Eden Mail Order

PO Box 34

New London, CT 06320

 

Dear Sirs,

 

I recently ordered several items from the Eden Mail Order Fall catalog. This is the first time that I have used your services. Although one of my acquaintances warned the that she had experienced problems with your company, I put it down to her bad luck, and, attracted by the designs of your products, placed an order of my own using the order form enclosed with the catalog.

As a first-time customer, I was entitled to free delivery on orders of over $50. I easily qualified for this, but on receiving my credit card statement, I discovered I had been charged $20 for delivery. Despite three phone calls to your customer service agents, this has yet to be rectified. Next, of the five items which I ordered, three were the wrong color, and four were the wrong size. Again, despite several phone calls, I am still waiting for replacements.

I am willing to give Eden one more chance, but if these problems have not been resolved before the

end of the month, I will be demanding a refund and will be informing the Better Business Bureau.

 

Sincerely,

Sarah Martin

Dear Ms. Martin,

 

On behalf of Eden Mail Order, I offer our sincerest apologies for all the trouble you have had with your order. As you may know, Eden is a new business, and while this does not excuse incompetence, we have had a lot of problems and have made a lot of mistakes due to our lack of experience. We have now changed our supplier and as of next week, will be using the services of a different delivery company. We hope that this will eliminate errors of the kind you experienced.

I have contacted your credit card company to remove the delivery charges, and I am confident that you

will have your complete order within the next two days. To thank you for your patience and understanding,

please find enclosed a $50 gift voucher, redeemable for items in any of our catalogs.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience which you may have suffered.

 

Sincerely,

Laura French
