Sephora customer service

Hello,
I was in one of your sephora stores today in Pembroke Pines and went to redeem my birthday gift which was from August 26th. I have not had a chance to go in person and redeem it and than we had he hurricane as well. I spoke with Niomi at the counter and she told me I only had August to redeem it and continued to say no and just had such an attitude. My mom asked her well what is the gift anyways and she showed us and said other wise it will cost you 100 of your points and I said that's fine I'll use them because I really wanted my birthday gift... Which technically defeats the purpose of a free birthday gift and my mom told her, "she just wanted to feel special on her birthday". She didn't say anything, she gave me the item and receipt after deducting my 100points and I said thank you and she said your welcome. The whole time she had such a horrible attitude with horrible customer service, yet the person she dealt with in front of me, she was very friendly with. I normally don't complain in general, but it was totally uncalled for. I always have great customer service too. I don't expect anything, I just thought someone higher needed to be informed. Thank you.

Sephora florida mall: jcpenny sephora

As it was my birthday I went into Sephora to redeem my gift and the woman on the cash register was so rude and when I asked her about the make in store tutorial she had so much attitude towards me. Once I had finished my "It's a one eyebrow tutorial!" O realised that I had asked for the wrong free gift as I wanted the lip kit instead and I waited for the lady on the cash register (another lady) speaking to a new employee in front of me, she finished her call, gave me the dirtiest look and just walked off barely observing me.
Overall I was completely disappointed and won't return to that Sephora again or recommend it to anyone I know!

Sephora misleading store hours of operation

Wednesday, August 23, 2017
On Google search, in the website and all online info about the Saphora store at the Coconut Point Mall in Espero, FL, is posted that the store is open on Wednesdays to 9:00PM. I rushed just so I can make it before 9:00PM today and was at the door at 8:54PM. THE DOOR WAS LOCKED.
All I wanted was a Dior eye liner 181. I know exactly were to get it from and needed no more than 2 min to complete my purchase.
It took me 22 min to drive to the store and just about the same time back - just to figure that the store hires employees who rather talk to each other around the center of the store with doors LOCKED than helping customers. Please, do not mislead people with false advertising that the store is open till 9:00 PM. Extremely disappointed and outraged that you waste peoples time with zero to NO regards for your customers.
What to expect next - the doors to lock 40 min before the officially published time of CLOSING or maybe whenever the employees who clearly don't enjoy working there choose to go?!?
I will try to go elsewhere from now on.

Sephora very poor service

Sending products to customers that has broken seals, after two replacements, they still sent me one with a broken seal. How can this possibly happen? This wasted so much of my time and have stressed me out so much. What a complete nightmare to deal with them!

to Sephora
I just got the replacement and of course you never fail to disappoint me. How can your warehouse check stocks and send me another broken seal box of a product? You think another free sample can appease me?

I still don't have time to go down to Auspost to return the other one. This is just a complete nightmare! I will never ever buy from your online store or maybe from your stores too.

Hi Paula,

Hi Paula,
I am sorry as I am unsure what is the cause of this, I will request for collection for the item and I will wait for an advise from our warehouse to check on the remaining stock. As an alternative offer, you may want to have a refund instead so you can buy in the nearest Sephora store and inspect it physically, I will also reinstate the voucher you used for the purchase.

Let me know what you prefer.

Hi Fritzie,

I am not sure what to do really. This is utterly distressing, how can I make sure if I once again return this and get a replacement that I will get a box that has sealed unbroken? You've wasted so much of my time and caused irritation.

Go ahead and process a return and replacement. And can you please give me a better solution to this? Honestly I don't want to waste any of my time anymore. I am completely appalled about this online purchase. Getting bonus samples/discount cannot suffice the trouble it has given me. I should have just bought in the store and that would be it.

