Aldo I'm not drunk I just bought really poorly made shoes - aldo shoes

I used to think Aldo made really high quality shoes but that was either incorrect or quality has really taken a nose dive at ALDO. I bought a pair of heels from aldoshoes.com they came in about a week, which is fine. I tried them on, I liked them, all was well. I didn't get an opportunity to wear them until a month later (three days after I threw out the packing slip). From the very begining I thought something was wrong I was finding it hard to keep my balance and I had to concentrate on walking to not fall. Well low and behold my heel broke in the begining of the night like it was made of gum. I wish I could post a picture, it's a joke how cheaply this shoe was made. I don't know how many steps I took before it broke and I weight maybe 120 pounds I didn't crush the poor things. I was sold a poorly made product and the only thing I've gained from it was a night of wobbling around the nations capital and a pair of shoes perfect for a gimp

Aldo rude, ignorant sales people

l have always had good customer service from Aldos for the last five years when l shop at any of their stores in Chicago, especially at their Bucktown locations on milwaukee avenue.However, my latest experience at their store in Lincoln park located at 2044 North Halsted, chicago on Saturday the 9th of October, 2010 was shocking in how blatantly racist the salespeople were in my opinion.l wear a combination of BCBG, Arden B AND Zara and my shoes are either predominantly from Akira or Aldos, and on this day, l was dressed(like l normally would)in BCBG/Zara and Aldos boots, this apparel load-down is to give you an idea of how l normally present myself, so the attitude from this people was definitely not because l was looking shabby, it was only because they were obviously jealous and Racist.l entered the store after l had shopped in my other favourite store 'Arden b' and l got weird looks from these three odd girls and only one salesperson said 'hi' to me only after l got close to her as l was looking at a shelf beside where she was standing.None of them offered to ask if they could help me find what l needed.Five secs after l came in, two male or/Male and female(not sure about the 2nd person) Caucasians walked into the store and the greetings, welcomes, jokes, the sucking up, and ### kissing and little friendly chats started pouring in from all the corners of the store to them.When l heard all that behind me, l walked straight out, l also took my $600 with me to spend on shoes at Akira, it may not be a lot to some people but it was mine and certainly not going to the store while those ignorant beeyaches were working that shift.l bet you after all that sucking up, they ended up not buying anything, which is normally the case!Good Customer service is the only way to great sales, first sales lesson.

Aldo staff were rude with my daughter

Hi! I had gone to the premium outlet to change a pr of shoes that i had bought earlier. The sales rep was very rude to my 5 year old daughter as she was running about the place, i understand it was not right. But it is not what u say, its how u say it is very important. She was more busy flirting with her co worker and trying to impress the guy. She was the supervisor.
I live in jamaica and we go go to florida every year as we have our time share over there. The id no#[protected]

Aldo absolute garbage

I spent three years of my life working my tail off for this company in Michigan. I was definitely passionate about Aldo, and their business standards as a whole, but that quickly diminished once I learned the truth within the company and their employees. Every single store manager, key holder, and associate was trained to basically make your life a living hell. Every actual hard working person in that store, such as me, was under appreciated and completely belittled. I spent every day being harassed by my store managers. I stayed long hours and came in on my days off, just to help those idiots out and I got nothing in return. By far the worst experience in my life, I will never, ever be apart of such crap again. Cannot believe I stayed as long as I did, I guess I truly thought my passion about the company itself would override everything in the end, but it did NOT!

DO NOT take interest in this company for employment, it is not a team of compassionate, honest people. They will almost eat you alive.

Aldo leather boots ripped!

I purchased a pair of black leather boots from Aldo. Upon wearing them, I stepped up onto a curb and the whole front of the boot ripped. All along the seam where the toe bed is. I purchased these boots at the end of the season last year-but havent worn them until this season. I do not have the receipt or box, just the boots that are brand new! I paid a lot of money for these, and I have never had this happen to a pair of shoes/boots! This is absurd. Poor quality and make. What can I do? Who do I contact? Help!

