AVOID. Scam
AVOID — total scam and a night are that dragged on for a month
I strongly recommend NOT ordering from SwissMade Direct.
Before purchasing, I specifically asked whether the exact product advertised was physically in stock. Their representative confirmed that it was. After taking my money, Yvonne later admitted that they actually had to order it from the manufacturer — who no longer makes the product I purchased.
They then tried to pass off a completely different product as a “slight change in design”.
Almost every problem was followed by another excuse: no order confirmation, emails supposedly going to spam, stock they didn’t actually have, extremely slow responses and then delays with my refund and even trying to avoid refunding altogether.
I dealt principally with Yvonne, while Sabine from SMD Customer Relations also became involved and confirmed that a colleague would process my refund.
Despite this, Yvonne repeatedly insisted that I close my PayPal dispute first and trust SwissMade Direct to refund me afterwards. Absolutely not. I suspect I would’ve never have gotten my money back if I did that.
Their communication was evasive, painfully slow and, in consistently lacking in transparency.
Their prices and international shipping are also extraordinarily expensive, making this lack of service even more unacceptable.
I eventually had to escalate the matter through PayPal because I had lost confidence that Yvonne, Sabine or SwissMade Direct would resolve it reliably themselves.
Misleading stock information, endless excuses, poor communication and resistance when a refund becomes necessary.
AVOID. I would never order from them nor recommend any person to take a chance. They are a shame to the Swiss identity
