Pandora online website is convoluted and does not clearly state only one promotional offer is allowed per purchase. It does not also show you that once you complete your order that it is taken out a promotional offer. Additionally, it does not give you the option to choose which promotional offer you would prefer to give you a choice if only one offer is allowed. Misleading the customer to believe they are getting what they think they are ordering Additionally, I ordered engraved items. They were done correctly, but they were not as advertised as you could not see the inscription well and it was not centered correctly.They will not refund my money, even though it was their error and advertisement Where they are also not willing to swap the offer that chose to give me over the free bracelet promotion so that I could put these charms on. I want a full refund of these items.I have been complaining to them well within 30 days of the order and the complaints started on September 11 was my first inquiry letting them know that it was not home to review the order and then on September 20. I contacted them via telephone and was told a supervisor would call me back Without a response, I followed up with an email on September 22 and another email on October 3 or without a response and I contacted them again today I finally reached a supervisor and was told they could not honor the bracelet even though I was willing to give up the 10% promotion that kicked out the free bracelet offer and they could not offer me a full refund In reviewing their reviews, I am not the only person that has had this issue. Several people have the same complaint that their website is not clear and does not allow you to pick your promotions.But when you do engraving, there are all kinds of boxes that warn you if you make a mistake in the engraving, its not refundableInitial Complaint

Order Date: 4/11/2024 Order number: PND21537756 Item: Band of Asymmetric Stars Ring and gift packaging. Total price for item: $57.73 I purchased this item for my girlfriend on 4/11/2024 and after receiving it, I decided it wasnt worth keeping due to it being so sharp that it cut my girlfriends finger really badly. I initiated a return right away, followed the companys return instructions to the letter, and sent the item back through *** Ground. Its been multiple months so I contacted pandora about my refund and now they are saying that it never arrived. I took the package to *** and they either didnt ship it or they lost it so now Im being held responsible for it not arriving. Ive reached out to customer service multiple timesvia email, phone, and chatand each time, I was either met with unhelpful responses or no response at all. Its now been 6 months and I am still out $57.73, with no sign of a refund.This has been one of the worst online shopping experiences Ive ever had. Its unacceptable that a company would delay or avoid refunding its customers after following all return policies. I feel like Im being given the runaround, and no one at the company is taking ***************** this point, Im considering disputing the charge with my bank or reporting this issue to consumer protection agencies. I will never shop here again, and I very strongly advise others to avoid this company unless they want to risk losing their money.Customer Answer

We apologized to the customer for the delay in their refund and explained that no refund had been processed due to a lack of movement on the tracking number. Additionally, by the time the customer contacted us, the items were outside of the 30-day return window, making them ineligible for a refund. However, as a one-time courtesy, we offered the customer an e-gift card, which can be used either in-store or online. We also clarified that moving forward, returned items must be received by us and within the return window to qualify for a refund.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22358245
I am rejecting this response because:
No where did I get told that due to being out of 30 days I would not be eligible to get a refund. I was going to exchange this for another product so neither of us would be out any money but after how I have been treated, ignored and led on, I do not want a store credit or e gift card as I will not be shopping at this store any time in the future. How they have handled this is extremely unprofessional and I would like the money refunded back to my card that I made the payment with.

I purchased a $3,000 Pandora ring by Ecom on 9/16/24. (Order no.pnd22891737) It was sent to me by over night *** tracking no. 1zr569372995526515. The package arrived with no ring. I immediately called Pandora and was told that they would file a case. (No. ********). After talking with many very rude and not helpful customer service **** I was eventually transferred to ******** ******. She informed me that they would be filing a claim with *** and would not have a resolution until the *** claim was settled. On September 26 ******** informed me that *** had accepted the claim. She also told me that I didnt get a ring in my package because the ring was sold out. She was to call me back on 9/27/24 with a resolution. At this time shes not called me back, will not respond to my emails and will not accept my calls. Credit card charge has been disputed but I was informed that Pandora has not responded to their request for a response to my dispute. I feel like I am being lied to and feel that Pandora Jewelry is lying tome. I dont know where to turn.Initial Complaint

Hello,
We have spoke with the customer several times. Our first conversation, customer claimed her order was "lost", and we advised for her to make a claim with the carrier due to on our end the order has been delivered. Once we mentioned to customer she had to make a claim, she proceeded with a new call later that day. She spoke with a new agent, and claimed she now just "missing an item". We proceeded with a reshipment, and reshipped her a new item. 2 weeks later, customer reach back out because she returns the item asking for a refund. We advise her that because she did not return her promotional item, the value of the promotional item will be deducted from the refund. Customer tells agent she will be keeping the promotional item.
We are more than glad to assist with honoring a refund for customer, customer will have to ship back the promo bracelet. If customer decides to move foward, we will have to issue a return label.