So i wanted a shoe i seen in the store the sales woman amber assisted me with this shoe bringing me a size 39 which was to small. She told me she could mail a 40 to my house since my heels were hanging out the 39. Today when ups came the shoe size was the same i tried on in the store. I called the store manager all he said now that i'm in another state is he didnt know what to do. This store can really brush up on their customer service skills.

Aldo horrible customer service

From my experience more often than not Aldo/Aldo Accessories has horrible customer service. Earlier today I was at an Aldo Accessories and after about a minute I started to feel as though I was being watched. One of the young female employees was eyeing me and following me around the entire time as if she thought I was going to steal something. I was holding a pair of earrings in my hand while I continued to browse and the employee strutted over and in a very condescending way asked if she could hold the earrings at the counter until I was ready to pay. I felt it was extremely rude and pretty obvious she was implying that she thought I might steal something. However I did want the earrings so I just told her I was going to pay now and leave. When I handed her a ten dollar bill for the eight dollar earrings she held it up to the light to make sure it wasn't counterfeit... I was shocked! I wonder does she check five dollar bills as well? I felt completely insulted and I am absolutely livid. I understand that part of one's job while working retail is to do what you can to prevent shop lifting but this was uncalled for and just plain rude and obnoxious. Is it because I am a young girl in my twenties? Is it because I was wearing a baseball hat? I wasn't aware those were reasons for being treated like a potential criminal. I mean really, is that standard practice at Aldo to make their customers feel so uncomfortable and insulted? Do they teach all their employees to check every bill even a TEN DOLLAR BILL to make sure it is legit? I can understand a fifty or perhaps even a twenty if the person seems sketchy but this was ridiculous. I’ve never seen anything like it before- and I shop... ALOT. The last time I went shopping in that same Aldo Accessories I must have bought about fifteen things and spent over two hundred dollars. I don’t look like someone who is going to shoplift by any means. Honestly I consider myself a pretty ideal customer, I enjoy shopping and spending my money in their stores and on top of that I am always very polite to staff! I honestly do not understand why I was treated that way. Needless to say I won’t be visiting that Aldo Accessories location again and after reading other complaints with Aldo’s extremely poor customer service I'm not so sure I want to shop in any other Aldo store either.

Aldo poor quality, overpriced, uncomfortable

I've only had three pairs of shoes from Aldo. The first, boots with 2" heels. Fine for the first 5 mins, extremely painful afterwards. A friend who lent it, had to walk home on bare feet on pavement! Braving the possibility of glass and other nasty stuff was more comfortable than wearing their shoes!
The second pair, after learning my lesson I bought on sale. They fit well and looked good but I had to return because again, they were too painful. Last pair were winter boots that were extremely heavy and clunky. Having learned my lesson, I only look at their shoes to see which styles I like and then hunt for different brands.

Aldo sells poor quality shoes.
Their 90 days warranty is nothing.
Your normally worn shoe will wear off after 4 months and they will claim it is not a manufacturer's fault.
I wore their shoes only inside so they should last at least 2 years or like my Rylko or Badura shoes - 5 or more years.

I will never buy from them again.

Aldo half of the shoe sole disappeared after 4 uses

I bought a pair of white flats on sale and wore them only 4 times within one week (walked only on hard wood floors and once on pavement). Half of the shoe sole is already gone. In addition to that, they get scratched really easily and a part of the side of the shoe is already completely worn out and you can see layers of what the shoe is made of which looks a LOT like cardboard. I would LOVE to get my money back even though they were on sale. Will attempt to return but it will probably be useless judging by other reviews here.

