Miracle at [Company] - How a cc declined saved the day!

Click For Summary
A recent experience highlighted the efficiency and customer service of a company in relation to an urgent order needed for a fundraising event. After a show totaling $755 was delayed due to a declined credit card, the host contacted headquarters for assistance. Despite initial concerns about shipping delays, a representative escalated the issue, resulting in the company agreeing to ship the order via second-day air, ensuring timely delivery in Florida. This event not only satisfied the principal involved but also led to positive sentiments about the company's reliability. Additionally, the host secured two new bookings for November, further indicating a successful business momentum and appreciation for the company's support. Overall, the scenario underscores the company's commitment to customer satisfaction and the potential for future growth.

I posted today that I'm bummed but I was reassured why I love this company so much!! I did a show for my principal and it was $755 and I submitted it last Thursday. I NEED this show delivered by Saturday because all of her free product credit was used towards a big raffle basket to raise money for the MSABC walk. (the basket will have $295 in products because I bought the saute pan to add to it and my host bought the DCB combo set in the back!)

Well a cc declined and it held up the show for a day. (I got home after work and immediately checked to make sure it was cleared) I called HO to make sure the show was released and it was so they told me to call back on Monday to check on it. I called yesterday and this nice lady told me that it didn't look like it would ship in time b/c they are still working on shows from the 30th. She said that she would forward this to her supervisor because of what we're using it for.

Flash forward to today~I got a call back from Rebecca from HO and she said that her supervisor made an exception this ONE time and is shipping it 2nd day air!! I'll have the stuff on Thursday here in FLORIDA!!

Can you believe it? My principal is happy and so am I!!!! :D
 
that is great. Way to go HO!
 
Wow-that's awesome!!
