THIEVES!!! SWAROVSKI won’t return my money!!
Reviewed on 2021-05-17T23:17:07
Online store customer service does NOT even deserve a 1 star, more of a 0.5 star.
I placed an order on Friday 14th May around 2130 New Zealand time,my partner did not like the items so I decided to get a refund ($278 NZD). Swarovski’s call center is closed on the weekends, so I called first thing on Monday morning at sharp 10am which is 8am Australian time. I was their first caller as I started calling at 0958 but they answer my call at 10am.
The lady on the phone told me that she couldn’t cancel the items as they on her system were under “processing status”, I then confirmed where the items were, she said the items were at their warehouse in Singapore, so what I don’t understand is that if a customer wants to cancel their items, which is STILL inside your warehouse and hasn’t left for transit, why can’t it be cancelled?
The lady on the phone asked me to wait for the delivery then refuse the delivery which then will be sent to their Auckland City Store and once there, Swarovski will refund my money. Why does a customer have to go through all these steps when there is obviously another way? To cancel the item, company saves money on delivery charges too. The item was still processing on Monday the 17th of May, and it’s in transit today Tuesday the 18th of May BUT it hasn’t left Singapore yet, so they had enough time to cancel, I then received an email saying “order is on its way” and underneath that it said “Orders can not be cancelled now”, and I have the email with me, so that basically means that before that time, before that email was sent the order could’ve been cancelled, but customer service agent failed to do so.
When I called Swarovski’s customer service team to lay a complaint, no one wanted to hear my complaint and kept on transferring me and I ended up talking to the same lady that I wanted to file a complaint against, she explained to me that she would ask their “escalation team” if they could cancel my items and they started work at 1130am (it’s approx 1040am by now NZDT) that being embarrassing enough, I still thanked her and hung up.
I then called again around 1423 on 17th of May, someone answered by only saying “hello how may I help you”, I said “Hi I called earlier about an order that couldn’t be cancelled…” and I got hung up on, AS SOON AS I said that, I got hung up on, how is that customer service Swarovski? I got all the time stamps and calls on my phone, I’ve given you the exact time stamp so please go and listen to your recorded calls which are for “training purposes”, what training? When a customer gets treated this way, all I wanted was my item to be refunded and your team took it this far, now I have to wait until the package arrives in Auckland, is scheduled for delivery to my address and THEN tell the driver that I refuse to take the item, he then takes it back to the depot, they will then contact Swarovski asking where to re-deliver the items to, and then HOPEFULLY I get my money back after a month or so, JUST like all these other poor people who have been waiting for their money, SWAROVSKI, YOU ARE THIEVES, stealing your customers money, JUST RETURN WHAT IS OURS!!! Your have your items, we DON’T.
Also SWAROVSKI please don’t send me your copy pasted automated email that says “we have asked Trust Pilot for your information, so please send as many detailed information as possible to us”
I’ve told you everything above so read it and do something about it, because word of mouth and social media is the best way to damage a company’s reputation, and trust me, no matter what happens, I will never shop from Swarovski EVER again, this was my first time shopping from Swarovski and this experience has impacted so much on me that I will never shop from Swarovski again and I will post this review on all social media platform that I can.
People need to know of how Swarovski steals their customers money and doesn’t want to refund them.
Seems like your policy is written by a little kid, CHANGE your policy get with the new age, if the order/item is still at YOUR OWN warehouse, and a customer wants to cancel it, GO AHEAD AND CANCEL THE ITEM!!! How Swarovski became a company with this attitude towards their customer doesn’t raise my eyebrows because it’s clearly CORRUPT!!!read more
Wouldn't buy from this company again

Wouldn't buy from this company again. My partner placed an order, when he wanted to cancel it he rang their call centre who were completely unhelpful.Not only did staff hang up on him they also made excuses. For example they told him sorry your order is with DHL on the plane when he asked for a tracking number she didn't have one which means she's lying it hasn't been packaged. They would rather post an item from their warehouse in Singapore and wait for it to get redelivered to a store all the way in Auckland NZ to process a refund rather than cancelling the order which hadn't even been processed. No one was helpful and couldn't even answer questions properly so we wouldn't ever shop with this company again.read more
Good customer experience at Swarovski Oxford Street West
Reviewed on 2021-05-16T13:40:40
At short notice, I bought a pair of champagne flutes from Swarovski Oxford Street West.It was my 15th wedding anniversary and that's crystal ! so it was an obvious place for me to go, but making a choice as to what to get, less so. My contact was via phone initially and the team there helped me decide what and how to decide - online. They confirmed that they had the item I chose in stock and later in the day, I popped into the shop to make the purchase and pick up a ready wrapped present. perfect.
Alas, my wife didn't appreciate my taste ! and so within the returns period, I took the flutes back and was refunded without any quibble.
Whilst I don't have any product, my experience with each person that handled my request was good, every time I made contact. To the extent that I wanted to leave a review.
Thank you very much Swarovski Oxford Street West ?

Online Order Delivery Packaging
Reviewed on 2021-04-28T07:49:55
Please kindly ensure your online orders are packaged securely. Twice now I have received orders where boxes are wide open,whilst the items inside have not gone missing this will only be a matter of time. They haven't been tampered with but there is also no evidence of tape being used to hold the box together. It doesn't make me feel confident to place orders online seeing the items being delivered this way and I'm sure many others have experienced the same. This is just to give some feedback to improve the packaging for delivery, I have always been a lover of your products and will continue to buy from you. But it'll have to be when I'm in store now. But with the current situation it won't be for a while. I'd like the convenience of ordering online and knowing the items will be packaged securely for delivery.read more
