Complaint Details
Pajar boots were purchased from Hudson Bay in Dec 2020 for approx $500. Worn very little last winter and when I brought them out to wear this winter I noticed the logo had come off the side and left a hole in the suede. The boots were brought back to The Bay who said the issue would have to go to the manufacturer. On Dec 8,2021 I emailed the manufacturer with photos. I received a reply the next day that replacement logos would be sent out and I could bring it to a shoemaker for repair. I had hoped to not incur any further costs and inquired about them doing the repair. There were several email threads with Alicia and Andrea from customer service and I was told several times they were discussing the repair with their shoemaker and would get back to me. They never did and when I finally did get another response I was told their shoemakers were too busy and I would have to take care of it myself. This whole process took approx 2 months and I was still no further ahead. They had my mailing address since that original email on Dec 9th and I had received no logos so I thought there was a plan in place to have the boots repaired by Pajar. There were several other emails in which I was told that they were speaking to their shoemaker regarding the repair. I continued to get no response and I continued to reach out. Eventually I was told that because the boots were purchased from a third party and passed warranty, there was nothing they could do. I reiterated my concerns with the defective boots and the months of useless back and forth communication. Finally on Feb 25th I was assured the logos were on the way yet they never arrived. This was my 3rd pair of Pajar boots which I purchase because they were known for warmth, quality and comfort. It seems their standards have dropped and their customer service is a disgrace. As it turns out, the logo came off the other boot just a few days ago leaving a hole in the suede of that boot as well so now both are defective. I have tried several more times to get replacement logos and only ever receive nonsense replies like that they were coming from Montreal and could be delays. Cmon, I live in Ottawa and it is now Mar 10 and they are still not here. There is nothing more frustrating than feeling ripped off and lied to. Thanks Pajar for putting profits over people!
Update March 15-- With no responses to recent emails, I tried messaging them yesterday using my other email address. Lo and behold I did get a response telling me that the logos were sent to me not once, but twice and that if the courier did not get them to me it was out of their control and must have been an issue with my address(LMAO). I have requested proof to support their claims and can pretty much guarantee that it is one more bogus response from Alicia. Here are her exact words... With that being said, we understand that you are not satisfied, but please be advised on 2 occasions, we have sent you the logos in order for you to install them.
"If you have not received them, this is something that is out of our control since the courier did not deliver you the logos.
All of our customers throughout North America have received whether it was logos, grippers, laces or keys except you.
It seems there's something happening with your address as to why you probably did not receive them, but that has nothing to do with our staff or the Customer Service that was provided to you.
