I bought an item from Cartier in Boston and needed to see if I can get an adjustment in the Cartier Chicago. There were other customers waiting and was told to hang out. The wait was not too long before Ashley reached out and helped me. They offered refreshments was nice wile we were helped. Ashley was very helpful and polite. We decided to wait on the adjustment and gave us great advice. Will definitely come back to this Chicago store for future sales. read more

Not the luxurious experience I expected. I arrived at 1pm on a Friday thinking that it wouldn't be busy. There were six people ahead of me and they said a 45 minute wait. I gave them my phone number and they texted me when it was time. I can't imagine the wait during the weekend. After entering the store, I waited another 10 min before an SA greeted me. There was a small area with a couple of seats which were occupied and there limited counter space, so it wasn't exactly a nice wait. I wanted to check out and try on the trinity collection. The SA showed me the pieces that I wanted to see but not exactly friendly. No one seemed particularly friendly... I left without a purchase since I couldn't decide what I wanted. Now I might actually just order online because I'd rather not come back. I expected a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service, but it was definitely lacking. read more

First time shopping at Cartier. I wanted a simple Love collection ring. We made a spontaneous trip to Cartier and walked in. I was a bit overwhelmed when first walking in, but Pedro was very kind to walk us through. He was informative and got us what I needed. It was a birthday gift and Pedro helped to make our first purchase special. read more

I'm extremely disappointed at my experience with Cartier. I bought a men's wallet well before Christmas as a gift and had it embossed with my husband's initials. It arrived damaged with the initials almost completely rubbed off and sideways. I called customer service to have it replaced and they said they could express ship it and have it arrive by Christmas. I returned it on December 11th and it is now December 28th and it has not even shipped yet. I have asked for compensation many times as this has been an inconvenience for me, but they "never take money off for anyone it's just our policy". Okay, if you are a luxury brand maybe your products shouldn't come damaged or you should be able to quickly replace items for people who spend $700 on a damaged wallet and need it at a certain time. I would expect better service and compensation from a luxury brand. I will not be purchasing anything else from this brand due to this experience. read more

If you want the most amazing and outstanding customer service, ask for Erin. She always provides the best customer service we have ever received from any business on the planet!!! She always goes above and beyond to help us find the exact jewelry and make everything fit perfectly! I can't say enough about how truly special Erin is. We love coming to this location because of her. You will always find the most beautiful Cartier goods here and if it's not available, she will find it for you. Thank you Erin for always making us feel like a valued customer. read more

This location was amazing and the service was unmatched. Mitchell was very helpful and kind. He answered all my question about the santos watch. I was able to try both the large and medium. read more

Terrible service and follow-up for existing consumer and supporter of brand. I have been dealing with significantly declining service across multiple Cartier locations, but specifically during my last few visits to the Chicago boutique throughout this year trying to resolve one singular issue. Timelines are just completely unacceptable for the price that a consumer invests in these products (let alone the quality problem that prompted the issue -- a terrible frayed leather strap for my two-tone Santos de Cartier that has only had less than 10 uses since I've purchased it. A quality of leather I have only seen in very cheap leather construction which is not what I would expect from this brand at all). There is no real option to help troubleshoot these issues online or via phone, so I decided to visit my local boutique in Chicago to address it in person (a wildly inefficient process). Timeline below: June 2024: Original visit to shop (store manager let me know she would speak with the watch repair man ASAP during his business hours and he would get back to me) 7.1.24: First comms back from watch repair contact (via phone) -- I replied back to Chris via text re-explaining the issue since it seems the store manager did not relay the issue accurately at all and had to lay it out again. He let me know they "reach out to our corporate team Paris regarding the situation with your straps..." 7.30.24: One month later, no contact was received from Chris or anyone at Cartier -- I sent a follow-up text to Chris asking for an update. 8.30.24: Two months later, no contact still, I sent another follow-up to Chris. No reply. 9.10.24: greater than 2 months later, still no reply, once again another follow-up. I asked him if there is another avenue to help troubleshoot/escalate. No reply. 9.28.24: Decided to go all the way back downtown to the boutique to speak with the store manager again to understand what is happening. At this point almost three months later, I just want a yes or no on resolution. Terrible quality of service continues. Store manager seemed unworried and again said she would confirm with Chris on Monday ASAP and he would give me a call back with updates. 10.6.24: I have yet to hear back from anyone. One would think the way this brand presents itself would have some more consideration to someone that has purchased their products in the past and is having a frustrating situation from both a product quality and a customer service perspective, but that absolutely is not the case here and it is completely disappointing and quite unacceptable. So I'm relegated to posting this review here both to warn potential buyers and visitors to this boutique and to generally raise awareness of the poor cost-to-quality ratio for brand Cartier is a whole. I might as well have shopped for a watch at JC Penney. read more

