Terrible experience with MR PORTER
Terrible experience with MR PORTER – avoid this store
I had, and continue to have, a terrible experience with MR PORTER.
I ordered one pair of shoes in two different sizes to ensure one would fit. As soon as I received them, I tried both on, kept one pair, and returned the other — unworn and in perfect condition. A few days later, I received an email saying they would not issue a refund for the returned pair, claiming there were scratches. This is absolutely false. I have 3 family members who can witness this.
Without giving me a real chance to dispute it, they sent the shoes back to me. However, UPS did not require a signature for the delivery and simply left the package at the door — (when a signature was requiered) and now the parcel is lost. I never received it.
Now I’m stuck trying to get a refund for a returned item I never got back, and that I had returned in perfect condition in the first place. MR PORTER has been dismissive and unhelpful throughout the entire process.
The customer service is unacceptable, and the company refuses to take responsibility. They seem to forget that consumer protection laws require them to accept returns and issue refunds when items are returned properly. There's no way around it — it's the law.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this store. If something goes wrong, you’re on your own.
-----------
03/08/25 Mr Porter arranged for the return of my goods, but the parcel was lost by UPS. I have been in contact with your customer service for weeks now, yet I have still not received a refund.
To make matters worse, UPS has harassed members of my family, including a minor, in connection with this delivery. This is completely unacceptable and deeply unprofessional.
I am genuinely shocked that a simple €72 refund has been turned into such a drawn-out and mismanaged fiasco. Instead of resolving the matter promptly, MR PORTER is now making the situation worse with every passing day.
At this point, I have no choice but to involve a lawyer and seek compensation beyond the original refund for the stress and inconvenience caused. Your lack of resolution and customer care is not only disappointing — it may also have legal consequences.
I strongly urge you to process the refund immediately and provide a clear explanation. Otherwise, legal steps will follow without further notice.
