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

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:It is unfair and unethical to deny the return of an unused gift certificate. It's not a matter of inconvenience, it's about integrity. It's about loosing my husband and I as customers, not to mention our friends and families an co-workers as our news spreads, over something as trivial to you as a $gift certificate. To us however it's not trivial at all. It's the principal of the thing. Every store in the mall refunds unwanted or inappropriate gifts; why not you?Regards,
