Hi Linda,
Thank you for your feedback. While we value all our customers, we feel it is necessary to address the pattern of behavior surrounding your orders over the past two years, as it impacts not only our business but also the fairness we strive to uphold for all customers.
In 2023, you placed a Christmas order for 5 items, despite being informed of potential holiday delivery delays. After the package arrived later than expected, you demanded a partial refund, threatening to leave a negative review and dispute the charge if we did not comply. Although the circumstances were beyond our control, our customer service team, in good faith, honored your request as a gesture of goodwill.
This year, in December 2024, you again placed a late holiday order, this time for 6 items. Once again, we informed you at the time of purchase that the package might not arrive by Christmas and even offered to cancel and refund your order upfront. You chose to proceed with the purchase. Despite this, you later demanded once again an order refund, citing dissatisfaction with the delivery timing and threatening to post a negative review, file chargebacks, and escalate the matter publicly. Once again, and against our policy, our team provided a partial refund.
While we always aim to resolve genuine customer concerns, it’s clear this pattern of ordering late during the busiest season, ignoring delivery warnings, and subsequently making refund demands under threat of negative reviews or chargebacks is not acceptable.
We pride ourselves on transparency and fairness, and we made every effort to communicate the holiday shipping situation clearly both years. Moving forward, we urge you and all customers to place orders earlier during peak seasons to avoid potential delays and unnecessary frustrations.
We have resolved this matter in good faith, but we must firmly state that we cannot accommodate further refund demands under similar circumstances. We are committed to providing excellent service to all customers while maintaining fairness and integrity in our policies.
Thank you for your understanding.
