Hi [redacted],Thank you for contacting ThinkGeek! We apologize that your order never made it to you. 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.  There is absolutely no excuse for this and we know we've let you down. Upon investigating your order, I do see that one of our Customer Care Agents had set up your refund. Unfortunately, he mistakenly did not issue it at the time. I have issued a full refund of $69.96 back to your credit card. It may take up to 5 business days for your refund to be reflected on your bank statement. As an apology for the inconvenience we have caused you, I have issued you a $20 ThinkGeek gift certificate. This will be emailed to you shortly. If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know.Brisbane B[redacted]Operations Specialist

Hi [redacted],We are very sorry that your order did not arrive on time.  The delivery of your order seems to have been delayed by [redacted]. All ThinkGeek orders are subject to a 1-2 day processing time, which is outside of the time spent in transit. Standard shipping can take 2-6 business days to be delivered. Upon looking into your order, I see that it was processed within the 2 day timeframe but delivered in 7 business days. Since the delivery of your order was delayed, a refund of your shipping charges has been issued. You should see this on your bank statement within 5 business days. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to go back in time to get this product to you prior to your leaving for vacation. If you no longer have a need for the item you purchased, please let me know and I will set up a complimentary return for you. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. Brisbane B[redacted]Operations Specialist

Hello Ms. Sanges,I am sincerely sorry for the negative experience that you had with our company. When ordering online, you trust 1) that the company will follow through with the information not only stated but guaranteed on the site messaging and 2) that if any problem should arise, that the...

issue would be treating in an ideal manner with the respect you deserve as a customer and friend. I apologize that the service we expect out of our customer service representatives was not given to you. I have pulled the interactions you had with Nicki and we will be coaching her on how the situation should have been handled so this will not happen to anyone else in the future. I do see the Nicki did refund you the $12.95 spent on Expedited shipping. I have gone ahead and refunded the $49.98 for the items that you purchased, so if you have not already returned them, please keep them for free as an apology for the less-than-stellar service you received. While the standard is always held true, we coach our agents to be particularly mindful of shipping delays around holidays because we want our customers to trust us and our services to get your gifts to you when you want them.If there anything else I can do to assist you, simply respond to this message and I can personally address the matter.Have a wonderful day,Rebecca S[redacted]Customer Experience Analyst.

Hi [redacted].I am so sorry for the issues you had trying to reach Customer Care.  I looked into your order, and it appears as if it has been mostly resolved.  I went ahead and refunded you for the diaper bag.  Let me know if there is anything else I can do to make this right for you....

Happy holidays!Eva E[redacted]Customer Service Manager

We see that your issue has already been addressed and a full refund of $122.95 was issued back to your credit card on December 23.
