wow...looks like i am not the only one…

wow...looks like i am not the only one with an issue with GolfEtail. I ordered a "softshell" sweatshirt and the item arrived as a regular sweatshirt - i called to return the item and the person wasn't helpful that answered and didn't follow through with sending me an email to complete the return. I have also emailed their "support" email address with no answer. He told me that return would be $4, but when I try to process only I am redirected to PayPal for $13 with no option to make a change....very underwhelming experience.

"softshell" is the description of the sweatshirt. Manufacturer term. This item was described correctly. You may return the order for a refund. USPS shipping should be much less than $13. The option to purchase a label from our website is for larger items. " If your return is less than 1 pound we suggest you check with your local post office for a lower rate."

Just a recommendation to whomever owns…

Just a recommendation to whomever owns stock in this company....I always read customer reviews and I can usually spot when someone is exaggerating in their complaint and will take some complaints with a grain of salt. This was the case with some of the reviews and complaints on your site. However, after reading the replies from "Jaimi" I have decided not to place my order. Regardless of the ridiculousness of the complaints, the person representing your company, in these responses, is childish and unable to manage professional communication with your clients. Instead they are condescending, snarky, and over-sensitive. Someone in customer must have a thick-skin, realize that the best way promote the company's image is to respond politely and do all you can to make the customer feel as though their issue has been resolved to their satisfaction (even when it has not). The person must have finesse! One final tip, it's quite obvious when a positive review is being written by a friend or colleague (or self), such as the one by "Mike Culver". The wording to describe "Jaimi" was clearly in response to the negative responses about him/her. My suggestion would be to make these reviews less puffed up, i.e., "Jaimi is a wonderful resource to have in a customer service position". Jaimi's name is not a common spelling, it's very unlikely "Mike" just happened to get the spelling correct. If you, the stockholder of this company, have hired friends to work for you, know that they are hurting your revenue and reputation. If you just happen to have hired some bad apples, I'd cut them loose.

1/20/21 Update to review/reply to review: Simple, because of your replies to the other reviews! Your replies are a significant part of your overall product, and I didn’t like what I saw, so I purchased the item elsewhere.

I just called “customer service” due to…

I just called “customer service” due to a package never shipping nor received. Called them and the person answered was exceptionally rude by talking over me and interrupting me multiple times with excuses and defenses as to why the company was inefficient and told me she was not at all concerned what I thought. She was very shrill and unprofessional.

I called back and asked to speak to her supervisor. The person claimed to be the owner of the company (he acted as though he was having a defensive relationship with her) and he was unprofessional and rude as well. This is a company that is not concerned with customers nor taking a proper business posture or positive communication with customers. Additionally, their people answering customer service telephone lines are full of excuses for not timely shipping packages.

I will never order from them again and nor should you the reader...vote by taking your dollars somewhere else.

thank you for your comments. I remember this conversation very well. This customer was aggressive when calling to check on his order, placed on Friday and shipped Monday. Called Tuesday to accuse GolfEtail of delaying his order.
By the way, the order was shipped and delivered in 4 business days (with free shipping)
Thank you for choosing to shop elsewhere

Lip Service Not Customer Service

This company has no customer service just lip service. BUYER BEWARE AND BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK! As a consumer, I just want to get what I paid for in the size I paid for. If the size is too small, I should be able to send it back but this company wants to sell you a UPS sticker for $12 to send back plus a re-stocking charge of $15. The vest only cost $15 to start with. I am better off giving it to Goodwill than be out more money with a company that won't stand behind what they are selling.

Wow. Have you tried to contact us? Because if you did, we could explain to you that the label offered for purchase is for larger items. You can return this small item by USPS for just a couple dollars. We would also offer you to purchase the correct size at the same $8 sale price (not $15) you paid during this Flash Sale. also, the restocking fee is $5 no $15 and is never charged if you place a new order. The only extra cost is return shipping on the item that doesn't fit.
I'm Jaimi, and I AM customer service.

The negative reviews are well deserved

My "new" golf shoes were a $57 bargain because they were actually factory seconds. (The New Balance logo was razor cut and peeled off the shoe box.) For something minor, like a cosmetic blemish, I would chalk it up to experience and get on with playing golf. In this case, one round in, the sole started peeling off the shoe. Then, after I paid $13 to return ship the garbage they issued a $26 refund. PayPal dispute filed and YOU have been warned.

