Lionell
Post-Delivery FeedbackDec 9, 2025
Lionell provides confirmations of customer assumptions. What he does NOT provide is Customer "Support". After waiting for over 188 minutes for a chat window that was disconnected, he reached out to let me know what I believed was true (an item that the website showed in stock would not add to my cart because it was, in fact, out of stock). A) that's a backend issue that's easily resolved with inventory management software. B) Lionell provided zero empathy nor expressed any sentiment or ownership of the issue on Yankee Candle's behalf. Zero concession offered as a "let us make it right". Just confirmation of information I fed him. Period. I would not want Lionell to be the first point of customer contact for my company. With Yankee Candle being my favorite brand for years, it tainted how I feel about ordering from you guys now, to be honest. I now know that if I ever encounter another issue, I'm on my own to figure it out and will be left feeling like an undervalued customer whose money you're glad to take without hesitation while BIG hesitations are taken to reward that loyalty or any trouble encountered when your website misbehaves.
