      February 18, 2022 In memoriam and honor of my precious and beloved grandmother I purchased a beautiful strand of pearls ($2900) and diamond heart pendant ($3150) from Tiffany & Co. During a recent wedding ceremony the strand of pearls unexpectedly broke free from my neck with loose pearls scattered around. I understand the do & dont and care for my pearls in addition to having had them professionally examined. After being released from the hospital I reached out to Tiffany & Co. to return and restring my pearl ******** along with examining the diamond heart pendant. April 19th, 2024 I spoke to ****** (****) she never called me back. One week later, April 26th, 2024 spoke to **** he reassured me he could handle (I requested senior leadership) to send me a return label and pick up packaged items (Im disabled) and letter stating the label/package would be insured up to $10,000.00. no label, no letter, nothing and yes I checked spam mail. April 30th, 2024 ***** in **********, ************** center I requested to speak with senior leadership I got lip service their all in meetings I will put in a request for a call back - NOTHING! Today, May 3rd I call corporate ironically routes me to *****. This is the same ***** from one week ago whos acting surprised puts me on a long hold then replying leadership must be in a meetings! I told her to stop talking that I want a call back no later than today and Im filing complaints. I am demanding contact by a member of leadership with an apology acknowledging their utter disrespect and disregard of my valuable time while dealing with very serious health issues. communication support and NO response to my issue and repair of my ********! I am outraged and I vow to never purchase another piece of Tiffany & Co. again!

      Dear BBB,

      The company has gone above and beyond its normal practices to accommodate the client. 

      We have sent her a replacement complimentary item and also sent her a label to have the original one returned for a complimentary restringing.

      With this resolution, this case is considered closed on our end.

      Sincerely,

      My husband gifted me a necklace for Valentines Day and it was a bit short. I sent it to have inches added to it and to have it engraved on March 13 2024. More than a month later I hear nothing about them. I have been calling to inquire about it and they keep giving me the run around telling me they are going to send me an email to authorize the changes and I have yet to receive the email. Ultimately I told them to send me the necklace back and they are refusing to do that as well. This is by far the worst customer service I have ever received.

      Business Response

      Date: 04/19/2024

      Dear BBB,

      A repair order was created for the client on 3/19/24. We needed to contact the client to clarify the engraving style and font so we reached out to the client 3/29/24.

      The email with the charges were sent to the client and approved by the client on 4/18/2024.

      The order is expected to be completed and returned to the client on or before 5/13/24.

      An email with the tracking number will be sent to the client when the item ships.

      Sincerely,

      **********************

      I bought a pendant via the web site as a christmas gift for my wife and she did not like it. We spent a lot of time on time on the web site trying to pick a different item, but it came down to needing to go to a brick-and-mortar store to see them/try-them-on in person and we do not live in a city with a Tiffany's store. Still within the 30-day exchange period, my mother for whom I was providing live-in care in home hospice, died and that upended our lives for the next 4-5 weeks, and unfortunately the Tiffany pendant didn't rise above the death of my mother and dealing with the fallout from that. Now 81 days later, we've remembered that we needed to deal with it, and actually weren't even aware of the 30-day policy. I called customer service to ask for an exception because:- it's a current product, it's not out-of-date, etc. it's still currently being sold at the same price.- it's in pristine condition, having gone from the christmas tree to the dresser drawer, never being taken out of the box and tried on.- we want to exchange upward in price, meaning more $$ for Tiffany & Co.but I was told no, and then I said "so you don't care that it's creating bad will and a desire to never shop there again you guys don't care" and the representative said "mmm hmm" which equates to yes.We would like to exchange it, and it would be for a more expensive item, and we'd like to continue to shop there in the future, but without a resolution to this, we certainly will not. We get the reason for the policy, but we don't get that they can't add a human element to it and make exceptions, and at least look at the item and packaging and see that it can go right back on the shelf in perfect condition. Seems like bad business.Order #: ********* SKU : ********

