Bad bag
I bought this bag from the Harey Nichols website thinking it was authentic, but I was totally mistaken! When the bag arrived, it was all tangled up and had strange foam and tape. When I opened it, the strap broke right off! The zipper was also messed up and there were random threads inside. I had to send it back and now I'm waiting forever to get my money back. Harey Nichols, that's not cool at all. I don't think I'll shop there again. Gucci deserves better, for real.
Chocolate gift purchase
I bought a box of chocolates as a gift from Harvey Nichols, but I was really let down by what happened. The chocolates had a best before date only four weeks away, so I felt really awkward about giving them as a gift. When I asked Harvey Nichols for a refund or exchange, I couldn't believe they said no because it was in their rules. I think as someone who shops at a fancy store, I deserve better customer service. So, I'll be shopping somewhere else from now on.
Shoes issue resolution
I recently had a problem with a fancy pair of shoes I bought at Harvey Nichols, so I reached out to their customer service for help. Even though the quality of the shoes was disappointing, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly and effectively their team addressed my issue. I purchased the shoes in June, but after just three months, they started showing wear and tear, which I found unacceptable considering how much I paid for them. The folks at Harvey Nichols stepped in right away and were able to get the brand involved, leading to a solution where the brand agreed to cover the repair costs. I'm grateful for the efforts of both Harvey Nichols and the brand, but this whole experience has me thinking twice about buying more luxury items from that brand in the future.
Black leather heels
The service at this store was amazing, eh? One of the staff members, Ali, really went above and beyond to help me find those black leather heels I was after. Not only did she help me find them, but she also made sure I got them right away with next day delivery. Her hard work and helpfulness made my shopping trip so much better, eh? I can't thank her enough for the great service. I'm super happy with my purchase and will definitely be coming back to this store in the future.
Mum's birthday present
I went to Harvey Nichols in Edinburgh with my mom to get her some fancy perfume for her birthday. We met this lady named Mandy who works with the nice smelling stuff. She was super friendly and helped my mom choose the perfect fragrance. Mandy was really knowledgeable and didn't hurry us at all. We had a great time in the store!
Cosmetics purchase
I recently had a great experience with a staff member at the makeup counter named Margaret. She was so professional and friendly, it really stood out to me. Every time I go to the store, she always goes the extra mile to help customers, including me. I never felt pressured to buy anything, and I always left happy with my choices. I even made an appointment for me and my daughter to get our makeup done by Margaret next week. I'm really excited for it because I know we'll get amazing service from her. It's the personal touch that makes a difference, and Margaret is really good at that. I really hope she gets the recognition she deserves for all her hard work.
Belt exchange denied
I went to the store the other day to exchange a belt for a smaller size. But they said they couldn't do it because you only have 14 days to make a return. I was pretty disappointed by this, especially since their stuff is so expensive. The belt was brand new, still in the packaging. I just wanted to swap it out, not get a refund. Can you believe that?
Broken earrings, slow refund
I bought a pair of earrings from this fancy store, but they ended up breaking after only a few days! I called customer service, and then I had to make the trek all the way to their London store to try to exchange them. The manager there was really rude and told me I couldn't get a refund right away. They said they had to send the earrings back to the brand, and it would take 5 weeks for me to get my money back! It's been over 5 weeks now, and I still haven't heard anything. I even sent them an email to express my complaints, but I haven't received a response! I swear, I'm never shopping there again!
Makeup consultation
I just had a makeup consultation at the cosmetics section. The lady who helped me was really nice and knew her stuff. She took the time to explain what she was doing and made sure I was comfy the whole time. She knew the products well and suggested the ones that would work best for me. It was a great experience and I was happy with the service.
Watch servicing
I just got my watch fixed at one of the stores, and I have to say, it was a great experience. The manager, Charlie, was so professional and knew his stuff. He kept me updated with emails during the whole process, which was awesome. I really liked how they took such good care of my watch and paid attention to all the little details. Big thanks to the team for doing such a fantastic job!
fragrances
My mom brought me to the store to get some nice scents and this guy, Dariusz, was amazing! He knew everything about the fragrances and was really friendly. He didn't pressure us to buy anything and allowed us to try out all the different options. He was the best employee we've ever encountered!
