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.

The service is awful

The service is awful. I tried to order a leather jacket and sunglasses and the website would not allow me to pay, it just did not work. I tried many times at a different time. I called on the service line and a man, tiredly and without any willingness to help, listened and then hung up!
Absolutely awful. I had the same issue with payment about a month ago when tried to pay with a gift card and a bank card at the same time.

Hi Anastasiya,

I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble finishing your order twice.
I could not find any information about you contacting us so I can not comment on that part.
I'd like to advice you to call back if the connection is broken or try to contact us in another way: www.debijenkorf.nl.
Some general advice I can give you is to use a computer or laptop with Google Chrome or Firefox and to clear your cookies et cetera first. Also, you can not pay for an order with books and/our cadeaucards with a giftcard. Sometimes it can also be useful to contact your bank or creditcard company to check if there are any issues on that end.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,

No shipment info, no customer service

Bought some kitchenware that wasn't cheap. I'm still waiting for shipment confirmation and track & trace code passed the day of supposed delivery. No one's there to answer the customer service chat on their website despite my waiting for 10 minutes as n°1 in the queue. Creating an account didn't help as the site can't link me to a pre-existing order. 2 stars because I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Hi Alexis,

I'm sorry to hear that the delivery of your order seems to be delayed.
You can contact us with your question, ordernumber & e-mailaddress at these channels: www.debijenkorf.nl/contact. It is correct that we are very busy though, because this is always a busy period for us and even more so time because of the lockdown.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Extremely disappointed, don’t buy

Extremely disappointed with their customer service and the quality of their website. I bought a Mn Aesop hand soap which is €30, so not a cheap hand soap, normally I buy it from the Aesop website, but this time I gave Bijenkorf a try. However the hand soap arrives without the pump, in the description of the website it did not say anything about not coming with the pump. Today I gave them a call, after waiting 15 minutes on the line to get someone to talk to me, the answer was “you can buy a different article that comes with a pump and keep that one as a refill“. What kind of service is this ???????? the only thing that I asked was to send me a pump so I can actually use a hand soap!!!!!!!... After trying to explain the situation over and over again, the person on the line suggested me to go to a different store find a pump that can fits into the container and use it. Without any solution. Not buying there anything ever again.

Hi Diego,

I've looked it up because I remember this complaint.
It is pretty clear on the webshop that the hand soap does not come with a pump.

Horrible shipment of breakable goods

Ordered a teapot with cups from different sets. The teapot was well protected in its original packaging, but the cups were loosely placed in the box without any material to protect it from breaking. Was expecting so much more from this well known expensive warehouse

Hi Felicia,

I'm sorry to hear that you received some broken items because of a mistake with the protective packaging in the box. I assume you have already contacted our webshop about it and either received new items or your money back. But otherwise please contact us about it, for example on Whatsapp (0621135135) or the chat. Please also send your ordernumber and e-mailaddress and photo's of the damaged items. We will do what we can for you.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

An excellent site for some shopping

An excellent site for some shopping , they do have a range of different brands and categories, I loved my experience there as the shipping was so quick and items are so accurate to what was described. I would only recommend if they ship internationally.

Still no reimbursement for cancelled order…

Placed an order which was partly paid with a gift card and partly paid with PayPal.
For some reason my order could not be processed (and item was out of stock ). Got a new gift card for the amount paid with the giftcard but never got reimbursement for the amount paid with PayPal. Trying to claim reimbursement for 2 weeks now... Today finally an email.. saying that they have no record of the payment... (sent them screenshots and confirmation of the payment). hope I will get my money back one day...

DELAYED DELIVERY...

Had an order already Monday and wrote down “Please” it must be delivered on Friday

On Friday I get the message that the package is delayed for four days?! That’s not the customer value what should be given...

Hi Süleyman,

I'm sorry to hear your order was delayed. Unfortunately it is a very busy time and this can happen.
There is no room for extra notes while ordering something so I don't know where you wrote this down but the webshop nor the package delivery person will see it or be able to do something with it.

Great experience

So far I haven't had any issues. Each time the order arrived on time, everything was wonderfully packed, with a return label already attached for a simplified return process. The prices are more or less the same as with other luxury retailers, but they do have decent deals every season. The selection of brands is very good too. Most definitely would order again.

Great service..... but!

I recently made a purchase and sadly it did not fit. But returning it was very easy and the refund was back in account within days if the return package being received. So overall, the service was excellent and the representative that assisted me with it before I made the purchase was fantastic. One issue: postNL’s handling of the returned package. It took them days to update the system and I could not track the package.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that it took PostNL a few days to update the delivery information.
In busy times like this that can happen unfortunately. We do not have insight in or influence on that however.
Great to hear that the return itself went well though! Thank you for your feedback.

package not delivered and poor customer service

I ordered on bijenkorf and a package was supposed to be delivered to my home. When the shipment didn't arrive their effort to resolve the issue was very poor and the customer service was not helpful. After 5 weeks my issue is still not resolved. Next time I'll take my business to Amazon.

