    As an experienced high-end shopper, I had a highly unsatisfactory experience at the Burberry store in **************** while attempting to get a "shoe refresher" for my $1,500 shoes. Instead of being returned in improved condition, the shoes came back duller, scuffed, and creasedworse than before. I suspect the shoes were never actually sent out for servicing.Poor communication from the store team (Manager *******, **************** ***** and ***** who was present today) led to significant delays, with no timely updates despite multiple follow-ups. I had to travel from ****** to ******* to address the issue in person, incurring additional expenses, only to be met with dismissive and rude service. The manager deflected responsibility, blaming the shoe bags for the damage instead of offering a proper resolution.I am demanding a replacement pair and wants to file a formal complaint against the ******* Galleria Burberry team for their lack of professionalism and poor service, stating that this experience does not align with Burberrys brand standards.

    Dear *** or Madam,I was writing to you regarding a recent purchase I made on **************************************** paid $1800 for six gift cards on ************************************** on Dec 17, 2024.Before my purchase I contacted the customer service agent to make sure that the maximum number of gift cards for one order was 6.After I received the 6 gift cards, I found out that Burberrys website could only take up to 5 gift cards per order. There was one extra gift card I had no use ****** loss because of Burberry customer agents false advertising.Therefore I contacted Burberry on Dec 23, 2024, and explained the situation. Burberry's failure to receive an appropriate response to this problem has prompted me to write directly to you. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving my complaint. I would like to receive a refund from Burberry of the full cost of one of the gift cards in the amount of $100.I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding my problem.Please contact me if you have questions or need additional information,Sincerely,******** **********

    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:

    Its clear that I have been lied to about this; I was told that the maximum number of gift cards able to be used on one order is six, when it turned out to be only five. I wasted my money because I was given inaccurate information. I dont really care about that $100, but the whole situation feels very unfair. Unless I am given a proper solution, I will no longer trust / use this brand anymore.

    On November 11, 2024 around 10 am, we went to the Burberry store at the ******** location. We are looking for a specific jacket as a gift which we know our parents will like. The sales representative ***** ***** told us they no longer carry that jacket and she recommended a similar one. We do not quite like the jacket and we don't know if our parents will like it so we did not want to buy it right on the spot. We told her that this will be a gift and we are not sure if we want it today. she saw our hesitation and assured us that if our parents don't like it, we can be issued a refund at anytime. We even told her that we live in ********, which it will be highly inconvenient for us to return to the store. She reassure us that we may contact her and she can set up a mailing method for us to do the return. With her promise, we decided to made the purchase. After the purchase, she even urges us not to get the receipt since we can just call her number and start the refunding process whenever we want. After we send the gift to our parents, they do not like it and said it was a completely different series. After this, we contacted Burberry and ask ***** ***** if we can start the returning and refunding process. On the phone, she denied that she has told us that a refund can be made and that we have to go in person to do the refund. We felt highly cheated by this sales representative, she lied into us buying the jacket that we do not like in the first place. We urge the corporation to get the camera footage during the purchase as this behavior is not acceptable. We tried to call the store again and they hang us up 4 times and when they finally picks up, they cursed at us and hang up the phone. We were able to reach the management team at ******** after reporting them through the cooperation number. They still do not want to take responsibility. We want to request a return and refund for the purchase as promised by ***** *****, the sales representative during the time.

     Thank you for your involvement in this matter. We do not believe the Burberry store at ******** wants to resolve this issue. We have spent two whole days trying to resolve the issue with them last week and they either choose to hang up or curse at us. The higher management team called us only after we called the corporation number where they elevated the issue. However, they still do not want to help and only offer the exchange for the item despite one of their employees promising a refund during purchase. We do not want to be in contact with the store directly anymore as we think they do not respect us. Please let us know if you can resolve this issue on our behalf. Thank you for your time.

    The store's policy allows only exchanges for in-store purchases, but a one-time exception is being offered despite the lack of a receipt. The client has been informed that an exchange is the only resolution, as a refund cannot be processed.

    Dear Burberry **************** Team,I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the quality of a Burberry bag I purchased as a Mothers Day gift. Despite being handled with care and used sparingly, the lettering on the bag has already begun to fade and disappear.Given that this bag is a product of Burberry, a brand known for its superior craftsmanship and luxury, I am deeply disappointed. I selected this bag with the belief that it would embody the quality and durability that your brand is renowned for. However, the rapid deterioration of the logo is unacceptable, especially for a premium product purchased for such a special occasion.Due to the poor quality and the fact that this issue occurred despite proper care and minimal use, I am requesting a full refund for this purchase. I have attached a photo of the bag to illustrate the issue and would be happy to provide further details if required.I trust that Burberry will stand behind its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction by processing this refund promptly. Please let me know the next steps to facilitate this process.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.Sincerely,***** **********

    I purchased a $500 gift card from Burberry website several years ago. Recently, I was told that the card is no longer active, and I can not use it anymore. There was no prior warning to me that the gift cards would ever expire, and no warning written on the card itself. I'm not sure this is even legal.

    We went to Burberry at the *********************, and did a return on 05/12/24 for the amount of $657.00. We were told they could not give us a cash refund and that we would be receiving a check in 6 weeks. Which would be around June 23. I have called multiple times and they took down a message stating that the store manager would look into the check refund and would call us back. We are now coming close to 9 weeks with no resolution, and no callback. We went to the store on Sunda July 7th, and we were told that they would look into this during the week. Here we are close to another week with no response. Greatly appreciate your time and assistance. Thank you.

    I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years. I love their design and products but would only buy when they go on sale. I shop mostly online at Burberry.ca. In May and June, my online orders have been automatically cancelled by Burberry and I dont get the sales items I wanted and now they are sold out. I reached out to their customer service inquiring about this issue and was told I can no longer shopping online with this account and I must shop at their stores. They would not tell me why but I deserve to know as I did not do anything wrong. This needs to come with a reasonable explanation. Please help!
