Very Poort Fitting of Watch Strap for Tissot Chronograph

I bought a new Tissot leather watch strap from the branch - but later saw it was 20mm not the standard 22mm for Tissot. As I live overseas I could not go back - I wasted 26 pounds and I am very disappointed about this - I could have sent the watch strap by post, with receipt, but the branch took no initiative. The watch fell off when I was teaching the strap is so badly fitting. I can not recommend the fitting nor the lack of initiative to resolve the issue.

Poor after sales customer service.

Visited the store today to collect an item which had been repaired. I was obviously upset that the gold chain recently bought had broken but the attitude of the two sales assistants was very dismissive and not very understanding. i will not be using this branch again and have advised my husband not to use also.
Having bought things over the years at times in H Samuel and never had a problem I feel some training in customer service is needed in Chichester.

Terrible experience The website states no appointment…

The website states no appointment required for ear piercing. To be sure I attempted to speak to staff before driving from Worthing to Chichester, 3 times I called for several minutes each time but got no answer. I then called the Worthing branch to enquire they were open for ear piercings they assured me yes. So I drove there with my daughter & on arrival the staff where so unhelpful telling me to come back tomorrow despite the shop being empty. When I queried the no appointment required she shrugged and said not possible, It was appalling. We left very disappointed. Fortunately Claire’s opposite were fantastic. My daughter now has her earrings but the poor customer service from H Samuel Chichester was utterly shocking and unacceptable this ruined the experience for us today. Your website needs updating regarding booking appointments and perhaps someone should be answering the phone in store.

Hello Joanna,

Thank you for taking the time to write this review and provide us with this feedback on your experience in store.

I am so sorry for the service you have had in store, this is not good enough.

I have had a look and yes it does say no appointment needed, the only reason I could think, to the reason why you were told to go back the next day was because there was no qualified ear piecing staff in store that day. However I understand the frustration that you could not get through to the store to discuss this.

I will pass all this helpful feedback to the stores manager and the I.T department to look at improving the services in the future.

I hope your daughter loves the ear piecing and thank you again for your time.

Kind regards
Luke

I had a battery fitted in my Sekonda gold coloured watch that I bought from your store a couple of years ago and whilst waiting I bought another Sekonda watch in a silver colour because I was so pleased with the first one.

The two ladies in your Chichester branch were as usual very helpful indeed and I came away a very happy customer.

Poor customer interaction by staff at Chichester Store

I personally didn’t find the staff at the Chichester branch either very helpful or very friendly x we were buying earrings for my daughter to wear on her wedding day and tbh the staff were in need of some customer relations training. they were offhand and disinterested and we were the only customers in the store.
