Hi Autopia,
I placed an order with you which i received yesterday.
I have a problem with the order and sent several emails, but no reply!
Is this normal?
Okay, now that I know who you are, Zak, I can respond.
Everyone of the emails you sent received a response. The first email was delayed because it hit our SPAM folder.
You complained that your package was completely ruined (because three bottles of product broke) and was missing multiple items. You mentioned that the order looked as thought it had been opened. It is not uncommon for Customs to open packages. If a package is damaged, the Post Office WILL open it. We ship more than a dozen packages a day to the UK. In the entire time we have shipped to the UK (5 years), we have only had three orders with leaking products. We have NEVER had an order (to my knowledge) with multiple items leaking.
As 100% of our orders since February 10th go through bar code scanning, it is not likely that an order could leave our facility with items missing. Since we started bar code scanning, we have had only one wrong shipment that we are aware of. It was due to having the wrong bar code applied to the product.
We asked that you please provide a picture of the damaged package for our insurance. You refused to assist and asked that we not only re-ship 100% of your order Including items like pads that could not possibly be ruined), but also provide you with free product worth an additional $40. This prompted us to reconstruct the order for shipping weight purposes to see if items could possibly be missing. The package we shipped to you was exactly the same weight.
Our end service response was to give you a 100% refund. Your refund was processed 4 business days after your first complaint email was received.
Customer service issues like this are rare, but they happen. We believe that we package shipments properly and take every possible precaution to avoid mistakes and damage. When mistake or damage happen, our customer care department takes care of it very quickly. When we receive complaints that cannot be substantiated, or when a customer asks for service that can reasonably be expected, our choice is to cut it off.
