I tried to buy something online to pick up at the store yesterday. They were giving me $7.00 if I bought something $7.00 or more.
I spent a half hour picking out something. ($29.00 pink fabric bins for $7.99 on clearance...good deal!) I bought 2.
I drove to the store to pick it up, waited forever for them to find it while customers went ahead of me in line ....they didn't find it. It was at another store....an hour away. Another half hour lost.
Called customer service to cancel the order and get money back. Spent 20 minutes explaining to a person who had poor English skills. Refused to refund...he said I must contact the store and cancel the order there. 10 more minutes lost while I protested and was sent to another person who could not help as they only handle large appliances.
Grit my teeth, called the correct store to cancel the order. They couldn't find the order either. They suggested calling customer service. Nope, been there, they won't do it I had to cancel with the store. Now no one knows where my order is. Manager said they would call and find the order and call me back. 12 hours later. No call. No bins, no refund.
Oh, and I didn't get the $7.00 off either when they processed the order.

Wow what a frustrating experience. Did you pay with credit card and you can dispute the charges and get your money refunded?

yes,I paid with paypal, no problem there, but it was the frustration that got me! I wanted them to just mail them to me or to the closest store but I don't want a delivery while I'm gone so I have to cancel.

@Jeanniemaries It is incredible how poor customer service is becoming in every sector of the industry.

Yes, it was. I'm going to call customer service tomorrow because I gave them all day today to resolve it and they did not.

Thanks for noticing I haven't been here. Just got swamped. I'll be away for awhile again but will try to be better about checking in. I missed everyone!

That is very frustrating. A whole lot of time wasted for nothing.

They should have went out of their way to accommodate you
at the store you were in. I'm sure it's because of being so close to Christmas, they must have been slammed! At least I hope so.

I was surprised they did not offer to do anything, but then again, I really don't want anything, just resolution.

@Jeanniemaries Yes that's right! Untrained employees! And horrible service.

My next step is to contact the district manager. I gave them all day today to resolve it and they didn't.

I hope it was just someone new that has a lot to learn yet. Everyone has to start somewhere.

@Jeanniemaries I hope you get it! No luck, yet, I suppose.

I'm just hoping he was new. Maybe I helped him understand something new.
