Customer Appreciation

Jump to Comments

I ordered something from the Company Store at the end of last year.  They had a great sale on bedding, and I ordered a rouge duvet cover and sheets.  The sheets were mailed to me immediately, but the duvet cover became backordered.  When I came back from China, they notified me that the cover was no longer available.  I only bought the sheets to match my duvet cover, so it was no use to me.  Frustrated, I wrote an email to the company, detailing my account.  I wish they would have informed me of the nonavailability sooner.  Afterall, it’d been three months since I placed my initial order.

So in February, I mailed back the sheets, with a postage paid label they sent to me.  They credited the money.  End of transaction, right?  It was a great experience, but at least I was credited the $17 for the sheets.

They surprised me today with a letter.