I don't normally write reviews, but Erin at Cartier Chicago deserves every word of this one. Her customer service is, without question, the absolute best I have ever received--not just at a luxury retailer, but at any store, period. Erin is the perfect combination of warm, professional, and incredibly helpful. What sets her apart is her honesty and genuine care for her clients. My wife recently tried on both the large and small Cartier diamond Love bracelets. While many salespeople would push for the more expensive option, Erin actually recommended the smaller one--because in her honest opinion, it looked better on my wife's wrist. That kind of sincerity is nearly impossible to find these days. She doesn't upsell, she listens. She doesn't pressure, she advises. And she makes the entire experience feel personal, comfortable, and even fun. Cartier is reopening in Detroit soon, but I can say without hesitation that I will never work with anyone at Cartier except Erin in Chicago. If she ever moves, I'll follow her--because customer service like hers simply doesn't exist anymore. Cartier is lucky to have her. read more

If I could give this place a 0 star I would. Here is my experience- I went in purchased a love medium bracelet. Then when I received the bracelet in the mail - there was no authentication- no screw driver - it wasn't wrapped - like is this a joke? I literally got the bracelet in a bag and the receipt LOL.we pay for experience. This is definitely not what I paid for. The boutique is trying to make it up to me saying oh well overnight the screw driver and authentication to you. How will you make up for the bracelet not being in a box and wrapped w/ authentication? How do I know if this bracelet is even real. Experience feels like I got something off the black market but paid thousands for it. Extremely disappointed. I defiantly did not get what I paid for. Go somewhere else. read more

The gallery is stunning with an art deco vibe. Aiden was extremely helpful from the moment I called to request an appointment and kept in contact for weeks until our planned date to ensure we had the absolute best experience. Upon arrival, my husband and I were greeted by the team, offered a beverage, and were welcomed to browse as we had arrived a bit earlier than expected. Through the appointment, Aiden was knowledgeable and helpful in selecting the appropriate size Love bracelet and answered all of our questions. Our appointment went smoothly, I believe in large part due to the exceptional customer care leading up to and during our visit that Aiden provided. Bravo to Aiden and team for an excellent overall experience- I hope to stop in again soon! read more

I would not recommend the Oak Street location in Chicago. The service has ben declining over the years. I tried calling at least 15 times from Dec 26th - Jan 4th, couldn't get anyone on the phone and not even able to leave a voicemail. When I arrived they were able to assist me within 5-10 mins. Great! I asked "Why is it impossible to get someone on the phone? And not able to leave a voicemail?" The gentleman answered, "We're really busy this time of year." Interesting... When I arrived there must have been at least 15 Cartier employees on the floor. I even called Corporate. No follow-up... You're Cartier! Subpar service to say the least. read more

Here's a little story... Way back in the late 80s, I was gifted a Must de Cartier Vendome watch upon my graduation from college. The Must de Cartier watch line was essentially a collection which allowed more accessibility to the brand. Translation: They were much cheaper than Cartier's flagship classics e.g., the Tank, the Santos, the Panther. So here I was, 34 years ago, newly moved to Chicago for grad school, when my watch needed a new strap and battery. So I hopped on the campus shuttle, which dropped me off downtown, and I made my way to Cartier (which I believe is still in the same location on the Mag Mile today). I walk in, and I was clearly a student (read: probably had no money). I pull out my "cheapy" Cartier quartz watch and inquire about a new strap and battery. The lovely sales person immediately helped me, remarked how my watch was one of her favorite designs, and happily took care of my request. I remember that I felt so good to be treated so kindly when all I needed was a repair. Fast forward from 1988 to 2022, and a dear friend and I decide to pop in on a Saturday and treat ourselves to a few baubles (note we did not make an appointment). The store was actually pretty busy, and we were asked to put our name in and an available sales professional would assist us. Barely 10 minutes later we were greeted warmly. Now, I'm a pretty straight forward shopper, and I was there to purchase a classic Trinity ring, and that was it. However my friend was considering several options and designs, and required a bit more support. Our sales person deftly helped her out, providing helpful information, and all the while engaging us in warm and friendly banter. So to tie this all together: No matter what type of customer you have, always treat them like they're the best you've ever had. And in my experience, this seems to be the case at Cartier and the absolutely exceptional sales professional who took care of us. read more