PLEASE PUT A STOP TO THIS. I am so over it. Thanks

Hi Paula,

I am sorry that you have received another item which has a slightly removed seal. I have highlighted this to our warehouse team. May I know if you want me to collect that again and I will replace the item. I am also unsure why this keeps on happening, so I have raised an investigation on the remaining stock.

If I only knew this would happen, I should have just not bothered returning the old one, I've wasted my time and got frustrated with your bad customer support and wasn't able to use the product immediately.

This is hilarious! I am not sure how are you going to able to handle this issue that seems to be never-ending! I didn't even get email or call from you. I did give you my number in previous emails.

I have spoken to Chesca about this and she had acknowledged to have over looked your concern.

I shall send you the return label and let me know when you can drop it off the post and I will monitor the movement of the parcel. I shall also go ahead an request for the replacement.

I will keep you updated.

Hi, can a supervisor/manager please call me as I've been trying to call your hotline during your "open times" but always get voicemail saying to email you instead. This has been pretty upsetting! I have paid $171 for my order, I haven't touched the product. And then I'll get this response which would mean it can take more than a week to get my order back! Your customer service has been really annoying, upsetting, disappointing! Worst customer service I've ever had. Call me at [protected] (9am-5pm AEST) or [protected] (after work hours). Hopefully I'll get a call within a day! This is really absurd!

This is really making me so upset! You have my email, you can check my invoice in your system. I sent you pictures of my order, it's the foreo product, the seal is broken and I didn't know if the product has been opened before and sephora has just taped it! Also it is not acceptable to have a miscommunication if you take so much hours to reply! It is wasting everybody's time!

Hi,

This is disappointing. I have emailed you my concern about my order I received. The seal is broken, I even attached pictures. And yes, I have used your credit voucher, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't get reply about my issue nor it affects the quality of product I get. And if you check my order then you could have confirmed the answer to that question. I don't get it why you will ask that question at all!

Sephora staff

Being new to makeup, I never had much knowledge about offline makeup shopping. And since I've acne, that was the first thing that attracted me to the world of makeup.
I'd seen enough of beauty tutorials to know about Sephora. And it became a dream kind of cosmetic shopping store.
So when i finally had a chance to go to one of their stores in Delhi, I was actually really happy about it. But after strolling and seeing each and every product, I've seen beauty bloggers use. I approached a sales assistant asking her about full coverage foundations for oily acne prone skin type. She just ignored me telling some other staff to see what I need. The other staff were busy demonstrating products to other beautifully polished customers.
I knew that I didnt want anything from Sephora anymore. So walked out.
If this was because I'd acne on my face and didnt look polished, I can't help, but hate the Sephora Staff for it.
I hated my dream store and will never walk into that store again!

PS: I got my HD full coverage foundation from INGLOT the same day. The staff was really helpful. :)

Sephora locked online account & rejected online orders

I loved Sephora and have been with Sephora over 10 years until March 2017. They locked my online account and I was unable to place order without any notification nor explanation. I started calling and found it was due to my dispute back in 2016 and it took me a while to figure out the dispute was an mistake so I called my credit card company to stop the dispute as Sephora told me to in order to clear up my account. In about 5 months I've called and emailed Sephora customer service for more than 10 times but my online account was still not clear up. Different people told me different things and screw it over and over again. My bank did stop the dispute after I called them and one of Sephora's representatives did take my credit card info over the phone and said it will be taken care of after 72 hours and she was supposed to call me back for follow-up. However, none of that happened, and my account was still locked and my orders just got cancelled. I had to explain to every single person that I talk to from Sephora for the same damn thing over and over. Some seemed not to know what to do but advice me go shop at the store period. If i have the time to shop at store I wouldn't bother to go through all the trouble for months to clear that up. Some told me the issue will be resolved in whatever time frame which never happened. I figured none of them intend to help me with the issue but just bullshi* whatever to get it over with then they will just forget about it. All the promises and follow-up were all lies. So I really don't know what to do about it. Maybe they think they're so popular now so don't care one or two royal customer. I used to recommend Sephora to all my friends but not any more since i've had such nightmare with them for about 5 months.

