Hi Eric,
We're sorry that we were unable to meet your expectations for delivery, but do want to outline a few of the issues with your purchase since you chose to leave a one-star review. First, we did not lie about the availability of your desk; you placed an order at 11:45pm on a Monday evening when our warehouse was closed for the night, and our team got that desk palletized and picked up by FedEx on Tuesday, the next day. This is confirmed by the FedEx tracking number we sent you that shows "We have your package" at midnight that same day, which would be that Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. So FedEx picked the truck up from our warehouse Tuesday evening, and scanned your desk in with the remainder of our shipments that night, but your claim is that we didn’t ship the desk for three days, which is false.
At this point, you had been harassing our support team, stating if the desk did not arrive in the outlined three-to-five-day timeframe that you were going to refuse the desk delivery, file a chargeback, and that you planned to start leaving negative reviews on all the platforms available. The item was en route, but we can not control FedEx, so there is always the chance that they have delays due to weather, or any of the several reasons packages get delayed, which is why the three-to-five-day window is an ETA, like most delivery timeframes you get in online purchases.
Given you began abusing both our support team, and our support management, we chose to have the desk returned to our warehouse with FedEx and process a refund for you, as we didn't feel you were going to be happy with anything we had offered, or could offer, given you were upset the desk shipped out within a day and was in transit. You went so far as calling our support agent stupid, called them a “piece of s***” unprovoked, and then went on to claim that you “had very good connections on NBC consumer reports” and would send them all of our emails, which we hope that you do because we want them to see how you speak to customer service agents who have done nothing wrong.
We did choose to return the merchandise and get you your money back so that you could make a purchase elsewhere in the hopes that you would find someone who could meet your demands and timeline while tolerating the abuse, but we will not be party to that kind of behavior with our support team given they had done nothing wrong, and were actively trying to help you with the delivery and timelines you had demanded.
Your refund has been processed now that the desk is on it’s way back to our warehouse, and we hope that you have the best of luck in any future purchases you make, but please try and have some kind of empathy for the people on the other end of the emails and phone calls that you make, as you are not more important than them, nor are you entitled to speak to anyone that way.
Have a wonderful remainder of your day, and best of luck on the hunt for a new desk!
Sincerely,
Zuri Furniture Support
