Why not?
PLEASE....Don't express your apologies when they don't mean anything - it's insulting!
Change your POLICY because it is "RIDICULOUS!"...I digress:
You sent me a wrecked sock - it is snagged in a five spots and one very significantly, at approximately ½ inch length!
Also looks like someone tried to fix it - as there is grey material - when the sock is actually bright pink!!
Additionally, the snag is right by the heal - which will surely take off and make a hole!!!
So I get this sock. I call customer service to report. Then I have to send 3 pictures (which 1 should suffice - but I do it anyway)...no mention with "what" will be done? THEN I get a survey - Am I satisfied?...to which I respond - the girl was nice enough but no idea "if or what" was going to be done...so Questionable - to get a survey?? Then I get an email response to send the item back with the label that should come in 24-48 hours. I respond to the email and call back - Here's why/what I said:
So now I have to wait 24-48 hours for the return label. Then have to print the label (NOT everyone has a home printer!) - so have to go somewhere to get it printed...and because I've had to do this ONLY once EVER before - I know the cost. I live in the country, so You are asking for the socks (1 pair at $14, she said discounted to $12.73) to be sent back - which entails getting the label printed and paying for that, the gas to get there - nearest town is 45 miles - so the gas alone is more than the cost of the sock....Hmm??
But NO...WAIT - I have to re-order the sock (now at regular price!) and THEN let you know the order number - so you can reimburse shipping!
Are you beginning to see the ridiculousness of your policy?
Are you seeing how a customer - sent a defective product - is ALL for me to waste time/energy/vehicle cost/gas/etc. - for a $12.73 item?
It's a "STUPID" policy - that SHOULD be corrected...but NOOOOOO - the agents just repeat it over and over - like robots!
I asked to talk to a Supervisor (which she went on and off the call with...but came back to say "with the amount of calls - it would be 2-5 business days"), then AGAIN came back on the call offering 1st - 10% discount. So $1.27 cents on a defective item that is surely wrecked? 2nd offer - was for 20% off the next order...BUT had to be within 30 days.
What is this Car Salesman 101?
Since this was my 1st online order EVER with Roots, and it was a few things - prob. no need to order anything any time soon!
...and considering this experience - PROBABLY NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You see - this is how you lose customers - OVER SOMETHING SO RIDICULOUS, UNREASONABLE - WITHOUT THOUGHT OR COMMON SENSE!
Someone might say - "OMG, it's a sock, what's the problem?" the PROBLEM is: NOT taking responsibility, NOT being reasonable, NOT doing the "right" thing, NOT listening to customers and/or having any CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL!
THE POINT: You sent me a wrecked product, BUT THEN expect ME to jump through hoops to correct, and further correct (now at regular price) BUT you'll reimburse the shipping (so now pay 2 shipping: for the product to go back + to come to me again), or 1st offer $1.27 to keep the item or 2nd offer 20% off next order - but has to be in 30 days!
SO IN A NUTSHELL - WILL DO ALL THAT BUT "NOT" THE 1 THING I ASKED - COULDN'T YOU JUST SEND ME A PAIR THAT IS NOT WRECKED?
