so long. I am missing a an item from my shipment. How lomng does it usually take?
 
Are they offering the option of a call-back? That's the best bet.
 
I used the call back today and waited about 2 hours for a call back and then finally after being on for 45 minutes they got the issue resolved.
 
You can do that as an adjustment on CC. Just go to the adj. page. Enter in your show number (cooking show #5 would be K0005, for example). Then it'll list all the items attributed to that show. Just click on the one you're missing and click "add item", then it'll ask you what was wrong. I believe the first option is "item missing from order" or something like that. You can have it shipped to you, the host, or enter in the address for the guest. Then click all the confirming buttons as you are prompted. Once it's complete, you'll get a confirmation e-mail with a reference number. Hope that helps!
 
I just do mine online! So much easier!
 
I would def try to do it online it you can
 
do it online.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my customer service call taking so long?

Customer service calls can take longer than expected due to high call volumes, complex issues that require detailed explanations, or the need to consult with other team members for resolution. We appreciate your patience as we work to assist you thoroughly.

Are there specific times when customer service is busier?

Yes, customer service tends to be busier during peak hours, such as evenings and weekends, as well as during promotional events or product launches. Calling during off-peak hours can help reduce wait times.

What can I do while waiting on the line?

While waiting, you can gather any relevant information related to your inquiry, such as order numbers or product details. This can help expedite the process once you reach a representative.

Is there a way to get a callback instead of waiting on hold?

Some customer service lines offer a callback option. If available, you can request a callback instead of waiting on hold, allowing you to continue with your day while waiting for assistance.

How can I provide feedback about my customer service experience?

We value your feedback! After your call, you may receive a survey via email or text message. Please take a moment to share your thoughts, as this helps us improve our service.
