kohls MISS INFORMATION
On the evening of December 13th, I visited my local Kohl's store in the DFW area to look for a snow boots that I had saw online. After finding an associate to help me we realized that none of the DFW area stores received this particular snow boot. So she suggested that I order the boots at the kiosk in the store to avoid the shipping charge. I thought that this was a great idea at the time however, I inadvertently gave the wrong shipping address for the order. The associate said no worries and gave me the phone number for Kohls.com. When I called Kohls.com the automated service said unfortunately you could not change a shipping address on any ordered product in approximately 30 minutes after purchase. Long story short, I called the phone number and it took me four minutes to actually speak to a human being. Once I was connected it was some one with a foreign accent that I could barely understand. At this time it had been 18 minutes from the time that I actually purchased the boots. Well within the 30 minute approximate window that they give for changing shipping addresses. I gave the customer service rep all of the vital information that she needed and she then told me the computer would not let her change the mailing address. I asked for supervisor and she told me that there were none available. Then she went on to tell me that she could just cancel the order and change the address. What that meant was they would hold my funds hostage for up to two weeks and I would have to re-purchase the product in order to change the mailing address. And if I chose to cancel the order they would charge me any extra fees associated with the product for their inconvenience. I would not recommend Kohls.com to anyone that makes mistakes because Kohls does not help people resolve their mistakes they actually punish you for making mistakes on this online service. The reason that I'm writing this post is because Kohls should not put on their automated line that you can change your mailing address within a certain time. And we know now that as soon as they take your money the order is processed. But that is not what their automated service said Kohls needs to fix their automated system to reflect what really happens in real time when you place an order on their website. I give Kohls.com a 0/5 in customer service satisfaction. I give the associate that helped me on my call a 0/5 in customer service because only thing she could do is read from a script and drop me into a on/hold black hole instead of providing me with someone that might've been able to escalate or figure out a way to help me change this mailing address within 15 to 20 minutes of a purchase. PLEASE DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE ON KOHLS.COM BECAUSE IT WILL COST YOU YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!
