Man calls out shoe vendor for failing to deliver order after paying ₦38,500, demands refund

A Nigerian man has taken to his social media page to call out a shoe vendor after she refunded his ₦38,500, following repeated failure to deliver his order and lying that the market was closed for business.

In a detailed post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the man recounted his experience with the vendor, who he had placed an order with for a pair of shoes worth ₦38,500.

After making the payment, he was informed that the vendor had closed for the year and would not resume operations until a month later.

Despite several follow-ups, including messaging the vendor on WhatsApp, the man was given various excuses.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the young man purchased the shoe from another vendor. He then requested a refund from the original vendor, but she continued to provide excuses.

Frustrated, he took to social media to share his experience.

Less than 24 hours later, the vendor reportedly contacted him and refunded the money.

In his post, the man wrote: “On December 29th, I made an urgent purchase from @ps_wears, which she promised to deliver by the next day. The following day, however, she tweeted that she was closed for the year and wouldn’t resume until the 16th of the following month.”

“After my Twitter account was restricted for seven days, I resorted to asking her on WhatsApp if my order would be affected since I had already paid before the tweet. To my surprise, I received no response.”

“After several days of no reply, I messaged her on Instagram, requesting a refund since I had already bought the shoes elsewhere. She responded by saying she needed to verify whether my order had been shipped and asked for more time.”

“I was forced to purchase another pair at the Arena Army shopping complex in Oshodi, where I found many vendors eager to do business. I don’t know who told @ps_wears that the market was closed and that nothing could be shipped out.”

“After her response, I explained that I urgently needed the shoes for my seminar presentation on the 10th of the month, but I still received no reply. I then kindly informed her in a direct message that I had already bought another pair and would like a refund as soon as she resumed sales. Unfortunately, there was no further response.”

“By January 16th, I was still waiting. She continued to ask for more time to verify something as simple as whether the shoes had been sent, which seemed unreasonable given that the delay had already been significant.”

Finally, the man confirmed the refund, stating: “She has refunded the money.”
