Learning from My First Month as Director: Dealing with Order Issues

In summary, the customer contacted the solution center about not receiving an item they ordered and it seems that the host's name was included in the email. The solution center told her that they could not find the order and then sent the order to the customer instead of the intended recipient. The customer was unhappy with this and contacted the director to resolve the issue. The director called the customer and resolved the issue.

Ok, so this my first month as a Director. And I have been totaling loving the HO leads, especially the random orders! Imagine my surprise this morning to wake up and find a rather irritated customer who copied me on some correspondence to the solution center. Apparently, she ordered some items and an item was not shipped. It was also supposed to be a direct ship for a Christmas gift. So, apparently (from the email trail) she contacted the solution center and they told her that they could not find where she ordered it - HO was looking under my very first COOKING show!!! They listed the host's name and everything!! Then it appears that they sent it, but to HER and not the direct ship address! UGHHH!!
So, what would you do? My own bad is that I have not contacted her after her order to check on things. Of course I do believe that she just ordered last week.
 
I would call her and apologize for the problems she has experienced and tell her that you will call HO tomorrow to see if you can help out.

Talk with a supervisor and suggest they send her a "sorry" gift. I would also suggest they resend the item to the correct address and send a pickup for the other one - of course they must promise immediate delivery of the other. They want our customers to be happy and she tried to resolve it before the 15th so I can't see why they wouldn't fix it. Once you have talked to HO and "resolved" it call her back and tell her what they told you. I would also send her a small gift from you - season's best or whatever you feel appropriate - for ordering through you.

Then call her again once the item is shipped and let her know it's on the way, then again when the item arrives to make sure all is well.

I don't call HO leads that often but when there's a problem I do so that they know I am on top of it - they do appreciate it! I had one with a problem recently and she was so happy. I have since received an order from someone she knows because of it and she said she will order from me again in January (no, no party but I'll take the sales...).
 
HO will definitely take care of this. Call them.
