A truly appalling store one that cannot even keep it’s customers data safe by using out sourced companies. I will never use you again as I have no trust in your ability of keeping my data safe.

I ordered a €600 winter jacket

I ordered a €600 winter jacket, wore it for 3 months after which the seems on both sides came undone. I contacted customer service who (after first ignoring me twice) needed a week to inform me that based on the photos it was clear this was no product defect but rather due to ‘influences from outside’ in a short and rather arrogant e-mail. My question as to what this means I never received an answer..
Reply to response below: 56% of your reviews are in the very lowest category. Your respons to my message is symptomatic for your service. Your ratings suggest that faking interest whilst taking no ownership are not appreciated by your customers.. who knew.

Hi Freek,

I'm sorry to hear the answer you received about your complaint is that we can not help you with it, because the issue does not fall under the warranty. I can not check why you haven't received an answer yet to your follow up e-mail because I do not have enough information to look it up with. Perhaps you can send us a message with Whatsapp (0621135135) with your question and more information, although I'm afraid it will not change the decision. My apologies for the dissapointment.

Kind regards,

I ordered via the online shop

I ordered via the online shop. The package was lost by DHL and I contacted the de Bijenkorf customer service. They told me to wait 3 days to give DHL a chance to recover the package and to contact them again if I still didn’t receive my package. After 4 days I haven’t received anything yet and reached to de Bijenkorf again as agreed with them. The customer service agent kept on repeating that it is their protocol to wait for 3 days and completely ignored everything I said. The tone of the customer service agent was outright rude and clearly signaled an unwillingness to help in anyway about the delivery issue. In the end he cut me off in the middle of the conversation. In conclusion: I’m out almost 50€ without package or refund and de Bijenkorf could not care less. The service is astonishingly bad for a premium retailer. Absolute unwillingness to help resolving delivery issues and remarkable rude behavior by customer service.

Hi Nhung,

I'm sorry to hear that you did not receive your package on time.
I can also understand that if one colleague tells you to wait 3 days you don't like it if the next colleague tells you after 3 days to wait two more. Because of your protests about it he started the process to get the webshop involved the same day anyway and it seems to have been solved quickly after that.

My apologies again for the inconvenience!

Damaged goods

I have recently ordered shoes in the online store. Although delivered fast as promised, the shoes were badly scratched, so I returned them immediately.
A bit disappointing to receive the purchase in such a shape considering high prices.

Hi Katerina,

I'm sorry to hear you did not want to keep the shoes you ordered because of the scratches. We do offer the possibility to return webshop orders. This means that sometimes the items we accept from such returns are damaged. Of course we have a lot of procedures to make sure such items do not get send to another customer but sometimes it gets overlooked anyway.

My apologies for the inconvenience. I hope your next pair looked and felt good.

Hi Olaf.
We are sorry to hear that your order was delivered on a day when no one was home. That is certainly not the intention. I think there was a delay in the delivery service. If you have not received your package, you can always contact our customer service via Whatsapp. My colleagues are ready for you and will be able to help you as well.

Have a nice day.

Ordering with bijenkorf card online…

Ordering with bijenkorf card online with voucher and points? Don't do it! It will take 3 hours of your life. And you end up with nothing ordered. Worst website store ever.

Hi Marco,

I'm sorry to hear you ran into a problem whilst trying to order with a voucher or de Bijenkorf Cadeaucard and de Bijenkorf Card points. That must have been frustrating. Maybe there was an error on our webshop or with your de Bjienkorf Card or voucher/cadeaucard.

I'd like to hear more about it so we can hopefully help you with it. Can you send us a Whatsapp (0621135135) message with your questions, what you have already tried to solve it and your e-mailaddress? Thanks a lot!

