Dear Tiffany & Co team,The decline of customer experience I recently encountered at the Tampa store # *** is alarming. The extent of the decline is appalling and goes against every core value of the beloved brand. Ive never been treated so terribly and disrespected by any retailer, let alone the brand famous for its finesse and class. I visited the store on June 6th to drop off two items for repairs. I was mistreated, however, let that go. I returned to the store on 8.24.24 to pick up both my items. Manager ******* retrieved my items, handed me my two pouches holding items and asked if I was ready to pay. I politely asked to box my items because the presentation always accommodated my repairs and polishing in the past. ******* laughed to my face with No, we never box repairs, only new purchases. When I questioned her, she raised her voice with That is a policy, we do not box repairs. If I box it for you, it may end up on ****** People sell the empty boxes on ***** and for that reason our policy does not allow us to give out boxes. After I asked to see the policy prohibiting ********* presentation for paying customers, she informed me that she will make a one-time exception for me. Visibly annoyed, ******* quickly & sloppy wrapped two boxes, and stuffed them in a tiny bag. ******* did not offer to clean/polish the jewelry I was wearing. I left the store heartbroken and in disbelief of the treatment I received. Dear Tiffany, What do other peoples actions on **** have to do with me? Insinuating that I requested to package my 2 repaired items so that I can sell 2 empty boxes is not only ridiculous but disrespectful and appalling. This experience is nothing short of a slap in the face. We have been loyal to the brand for almost 2 decades, purchased items and visited stores in the ** and abroad. I could never dream of such a terrible treatment. 1. Is that your policy regarding the packaging?2. Was standard of service violated by ******* and Hope?Business response

Dear BBB,
We have addressed the clients concerns with a letter sent on September 6th after a lengthy conversation with one of our directors, in the conversation with the director and in the letter we explained our typical practice is not to return repaired merchandise in blue boxes at our store locations. We do not have a written policy to this effect to provide. Separately, we expressed our regret that the client was not pleased with the service she received at the store and have addressed this matter appropriately with the store in question.
We now consider this matter closed.Sincerely,

I purchased a Tiffany South Sea ********************* Pendant for $3928.5(including taxes) on 05/08/2024 as a gift to my wife, the package came on 05/10/2024 night. After I opened the package, there were just gift wraps in the package but not the necklace. And the receipt was also missing from the package.I reached out to Tiffany on 05/11/2024 and they said they opened a case for investigation and needs a couple of weeks to get a conclusion.On 06/18/2024, I received an update from Tiffany saying the investigation was completed and the claim was denied. Tiffany suggested I dispute with my credit card company. I tried to dispute but the dispute was rejected on 07/04/2024.On 07/05/2024, I called Tiffany for the reason why the claim was denied, it turned out that they asked ***** to do an investigation and ***** just gave them my signature and photos of the package. I told them I actually have evidence suggesting the package was opened and taped back but Tiffany said I should have noticed that at the time I started the claim and there is nothing they can do even if I have new evidence now. Tiffany did ask me if I saw the package came damaged at the time I filed the claim but I was not able to tell since the package was opened from the side and taped back carefully. I only noticed this after a closer look but Tiffany never followed up with me on if I have new evidence or they progress on the investigation.Business response

Hello Sir/madam I bought a necklace at the Tiffany&Co store in the ***************** in *******. I asked to return the necklace to the store credit. Because this necklace has never been worn. It's brand new. The request was refused by the direct manager of the Tiffany&Co. However, she didn't give me any other solution. The store manager was so rude that she didn't even send me off. She said that if I was not satisfied, I would complain to customer service. Then I wrote many emails to the customer service of this company. And got a reply that they only served online orders. Their departments have passed the buck to each other, which has left me with no way to lodge a complaint. I think Tiffany&Co's store in ***************** is very disrespectful to consumers and I have been treated unfairly. I'd like to ask this institution to follow up for me. Thank you for your help!Business response

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Tiffany & Co. regarding their refusal to repair my diamond ring without additional charges. Less than five months after purchasing the ring, a diamond fell out, and I reached out to Tiffany for assistance. Unfortunately, their response was unsatisfactory, and I believe this situation warrants intervention.Details of the Incident:Purchase Date:December 18, 2023 Issue: A diamond fell out of the ring only months after purchase.Contact with Tiffany: I contacted Tiffanys store in Natick Massachusetts and customer service to request a repair under warranty.Tiffanys Response: Tiffany informed me that repairing the ring would incur additional charges, despite the issue occurring within a short time after purchase.My Concerns:The ring is still under warranty, and I expected Tiffany to honor their commitment to quality and craftsmanship.The diamond falling out so soon after purchase raises questions about the rings durability and workmanship.I believe that Tiffany should repair the ring at no extra cost, considering the circumstances.Desired Resolution: I kindly request that Tiffany & Co. repair my diamond ring promptly and without any additional charges. As a loyal customer, I am disappointed by their unwillingness to address this issue satisfactorily.Steps Taken:I contacted Tiffanys customer service via email on April 25, 2024 I provided all necessary details and expressed my dissatisfaction with their response.Business response

Dear BBB,
Please accept our apology for the delayed response. Our Product Commitment covers any defect in materials, craftmanship or service. After reviewing the order, it was noted that the diamond was missing due to impact; therefore, the servicing fee was accurate.
Sincerely,

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:The company claim that there was an impact that caused the diamond to fall out is incorrect. The diamond fell out due to shoddy craftmanship. The fact that the company refuses to reimburse a loyal customer for their manufacturing defect is surprising and incredibly disappointing.
In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

I am a big fan of the brand and have been collecting their jewelry for years. To fund more pieces I like, I would post some old ones to sell on ******** groups so I can fund for other pieces I like to add to my collection. Today 5/5/2024 I have received an email from ******** saying that your company has filed a trademark infringement complaint to have ******** delete my group and my personal account. Below is the detail of the complaint provided by ********:Report #: *************** Rights Owner: Tiffany & Co.Email: ********************************** Trademark: Tiffany.All the items I posted and shared to other Tiffany fan are all authentic and personal collection bought by me. I don't own the brand name, their trademark, copyright etc and did not have intention to infringe on their trademark/copyright, however, I do own my Tiffany& Co. Jewelries I bought. I need the company to contact me asap to resolve this issue so my ******** account can be reinstated as my ******** account has been disabled because of their complaint and ******** required Tiffany & Co. To contact them before reinstate my account. I feel like I am being unfairly punished and treated for owning Tiffany jewelries and that I cannot sell my Tiffany items if needed without being hit with trademark or copyright infringement claim even though my Tiffany & Co. Jewelries are authentic Tiffany & Co. Items I bought with my own money. I would love to work with the company to resolve this matter. This whole experience is discouraging, devastating and heart breaking. I love Tiffany & Co. And don't want this to ruin my love for Tiffany.Business response

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!
