Bracelet with defect for 380 PLN and „fast” replacement
I ordered a “beaded” bracelet for 380 PLN from Apart’s official website. The delivery was genuinely fast, but the bracelet arrived with one bead missing from the middle of the design, making the defect immediately noticeable. It was meant to be a gift, and I’m glad I was there to present it in person.
I contacted customer support by email. They replied about six hours later and offered a “fast” replacement via courier. Even though I had originally chosen InPost parcel locker delivery, I accepted because it was at least a solution. This happened on a Saturday, and the courier arrived on Tuesday.
The replacement bracelet was in perfect condition, and the packaging and gift note were identical to the original order. However, I wasn’t offered any form of goodwill compensation for the time I lost or for the embarrassment caused by giving a defective gift.
I have previously bought several items from their physical stores, and those purchases were always fine. Unfortunately, after this experience, I don’t plan to use their online service again.
