Top-notch customer service & price; needs improvement in web-based customer interface
We have ordered cat food via Fuzzy. Their price is great, and the first shipment came very quickly. The recent logistics issue has hit Fuzzy hard as it has other companies, however, and we encountered delays in order shipments. Fuzzy's customer service has always been eager to help when we contacted them, offering refunds very willingly if requested. While the company's customer service is excellent and we do not blame Fuzzy for the shipment delays, we feel that the company can improve the technological side of it, especially in the customer interface. These are the pain points that we have experienced and felt the need for improvements: (a) Fuzzy's app is not useful unless you are a paying member for their veterinary-related services (non-vet retail customers are kept out of the app that demands a vet membership up front); (b) Outside of the app, it is not possible to set up an online account (there is no option for it on the website); (c) Because you do not have the power to set up a web-based account and you cannot use the app unless you sign up for the vet services membership, the only way for a non-vet member retail customer to know whether a particular transaction has gone through is a confirmation e-mail (which, by the way, does come in promptly; (d) Likewise, there is no way to check the current status of an order (e.g., pet food) online if you cannot use the app. This lack of the web-based customer interface is a serious oversight, in our opinion. We understand that these days much is being done on apps, and that is fine. But since the company's app is only available to use by customers who are veterinary service members, those of us who are not using the vet service are at a serious handicap. Fuzzy needs to work on the customer interface on the website. Otherwise, we have experienced a wonderfully attentive and friendly customer service with Fuzzy. Their chat service works very well, and e-mail inquiries receive responses quickly. We just need a better web-based customer interface to give Fuzzy a 5-star rating.
