Super unprofessional company

I have made countless purchases from this company and can honestly say I am not impressed by them as a whole.

First of all the website is absolutely ATROCIOUS and now with Covid being forced to shop online with this brand is horrible! Terrible loading times on iOS and on desktop, the entire experience is super glitchy leading you to a bunch of page's not found... or error messages.

I recently tried to make a purchase and use the points I had accumulated but for some reason I could not checkout; it kept bringing me to a page that said something along of the lines of what I was looking for could not be found. I had gotten all the way through the checkout process but could not actually purchase the item for whatever reason. This was frustrating as I actually lost the size I was wanting but thought I would try on my PC and just get a larger size; however when I tried to checkout I saw that all my points were gone. I didn't make a purchase, so where did these points go?

I then tried to contact DC through their online contact us form however after inputting all the info I found out the "send" button was conveniently not working. Considering how horrible the website is I wasn't entirely shocked so because I had made a recent purchase, I went to my shipping order confirmation email and inquired about this issue there. The reply I received answered NONE of my questions, just told me my order was on the way and gave me a tracking number that I didn't ask for or even need as I already had it.
I have since attempted to reiterate as the individual responding was either purposely ignoring my questions or did not read my email. In my inquiry I also asked them why they were sending me codes that were used; I get emails stating I have a code, I go to use it literally 20 min after receiving the email and it says the code has been redeemed... but by who?

And lastly if you are ordering from Canada it takes AGES to get to you and sometimes the box is in pretty bad shape as it appears to have been put through the ringer before it manages to make it to your doorstep. I haven't had issues with damaged items so far but considering how badly the boxes get treated I would not be surprised if there was damage, and I certainly would not want to be dealing with returns or exchanges with this company.

Overall I like the look of the shoes but there are far too many options to consider that have way better customer service, website and loyalty programs.

I ordered a pair of shoes

I ordered a pair of shoes. I paid 50.00 for them. Had to send them back, and I was only refunded 39.00......I was charged for shipping and not refunded the amount. Called customer service and asked to be refunded the shipping seeing I had reordered the same shoes upon returning the shoes that were the wrong size and I was put on hold and it was never resolved. I will never order or buy DC again after this experience. It's poor business

DC not sticking to standard sizes...

Why can't you guys just stick to standard sizes. I own a lot of DC shirts and every medium size shirt dimensions is completely diffirent. Some are long, others are short, some fit, other don't fit at all. I can't understand why a medium is not always a medium? I also just bought a pair of DC flip flops online and they are a full size smaller than what is indicated on the label. It's a gamble eveytime I buy your stuff online... Very frustrating becasue I do like the brand.

Browsing Equals Unending Spam

If you browse the DC website and sign up to get "discounts" you will receive non-stop spam email. When you add an item to your cart, you will notice that none of the coupon codes they send actually work. Worse still, once you close the site with an item in your cart, you will get non-stop, daily begging from DC to come back and complete your order. These will have more fake codes that are not valid. I confronted them about it and the bad customer service response was to simply, "add more products to the cart and see if those discount." Shady!

DON'T BUY!!!!!

I'm very unhappy with the service that i have had with them.

1. Only half of my order has arrived (No T-shirt)
2. The shoes appear to be Kid sized (Wasn't stated when purchasing)
3. The box came with 5 empty Shoeboxes
4. The return label isnt in the box

Currently waiting for a reply to the email i sent out a couple days ago reguarding the matter, but after looking at these reviews im not looking hopeful.

Extremely displeased with their service.

STAY AWAY!!!

A good store

I like this store. Yea, I agree with some reviews when people write that prices are high. It may be high for the new collection.
However, I adore the quality, for me this is the best combination of price and quality. One more advice, they have a sales category, visit it because they always have good deals and you will be able to buy what you need for a reasonable price.
I have bought a pair of trainers recently and they are perfect, the quality is great, they look fantastic and fit well.
I come back to this website again and again.

Recently bought a pair of shoes off…

Recently bought a pair of shoes off this website, first time having ordered. Purchased the shoes before I read the reviews & began to panic seeing how poor they were. My experience with DC has been fine. Delivery took about 8 days, which was longer than expected but was told prior that delivery would take longer because of COVID. Other than this & the worry due to the lack of good reviews, it’s been fine. This is my only experience with DC so could differ, shop at your own risk.

Awful customer service.

Awful customer service.

Order allegedly despatched 3 weeks ago, but tracking indicates that it never reached the courier.

3 x detailed emails sent to customer service, but no response whatsoever. I have requested a refund, but feel like I’ve seen the last of my money.

The DC Facebook page is jammed full of customers complaining about missing orders. Truly shameful service for such a large company.

Poor customer service

Poor customer service. My e-mails regarding a refund was never answered.

Their call-in customer service is impossible to get through to and their automated queuing system cuts off automatically after 5 minutes. Once I did get through to someone and explained my request for a refund, they refused to provide me with a call reference number and I was told that they would send me an email instead. I have yet to receive this elusive email or even a call back from them.

I have since not been able to get through to them despite calling for over 2 hours for two days in a row. Needless to say, I have not received my refund either.

Avoid their online ordering service.

Won' refund! Don't buy from DC Shoes!

Shoe size not as advised and takes over a MONTH for returns to be received by their warehouse & processed. I've been waiting a month and still have not received a refund! Customer service is no help at all, they just tell you to wait. They are extremely quick to take your money but then don't refund you when the product isn't as described. I'll never order from DC Shoes again (not like the company gives a care anyway...). I returned the shoes 1 day after receiving them. They better not deny my return because it is past the 30 day limit (which they are the reason the 30 day limit would exceed, not me!).

Destroyed after 2 skate sessions!

Bought a pair of DC high tops that looked durable. After literally 2 skate sessions the stitching and glue on 1/3 of both shoes came undone! After 8 sessions the sole had nearly worn through.
I can’t believe how unsuitable a pair of skate shoes are for skating!

Brought a pair of trainers in December

Brought a pair of trainers in December for my son. In January the stitching has all come undone. I emailed them to see what they could do. They offered me 20% off a new pair which I declined. I wanted a replacement or money back. I last wrote an email on the 6th Feb and still awaiting a reply. Terrible customer service

Worst online shopping ever!!

Worst online shopping ever!!

Won't give me a free label to return because I'm in canada.
Asking me to go to courier and sort that by myself!
Courier charging me $50 + for return shoes which I bought for $40!!
Never shop from them if you dont want to get ripped off.

Horrible company DC shoes, Quiksilver ROXY, Element, Vonzipper...

Horrible online shop, no customer service, live chat that no one online. A week later and order still under being processed stage. Like other reviewer experienced, hope I don't have wait a few months to get my order. I don't think I'll purchase online from DC shoes again; Quiksilver ROXY, Element, Vonzipper... all distribute by Boardriders. I won't be supervise all have the same poor customer service. I would definitely stay away from these brands.

No STAR RATING!!!

If there was a no star rating ide choose it. I ordered my kids shoes on July 27 didn't receive the package until Sept 10. Called numerous times and was promised tracking information. The day I recieved the shoes I immediately sent them back due to size chart being incorrect. Here it is Sept 23 and still no refund. I called and suprise all the return labels inside the box are not prepaid labels. So wow I hope the post office still has the box or someone just got nice shoes. When I explain to DC that customer service is putting a label that is actually paid for to easily send back, then maybe ide reorder but since you have no customer service ability I now get to go find the box and pre pay for the label and hope it's in the return policy length. NEVER AGAIN!!!
