Oakley sunglasses - good exp

I ordered Oakley sunglasses, it didn't fit me perfectly. So I returned them back and the payment was received within 4-5 days. Thats what I really liked, smooth customer experience even if the product doesn't fit your specifications and likes.

Mostly bad experience

I asked the personnel to send the glasses to another place, but even though I was told that this was a non-issue the glasses was never sent to me and after trying to contact the store, which sent me an invalid phone number by sms, and then trying to contact the company I was completely ghosted. Never heard anything from them before I traveled about 300km back to the place where I ordered them.

I don't think this is an issue with staff, but an issue with the underlying support system which makes it hard for the employees to communicate and keep track of all the things modern organizations are expected to do.

Dear Synsam

Dear Synsam,

I am forced to write here due to extremely bad service I got at the Mall of Scandinavia shop. Your optician made a mistake and instead of putting 1st of Nov 2018, wrote 1st of Jan 2018 on my eye's check form, which was later sent to Transportation committee. Due to this mistake they declined my permission for getting a driving licence (not a valid eye's check - too old). In the meantime I have already started going to a school and scheduled both of my exams at the end of January (I thought what can go wrong when I am perfectly healthy and have no bad records). And now I cannot go to driving lessons as planned.

When I called to Mall of Scandinavia and explained that I need help to fix Synsam's mistake, I got a very unkind and rude answer, that they will come back as soon as they have time. No clear timing, no apology, no understanding that they may have ruined someone's plans. They bounced me between two colleagues without giving any clear answer.

How can you give such a service to a loyal customer - I bought glasses from you and one year later came back for doing eye's check? Instead of offering a compensation for such a mistake you made me struggle to get attention and answer.

It is very impolite and frustrating. I thought it was worth sharing here for other customers to know how you handle problem-solving situations not just pure sales.

Regards,
//Elena
