Hi [redacted],I am so sorry that we seemed to have failed you on
every level!  In regards to not responding to your emails, and the long wait
times, we had some staffing issues due to the inclement weather, so we
unfortunately ended up with a large backlog from which we are still trying to...


recover. 
I pulled up the order to investigate the issue, and it does appear
there was a problem with the package leaving the carrier's sort facility.  I've
opened an investigation with [redacted] to find out what happened with your order.  I'm
glad the package did ultimately make it to you, however I am sorry that one of
the items from the order was missing. I’ve issued a refund for
the value of the product and a $20 gift card as an apology (ID [redacted]) for
this less than ideal situation.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 and hope you have an otherwise great
day.

Hi [redacted].I am so sorry to hear about the issues you had checking out.  Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we are sorry that we failed to meet your expectations.  We have an order verification system that all orders must go through before they can be fulfilled.  It...

passes all orders through address verification as part of the process.  In your situation, our system was showing that your billing address did not match the billing address on file with your financial institution.  Due you being a first time customer, and ordering a product that has a high fraud risk, the system was rejecting your order.  I'm sorry for all of the hassle you have gone through trying to place this order.  If you are still interested, I have marked you as a verified customer in our system, so you should not have any additional problems placing orders on our website.  I have also manually reversed the authorization holds that were on your account, so the funds should be released.I have issued a $20 gift certificate as an apology for this frustrating experience.  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 ask.  Happy holidays!Eva E[redacted]Customer Service Manager

Hi [redacted].I'm really sorry for any confusion I caused regarding the refund amount!  I'm glad to hear that you were able to see the remaining balance credited back.  If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.  Thanks!Eva E[redacted]Customer Service Manager

Hi,Please note that we can refund that amount when we have the products back.  We have not received them in our warehouse to refund you that amount.  Do you have information that you can send showing all items returned?  We only have a partial.Thank you.

Hello [redacted]I am incredibly sorry for the issues you had when trying to check out!  I researched your order and payment history  Our records indicate the billing address entered on the order does not match the billing address that your financial institution (bank) has on...

file for the card. For this reason, our verification system wouldn't permit the order to be finalized.  Despite what the agent told you, this order never made it to completion.   ThinkGeek does not charge your credit or debit card until an order is actually shipped out. The amount in question is a pending transaction hold, pulled aside while your card was in the authorization process.  These holds typically drop on their own within 3 business days, however I have manually released the holds on your to try to speed along the process.  If you still haven't seen the holds drop by tomorrow, please give me the name and fax number of your bank, and I can send a Release Purchase Authorization Request. I have issued a $20 gift certificate (ID [redacted]) as an apology for this frustrating experience.  I have also marked you as verified in our system, so you should have no further issues checking out, if you are still intersted.  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 ask.  Happy holidays!Eva E[redacted]Customer Service Manager

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  I haven't gotten the statement with the credit but I am assuming it will be there because they went above and beyond and sent me a complimentary gift - the item that I had wanted.  I was frustrated because I couldn't get anyone to listen to me but now, that I have, thanks to you, they have sent me emails and apologized.    
Regards,
[redacted]