Aldo their online facility is ridiculous

I bought 2 pairs of boots from Aldo online. Despite filtering the website for my size, with the first pair they waited 10 days to inform me they did not have my size. Disappointing, and would stop me using the website going forward as obviously the stock is not accurately reflected on the website. The second pair were an absolute nightmare. They advised me that UPS would be delivering the boots at last, 3 weeks after I bought them. I waited and no boots arrived. After a week nothing had still arrived. I tried e-mailing them 10 times but no one got back to me. The reference number for UPS they gave me was not valid. I tried ringing Aldo's customer services but after 45mins on hold gave up twice, i finally got through on the third attempt to be told they had delivered them to a store in a different county instead, as UPS did not have my correct address. My address was correct on the confirmation e-mail so if that was true, then Aldo gave me my incorrect address. At this stage they offered for me to collect them from the store, but it was miles away. I asked for a refund and was advised I would see it across my account in 10 business days. After 12 days I rang them today to be advised that it still had not been processed internally, and would be shortly, and then I would receive my fund in a further 3-5 working days. So I will not receive my money back for over a month from the time I asked for a refund, and that if they keep their word today. I have been chasing this order now for over 2 months and I yet to either receive any boots or the money for the 2nd pair. I sincerely regret ever going near their website. They keep using the excuse of 'The Holidays', but I do alot of online shopping and I have not had any of these nightmarish scenarios with other retailers. If you've fallen for a pair of their shoes, do yourself a favour and order them in store. Their online facility is ridiculous.

Aldo shoes use to stand for quality, when they were made in Italy, but now they are shoes that don't last very long, since being made in China. They should sell Aldo shoes at Walmart, at a much cheaper price, to match their quality.

Aldo do not do business with this vendor

I ordered a pair of boots online from ALDO that turned out to be too big. They came in a box, within a bag, and that bag apparently had the 'original' receipt taped to it. I threw away the bag without realizing that, thinking there would be a receipt and packing slip inside. However, there was no other paperwork in the bag, or the box with the boots. I now want to return the boots, but the store will not accept them back because I don't have the receipt that was on the outside of the bag. the store advised me to return them online. when I attempted to do just that the online site would not process my return. Every time I filled in the data and clicked continue it put me back to the original return page and won't give me an RMA. so, you cannot return the boots online, or at the store because the store won't accept my online receipt and credit card statement showing that I was charged for the purchase. The ALDO site shows that returns are "easy to get" and good within 1 yr of purchase, but that is clearly not the case. apparently there is no way for me to get my refund. I consider this to be fraud. furthermore, the phone number for the local store disappears when you do a web search, & there is NO, I repeat NO WAY to get a telephone number for customer service. DO NOT do business with this vendor. I have been a faithful customer of ALDO's for years and will NEVER buy anything there again. they have lost a customer permanently.

Aldo I will never ever come back to this brand

I bought the product 'Sharmaine;: http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/boots/ankle-boots/69806184-sharmaine/97 two days back (Powell Street, San Francisco) and while I was buying it, the sales person advised me to purchase 'Elrorice': http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/accessories/shoe-care/comfort-fit/66620130-elrolice/0 for my boots to maintain a firm grip against platforms and put them on on my new boots.

The next day, I noticed some strange marks/cuts towards the heel and took the boots back to the store for exchange. Now since they already had those Elrorice on my boots, they would not exchange it saying that 'once i put those elrorice on, they become final purchase.

I feel miserably cheated with $140 + $5 for those boots by getting those accessories on w/o letting me know that they would turn into final purchase.

This is the first time I bought something from Aldo and will never ever come back to this brand.

And needless to say - the leather on the boots starting wearing out in a day!

Aldo bad customer service

Hi, i would like to make a very important feedback about one aldo staff working in singapore, at suntec city named mindy who doesnt know her products well, and she definitely is not a customer service oriented and very unhelpful, she even argued with me. When i asked her if the watch can be adjusted, she said no. Does it has a service centre she said no. How do we adjust it, she said she doesnt know. When i asked her how are we gonna buy if you know nothing. . She said customer still buy. So what happen if customer bought it and she has problem changing the straps. . And she said she doesnt know. The best thing is, she's in charge of the store. How is this possible? I have a receipt, dated 25 / 02 / 2010 @ 12:44:16. Watches code : 1) (Middough - 81) 31 - 14 - 1 [protected] s10 (White&gold) , 2) (Berry - 81) 31 - 14 - 1 [protected] f09 (Metal matte silver with rubber and leather straps)

Please acknowledge this and do something about this. Thank you.

