I’ve been a repeat customer of Vitaly…
I’ve been a repeat customer of Vitaly for years and have purchased multiple pieces from them because I genuinely love their jewelry. Unfortunately, this experience completely changed my opinion of the company. I accidentally had a bracelet I purchased as a birthday gift shipped to my old address. As soon as I realized my mistake, I did everything I could to try to recover the package on my own before reaching out to customer service. When that wasn’t successful, I contacted Vitaly, fully acknowledging that the shipping error was my responsibility. I wasn’t demanding a free replacement. I simply asked whether, as a loyal customer who has made multiple purchases and is still paying for this bracelet through installments, they would consider making a one-time exception or offering any type of goodwill solution. Instead, I received what felt like a template response stating that because the package had been delivered to the address on the order, there was nothing they could do. No alternative was offered—not a discounted replacement, store credit, or any other solution. I understand businesses need policies, but customer service is also about how you treat loyal customers when honest mistakes happen. I left this interaction feeling like my years of supporting the brand meant nothing. While I still think the jewelry is beautifully designed, I can no longer recommend the company based on the customer service I received, and I won't be purchasing from Vitaly again.

Hi Mario, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and for being a longtime Vitaly customer. We understand how disappointing it is to realize an order was placed using an outdated shipping address, particularly when it was intended as a birthday gift. After reviewing your order, we confirmed that it was fulfilled and delivered exactly as addressed at the time of checkout. While we appreciate that the incorrect shipping address was entered unintentionally, the accuracy of the shipping information submitted with an order is ultimately the responsibility of the customer. Once an order has been successfully delivered to the address provided, we are unable to assume liability for the package or provide a complimentary replacement, as there was no error in the fulfillment or delivery process. Had you contacted us right after placing your order, we would have taken emergency measures to update your shipping address. However, we were not notified of your shipping issue until 13 calendar days after placing your order, and nearly a full week after it was delivered. Under these circumstances, there was nothing we could do to prevent the delivery issue. We recognize that you were hoping for a one-time exception, and we appreciate that you acknowledged the address error originated during checkout. Our policies are designed to be applied consistently to every order to ensure fairness for all customers. While we're sorry this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for, our decision was based on the circumstances of the delivery rather than your history with our brand. We sincerely appreciate your support over the years and regret that this experience has impacted your perception of Vitaly.
