  I placed an order on Hermes website on Aug 16th for a Super Silk Quest scarf 90 (Order # **********). According to shipping information provided by Hermes, the package was sent through ***** ground and delivered on Aug 17th 8/17/23 at 12:36 PM (Signed by: *****, which is not my name). I did not receive any ***** call on Aug 17th. On Aug 17th around 1:30pm, I saw the package got delivered information on ***** website, and then went downstairs to check the package. The package was not there. I went to check on 8/18/2023 and package still was not there. I waited for couple more days and still did not receive the package then I called Hermes telling them the package was lost. Hermes insisted the package got delivered and asked me to call credit card company to dispute. I disputed with my credit card company but Hermes contacted the credit card company by showing so-called "delivery evidence". Hermes provided the credit card company a copy of the signature of people who signed the ***** package, however the signature was totally removed before they submit to the credit company, i.e. no signature can be seen from the evidence. Given the so called evidence without a copy of signature, credit card company rebilled me. I reopened the case with credit company and requested Hermes to provide a clear signature of who signed the package. It was not my signature any way. I also asked the property management company to pull the camera footage, and the property manager confirmed that no one signed that package that day ( email conversation attached). Conclusion: the package was stolen and did not reach my building at all.

  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:

  I have evidence showing the package was not delivered to my building on Aug 17th. My building property manager confirmed that no one signed that package during the time period provided by ****** Hermes failed to provide the signature who signed the package to my credit card company. Because hermes clearly know the signature won't matched mine. I have provided the signature on the back of my credit card to my credit card company dispute department. 

  I reached out to hermes couple days later on Aug 24. I waited couple days to confirm with property  management company  that the package did get lost. Hermes customer service was very unprofessional and rude and claimed that the package was delivered and refused to offer a solution to me. The customer service asked me to file credit card dispute and I did. 

  I am surprised to see how unprofessional hermes handled the case and refused to admit its responsibility for lost package.

We have attempted to contact the client to advise them of this.  However, we were unable to reach them. We recommend the client contact HermsJewelry for their order on their site.

  I returned a card holder to Hermes.com, for a refund. On May 9, they emailed stating they had received the item and would refund me soon. Today, a week later with still no refund, I called and spoke to a manager named ****. She first lied and said they had never received my item, despite me stating I had an email from Hermes stating they, indeed, did receive it. Then, she said the item had "extensive damage" and that my refund was refused. These are both lies. The card holder is in perfect, unused condition and I need to be refunded immediately!

We were unable to cancel the order, however we informed the client we would request that ***** return the package to our warehouse so that we may refund the client. The client contacted ** on April 7th,2023, stating that they would like the package to be delivered to them. We received the item from ***** on April 11th, 2023 and reshipped the item to the client on April 14th, 2023. The item was successfully delivered to the client on April 17th, 2023. The client then initiated a return on May 3rd, 2023. We received the return on May 9th,2023. The cardholder that was returned to ** was not in original, unused condition, therefore we have sent the returned cardholder back to the client.We have spoken to the client about their return and have come a resolution. We remain available should the client have any further questions.

  I placed an order and the order was shipped via ****** I got an e-mail stating it was delivered and signed for by someone other than me. I talked with the customer service rep ********* She was apologetic but nothing else. I am crying on the phone about my missing package and being out $300...and she says there is nothing she can do. It was delivered to a HOUSE from the picture, with two boxes and I only ordered one thing. This package was going to my business which is a school and not a house. They offered zero rectification or help. This was my first experience ordering from them and will surely be my last. Their customer service is horrible and now I am out over $300 and have no shoes that I paid for. The picture clearly shows they were not delivered to me...also, says ********* and the address is in Parma. They could not offer me anything... another pair of shoes, a credit...nothing. Terrible customer service and way to do business. No wonder they have such horrible reviews online and so many people saying they are scammed when ordering from them. I believe all of those stories, now. This is TERRIBLE.