Youre acting like you are buying a Movado watch. Yes, she could have been a little more polite(but you're probably exaggerating as most people do) but for a $35 watch, you are expecting way too much. Common sense would tell you that you can't adjust leather straps also

Aldo horrible quality shoes

I am very disappointment in Aldo Shoes. I purcashed a pair of McMickle dress sandal for a ball on Valentine's day 2009. When I returned home that night it was very late so I placed the shoes back in the box. A week later my mother asked me to show a cousin of mine my shoes. When I took the shoes out of the box two rhinestones were missing off one shoe and one off the other. I purchased these shoes from Aldo's at the Streets at Southpoint 6910 Fayetteville Road Durham, NC 27713. I spoke to the manager whose name is Raja and he indicated that if they were worn he could not replace them but he would e-mail the home office to see what he could do. He did call me back and requested that I bring back the shoes to see what they could do and I appreciated that. I took the shoes back and was told that they would give me another pair of shoes but if the rhinestones came out of these they could not replace them. The salesperson by the name of Miriam suggested that I take some nail hardner and spread it over the rhinestones before I wore the shoes or take them to a shoe repair person to seal the rhinestones before I wore them.

I am so disappointed that I don't know what to do. I informed her that I have purchased many shoes with rhinestone's in them and the rhinestone's did not fall out and I did not appreciate purchasing a pair of shoes and having to repair them before I wear them in order to secure the stones.

I will never purchase anything from them again. The shoes did come with two screws for the heel of the shoes but know rhinestone's that could be replaced. Apparently the stone's are needed if the shoes were only worn once.

Aldo got the shoes back and have not returned my money

I purchased 7 pairs of shoes from there website. The website was incorrectly size for the United States so they were all to small. I called only to find out that four pair came in my size. I order those four and received return receipts for the other seven. Once they received the other seven they would refund my money. Well that was a month ago. I have been calling for the last two weeks attempting to obtain a refund. I have called an spoken with several people - they say they will return my all in 24-48 hours however thta never happens when I call back they act as if they dont know what I am talking about. When I call the extention that I spoke with prior too the keep saying that they are working on it. I have spent over five hours attempting to collect a refund an they have finally refund $66.15. I am waiting to hear from the department manager who happens to always be out in order to get the remaining balance. I will NEVER order from them again on line. It is stealing for them to get the shoes back and not return my money. As far as I am concerned they are theives. I spoke with Julie at ext 2706 she never returned the call. I spoke with a young lady at ext 8982 she of course never return the call. This company is UNBELIEVABLE

Aldo management do not care about misleading sign

Their were boots on a clearance rack with shoes and boot that said $19.99 everything looked to be on sale when you when to purchase the price was not on sale it was full price... (in very small print not visible unless we got on the floor and looked very closely at the sign it said from) as you will see the photo shows. They were very rude about this... This really seemed like a bait and switch... I would not have even looked at the boot if they were not on sale (they were children's boots and it being the end of feb who would have not known they were not on sale when you see a sign like that) Management was rude and did not care that their signage was misleading.

Aldo Item never shipped

I ordered 4 pairs of shoe online on 31-Dec-09. I received 3 pairs but the last one never get it. So I tried to call so many time and the stupid answer machine never get me to talk to actual customer service. I was tired of calling and waiting, so i sent an e-mail to the store about the missing pair of shoe on Jan 25th 2010 but I didn't get any response. I tried to call the customer service again on Jan 27th 2010 and finally the lady answer the phone. She said that the shoe is shipped but there is no tracking number. She told me that she sent the request and someone should find out by Friday of the same week... I got nothing until Feb 8th, someone sent me this email:
"Dear Lani
Thank you for writing to aldoshoes.com.
We are sorry to hear that you have not received your SELIGA items.
While verifying your file, it was brought to our attention that you have already spoken to one of our agent.
Please let us know if we can assist you further.
Thank you for choosing ALDO.

