    Awful customer service. They deserve 0 stars. I wish I would have read reviews online before I purchased in their store at Somerset Mall Troy. Users are not exaggerating when they say their customer service is awful, and they absolutely will try to blame the customer and not return the purchase. I am planning my daughter's wedding and while on store tried to reach her on the phone as I was not sure of my choice. The sales person assured me you can buy and return if it doesnt fit with the outfit. And yes after few days I went to the store and told they cannot return because the merchandise was worn.

    How in the earth I would wear it when the wedding did not happen. They refused the return, I am so offended a 53 years old woman treated like awfully and looked as a liar. Called customer service number in the back of the receipt but no help. He told me was purchased on the store and returned there. Nothing he could do for me. Hopeless. I am here in tears and offended but I had lesson learned. I will never make a purchase from the Swarovski website or store again! And based on other customer reviews, sounds like the guarantee they told me about in the store on all of their jewelry and crystals is a lie that they will not live up to. I think I will just avoid Swarovski in general.

    Customer service is trash, bought a set of jewelry at the Duty Free and can't exchange for a wristwatch in any UK store! Told I have to travel down to Czech to get it returned!!! Absolutely ridiculous.

    I collect Swarovski Crystal Figurines. Many of them have been given to me as gifts, so I don't have receipts for them. I have the full Train with all the cars. All but one car has had a wheel come off. I have the airplane and one of the propellers came off. I have the large Pineapple and the gold top came off. I wrote to Swarovski and they told me that I need my receipt or that they will repair the pieces for $90.00 each. I wrote to the headquarters and I have not received a reply. Very bad service and quality if you ask me.

    I made an online purchase for a phone case. I noticed that it processed 2X. I called their customer service line right away. I was told it was a ghost transaction and it should not go through. I also called my bank as they told me that the verification process failed and it should not go through. Somehow Swarovski still managed to process two purchases. I called them and asked them to transfer my call to a manager so they asked me a bunch of questions and finally transferred me.

    The supervisor (not manager) advised me that when I send the packages back they will pay for my shipping as they charged me 3x. I was promised I would be reimbursed. I waited. The packages came and I sent them back. They reimbursed the phone cases but not the shipping fees which totaled $65 CAD. I called back again yesterday. In total I believe I called them 5-6 times. Still nothing. I was promised a callback today... nothing. Not quite sure how this company runs their business. I hope no one makes a purchase from this place online.

    I have many pieces of Swarovski jewelry and have never needed repairs until purchasing the Remix line (online) with magnetic closures. I have altogether 10 pieces, 3 each for 2 necklaces, and 2 each for 2 bracelets. Because the magnets on the bracelets seem to not hold well, I had a jewelry store add safety chains on them, at extra cost. One of the necklaces has lost a stone after only 2 months. When I contacted customer service twice, each time I was told to bring it into a Swarovski store so they could evaluate the item. I live hundreds of miles away from a retailer, which is why I purchased online in the first place. I am very disappointed with the lack of customer service and thought this was a reputable company. I will not buy their products in the future. Don’t order online from them.

    I recently got a Swarovski remix bracelet as a birthday gift and within 2 days, the magnetism failed on me and caused my bracelet to fall off when I was outside. Since the bracelet is so dainty, I didn’t even know when it dropped off my wrist. I’m really disappointed in the quality of the product when this bracelet costs $149. @Swarovski is this how you make your so-called ‘quality products’? I don’t understand how the magnetism could fail on me so easily. It fell off my wrist not once, not twice, but 3 times when I already clipped it in properly. I’m not expecting anything from this review, I just hope future customers of yours read this and reconsider their decisions to buy from such a company. Please, make quality products.

    Bought a brand new watch online and it was delivered with a dead battery. Had to replace battery at my own expense. You would think they would have ensured that the product had a new and functioning battery in it before shipping. Avoid.

    We were at the Atlanta International airport May 21, 2018 and my husband bought a bracelet as a surprise gift for me at the Swarovski shop on the E Concourse. At the time he purchased this gift no one in the shop asked him if he wanted a small or the large size. They did not tell him that they were a franchise type of shop and that the gift could only be returned to them. Also, they did not tell him there was a 14 day return policy. This seemed ludicrous to me since it was at the busiest airport in the world and we were going to be overseas for longer than two weeks.

    You can imagine our surprise when we got back home this week and tried to return the article to the Swarovski shop in our Mall. She said she understood that it was too large and that the crystals scratched my arm but we could not return it to them since it was purchased at one of their "special shops". There was no way to know any of this. I called Swarovski's customer service department and all they said they would do for me would be to put in a complaint to the shop it was purchased for not letting us know the rules/regulations. I used to own a different franchise and when a complaint was made to the Parent company we were asked to make things right with the customer. I find this lack of concern for their customer's outrages. If there is anyone reading this knows of any recourse we can do please let us know.

