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

Hi ***.I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience shopping with us. Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we are sorry that we failed to meet your expectations. I took a look at your order, and I am unable to find a $order placed on 11/25. The only order
associated with your email address that I was able to locate is *** which was placed on 12/at 11pm and was for $257.68. Is that the order you are referring to, as it does have *** *** Rebel Mugs?During the holidays, we have a slightly longer warehouse processing time for non-expedited orders, due to the high order volume, so when you placed this order, on the checkout page there was verbiage stating we had a 3-day processing time. Since your order was placed after our 1pm ET order cut off, it was considered a 12/order. It shipped out on 12/8, which was still within the advertised timeframe. In regards to the delivery, the tracking shows that the *** trash can arrived on 12/and everything else arrived on 12/15. I will definitely pass along your feedback about making the order tracking process easier for customer, as I agree with you on that!I apologize that you were not happy with the quality of our Customer Care Agents. Though there is really no excuse for poor service, 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 unfortunately result in some less than stellar interactions. In regards to the promotion not combining with free shipping, we try to make the details of promotions very clear on our website, so I am sorry if it came as a surprise to you. On the Free Shipping banner, if you click where it says "(click here for details)" you will see the following: (no coupon required; FREE shipping does not combine with other offers). Also, on the promotion itself, there were details stating that it did not combine with free shipping.With all that said, we really don't like to see anyone walk away from us disappointed, since we consider our customer our friends and we do what it takes to keep our friends happy. I've issued a $gift card, ***, as an apology for this experience. If there is anything else I can do to make this right for you, please don't hesitate to askAgain, I apologize for this major inconvenience, however I hope you will give us another chance in the future to provide you with geeky loot.Eva E***Customer Service Manager

Hi ***,Thank you for contacting ThinkGeek We are so sorry you did not receive your order! We identified an issue at our fulfillment center that affected a limited number of customers, and unfortunately, your order was one of the affected orders Customer satisfaction is very
important to us and we are sorry that we failed to meet your expectations. After looking into your order, I see that a Customer Care Agent issued a full refund back to your original payment on December I have also issued a $apology gift card (ID ***) for this frustrating experience. If there is anything else I can do to make this better, please don't hesitate to ask.Brisbane B***Operations Specialist

Hi ***
I am so sorry for the issues you
experienced attempting to return the laboratory shot glasses. Customer
satisfaction is very important to us and we are sorry that we failed to meet
your expectations. The wait times this year have been completely unacceptable
and
I understand how frustrating this experience has been. We are committed to
learning from this and making it up to all of our customers
In regards to the "interesting" math
calculation set up by our Customer Care Agent. 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 do not have any policy in place to deduct an extra
percentage off of your order total when you return a product. Unfortunately,
our Return Authorization System allows for manual human intervention to change
the refund amount. The same, very confused agent set up your return to only
credit back for the promotional price of shot glass, instead of the you
returned.
Every piece of the return process must
have been completely frustrating for you, and that is not the experience we wish
upon any of our customers. I have issued a full refund for your order,
including the expedited shipping, as well as a $gift certificate (ID
***) as an apology for this poor experience.If there
is anything else I can do to make this right for you, please don't hesitate to
ask. Again, I apologize for this major inconvenience, however I hope you will
give us another chance in the future to provide you with geeky
loot

Once orders move into the processing stage at our fulfillment center, we do not have the ability to change the contentsHowever, the agent was incorrect in advising you that a restocking fee would be deducted from your returnRestocking fees are only charged on items that are returned without all of its original packaging and are not charged on all returns.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me I have finally received the reimbursement and I did use the gift card and have received that order without problemHowever, it is sad to me that it took contacting Revdex.com to get any sort of resolveI hope Think Geek will continue to improve their processes and customer service to more satisfactory levels as I have come to find there were a large amount of other customers experiencing similar situations as mine.

Hi ***,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, #*** via
expedited shipping since you have already been waiting for your orderWe have
also issued you 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!

Hi ***
I sincerely apologize for the delay
getting back to you via email, and for the issues you experienced getting
through to our Customer Care Team. We had some staffing issues due to the
inclement weather, so we unfortunately ended up with a large backlog of emails,
which
led to high wait times for phone and chat. I just took a look at your
order, and I see that your return was received by our warehouse on 1/27. You
should see your refund reflected on your credit card within the next few days,
if it is not there already.
Customer satisfaction is incredibly
important to us, and I am incredibly sorry for the issues you had with our
return process! I have issued a $gift certificate (ID ***) 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. Again, I apologize for
this major inconvenience, however I hope you will give us another chance in the
future to provide you with geeky loot
