Returns
September 28, 2022

I received a defective purse and returned it. The receipt had options for returning items, one of which was the USPS as long as it is insured. It was. They WILL NOT return your cost of shipping if you don't use their return label which I did not receive. Their product was damaged. They owe it. It's not the money, it's the "policy" and attitude. I wanted to have it REPLACED, but they couldn't do that either for some reason.

I have a very similar experience to all of the other reviews. I made a purchase and return, both in the month of January. It is now March 22nd and I still do not have my money. I have called several times, emailed customer service and made a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The next step is disputing the charge with my bank. I am so disappointed because their products are lovely but the customer service is just not worth it. During these calls, after finally reaching someone, I was transferred to another department only for the call to drop after about 20 minutes. I will continue to call everyday until the money is refunded. It's such a shame because their purses are beautiful. Spend your money elsewhere.

Horrible purchase
September 30, 2021

I purchased s bag from dooney,&, bourke I didn't take the bag out of the packaging to examine it right away,. When I did take it out to use the strap was broken and the leather around the strap looked like it had been rubbing up against something. Now they want me to pay to have it shipped back even though it came defected. The customer service horrible. They will never get another dime from me. If you see this Style number don't purchase because it's cheaply made (B2DBM3264BLBL)

Leather satchel bag
January 20, 2023

I ordered a midnight blue zip zip satchel bag October 2022, about two weeks ago I noticed that the bottom leather trim which is like a light brown color is getting discolored, almost white, I got in touch with the Dooney and Bourke customer service to see if I can get it fixed or replaced, the answer that I got is that there is nothing they can do about it because that is wear and tear, the bag is only three months old and I do take good care of my bags, especially if they are expensive. Right know I am stuck with it, in a few
More months I probably won't be able to use it anymore. I will never buy or recommend Dooney &Bourke... I will give them 0 stars...they suck.

I placed an order for a handbag this morning and got a great deal. Probably a screw up on their end … they canceled it and claimed it was my credit card... would not honor the price and the customer service person became rude when I suggested they should honor their mistake... very upset at how they treat "loyal" customers... especially when the mistake is on their end...

I sent my bag back for a fix (at the cost of $25.20), and the company kept my purse, refunded my purchase price and wouldn't let me have it back or buy it back at the sale price I bought it at. So not only did I lose my purse for a very simple fix, but I am now out $25.20 that it cost to ship it to me. After many rounds with an unyielding customer service, I am done.

Dooney Pay
June 15, 2021

Purchased a purse and wallet January 2021 on Dooney Pay. They took the initial payment, somehow reversed the payment, never took the installment payments per agreement, now months later they proceed to take all the payments at once. Call customer service all they could tell me was that it was a system error, and it was nothing they could do. Dooney sent no notifications at all that my account would be debted for multiple payments. I will never purchase from them again!

I ordered a white tote from them on July 29,2023 and they sent me a beige or off white purse that they tore the tag off playing switcharoo. I immediately returned it still wrapped in packaging before 30 days and they are still trying to charge me $10 for shipping contradicting the return policy. This is how they are stealing from people with the $10 shipping scam when they know they are sending items that are incorrect. You can't understand what the reps are saying, and it is poor customer service as they are liars as well. I tried to email them about the return, and they blocked my email and kicked it back 3 times. Customer service of course denied it saying I sent it to the wrong place. Of course, this company must be going to the dogs, but they don't need to try to take customers with them. I am always in favor of joining a class action lawsuit about these deceptive practices. They need to refund me in full or I will check in on this lawsuit and stop ordering things from them. Dirtbags. Please do not order from this company!

I Reurned a Bag that D&B received back on Jan. 6 2021. I have written over seven emails, submitted 10 customer complaints on their site. Received 5 replays back assuring my refund. The last was over 3 weeks ago stating that the refund was issued, and would be in my account in 2 to 3 days. It is Feb. 14th still no credit to my account.