What kind of business is this... :(
This doesn't solve my problem. Either send me the shoe or refund the my money back. I don't think i want to order shoe online from this store... bad bad bad

I bought and paid for boots. Was assured by sales rep. that they would be delivered to store in 3-6 days. Bought Friday. No problem for receipt by following Thursday (birthday). Now I learn that they mean 3-6 business days (not counting weekends although they are open for business). The 3-6 days does not begin until the order is processed (1-3 days). In my case the order was not processed for 6 days, and shipping will be at least another week. Poor service to promise you one thing, get your money and then send you to head office where they state that non of those dates are true. Way to take the money and run ALDO. Lying to get a deal is not very professional.

Aldo is awful! I thought it was simple - return a pair of unworn shoes in the original box with both the original receipt and a gift receipt in hand. Then the staff in the store said "company policy" was "even exchange only" and if the cost of the replacement shoes was less than the returned item we could "donate the difference for aids." she also said that...

Aldo sub standard customer service

For the past ten years I have been both a devoted, as well as, a very satisfied Aldo customer. However, I am compelled to forward this letter of complaint to your attention.

I have purchased shoes and accessories from Aldo on a regular basis in stores all across the globe; and not only for myself, but for my entire family. I have multiple homes and upon my return to our beach house in FL this year, I discovered a forgotten pair of brand new, gorgeous black patent platform sandals in my closet which I purchased just about a year ago. I was very eager to finally wear them.

Last Wednesday evening, June 10, 2009, was the idea occasion. However, as I stepped out of our house and walked on to our car, I mentioned to my husband how painful these shoes were. Determined to enjoy their trendy style and beauty, I decided to ignore the pain for the fashion sake. However, after another 30 minutes of agony, it became apparent, that ignoring the pain was no longer possible.

After wearing them no longer than 45 minutes, I called the Aldo store at International Mall, ( Store 2117) in Tampa, FL. where I had the privilege to speak to Josh, the store manager, and upon my explanation of the situation, he quickly responded, that this was not a problem, and even though the shoes were worn once, I could bring them in for a simple return.

I was very grateful to Josh, and was amazed at how professional he was in trying to handle this situation. After all, I have never had to call a store to return a "used" pair of shoes.
I mentioned to Josh, that I will be able to bring the shoes, with the original box and the receipt, on Sunday, June 14, 2009. Josh advised me that since it was his day off, he will forward this information along with instructions, to Jessie (2303), the assistant manager who would be managing the store that day.

My husband and I arrived to the store on Sunday morning, and asked for Jessie. Jessie replied to us that he knew nothing of my conversation with Josh, nor did he have any instructions. He stated that he would call Josh for clarifications. We patiently awaited, while Jessie went into the back room to call Josh. Upon his return, Jessie's reaction was rather rude, stating that the shoes have been worn more than once and he will not be able to accept them, but only for an exchange. (I was rather astonished by his attitude, let alone the "expertise" that he had shown as to the condition of the wear of the shoes!).

After 15 minutes of very vehement argument, Jessie insisted on not accepting the return. I requested him to provide me with an opportunity to speak to Josh, since that original conversation was between myself and him, but he adamantly refused to redial his number and let me talk to him.

I asked for a contact information for the Corporate Headquarter, but he continued to refuse my requests. Furthermore, the hourly employee that was standing next to him, just "barked" at us that they were simply not going to do the return and that I was welcome to come back when Josh was around.

Since I knew I wasn't going to be coming back to this area soon, I picked up another pair of shoes, which I did not care for of equal value, exchanged them, and stormed out of the store. On our long drive home, of over an hour, we stopped by another Aldo store, and successfully returned the new pair of shoes!

On the way back, I also had the chance to reflect on this ironic situation, and the poor handling of what should have been a rather simple return and a very satisfied, long time customer, but instead cost the company, hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue!

This shouldn't take a rocket scientist to understand the simple arithmetic and the consequences. However, neither Jessie, nor Josh, cared to pay attention, think, or better, simply provide exemplary customer service.

So on my long way back, I picked up my phone and called a couple of my good shopping friends. Each one of them has been an Aldo devotee shopper for years, since I was the one that usually brought them with me to our mutual shopping sprees.