Unbelievable bad customer service

Unbelievable bad customer service. I always liked shopping at the bijenkorf, but I just called them to ask if my points would be booked back if I needed to return my purchase..and the guy on the phone was just..rude. I also waited 55 minutes to get him on the phone.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear you did not like your contact with de Bijenkorf about your de Bijenkorf points. It is also very busy at the moment, that is correct. This is traditionally a busy time but because of the current lockdown even more so.
To answer your question: if you return something you bought with those points you will get them back and they are valid for another 3 years again. The points you earned with the purchase will also be taken from the total amount of points again though.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Don't recommend

High prices, bad customer service and dishonest practises.

They never ever deliver on time. The track n trace link arrives on the day it was supposed to be delivered. Just pathetic.

Hi,

My apologies that you have such bad experiences with our service and webshop.
I must disagree on the 'never ever delivered on time' however as most of our packages are delivered on time by our delivery partners. Of course that does not change your experiences.

Also it is normal to receive the track & trace code on the day or evening before the delivery is scheduled. The delivery partner does not make one until they have received and processed the package, which is usually the day before the delivery is scheduled. If you order with a webshop account you can follow the delivery there too.

Our apologies for the inconvenience. Please do send us a message if there is anything we can still help you with.

Quick and good service

The product was not correctly delivered (mistake of postnl), but after contacting the customer service of de bijenkorf, they quickly helped me and offered a good solution.

Very happy with the quick and good service.

SHAMEFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A SO CALLED HIGH END DEPARTMENT STORE

I should come here first before ordering from DeBijenkofrf!

Unlike other people here I've ordered quite inexpensive items from their website - two pairs of glassware sets. The items arrived in a simple carton box, without any FRAGILE mark or any bubble wrap, as a result one glass was broken. I'm so lucky just ONE. I've contacted customer service immediately, nervously checking if the item still available - there were plenty of them. The customer service asked to send them pictures of a broken item, which I did (even with video). It took them 4 full days of meaningless emails pin-pong until they told me that item is finally unavailable and they can give me pitiful 15 eur discount on my NEXT purchase. In case I feel lucky, DeBijenkorf? Horrible experience. Such a small thing (a set of glassware for 21 eur) against the reputation of huge corporation and couldn't find any other "solution" to keep me as a client. Pathetic.

So let me start by saying that I don't recommend De Bijenkorf

So let me start by saying that I don't even want to rate it one star, because frankly they don't deserve a thing. I ordered a pair of Gucci sunglasses and one week later what arrives at my house is a Fossil smartwatch. When I try to complain them over all 3 ways - whatsapp, call and email, the response I get it 'we will check with warehouse'...ending with 'please go to post office and return the watch in order to have the refund'. It's the time of COVID and I am damn scared of it. I havent been going to any public place because of it and you expect me to go to one for your mistake and risk my health? and to hold back my refund and not send the delivery person home to collect the order? This unfortunate service after you pay a hefty amount for the article. Unbelievable.

Hi Mateusz,

Brands/suppliers don't usually send stuff like that along with the products, to our webshop.
If you want the complete package the best thing to do is to come to our shops, if the product is available of course.

It can't be any worse

It can't be any worse! Useless and incompetent customer service . They can even cancel an order which has been submitted within an hour during the weekend! Amazon can cancel orders submitted any time and they have a much more reliable customer service!

So their customer service claims orders can't be canceled after 15 minutes of being placed because they want to ship as soon as possible, but ironically the shippment according to UPS has been handed over very late and therefore will be delayed indefinitely! How about this hypocrisy Bijenkorf???? They want to book the money asap and that's all! They don't care about anything else!

Hi Valdi,

Because we want to delivery all packages as soon as possible we can not cancel orders after about 10 to 15 minutes after they are placed. We also can not send someone over to check thousands of packages just for that one.
You can refuse to accept it at the door or return it free of charge in our shops or with Postnl & DHL (within The Netherlands).

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

I made the online order by Bijenkorf

I made the online order by Bijenkorf. In meantime I realized that my order will be delivered at my old address. Immediately I call Bijenkorf service to find out it is possible to do this. The clerk told me that is impossible to change or cancel the status of the order, but as soon as I receive tracking number to call the shipping company and ask them to change the delivery address, or if they can deliver to pickup place. After I call shipping company they told me that this is impossible doe to the data privacy regulation. According to shipping company Bijenkorf has to order them to do this, because they are not allowed. Those employees together with their boss should be fired on the spot. Shame for the company such as Bijenkorf.

Hi Sany,

With the trackinginformation you can usually change the address to a pickup point yourself, if you are quick enough. Just follow the link to the site or type the information in yourself. There is no need to call the delivery company for this.
