Fastest Customer Service Ever or Maybe Not

I have just experienced a new record in customer service.

Here is what happened.

I sent an email to someone about something they were advertising for sale. It would have been an ongoing purchase. This is someone with a legitimate business.

(The names have been blurred so they do not feel bad when they see this. I am being vague about who it is because it is possible you know them.)


Here is a copy of the email with their answer on it.



That was when the message was sent.

Now I have had some people take a while to answer.

Some people never do answer. That is all part of doing business.

Here is when I got that reply.



That is right 2 years and 2 months later I got a reply saying they were sorry it took so long.

It took me awhile to stop laughing.

So I hope it brought a smile to your face and a lesson of what not to do.

Onward and Upward.

Hey, may have went out of business and decided to open the doors again! Funny!

No I know the place and they have been in business all this time.

Maybe they have realized that it's worth answering what they have ignored.

2

Hmmmm Maybe!

That is funny. Guess they finally got around to checking their inbox, LOL.

2

That gave a whole new meaning to not checking your emails.

1

WOW I'm speechless. I'm wondering if not responding at all might have been better under the circumstances.

3

Yes there was no way they were going to pull a sale out now even though they tried

LOL! 3X!

I agree

I am laughing. That is one for the record.

Beats Panera by far which has the worst customer service design of any store I have ever been. My little rant is over. I won;t complain about Panera again.

very funny....

I don't do Panera for that reason
