I submitted a return request on Saturday, May 25, 2024, for order number ***********, consisting of three items. The instructions asked me to use the provided address to mail the return and to include the packing slip. The shipping address was *****************************************************************. The items were confirmed as returned by **** and were delivered on June 15, 2024, according to tracking number **********************. It has been 43 days since the delivery, and I have not received a refund or any indication of a refund. The three items were brand new and returned within the required timeframe, so I am owed $395.35. I am requesting that a refund be issued as sufficient time has passed, and it is unfair to file a complaint to receive the refund. I have attached the documents, including the packing slip and return label, that support my claim. Thank you for your assistance.Business response

I bought two orders on Coachoutlet's official website: *********** and *** ********. One of the orders purchased 5 packages and received only 4, and the other order purchased 3 packages and only received ONE. Which is a very outrageous behavior. But they refused to give me after-sales service to deal with my problem. The reason is that there are too many refunds, but the address I ordered is a warehouse, and the probability of their error is so high, why not deal with their internals. Let consumers take these risks. Please help me!! I have unboxing video. It's a big loss for me.Business response

I ordered from coachoutlet.com back on 2/20/2024-***** towel, ankle socks and silk skinny scarf. My order was scheduled to arrive on 2/26/2024. However even though the tracking says delivered it was never received. I worked with my bank but coach outlet denied due to the proof of tracking. I chatted with multiple reps and emailed and I was waiting for their response when I went to file a *** claim and it was one day past the 60 days to dispute. On 4/16/2024 I emailed coach requesting assistance to get this matter resolved. They stated on 4/23/2024 as it was marked by the carrier they couldnt process the refund however my dispute was still open and to allow them an additional 45 days for them to be able to assist. I messaged on 5/7/2024 stating that I couldnt do anything with *** as their dispute was still open and they have yet to respond to me. Its been 4 months without a resolution and a response in this matter and Im still without a refund as the items are no longer available since its been over 4 months since ordering.Business response

Dear Sirs,
Coach has received *************************** BBB complaint. As you know,Coach takes extraordinary pride in the excellent craftsmanship of its products and the superior level of customer service. ******************** strives to produce high-quality products and ensure a positive experience for its customers.Therefore, ******************** is terribly sorry to learn of *************************** frustration with the delivery of the order. *** is one of Coachs preferred delivery couriers and we do ship our package(s) via insured and traceable means.
As Coach prides itself on superior customer service, we have offered *********************** a one-time free replacement set of goods worth $111.20,even though it was not Coachs responsibility to replace the package.
When an order is delivered as addressed, a refund is not an option. Coach can confirm that two of the three items orders are available. We invite *********************** to contact our *************************** at ************,for a replacement set of goods and an electronic merchandise card for the Signature **************** that is no longer available. It is against Coach policy to provide a refund for the replacement set of goods because the customer has not paid for those goods.
We look forward to welcoming *********************** into our stores and online again in the future.Initial Complaint

On May 21st, 2024, I ordered the Ergo Bag in Coachtopia Leather: Bows All Over purse from Coach for a total of $315.65. My package was delivered on May 24th, but the bag was very damaged from transit. It had a huge stain on it, and some of the bows were missing. I reached out to customer service via text message (phone number ************) and spoke with an agent named ***************************. She first offered me a replacement, but I informed her that I needed the bag by a specific date, so I opted for a refund instead. She responded that a refund request had been issued and that I would receive the refund within 3-5 business days. That was the last I heard from her.Two weeks went by without receiving my refund, so I contacted customer service again on June 13th. They informed me that I needed to return the item to receive a refund. They had sent an email with return instructions, but it went to my spam folder. Since ************** never mentioned expecting an email, I was unaware of it until June 13th when it was brought up. ************** never mentioned needing to return the item during our conversation. I spoke with supervisor *************************** about this, and he acknowledged that it was a mistake on the part of ************** not to mention the return requirement. However, he stated that "as a consumer, I should automatically know to return the item." I explained to him that companies do not always have this expectation, and if a return was required, it should have been clearly communicated. The previous agent, **************, never mentioned returning the item. If it was important for them to receive the item back, they should have mentioned it in our conversation. I also never received a free return label, so why would I assume the item needed to be returned? They are now denying me a refund, and ****************** is essentially blaming me for the whole incident, instead of acknowledging that the employee, **************, should have informed me about the need to return the item to receive a refund.Business response

Nevertheless, as a gesture of goodwill, Coach has accepted the boots for return and has issued an electronic merchandise credit totaling $91.58,which ****** **** can use to purchase another pair of boots in the required size. This merchandise credit has no expiration date and can be used online, in stores, and by phone.Coach's return policy can be found online at the link below:

I ordered a bag from the website and it told me it would be shipped in 2 days. After 5 days the bag was not sent. I was told it was backordered and I would received it in a few days. Upon checking the website the item was still for sale and said there was 4 left. The next day my order was canceled and the item was again marked as sold out. Terrible business practice to sell items you dont have and lie to your customers and tell them theyre going to get it when theyre not.Business response

I purchased a Coach backpack in July 2023. Item is XGRN LTH ************* IM/B (************). The product is defective, which was confirmed by store associates at Coach Outlet Milpitas, CA (*************************************). I requested a repair or replacement of the same item, but both options were rejected. I was offered a merch card in the amount of my purchase price. However, the item was purchased during a promotion with a large discount. As a result, I am unable to make a new purchase of a similar backpack (Large Court Backpack, Gold / Black, style # ****) without having to pay extra to cover the price difference due to Coach's price increase since last year. I think it is not fair to customers when ******************** sells defective products, refuses to provide repair or replacement, and asks customers to pay extra in order to get a functioning product. I am requesting either a repair of the defective product, or a replacement of Large Court Backpack #**** without extra charge. Thank you.Business response

On 4/25/2024, I was discriminated against, assaulted, and disrespected by an undeserving rude black male employee, who claimed he was the manager at the Coach store, he said his name was ****, and he said he did not have a last name, and he was incapable of making a sale at the Coach store as an employee. I wanted to purchase a bag charm (quoted as being $50, by the sales employee) for a new Coach bag I am getting in the mail shortly, and he was incapable of selling me the charms. When I asked him why I could not purchase the bag charm, he made up a stupid, lame ridiculous excuse that I had to have the bag with me, and they did not put charms on Coach outlet store brands. When I told him the name of the Coach bag I purchased, he was incapable of knowing the difference between a store Coach bag and an outlet bag, however he was claiming to be the store manager. People like this should not be working at a Coach store.Business response
