Anyone else had issues with Fossil????

Ordered some bags and jewellery at the end of November. Received email that some items were cancelled, as out of stock, and was offered a 15% discount as an apology. Everything else went fine and was charged for the items I received.

Then the end of December Fossil takes 3 payments for odd amounts and I'd not ordered anything else! I've spoken to them NINE times, used their online issue form. Still not resolved and they can't tell me what the payments were for. It's an overseas call centre, so theres already a bit of a language barrier. Apparently it needs to be dealt with by the finance department but I can't be put through, All they can do is email finance for me. I've been told I'm going to be refunded but this never happens and the next time I call they claim to have no evidence I've called before. I even have a case number which you guessed it, isn't recognised when I call again. I wondered if they'd charged me for the cancelled items, but the amounts don't tally with the amounts on the email.

What do I do? I want my money back. One advisor did say they currently have an ongoing refund issue in the UK that they are working on. Can anyone help please or share your experiences with Fossil customer service (or lack there of!)

That’s awful. How are they taking the money @XmasShoppingsister ? Did you save your cc details on the site?

I would contact your cc company and report it and also stop the card, in case Fossil’s system has been compromised in some way.

Good luck.

Yes - I bought a watch from them which was faulty. It took me a couple of months before I got it sorted and I ended up paying for the return because their customer service was so terrible. I will never buy from them again.

Hi @Dee1224 Thanks for replying.
They charged my debit card and yes I did save my details, I hadn't thought about that, will delete them now, thankyou
I did contact my bank this evening and they said it sounds more like a dispute than fraud and told me to call back during working hours. But had really hoped Fossil could just resolve it. But I think you are right I'm going to have to go through my bank as am getting nowhere with Fossil themselves.

Oh my goodness @RainBow725 a couple of months??? That's awful. Thanks for sharing with me. There's definitely huge issues with their customer services.

Good luck with your bank today, @XmasShoppingsister - I would ask them to send you a replacement card, but it would be worth asking if doing so would affect any refunds. I know it doesn’t affect a refund if you change your cc number, but am not sure about debit.

Good luck 🤞

@Dee1224 Thankyou 😊The person I spoke to at the bank today, decided it is fraud and have already refunded me in full. They also cancelled my card like you suggested and are sending me out a new one. So at least Fossil can't take any more from me.

Very pleased that the bank has come good, @XmasShoppingsister. Great news about the refund. I am very glad they sorted it out for you before the weekend!

XmasShoppingsister · 12/01/2024 16:45

@Dee1224 Me too! And thankyou so much for your help, not sure why I didn't just try my bank in the first place!
