Zappos or Shoebuy?

SaRina — Sat, 12 Dec 2015 17:07:26 GMT

Shoebuy seems to have much better prices, but I have not had any experience with them. Has anyone had experience with both and which do you prefer? TIA.

I removed my previous post. I said I bought a pair from Shoebuy but I actually bought from ShoeMall with no problems.

I bought one pair of boots for daughter. the box came somewhat beat up as if it had been handled many many times .This leads me to believe they sell some kind of "left overs" that they maybe buy in bulk or something like that. The boots looked tried on too, but not horrible so she kept them. I've had that experience with zappos too, but most of the time zappos does not look tried on too many times. Maybe once or twice, or not at all. Same with Amazon.

I buy from shoebuy, shoe.com and onlineshoes all the time. I Never had a problem with their quality, or shipment. I have returned a few because I didn't like them, and always received a prompt refund. They are always free shipping (they used to have free shipping on returns but I don't see that anymore.) But, you will usually get 20-30% off most shoes you order. I never buy from zappos anymore because I get much better deals elsewhere. Also, checfk on Amazoon. You have to watch daily for the best prices, but I bought a pair of Naturalizer boots that were going for $145-170 for the longest time, then one day I checked and it was for $60.00. I couldn't believe it!. I bought them and LOVED them! Nothing at all wrong with it. The next day it went back to $145. Sometimes you get lucky!

I shop at both. Also very good experience with onlineshoes.com which I really like. No complaints at all.

I've bought from both. Zappos shipping was quicker, but I think it's because they are closer to me. I mostly buy from ShoeBuy. If you join their program you will get $10 after you spend X amount. Shipping from ShoeBuy sometimes is directly from the manufacturer and can take a little longer. If you return them it will cost just under $7 for shipping. ShoeBuy has been having a 30% off sale for the last couple of weeks, so their stock is getting low. I wanted to buy two different styles in Softwalks but can't get them in my size anymore. Bottom line - either company is good.

I've used both. Shoe Buy has more deals but Zappos gives me so very many more choices. Also like Amazon.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. It was too late to cancel my order for Aerosoles from Zappos, but that's ok. It was about a $25 difference from Shoebuy. Now I know for next time. :-)

I buy a lot from Shoebuy. I find items FAR cheaper on Shoebuy due to coupons. Shoebuy is one of my favorite sites. Zappos is far more expensive as one can't use coupons. QVC is higher, usually, too.

I've found the same shoes/boots at Shoebuy that QVC and Zappos have for 30% less.

I also buy from ShoeBuy. Sign up for their emails and you'll get wonderful coupons for 15-30% off quite frequently. I've never had a problem with them.

They used to have free return shipping, but now they charge a $6.95 "handling fee" for returns. But with the coupons they offer, they still have good prices.

The best place online to buy shoes is Zulily. Their prices can't be beat and the shoes are fresh from the factory and have never even been tried on a single time.

LOVE Shoebuy.

If I see a shoe I like, I always check Shoebuy to see if they carry it. The best prices, good service, and my shoes have always been - or appeared - brand new.

Zappos has a fuller selection. And their service is great - very speedy. Prices are higher at Zappos and I don't see good sales or promotions there.

I have looked at 6 pm, the sister site to Zappos, where shoes are discounted. Selection there is limited and I often don't find the size, color or style I want. But if they have what you want, the price will be low.

Shoebuy, no question. As others have mentioned, the discounts and coupons are terrific. Could never afford Spring Step shoes if it wasn't for Shoebuy. Right now the discount coupon is for 40% off, and I'm staying away from them, or I will be very very naughty.

Shoebuy has much better prices, free shipping and easy to do business with. I have ordered several pairs from them and been very happy, just be sure of your size in the shoe brand you want to order. It seems every shoe maker runs different in size.

I definitely use Shoebuy. Their coupons can't be beat and they are easy with returns.

I can always find a coupon code for shoebuy. Zappos doesn't offer coupons. I've ordered from shoebuy half a dozen times and have been quite pleased.

Another vote for Shoebuy - I just ordered a pair of athletic shoes the other day. I have great luck with 6pm also.

********************If you find a pair at Zappos and they're on another site for less, Zappos will match the price which may be helpful if the other site has shipping charges.

Zappos is owned by Amazon. Any shoes I have looked for on the one site is the same price and size/color availability as the other site. Depends upon brand of course, but I have also noted that nothing is available on Zappos/Amazon that is not available on the shoe company's website and the prices are also the same, i.e. no bargains.
