Hi ***I'm so sorry about the issues you had getting through to an agent and that your original order was lost! Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we are sorry that we failed to meet your expectations I research your order and I can see that you were able to get through and successfully get a replacement order set up I'm sorry to say that our agent set up the replacement for items that we do not have in stock, so they were backordered! I had our Warehouse Director personally look to see if we could find those items She was able to find a Pair of Giant Googly Eyes, and Blood Bath Shower Gel She was unable to find the Color-Change LED Candle Set with Remote & the S.H.I.E.L.DWatch, so I have issued a refund for those items If you are interested, we do have a Captain America Watch available which I can send you complimentary I have also issued a $gift card as an apology for this experience If I were in your shoes, I would be livid, and that is not how we want our customers to feel! If there is anything else I can do to make this right for you, please don't hesitate to ask Happy holidays! Eva E [redacted] Customer Service Manager

Hi [redacted] ,I'm so sorry for the issues you had, and for not getting consistent information from agents I pulled up the order to investigate, and it does appear there was a problem with the package leaving the carrier's sort facility (the status update is not showing any updated or recent activity) I've opened an investigation, but the results will not be back in time for Christmas, and I want to get this resolved immediately.We were out of stock of the item, but the good news is that we just received a new shipment I see that you have already been refunded, so I have issued a complimentary replacement order, # [redacted] via expedited shipping since you have already been waiting for your orderWe have also issued you a $apology gift card (ID [redacted] ) for this less than ideal situationIf there is anything else we can do to make this right for you please don't hesitate to ask! Happy holidays! Eva E [redacted] Customer Service Manager

Hi,I am sorry you had trouble with the shipping on your order I see you placed the order on 2/and it left our warehouse on 2/ Two to three day shipping would bring us to the weekend and this service doesn't deliver on the weekend unless it is scheduled for an extra fee That is why it is not being delivered until MondayI can refund a few dollars off the fee to maybe $charge to you but we are still paying for your expedited shipping costsThank you, Heather

Hi [redacted] , I sincerely apologize for your package was lost, and that you were given incorrect information from our agents Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we are sorry that we failed to meet your expectations Though there is really no excuse for this interaction, we ramp up staffing very quickly to support our increased contact volume during the holiday season Due to this, we have a lot of new agents on the floor, which can result in less than stellar interactions, like the one you had We will be sure to coach the agent in question on how this should have been handled, as our refunds are issued immediately The agent also only issued a partial refund to you, so I have taken care of getting the remaining $refunded to your card In regards to your missing order, I pulled up the order to investigate, and it does appear there was a problem with the package leaving the carrier's sort facility (the status update is not showing any updated or recent activity)This unfortunately happens frequently during the holidays with high order volume, so I've opened an investigation to find out what happened I have issued a $gift certificate (ID [redacted] ) as an apology for this frustrating experience If there is anything else I can do to make this right for you, please don't hesitate to ask Happy holidays!

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the responseIf no reason is received your complaint will be closed Administratively Resolved] Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I have documented chat transcripts where your company admits to cancelling those balances, so I could not use them when I wanted to The corporate order was 150$, not the total of the gift cards you suggested, Regards, [redacted] ***

Hi [redacted] .I'm sorry for any trouble that you had cancelling your order Our warehouse processes orders very quickly to ensure that we can get orders out to our customers efficiently Once an order is sent to our warehouse, we cannot guarantee they will be able to catch it before it is loaded onto the truck From looking at this order, it appears as if the order cancellation was successful and you have been refunded, so I am a little bit puzzled by this complaint We strive to provide the best care possible to our customers, so please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you!Regards,ThinkGeek Customer Care
