On Nov 08, 2024, I purchased a necklace from Tiffany online with the order number #*********. I have never received the necklace, my apartment leasing manager has camera footage proving this. The package was either stolen or never delivered. I have reported this incidence to the police with the case number: *********. However, as I promptly discuss this matter with Tiffany for a resolution. The customer service kept pushing me back with absurd reasons and refused to resolve.Business response

Purchased a necklace from a Tiffany's location in June, the necklace clasp broke in September. I took it back to the store that I purchased it from and they said it would be a few weeks to repair and cost an additonal amount after already for the necklace not even 3 months before. I reached out to customer support to inquire about why it would cost me an additonal amount when it was recently purchased. They ended up saying that it is cover under a warranty for a year and I should not be charged for the repair and that they can't help with the estimate/charge for the repair since it was already sent out. I have not paid for the repair yet but they are now holding the necklace since its repaired but I have not paid. This feels incredibly scummy.Business response

During a vacation trip to *************, I purchased a necklace from the landmark Tiffany's store on October 26, 2024. When I showed my daughter, she pointed out that the heart had a ***** **** on it. A few days after my purchase when I returned home, I contacted Tiffany's about the defective necklace. I was told that since it was purchased at the landmark store, the associate who sold it to me would contact me with a resolution.Weeks later, several telephone calls later, several promises made and not fulfilled, I am still waiting for someone to contact me. It appears that delay is a tactic that is being used since the replacement window ends 30 days after purchase.I've read the other complaints and does appear that the level of customer service has significantly declined with this company.Business response

Dear BBB,
Apologies for the late reply and sorry to hear about the situation the client encountered. After doing some research I see that the client was able to return the necklace for a refund.

Dear Tiffany & Co team,The decline of customer experience I recently encountered at the Tampa store # *** is alarming. The extent of the decline is appalling and goes against every core value of the beloved brand. Ive never been treated so terribly and disrespected by any retailer, let alone the brand famous for its finesse and class. I visited the store on June 6th to drop off two items for repairs. I was mistreated, however, let that go. I returned to the store on 8.24.24 to pick up both my items. Manager ******* retrieved my items, handed me my two pouches holding items and asked if I was ready to pay. I politely asked to box my items because the presentation always accommodated my repairs and polishing in the past. ******* laughed to my face with No, we never box repairs, only new purchases. When I questioned her, she raised her voice with That is a policy, we do not box repairs. If I box it for you, it may end up on ****** People sell the empty boxes on ***** and for that reason our policy does not allow us to give out boxes. After I asked to see the policy prohibiting ********* presentation for paying customers, she informed me that she will make a one-time exception for me. Visibly annoyed, ******* quickly & sloppy wrapped two boxes, and stuffed them in a tiny bag. ******* did not offer to clean/polish the jewelry I was wearing. I left the store heartbroken and in disbelief of the treatment I received. Dear Tiffany, What do other peoples actions on **** have to do with me? Insinuating that I requested to package my 2 repaired items so that I can sell 2 empty boxes is not only ridiculous but disrespectful and appalling. This experience is nothing short of a slap in the face. We have been loyal to the brand for almost 2 decades, purchased items and visited stores in the ** and abroad. I could never dream of such a terrible treatment. 1. Is that your policy regarding the packaging?2. Was standard of service violated by ******* and Hope?Business response

Dear BBB,
We have addressed the clients concerns with a letter sent on September 6th after a lengthy conversation with one of our directors, in the conversation with the director and in the letter we explained our typical practice is not to return repaired merchandise in blue boxes at our store locations. We do not have a written policy to this effect to provide. Separately, we expressed our regret that the client was not pleased with the service she received at the store and have addressed this matter appropriately with the store in question.
We now consider this matter closed.Sincerely,

I purchased a Tiffany South Sea ********************* Pendant for $3928.5(including taxes) on 05/08/2024 as a gift to my wife, the package came on 05/10/2024 night. After I opened the package, there were just gift wraps in the package but not the necklace. And the receipt was also missing from the package.I reached out to Tiffany on 05/11/2024 and they said they opened a case for investigation and needs a couple of weeks to get a conclusion.On 06/18/2024, I received an update from Tiffany saying the investigation was completed and the claim was denied. Tiffany suggested I dispute with my credit card company. I tried to dispute but the dispute was rejected on 07/04/2024.On 07/05/2024, I called Tiffany for the reason why the claim was denied, it turned out that they asked ***** to do an investigation and ***** just gave them my signature and photos of the package. I told them I actually have evidence suggesting the package was opened and taped back but Tiffany said I should have noticed that at the time I started the claim and there is nothing they can do even if I have new evidence now. Tiffany did ask me if I saw the package came damaged at the time I filed the claim but I was not able to tell since the package was opened from the side and taped back carefully. I only noticed this after a closer look but Tiffany never followed up with me on if I have new evidence or they progress on the investigation.Business response

Hello Sir/madam I bought a necklace at the Tiffany&Co store in the ***************** in *******. I asked to return the necklace to the store credit. Because this necklace has never been worn. It's brand new. The request was refused by the direct manager of the Tiffany&Co. However, she didn't give me any other solution. The store manager was so rude that she didn't even send me off. She said that if I was not satisfied, I would complain to customer service. Then I wrote many emails to the customer service of this company. And got a reply that they only served online orders. Their departments have passed the buck to each other, which has left me with no way to lodge a complaint. I think Tiffany&Co's store in ***************** is very disrespectful to consumers and I have been treated unfairly. I'd like to ask this institution to follow up for me. Thank you for your help!Business response
