Either the software they use to communicate with customers is extremely flawed, or the people engaged in these communications are shamelessly dishonest.I was told I would be getting a replacement for a damaged knife, and a $25 refund for the absurd hassle of the warranty process. Then I was told, even though I have the emails, that they never agreed to this. Then a lady on the phone agreed with me and said they would reach out. Then I got an email essentially admitting that they had lied to me. When I responded to that email I was told their inbox was full!This is after having to call, several times, just to get them to acknowledge that I had reached out. In this day and age deceptive customer service like this cannot be excused. Zwilling ignores warranty claims, deceives, obfuscates, etc. It's insulting and probably illegal.Business Response

Dear ******,
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns and for giving us the opportunity to respond.
We sincerely regret the frustration and confusion you experienced throughout the handling of this matter, and we truly appreciate your continued patience as we work to make things right.After reviewing our full correspondence, we recognize that our communication with you did not meet the standard we strive to uphold. Specifically, we acknowledge that our initial message indicated a replacement order for your MIYABI Kaizen knife had already been issued, along with a $25 goodwill refund. This understandably led you to expect both a replacement and a partial refund.
However, due to the return of the product to our warehouse, our internal process defaulted to a full refund of the products value, including the previously issued $25. While this decision was made with the intent of resolving the matter fairly and efficiently, we recognize that the execution, especially the communication, fell short, resulting in conflicting and confusing messages.To be clear, there was never any intent to mislead you. This was a breakdown in internal coordination and follow-through, and for that, we are truly sorry. We take full responsibility for the miscommunication.
To fully resolve the matter, we are reissuing a complete refund and sending you a new replacement knife at no additional cost. We will also be reaching out to you via email on our customer service portal with further details.
We hope this gesture helps restore your confidence in our brand. Your feedback has brought important issues to light, and we are actively reviewing our processes to ensure clearer, more consistent communication in the future.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Sincerly,
The Zwilling Team

I originally purchased a knife set - there was a defect in the set, and at the time, the company offered to note a credit on my account. When contacted about this credit recently, they could not find any mention of it, and support via chat has been very choppy on their end (they dropped the thread). Honor the warranty, as initially promised.Business Response

Dear *** ****************** you for bringing this matter to our attention.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and confusion youve experienced while trying to redeem the in-store credit previously offered under your warranty claim. After reviewing both your recent chat history and our archived records, we were able to locate the original correspondence from 2023.
At that time, our team offered a resolution for your defective 17-pc Modernist knife set, which was originally purchased from Bed Bath & Beyond, either a replacement with a comparable 16-pc Modernist set or a $249.99 in-store credit (gift card), with the understanding that once you confirmed your preference, we would proceed accordingly.
It appears the in-store credit was never formally issued, as we did not receive a confirmation on how youd like to proceed. We regret that this was not clearly communicated during your recent follow-up, and we apologize for the inconsistent experience you encountered during the chat.To gain further clarity and ensure we fully understand the situation, we will be reaching out to you directly via email through our customer support portal to gather additional information regarding the knife set and explore how we may assist you further.
We appreciate your patience as we work to better understand and address this matter.

This issue dates back two years, and in order to process compensation, we require the product to be returned. Without the product, images, or proof of damage, we are unable to honor the offer made at that time. If you wished to accept the compensation offered, the decision should have been made two years ago when the matter was first reported. Unfortunately, as the product is no longer available, we can only provide you with a coupon code for a future purchase. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and regret that we were unable to resolve this matter when the product was still in your possession.

In 2008, I purchased a Zwilling knife. Recently, the handle broke, and I submitted a warranty request through Zwillings website. Since the original model was discontinued, Zwilling offered a 7-inch Gourmet knife as a replacement. I asked if I could receive the 7-inch Pro model instead, and a representative confirmed that this would be possible.Based on that agreement, I paid the shipping cost and mailed my original knife back to Zwilling. After more than a month of waiting, I received a 7-inch Tradition knife instead a model that is significantly less expensive and made in a different country. At no point was I informed that the Pro knife was unavailable, nor was I asked to approve the substitution.This was not the model we agreed upon, and I would not have accepted the Tradition knife had I been informed. I feel that Zwilling failed to honor our agreement and acted without transparency, which goes against fair consumer practices.I am requesting one of the following:That Zwilling send me the agreed-upon 7-inch Pro knife; or That Zwilling offer me an alternative of equal or greater value, pending my approval.I believe the current outcome is unfair, and I am seeking a resolution that reflects the original agreement.Business Response

Dear ******
Thank you very much for bringing your concerns to our attention, and for giving us the opportunity to address them.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion you experienced with your Zwilling Pro 20-piece Knife Set, particularly regarding the included components and product labeling.
While the model number is consistent, accessory configurationssuch as the inclusion of the 4-stage sharpenermay vary by retailer. We understand how this may have been unclear, and were truly sorry for the frustration this has caused. To help resolve this, weve arranged for the sharpener to be sent to you under order #*******.With regard to the kitchen shears, please allow us to clarify: our Zwilling knives, bearing the Double Man logo, are proudly made in ******* and reflect our highest standard of craftsmanship. However, to offer a more complete and competitively priced set, accessories like shears, blocks, and honing steels are produced in Zwilling-owned or operated facilities in ****, using premium German stainless steel and held to the same rigorous quality standards. Please rest assured that all of our productsregardless of originare backed by our warranty, including the shears.
We truly value your feedback and will be reaching out to you via our customer service portal to ensure all concerns are fully addressed and resolved to your satisfaction. Thank you again for your support and understanding.

