Kate Spade I will never order from kate spade again

I will never order from Kate Spade again. I ordered the bond sawyer purse during their surprise 75% off sale. I received order confirmation, then I waited...and waited for shipping information. It's been almost a week, and today I received a cancellation notice for the order. When I called to inquire, they told me that they had no way to provide an "out of stock" message. So, they basically oversell their items. Thanks, but no thanks!

Kate Spade poor customer service and quality for the money

I have bought 2 Kate Spade Purses and have had trouble with both, they will only give you back less than 1/2 of what you paid (what a good deal for them). I don't use them on a daily basis and I have had purses from TG Max, and Target last longer and are better than theres for less than 1/4 of the price. There customer service stinks, they find excuses instead of taking care of there customer. I will never buy anything else made by them and I will let everyone I know of the problems I have experienced.

Totally agreed on the inflexibility of Kate Spade policy. Why bother to have a sale and was restricted to only two per items? The best solution they can offered is to please come back the next day to make the further purchase! Really? Kate Spade?

Worse customer service by in-store staff, securities, n customer service on the phone. Will never buy such product again. Kate Spade thinks highly of herself. Snobby n rude services overall! Horrible quality too. I'd rather buy a bag from somewhere else like coach who's customer service is above n beyond n way better quality too!

I agree with you about the horrible customer service. As far as I'm concerned, this company is only interested in making a profit; not at all interested in promoting long term customer loyalty, which I imagine will one day affect their bottom line. I have never experienced such a blatant lack of integrity in dealing with their customers. Will never purchase their products again.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

My husband bought me a Kate Spade tote and wallet in late October 2010 as a Christmas gift for me. He was leaving for a 12 month tour in Afghanistan in early November and wanted to make sure he made the purchase while he was able. When I received the gift for Christmas, I found the the strap on the tote was too small and decided to return both (the wallet...

Kate Spade not able to return a duplicated order

I placed an order from http://www.katespade.com on 12/21 which is the last day to order for me to receive the item before Christmas. I received an email shortly after I placed the order from katespade telling me that they are having difficulty obtaining authorization on my credit card and to call customer service to update information. I tried calling the phone # provided but did not managed to talk to a rep. after waiting for a long time. I went to review my online order and notice I have provided a wrong CID # for my credit card. Since I can't talk to the customer service to update my the CID# for this order, I would only imagine this order will not go through with a wrong CID#. So I place another order to save my time of trying to contact customer service and to receive my purchase before Christmas. I did received my second order on 12/24 but I receive the same bag again on 12/30! Apparently katespade was able to process my first order with the wrong CID#. And after checking my email, the order went through 12/22.
I am still ok at this point thinking - well its just a double order, I can return one of them. To my surprise, I was not able to return the bag at the retail store at Standford shopping on 1/8. The store person told me the sales are final and I need to call katespade.com to tell them my situation.

I called katespade.com and spoke with a couple of associates who at first directed me back to the store telling me I should still be able to return within 14 days upon receiving the bag but when I finally talked with the manager - Mike A. he insisted that the sales are final and I can't return the bag with any reason. Since I am not able to return my bag, then my question is how did my order with the wrong CID# went through? It must be a misuse of my personal information on the part of katespade. Totally disappointed with how katespade treats it customer - even more so when I bought at least 5 bags from them in the past year. Unfortunately katespade.com will lose me as a customer now. Beware of their online scam!

6/18 I paid $95 for a torn nylon handle. Which I returned The order # is ZUP [protected] and I wanted another style- like leather but the agent said she was sending the exact same one and bruptly disconnected!

I will pay more. But I want leather that will last like my original Kate Spade

Unfortunately, I had the same experience with a Not Ordered duplicate order that I was not able to return because I could not reach anyone at the company that would authorize the return. To add injury to insult, the Apple watch from my first order is no longer working and I will continue to spend more time trying to get a credit for these two items! BB should shut down the online component of the company.

Kate Spade poor quality

I purchased a $200 organizer from katespade.com in January. It arrived with a scratch on the back and I called the company who issued a return. However, I really needed a daytimer and decided to keep the item. In the two months that I've had it, the organizer is scratched terribly, from normal daily use, and I don't believe that it's a good quality product for the price. When I called the company today, they told me that there is nothing that they can do since it's past 90 days. Absolutely nothing. So they really don't care that they are selling a poor quality product for $200 and are quite happy to send a customer out there who will NEVER purchase from Kate Spade again! They have no interest in making me happy with my purchase and didn't seem to care that they've lost a customer. So sorry Kate Spade!

I received my wallet today that I paid $188 for. The day I received it it is on sale 75% off. Took the time to call and see if they would credit instead of me driving to the store to return and they will not. Terrible service. Will not buy again.

Maybe their attitude towards customer service us changing. Although admitting no responsibility fir the dye leak from the handle on to my purse they, and after listing on social media and telling rhem I was using their purse as a model to tell everyone I met not to buy their product and pointing out to them how many customers they lose from one unhappy person. I received a replacement purse. Fair is fair. I will comment on bad customer service and I will comment on good. Thank you Kate spade for eventually honouring your warranty.

My new Kate Spade sat two months in storage in a plastic purse hanger behind my closet door. The red colour on the edge of the handle on both sides bled into the face of the purse. I contacted customer service and they told me that it was caused by "normal wear and tear" and was not covered by their warranty. I had never worn the purse and nothing had ever touched it but itself and it was only two months into their one year warranty. . When I looked for the label inside the pocket that they ask you to send I realized that on the back of the Kate Spade made in New York label it actually says made in China. The cheap China dye had leaked on my brand new purse and Kate spade is denying any responsibility for their quite obvious factory defect. I bought 4 Kate purses and this is the last. It was obvious how the dye Mark fits perfectly with the purse handle.

Question:
1. What color did you purchase? I was thinking about buying the black one, and I didn't know if that might be better than a colored one.
2. The planner is on sale now from $195 down to $136... Would you still recommend not purchasing this item even after the discount?
3. Is the rest of the product good quality? Are seams ripping or fraying? How long do you think this product would last functionally? (not so much aesthetically...)
