading shipping info

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I ordered boots and I could have have free shipping. But I opted to pay $9.00 for 2 day shipping. Not knowing at the time that the 2 day shipping only starts when they actually ship the product which could be a couple of days or longer. So just dont expect your item (s) in 2 days even if you opt for it. Misleading at best. I will say I am happy with the Justin boots I got though.

Last time i ever order from Shepplers!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Placed an order for boots and jeans on Black Friday. The boots I received were a half size too big so i filled out the form to exchange them.

I mailed them off. Waited three weeks. Finally got an email saying they refunded me my money, no explanation. I called and talked for about a half hour to a lady who eventually told me they didnt have them in stock anymore.

I looked at my email and seen they had refunded me $72.48, when i paid $82.48 for the boot??

I called again and told them the story. They said “they left a note” saying i was shorted $10. I asked when id get my refund. “Probably in a week or so.” Wow.

This company sucks. Do not try to exchange anything!

Now im out my $82 for over a month and all i wanted was an exchange. So much for that Christmas present.