Plenty to improve

I ordered a ring at the Bijenkorf in Eindhoven with the promise they will call when It will be in. Since ordering on the website apparently takes about 1 day to arrive at your door I wondered why I have been waiting for a week, when calling the helpdesk they told me the Eindhoven store doesn't have a phone number or any direct way to communicate and that they would send them an email asking if they could call me, in other words my situation did not change in any way. After trying to reconnect the line suddenly went dead for 3 times. Trying to get help via Bijenkorf WhatsApp helpchat was a total joke as well, within 20 minutes 3 different people kept asking me the same question totally ignoring my answers. Considering cancelling my order if they do not call within 3 days.

Hi Ton,

I'm sorry it's taking a much longer time then expected to receive the ring you ordered from our store in Eindhoven. Ordering from the webshop (which has its items in a distribution center) and from a store (an extra service we came up with during the Covid lockdown) is vastly different however. It may indeed take a bit longer, for example if they are very busy. I've tried to look you up in our customer database but I could not find anything with your name so I can not at this time say anything about the service my colleagues have tried to provide to you.
Please do feel free to contact us on Whatsapp again though, hopefully I can help you further with this, even if I might not be able to fix it for you straight away.

My apologies again for the inconvenience!

Kind regards,

Return

Yesterday, I received an email from de Bijenkorf that my box with the return( order #33488892) arrived empty. I contacted postnl and they mentioned that de Bijenkorf has to contact them to resolve the issue. I really hope de Bijenkorf can solve this issue because I've sent the item and there was definitely something wrong. Unfortunately, de Bijenkorf's customer service doesn't connect me with the department that handling my issue.
Post nl received my package at 10:26 (08-09-2021). Then there are also messages from the 9th of September where post nl mentions some problems with the delivery and later on, on the 12th of September, there is a message that Post nl received my package (AGAIN).
The second time post was received by post.nl on Sunday at 19:09 which is not possible because Dutch post doesn’t work on Sundays.

Additionally, if you click on the link of the email that says your package will be sent in 1-2 days, you can see that the tracking is redirecting you to the international website of post.nl which is also weird: I live in Breda (the Netherlands) and send it to Tilburg which is also in the Netherlands and very close by.

Please check it for me! I want my 675 euro back.

Hi Zhanna,

I'm sorry to hear things went wrong with your order. I can understand that you're not very happy to have to wait for the results of the investigation from our webshop departement. I've checked it for you. My colleague has sended you an e-mail a couple of hours ago that they will refund your order this time.

One of the worst customer services…

One of the worst customer services ever.
I have purchased two shoes (out of other shows I have already purchased there, those which didn’t had any problem to adapt on my feet) and went to the store to show pictures of my feet literally bleeding due to less than 4 hours of use of one of them… I asked to return it (as well as it was the recommendation of the chat service), and the two ladies told me that the shoes are in perfect condition and what is wrong is my feet. HAHAHAHAHA
One of them even told me to go to a shoes repair store to ask for some adjustment on the shoes… but how come? I have 230 euros on trash because of this terrible and not human customer service. I used to purchase very frequently but now I will rethink 1000x before!

Answer;

Tristan, I have already sent the pictures and those details via WhatsApp. Yesterday evening.

I'm sorry to hear the experience you had at our store was not on par with the service you can expect from us, if your feet are bleeding do to a short usage of the shoes i completely understand you expect more and i'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please send us a message via whatsapp at 0621135135 with pictures of the shoes, the receipt/ordernumber and your feet so we can take another look at this for you?

Very bad customer service

Returned my order, did not received any update the following 2 weeks. Via the chat I had to found out that they did not except the return: my account shows that I had 20 days left to return the order and I could create a return form, but according to the returns department it already passed the return period?!

Then I had to contact the customer service again to ask where my parcel went as I did not received any communication/track and trace code. I had to found out via the T&T code that they send it back to the wrong adress (nobody was home so it was delivered to a postal office). The customer service did not want to undertake anything to send the parcel to the correct adress, or compensate me for travelling 40km to the postal office. How presumptuous could you be???

So, if you want to return an item and expect good quality customer service, think again.. you get cheated.

