On December 24th, 2021 I purchased a bangle bracelet from Pandora Jewelry Co. I paid $598.00 (with my bank card) for a bangle with 6 charms. I also purchased 3 additional charms for my bangle 4/27/22 for $169.60 ( I have a receipt) The bangle has a defect and the wire slipped out of the ball clasp that keeps the charms secure on the bangle causing me to lose all 9 charms. Also included in the 6 charms in my initial purchase was two clips upsold to me by the sales woman to keep my charms secure on the bangle. The clips couldn't prevent the loss due to the defect in the bangle and I have photos and provided them to Pandora via an email. I loss 9 charms in total Pandora acknowledges the defect but will only give me the bangle and 3 charms a value of only $450 (only by gift card) leaving me with the loss of $317.00Business Response

I sent my assistant to the store to get me a bracelet same size and model as my bracelet, so I gave her my bracelet she went in and the lady took it from her to get the same size. Apparently, they didn't have the same size so the lady forgot to give her the bracelet so I sent her back and the manager said let me look at the camera and I'll call u guys back and they did call me (I have my phone records) she stated yes sorry we never gave ur assistant the bracelet and we will leave $150 credit on ur account just when u come in use ur phone number. I was like fine. Then few months later I sent my assistant to use the credit they told her there is no credit, so I spoke to the manager Jennifer she said ok let me go back to camera I need exact date and time which I gave her caz I had texts and my phone log from att application. She said fine she called me back said oh regional managers are on vacation till first week of Oct I said fine. I left a review so cs said call us at 800 number I did they kept on telling me Friday I'll get the email with the credit bla bla bla... already two months passed by I keep on calling them they all give me the run around. I have over 15 confirmation numbers and spoke to over 25 employees and they all give fake promises. At this point it's not about the money it's just the fact that they're providing horrible customer service instead of someone actually going back to the camera and looking for the incidentBusiness Response

the store had called me exactly at 4:17pm on 02/09/2022 I have a screen shot attached from AT&T
to tell me that they will leave credit on my account and that they checked the cameras and the bracelet was never given back to my assistant. All you guys have to do go back on the camera and you will see same day FEB 9 2022 around 3 pm, I would check from 3 to 340pm see if I am lying or not
I have a text from my assistant at 3:57pm saying they will credit you $115 and the store called me at 4:17pm so its all within an hour or so.
All I am looking for a replacement bracelet or credit for the value of the bracelet

My husband got me the Signature I-D Pave Bangle for our anniversary and not even a week later the bracelet had fallen off my wrist and is lost. I've tried every avenue at finding it as well as chatting with Pandora, but they refused to help or replace under their policy even though the bracelet would not stay latched! Considering the bracelet fell off my wrist daily several times within the week that I had it, I'd consider it broke!Business Response

I have not yet received order PNDXXXXXXXX, placed on October 17. My Pandora account order history stated yesterday "awaiting carrier pickup." Today, the "delivery status is temporarily unavailable." I've emailed
<*********@ccc.*******.***> twice to alert Pandora of the non-receipt. I received no response. I was also assigned two ticket numbers via the "Contact Us" chat on Pandora website. No response or resolution through either.
These charms were supposed to be my mother in law's birthday present, November 15. Now, the present is late and I am disappointed in Pandora customer service.Business Response

On 9/13/22 I purchased a ring from Pandora. It was not what I ordered and complete junk so I sent it back. Days later I didn't see a refund to my account so I filed a dispute with Pay Pal. On October 5th Pandora claimed they issued me a refund for everything but the shipping. Okay no problem. They said it may take up to 20 days for me to receive the refund. So they closed the dispute with Pal. Here it is 28 days later and no refund to my account. I called them to inquire about my refund and they said it was already processed and that I need to call Pay Pal. Pay Pal has no record of the refund.Business Response

On September 28, 2022, the store manager at Pandora in Chicago Ridge Mall Illinois had 2 security guards come to the store to escort me out, if I had not handed over my jewelry, they fixed for me free of charge because it was under warranty. The manager refused to give me the jewelry I also had cleaned here unless I had given them my bracelet/paid $35. I was on the phone with corporate (Angel) when this happened. Angel asked me to hand over my bracelet, go home and provide my receipt and email her with that information so they could try resolving this issue. As I was pulling out the mall parking lot another store manager (Jenn) called me to come in to pick up my jewelry. She apologized and stated their store receipt showed my bracelet was still under warranty and I did not owe $35. Not only have I sent several emails to Pandora Regarding this incident, but I have also spoken to Angel multiple times in which she stated someone from consumer affairs will be contacting me. I have yet to receive any type of resolution/phone for the embarrassment, miss treatment and disrespect that took place back on September 28, 2022.Business Response

Thank you for contacting Pandora Jewelry. We have received your BBB Inquiry and would like to personally apologize for the service you have received from our store associates as well as our team regarding a response. We have reached out to the DM over this location and they seem to have been in contact with you regarding this and have also refunded the charge.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
April, I'm not sure where you are getting your information. Nothing has happened other than what I emailed you regarding this whole incident. The simple fact that this happened way back on Sept 28 and no one from corporate office/DM contacted me like you stated they would the multiple times we spoke on the phone, shows that this company doesn't value its customers. A refund was issued for what? Maybe you have my case confused with someone else's. I had security called on me because the manager didn't believe me when I told her I didn't owe any money for them fixing my bracelet. Not only was this embarrassing to say the least, but if she had thoroughly looked at the store receipt she had, she would have seen that my bracelet was still under warranty, instead of calling police. Honestly I'm appalled at the lack of respect this company has shown. This whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth and I seriously doubt if I'll ever
Patronize your company ever again.