After relating this story to them, they quickly got on their multiple blogging sites and the social media groups, and emailed this story to over one thousand friends. Yes, girls talk. When they happy you know it, and when they feel wronged, you'll know it faster!

Within minutes, about 50 of their friends replied that they will never shop in Aldo again. This was just the beginning...as emails and bloggs of disgruntled customers have a life of their own.

As an attorney, and a CEO of a company, who is married to a successful physician, a $100 pair of shoes, wouldn't have broken my bank. However, the rudeness of the store's management drove me out of that store, quicker than a wild fire!

Over the years, I have invested and spent tens of thousand of dollars in all the different Aldo stores. If all our blogging friends who swore to never shop there again have spent just a fraction of what I used to spend per year, this will amount to a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to Aldo.

One of my friends later called the store to inform Jessie of his grave mistake, and poor judgement. She told him that his poor decision is going to cost the company far more than $100.00. His reply was simple and rather astonishing: He simply didn't care and stated that the loss was not of the company but of the customers.

At that moment, it became clearer than ever, that if he had applied for a job in my company, I wouldn't hire him to wash our floors!

Customer service is everything and in this economic environment I do not know of any company which can afford this kind of negative publicity and loss of revenues.
The loss is not of the customers, because we, the ones who have the disposable income to splurge on fashions, will continue shopping at the better stores such as Nordstrom, Neiman, and Sacks, where customer service is taken to the highest levels, and not only our dollars are the one who are being appreciated, but it is the long term relationship that is being valued!

Is there a moral to this story ...well, I guess more than just one ...
But in a gist, don't shop where you are not appreciated, where the company does not stand behind it's products, or where the company cannot afford to train their management!

Was it all worth it for $100.00 ?

Well, if Aldo continues the same way, these $100.00 incidents will destroy the company, and as for the valuable assistant manager - Jessie 2303 ...as he stated, he simply did not care!

Best,

LS

I also had an order cancelled without an offer of a rain check, delayed shipment, etc. I sent an email to their Customer Service contact, asking for help understanding why the order was processed with so little attempt to honor the order. The response included a misrepresentation of their policies, though it was very polite. It quoted a notice of 1-3 days to process an order. The word process was used multiple times. In fact, the site does not reserve 1-3 for processing an order. There is no reference to this on the ordering page under customer service. The 1-3 day mention is on the shipping page, and is referred to as a "handling" time, and makes no mention of cancellation. This is immediately preceding a table demonstrating lead time on your order depending on selected shipping method. Clearly this handling time is intended to inform the customer that the time associated with the selected shipping method is in addition to this handling time. There were two other references, neither of them in my confirmation email, relating to processing. The first was on the actual confirmation web page, which I captured for my records. It stated that if billing concerns arose, and they were unable to reach me by phone or email my order could be cancelled. This was not the case, the item was described as out of stock. Similar to another complainant, my item was available on the web site for at least a day or two after I placed my order, so at the very least, their inventory management was severely lacking in this case. The second notice was in relation to an order status of in process for greater than 72 hours (not 1-3 days...this was a distinctly different phrasing, and not what was referenced in the customer service response). In this case, a follow up email with further instruction would be sent. First, my order never had a status of in process. It was always in shipping. Second, I would not call a cancellation notice further instruction.

So, I opened a live chat, because I had the free time, and worked through it in real time with a representative. The representative was polite, and toed the company line while trying to be as helpful as possible, but insisted on quoting the 1-3 day policy, even pointing me to the link to the shipping section. I explained that was not processing, but handling, what it was intended to show given the context, and that there was no mention of cancellation there. Again, that the only cancellation language was provided in relation to a billing error they were unable to resolve by reaching me. As the representative was unable to authorize either a rain check, or reinstated order with a note explaining I would accept delayed delivery, a case was opened, and I am expecting contact from a supervisor.

