I ordered a banner online back in June, hoping it would be ready for our Womens Day program which was scheduled for June 30. I normally get emails telling me when its complete. This time I didnt receive an email saying it was ready. As it got closer and closer to our date I still hadnt received an email, so I go online to my account and I saw that the banner was "processing". I didnt think anything else about it.
Our Womens Day program got post poned to August 25 because the speaker had death in the family.
So I called Staples the 2nd week in July and spoke with the manager which was very polite and told him about the banner not being ready so he checked and said that it had just came in, I asked him why was it still saying "processing" I havent received an email stating that it was ready for pick up he stated that he didnt know, but I could pick it up anytime. I told the managaer ok, well everything worked itself out (so I thought) because our program got post-poned until the end of August I had time to pick it up.
Before I realized it two weeks had passed a RUDE girl calls my phone doesnt say hey how are you, my name is... she just says "when are you coming to pick up the banner? its been here over 30 days? I said wait a minute what. I ordered the banner over 30 days ago, but it hasnt been ready for 30 days, dismissing what I said she asks again, when are you coming to get it? I didnt like her attitude, nor her tone so I asked to speak to her supervisor. She put me on hold for about 2-3 minutes came back and said he was busy, either come up there, or call back in 30 min. I asked what her name was and she slam the down down in my ear.
I called back until I got someone, a man answered the phone I asked his name, and did he have a few minutes to hear what I had to say, he said yes I do and he listened to me, I explained what happened how rude this girl was to me and that she will cause the store to lose customers I always purchase banner's cards, etc from there and I dont appreciate the nasty customer service, come to find out he was the manager and he said he remembers speaking to me two weeks prior about the banner, he said maam, I apologize dont worry about it I got it from here pick it up when your ready.
I showed up to staples sooner than they thought and the rude girl I spoke with was the same one who checked me out, how do I know? because when I told her I was picking up a banner, there she went again... so you decided you dont want it? what are you talking about Im here to pick it up. I told her I spoke with the manager and we got this straightnened out and I told him about the rude girl who hung up on me, she says oh im so sorry, I said dont worry about it if it wasnt you... it was definately her. The manager made sure I got a nice discout, thank you!