Hi Toni,
Thank you for your response. The refund i was referring as stated was for the charge they were charging you for repairing your item. We have reached out to the Customer manager over this location and they are telling us that the store is reaching out to you directly regarding your experience in store. If this has not happened please let me know and we will happily follow back up with them on this matter.

April, Chicago Ridge Mall has not contacted me other than Jennifer whom I mentioned in the original email text I sent way back in Sept! The manager who called police on me has NOT reached out at all or even apologized for her error, and for calling security as if I was a threat. At this point I give up! This company has proven they could care less about paying consumers and at this point, I have decided not to spend another dime in a company who doesn't value, respect or care for its consumers. You have apologized multiple times now YET the person who was in the wrong has not contacted me nor has corporate management called to offer any type of resolution. I give up! This all has fell in death ears! Very unfortunate because not only did I like Pandora line but I've spent thousands with this company only to be treated less than valuable.

Purchased a ring for my wife, saw that it was the wrong size, tried to cancel or change order right away, wouldn't let me. Tried to contact customer service, automated chat said to just return it when I Received it. Ordered the correct size, waited. Both came in a week or two later, tried to email asking how to return the one wrong size, because was always busy during the limited phone hours. Finally called a day I had off, they said sorry its ONE DAY out of the 30 days of return. Said they could offer a gift card. Asked to speak to a manager, got disconnected. Calles back, asked if I could get it escalated, asked for a name and case number. (Victoria, case number XXXXXXX) They said they would look into it, worst case could always take the gift card. and call back or email back. Couple weeks went by. Called AGAIN. Was told sorry I was informed wrong, there are no gift cards or refunds available at all, after 30 days. I said again had I known that from the first call or before trying to return it from email I'd have been fine but now I've been strung along two months... and LIED to from two people, and NOT ONE call or email back. Nearly completely denied me a supervisor, said I'd have to wait to the next day to get a call back. New case number XXXXXXXX. This was weeks ago again now. I'm so done with being lied to and no one calling back. I have order numbers too. It's a bad refund policy but even WORSE attempt to ignore EVERYONE with a problem and just wait them out.Business Response

***Document Attached***
BBB CASE#: XXXXXXXX
The previous complaint, case # noted above still is outstanding. I was informed that I could pick 2 other items because the items that I needed replaced were no longer in stock. I picked these items and then received another email stating the replacement items are not the items that I wanted to replace. They informed me to pick any other two items. I need to get this resolved. This has taken up so much of my time. Pandora does not stand by their products. I've noted this in my previous complaint that so many of our pieces of jewelry from Pandora have broken and I have had return issues. I will no longer buy from them, and it is a disappointment for me to say this. Thank you.

Hi Diane,
We would need to know which of the 2 items that are damaged that you would like to have replaced. I understand that you are supplying replacement items however that is not how our process works. Please supply which 2 items that are damaged you would like to have to have replaced and we can either exchange for the same item if it is available or we will issue you a e-gift card for the value of the items in which you can use in tore or online to make a new purchase.

I sent another email to Pandora. I have attached it. They keep asking me the same questions over and over. This has taken up so much of my time. I just don't understand why they do not either replace my items with the items that I selected or send me a gift card. I really should be arguing for them to replace all 4 of my broken items.

We have chosen 2 of your damaged items to replace. I have sent you an email directly from Pandora. Please print out the shipping label and only return the 2 items approved to be sent back and once we receive them we will issue you a e-gift card for the value of the 2 items which is 165.00.

On November 22, 2021, I purchased approximately $4000 in pandora jewelry. The purchase was for an insurance claim and I ended up having to return the entire order. I have only received partial refund. I would like to receive the remainder of my refund as well as the interest rate for the credit card I used and a credit for the inconvenience this has caused. I have tried calling several times and filed a case with pandora and still have yet to hear from anyome. As a loyal customer, this is completely unacceptable.Business Response

I placed an online order at Pandora.com When I received my order, I realized I got ALL the incorrect items shipped to me. I ordered a pandora moments heart clasp snake chain bracelet & instead received a bangle, also ordered a Lilo & stitch charm & instead got an infinity heart dangle charm with the purchase of my order I got a free clip charm which I DID NOT receive. When I contacted customer service, they informed me I had to ship the items back in order to get a full refund. I asked if they could reship the correct items and they told me I would not be receiving my free item that I had on my original order. This is so frustrating because they got my entire order wrong, and it was a huge inconvenience for me!Business Response
