      On 8/19/2022 I ordered 10 items from Sephora online coming to a total of $392. Yesterday, 8/23/2022 I received my order but only received 2 products in the mail. I assumed that maybe my order will come in different shipments, so I contacted customer service however they told me my order was coming in one shipment. I advised them that I only received 2 products, which were around $20 each and am missing 8 products. Sephora denied me a refund or reshipment. The box did not look like it was opened or anything, seems to have been an issue with Sephora warehouse. I am very upset because I have been a customer with ********************** for years!

      Dear *******,


      We are sorry to learn that you did not receive each item in order # ***********.


      As the tracking information shows a confirmed delivery,including a weight consistent with the size of your order, we are unable to offer a replacement or refund.


      We appreciate having had the opportunity to clarify apologize for any disappointment this causes.

      Complaint: 17762043

      I am rejecting this response because: I only received 2 of 10 products from my order. I did not pay $400 to only receive 2 products. I see that on the shipping info it said it weighed 2 pounds. I dont remember and did not weigh the box when I received it (because who does that) but it felt consistent with only having 2 products inside. 

      If Sephora did ship out correct items, they could have been taken from someone at the post office or something. This can be true since the box has a big SEPHORA logo on it which implies expensive products 

      this is not my fault  I would not be going to the BBB if I received my products  I just want my moneys worth  and 400$ is a lot of money to spend when I only received 2 things!! I am just a college student I cant afford to be spending this much money on $40 worth of merchandise. 

      please reconsider your decision

      On May 8, 2022 I purchased the Sephora Favorites Luxe Vibes Mini Luxury Beauty Sampler Set. The set included 6 items total (5 of which were actual products expected, with the 6th being a redeemable certificate instead of the product). I received my order in the mail on May 12, 2022. When I went to redeem the certificate which was for a travel size bottle of ***************************** Beaute Libre ************** the product was out of stock (both online and unavailable in stores for pick up). About a month later, I contacted Sephora to request an update. I was advised they could not confirm the date the product would be back in stock, but that I could use my certificate when it was and that there is nothing else that they could do. Now, over three months after my purchase, the product is still not available in any form (online or in-store pick up). Sephora will not refund my purchase or offer me an alternative similar certificate to redeem. I feel it is a scam selling a product that includes a component which is out of stock (especially for such a significant length of time). Further, the product description did not state redemption of the certificate was subject to availability (Sephora should have had a separate stock to account for the certificates sold in these boxes). I am requesting either a refund of that portion of my purchase or an alternative similar-like certificate which is redeemable to make me whole.

      I made a purchase online that I returned in store. I received store credit. I am now trying to use the store credit to make another online purchase, but am unable to do so. I do not live near a Sephora and the items that I am trying to purchase are only available online. I tried calling Sephora several times to place an online order using my store credit without success. I was told that if I had made the return online instead of in store, then I would be able to use the credit online. However, I was not made aware of these terms at the time of the return. I try to avoid mailing items back whenever again to reduce my carbon footprint on the environment. I am very frustrated at the lack of transparency and poor customer service.

      I purchased an item online and returned it within the return window. The store credit I was given cannot be used on the sephora website and I am unable to go into the store to make purchases. I feel that this is an irresponsible practice and there is a lack of transparency about this tactic. I am very disappointed and will no longer be shopping with sephora

      We again confirm that returns made in store between 31 and 60 days from the date of purchase are only eligible for in-store merchandise credit.

      I placed an online order on 7/26. Order number ***********. The order was defective and a credit was issued. I have the email confirmation for a credit however as of today the credit of $26.50 has not been returned. When I contacted the business they are giving me a run around. They said I need to create a profile and add a credit card to receive a refund. The transaction was done via Apple Pay and should be returned to the original source of payment. I do not need to have an account or a credit card stored to receive my money back to the original source. This is a sketchy business practice to hold the personal information of current and former customers. Attached is the email confirmation for return of payment. However, payment not received.