Hi Serginho,

Thank you for your message. How unfortunate that your order was not send to the right address, My apologies for the inconvenience. I am sorry to say that we are not able to change data from an order or cancel an order after it is placed. If the order processed succesfully, we cannot change anything in the system, that is the reason why we could not change another address. Sometimes it succeed to choose a pick-up-point via the track & trace code, so that would be the only option. I am sorry for the situation. If you have any questions about the order, can you please contact us via WhatsApp? Thank you in advance.

Rude

Rude, arrogant, impolite Gucci clerks in de Bijenkorf Amsterdam

I bought a necklace from Gucci in de Bijenkorf and found it to be broken. then I took it to the Bijenkorf Amsterdam shop for repair on July 13th. I was surprised by the rude behavior of the Gucci clerks. The first Chinese male clerk Mr. Chenfei Wang (王晨飞) who received me and he was not very friendly, but very rude. He said that it can be repaired, but I have to pay for the repair fee, including the postage for mailing the necklace to Italy. I am surprised that it is unfair, your Gucci quality problem. The quality of the product caused the broken. How can the customer pay for the repair cost? ? ? I asked the clerk how much money will be, and he said that he didn’t know. The male clerk impatiently asked me if I wanted to repair it. I thought it was very unreasonable! ! The male clerk left impatiently, and a female clerk from Gucci came to me. This lady stood in front of me arrogantly and spoke to me in very fast Dutch. I told the lady to speak slowly, because my Dutch is not very good, and I asked another Chinese colleague of them to help for me to translate, so that we can communicate better, but she denied and is still arrogant and rude. She speaks a lot but I couldn’t follow. I asked the Chinese female clerk next to her why she didn’t translate for me. The Chinese female clerk said that she is very scared of the lady, and the lady didn’t let her to translate for me. The lady finished her words arrogantly and impolitely then left. After she left, she asked the security guard to come me and tell to stand outside the door Gucci store to wait. I was so angry of the Gucci clerks in Bijenkorf Amsterdam, they are too rude, too impolite, and I want to complain for it! Gucci de Bijenkorf Amsterdam, please come out and apologize for compensation!

Bad customer service

Bad customer service! Returned the goods but received only partial refund with no explanation why did that happened? Made several calls and chatted with customer service - they can not explain what happened and no reaction. No customer service contact email address on a website and no way of sending an official claim - just chats and calls and then it goes to neverland! So how do we get this resolved? This is really bad. This is not a way to treat consumers in EU Bijenkorf! If you read this please handle incompletely refunded order 32401121 and order 32401116. They were returned together. Order 32401121 was not refunded and order 32401116 was only partially refunded by some reason!

Customer service online is still…

Customer service online is still totally crap. Trying to activate my privilege member card, visiting first the store where no one told me it needs to be activated in the customer service there as the number is not working. Tried to do it at home as told me in the store just to hear from the online customer service that I need to go to the store to activate this. Wasn't able to register hundreds of euros worth points and had to pay for this crappy card 11.50. What a joke.

Hi,

I'm not sure why you are saying these things because none of them make any sense. A Privilege Member card from de Bijenkorf costs 0,50 cents. Half of that amount goes to charities that support bees.
Also, you can activate the card in your webshop account. None of my colleagues would tell you to go to the store to activate the card. It is true however that you need to activate it within a month. After that it is not possible anymore and you would need to buy a new one in one of our stores.
You don't nééd a Privilege Member card however. You can also let my colleague in the store scan your QR code in your webshop account.

Hope this helps.

Takes no responsibility for contact by supplier

Ordered a product and got notified a supplier would contact me about the delivery. A few hours later the supplier e-mailed: colour of choice not longer available, but I am presented the choice tho choose a different colour. Before I made my choice (within a day), the order is cancelled and refunded by de Bijenkorf. They say all is according to their General Conditions, though they have not waited for my answer on the proposal! According to them, the communication was not with them, so they did all good. No way! The supplier e-mailed me as de Bijenkorf had stated; I still have a purchase agreement with de Bijenkorf, not with the supplier. Biggest problem: I cannot order the alternative colour via de Bijenkorf, so no 100 days return policy. A policy which is even more worth now a different colour is proposed.
