Letter has been written. I'll have to print it off and find an envelope, then go to the post office at some point today. I think I'll take off work early, since the boss is OUT. D

I just sent the letter out today, certified (just for proof).

Spending $2.30 for a $250 gc is NOT a huge deal for me.

So far (for the Fendi) only those who have sent letters have gotten anything shipped. I'm hoping that I'll hear something back soon.

I hadn't seen his post where he verifies he received anything. I was in SHIPPED status for 3 months (since Feb 16), so he could have just stated he was shipped, but still not receive anything.

Wood, if you're around, please confirm or deny receiving anything?

Also, have you submitted a customer service inquiry about your status?

I received an Ashford.com $250 gift certificate about a week ago in replace of the Fendi Handbag.

I submitted a customer service inquiry after about a month of processing.
They replied in about a day saying they apologized for the delay and that a gift certificate would be on its way to me soon. (I posted the exact CS quote in another thread).

Let me know how it works out for you.

Cheers,

Damn...when I submitted a CS inquiry, I got the canned response "please don't ask us to tell you when you'll be shipped, etc." So yesterday, I sent a typed letter via first class mail - certified.

I'll keep everyone updated.

Actually, I just checked my email and got this

RealtorKen,

Due to difficulties with fulfilling your handbag order and per your request, we are sending you a $250 Ashford.com gift certificate. It should ship from Ashford.com within the next 1-2 days.

[/quote5eaaae0090]

I had sent in a service ticket and said if it is more convenient I would be more than willing to accept an Ashford GC instead. I guess it worked!

pho32

18-05-2005 17:46:26

Nope! wrong!
I got the same email, guess everyone gets the GC...
"To me -

Due to availability problems with your particular handbag via our Fendi vendor,
we will be sending you a $250 Ashford.com gift certificate. It should ship out
from Ashford.com within the next 1-2 days. Thank you for your patience and we
sincerely apologize for not being able to fulfill your original request.

Ok, I replied with this

"I have sent a first class, certified letter to Peter Martin regarding this issue. Thank you for NOT taking the time to look into this, considering I have been in shipped status for THREE months. - Jade Cloud"

Edited Oops, actually sent it twice. Oh well. Not like they'll do anything anyway.

I just got a PERSONAL response via email to my letter. I'm getting my gift card.

This is my favorite part

"We both equally sympathize with you on the slow turnaround time and your ultimate non-receipt of your deserved free handbag. A 3-4 month turnaround time for a product to ship is just absolutely unacceptable in our minds. As Internet Operations Supervisor, one of my immediate goals is to greatly reduce the turnaround time of product receipts to our valued customers who have successfully completed all necessary requirements for our free products. We not only apologize for the fulfillment issues regarding your free handbag, but also on the automated and lack of quality of replies from our customer service department that did not adequately address or answer your inquiries. Again, as Internet Operations Supervisor, I will also be working feverishly to improve the quality and efficiency of our customer service responses to inquiries such as yours."