      Hello,On December 3rd 2023, I placed an order for an item with Tiffany & Co. The following order number was processed with this order: *********. However, it appeared the order didn't go through and the money was refunded to my bank. Christmas was coming up, so I went ahead and sent the money to my girlfriend, who was receiving the gift. She placed another order for the item on my behalf. Here is her order number: *********. Shortly after this order was placed, I had the money taken out of my bank account again, without my authorization. So now I had two orders open for the same item, I tried in vain to contact Tiffany and *** but they said they couldn't refund unless I shipped the second cross back to them. However, they never shipped the second cross back to me, this all happened in December, its February still no cross. Still no refund to PayPal. I am reaching out to BBB to get this resolved, as I have not been refunded and still the cross has not been shipped yet. If I could get refunded back to my master card, or the PayPal my girlfriend used to place the second order, that would be great.Thank ********** ******

      Business Response

      Date: 03/26/2024

      Dear BBB,

      After doing some research, order ********* was placed on December 9, 2023 and was only shipped out on February 19, 2024. 

      We did receive a return from the client on February 27, 2024 and the refund was issued on the same day to the clients Paypal account.

      Sincerely,

      *******************************

      I reached out to Tiffany & Co. customer service February 8th to ask questions about a necklace I was interested in for a valentines gift. I ended up placing an order the same day. My order shipped on February 9th, it was supposed to arrive February 13th. The tracking number I was provided through *** says my packaged was delivered. I did not receive any package. I called Tiffany & Co. customer service the same day. I talked to a lady who was genuinely concerned and wanted to help. The reason Im writing this complaint, because I was asked if I waived required signature. I did because a signature would require me to physically sign for the package when Im at work. The customer service agent who helped place the order through message did not tell me, notify me or even mention I would be held reliable for the package. I have all messages and contact saved. I would like a full refund for the item I did not receive. I would like Tiffany & Co. to not fire the employee for a simple mistake. All I want is a refund. Thank you.

      I purchased the silver beaded bracelet with gold heart on Boxing Day of 2023. I wear this bracelet sparingly and when I do, it goes back in the box when I take it off. Safe to say, I take good care of it. I wore it today and when I got home I realized it was no longer on my hand. The clasp was faulty/defective. I messaged Tiffany and was told that they cannot do anything. I explained to the rep that there is no way I could have put it on incorrectly because if i didnt clasp it properly, it would have fallen off right away. She said she cannot comment on that and proceeded to ask if there was anything else she could do to help. This was an expensive purchase for me and something Ive been saving up for and I dont see how a faulty clasp is the customers fault. Truly disappointed to know that 1k is down the drain and Tiffany is not willing to help me with this matter. A faulty item is Tiffanys issue, not the customer.

      I ordered a necklace for my daughters birthday 1/10 and was supposed to receive it by 1/15. Her birthday was 1/16 and by 1/17 the order still had not shipped even though I did get a notification that it shipped but the label was only created and the carrier never received it. I was told I had to wait another 24 hours and by the time before a replacement can be made. I would have to wait another 5 days. This is ridiculous and a 13 year old birthday has now been ruined and now I have to wait even further. I would like my money back.

      Date of Transaction - 1/5/24 Hello, today I received an order that I purchased online at Tiffany & Co. The item i received is the incorrect item i purchased, and of less value then the item that i purchased. I have reach out to customer service multiple times with no resolution from the company regarding a refund or providing me with the correct item that I purchased. They are trying to hold me accountable and inconvenience the consumer for a purchase that was not made on my end.

      I ordered 4 necklaces and 1 bracelet from thus company. Unfortunately I was sent the wrong necklaces that were of less value than what I paid. I want to return them and received a refund but was told I'd have to pay more money to to return the items for shipping. So I requested the items I paid for be sent to me and they refused to send me what I ordered and paid for. I've looked online and this seems to be a pattern with this company and I believe they are using fraudulent business practices.

      I called the client and explained that she made a purchase from a website that was not ours and unfortunately we could not assist further. Advised the client to contact her bank to see if they could assist.