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:You need to do better - while I can understand the confusion on an accessory and can write off the shears as a website misprint there are inconsistencies in the set itself which based upon your response should not be.
Upon deeper review this is actually a little worse than I had originally thought as there are discrepancies with the set itself. As per your website description for this set it should have contained the following as part of the set.
2.75-inch birds beak peeling
7-inch hollow edge santoku
8-inch slicingThese were not included and it seems the following were substituted in.
3paring
5santoku
5.5boningNow the deceptive part - if you look closely at the pictures, they do not match the text of the description of the set!
Upon comparing, its noise 10 bucks here, 10 bucks there etc but something that was very unexpected when making this purchase. The best comparison I can come up with the client experience when buying a ***** vs the experience buying a Mercedes. I guess I went into this thinking I was getting the Mercedes of knives but ended up getting the banged-up Dodge. I spent a lot of time deciding between Cutco, Wustholf and Zwilling and don't have a warm fuzzy feeling. For all I know, these are made in ***** and stamped made in ******** How would anyone know?
As for order number #*******,I was told this was placed however I have not seen any tracking info or received any notification from ************** that I have anything inbound. Its only been about a week that crossed a US holiday so maybe the next few days I will see something.Thanks for hearing me out.

I purchased a 10 piece set of pots and pans on 11/14/2023 that touted a lifetime warranty. In about 1.5 years time of use the pans have gotten to the point of nearly unusable for how bad they stick when cooking and are impossible to clean. I shared the evidence with zwilling and while they initially rejected my warranty for claiming I improperly used the pans, they later confirmed my order is covered for a replacement, but I would be responsible for mailing my set to them, across the country at my own expense. They do not offer alternatives for returning the set to an in person location where I purchased them. The costs for return shipping are nearly half the cost of buying a brand new set, and the company is dismissive of the inconvenience and say they only cover what they have to. The strong nonstick claims and lifetime warranty feel predatory and deceptive when in order to use the warranty you have to spend upwards of $100 to use it. Furthermore, upon looking online I found numerous other accounts of customers feeling the same, saying their warranties were also rejected, the company feels scammy, has terrible customer service, and their warranty feels inaccessible for other people who also purchased their product from their partnering retail locations and now how to foot the cost of paying to return their faulty products via mail at their own expense. I hope for either a refund or replacement set, or at least the company make ammendments to their policy that customers can return their sets to in person locations or be comped the cost to return the defective goods to the company at their expense.Business Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We genuinely value your feedback and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you've encountered with your cookware and the warranty process.
At Zwilling, we stand behind the quality of our products and are committed to ensuring our customers feel supported when things dont go as expected. Please know that your concerns have been heard and are being taken seriously.
To help ease the process and ensure a smoother resolution, we will be providing you with a prepaid return shipping label along with a pre-authorization slip, which will be sent to you shortly via email through our secure customer service portal. Once your return is received and processed, your replacement cookware will be shipped to you at no cost.
To provide some clarity moving forward, our standard warranty policy typically requires customers to cover the cost of returning damaged items to our warehouse. This approach helps ensure consistency across all claims while allowing us to fully cover the cost of the replacement product and shipping. That said, we understand that every situation is unique, and in this instance, were happy to offer additional support to help bring your experience to a more positive conclusion.
We truly regret the inconvenience this has caused and appreciate the opportunity to improve your experience with us. Thank you for choosing Zwilling. We look forward to restoring your confidence in our brand.Warm Regards,

However, I was informed that returns for online orders are not accepted at the store and that I would have to mail the item backcontrary to what is advertised on their website.I reached out to customer service again, requesting one of two reasonable remedies: (1) applying the 15% discount to my original purchase or (2) providing a prepaid return label, especially given that I had already made the unnecessary 35km trip to the store. Once again, both requests were denied. To add to the frustration, I was advised to cancel the online return and to return the item in-store again, even though the store had already refused to accept the return initially.This experience has been frustrating and has wasted my time and efforts. Zwillings handling of this matter has been unsatisfactory, and its inconsistent policies have caused undue inconvenience.I am requesting immediate action.

First of all, I was supposed to get 20% off and 10$ my order. They refuse to honor it even though nowhere does it stats that you cannot use them together!

