      Monday feb 17th at the Pandora in California Adventure, KAYLA R took my brand new Pandora Moments Disney bracelet and broke the end off of it, and then wrapped it and boxed it to hike the fact she broke it. I have contacted both Disney and Pandora multiple times and they refuse to rectify the THEFT by their employee. The bracelet was a birthday gift worn less than 2 full days. It had been inspected the previous evening IN pandora downtown Disney. I want the bracelet exchanged

      Hi *******, 

      Thank you for contacting Pandora Jewelry. We are responding to your complaint made via Better Business Bureau.
      We are truly sorry to hear about the experience you've had with us, and we sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused. We absolutely want to make this right for you.
      To help us proceed with a replacement, we would just need to identify your bracelet. Unfortunately, the pictures you provided don’t clearly show the clasp design, and the item number on the receipt is a bit difficult to read due to the circle annotation.
      Could you kindly send us some additional pictures, especially of the outside of the clasp? It would also be helpful if you could let us know the size of the bracelet. Once we have this information, we'll be happy to send you a pre-paid return shipping label so you can send the bracelet back to us. If we have the replacement in stock, we’ll get it sent out to you with expedited shipping. If it’s out of stock, we’ll gladly offer you an e-gift card as a solution.
      We truly appreciate your understanding and patience, and we are committed to resolving this for you as quickly as possible.
      Thank you for choosing PANDORA!

      Kind Regards,

      Purchase a couple of items from Pandora for my wife and product is completely ruined. Went numerous time bought more cleaning products for it as the claim will fix it and no it just made worst.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 12/17/2024

      Prodigals tarnish for the amount of money that we spent on this product and them to guaranteed that the product won’t get bad like it did and then for us to take it to the jewelry shop, then clean it and for them to look at until there’s nothing that they can do after we spent over $400 on their product Well the clarification do we need. I refuse to acknowledge it. They refuse to take accountability for it and it’s like oh OK here just spent another $95 on the charm here just spent another hundred dollars on a bracelet. That’s not customer service.

      Order # *********** On November 20th, I purchased this item online and chose size 1 for pickup at a nearby store. I arrive to pick it up on the store only to find out it’s too small and I needed a size 2. I inform the sales representative and he said it’s final sale let me ask a manager. The manager, never approached me, never made eye contact and simple said “It’s final sale, nothing we can do, it is what it is”. The sales rep provided me a customer service number to call for a resolution, he assured me they would be able to help. The number provided was ###-###-#### and to my surprise it had prompts but after you select an option it’s dead air. I googled the number to Pandora and called ###-###-#### and spoke to a representative who provided me a case #******** and said she cannot do anything except provide me a discount code for a future purchase! I completely understand its final sale and I am not asking for a refund, but if the item doesn’t fit it should be available to exchange for a bigger size. The online size description is inaccurate. No one has compassion or empathy in this situation! I genuinely feel I donated my hard earned money to Pandora! The item is smaller than usual compared to my other three bracelets, please see the attached photos. I am hoping you would be available to assist me. I have emailed the Pandora team on Nov 22, 2024 and no response yet.

      Placed order on 6/27/24, Contacted Pandora 6/11/24 because *** indicated my order was left at an access point I went there and was advised my package was not there. On the tracing number the last update was that it was left at that location. Pandora took all this time (almost a month) to let me know my case is closed (even though *** closed the case 7.12.24) due to the fact they confirmed it was delivered to the drop off location. Between Pandora and *** no one can tell me who the package was given to. I contacted Pandora again today because I placed the order through them and not *** so they should be helping me solve this issue. However, the response given was the same response that's getting us nowhere, it was delivered to the access point so they can do nothing. An access point is not a direct delivery to me, it means nothing. I now have to contact and try to resolve this with ***. Of course that was ***etting because their rep gave me the same responses Pandora gave me. They look at the tracking number its easy for everyone to tell me it was left at that location however, no one has my signature or can prove that I actually received it. So what are they basing their answers on? I have never had an issue with *** leaving packages they decided to take it to that access point because it needed a signature which I did not provide since I never received it, the package was lost. I am responsible for paying over $400 for that order but neither company wants to take action and correct this issue and properly track and investigate. I keep getting the same bs responses that it was left there. Where is the signature proof of delivery? And why am I left to do the foot work. I ordered from Pandora not *** this is something they should investigate properly and handle. The funny thing is the delivery date provided by *** was 7/10/2024. I work in the city in the Bronx to be precise I was nowhere near my home to accept delivery and I can prove that with my work timesheet.

      Business Response

      Date: 08/26/2024

      We apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced with your order. Typically, we ask our customers to file a claim when an order is lost because *** requires information directly from the receiver to investigate. Now that the claim has been closed, we can proceed with refunding your order.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      At this point there is no need for a refund. *** was finally able to locate my package which I picked up. It was frustrating because *** was originally called to place the claim they closed the case the following day stating the package was delivered (which clearly was not delivered) at that time they left me with no other solution. I’m glad they were able to track it down and I received my charms.

