Keith Edwards,

Dear Keith,

It was a pleasure speaking with you today.

I would like to sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused with your order CR-391292-2754677. I understand how disappointing it was to receive an empty parcel, especially when you were expecting the item to be inside.

As discussed, I have now taken ownership of the case and will arrange for your refund to be processed as a priority. We will also be carrying out the necessary checks on our side to investigate what may have happened, as the item is a very small wire component and may have either been missed during packing or become displaced during transit.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and for your patience while we resolve this matter. I will ensure this is progressed as quickly as possible for you.

Kind regards
Donna
Customer Resolution Team.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your review. I tried to contact you by phone today but was unable to get through, so I have sent an email with further details.

Having investigated, I can see that your order was despatched on time, however, the parcel was damaged in transit, resulting in items being lost from the package. One of my colleagues has since arranged replacement items and processed a credit for the affected goods.

I apologise for the inconvenience caused and for the delay in resolving this matter.

Kind regards,
Donna
Customer Resolution Team.

Hi Gill,

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today.

I am very sorry for the frustration caused by the delay in responding to your return request. I understand how disappointing it was to receive a product that did not meet your expectations.

Having reviewed your case, I can see that a return was requested as the quality was not as expected and the item was reported as not being centred correctly. Our Online Team has since provided return instructions to your colleague. Once the item has been returned and received by us, a refund will be processed.

Thank you for your patience and for giving me the opportunity to discuss this with you. We appreciate your feedback and apologise again for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Donna,

Upon investigation, the parcel encountered a delivery issue and was returned to sender, which resulted in you not receiving your order as expected. I understand how frustrating this must have been and appreciate why you chose to cancel and purchase elsewhere.
