I had no idea I was buying from abroad

I had no idea I was buying from abroad, and was completely puzzled when a customs slip arrived for £ 68 odd. That is a huge amount of money, and had I any idea this might happen I should never have ordered the shoes in the first place. My husband received a pair of shoes from you about 3 weeks ago, and they came straight here - no customs.

They erase negative reviews & do nothing after they say contact us

The company erased my HONEST negative review after initially responding online (so public could see) telling me to contact them. I called the number,bear they gave me, left a message and never heard from them! Wasted over $200 on shoes that killed my feet after 1st wear. Not my 1st pair from the brand, but certainly my last. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ** I bought them from Mephisto.com and now they tell me to email them . First they said Call them and I wasted my time getting no response!

Hello,
We thank you for your comment and are sorry that you had a problem with our brand.
We regret your negative experience and take it very seriously.
First of all, however, we would like to clarify that we are not in a position to delete reviews—Trustpilot does not allow participating companies to do so.
It appears that your experience relates to a purchase made in the US (you mention $). However, this profile here at Trustpliot is exclusively for reviewing our European online shop at www.mephisto.com.
We therefore kindly ask you to contact us by email (info@mephisto.com) and provide your order number and the online shop where you made your purchase. We will then do our best to find a solution to your issue.
We thank you for your trust and wish that your next purchase brings you full satisfaction.
Sincerely,
Your official Mephisto online store

You sent the wrong colour shoes

You sent the wrong colour shoes. If you can't even get the basics right how can I mark you more than 1 star.

Mephisto may have great shoes but their return policy leaves a lot to be desired! You can never talk to a customer rep, only AI. When I was finally able to return an ill- fitting pair of shoes, they just canceled another pair that I had ordered as replacements without explanation! Worst customer service ever!!!

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration; however, it appears your experience was with our US website (mephistousa.com) and not our European site, which operates completely independently with its own teams and processes.
For any questions regarding your order on the US site, please contact the American customer service team directly via email or phone.
Their team will be able to assist you and resolve your issue appropriately.
Best regards,
