Happy Returns
Dear Customer Service:
I recently ordered two necklaces as gifts. However, when they arrived one of the necklaces was broken. Since the breakage appeared to be due to poor quality, I am returning both necklaces. Please email me the return label, as described on your website.
Thank you,
Nancy Roman
Dear Ms. Roman:
We are so sorry you were disappointed by your purchase. We will send you a replacement necklace for the broken one. We are happy to hear that the other necklace met with your satisfaction.
Sincerely, Customer Service
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
Dear Customer Service:
I do not want a replacement necklace. The other necklace did not meet with my satisfaction. I would like to return both necklaces for a full refund. Please send me the required return label.
Thank you,
Nancy Roman
Dear Ms. Roman:
We are sorry for the misunderstanding. Can you send me a picture of the damaged necklace?
Sincerely, Customer Service
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
Dear Customer Service:
I am attaching a picture of the damaged necklace. Please send me a return label so I may return both the broken necklace and the other necklace which I no longer want.
Thanks, Nancy
Dear Nancy:
You do not need to return the damaged necklace, so there is no need for a return label. We have issued you a refund for the broken necklace.
Sincerely, Customer Service
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
Customer Service:
Thank you for providing the refund on my account. I believe I still need a return label for the undamaged necklace that I no longer want. Please refund my account for BOTH necklaces.
Nancy Roman
Dear Nancy:
This is Geoff, part of the Crackerjack team. I apologize for the misunderstanding. You are correct. You will need to return the undamaged necklace in order to receive a refund for that necklace.
Sincerely, Geoff

Dear Geoff:
There is no return label attached to your email. Will the return label come in a separate email?
Thanks, Nancy Roman
Dear Nancy:
Sorry about that. Here is the return label.

Dear Geoff:
Sorry, but there is no return label attached.

Dear Nancy,
Oops. How about now?
Geoff

Hi Geoff:
Yes, thanks for the return label. However, in today’s mail, I received ANOTHER necklace. I do not wish to replace the broken necklace. I want a full refund for both necklaces.
Nancy
Dear Nancy:
I’m sorry. I don’t know how that happened. Please be assured that we did not charge your account for the replacement necklace. If you have not returned the original necklace, please just include the additional necklace with the same return label.
Apologies, Geoff
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
Dear Geoff:
Thank you for all your help. I am returning both the second and third necklaces, but per your instructions, I am not returning the damaged one. Please ensure that I have not been charged for ANY of the three necklaces.
Nancy
Hi Nancy:
Sorry for the all the confusion, as soon as we received the merchandise, your account will be refunded in full.
Geoff
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
Geoff:
I just opened the mail and surprise! A FOURTH necklace! I am now beginning to wonder whether I have entered the Twilight Zone. Will I be receiving a necklace every day for the rest of my life?
Nancy
Dear Nancy:
OMG! I can only apologize again. This is certainly some kind of glitch in the system. If you have already returned all the other necklaces, please just throw the new one away.
So Sorry,
Geoff
Satisfaction Guaranteed!

It will be interesting to hear if you get any more little orange packages after this post. Sounds like they may have had to much eggnog over the Holidays. But, hey, they are “The Crackerjack Team”. Seriously at first I thought you were telling us they were in a box of Crackerjacks.

I ripped half my hair out by the second response from the Crackerjack Team. Makes me wonder how much these items are worth when they tell you to ‘throw away” an item.
Remind me never to order anything which may potentially break in shipment. 😀

Rest assured those necklaces had no value at all. The boxes they sent them in were the most expensive part of the shipments.
