So 3 weeks before Christmas I purchased some underwear from Boux Avenue because they did a student discount for a short period. The website promised delivery in 1-3 days so after 9 days of no delivery I sent them an email asking where my underwear was. I did not receive a reply, and my items didn't arrive for 12 days. This alone irritated me, but a month after I had sent my complaint I received an automated email apologising that they had not replied to any emails over the festive period and asking their customers to resend their complaints. On top of this, the 'discreet brown box' delivery that I had asked for was not given to me. My items were delivered in bright pink packages with Boux Avenue's logo across the front. All in all, I was highly disappointed by the service I was given and will not be ordering from them again.
ASOS HAVE SOME OF THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER SEEN
Today I'm going to go through a recent experience I have had with ASOS. In case you don't know, they're an online retail company that specialise in fashion. Once you've made an account and placed 2 orders, you're also enrolled in a points based scheme called the ASOS A-List. You can level up based on the amount you spend (I'm actually due to go up another level, I'm just waiting for my points to clear.)
The problem
- You get a certain amount of free next day delivery codes as a perk of the A-List
- These were sent to my junk email, and Gmail deletes junk after 30 days
- There is no button to click to resend these codes, so I got in touch with their customer service
I spoke to Elizabeth, Jamie, Bernadette, Wasim, Amy and Thomas before my problem was dealt with. All of them seemed nice, but really, I don't want to need to get to know the whole of ASOS' customer service team.
The first email promised, from the bottom of ASOS' heart, that a 'specialist team' would be on the case and I'd have another reply within 48 hours.
Then I had the exact same email 50 hours later when I emailed asking where my codes were, promising that their 'specialist team' would do it within another 48 hours.
And another one 52 hours later...
Wasim was my fave though <3. He promised me that within 48 hours the 'relevant team' would work with him and he'd be back. Sadly he never got back to me :( but I did complete the survey he asked me to do (customer service was not rated well).
By the time Amy emailed me, she'd got confused and thought that I wasn't talking about delivery codes but a completely different thing. By this point, I wanted to give up but was so angry that I decided I WOULD get my codes, no matter what.
I also had decided to write a salty tweet, complaining about the constant putting-me-off with 48 hour deadlines. This was then picked up by the ASOS customer care twitter team, who asked me to DM them with all my details, which I did. Then they started looking into it, before telling me I should only contact them through one channel. Considering in my original tweet I had attached emails and I didn't know this one channel business, why couldn't they have just told me that straight away?!
Questions I will never know the answer to:
Why does it take a specialist team?
WHy does it take so long?
WHY couldn't I have my bloody codesssssss for so long, or why couldn't they generate some more?
