I purchased a pair of shoes at a Kids Foot Locker in the mall yesterday with my debit card and walked around the mall and found the same shoes at Finishline for $15 cheaper. I decided to return the shoes to get a better deal and ran into two huge issues that have led me to vow to NEVER shop at Footlocker again. First issue... I was told I could return my purchase at any Footlocker and I was conveniently next to Footlocker when I discovered the cheaper shoes at Finishline and went in to return the shoes. (I had purchased 20 minutes before at Kids Locker) The manager came out and told me it HAD to be at the original store I bought it from. Major store chains always accept returns no matter where your original purchase is from. This makes no sense! Especially since they all come from the same inventory. My issue with that is when I was originally shopping for shoes at Kids Locker, I wanted a shoe they didn't have in stock, but the employee checked the inventory and told me they only had my size at the regular Footlocker across the mall. I could order the shoes, pay for them then and there and pick them up at Footlocker... so why doesn't that convenience apply to returns??? I had to walk all the way to the other side to get to Kids Footlocker again and here is where I discovered my second issue. I made my return which was on a debit card and expected to receive my money immediately so that I could make my new purchase at Finishline, only to find that it would take 2 cycles to show up in my account. That is just something you can't expect customers to be okay with. They take the money immediately yet expect you to wait that long to get it back. I refuse to hand over anymore money to Footlocker when they have such horrible policies and procedures and there is much better competition like Finishline and Champs.