      I returned an item in perfect condition. It was too light for me so I just wanted a refund. I sent it back in the mail. They received the item but they are now claiming my item is a different batch code. I 100% sent back the correct item. No one is listening to me. They wont refund me and they also wont send back the item. I would like to talk to the warehouse but they dont let me. They claim once its in the warehouse I cant even get it back. So I sent back an item for a refund. They wont refund me. They claim its the wrong item. They also wont send me back the item or provide any pictures of what they think is wrong with it. I am actually getting stolen from.

      Hello, I placed an order of Lancome lip glaze 274 in Sephora, 14 pieces in total, all in the same package with the tracking number 1ZX46A620338154516. The package showed that it had been signed for, but I did not receive the goods. After verification, I found that it had been signed for by a private residential address, and then I contacted Sephora. Sephora replied to me that my address is the forwarding address, and they are not responsible for any after-sales service of the forwarding address. My order numbers in sephora are 47868235504,47868233280,47868235895,47868236242,47868236095,47868235751, respectively. My request is that Sephora can reship my lost goods. Thank you!

      On May 9th i ordered some cologne and some gifts. I ended up returning them. I sent it back with Canada post as i was directed to do. On may 17th i shipped it out, and on may 20th, i got an email from Sephora stating they received it. Then I'm told it can take 30 days to process it. Super annoying but whatever. 6 weeks go by and i notice i didn't see a refund on my credit card statement from Sephora. So i contacted them about it, and they said they'd look into it. After reaching out a couple times, I'm told my refund was denied. I ask why and I'm told it's up to the warehouse team. Didn't say why, apparently they're unable to tell me why. They said they can't send me back the stuff i returned, and can't refund my money either. So basically they took back their stuff, and just kept my money, and keep saying that they can't do anything about it as it's this is a matter related to the warehouse team, but i can't contact them either. "I do apologize for the inconvenience surrounding this return. However, until the ******************* has processed the return and therefore confirming the products were returned, we are unable to refund you. The refund for your return is up to the discretion of our *******************, since they are the team that would receive and verify that the returned products are gently used, and correct.I hope you can understand, as this is a company policy." "After further reviewing your return details, the package was delivered, however the decision to issue a refund is up to our distribution center. All decisions made by our distribution team are final and cannot be overturned. If the return is processed and you refunded, you will receive an email notification."These are their replies to my emails. Essentially they're just saying we're not going to do anything to help you, too bad, nothing we can do. They already confirmed they received my items on may 20th - "We've received your return. Your refund will occur within 10 business days"

      Dear *****,


      After review of your return tracking details for order # *********** ************ tracking # ****************), we can confirm that the package was never delivered to our distribution center. The tracking reflects it was delivered to ********, **, where we do not have a facility. We can also clarify that the destination postal code does not correspond with our distribution centers location.


      As the order was never received for return, we are unable offer a refund. Please note this is Sephoras final business decision.


      We hope this information clarifies.

       


      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because:if the package was misdelivered by Canada post, you can file a claim with them. They won't let me file a claim as i didn't purchase the shipping label. I did my job and sent back my return, this is why shipping insurance exists.

      Sincerely,

      Dear *****,


      Thank you for an additional opportunity to clarify.


      We are unable to offer a refund for order #***********, as the order was never received by our fulfillment center. The tracking information reflects it was delivered to an alternate city and postal code than where we have a facility.


      As the contents of the order are not in our possession, no accommodation will be made. Please note again this is Sephoras final business decision.

       


      Sincerely,

      I was given a $50 gift card to Sephora for my birthday in January of 2022. I attempted to use it last week and was told my gc balance was 0 and it was wiped out. I did not make any purchases . I have my purchase history to prove it. When I asked if they could give me info on what was purchased with my gift card and the date of this purchase, sephora refused. They said I was a victim of fraud and have to file a complaint with ftc. They did not offer to provide any resolution to my problem and seems like they are part of the scam if thats whats going on. I dont think its right of them to hold this info hostage from me. Why is that something to hide? I would like for them to offer a solution to this instead of sending me links to file complaints.
