Hi [redacted] , Thank you for contacting ThinkGeekI'm incredibly sorry for the service you received from our Customer Care Agent 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 address this with the agents in questionWe are also sorry that the warehouse had sent you Rutherford-Bohr Model Atom Earrings instead of the Anatomical Heart Necklace you purchasedWe see that an agent had responded to your previous ticket and a replacement order, 65a3db65a, was issued on December The [redacted] tracking, [redacted] , indicates that the package was delivered on December As an apology for the frustration, the Customer Care Agent also issued a $ThinkGeek gift certificateIf you have not received the package or the gift certificate or if further assistance is needed, please let us know Brisbane B [redacted] Operations Specialist

Thank you for your responseI hope you do make those changes to the return policy because I found it to be very frustratingAgain I am not looking for any kind of refund or anything extra all I wanted was to return the product so I could get something elseHowever what is done is done and I'm sure the useless box will be a great gift Also thank you for the offer of a $coupon but I don't think I will need itInstead could you make a donation here, this is a close friend of mine who lost both of his parents to cancer [redacted] Thank you, [redacted]

I've had multiple experiences with thinkgeek where my order has gone wrong (item went out of stock, and another item arrived broken and was discontinued), but in each instance thinkgeek costumer service (through email and online chat) was super helpful and accommodating and made sure I was satisfied after the unfortunate product failuresOut of all the online retailers I've dealt with, I've by far had the best experience with the costumer service from thinkgeek (other sites I've used more than once: a***, t [redacted] t, w***t) With their odd-ball selection of items, I find them a great resource for interesting gifts that my family has adored
