Dear Ryan,
You are correct that your parcel was delayed, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. To be fully transparent, your order was placed during the last week of November and delivered in the first week of January—approximately one and a half months at the worst. During this time, we remained in communication with you and consistently responded within 24 hours. However, our preferred method of communication is email, as we do not offer 24h phone support and we are in different time zone to you. These are iPhone cases, after all—not medicine or high-value equipment that requires immediate attention.
As we explained, the first parcel was unfortunately mishandled by USPS and subsequently lost. You were able to track this progress and see the issue for yourself. We also uploaded the tracking for the second shipment just before the New Year, and it was delivered within seven business days, which is expected for free shipping during this busy time of year.
You are now requesting a refund without returning the item because of the delay, but this request should have been made before we shipped the second parcel. As for the issue with Affirm, it’s important to clarify that you are in a direct contract with us, and disputes should be handled through your bank or our payment processor on Shopify. Affirm is not involved in this transaction, nor does it make sense for them to mediate this issue—it’s akin to asking the Philippines to settle a dispute between Portugal and Italy.
Regarding your parcel, you are welcome to return it for a full refund, which we are more than happy to provide.
We did incur significant losses on parcels mishandled by USPS in December. To be honest, such service levels are something I’d expect from a third-world country, not from a nation often referred to as the “leader of the free world.” That said, this is not your concern, nor should it be. I share this only to provide context: this was a force majeure situation, and we did the best we could by promptly reshipping your parcel, which explains why it took about 40 days for the item to reach you.
Once again, I sincerely apologize for the delay and inconvenience. I hope you can see this situation from our perspective as well, and I thank you for leaving us a fair review. If there is anything else we can do to make this right for you, please let us know via email, and we will respond 100%.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
MaxPureCases Team
