What Customer Service Should Be
I placed an order on Chewy.com today for something I need in a jiffy. Since I was only charged $4.95 in shipping for this large item, I thought I was going to have to wait forever for it to arrive. I called their customer service line to find out about shipping times. First of all, a real (and polite) human being answered the phone right away. I was astonished when he told me my order would arrive in a day or so. Later that day, I found another item on their website that I wanted to order. (I'm currently caring for a gravely ill cat.) I called to see if it could ship with my existing order. Another friendly service rep, Courtney, told me the order from earlier that day had already shipped, but she would be happy to waive my shipping fee for the second item as a one time courtesy! I was speechless. Nobody else does this. I took her up on the offer. When I went to give her my credit card information, I didn't even have to open my purse, she already had it there on file. This is what customer service should look like. UPDATE 8/21/14: I want to stress again how amazing this company is. My cat passed away, so I no longer needed the supplement that had just arrived a week or so prior. The service rep said my full purchase price would be refunded immediately and told me I did not need to return the product, but encouraged me to donate it to an animal shelter. She also expressed sincere condolences. Yet again, I'm speechless.
