Loads of emails saying my order…

Loads of emails saying my order acknowledged,being packed and would be on its way.
The next day I got an email saying "Oops sorry we haven't got those products right now"
They did offer an immediate refund or I could wait for the stock to come back in.

Hi Judith,

I’m really sorry that the service you received fell very short of the standard we aim to deliver.

I’ve looked into the case and can see, as you mentioned, that the automated communications were sent out initially. Unfortunately, the office was then informed that the Pipers Jalapeño crisps were affected by a manufacturing issue, which meant stock levels unexpectedly dropped to zero while your order was still able to complete.

I truly apologise for the disappointment and confusion this caused. While we did offer an immediate refund or the option to wait for stock to return, I completely understand how frustrating this experience must have been.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it’s genuinely appreciated and helps us improve our processes.

The only problem is that after all…

The only problem is that after all these years you have deleted me as a customer. Well, to be fair JLB has responded at once and resolved the problem which was probably down to computer error

Reply from J L Brooks

Hi Wayne,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re very sorry for the confusion and frustration caused by the cancellation of your order without clear communication.

After looking into this, it appears the issue was due to a training oversight with one of our newer team members. This has now been addressed, and our procedures reinforced to prevent this happening again.

The cancellation was necessary because the Lister’s Chorizo we had in stock was very short-dated, and no fresh stock was due to arrive within a suitable time frame. However, we should have communicated this clearly to you, and we sincerely apologise for not doing so.

Thank you again for your feedback and understanding.

Kind regards,

Hi Max,

I’m so sorry to hear that you were disappointed and that you didn’t see any of my emails informing you of the issues we were experiencing due to the extreme weather conditions we recently had, including Storm Goretti. It’s such a shame to receive a disappointed review when these delays were unfortunately out of our control, and some communications were missed along the way.

I do hope you enjoy the Pomme Bears, and thank you again for your order. Your custom is very much appreciated, and we hope to provide a smoother experience for you in the future.