Sephora incomplete online order

Sephora advertised that I will get 3 samples free with my online order of $130 perfume. Order notification (order #[protected]) listed 3 samples but when order arrived they were not there. I called customer support and was told that they apologize for not sending them but there is nothing they can do as samples cannot be sent separately. It looks to me Sephora is cheating their customers by promising something they never intended to provide.

Sephora wrong items consistently in order

I make purchases from Sephora one to two times every week because I buy a lot of makeup. The reason that I always buy from Sephora is because you are allowed to place an order for three different samples that you select with every order. I always wait to place my order until they put items that I want to have online. My last four orders which I placed so that I could get the samples I need to see if I want to purchase the full size of certain products all arrived with not one of the samples that I ordered I have contacted them two different times over the last six months and they send me a generic form letter giving me like 200 points or something. I don't want points. I want what I ordered to be sent to me. So I am going to assume because every order has had nothing that I asked for that we really cannot select samples anymore. Points in my account aren't going to allow me to sample the thing that I ordered so I still don't know if I want to purchase full-size which totally defeated the purpose of my last few orders. I sent a message and I'm waiting for a reply to ask if this time they can just please send me what I ordered. I have not heard back and I'm going to guess that they won't do it. The ironic thing is all of the things that I ordered that they did not send are still showing as available options with any order. I have already a million random samples of things I don't use and since that's all I get from Sephora and my order is dismissed completely I feel like I need to find somewhere else like Nordstrom to make my orders moving forward. This complaint is written because this is such a ridiculous reason to lose a weekly customer. How hard can it be to pick the right item in the warehouse? Since the last two times I complained about this I got a generic form letter but yet it continues to happen that's why I am submitting this complaint. It's as if they don't realize that there are people that place orders when the right samples are available to add to the order.

Sephora the rituals of hammam (black soap contains eucalyptus and olive oil)

Greetings
I bought items at a sephora store in Paris (Aeroville Mall) for my sister. As per usual the cashiers drop some samples in my take away bag which included everything from perfume samples n the above mentioned product.
Now these items I purchased were for my sister. So I gave her the RITUALS OF HAMMAM sample (an item I have never used or heard of before) which turned out to be hazardous. She used it as instructed only to wake up to a swollen face and had constant itching and reddish breakouts due to scratching.
I am horrified by this and to think it wasn't an item of my choosing but was chosen for me as a token of appreciation which ended causing harm than good.
Through medication n a lot of lotioning n aloe vera extracts she is better however with unwanted and unwelcome scars.
I would like to know what your actions will be with this revelation?!
Please stop offering these as free samples from the reviews I was horrified to learn that I am not the first to complain.

Sephora foundation

Hi I'm Mackenzie and I ordered a bottle of your most expensive foundation and when I got it the bottle was open and the foundation was spilled everywhere. I have always ordered products from Sephora.com and I have always been satisfied but then I get this package that the bottle is open and was spilled all over the box. It was not that the bottle broke but the top was completely off.

Sephora sample pack five mascara promotion

A couple months ago I purchased a 28.00 sample pack of 5 mascaras still being promoted. The staff is big on promotion and shy on follow through. I returned to choose one free mascara from the pack per the offer and was told I could not have it unless I had the coupon in the box. This should have been explained when selling it. I had no idea and previously used my purchase history in Sephora's system to get the necessary information to take advantage of a promotion. No help was offered. I expressed my disappointment declaring I may rethink purchasing at Sephora at all in the future. The sales associate simply shrugged her shoulders and said she was sorry. That's not good enough for a 30.00 expenditure. More and more it seems Sephora is big on pushing the sale and slight on supporting those purchases. Unless there is appropriate customer service intervention I'll make Beauty Brands my new cosmetic haunt.

