Unsatisfactory customer service
I placed an order (£40 in value) and only received 4 out of the 5 items... the missing one being the most expensive item @£14.99. I contacted their customer support to say I loved the products I'd received but sadly one was missing could they please rectify this as soon as possible to be met with a reply asking for proof of the missing item... they wanted photos of how my order arrived, the packing slip and photos of the items received which made me feel they did not believe me. I replied to say there was no packing slip inside the box to which they replied "how strange" again as if to suggest I am not being honest. I was told they could not send me the missing item until they had studied their CCTV footage of their packing stations to see what had happened before they would correct THEIR error. So basically until we have proof you are telling the truth we are not sending you the product you've already paid for. Why do they need to know what happened before giving me peace of mind that I've not lost £14.99 on a product I haven't received??? It's obvious what happened - their packer forgot to put it in the box. Why the big investigation over one product? I'm hardly going to go to great lengths to lie about not receiving one out of five items.
I have run my own online retail business and this is not how I would treat any customer let alone a new one who you would hope will become a regular one. Why not give your customers the benefit of the doubt as soon as they raise the error given all that it would cost to pop another in the post before carrying out an investigation into what went wrong your end. Instead of upsetting the customer to the extent they won't ever place another order and will tell their friends to avoid your business too.
They have finally sent me the missing product but only after several emails chasing a satisfactory and prompt resolution and because I was able to show the item that was listed on a label stuck to the front of the box (I guess this was the missing packing slip) had not been scored off like the other items I received had been. No fast tracked courier either to make up for the delay and no apology was forthcoming once I was able to provide this strict acceptable proof of their mistake, just told begrudgingly they had now raised a new order to send my missing product. Very unimpressed with their rude attitude and will not be ordering again.
