Revdex.com:
The business has offered a "complimentary return." I'm not sure if this means "return the decals and they will refund my money" or "return the decals and we will send the correct ones when they come in stock." I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me ONLY if they are going to refund my money. If they are not going to refund my money, then I do not find this resolution acceptableI would like a refund to take my business elsewhere.The details of the order (placed by wife, as stated in the email) are as follows:Name: *** ***Order: ***Once the business agrees to a refund, I will take appropriate measures to send the decals back to the companyAs far as not being able to find the chat transcript, I find this as no surpriseThe company hasn't been able to provide even below average customer service so it is no surprise that they the one time I did get in touch with customer service "magically" disappeared

From: *** *** Date: Tue, Feb 10, at 4:PMSubject: Re: You have a new message from the Revdex.com of Metro Washington DC & Eastern Pennsylvania in regards to your complaint #***.To: [email protected] #***This complaint has been resolved as of Feb 10,
I spoke to another supervisor, Justine, and she approved the order, and even upgraded my shipping option as a courtesyShe said I did everything I could to become a valid reseller account, and it was their fault for taking months to even acknowledge it.Regards,***

Hi ***.I am incredibly sorry for the service you received from our Customer Care 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.I have issued a full refund to your card, and arranged for the original order to be returned to our warehouse. I have also refunded the shipping on your second order as an apology for the delay. I hope you will give us another chance in the future to provide you with geeky loot.If there is anything else I can do to make this right for you, please don't hesitate to askRegards,Eva E***Customer Service Manager

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:Bi don't want a gift certificate - I want you to have delivered my gift in time Or to have at least responded to my email, or answered the phone after I waited on hold for over hours, or have answered my chat after hours of waiting You did none of these things.

Hi ***,I'm very sorry that your package got lost, and that
the agent failed to refund you! 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 have issued a full refund to your payment
method, as well as a $apology gift card (ID ***) for this less than
ideal situation. If there is anything else we can do to make this
right for you please don't hesitate to ask! Happy holidays!

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***. I do not actually find this resolution satisfactory (though I will accept it), since ThinkGeek essentially ruined a gift by making it unusable for my friend to the point that he got frustrated and wanted it cancelled, but clearly this company has no interest in keeping its customers. I will use this certificate myself, rather than subjecting any other friends to this misery, and if I have any issues using it myself, I will be certain to contact you again.Also, I think it's telling what kind of company ThinkGeek is that they did NOT offer to even reassign the certificate to me until I contacted Revdex.com and that their form apologies don't even acknowledge that they have caused a lot of distress by ruining a gift for a friend. Thank you, Revdex.com, for at least forcing them to be honest enough to give me some other option for the use of my $25.ThinkGeek, you've lost this customer for your terrible customer service, and you'll lose the business of my other friends as well (friends, I might add, whom I introduced to ThinkGeek, back when you were a respectable company)

the correct item sent out to you.As an apology for this experience, I have issued a $gift card to your email address. Hopefully you can put it to good use on our site! If there is anything else I can do for you to make this right, please don't hesitate to ask.Regards,Eva E***ThinkGeek Customer Service Manager

Hi ***/***.You filed your previous Revdex.com complaint in Jan under account ***. We felt you had abused our lenient return policy and misled agents into giving you gift certificates you claimed had been promised to you, however we we honored all of you gift certificates, then advised
you to take your business elsewhere. Recently, you placed an order going to a new address, under the name *** ***. Since then you have contacted our call center times, each time claiming that the previous agent/manager promised you a gift card which you have not received. As mentioned in January, we will be issuing no further accommodations to you and we still advise for you to take your business elsewhere. I'm sorry, but we are not going to honor the desired outcome.Regards,ThinkGeek Customer Service