      I placed an order online with Pandora yesterday and at the beginning of the order it mentioned an additional 10% off with a code I went through the order process and ordered 20 items but at no time during the process was there a place on the web site to enter the code. I went through the process carefully and suddenly the order was activated. I called and also chatted on line with Pandora. Told that nothing can be done. No refund no discount no returns allowed. Over the last 10’years I have ordered 100s of their products. I do not plan to deal with them if this is not resolved I believe it to be an error on their web site order process

      Business Response

      Date: 07/02/2024

      We apologize for any inconvenience caused regarding your order. Unfortunately, we are unable to apply the 10% discount, since the code needed to be applied before the order was processed, and the promotion for the extra 10% has now ended. However, as a gesture, we would like to offer you a 10% discount code that you can use towards your next purchase with us. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

      The purchase was made in Honolulu in the amount of $65.00 US$. This was purchased as a gift for me. The purchaser made all attempts to find out if this item had been recorded as purchased but the information was not available at the store. I contacted Pandora regarding the duplicate charm and was advised that if I followed through on returning the unused, new item to their warehouse, I would receive a refund. I stated that the purchase was made in the US but I was a Canadian citizen. I told them that I would access a US store to repurchase and that the refund should come in the currency in which the transaction was processed. I was given a refund of $70.00 Canadian which should have been closer to $85.00 with exchange. This is an unacceptable return policy. I realize the amount is very small but it is the principle of the transaction that should be taken into account. I have been a loyal and rather extensive Pandora consumer in the past. I have now received three emails stating that they would get back to me with 1 - 3 business days but have received no further response. I trust that you will be able to work on my behalf to provide a satisfactory response.

      We do apologize for the delay in our response. We have reviewed your request and would be happy to assist further.
       
      You received an e-gift card that has a value of $70.00CAN to reflect the Canadian retail value of the charm you returned as a warranty exchange. A warranty exchange only reflects the retail value of the item returned.

      If you would like to receive the full amount paid, please reply to this email with an image of your Pandora receipt showing proof of purchase. Once we receive this image, we will review the information and reply with how we are able to proceed.

      On December 17, 2023 I purchased two charms for $199.34 from Pandora in Costa Mesa, CA as a gift. I attempted to return the charms to the store I purchased them from twice. I was told by the store salespeople that the charms could not be returned due to an error message of "transaction failed violation of law" although I was clearly still in the return window. They made me feel like a criminal when I had done nothing wrong but try to return an item. I am not sure what this error message means but the store would not return the charms. I spoke to several managers who were also confused by this error message that came up in their system. The managers also did not know how to proceed with the return and refused to return the charms as well. So I am out of $200 due to Pandora not knowing how to return their own items. I have called Pandora numerous times to resolve this and have even filed a complaint with the Corporate office and still have not received a response from anyone. How can Pandora do business this way?

      Hello *******, 

      Thank you for contacting Pandora Jewelry.



      We have received your complaint through Better Business Bureau and apologize for your experience while visiting one of our Pandora locations. 

      I understand you would like a full refund for the charms with item numbers [782591C01 & 781728CZ]. 

      We are pleased to offer a refund in the form of an e-gift card for the value of $199.34. We would also like to offer a 15% discount code to be used online, for the inconveniences you have experienced. 

      In order for the gift card to be issued we have to receive the charms you would like to return prior. Due to the purchase occurring during a promotional time period, we would also need to receive the promotional bracelet included with the purchase. 

      Please be advised, if you do not want to receive the refund in the form of a e-gift card, we are more than happy to work with our accounting department to issue the refund in the form of a check. If you would like to move forward with the check option, please be aware, the processing time frame could take anywhere from 8-10 weeks. 

      Please reply to this email letting us know which option you would like to proceed with. Once we receive the requested information, we will provide a Pre-Paid Return Shipping label from *** for you to return the items.

      Once again, we do apologize for the inconveniences that you have experienced but are glad that we are able to assist.

      I would like to respond to Pandora's offer for the return of the two bracelet charms I purchased.  I am requesting to get my money back for the return once the charms have been brought back to the store. On my receipt it states that if I return the items in the original condition by January 28, 2024, I can receive a full refund or an exchange.  I attempted to return the charms on January 14, 2024 as shown in the attached document.  I was not able to return the charms due an error message in Pandora's system.  I do not feel it is in good faith for the customer to have to wait 8-10 weeks for Pandora to send a check for the purchase that would have been returned within the allotted time displayed on the sales receipt. Pandora should abide by their sales contract and return my money upon the return of the items. After several attempts to return the charms for a refund, it does not appear that Pandora will refund me the money once the charms are in their possession.  I would like to know what documents I will be provided to ensure that I will be refunded the money I paid for the charms.

      To whom this may concern I made a purchase online at Pandora on February 5th, the order supposedly got delivered on the 8th by the mailman and placed inside of a flower pot that I do not own or have, instead of my mailbox. Now I’m having trouble getting a refund back from Pandora after reporting I never received the items I purchased.
