Saks Fifth Avenue review: First time buy and last time shopper

First time buy and last time shopper with this company. I will never buy anything from them ever again. If I had known their customer service was so atrocious I would have never ordered from them.

A few weeks ago, I was shopping for a item I could only find at retailers and Saks was one of the companies that was selling it. It was a bottle of 6.8 oz bottle of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris, Grand Soir, a $500 item. The package appeared to have left their shipping facility at a reasonable duration of time, and it showed to be delivered on schedule. However, when I picked up the box it was completely empty. Saks Fifth Avenue had used a company called OnTrack and during its shipping at some point someone had ripped open the side of the box and removed the item. When I contacted Saks customer service they said they would open up a case and get back to me. No idea how long it would take or any resolution for my issue at that time, but I had a bad feeling. Any company that has to “open a case” instead of resolving the issue at the time the customer calls had me worried.

Five days later they contacted me via email saying they had decided to not issue any type of refund or make any attempts to solve the problem. It was somehow my fault the item was stolen during the delivery process, and I was expected to pay $5oo for an empty box. Since there was no one to talk to and they didn’t care about making any other efforts to resolve, even after I told them I had video footage of the delivery and the way the carrier was holding the box and swinging it around you could tell it was empty. I also offered to send them pictures of the box opened from one end but note of that mattered.

I would not recommend using this company for any purchases online. If you don’t get the item they do not care as long as they have their money.
