      On December 30, 2022, I attempted to make a purchase online at the Reeds Jewelers website. I entered my payment information but received an error message, so I tried again a few times with a debit card and a gift card, but the purchase did not go through. Reeds website appeared to be having a glitch. Later, I discovered that my **** card was charged $91.99 and my ********** gift card was charged $91.99 twice for the same order that I never received. I contacted Reeds and after several days of phone calls with customer service, I received a refund back to my **** and 1 refund to my **********. I never received the second refund to my ********** for $91.99. I called Reeds only to be told that the second refund to ********** was processed, however when I contacted **********, I was told that they never received the second refund for $91.99 and there was nothing pending on their end. Reeds refused to help me anymore and I still don't have my refund. ********** advised me to dispute the charge, however it can take up to 90 days for the dispute to be reviewed. This is unacceptable since this happened due to a mistake on Reeds' website. The second refund that was allegedly processed by Reeds obviously did not go through and they need to process it again. I attached a copy of my ********** statement which only shows 1 refund processed.

      Hello, I have confirmed with the bank/gift card company that they have not received a refund from your company and there are no credits pending. I have filed a dispute of charges with the bank however I was told that it may take up to 90 days for the dispute to be resolved. This is clearly unnaceptable. The second refund was not issued to the bank. I want this matter to be resolved as soon as possible. Thank you.

      To expedite this process for Ms. ****** we will be happy to issue a check for the funds that she is requesting from our corporate office. Since all of our records show that the charges were refunded properly, if the credit does appear on your records, we simply ask that you reach out to us so we can correct the funding issues.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:  The merchant stated that they would provide a refund via check but it never happened. The funds were never refunded to my original payment method which was a gift card. 


      Sincerely,

      Please let us know if this second check is not received as well and we hope this will resolve the situation for Ms. ******.

      I purchased a watch at the end of July 2022 as a Christmas gift for my father,It shipped and was recieved in August 2022. As stated this was a christmas gift so there was no chance for my father to truthis on after itwas recieved. So christmas comes and It turns out that the watch band is not long enough to properly fasten. I emailed the customer service email provided asking if there is another watch band that I can buy as the standard one is too small. I get a response back stating that that brand of watch doesn't have a different band that can be purchased but that I can return the watch or exchange it for a different one. So I look and find another watch and reply back to the email stating that this is the one that I want to make the exchange for but there is a cost difference so how would that work. I was told that I would return the current watch and once recieved I would be contacted to make the additional payment needed. I replied back that was okay and I wanted to proceed with the exchange. The rep then emails back that because the purchase was made before November 18th that they can not do the exchange. I no longe need the watch exchanged I just want to return it and get a refund because after this I no longer feel comfortable doing any business with this company since they do not honor the offers given to their customers. And I do still have all of the emails that I exchanged with the representative as proof of the offer that was made and I can forward they if I am provided with an email address.

      I made an order for Christmas with a delivery date of before Christmas. I received order confirmation on Dec 19th at 8:56am, however knowing that the package was supposed to be expedited, next day air shipping they failed to prepare the address label until 12/21 at 8:51pm. The package wasn't picked up until 12/22 at 4:39pm. They obviously understood that customers would likely be ordering for Christmas, as they advertised on their website that delivery orders would made prior to 12/20 would receive Christmas delivery. Because of their failure to process the order in a timely manner the package failed to arrive in time for Christmas. The company didn't reach out to me to apologize or offer any refund. I had to reach out to them and they graciously offered me to drive it back to *** myself to return it. After several attempts of requesting to speak with management to resolve this I was finally and reluctantly offered a refund of the shipping fee. I am writing this as a complaint in service and delivery of goods.

      On December 20, ***************************************************************** the amount of ****** which included two day delivery. Which equates to the item getting delivered on December 22or 23, 2022. However, the order confirmation date stated Dec. 27, 2022. Therefore, via the local Reeds Jewelers through live chat I inquired informing the representative I paid for two day shipping and there was no stipulation stating the jewelry ordered had a 3 day time delay due to its unavailability in the store and shipping was coming from an outside source. The representative offered next day shipping due to the order. However, I did not receive confirmation. Therefore, I requested the supervisor for the local branch via chat as well. Instead of addressing the issue via chat, the supervisor called me to inform me again of the delay and I deemed it unsuitable and unsatisfactory as well as misleading. In turn the supervisor cancelled the order as an act of desperation and extreme prejudice against me. The transaction was approved and verified were it not the original associate via text would not have been able to modify the shipping date of arrival on my behalf prior to that. I simply requested verification and the supervisor denied me and canceled the order for addressing the issue. I contacted Reeds Jewelers in Wilmington, NC via phone (Headquarters) and instead of honoring my request, I was denied again and rerouted to the *********, ** branch as if the supervisor in *********, ** I spoke with (******) was over Corporate Headquarters in Wilmington, NC which is fraud for I checked the entire chain of corporate command for all departments via Reeds Jewelers Headquarters located in Wilmington, NC and her name is not mentioned anywhere.

      ****************,

      I sincerely apologize for the issues you've encountered during your ordering process. I hope to clarify the issues with your order. In regards to the shipping, when you look at this item on our website it will provide an estimated "Shipping Date". It also says, "Add delivery time based on the shipping method you choose". For you order, placed on 12/20/22 at 9:36pm, the estimated shipping date was 12/23/22. Based off the shipping method you selected and due to the Christmas holiday, that provided you with an estimated delivery date of 12/27/22.

      Additionally, the order was cancelled the following day, 12/21/22, following an automated review of security measures. My understanding from our care team is that you may have been using someone else's credit card, therefore the "Bill to" information did not match, thus leading to the cancellation of your order. We take all of our customer's purchases very seriously and we always strive to protect our customers from any potential fraud. I apologize that this occurred, but I assure you it was appropriate based off the information provided to us.

      I am unsure about the ************* branch you mentioned, as we do not operate any locations in ****. I also want to assure you that ****** is not a fraud, she happens to be our Care Team Supervisor and it quite exceptional. As for your order, we welcome you to place it again and will process it appropriately. Please ensure that the billing information is correct and matches the names that the account is associates with. As long as there are no security concerns, I am confident that our ecommerce team will work to fulfill your order.

      Kind Regards,

      The representative lied regardless of their status at the company, the customer is always right. The transaction was verified by the cardholders (my mom) bank as well as the cardholder (my mom). And the address is the same. We both reside at the same place of residence. I am not satisfied about the outcome whatsoever. I was treated with extreme prejudice and discriminated against. Instead of making excuses for your employee she should be disciplined accordingly for ruining my order. There was someone in the background informing her to cancel my order due to my line of questioning about it. Regardless of your excuse for her

      I have recently purchased a diamond tennis bracelet (item # XXXXXXXX) through Reeds and it broke after little use. I have had problems with the quality of their bracelets before as they seem to be very poor quality for the price paid. I sent my bracelet back to be evaluated by a jeweler and the cost of the repair is $55 which is a lot and there is no guarantee on the repair from what customer service has told me when I inquired. Since I did not purchase the care plan there is nothing they can do to rectify this but have me pay $55 for a repair when the bracelet was barely worn to begin with. I am extremely frustrated with the lack of help from customer service and the overall poor quality of their jewelry. After reading another complaint similar to mine I can see that this seems to be typical foe their quality of jewelry which is extremely disappointing.
