If I would of known the $70+ order I placed was going to come out like this, I would of saved the money & had my 3 year old nephew Apollo do the job instead!
Story time!
I placed an online order on April 23rd for my adopt a senior's intended graduation date, June 6th. It was a delivery for a choc fruit platter (first image). Then I had called back about a week later to make some changes because I was informed my graduate wasn't a fan of chocolate. At first, I wanted to change the order entirely but the woman on the phone assured me that they could recreate it without the chocolate, no problem. & they even refunded me for the choc price, I was thrilled! Then the second image was sent to me. Initially, I tried really hard to justify it. Maybe I was just being nit-picky? But then I asked a friend , because I know she use to work at a separate location. & to put it nicely, that would of never been put out for delivery where she had worked. Many people who have seen the image have suggested I be refunded. So I reached out to customer service & woman from the this location by the name of Alyssa called me. She asked me to send her an image of what was delivered, & after viewing the second image & hearing how upset I was with the presentation as a whole she argued. & here are some of the things that she said/my thoughts on them-
1. "I'm here everyday, & I see all the deliveries that go out"
Ok, so you thought this was acceptable? Got it.
2. "I'm not understanding. Did she not like it? Did she eat it? Did she complain?"
I'm sure she ate most of it, with the exception of the hard pineapple cores & poor quality strawberries. & no she didn't complain. Do you complain when someone gives you a gift?
3. "The photos online are photographed professionally & used for marketing. & It's a fairly new tray for us. We tried our best & we did it custom for you"
Then don't try to make & sell them for profit! You are adults, & you should be producing quality work, not just "trying your best". I was fine changing the order entirely but I was assured it could be done without choc. I never asked for a custom order, you offered!
4. "Would you like us to try to remake it for her?"
She already graduated, it was sent as a surprise. It's a little late, don't ya think?
5. "The numbers look like that because there is no chocolate on them"
Nope, that's a lie! Maureen can also confirm that those were cut with the wrong tool & are definitely hard! I really hope you aren't covering cores with chocolate for people to bite into. Yuck
6. "I stand by the quality & freshness of our fruit. I just don't know what else I could do for you"
After that I told her that if that's how she truly felt & there was nothing she could do for me, she should have no problem with me sharing this story & the photos. read more