I ordered some items from Pandora during a promotion where you spend a certain dollar amount, and you get to pick a free bracelet. When I received my order the free bracelet was not included, even though I chose one prior to finalizing my order., When I reached out to customer service, they said they they gave me a 10% discount on my order instead (without my approval), and removed my free bracelet from the order. The customer service person stated that I was given the option to remove the discount and still receive my free bracelet. I do not recall ever seeing an option to remove any credit, nor do I remember being provided one, even though it is on the final receipt emailed to me. The promo was for a free bracelet and I would not have spent as much money as I did because the free bracelet is worth more than the 10%. I was told that they could not fix the issue because the promo was over. This was false advertising and the terms of the promo I agreed to should have been honored and not switched without my permission or knowledge.Customer Answer

I had a terrible experience in at a particular location in *******. I attempted to exchange a bracelet that I received as a gift as it was too small. The young lady called her boss and spoke to her in another language for me not to understand. She then handed the bracelet back to me and told me that it could not be exchanged to a bigger size because it was given to me as a gift. I mean to be so rude and contact your superior and speak a different language?I then called customer service to explain my situation. I was told that I would receive an email to explain my experience and a 15% coupon for my poor experience. It had been 2 weeks, and I reached out to customer service and was told again to wait for an email. I am not sure what the problem is, but I am just trying to exchange a bracelet that I received for my 50th birthday, however it was too small. I would not expect Pandora to treat their customers a bit better as the product is expensive. This is my first Pandora bracelet, and it will most like be my last. What a terrible, unexpected experience.Business Response

Pandora makes too much money to get over on their customers. My husband purchased $500 worth of jewelry for me. During that time, Pandora was offering a free bracelet with a purchase of $125. During the online checkout process, you were offered multiple free bracelets to choose from. I chose the bracelet that I liked and proceeded to checkout.The next day, I received an email stating that an item in my order had been canceled. The item that was canceled was the free bracelet. My husband and I called customer service to see why the bracelet was canceled. The representative stated that she didn't see an order for the bracelet. I said that's because it was canceled. I had to send proof of the email stating that my order was canceled. Sending an email was crazy to me, as if I had to lie about anything. I sent the email to the representative to "prove" that I actually received the email regarding the canceled bracelet.Their resolution to this problem was giving me 15% off my next "online" order. 15% doesn't compare to a free bracelet. I decided to contact customer service again to see if I could get a better resolution. The representative stated that it was only while supplies last and they didn't have another bracelet. If that's the case, why did I receive two different bracelets earlier that week when I made separate purchases? There were several options to choose from. I received multiple emails after the cancelation of the bracelet I selected reminding me that the free bracelet promotion would be ending in a couple of days. Don't continue to push the promotion if all bracelets are sold out. My bracelet was canceled on 9/7/2024. I received and email promoting the free bracelet on 9/8/2024. I've attached documentation supporting both. This experience has left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a customer. ********************'s handling of the situation seems inconsistent and unfair, especially considering the significant amount we spent on jewelry.Business Response

We apologized to the customer, explaining that our promotions are typically while supplies last, and while some items may sell out online, they may still be available in-store, or vice versa. As a one-time courtesy, we offered to send a gift card for the value of the bracelet the customer had selected.Customer Answer

I placed on order today for the purpose of using the free bracelet promotion. My shopping bag included the free item. The screen where I verified the shipping address and entered my gift card confirmed that I had 3 items. When I submitted the order the final confirmation screen did not have the free bracelet included. I called customer service where they refused to cancel my order that was just placed within the last 5 minutes OR to send me the free bracelet that was missing. They representative did confirm on the recorded line that the purchase qualified for the free bracelet, but that they would "look into it." I am out of a $70 bracelet that was the whole basis for my purchase. These are unfair and deceptive business practices.Customer Answer
