Ok, yeah, how they handle it is crucial, and I'm a business owner, so I get this part of it entirely. Sportsman's, who is one of Crispi's vendors, wouldn't even replace the boot. They said all they can do is refund me. That's ******** customer service. For $400!? gtfoh! A huge waste of time…
I would have a 200% complete replace/repair policy on any of my boots at $400 a pair.
Refund and Replace are essentially the same thing.
I'd have to guess the only reason they couldn't replace is they didn't have another identical set in stock.
Sportsmans is a seller of the boot not the manufacturer. Should they offer you double money back on a product they don't produce?
I'm curious what kind of business you operate? Do you offer double money back on failures/issues?
