My order was delivered on October 17 and left outside of my home residence. When the box was delivered, it was delivered damaged and had been opened during transit and re-taped. When I open the package, the package was empty and only had the filler paper left inside. I reached out to the company for a replacement or a refund, and I was advised a replacement could not be shipped because the item is no longer available. I was told I would not be refunded and they could not help me which is ridiculous. I provided multiple pictures to them and all proof that they requested and still I was unable to get assistance.Customer response

Hello,
A manager from Coach outlet reach out to me today and indoors could not be resolved. I will not accept a store credit as reimbursement when I never received the item in the first place. Also, there is no option for replacement because it is out of stock. Coach outlet should be doing the right thing and refunding me if they cant produce what I ordered. I spoke with manager ******. She was not helpful at all.
Thank you.

Dear Sirs,
We have received **** ******* BBB complaint regarding a recent order. We are sorry to hear about **** ******* experience with the delivery. *** is Coachs preferred delivery carrier, and we ship our packages via insured and traceable means. However, insurance does not cover stolen packages.
Coach takes pride in its superior level of customer service and values each customer. A replacement offer would have been made if the item had been available.
Regrettably, this item is no longer available,so a merchandise credit was offered instead. Coach is offering $216.66 worth of merchandise credit, even though it was not Coachs responsibility to replace **** ******* stolen package.
It is against Coach policy to provide a refund for a delivered package unless the merchandise is returned. Coach welcomes **** ****** to contact ************* for the merchandise credit.
We look forward to welcoming **** ****** into our stores in the future.Initial Complaint

Hello, I purchased the ****** purse 9/26 order# *********** for $185.48 but I changed my mind on the color and I returned it in order to get the Sienna color. I went to my local Coach outlet store to try to exchange it but they were sold out of the sienna color so therefore they assisted me with returning my purse and ordering the sienna color, but unfortunately the price had gone up so I had to pay the difference. Afterwards I contacted coach to see if my original purchase price of $185.48 can be honored and I was advised on various occasions that yes it can be honored as long as I either call customer care and place a new order or place a new online order myself. On 10/14 I decided to call Coach customer care to assist me with placing an online order, I was on this phone call for ******************************************************* with placing my new order *********** and adjusting the price. She even went as far as adding coach gift wrap to my order for free being that I had never had that service. Fast forward 10/15 I receive and email that my order is cancelled, I am highly upset because the bag shows in stock in the sienna color. I contacted customer service via email who told me that it was cancelled due to my order not being able to be fulfilled. I proceeded to contact customer service the next day via chat to ask if this bag was in fact in stock and to be delivered to me and I was advised yes so therefore I asked them why my order was cancelled if this bag is in fact in stock. I was then advised that it was cancelled due to coach outlet not providing gift wrapping, which again is something the ***resentative added on herself for me without me asking for it. I received a call to place a new order and the call was unpleasant and the *** seemed bothered to help me. At this point I dont even think its worth the hassle to keep this bag. Now Im dealing with a pending charge for a cancelled order and a new order. I want a further discount on this orderBusiness response

purchased 2 bags - received 1 - ORDER NUMBER: #*********** ORDER DATE: OCT 10, 2024i called in to customer service for a resolution to the issue and was told a replacement bag could be sent out but there is no return option when I receive it and if I do return its a courtesy for them to offer me a merchandise credit. A COURTESY to send me the bag I originally ordered and allow me the freedom to choose if I like it enough to keep for the money spent on it and not only that but if I dont like enough to keep I have to choose another COACH bag for the money spent when the error was yours to begin with. CONSUMER TRAP!!!! I'll happily further an email to **** **** as well as submitting any and all formal complaints on COACH and Tapestry **** Do better for yourself as a company - "COACH CARES" BS!! Coach Cares about themselves and keeping all consumer monies possible. Also been on hold for a manager where "managers appear to be in a meeting" and im going on 40 min phone call and about a 12 min wait for a manager at the moment. DO BETTER COACH bc your quality is gone. im still on hold for a manager bc they are all in a meeting so it seems so I have Time to do this while I wait.Business response