Apologies for the partial refund. When the return was received, there was no comments that the shoes were defective. We just received USED shoes. So we issued a 50% refund. Once we realized the issue, the balance of the refund was given. full refund on this item. (they were not seconds. We only sell first quality product.) This item was defective and returned to the manufacturer

No Customer Support

After receiving the wrong size vest, I was told to take pictures. GolfEtail has no customer support. So if your order isn’t right, they won’t help you. Now I paid for two vests and can wear one. Last time for me GolfEtail

Great customer service - Mike Culver

I recently ordered some apparel from Golfetail. Due to an input error on my part the order was cancelled.

I contacted Jaimi in customer service to assist me . She immediately analyzed the reason for cancellation and sent me a link to place a replacement order. Her assistance was prompt and very courteous. My problem was resolved and the new order was placed and processed quickly.

I live in the Midwest and was surprised how quick I received the merchandise.

Jaimi is a wonderful resource to have in a customer service position.

I will do business with GolfEtail again.

This store is a rip off

This store is a rip off. I ordered a pair of golf shoes. they sent the wrong size. I had to then pay the return shipping for $12.20 and a re-stocking fee. So, my $52 purchase only returned $35. This company is a scam.

Sorry, we don't offer free return shipping on shoes that don't fit. We can always help with a new order, sometimes even with a discount, and/or free shipping. No restocking fee if you place a new order.

I ordered a driver from GolfEtails

I ordered a driver from GolfEtails. I thought I was getting the older model, but was surprised when it came and was a newer model. It was exactly what I ordered. It's probably just that the picture was the older model. I love the driver. It also arrived sooner than promised.

Do not order from this company

Do not order from this company. I ordered a pair of Skecher Golf Shoes. I wore them for a few holes and there was no support at all in the show and got blisters. I contacted the company, and because I had worn them, they wouldn't take them back or even give me a credit. So now I'm stuck with a pair of shoes I will never wear. Horrible customer service.

I couldn't ever count the number of items I have purchased thru this site, but it's a big number. If there are any problems or sizing issues with what you get, they take care of it very easily with their customers. Everything you get from them is as first class as the manufacturer has made it....nothing damaged or abused. VERY GOOD company to deal with.

I ordered golf clubs the week before Christmas. They were guaranteed to arrive by December 23rd. I paid the extra shipping cost to have them 2nd day air shipped. They didn't arrive until December 27th. I tried to call Golfetail several times and had to leave messages. I also sent them several messages online. I still haven't heard back. So disappointing!

I never write reviews

I never write reviews, but came across this site and read the negative reviews. I have been ordering from GolfEtail for over ten years and never once had a problem. One time I needed to return 3 shirts and the process went smoothly. I have also utilized their golf club trade- in division and that also went smoothly.
Thank You GolfEtail

I ordered golf gloves and a hat -- never received them -- emailed them multiple times and they would never respond - I have done prior business with them for the past couple of years -- I will never do business with these people again and will post as many bad reviews where ever I can - all they care about is getting their money and don't care if the products get delivered or not

Sorry we don’t offer free returns.
There is an option on our website to purchase a shipping label that should be less than what you would pay at USPS

Avoid this site!

I have purchased several items from this company and have until recently had been mostly satisfied, at least until my last purchase. I bought a gps watch from them and within days of receiving it they placed it on sale for $24 cheaper. I contacted them and even though they say on their web site that they provide excellent customer service, they refused to provide me with even basic customer service. I will never purchase from this site again and would not recommend anyone else purchase from them either!

Payment made - no product received

Ordered golf shoes for $80USD. Order was never received. No form of contact with the company was ever acknowledged or returned. Office hours?...I don’t think so...

Filed PayPal grievance.

Absolute joke

Absolute joke. Don't buy anything from them. Their idea if customer service is ridiculous. The ad that was sent to me was a "flash sale" for either a hybrid rescue club or a 5w fairway wood for $39. I chose the 5w fairway wood. What was sent to my house was a 3w, which I had already purchased from them. When I called about switching the product for the 5w, I am told "oh, that is just a stock photo" when you click on the choice to order, it only pops up as a 3w and that is what you clicked." So, now, I am stuck paying this joke of a firm to return their club because they use "stock photos".

We have responded you multiple times. We shipped the club you ordered. Many of our items have option choices. You have to select the loft, flex or size, color etc.
we have issued a full refund for the club that was returned.