On 1/9/23 I ordered a Boston Red Sox crossbody, upon arrival it had the Red Sox one the front & Texas Rangers on the back. Customer service has been horrible! They will not replace the bag and expect me to pay $9.50 to ship it back! I rate their customer service as a zero!

Lack of customer service
December 27, 2021

I bought my 3rd Dooney just before Christmas. There was a sale and guaranteed delivery by 12/24/21. I was so excited. So I get the purse and wallet I ordered but when I did the zipper on the purse does not work. I reached out to Customer Service and was told I could return the purse then order it again as they do not exchange. I explained I wanted the purse and if I did that, I would have to pay more as it is no longer on sale. The only other option was to pay to ship it to Connecticut for repair with no guarantee it would be repaired, how long it would take, or what would be done if it was lost. I was very disappointed that they did not care at all a defective product was sent. I will no longer be ordering and will find a new brand that values the customers they have.

Bad customer experience
December 23, 2022

Placed an order over Thanksgiving weekend. Three days after that I got an email saying that an item was out of stock and that my order was being canceled. Didn't see that status when I looked up my order online so called customer support. They told me it was an error and that my order was still good. I got an email two days later telling me my order was still good. 10 days before Christmas. I got another email telling me my order is now canceled. Look online no change in status. Call them up and they confirm. My order is canceled. They sent me a 20% off discount coupon that was usable on anything I tried to order. Very very very poor customer experience and apparently no inventory management systems on their side.

They Canceled my order
December 22, 2021

I had purchased a bag for my wife that was supposed to arrive before Christmas and when I kept checking the status of my order it kept saying that it was placed. Four days later I checked again and that was just in placed status so I went online to chat and they told me that my order had been canceled due to credit card billing information being incorrect. I never got an email or any sort of information of my order being canceled and even when I checked online and never said canceled so now I am stuck with no bag for my wife for Christmas and the chat service was the worst I have ever experienced. All I got was short explanation and no real answer to why I was never contacted that my order was canceled. Will never order online from here again.

Never again
October 7, 2021

I bought a bag and returned it the same day I got it b/c I hated the bag. It's been over a month and I have called 4 times because I never got my refund. They have told me everything from it's on my banks end to it had to be canceled and refunded again. They even asked me to call my bank which I did 3 times and the bank said nothing is coming through and it was not on the banks end. A manager told me they would call me back and twice no one called me back. The last call I was told that I needed to call my bank and report the charge as fraudulent, which is dishonest and of course my bank won't do.

The purse was delivered today. The box was completely destroyed, the purse is damaged with folds and creases all through the leather, and the packaging was poor without protective material around the purse. The purse was put in a cardboard box and nothing else. Your customer service was contacted and they were rude and unhelpful. They said all they could do was send a return label and that we would have to order the purse again. Then we were told that we wouldn't even get a refund until the damaged purse was received and inspected. What is needing to be inspected - we are notifying you because it is damaged. Now the price is different than when it was originally purchased and again your customer service says there is nothing they can do. Obviously we will NEVER purchase any of your products in the future. When you try to email customer service, they have an "error" on their site and it cannot be submitted and it limits you to about 5 sentences. Awful company and awful customer service - stay away.

Very Disappointed
July 28, 2021

I ordered a wristlet and purse on July 10th. The website said my order would ship in 3 to 4 days. On July 17th I received my wristlet only. I went on to the website and it said my purse was back ordered. When I ordered it it did not say that. I waited about 4 days and called. I was told by the rep that they are not sure why i did not receive that the item is not on back order. The told me they would put a work order in to see what was going on and that I would here something in 24 hrs. A week later and still nothing. I contacted again yesterday and they told me to be patient that there is an order already and someone would contact me. Very frustrating! I understand if when I ordered they told me it was on back order. I would have not ordered. But nothing was said and the reps are no help. Meanwhile I still know nothing about my purse.

Worst customer service I have ever seen, or dealt with. No regard to the fact that I paid $300 plus dollars for the bag, but their forms are very misleading. I will never buy Dooney&Bourke again!