They want me to sent it back but I'd have to go drop it off at **** I don't have a car and am disabled so i cannot drive it to *** to drop it off. They refuse to schedule a pick up for me.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the issues youve experienced and for the frustration this has caused.
First and foremost, we deeply regret that the Staub Pure White 7-qt Cocotte you received was not up to the high standards we strive to maintain. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment this has caused.
Regarding the 20% discount and the $10 off offer, we understand your concerns. The reason these offers cannot be combined is because the item you purchased was already on sale and discounted. However, we did apply the 20% discount to your order, and you can still use your $10 off coupon for a future purchase. Rest assured, the coupon will not expire, and we encourage you to use it on your next order.
We also deeply regret the difficulties youve encountered with our customer service. Disconnections or delays are never intentional, and we apologize if you felt that our team did not fully address your concerns. We are committed to improving our service, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us achieve that.
We understand the situation regarding the drop-off to **** and we truly sympathize with your challenges due to your disability. We had arranged a pick-up for the Staub 7qt cocotte on February 6th between 9 AM and 8 PM. Upon checking with **** we learned that they did attempt to pick up the package but were unsuccessful for some reason. We will contact you directly on our portal to schedule another *** pick-up time as soon as possible so that you do not need to worry about dropping it off yourself.
Regarding your refund, we will be reaching out to you directly through our portal with clear instructions on the next steps, so you have all the information in one place. We want to make sure this process is as smooth and convenient for you as possible.
We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this matter. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are here to help in any way we can.

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:You guys randomly picked a date and time for *** to come by WITHOUT consulting with me 1st when would be a good day and time. You guys also kept telling me I had to go drop it off, and it was nothing but a headache to get you guys to even agree to sent *** to pick it up. You cannot just schedule something without asking your customer 1st, which is why the pick up was unsuccessful! At this point you guys have caused nothing but stress and anxiety to me having to deal with this. And you guys want to sent me a gift card to buy another one when you guys told me that it is sold out, so there is no need for me to have the gift card. I had to purchase the git card to be able to use my **** gift card, as your system doesn't allow for split payment other than a zwilling gift card and then a bank card.

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:Your system wouldn't allow me to sue my **** card to purchase it, which forced me to have to buy a gift card from zwilling to use it on your website. I have no use for the gift card, so a full refund will need to be issued back to me on my **** card. Since you guys refuse to acknowledge that your team dropped the ball, we will seek legal action at this point.

I ordered knives from this company. They charged my credit card in full but did not give me a tracking number or process information. I did get a confirmation email from them, however with an order number. It is now been 10 days and I have reached out directly to the . They did give me a tracking number three or four days ago, but it leads to nowhere. All it says is processing. Im getting Nowhere with them. I would like my money refunded. It seems that either this is a scam or they are having some internal problems at their company and cannot fulfill orders.Customer Answer

date of transaction: November 22, 2024 amount of money paid: ****** what the business comitted to provide & what the nature of the dispute: I purchased a brand new product without visual or quality imperfection. 7 qt, Round, Cocotte, White Truffle. I purchased a brand new product but they sent a visually and qualitatively imperfected item. I requested for a replacement but the company refunded me without my consent.The problem is that I used a 20% coupon on top of 36% holiday sales adding up to 56%. They refunded me so that I would purchase another one at a full price instead of discounted price that I currently have.whether or not the business has tried to resolve the problem:- I requested a replacement but the item went out of stock.- *********** refused to send me a replacement when the stock come back.- *********** refused to provide me the same pricing when the stock comes back.*********** wanted me to purchase the item again at a full price.They mocked me by pretending to be generous and offering me to take %20 coupon which I should rightfully get back because I used 20% coupon to make this purchase. But they pretended like if this is a compensation for inconvenience.I pointed out that I used 20% coupon so if I were to be compensated, I should get additional 20% coupon that can be used additively. However, the company refused.And then the company provided 30% which has a catch to it. It cannot be used with any discounted items or with another coupon. *********** does sales often greater than 30% and currently the item is on 36% sale. Hence, the coupon they offered cannot be used and it is practically useless.Desired Resolution:Replacement with good quality item without visual and quality imperfection when the item comes back in stock and express shipping or Store credit/coupon of 56% (the same deal I had) or greater and express shipping or Same pricing of the item I purchased when the item comes back in stock and express shippingBusiness Response

In an attempt to resolve the issue, the business contacted me and instead of offering a compensation or sincere resolution alternatives, they attempted to make another sale. They wanted me to buy their unpopular color choice product and get rid of their stock instead of the product I want to buy which is more popular choice. Those are the colors that have been in sale for a long time but not getting sold throughout the holiday season. They offered this and called it a "replacement." This is a mockery.
Please help.

Dear ******** ***
Thank you for your response.
We sincerely regret that you feel this way, and we apologize for any frustration this situation has caused. Our intention was never to make another sale, but rather to provide a resolution based on the options available at this time.
As previously mentioned, the color you originally purchased is currently out of stock, and we do not have an estimated restock date. Given your request for a replacement rather than a refund, we offered an alternative color for the Staub 7qt Cocotte to ensure you receive your item as soon as possible.
Our goal was not to cause any inconvenience but rather to prevent further delays, as we understand this issue has been ongoing for some time.
We will be reaching out to you directly via email to discuss additional options alongside those we have already provided. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we want to do everything we can to make this right.Thank you for your understanding and patience while we work on resolving this matter for you.
