Poor Pre-Sale Customer Service and Worse Conflict Resolution Satisfaction
I opened a chat session to ask about how to handle a special situation I needed in giving a picture cube as a gift. I asked how to pay and how my son would handle sending them the picture since I was letting him pick the picture he wanted etched. I had two quick responses from the rep, Christian, asking for me to send him the picture so he could check availability, which was the exact opposite of what I asked. Then, 30-seconds later I received a third response saying that since I hadn't responded yet the rep was logging out of the session. (I have the transcript with time stamps if anyone questions the legitimacy of my complaint.) I responded by asking for a supervisor to talk to about this. The rep's response was all of a sudden dealing with my actual questions. I explained it was too late for him to suddenly care and I was logging out. THEN!! I sent a complaint email to the company letting them know about the situation. I received a response FROM THE SAME REP from the chat session. So I have no idea knowing if their customer relations management ever saw my criticism. My idea is that if they're no better at handling my prepurchase questions, I can't trust them handling any issues after the sale. The other complaints in online forums regarding their poor post-sale customer service, I feel my concerns are well warranted. If anyone is interested in seeing my entire chat and email interactions, I've got it all to support my complaint.
