Repulsive customer service from rep and manager
Please consider not supporting a company that condones repulsive treatment towards their customers...
I just hung up with manager Brooke. My experience with both the customer service representative and Brooke was hands down THE worst customer service experience I have ever had.
The representative did not want to get a manager on the phone, I had to ask many times. He tried to argue with me and demand that I explain why. I literally had to demand back to speak with a manger which I should have not had to do nor should I have to over explain my reasoning.
Brooke answered the phone hot, I would describe the tone in her voice as aggressive, and irritated she was ready to battle. In hopes of diffusing her I started the conversation by thanking her for taking my call. Unfortunately, that did not work. She had her decision made, her pre scripted answer was ready to go.
After placing my order I called to make sure I chose the proper shipping, I was assured Tuesday when I ordered my leggings and again on Thursday when I called again that I would receive my shipment today (Friday) unfortunately, it was shipped out yesterday ups will be delivering it to me on Monday. I rushed the order because I will be out of town. I spoke with ups- they contacted the distribution center and would have been willing to intercept the package to ship it overnight to me. What they needed and said any company can do is upgrade the shipping label. I attempted explained this to manager Brooke. She said in her two yrs. of working at Spanx she had never heard of such a thing. She continued to repeat “we can not do that” as a person who has been a manager and now business owner for over 12 years her horrible attitude and pre package answer sounds like “I am not willing to TRY to correct or amend the matter”. I again asked Brooke if she would kindly just try, call the manager at the shipping center and simply ask. Yes, she has not uncountered a request like this, but, that does not mean it is impossible. This was in no way an unreasonable request. I had ups on another phone while speaking with Brooke, they were happy to walk through how to upgrade the label. I would have been happy to pay the difference although I do not think I should have. She and I went round and round. Not only was I not heard, but, there was absolutely no effort to simply try to see what she could do.
I had to similar issue with Rei the customer service representatives first response was let me see what I can do— they called ups and figured it out to amend the issue. They went above and beyond.
If any one of my clients is unhappy, or an issue arises “I can’t” is NEVER the response.
Both the customer representative and Brooke’s disgusting tone, and unwillingness is 100% inappropriate.
I love and enjoy all the spanx products I have previously purchased. I can honestly say after this experience if I order another product I will never order from the site and seriously think twice before purchasing anywhere else. I was super excited for the leggings. Based on the phone call I will return them because I do not want to support a company that supports the repulsive treatment that I received.
I sincerely hope that my complaint is heard, and Brooke is properly reprimanded.