Just came back from a quick visit from Chicago and decided to stop into the Chicago Cartier storefront. It was an awful experience. I have shopped at Cartier for over 30 years. Staff was dismissive and rude. Don't these people understand their role? One pudgy staff member told me to look on Ebay for a discontinued item. She was flippant as were the other salespeople ...if you can call them that. I wore my timeless Tank watch in and was considering another Cartier watch. As a perused selections not one salesperson came to assist my partner and me. No worries though, I have switched to Patek Philippe. No luxury to be found here. read more

I am so disappointed. I just received my love bracelet as a gift to myself and it won't stay locked. I almost lost it in the grocery store . The screw just fell out and I had my daughter tighten it for me... I believe it arrived stripped. A $5,000 bracelet I cannot return because I had it engraved 40th. I sure hope Michigan Ave can help because otherwise it's no longer a birthday present to me (10/13) it will take 3 weeks to come back. I hope this can be fixed so I can style and profile. If not I will never purchase from Cartier online or boutique. And here my husband was thinking about ordering the line ring to match... The packaging is pretty but a defective was inside. Haven't even worn it a full day yet. I went to the grocery store and noticed on my way out the bracelet was OPEN There's NO WAY TO FIND THAT LITTLE SCREW. *********UPDATE: After going downtown Chicago to Cartier located at 630 North Michigan Ave. I received a top notch response to the above issue. They treated me very well, understood my plight and we rapidly came to an agreement. Not only did I upgrade from the original bracelet I was given a bottle of Cartier Champagne that one cannot find anywhere. On top of that the Online Boutique also stepped in and truly set the record straight on backing their fine jewelry and their FINE, FINE, WORLD RENOWNED NAME!!! After experiencing how Cartier handles issues with their merchandise I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CARTIER!!!! Thank you Service Advisor Lauren Stenzel and your Manager as well. I will definitely shop Cartier again . Cartier, you've outdone yourself indeed. read more

The staff when you can get a hold of them or walk into the store is excellent however they do not answer their phone or they hang up on calls. it took six weeks to change a battery in my watch. That is absolutely unacceptable. There's no way to communicate with them via phone. The only way to communicate with them is to walk into the store. Can't even get very easily. read more

My friend and I stopped by on a Friday to try out some jewelry and because I didn't have an appointment, we waited about 30 minutes before we were helped by an associate. Danijela was super sweet and helpful. She seemed like she genuinely wanted us to have a great try-on experience, even though we did not make any purchases that day. I loved the necklace that I tried on and will sleep on it for another few days but would definitely come back to make the purchase here given the wonderful customer service. read more

The customer service at Oak Street store in Chicago is beyond abysmal. In particular, Sonia has failed to follow-up on numerous occasions for a simple request to purchase a watchband. I have been charged for an incorrect watchband and not received a credit one month after the charge appeared on my credit card. She fails to follow up to emails or phone calls. I am awaiting information on two watchbands, have texted for a follow-up timeline as well as receiving the overdue credit for the incorrect watchband and she hasn't followed up. This has been the most unpleasant and unprofessional service I have ever recevied in any retail experience. Had I not purchased this watch as a gift for a relative (which I relayed to Sonia), I would drop the whole matter. It's not worth dealing with this store. read more

This place is horrible. They do not accept walk-ins and will not take your business. As a Tourist you can not just make an appointment and come back next week. Unfriendly and we surely will not come back. read more

The King of Great Britain once called them, "Jeweler to the King and the King of Jewelers." This is a very small (and very well guarded) boutique with a broad sampling of the finest of Cartier including their watches, jewelry and accessories. There's a small section for their fragrances as well. I called to check on their hours and the availability of a specific fragrance, and from the moment I walked in, Danijela Dedic acknowledged the call and made me feel like I was a special customer. She gave sterling service and exuded a wonderful personality. My little fragrance purchase might've been her smallest of the day, but she treated me with the same respect she'd give a celebrity. The packaging Danijela created was beautiful, too. What a wonderful experience. read more

Over the years I have owned several Cartier watches. I have tried calling the Chicago store many times and never once did anyone answer the phone. Rings about 20 times and terminates.

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting with Jim Puhl over the last few of months who provided a wealth of valuable information and suggestions. Unknown to me, Jim was assisting with my wife to gift me a Tank which is my grail timepiece. I am extremely happy with my new watch! The downtown Chicago boutique is wonderful as we are always warmly welcomed by everyone from security to the sales team. Jim is an awesome representative of the Carter brand. He is passionate about his personal collection of watches & literature while sharing his knowledge of design significance of the various products. read more

Cartier's customer service is unparalleled! A few days after my original post, I received a message regarding my love ring. Cartier truly prides itself in it's creations and strives to keep their pieces in pristine condition at their boutiques. They went above and beyond in their efforts to reach out to the original boutique and to let me know they had a pristine love ring in stock for an exchange. Although I already had a very pleasant experience my first time visiting Cartier, I was truly blown away by their commitment to their customers! Also, if anyone ever needs help at the Cartier Chicago location, I highly recommend Jim as your sales associate! read more

Stopped by on the way to the Starbucks Reserve to change my cord. Went in without appointment and they were super nice and welcoming. They checked me in had to browse around.

