Hi Emily,
Thank you for your kind reply, and for your patience throughout all of this.
Your refund is being processed now and will land back on your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days, exactly as I said.
I am glad we could finally get this sorted for you, and I am sorry again for how long it took to get here. If anything else comes up, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Warm regards,
Marlow

Reasoning: Customer is simply confirming she accepts and awaits the full refund already promised by the owner; continuing in owner voice and attaching the refund action so the operator executes it.

I'm getting increasing frustrated that my emails (numerous) plus my contact form enquiry are being ignored. I want to return my order #1616 please send me the return address. This really is poor customer services, especially after waiting so long for delivery.

Hi Emily,
Thank you for reaching out, and I am so sorry, both for how long this took to reach you and, honestly, for the silence on our end while you were chasing us. Emailing us that many times and feeling ignored is not the experience we ever want anyone to have, and I completely understand why you are frustrated. That one is on us.
I hear you that you would like to return order #1616 now that it has arrived. Returns are not something we would normally do under our policy, but I genuinely want to make this right for you, so I have spoken with the higher-ups and have a few options I can offer:
1. A 20% cashback on your original payment
2. A replacement product
3. Your order back as store credit
That said, given the service has not been what you were counting on, I suspect options 2 and 3 may not be what you are after. So that I can make sure this never happens to you or anyone else again, could I ask what the main reason for the return is? Was it something about the tankini set itself, or was it really the long wait and the fact it arrived too late for your holiday?
Whatever you tell me goes straight to the team. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and for how this has been handled.
Warm regards,
Anna

Hi Anna
Thank you for your email. Your website states that products can be return. See your FAQ section.
I would also like to point you to the law in respect of online purchases - see link https://www.gov.uk/accepting-returns-and-giving-refunds
I wish to return the item as it arrived very late and as a result I no longer require it. I would like a full cash refund.
I am prepared to escalate matters if necessary but would rather not have to.
Emily

Please can you respond to my latest email. How can your customer service be this bad?!
I would like a full cash refund. Please send me the return details asap.
I wish I had read your trust pilot reviews before spending money in your store. It seems my experience isn't a one off.

Hi Emily,
I wanted to reply to you personally, because what has happened here is genuinely not how we treat our customers, and I am sorry.
You are right, and there is no need to send anything back overseas or wait any longer for any of this. I am arranging a full refund of your order to your original payment method now, no return needed, and there is nothing further for you to do. It will land within 3 to 5 business days.
I am also sorry for how long this dragged on, and for the number of times you had to chase us before getting a proper answer. That is on us, and it should not have happened.
If there is anything else at all, please reply to this email directly and I will handle it personally.
Warm regards,
Marlow
