Company refused to replace a broken umbrella
I wish that I were able to give a higher rating, as the initial contact and ordering experience I had was good. We ordered umbrellas as a corporate gift for all our employees; however, one of the umbrellas was broken, and we did not order in excess of the number of attendees. I was offered a refund but was refused a new umbrella. This is an unacceptable outcome, as now a single employee does not have a gift, and him knowing that our company got some money back does not ameliorate that fact. I should also mention that I have not actually received a refund; rather, whenever I call, I am told by the account executive that she will check with production to see if they will print a new umbrella and call me back "if not today, tomorrow." I've been told that several times, never receive a call back, and have to call again only to be told the same thing. I understand that it is not cost effective or ideal to print a single custom umbrella; however, we were sent a defective product and it would be far more appropriate to dip slightly into their profit margin in this situation rather than refuse a replacement.
