    VERY DISAPPOINTED. I PURCHASED A BACKPACK/BRIEF****. IT WAS DELIVERED PROMPTLY. I CONTACTED JAMES LEATHER AND TOLD THEM I DID NOT LIKE THE ****** SIZE OR FRANKLY THE QUALITY OF THE **** WITHIN THE 14 DAY PERIOD TO RETURN. THEY TRIED TO TALK ME INTO ANOTHER PRODUCT AND I SAID I WANTED A REFUND WHICH THEY AGREED TO DO. I SHIPPED IT BACK AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIVING IT. THEN THEY SENT ME EMAIL AFTER EMAIL WITH EXCUSES WHY I HADN'T RECEIVED THE REFUND. I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF HEARING EXCUSES AND CONTACTED MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND OPENED A DISPUTE. THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY GOT MY REFUND IN FULL WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS. PITIFUL BUSINESS PRACTICES.

    I ordered online, and paid for a leather briefcase from James Leather on July 2, 2023. The briefcase I received was not the briefcase I ordered. It looked similar but was a different model. I contacted the company to discuss the issue, they would only respond through email and no phone calls. I have been in a back and forth email communication with ***** and there has been no resolution. They make it out to be that it is the correct one when clearly it isnt and argue the point. I sent them pictures to prove my point and yet still say they dont see the differences when it is obvious. I just wanted to exchange it for the correct one. After researching reviews it seems that this is how they do business, prolong the resolution so that you will give up. I still have the incorrect briefcase and scared to send it back because people who have paid to ship back an item end up not getting the correct item they ordered nor a refund. Buyer Beware, do not do business with them, ****** learned never shop from an online store that does not provide a phone number.

    Spent over 200$ on a leather backpack and 2 30 Cent screws came loose and fell out. 2 weeks of back and forth and finally was told they couldn't help me. Find a leather company that cares.

    I ordered one coat and received 2, I sent the other coat back and requested a refund. 3 months later no refund. I emailed and they said they are still processing the return, 6 months later still no return and they will not respond to my emails anymore. Literal theft! I returned the coat, I have proof they received it but they wont return my money!

    STRONGLY advise AGAINST doing business with this company!But 2 items in cart, did not check out, however my info was saved through ****** and the order got proceeded. Within minutes of receiving confirmation of the order I tried calling them to cancel, but I wasnt certain I wanted to purchase them, the ***** Number on file is NON WORKING! So I emailed them immediately!Told them the situation and request the order be canceled since I knew it hadnt shipped!After emailing back and forth for 5 days, still no refund to my card and they have confirmed through email they didnt ship the order! This is definitely not a reputable business you want to do business with.Oh and when asked about the phone number being non working, they said they only communicate through email.James Leather is definitely a BUYER BEWARE!!!

    I ordered a 2XL jacket and when I received it, it was incredibly small and stunk of chemicals. I contacted them and was told to return it and for an additional 10 dollars they would send me a 3XL. When I received that it was also to small and stunk of chemicals. So I returned it and have been getting the run around for my refund. I'm going to be contacted my credit card company for help. I hope something can be done about this company.

    If I was able to give zero stars, I would have. After receiving my leather belt pouch for Christmas, I was mildly impressed with the overall look and feel of the product. However, after about 10 uses, the white stitching running parallel to the zipper began to ravel and become undone. I've tried 3 times to contact the vendor, through email and voice message, to no avail. Their customer support is nonexistent! I wish I had read this forum before I requested this pouch bag! My strong advice is to stay clear of this company!

    Purchased a leather jacket for my man for Christmas. Decided it was too big and too orange so we requested to return for a refund. After several days back and forth with "*****" trying to force us to do an exchange, she finally gave the info on how to do a return. After following all their rules, my tracking info indicated that the jacket had been delivered back to them 4 days after shipping it. 15 days later I emailed the company asking where my refund was. ***** stated that she informed the financial **** to initiate my refund and that the money would be there in 3-4 days. A week went by, still no money. Emailed again and ***** said another week would be needed. Another 9 days and still no money. At this point I've realized that they are thieves and have stolen my money so I emailed ***** letting her know that I would be posting a negative review on their website to warn people not to buy from them. They of course blocked my review on their website. ***** responded saying that my money isn't stolen and they're "facing some issues and that's why you have not been refunded...the problem will be solved int he next few days and you will be refunded." Well guess what? Still no refund. So here's my review. I hope anyone that goes to that site sees this review. Looks like I'm not the only one they've stolen from. $225 ****** learned on my part. You've been warned.

    I received superior service from James Leather. Product quality of my purchase is excellent, and customer service exemplary. The return policy is clearly stated on their website, so please read before making your purchase. True, your item might arrive from overseas, but--if you really want to buy something--James Leather will respond to any issues you have and make things right. I was wary to order from them having read other reviews, but I have had a great experience working with them. Buyer remember--you get what you pay for, and kindness and patience stronger than anger. Thank you, James Leather, for a surprisingly good purchasing experience and a great quality duffel bag.
