SEPHORA INSIDE JCP at Oak Park Mall. Overland Park, Kansas!!!!
Sephora in its entirety has completely lost my respect, and money! Placed an online order, didn't like the product. I'm a stickler for reading reviews and most times I will not shop online, especially if I'm not able to return locally or US mail free of charge. After careful research and reading (several times) on the back of the SEPHORA RECEIPT, it clearly stated, returns can be made by mail or Sephora stores and Sephora inside JCP! Trying to kill to birds with one stone, I drove all the way to Sephora in Overland Park Kansas located at Oak Park Mall. I tell the sales rep I have an online return and I didn't like the colors. I had 2 Kat Von items, 1 Sephora item, 1 Stila item. We get to the register she says "on we no longer have this in the store (Stila) so you can't return this" I say, the receipt states any item I'm not satisfied with can be returned to any US Sephora store in/out of JCP! She says "oh I don't know what to do, let me call my manager" She comes back and says yeah my manager said we can't return this one. I tell her I drove all this way and I don't have the time to drive somewhere else. She calls the manger, manger comes down. She then tells me, not only can they not accept the Stila item but now they also can not accept one of the Kat Von items. I'm thinking how did this go from driving here to make a return of four items, get here, one rep says I can only return 3 and now you telling me I can only return 2. I say so you're telling me, the back of the receipt (online packaging receipt) is old, outdated and misleading. The manager tells me yes the receipt is wrong then precedes to try and push the bs line "oh well our system was updated 2 months ago and hey have no way of knowing what the item really is or how much it is. I say ok but I just place this order 2 days ago, you have the box, packing slip, my email address (which clearly states what was just ordered and the bar code should tell you everything you need to know, just as it would tell you the name and amount of the order two items. Then she states the system was updated 2 weeks ago. I told her, you're not putting the items back on the shelf, you're sending them back to a warehouse, so rather you can find it out not, I'm supposed to be able to return. She smiles while shaking her head then shrug her shoulders, there's nothing we can do. I laughed, told her that's fine I'll go somewhere else. Not cool Sephora, not cool at all!!! I wasted a lot of gas, time, energy and a one hour drive, dealing with them. I immediately called customer service and was told again, no matter the product they are supposed to accept the return. The csr claimed to have submitted a complaint and that I'd here from the district manager. As of today I have not. The only reason the 1 star is there, because Yelp would not allow a review without some sort of rating. read more