Sephora sephora scam

I have nothing good to say about Sephora, they are terrible and I hate them! I had the worst experience and I still haven't received my refund or my order.
I bought some make up from them and paid over $200, but never received anything.
Later Sephora told me that my order was cancelled because they were not able to deliver to my address. I asked about my money and they assured me there was nothing to worry about and said I'll get a refund within a week. That never happened.
Then I received a message from Sephora and thought that maybe there was finally some news about my money, but NO! In that message they asked me to leave a feedback about their service and products. What a joke! But then I thought that wasn't such a bad idea and left a review where I told them how disgusted I was with them. And as you can see I'm still writing reviews. I want everyone to know what Sephora is, and I want to warn people about what can happen with them if they decide to buy from Sephora. Avoid them!

Sephora customer service was very poor

I bought a lot from Sephora but when my last order arrived two items were missing. Sephora support seemed nice and kind and they promised that I'll get the missing items as soon as possible, but they were not able to tell the exact delivery date. My items never arrived and every time I contacted Sephora I heard nothing but empty promises. Their rep assured me that items were sent and even promised to give me a tracking number.
I am very disappointed with Sephora! I used to buy a lot from them and can tell that they used to be nice. But my last experience was terrible and I will not buy from them again. Customer service was very poor.

Sephora worst online shop ever!

I have purchased a perfume box from Sephora and nothing ever arrived so I called and asked about my order and they said that it was cancelled. They said that my items were no longer in stock. I asked them so when they were planning to tell me about that and they replied nothing. They offered me a refund and I agreed. Was supposed to get my money weeks ago and still nothing. Do not order anything from this terrible company. Too bad I did not check the reviews earlier.

Sephora very slow

I ordered some beauty products from Sephora a while ago. Their delivery service is extremely slow, and I received the products very late. When I opened the package I realized that foundation was old. I immediately contacted the company, sent several emails, but no one ever responded. I'm sure they would offer me a replacement or a refund, because they are quite reputable. But they are very slow! Their shipping, replies, refunds usually takes forever.

Sephora poor customer service

I have purchased some products from Sephora a couple of times. When I went to Sephora store I felt like a ghost, because no one ever helped me. No one ever asked if I needed any help. Their employees just standing around doing nothing. I asked young lady if she could show me some products, but was completely ignored. I'm so disappointed. Sephora products are really nice, but the lack of costumer service is absolutely disgusting! I will never go back to Sephora store again!

Sephora bad experience with sephora

I had quite bad experience with Sephora and I'm very disappointed. I've ordered products in total $300 cost but when I received my package and opened it I saw only a lot of samples in the box. I contacted Sephora customer support many times, sent them messages and even called. I wanted to return the wrong package and was hoping to get a refund. I received an email from Sephora and was asked to call their support. When I called they said that I have to wait 14 days and they will decide if they can offer refund. However its already 25th day but there is no response and no refund. When I tried to contact them again, they just answered that I need to call support again.

Sephora horrible attitude!

This company has horrible attitude to its customers and don't care about anything! I waited over four for my order to be delivered. But it never did. Their tracking system kept changing every day! One day it said in transit, the other day it said out of stock. Then I called customer service and heard only rude things from them. They said I was very impatient customer. Then I asked them to just cancel the order. They said “Yes, ok”, but they never cancelled it! Month ago I received an email stating they'll give me a refund. But it was month ago and there is still no refund. All the nerves! I will never buy from Sephora again! I want everyone to know about their terrible customer service. Do not order anything from Sephora!,

Sephora double charged for product and can't get them to reverse the charge

We are having serious difficulty getting them to return our money - we were double charged $179.31! - That's a lot of money to be missing in an account for a mom! The register crashed and she had to reboot it - beware if that happens - they said it would not double charge and yet when we looked at our account it took the purchase out twice! We alerted them right away and it is now the 2nd day with still no reversal! We've called everyday and they say it's out of their control (something to do with tech support?). strange...we'll keep trying...
