All dates displayed in the shopping cart at checkout are displayed as "estimated" and it displays that the are estimated dates a number of times as we are fully transparent about delivery dates being estimated. Due to the global pandemic, while we certainly wish we could guarantee delivery dates, in this current world climate, delivery dates is something that we cannot guarantee, nor does Blankstyle claim or display a guaranteed delivery date because we understand this is not a realistic expectation.
In addition to our shopping cart displaying the dates as estimated, we also have a large disclaimer banner at the top of the shopping cart, prior to checking out, that states the following:
"Due to shipping and processing delays as a result of the recent global health event, delivery times may be extended from those you see estimated in the shopping cart. Delivery estimates are based on transit times carriers provide us with and are not currently taking into account holiday delays or delays related to Covid-19. Please anticipate a delay in delivery we are very sorry for the inconvenience and will continue to work hard in getting orders out as fast as we are possibly able to"
At Blankstyle our goal is to ship orders as soon as possible. This customer placed an order on 2/7 that shipped to the customer on the east coast from our California warehouse. The customer received the package within 5 days of placing the order. We feel this is a reasonable amount of time for delivery, providing it shipped from coast to coast during a time of a global pandemic.
We are always happy to take in and consider a customer's deadline should they have an important date they are trying to meet. Once we are made aware of an important date or deadline, we will try and find a way to make it work if possible, however we were not made aware of any deadlines prior to this order being placed, or within the order comments when the customer checked out.
When the customer chatted in to share his frustration, we definitely were open to helping him and the order was escalated to management. Management reached out via phone call on the same day and offered this customer further assistance. We have yet to hear back from this customer but are still willing and would be happy to assist further.