Dear Coach ********************* Team,I am writing to demand an immediate full refund for the items I purchased but never received. Your representative and *** both assured me that I would be issued a full refund for the missing package, and yet, I have not received my money back. It is entirely unfair that Coach **** has already received compensation from ***, while I, the customer, am expected to bear the financial loss. This situation is unacceptable, and I expect it to be resolved without delay.I will not accept a replacement item or store credit. I was informed that this process would take weeks, which is why I have already purchased a replacement elsewhere. Offering store credit is not an adequate solution, as I do not shop with Coach **** frequently enough to justify it. My only acceptable resolution is a full refund to my original payment method.As a military spouse with two young children, I do not have the luxury of time or resources to continue this back-and-forth. I expect my refund to be processed immediately, as promised by your representative. If I do not receive a satisfactory resolution within the next 7 days, I will be left with no choice but to escalate this matter further through the following channels: 1. Dispute the charge with my financial institution to recover the full amount paid. 2. Utilize my social media platforms with over 1.7 million followers to share my experience and how poorly Coach **** has handled this situation.This experience has been extremely frustrating, especially given that I have received conflicting information and been led to believe I would be fully refunded. As I have been promised a refund by your representative, I expect you to follow through on that commitment. Failure to resolve this promptly will force me to take further action to ensure this situation is corrected.I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it deserves and restore my confidence in Coach ****Sincerely,****************************Customer response

I received a Coach Gift Card and went to utilize the gift card at the Coach Outlet Store in *******, ** on 8/29/2024. I went to make a purchase with the gift card that had $100 on it and it stated approved on my end, but showed as declined on the store's end. The store said they would call customer service, I proceeded to wait in the store for 30 minutes and the answer I received was that customer service could see that the money came off the gift card, but the store's system was glitching and that I could take the gift card with $.04 remaining with me, but I couldn't take the purse I was attempting to purchase and that someone would be in touch within 1 -3 days on a resolution. I then contacted customer service twice after the 29th and those individuals told me I would receive an e gift card, that never came. They also stated it was a store issue and that they could see money was on the gift card and was taken off on the 29th. I then called **************** on 9/3/24 to file a compliant, they stated someone would be in touch with me within 24 - 72 hours, I never received a call. I then called the store on 9/5/24 and talked with the store manager would told me that they have no resolution and are waiting on an email back before they can do anything. I asked to speak with a district manager and was told that they can't give out their information. The Manager told me they didn't have a resolution and I feel this is unacceptable since it's been over a week where I can't utilize my gift card or make a purchase.Business response

I opted to sign up for marketing messages from ************************** and part of that will be receiving a $20 off off your first $150 or more purchase, it includes the list of exclusions as shown in the screenshot. I was buying a bag, in this case a ***** **, which is not part of the exclusion, and trying to place the one time code and it says Items in your cart are not eligible for code so I went ahead and messaged their customer service and I was informed that ALL Tabby products are excluded from any promos or discounts. This is the problem. if it all Tabbys are excluded why is it not explicitly mentioned in the campaign? Why only place specific Tabbys as shown in the screenshot? This is false advertisement and I think that i deserve to get the promised discount as advertised.Business response

Hello,I purchased a pair of shoes in April. However, I just started wearing the them. The left shoe squeaks (it has a popping sound). I do not always wear my shoes, clothing or accessories right away. I called Cust Serv, spoke to a *** and she advised me of the return policy. The *** also suggested that I take the shoes to a ***air shop. Again, I did not wear the shoes within (30) days. I requested to speak to a manager. ***** was the manager that I spoke with. She also informed me of the return policy and suggested that I do maintenance on the shoe. I just received a pair of shoes that I ordered from Coach and waiting on the Handbag. The shoes are a 2nd pair in a different color from a previous order. I would like a satisfactory resolution to this issue before making any decision to place any additional orders and/or return the items mentioned above. I really like the shoes, but there is an obvious DEFECT! Please advise and Thank You!!I also sent this statement to ********* and **** responded with a long story, basically reiterated the return policy and to put 'powder' in the shoe under the insole, amongst other information. I am not HAPPY with these shoes, at all.Business response
