      I have attached a letter sent to Fendi with more details. I purchased a purse that after 1 one use started to pill excessively and absorbed the color of clothing which was not an issue with any other fabrics rubbing against my clothing. Fendi did offer to replace it in the beginning and then offered to clean it at my cost. This has been an on going issue and don't want to keep a purse that I will not be able to use if it will pill and get stained so easily. If these were concerns and normal happenings with this fabric/purse they should have provided some wear and care instructions.

      The team informed the client that the purse is not eligible for a refund because the damage happened due to wear and tear. we offered to clean the handbag at no cost.

      On June 20, 2023 I ordered a bag. This bag was returned on July 12, 2023. I have tracking that shows that it was received on July 14, 2023 to the warehouse address- FNA Ecommerce Door #2 (Fendi) *****************************************************************. I called and spoke with ****** on July 24, 2023 who contacted the warehouse and they confirmed they received the bag. She said she would process the refund. The refund was never processed. I called again and spoke with ****** on August 14, 2023 and she transferred me to a manager, ******. ****** was very rude, speaking to me like a child. At this point, no refund has been processed and the refund needs to be processed immediately. It has been over a month and I have yet to get a refund. This is unacceptable.

      To whom it may concern,

      "I called and spoke with Geneva on July 24, 2023 who contacted the warehouse and they confirmed they received the bag. She said she would process the refund". - This statement is not true as this CA was out sick on July 24th. 

      " I called again and spoke with ****** on August 14, 2023 and she transferred me to a manager, ******. ****** was very rude, speaking to me like a child".- August 14th was the first time my team had spoken to this client and we have no previous records showing she called prior. The manager spoke to the client as she was highly escalated and told the client that she would reach out to the ** to see if they can provide any information. i also have to note that the client utilized her own **** label to ship the item back, and our company only deals with **** Fendi is not responsible for any packages that are shipped without the return label provided by Fendi. Return labels are always included into the shipments for customers convenience. Therefore, the client needs to file a claim and an investigation with **** on their own. Lastly, the client was disrespectful and utilized foul language. The manager asked the client to not use that language or they would have to disconnect. All calls are recorded for training purposes. The client also didn't want to provide any information that was asked of them. 

       

      Please let us know if you need any additional information.

      Nothing that fendi stated is true. In fact, it states that we can return using a traceable service on their website. We did exactly that. At this point a lawyer has been involved.

      Return labels are always provided by Fendi.com. Shipping costs will only be at your expense if you decide to ship the return with a different shipping company and Fendi will not be able to accept liability for lost or damaged returns. You can find Fendi.com policy on Fendi.com under returns&refunds under online returns tab. This was explained to the client on several occasions however it resulted in foul language from the client.

      I sent in my bag to be repaired and for the black trimmings to be replaced. Instead the bag was painted that is specifically what I requested not to be done. So now my bag has been altered and mispainted and damaged. I am requesting for the $100 fee to be refunded as well as Fendi credit for damaging my bag.

      I purchased a pair of boots (online order), which arrived in less than perfect condition. The item was scratched, and not to my standard of quality for the +$1,500 price. I ordered another pair, which arrived in perfect condition, and I then sent the defective item back within the required timeframe, utilizing the shipping label provided by FENDI. It has been over 30 days since I returned these boots, and I have not received my refund. I called to look into the matter. I was told that the concern would be forwarded to the warehouse. After a few days with no response, nor any refund to my credit card, I again contacted FENDI, this time via chat. I was told the item had not been received by them. I then provided them with a picture of my *** tracking slip, which contained tracking information for the return. I returned two items to FENDI during that transaction, using separate shipping labels, both of which were provided by FENDI. I received a refund for the item that I did not note as being defective. I am still awaiting a refund on the item that they sent to me damaged. They are claiming that they are not in receipt of this return. It has been over 30 days since this return was initiated. I have contacted FENDI twice. I would like my money back. I will soon be disputing this charge with my credit card company.

      I purchased tights & received the tights on Friday March 5th. I opened the box and put them on March 6th only to find there is a rip/hole in them. The item is clearly damaged. I immediately log on to the chat website report this to a customer service rep who told me they could not help and accused me of wearing too much jewelry and damaging the tights. I explained I dont wear jewelry. The rep then told me to call the toll free number. I did.. calling that number only made the situation worse. The customer service rep was rude, talked over me, appeared to be reading a script and hung up on me. I called back - I got a different representative who did have a pleasant tone - at the time I felt like she was helpful. She told me that on Monday (the next day) she would send a replacement of the item and would express it as I needed the item by 3/10. She promised me she would resolve on monday morning and sent a text message confirming this info. Well Monday came and she told me nope. No replacement ************** would call me- a manager. ***** the manager did call - only to advise no way they could send replacement and that she would have someone- who was at lunch at the time of the call- reach out to me via telephone to set up an rma to return item for a refund as they cannot do an exchange. Needless to say no one has called to set up the **** This has been the worst experience ever. Sent damaged merchandise, accused of damaging the merchandise, treated rudely and talked down to, lied to and lied to again. Now Im stuck with damaged tights ( which cannot be repaired).