  Order #**********, and Order #********** was purchased on December 6,2022. Transactions were posted on 12/07/2022 in ********** statement. Each order worth $1212.19. I used ***** prepaid return labels (free return labels which were provided by Hermes) to return both of the orders on 12/27/2022, but both of them were lost by *****. I called Hermes to report both lost packages, they rejected one. So I called Chase to open both disputes. Hermes contacted me on 01/18/2023 let me close one dispute and wait for 30 days, then refund me later. I trust Hermes, and called Chase to close one dispute on 01/18/2023. ***** said I can reopen the dispute if I didnt receive the refund. However, I the past 4 months, Hermes said they cant see the dispute is closed, and they never received the money from Chase. But ***** said the closed it and money $1212.19 was sent to Hermes between 01/27-01/29/2023. ***** was not available to reopen the dispute and cant find my money back. ***** let me find Hermes to get refund. And Hermes let me call Chase to get refund. 4 months passed, I have called both of companies and emailed them many times. They gave me the same answers. Please help me figure out what I should do to get my money back. Thank you so much for your patience.

  The client placed 2 orders on December 6th, 2022.Both orders were for cardholders. The client stated that they returned both of them on December 25th, 2022. One return was lost in transit. The other return was received by our warehouse, but only included the decorative ribbon that is sent on our packaging and did not include the card holder that the client purchased. The client opened a chargeback on each of these orders.We responded to the chargebacks and stated that the credits are due to the client for both disputes. Our records indicate that Hermes.com has now lost both chargebacks and that the funds are being issued to the client through their financial institution. If there are any questions or concerns, our Client Relations team is delighted to assist at ************** or by email at **************************************

  Hermes called me closed the dispute and refund me after closing the dispute. My credit card bank sent 3 letters to notice me the dispute was closed and money $1212.19 was sent to Hermes. And I also have been rebill by *****, you can find in my statement. However, after closing, Hermes just repeated the same response and said they did not receive this fund, let me reopen the dispute. That was impossible. ***** was not able to reopen the dispute because money was already sent to Hermes account. I believe ********************** just do not want to refund me. 
  To Hermes:

  I understand that mistakes can happen, and I am willing to work with you to find a satisfactory solution. However, it is essential to note that the delay in providing the refund has caused me significant inconvenience and financial burden. Therefore, I expect to receive a prompt response addressing this matter, along with a clear plan of action to rectify the situation and refund the outstanding amount.
  If necessary, I am prepared to explore alternative avenues for resolving this dispute, including escalating the matter further with relevant consumer protection agencies and small claim court. Nonetheless, I believe it is in both our best interests to resolve this matter amicably and promptly.
  I have enclosed copies of all relevant documentation, including the return labels, emails, and communication records, for your reference. I kindly request that you review this information thoroughly and take the appropriate steps to rectify the situation promptly. I trust that you will uphold the values of your esteemed brand and demonstrate your commitment to customer satisfaction.
  I look forward to a swift and satisfactory resolution to this matter. I appreciate your attention to my concerns and await your response within [reasonable timeframe]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Our records indicate that Hermes.com has now lost both chargebacks and that the funds are being issued to the client through their financial institution. Additionally, our accounting team as well as our payment service provider has confirmed that the dispute was lost by Hermes.com and that we no longer have the funds from these orders. We had advised the client of this and encouraged them to speak with their financial institution. We remain available should the client have any questions regarding this order.

  On June 26th, I spoke to the Hermes and was able to participate in a 3 way call with the financial institution *********** Chase bank have opened an internal investigation and will be updating me on the findings within 10 business days. I called Chase on July 12th, ***** had finished the investigation and confirmed that fund was sent to the Merchant Hermes. If Hermes had problem with local the fund, ***** would like to start another review to help Hermes, if necessary. 

   

  As I said, Hermes should work hard to find the fund and refund me as soon as possible. Once the fund was sent to Hermes, Chase could not know which payment processing platform Hermes use, especially Hermes uses Audien (I guess I spell it correctly). Is Audien a foreign payment processing company? 
  Hermes should contact your payment processing company or your bank to local the fund. Only Hermes can do this, that is the problem with you and your bank or Audien. ***** and I have tried everything we can do. Now I just need to ask refund from Hermes. Or I have to file a small business court action to get my money back. 
  

  Thank you very much for your understanding.

  I should learn my ****** with this company. The stores always treat me well however the on-line store has terrible customer service. I ordered a bangle for my wife's birthday and it was the wrong size. I filled out the return information on the website and received an automated response that they would respond shortly with the return number and information to exchange the product. I sent a reminder with the reference number they asked me to use 7 days after the initial inquiry. Still nothing for the last 12 days. Please help me as I do not have a local store to go to and try to exchange for the proper size! I need a return authorization number and an address to send the product back for exchange.
