Kohl’s, Thank You for Awesome Customer Service
Sent from reader, Amanda:
Collin-I wanted to drop you a quick email and tell you about my recent experience with Kohl’s.
I had a 40% off email code last week and browsed the Kohl’s app for 4 hours. I live in the central time zone so I knew I needed to submit my order by 11:59 that same night. I had 3 purses and 2 pair of pants, for my son, in my cart and had applied a 15% kids code and my 40% mystery code. As I was about to submit it, I decided to go back quickly and grab one more pair of pants for my son. My subtotal after sales and codes was $149.67. I submitted, but it got stuck. I waited for it to go through since I was at the last minute and when I realized it wouldn’t, I refreshed to try again. I had initially submitted at 11:57PM. When I refreshed, it went ahead and swapped over to the next day’s codes so I lost the 40% and the sale price on one purse that was $61.90, originally $109.
I called Kohl’s first thing the next morning to see if there was anything that could be done. They said they would be happy to help me since they were having system issues the night before and felt I was being truthful. (Thankfully, I had written down all the prices, on a piece of paper, when I saw it was stuck and the good prices were still on my screen).
The Kohl’s rep started helping me but their system was having trouble. The rep kept apologizing to me for it taking so long. In the end, my call lasted exactly 1 hour and 55 minutes but my total went from $261.72 to $153.92 because they honored their prices from the night before. So I saved $107.80 just by calling and explaining to them what had happened.
I thought that was pretty top notch for a onlinepany to devote a representative for 2 hours so I could save $107.80. I was impressed and very appreciative.
I wanted to share this with you in case you ever find yourself in a similar predicament and also because I believe people like to share only the bad things about a onlinepany but this is what really matters. At least to me!
I hope you have a wonderful day and I thank you for every dollar you have saved me for 10 years!! I found you really early on and you have made it possible for me to be a stay at home mom.