Tailored trousers purchase
I bought some pants at this store not long ago and the salesperson told me that loyalty members get free alterations. They told me to come back with my shoes for the fitting, but when I did, they said I had to pay for the alterations. Even though they promised me this service, they didn't keep their word. On top of that, I tried to complain but haven't heard back from them almost two weeks later.
Fake perfume purchase
Harvey Nichols sent me a bogus perfume that I ordered online. I paid $129 for the Satin Mood scent, but when it arrived, I could tell straight away it was a fake. I sent it back to Harvey Nichols to check, but they said it was real and sent it back to me. I feel like they're trying to pull a fast one on me and I'm not happy with their service. I won't be buying from them ever again. Watch out if you're thinking about ordering from Harvey Nichols online.
Bulk order of wine
I recently ordered a lot of wine from Harvey Nichols for an event, expecting to get everything I needed. Unfortunately, I got way less than what I ordered, which was pretty disappointing. I needed all of it for the event. To make matters worse, the documentation was all messed up, which just added to the confusion and hassle. I had to contact customer service to figure things out, but they didn't even say sorry for the mistake. They said they would give me a refund, but it would take up to 10 days, which seemed like a long time for their mess-up. This whole ordeal made me doubt Harvey Nichols' order system and if they really care about giving customers the right info on time.
Clothing item
My time at Harvey Nichols was quite a ride. I bought a piece of clothing online, but was bummed out when it came incomplete. I contacted customer service and they said they would search for the missing part. After waiting six weeks without any updates, I had to bug them for info. The lack of communication was frustrating. They eventually gave me a partial refund, which didn't make up for all the trouble. But then, out of the blue, they stepped up their game. They offered me prosecco and chocolate as an apology for the delay. Today, the missing piece finally arrived, and I have to give credit where it's due - they made it right in the end.
Security tag left on item
So I bought something from Harvey Nichols and when it showed up, the security tag was still on it. I was pretty annoyed and when I reached out to customer service, they weren't very helpful. All they said was they'd refund the delivery fee and told me to send it back to get the tag off. They didn't even say how long that would take!
Designer handbag
As a customer of Harvey Nichols, I recently bought a designer handbag. Unfortunately, when I got my order, I was disappointed to see that I got the wrong item. I quickly contacted their customer service team but the responses were slow and they didn't seem urgent to fix the issue. After waiting for days for them to check with their suppliers, I was told that the bag I wanted was already sold out. So, I had no choice but to return the wrong item. Not only was I bothered by their mistake, but I also had to go through the trouble of printing a shipping label and bringing it to a DHL store to return. And the fact that I might not even get a refund for their error just makes it worse. This kind of service is not okay at all, and I would advise others to think twice before shopping at Harvey Nichols in the future.
Lip gloss
The lip gloss I got is so shiny and looks amazing on my lips! The store was really cool, and the lady who helped me choose it was the nicest ever. She knew everything about lip gloss and made me feel like a beauty queen when I walked out!
Birthday gift handbag
So, I was super pumped to surprise my mom for her big 4-0 with this cute handbag, you know? But then, when I went to order it from that fancy store's site, they hit me with a total bummer - "Oh, sorry, we don't actually have that bag" - just 48 hours later! I was so disappointed, man. So, I shot them an email and their response was straight-up snoozeville, didn't even help me out at all, ugh! They were all, "Hey, here's a 10% discount on your next purchase, but only if you give us a ring first and mention this special code," like who needs that kind of hassle, ya dig? Not cool at all, dudes.
Shoes
I bought a pair of shoes from Harvey Nichols recently and the customer service was top-notch. Michelle, the staff member who helped me, was really professional and knew her stuff when it came to finding me the perfect pair. She knew all about the different styles and brands they had, and answered all my questions without any trouble. Thanks to her excellent customer service, my shopping experience was smooth and enjoyable.