      I bought a coat from fendi on ***** on Jan 2nd I got out the coat from the store as I was packing for a ski trip. I tried on the coat and when I went to tighten the sides it was broke. I immediately took a pic and emailed fendi. I couldnt get them to respond or do what they said I finally got them to send a call tag to ship it back. I asked for a credit or refund but I no longer needed the coat as I was leaving for my trip and couldnt take the coat. I live in ******* and dont need a coat and missed taking it on my ski trip as planned and bought another coat. Fendi said they would take care of it to them tell me weeks later they would repair and send to me. They said I broke the coat. I never wore the coat. I asked them to send me proof of how I could have broken the coat and they refused. I am disappointed and sad to be arguing with a company or a +3k coat that was given to me broken. Please help me get a credit or refund as they gave me a faulty coat and I had to buy another coat. I did everything right and quickly from 12/12 to Jan 2nd. Its 20 days. Where is the customer service?

      On 10/13/2022 I placed an order for a pair of sneakers and belt. There was an issue with the delivery of my items. After confronting *** about my issue, they filed a claim on my behalf. *** completed their investigation on 10/26/2022. I spoke with a Fendi representative to confirm what *** told me. On 11/04/2022 Fendi emailed *** paperwork for my order(as I was told) *** has **** business days to process this paperwork. As of today November 27, 2022 I am still getting the same response from Fendi, that no one knows when the paperwork will be processed. Its been almost two months since I placed this order and nothing is being done. I was promised a call back from a supervisor twice. Once on 11/23/2022 and once on 11/27/2022. No one has contacted me. At first I wanted to re-purchase my items in store, but now I will never purchase another Fendi product in my lifetime. Ive been getting the run around since October, its almost December. If nothing is done by December 3rd I will be disputing this charge with my bank and even escalating this issue further if needed.

      My wife purchased me a gift and a few days after purchase I tried to return it since the slides simply don't fit my feet. The only thing I did like was sold out and would not be in production again. So, as any normal customer would do, I requested a refund since a store credit is useless to me at this time. They proceeded to tell me that I could NOT get a refund and ONLY a store credit. However this is in DIRECT contrast to what's displayed on the website (see here: ***************************************************************). They never alerted my wife at the time of purchase that this was a FINAL purchase and that NO refunds could be issued. Not to mention, everything I wanted to purchase was SOLD OUT. I now am sitting on a useless piece of paper and no gift to show for it. Utterly disgusted at a corporation like FENDI engaging in fraudulent and deceptive business practices. They lost a customer and his family for life. I am demanding a full refund before resorting to litigation.

      I went to the website to look into a bag I was interested in. I opened the chat box on the website to ask a few questions. The person helping me said they would text me additional photos and videos of the item. They then urged me to purchase as the item was limited and that they could send me a direct link to purchase. I proceeded to use the link thinking that it was no different than purchasing through the website (which offers free returns/full refunds within 14 days). I do not have a store near me and wanted to see the item in real life to make my decision. I decided the cost of the item exceeded what I was willing to pay for the bag, and I would like to return. I even honestly shared I had a contact who I could purchase the item through overseas, at a european Fendi, for much much less money, so I would still be purchasing from the company. They then informed me that my purchase was through a boutique and in fact NOT through the website, so I would not be issued a refund. They told me these policies are listed on the purchase link (in the fine print below) but it feels wrong and like i was deceived that the associate who helped me purchase originally connected with me on the website and did not directly inform me that policies would be different and this was in fact coming from a store and not via the website. I have tried to reason with the store to ask for an exception to the rule considering the lack of transparency and information from the associate. The manager, ******, at the ******** ****** Yards location (apparently where the bag came from) was very condescending and failed to acknowledge my concerns. Basically gave me the runaround. The fendi customer service line told me store managers have discretion on whether to make these exceptions, and she told me she had to contact a higher department to request, which also felt deceitful. Id even be happy without a full refund if they would credit me what I would get by buying it overseas (22% off).
