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 $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] .We are sorry for any confusion regarding this gift certificate As stated on the checkout page, ThinkGeek gift certificates are non-refundable The recipient emailed us to state that he did not want the gift certificate (see attached email transcript) We do not have any record of him contacting to state that he was having trouble checking out with it We tested the gift certificate (# [redacted] ), and it does indeed work Our apologies, but our system does not allow us to refund a gift certificate, so I cannot honor your request to have it refunded We would recommend finding someone to gift it to who is interested in redeeming it, as it will be active until 1/7/ We have changed the email address on the gift certificate to your email so reminders will stop being sent to Panagis.Regards,ThinkGeek Customer Service

Hi ***,I sincerely apologize for this experience! Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we are sorry that we failed to meet your expectations We had some staffing issues due to the inclement weather, so we unfortunately ended up with a large backlog The wait times this year have been completely unacceptable and I understand how frustrating this experience has been I am also sorry that you were given incorrect information by our Customer Care Agent when you were able to get through 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 make gift recipients pay for shipping for returns, and we can do exchanges I looked into the order and see that the gift giver has already been refunded I have issued a $gift certificate to you (ID [redacted] ) 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 Eva E [redacted] Customer Service Manager
