Worst Customer Service among Childrens Retailers
I placed 2 orders (one from Childrens Place and the other from Sugar & Jade) that were shipped together. My package is lost and customer service refuses to help resolve my issue with reordering. I spent a total of 2 hours on the phone getting nowhere. The first attempt to contact them I was told to wait 10 days since the last package scan and call back. I waited the necessary time frame and was asked to wait another week which is unacceptable at this point. The website allows me to request a refund, but for reshipment at no cost to me it instructs me to request a refund and reorder the items or call customer service for assistance. I wouldn’t have a problem with this except I used a $5 reward on one order and a $10 promo code I received via text message on the other order. By requesting a refund, I lose the $15 promotional credits. Customer service refused to help me reorder because rewards and promo codes can’t be reissued. They also said if I reorder the same items, they can’t manually apply the discounts as a refund. I should NOT legally lose promotional value since this is not a return and I am just trying to get the same items I ordered. I earned the reward and the $10 text promo shouldn’t be wasted because of items not received which is not my fault. All of their direct competitors provide far superior customer service in situations like this! Childrens Place does not care about customer satisfaction or retention for that matter. Customer service is located in Columbia and the agents including a supervisor and manager I spoke with basically read from a script in a robotic way without helping. I messaged on Facebook and sent an email in hopes of receiving assistance with placing my reorder, but have not received a response. What is the point of outsourcing an entire department that does not even come close to fulfilling the expectation of what customer service is??
