Around 4:45am of 21st of May, I've received my last chat customer. My work shift will end at 5:00am. However, it didn't end at 5:00am. The query is all about my customer didn't received the parcel on expected delivery date. And even a day after. Then on the 3rd day after the expected delivery date, the customer was on the vacation. Then after her vacation, her parcel was returned back to the warehouse. The process for this is to refund the customer in which I did. Customer accepted the refund. However, for inconvenience she asked for some discount in the next order. As per our process, we can only provide a 15% discount for full priced items only with expiration to use 3 weeks from now. In which, if you don't order after 3 weeks, that discount will be invalid. Customer didn't accept the restriction. I explained about it. Still not accepting the resolution I've provided. Until she's asking for a supervisor. My immediate supervisor already been out. I asked some help from a different supervisors from a different teams. However, none of them accepted my customer's need to chat with them. It took me more than 15 minutes to explain to the customer that I'm still looking for a supervisor. She's willing to wait. And no one still wanted to takeover my chat. My last customer. Until I decided to inform the customer that no one is available as of the moment, she can contact in the next few hours and I gave her chat reference number. Customer didn't respond until chat disconnected. The chat conversed with 45 minutes in which I had an overtime of 30 minutes. Although, the overtime has an extra pay, however, the ranking of assisting a customer for more than 30 minutes will affect my performance ranking. We should have customers at least 4 customers in one hour. The worst thing here is a possibility of my customer will provide dissatisfaction survey against me. I'm hoping that she'll not provide a survey against me.

Sometimes something like that happens and your supervisor should realize that and not count it against you. I contacted an Amazon Customer Service person today and talked with him for almost an hour. I use the Kindle app on my phone to read ebooks. When I added ebooks to my account a few days ago I received an email that said I'd need to switch to .epub ebooks instead of .mobi ebooks, which doesn't make sense since .mobi is the type of ebooks made for the Kindle reader. The Customer Service person couldn't figure it out, either, so escalated my problem to his supervisor, who wasn't available until Saturday.

@luisga814 Yes, I understand. I think their supervisor should have helped you.

To tell you honestly, we have available supervisors in other team. It is just, when we notify them, they're sort like they're busy doing important task. I understand them that they don't want to assist me because I'm from other team. They need to focus to their own team. What I'm frustrated at, when their representatives needed manager in their absence, my immediate supervisor attended their need. You know what I mean.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. This sounds really frustrating on your part. Hope there's a way for you to provide explanation for this outcome as it is definitely not your fault.

Yes. I do understand it's not my fault. However, it seems my fault also of not able to provide the needs of my customer.

@luisga814 I know. There must be a way to improve that. Do you practice incident reporting in your job?

I understand how you feel. I did it for six years and it's not a job I'd ever want. You did your best, and that's all you can do.

I'm sorry that your customer was not agreeable to your terms and that the customer kept you on the phone so long.