The whole encounter was super quick and everyone was very friendly. read more

This location has horrible service. Two experiences now. First one I had to wait over a YEAR for my watch to be repaired. Multiple delays, horrible communication, and all after initially quoting that it would take up to 10 weeks. They ended up doing the whole thing for free thankfully. Now this second experience I wanted a new watch strap. Had an appointment, chose a strap, was told up to 3 weeks. It's going on 6 weeks and I've heard ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from them. This Chicago location is the worst. I get better service from McDonalds at this point. read more

Lovely place to visit and enjoy! The staff are nice but somehow the location is not as inviting and welcoming as Tiffany's.

I am a big fan of their watches, which by themselves deserve 5 stars. This store however has impeccable service, whether you come in to purchase a new piece or just for a battery exchange. Recent purchases also include a wallet and sunglasses, all of which are complimented every time I use them. The sales associates really work hard here, and it shows with their approach and kindness. read more

Remember that they don't care you once you buy something from them. I was humiliated by one of their hosts the other day in front of people when I just asked his coworker's phone number. He said to me step out, can't help you. I never had experienced that someone treated me harassed like that. Like I said, even I talked to one of their managers after, they said they will help you but they don't really. Because it is taking me forever to get just jewelry valuation paper on my engagement ring. Because they do not give you detailed paper on your jewelry like others. I will never set a foot on their boutique again in my life and I will just take my business elsewhere that treats customer right!!! read more

We bought our wedding bands and Nan was the associate who helped us. She was kind, informative, funny, and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We'll come back just to buy from her again. read more

If you want to feel unwelcome and experience rude customer service, this is the place to go too. I walked in with a couple of my friends and not one person greeted us, not even a smile. I went in to get my bracelet resized, the woman that helped me was the coldest person I have ever met. She kept staring at all of us giving dirty looks and rolling her eyes. She proceeded to tell me that it's a $250 charge to get the bracelet sized. When I asked her to size it and I'll call customer service she got annoyed and stated that customer service would say the same thing. I told her that was fine but I would rather go thru them. Once she sized it she just sat there watching me struggle to put my bracelet on, at this point in time my friends that were with me had walked out because of the uncomfortable atmosphere. I asked her to help me and she did, but with an attitude. Also, her dry rough hands touching my skin made me regret even asking her for help. Anyways, I just got off the phone with customer service... there is no charge to get the bracelet resized and the customer service rep was also confused as to why I was told false information. Read the reviews and stay away! read more

Our sales associate (Nan) was so wonderful. She was so patient, kind, and really made the whole experience of picking out jewelry fun. She's also very knowledgeable and made some great suggestions. She really understood our personalities and what we were looking for. We knew exactly what we wanted when we came in, but it was more fun with Nan in person than it would have been buying online. read more

I recently stopped in here with my hubby to pick out a joint 30th bday/push present. He's convinced I made up the whole "push present" thing, but the sales associates at Cartier claim I'm not the first to ask for one. Speaking of their sales associates, we were ignored at first (apparently we didn't look upscale enough to be purchasing Cartier jewelery), but once we hung around the watches long enough they decided we were serious buyers. We were helped by Leslie, who waited very patiently while I went back and forth between the tank francaise and the santos demoiselle. And then was even more patient as I decided on big face vs small face. Decisions, decisions! We ended up making the purchase elsewhere since we found a jeweler that could give us a better deal on the watch, but it definitely helped to do the initial research here. read more

This location is fabulous with excellent service. I highly recommend working with Lesley if you have any gifting needs or want that special piece for yourself. She goes above and beyond in making each client feel special and ensures all the information is correctly communicated. I've become a repeat customer due to her service and hand purchased 6 items from her in the last year. They also take COVID procedures seriously which I appreciate. read more

Went in to purchase a money clip for my boyfriend and they were delightful. Incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive. I received zero help at Bulgari and because of this, I went straight to Cartier and will continue to do so. I am on the younger end of their clientele base but didn't feel profiled at all. A+ experience! 1 star off because they didn't have ANY money clips on display even though they had several in stock. They all seemed to be surprised as well. Kind of a weird oversight in a store of that caliber. read more
