Shipping issues

The first response was basically that it was my problem to deal with the shipper. It took a long time to resolve . I had been waiting for weeks to receive product, weeks for the resolution to lost product, and now it will be weeks until I receive a replacement. Even if the insoles work, it is unlikely I will order anything from you again.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration and delay you experienced. This is absolutely not the kind of experience we want our customers to have.

We always strive to ensure our shipping partners maintain the highest standards, and when issues like this arise, we immediately work to resolve them and make things right. We understand how inconvenient this has been, and we genuinely appreciate your patience as we worked through the situation.

If there are any problems with the delivery of your replacement order, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at support@thexstance.com so we can investigate and address it promptly.

We truly value your feedback, and we hope you’ll consider this an isolated case. We would love the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Warm regards,

If I could give ZERO stars for customer…

If I could give ZERO stars for customer service I would. My entire experience with this company has been horrible. First, when you try to place an order they keep pushing “a better deal” if you buy more. I made the mistake of clicking on the deal just to look at it and somehow it added three more pairs to my order without me realizing it. I emailed them as soon as I saw it, less than 24 hours later, to cancel that second order and was told it was too late and I would have to return them once they arrived.

They showed up quickly and as soon as they arrived I tried them in several pairs of shoes and my boots. They did not work in anything. They made the instep too high and completely uncomfortable.

I emailed customer service again and told them I wanted to return them. Instead of giving me instructions I got an email asking why I wanted to return them and trying to convince me to keep them or give them away as a gift.

I emailed back and said no I want to return them. Then I got another email telling me to fill out a Google form with a bunch of questions just to process my return. Annoying, but I did it. That was three days ago. I have heard nothing even after sending another email telling them I am still waiting for a response.

I shop online all the time. I live in a small town so it is more convenient, and I have never had such a horrible experience returning an item.

So when they say they offer a 90 day guarantee, good luck getting that. And do not click on those extra specials at the end of your purchase or you might end up buying more than you intended like I did.

Hi there,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with us! This is definitely not the type of experience we want anyone to have with XSTANCE. We hear you loud and clear about the ordering process, and the last thing we want is for anyone to feel overwhelmed or frustrated while just trying to check out. Our intention with any extra offers is to highlight savings opportunities, but these are completely optional, and you can always choose to opt out.

In regard to the cancellation, we appreciate that you reached out immediately to cancel the additional order, but unfortunately, it looks like it didn’t make it in time. During this busy period, we closely work with our shipping team to ensure we prioritize shipping and have been expediting deliveries to get orders to customers as quickly as possible.

We’re also sorry that the insoles didn’t work for you and caused discomfort. In general, we recommend wearing insoles for a few hours at a time in the beginning and gradually increasing usage until you become accustomed to them. If you’ve tried this and it still didn’t work, we completely understand and can certainly help with the return and refund. We guide our customers through the process and always aim to work with them to find the best solution so they’re not stuck with something they don’t want. Around the holiday season, some customers have considered gifting the insoles, and we also understand that returning a product can sometimes be challenging. That’s why we’ve suggested a few options, which are meant as optional ideas. We never intend for anyone to keep a product unwillingly, and we’ve also offered a little something for those who may choose to keep them. Whatever happens, you can be fully assured that you’re covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee.

We’re always committed to making sure every customer receives a timely response, so our team is available 24/7 and aims to respond within 24 hours. If you don’t receive a reply within that time, it’s worth checking your spam or junk folder, as sometimes emails land there.

We sincerely thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and apologize that your experience with us wasn’t a good one. We truly understand how frustrating this situation has been, and we want you to know that we’ve taken note of everything you’ve shared. Hearing directly from our customers helps us improve our service so that future experiences are smoother, easier, and more satisfying!

Amazing

For only wearing the insoles for 3 days. My foot problem feels so much better. I can walk faster and can get out of a car better and standing up better

Your delivery service needs to be replaced. Uni is absolutely terrible. They employ people who do not know how to find obvious delivery locations.

I ordered the Xstance insoles due to my PF (Plantar Fasciitis). Upon using them a few times they were not the right item for my foot. I contacted the company and Rep. Stephanie helped me with the return process. The insoles seemed of good quality, but did not help my situation unfortunately.

Nice quality arch supports

The arch supports seems to be helping my foot issues. I like that you can cut them to match each shoe by matching the old insoles to the new XSTANCE Insoles and then cutting them for a perfect fit.

Misleading pricing and poor customer…

Misleading pricing and poor customer service. Made a purchase for $34.95 which included free heel guide valued at $19.95 which included shipping and handling. Cost paid was $41.28 and very hard to finish payment without pressure watch other videos in hopes of you making add'l purchase. Was tax calculated based on the addition of the $19.95 free download and why wd $6.30 in tax be added to a $34.95 chge? Called and left msg, but no return. Bad business practices. Will not be ordering ever again.

Hi Gladys,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience! This is absolutely not the kind of interaction we want you to have with us. Thank you for taking the time to share this, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify.

The XSTANCE Heel Guide is indeed free, and while its value shows during checkout, a discount of the same amount is automatically applied, fully offsetting it. Plus, the shipping and handling is also completely free. In regards to the tax, it is not calculated from the $19.95 value. It’s determined by your state’s tax rules, which is something we unfortunately can’t control on our end.

We also understand that the video and promotional offers may have felt overwhelming. We run different promotions from time to time with the intention of giving customers more options, but we understand how it can sometimes come across as too much. Your feedback is incredibly helpful, and we’ll be sharing it with our team.

Lastly, our team works 24/7 as we always want to make sure we’re here for our customers. Our response time is typically within 24 hours, and we reply in the order messages are received. In some cases, emails may land in spam or junk folders, so it’s worth checking there as well.

We’re very sorry for the frustration this caused. If there’s anything you’d like us to look into or resolve for you personally, we’d love to help! Please feel free to reach out, and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

Warm regards,
The XSTANCE Team

First I found out that I had misspelled my own email address, which is why I hadn’t received an email that my order was placed. After giving my correct email address and a nice response that my order had been processed! I finally got my insoles yesterday and the work great! Thank you for the help!
