Pandora complaints submitted through Ajust
I went into the Garden City Pandora to buy a bracelet for my daughter and left feeling upset and ignored. One staff member treated me with clear hostility and kept taking the jewellery away while I was still choosing. Another worker apologised and tried to help, which only made the behaviour more obvious. What should have been a happy moment turned into a really uncomfortable experience. - Rayam
I’ve bought Pandora for my family for years, so this experience really disappointed me. My wife tried to use our shared email to receive a discount we’d used before, but was told it didn’t count because it wasn’t in her name. With my health issues, I rely on her to shop for me, and this felt unnecessarily rigid and unfair. - Tony
I purchased a Spider-Man charm bracelet from the Wollongong store and was excited to wear it, but the charm kept slipping around my wrist. When I returned, I was pushed to buy expensive stoppers instead of being offered a proper solution. I felt let down after buying in good faith and just wanted a fair refund for something that didn’t work as expected. - Angela
I work in retail at Pacific Fair and was concerned by the behaviour of a Pandora staff member who repeatedly came into my workplace. She spoke over me and engaged my customers as if she worked there, which confused and scared people off. I raised it because it felt inappropriate and unprofessional, and I’d hate for other retailers or customers to be affected the same way. - Trianna

Pandora Complaints FAQs
How can I contact Pandora customer support in Australia and which option is fastest?
You can contact Pandora Australia by phone, live chat, email, online contact forms, or in-store, with phone and live chat usually the fastest. Phone support runs Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm AEST, while live chat is typically available 10am–4pm on weekdays. For urgent issues like missing items or delivery delays, calling or visiting a store often leads to quicker resolution than email.
What are the most common issues customers experience with Pandora orders?
The most common Pandora customer issues include delivery delays, missing items, packaging concerns, and jewellery quality problems. Some shoppers also report slow response times online or difficulty with warranty claims at first. These issues are usually resolved after follow-up, especially when customers provide receipts, order numbers, or photos. In-store staff are frequently praised for being more proactive with fixes.
How does Pandora’s returns and refund policy work in Australia?
Pandora allows 30-day change-of-mind returns if items are unworn, in original condition, and accompanied by proof of purchase. Refunds are processed back to the original payment method once returns are received and checked. Engraved items and gift cards are excluded, and exchanges are usually handled as refunds followed by a new purchase. Online returns can be completed via Pandora’s returns portal.
What should I do if Pandora is slow to respond or won’t honour a warranty?
If Pandora is slow to respond or initially declines a warranty claim, persistence and escalation often help. Start by following up through another support channel, such as phone or in-store, and clearly reference the 2-year manufacturing warranty. Providing photos, receipts, and a clear explanation of the fault improves outcomes. Many customers report success after calmly pushing for a review of their case.