In the end, there is an umbrella in the legalese terms and conditions that allows cancellation of anything for any reason. I found this later, as I knew it had to exist. Had they pointed to that, I'd have had little to argue, but my dissatisfaction, and the lack of good faith in the transaction. But they didn't, so I hope to have a reasonable conversation with a supervisor in the next 48 hours. If Aldo wants to uphold the image of customer service the present on their site, and develop a long standing customer, they will, as most retailers would, find a way to honor the purchase I made. It's a simple thing. These are all simple things.

I shopped at the cumberland mall location for Aldo and I am completely repulsed by their customer service. I was honestly wanting to buy a shoe and it took them 15 minutes to finally ask me if I needed a shoe. I told them yes and when the girl went to go in the back to get the shoes her phone rang and she answered it! So I wait a good 5 minutes for the one pair of shoes she brought me out and she just hands them to me and walks away and goes in the back. Then she comes back and asks me if I want to buy the shoes and I said no they were not
What I was looking for. Now is the part I really could not stand...SHE ROLLED HER EYES AT ME AND WALKED AWAY WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING!' I will never shop at the Aldo Again. Horrible customer service by the woman Tracy !

I have a complaint of my own for Aldo. Earlier today I was at an Aldo Accessories and after about a minute I started to feel as though I was being watched. One of the young female employees working there was eyeing me and following me around as if she thought I was going to steal something. I was holding a pair of earings in my hand while I continued to browse and the employee strutted over and in a very condesending way asked if she could hold the earings at the counter until I was ready to pay. I felt it was extremely rude. However I did want the earings so I just told her I was going to pay now and leave. When I handed her a ten dollar bill for the eight dollar earings she held it up to the light to make sure it wasn't counterfit... I was in shocked! I wonder does she check five dollar bills aswell? I felt completely insulted and I am absolutly livid. I understand that part of one's job while working retail is to do what you can to prevent shop lifting but this was uncalled for and just plain rude and obnoxious. Is it because I am a young girl in my twenties? Is it because I was wearing a baseball hat ? I wasn't aware those were reasons for being treated like a potential criminal. I mean really, is that standard practice at Aldo to make their customers feel so uncomfortable and insulted? The last time I went shopping in that same Aldo Accessories I must have bought about fifteen things and spent over two hundred dollars. I dont look like someone who is going to shoplift by any means. I honestly do not understand why I was treated that way. Needless to say i wont be visiting that Aldo Accesories location again and after reading these other complaints I'm not so sure I want to shop in any other Aldo store either.

I am launching a fashion & advertising agency sometime in 2011 and before I do I am coordinating a fashion show. I have been calling around to shoe boutiques so that I can borrow shoes for the show and Aldo happened to be on my list. I call the corporate office and with a very pleasant tone I asked for the department that would be responsible for handling my type of request. The "receptionist" had a tone like I was inconveniencing her and advised me "if you don't have the ext. I can't help you". She acted as if she didn't want to give me the information and she wanted me to just go away. So I keep asking probing questions to finally get the email address of the marketing department. I asked for her name and she says "I'm the receptionist" and she continued to say it the three times I asked her. She talked to me like I was a women off the street and then hung up on me. I called around and finally got in touch with her "manager" (it sounded like her) and she didn't sound like she really cared. I am long time customer with Aldo and after this I will never step foot in there again. (The shoes hurt anyway).

Even District Managers of Aldo are full of BS. Recently, I purchased a new pair of shoes. (that was the last pair) Unfortunately, I did not check the bottom of the shoes that had a damage. And when I came home my friend noticed scratches on the bottom of the left shoe(every shoe stores use a left shoe to display) And at the next day I went to the same Aldo store for return or to get a discount. And I was shocked when the same manager (as he claimed) who sold me those shoes said that the shoes were new and accusing me wearing them and trying to return them. He was so rude. And if the manager of the store could behave the way he did I could not imagine what to expect from employees. My conclusion is that either one of the unacknowledged employees took them as a return or since they were on display they got damaged and non of us noticed it. However, I made my complaint to the District Manager his name is Orlando Palmer . And he promised me that if in 6 months I would decide to purchase any shoes from Aldo store I would have to contact him trough his email 0palmer@aldogroup.com and provide the information such as address and phone of the Aldo store I would be going, and he would be able to call that store telling them to give me a free pair of soil grip and a discount for any shoes I would choose. And guess what, the email he provided is incorrect (although I asked him to spell it for me 2 times, just wanted to make sure that I got it right) I'm so shocked. Aldo is so low and cheap. I would never shop there again. So disgusting.

