We handed in a bracelet for repairs at Pandoras Loch Logan Waterfront Bloemfontein on 30 December 2025. We gave clear instructions that we should be called with a quote before repairs are done. I visited the store today (20 January 2026) to find out why no one has called us afyer so long. The staff are rude and not at all helpfull. They just said that they will call them. I asked them to do it now as I am not from Bloenfontein. Their answer is that they cant. Do they not have a phone or are they just caught in their ****?

I bought a charm bracelet and as part of the offer I received a free bangle. Both pieces were fit with the same if not identical clasp. From the moment I bought the charm bracelet I was unable to comfortably wear it as the clasp kept opening resulting in the bracelet falling off, thankfully I could locate the bracelet each time. Since I live in the rural area more than 100kms from my closest store I did not have the opportunity to return the bracelet within the warranty period - a warranty period I was completely unaware of. A month or so ago I visited the Tyger Valley Store to buy some charms and at the same time enquired about the clasp as I was coincidentally wearing it on this day. The Store Assistant confirmed that they would be able to send the bracelet for repairs which they did only to learn that the clasp is apparently too worn beyond repair. The bangle that I got with the bracelet I wear every single day without fail and at times put it on and off up to 4 times a day. This clasp is still good as new with absolutely no issues. If the bracelet was worn 3/4 times a year since I got it would be a lot since I never wore it as a result of the faulty clasp. Since the bangle’s clasp is still good as new the only reasonable answer would be that I was sold an old faulty bracelet to begin with. As compromise Pandora is willing to sell me a new charm bracelet (surprise surprise) at a 15% discount. However ‘since they do not like to carry 2025 issues into 2026’ (I quote verbatim) I need to purchase the bracelet before the end of December 2025 to qualify for the discount. How is it fair that a faulty bracelet was sold to me to begin with, and now Pandora’s attempt at being gracious results in them shifting their administrative burden onto me the Consumer. Is it not the Store / Retailer’s responsibility to ensure that correct quality items are sold - or are quality standards completely absent in store’s value proposition? Perhaps think twice before spoiling someone special it may just lead to major disappointment.

I ordered an item online on 29 Nov. I received a package on 5 December. It turned out to be someone else's order. I immediately sent an email to notify them. No response. On 9 December I phoned a number and got hold of a person named Kaira Chetty who informed me they will investigate and collect the item. To date nothing has happened and I have sent follow up emails with no response. Pathetic. They owe me R2000

Poor service! Placed an online order 2 weeks ago, and up to date no sign of any delivery. Unable to enquire about my order, as there is just no answer at the customer helpline. After numerous emails and calls, I am wondering if this company still exists.

I would like to recommend to Pandora South Africa to look into their customer service. For the second time I have made an online purchase, paid, received confirmation of order and payment only for my order to be cancelled on my online profile. I have tried calling countless times as well as many emails. I went as far as to try contact Pandora on Instagram to no avail. This is truly unacceptable for such a big brand. I admire their work and jewellery but the way they treat their customers is of the lowest standards. They have lost a customer.

My daughter has bought a set of earings from Pandora for me and it has tarnished in less then a month. We have emailed them a week ago and I also send a message on facebook but have received no reply from them till today. We assumed we received good quality jewellery, but im really disappointed. The women behind the counter in Eastrand mall is also not very helpful.

5 out of 5! I experienced problems placing my order on the online store, dropped Pandora a mail and within minutes someone contacted me and assisted Even with their help, I could not process the payment on their online store, the lady I dealt with via email, created the payment link and sent to me to make final payment and packaged and shipped my order immediately. I was incredibly happy with the service levels received.

On 02 June 2025, I purchased a Pandora snake bracelet and safety chain at Pandora V&A Waterfront and requested a valid tax invoice to claim VAT. The store could not provide the document, and VRA at the airport advised me to obtain it for a postal claim. Since 12 June, despite submitting multiple portal requests, emailing za.online@pandorastores.net, phoning the call centre (where the manager promised to escalate), and lodging a formal complaint via estore-us@pandora.net, I have still not received the required invoice. As a loyal customer, I must caution others: if you intend to claim VAT on purchases over R5,000, you may face significant challenges obtaining the necessary documentation.
