I placed my order last Thursday, and as of right now it has not shipped. Most frustrating is that I've sent 3 emails, one per day, about and each time I was blown off and told that everything was fine and that my order would ship out soon. Tonight I learned that everything was not fine and that they've been having a problem at their warehouse in NJ for days. My printer shipped from TN, but everything that I actually need is coming from NJ and has not.
If there is a problem with a customer's order, and they write and call you about it, don't tell them everything is fine when it's not. First, my order should have been shipped by Friday, before the warehouse problem. Second, if I had known by Monday that I would not be getting my order this week, I would have cancelled it and ordered from somebody else. Also you could have shipped from another warehouse.
Keeping your customers in the dark about problems that you are having, so they can't cancel their orders, is NOT acceptable.
Worst of all is that Newegg has apparently no interest in making me happy.
Please keep in mind that I'm really rather frustrated at this point:
Please wait while we connect you to a Newegg representative.
Thank you for contacting Newegg. My name is Linda. How may I assist you today?
John: Hi Linda, I placed my order last Thursday, but it hasn't shipped yet. I've sent 3 emails about it, and called earlier today. I was assured on the phone that it would ship today, but it didn't.
John: Now with Friday being a holiday I'm likely to not even get my order this week either.
Linda: I am sorry to hear that. Please hold on for a while, I am checking it for you......
Linda: I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. In reviewing your account, I show that the order should be shipped in two packages. One package has been shipped on 6/29 with the tracking # ************. You may track it on www.ups.com . The other has been scanned by our warehouse on 6/29. This package will be delayed because the conveyor system in our warehouse has been malfunctioning since Sunday. However, the system was cleared this morning.
Linda: The package should be shipped out soon. Due to the delay, we would like to reimburse the shipping fee in the amount of $7.00 to you after the package is shipped.
Linda: I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
John: An upgrade to overnight shipping would make me happier than a $7 reimbursement. I have had everything else I need since Monday, and would really like my Newegg parts before the holiday weekend.
Linda: I am sorry, but we cannot change the shipping method to you because the order has been scanned by our warehouse.
John: When there was a problem at your warehouse, why wasn't I notified? I sent 3 emails about this, one per day, and each time was just told that everything was fine and it would ship out soon. I should have at least been told that there was a problem.
Linda: I apologize for that. I received the updated information about this issue just now.
John: But it's been a problem since Sunday right?
Linda: Yes, that is correct.
Linda: In addition, we have emailed our warehouse and request them to process the order for you as soon as possible.
John: I'm extremely dissatisified with this experience with Newegg and feel that there is little effort to rectify a mistake on Newegg's part. After the warehouse problem and lack of communication about it, a shipping upgrade is reasonable and receiving my order this week is really the only thing what would make me happy at this point.
Linda: I do apologize for the inconvenience. However, currently the system does not allow us to upgrade the shipping method because the order has been scanned and one of the packages has already been shipped. Currently, the only thing that we can do for you is to reimburse the shipping fee to remedy this issue and request our warehouse to ship the package for you in advance.
Linda: Please rest assure that we do would like to ship packages to customers in a timely manner.
John: I understand that it's been scanned, but they could put a new shipping label on it if they were really interested in rectifying the issue. But it sounds like I've gotten all that I will get on this. My constructive suggestion for Newegg, is to notify your customers when there is a problem with thier order so that they have the option to cancel the order and make other arrangements.
John: First, it was placed on Thursday, and should have gone out by Friday, before the problem. Second, if I had known by Monday that I would not be getting my order this week, I would have cancelled it and orderd from somebody else. Which is what I will be doing in the future.
John: Thank you for your time.
Linda: I apologize for that, but at this time, we cannot accommodate your request. We cannot make any change to your order now. I appreciate your understanding.
John: Have a good night.
Linda: I am so sorry. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
John: That's all.
Linda: Thank you for contacting us. Have a good night!
Thanks again for contacting Newegg. Once you know, you Newegg.
