I went to Pandora expecting the same discount I’d received before, using the same family email we’ve always used. This time, it was refused without any flexibility or explanation. At my age and with my health, I rely on my wife to shop for me, and this was meant to be a gift for our daughter. It left me feeling dismissed and really disappointed. - Tony
I bought a Spider-Man charm bracelet in good faith, but when I wore it, the charm kept slipping to the back of my arm. When I returned to the store, instead of offering a fix or refund, I was pushed to buy an expensive stopper. I wasn’t prepared to pay more for a product that didn’t work properly and just wanted a full refund. - Angela

Pandora Refund FAQs
Can you get a refund from Pandora in Australia?
Yes, you can get a refund from Pandora Australia if you return eligible jewellery within 30 days of purchase. The item must be unworn, unused, undamaged, and returned with proof of purchase such as a receipt or order confirmation. Refunds are processed through the same channel you bought from, meaning online orders and in-store purchases follow different return paths. Gift cards and engraved or custom items are excluded from refunds under Pandora’s policy.
What items are not eligible for a Pandora refund?
Pandora does not offer refunds on gift cards, engraved jewellery, or custom-made pieces. Items returned with signs of wear, damage, or missing original packaging may also be refused. Purchases made through independent retailers like David Jones are excluded from Pandora’s refund policy and must follow the retailer’s own rules. Checking eligibility before returning saves time and reduces the risk of a denied refund.
How long does a Pandora refund take to process?
A Pandora refund usually takes around three to four weeks from the time you send the item back. Pandora processes refunds within 10 business days of receiving the return, with mail transit adding up to 14 business days. After the refund is issued, banks typically take another five to seven days to show the funds. In-store refunds are initiated immediately but still depend on bank processing times.
What should you do if your Pandora refund is delayed or denied?
If your Pandora refund is delayed beyond the stated timeframe, contact Pandora Customer Care with your tracking details and proof of return. Delays often happen during peak periods or if information is missing. If your refund is denied due to condition or policy disputes, you can push back by clearly referencing Pandora’s return policy and your consumer rights. Getting support early increases your chance of a fair outcome.