CS is horrible! I ordered 7-8 pairs online, and 1 of the pair was cancelled, so i again went online to see what the matter is..i saw tht it's still available. So i wrote to the CS, and got a reply from Elvira, saying tht she was sorry for it, and if i could agian place the order by phone.So i called them to re-place my order.It's not easy to get thr', it took me half an hr...anyway, so placed my order, and paid the shipping agian, even though my 1st order was free shipping, coz my bill was abv $100...so just paid $6 shipping. Got an email confirming my order, n shipping details..so while i m waiting for it, I get another email saying this order has been cancelled again! so i write to Ms. elvira again, attaching all our previous emails, so tht she knows wht i am talking about..
this is wht i get a reply(after 10 days):

Thank you for writing to aldoshoes.com.
As discussed, this e-mail is a confirmation of your order cancellation (order#***)
Please let us know if we can assist you further.
Thank you for choosing ALDO.

Sincerely,

Elvira

I am wondering how dumb can these people be! I am writing to ask why my orders are being cancelled ?that is where YOU need to ASSIST me !
They should spend some money to train their CS.

So i am all confused at her reply and now i am going to find their corporate and write to them..that is if they care!

I m surely not buying frm there.

Guess what...that woman is hard working too and that is why she can dispose of a $100 pair of shoes. As a former assistant manager of Aldo's I can tell you that it is our policy, for EVERYONE, to accept reeturns up to ONE YEAR after the purchase date. Get a grip, both of you are probably poor low class people who are just angry that the comp;laint is coming from someone with more financial means than yourself. I will say that the employees responses to this customer would have never happend in my district, our DM nor our Regional Manger would have allowed it. Instead, I would have tried my best to accomodate the customer because regardless of how much money is being made, the bottom line in business is that there is alwaysan opportunity to MAKE EVEN MORE MONEY! How do youthink Aldo became so successful? It is through word-of-mouth, not advertising because the company doesn't spend money on advertising campaigns (which I know is a fact from working with the company). There are companies with longer histories that were also retiail leaders that no longer exist. If this type of customer service was the norm, trust that Aldo wouldn't be an industry leader. I am sorry that the associates at that location do not take pride in the company they work for or the fact that they are the "face" of the company. Clearly they are there for the paycheck and not to do their job. I hope that you will not abandon Aldo, I love them and only left for a career in the field for which I have a degree. COme to the East Coast where the managers know how to treat their customers.

I really don't think it matters who you are or what you do for a living. Big Corporation doesn't care, as you should know, since you're a CEO. Two rude sales associates won't change a thing. If it was me, I'd never visit that particular store again, but ALDO is everywhere. I'd just go online, or somewhere else. I'm a Private Investigator by day, and I make far less than you do for a living, but I will still gladly pay $100 for a good pair of shoes.One of my future sister in law's makes less than $8 an hour, and just paid $70 for a pair of shoes from ALDO. Reaper1 pointed out the punch line: your shoes were a YEAR OLD. You're lucky you got an exchange at all. Just because you're a "big shot" in your world doesn't make you a big shot to everyone else. You get the same treatment as everyone else does in this world. Another good point Reaper1 made: donate them. Could you image the joy it would bring someone to find a pair of ALDO shoes at Goodwill, or any thrift store? Your pain could be someone else's pleasure.

And I just have to add, that if I was in that ALDO store and saw you giving that kind of treatment to their employee's, whether they were being rude to you or not, I would have stepped in and said a few words. You can't expect anyone, including sales associates, to respect you if you disrespect them, which is what I think probably happened.

Reaper1, I've read a few of your repsonses now. Way to tell it like it is. Go you! The world needs more people like you. From one outspoken, hardworking American to another, you rock!