    I have been a long standing member with Swarovski. I have even gone Innsbruck Austria but I have to say right now I am very disappointed and dissatisfied with them. I own at least 40 pieces and have always love it. It was time once again to renew my membership and I always do three years at a time which is $99.00. I wrote a check and put 99.00 put in the line where I have to write it out. I wrote, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine," so an overpayment of $900.00. I have spoken to customer service three times over 3 weeks and have been told they are looking into it. I sent them a copy of the check front and back. Just got off the phone with them and they said it would be another week. At this point I would like to cancel my membership but they told me I cannot even cancel. UGH!!

    Placed an order - supposed to arrive at my home Jan 2nd. Changed address on UPS to access point 2 minutes away. Jan 2nd at 7 pm. Never arrived. Called UPS. Got it shipped to my work for next business day. Jan 3rd arrived at access point that I couldn't get to before it closed. Got access point to give to business neighbour as I was going to arrive after they closed. Within the week, placed another order. Sent it to the closed store. Call UPS to confirm delivery, package never made it on a truck and they can't find it. Travelled from Oakville to Concord to attempt to retrieve in a snowstorm. Ended up damaging my vehicle in an accident because of the bad weather. 700 in repairs! Package eventually found 2 days later and arrived at store.

    During this process I attempted to contact the store where it was to arrive. I called over 30 times during business hours and no one answered. I filed a complaint with the customer relation department. Was told I would hear in 7 days. 10 days later I Call, agent says no updates yet. 3 weeks later, today I call again. Speak to a manager Emanuel who wasted 50 minutes of my time. Was super rude, hung up on 2x and offered no solutions to the poor service. Call the agents an additional 5x and was hung up each time. Awful service.

    Before ordering eight items online, I contacted Swarovski customer service to make sure that eight gift bags will be included in the package. A woman said that I definitely receive the same amount of gift bags, as the number of items I am going to order. Finally, I received ABSOLUTELY NO gift bags. When I contacted customer service again, they said they are unable to ship me just gift bags "because the order is already being processed". They offered to visit a local Swarovski store and request some gift bags even when I said that I am unable to visit their store. Customer service representative repeated again and over again that I have to visit their store.

    ABSOLUTELY no flexibility in the business and no respect for customers. Their website is a nightmare also. Hyperlink "Shopping bag" is not clickable. And when they offering to enter your date of birth "for future presents" the field is not clickable also. I am not really sure that I will order anything from swarovski.com anymore in my life.

    Having been a dedicated customer for Swarovski jewelry for so many years, I recently had a very disappointing experience, first with the service in Swarovski store in Bethesda, MD. I bought a pair earrings for over $150.00 but when one of the earrings got damaged, I took it to the Bethesda store and got very poor service from the salesperson. She took my information and sent in the earring in for repair and then after about two weeks, I got a call to come and pick up my earring. When I got there, I was told the earring was not repairable and that I should call the customer service if I needed to complain. The sales person was extremely rude and unprofessional. I have been communicating with the consumer service for now two weeks and the final decision from Swarovski was that they cannot repair or replace my $150 earrings.

    I was told that there is nothing they can do for me. I am now in the process of take legal action and also put out bad review on the service and poor quality Swarovski jewelry. All I wanted was a replacement for my damaged earrings or a store credit. As a long time customer, I did not deserve such a treatment. I will certainly no longer buy anything from Swarovski and I will continue to promote the bad service and quality of their items.

    Had bought a beautiful ladies pink pearl watch for my wife from Duty Free in Europe. With full warranty / booklet / receipt / stamp... The works. In the rush we did not see there was a damage to the strap, and we took it to an outlet store to get the warranty repair/replacement for the leather strap. Guess what. Firstly we were told Warranty is not valid in USA for items bought overseas. Secondly the strap is not covered (so I asked them show me where it is mentioned that only mechanical, glass is covered, and leather strap is excluded... Which they could not). The staff and management were both haughty and rude and would not listen. So sent a long detailed message to the corporate customer service, did not get a fair response. I will end up buying for a new leather strap and getting it all fixed at my expense. I must say a terrible customer service organization from an above average crystal company.

    I visited the Swarovski store at Columbia mall Maryland today. I left the store very upset. The reason for my visit was to have my angelic gold tone ring stones repaired. I explained to her I do not wash my hands with it or wear it every day. The associate advised me that there would be a $50.00 fee because it was purchased more than a year ago. She made it clear to me that it was custom jewelry and these things happen. I have a hard time with having to pay this high fee. So I left the store with my ring. Swarovski should have a better warranty if they want people to continue purchasing their products. I have the rare rings in white and gold tone as well. Some of these stones have fallen out too. Due to my experiences, I will never purchase Swarovski jewelry again. How disappointing because I really like the styles.

