Inflexible and outdated system
I placed an order on Kiehl’s website today and redeemed my $40 voucher for the purchase. During payment, there was a technical problem and the payment was cancelled. When I tried to choose another payment method, I found that my order had already been cancelled and my cart emptied. When I attempted to place a new order, I realised my $40 voucher had disappeared. I contacted live chat and spoke with Tyler, who confirmed the order was cancelled due to unprocessed payment, and that the voucher would be returned only after 24 hours. I understand the order being cancelled — that’s fine — but making customers wait 24 hours to get their voucher back is unreasonable. Because of this, I cannot place my order today and will miss timely delivery, all due to an inflexible and outdated system. Very disappointing experience from a brand like Kiehl’s. This could be easily fixed if they had an instant voucher return process instead of making loyal customers wait unnecessarily.