    I purchased an item online. It was damaged due to defective packaging. As it turns out their return policy online states something very different than what is on their packing list. Basically you have to return the item and they will refund you. If you still want the item you have to repurchase it. VERY different than what their website says. Hopefully they will figure this out before someone takes their feedback to another level other than their "customer service department." I also discovered that the website and the brick and mortars are "different companies." Not sure how accurate that is or what that even means. I will continue to purchase in store as that is where I receive the best service, even though that is slipping as well. If you took a peek in my jewelry armoire you would like I own stock in the company. This experience has caused me to start looking other places...

    Extremely knowledgeable sales staff. Friendly and efficient. They know you are paying for quality and they deliver. The price may turn some buyers off, but you get what you pay for. My wife absolutely adored the pendant I bought for her and that gift has paid off in a number of ways. Swarovski has a long history in their field so it stands to reason that they would produce a large array of items. While there are a tremendous amount of choices, the sales staff did an excellent job of helping me make the perfect selection. As I mentioned before, genuine Swarovski items often carry a premium price tag. However the name alone carries weight and their products live up to the hype. Seldom is this true these days! Slept sculpt hand crafted jewelry! What more do you need to say. The lineage of this company and its prestige around the world are completely and entirely justified. I would challenge anyone to find more perfect crystal than can be found with Swarovski!

    Not the Swarovski store itself, but with other retailers like Michaels. The items are locked in cases in the stores and there are hardly ever any salespeople to help you take a closer look. It is very hard to find out specific beads in the color or size that you need in regular craft stores. You mostly have to order the items online. These beads are beautiful and color fast, but I'm just not convinced that the price should be so expensive. You're basically paying for the brand name at approximately 6-10 dollars for a small pack. Meanwhile there are other Austrian Aurora Borealis crystals that are possibly even sturdier than the Swarovski beads and they are so much cheaper. They are high quality. The only issue I have with them is that they break very easily if you are making earrings or other wire jewelry.

    When I took the item back so it could be repaired I was told that it was my fault. The stones fell out and it was not their responsibility to repair items "damaged due to negligence by the customer". The selection was amazing. There was every style and color to go with anyone's taste/wishes. There was every type of item imaginable. Unfortunately, the price range was unbelievable. If the item I purchased would have been the quality that I was led to believe that it was, the price would have been acceptable. I did purchase it. But with the item literally falling apart, the price was too much. The quality left much to be desired. As I mentioned earlier, the stones fell out during the initial wearing. I wore the item when I went out to dinner. I was just sitting, eating my dinner, when the stones fell out, one by one.

    Jewelry are good. You can choose from regular priced or sale. Browse over watches, necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, charms, even smart phone cases, pens and other fashion accessories. They have products on sale. Almost 50% but only while stocks last. Sale is online or in the store. Browse watches or jewelry or accessories on sale. They have been designing since 1895, so I'm guessing the quality is good as it is over 120 years. They also use new technology and they claim they are the leader.

    Customer service was above and beyond what I expected. I needed to purchase a gift and the salesperson was extremely helpful and made suggestions within my budget. Extensive selection of jewelry and I was able to find something I liked. The purchase was to be a gift for my niece's graduation and I wanted it to be very special. I chose a very simple but elegant necklace at the suggestion of the salesperson. I was working within a budget and was still able to find something beautiful. The necklace had matching earrings which my niece went back and purchased after I had given her the necklace. It is a beautiful set. I wish I was able to buy the set in the beginning but this make it a little pricey. But I feel it is worth the extra money for such quality. I could have gone somewhere else and spent less money but the quality and the beauty would not have been there.

    I have several pieces of their jewelry myself and am always complimented when I wear them. The quality of this particular manufacturer is always superior. My husband tries to add to my collection for my birthday and holidays. When I have a gift to purchase I usually turn to them.

The selection they do have is all very similar and it makes it hard to choose from. They have very good products at a low price. The quality is great. It stands up and holds great.

    I returned an item to this company. It took at least two weeks of me waiting to see, hear anything back from them regarding the receipt of the return. Finally I called and they said it would take another two weeks before I would hear if they had received my return. Two weeks later they sent me an e-mail stating they had received my merchandise and that they would issue a refund, BUT it was going to take them another two to three weeks to refund the money. I cannot for any reason understand why would take so long to refund a product they had already received. I paid through my PayPal account but the same held true with a credit card. To date 2/25/14, THEY STILL HAVE NOT returned my money. Very very dissatisfied with this merchant. I will never order from them again. Be aware if you return something back to SWAROVSKI.com. This company will take a month if not longer for you to receive a refund. BAD PRACTICE!!
