Hi Nics,
Thank you so much for coming back to me, and for giving me the chance to put this right.
I am arranging the 20.00 GBP cashback to your original payment method now. As I mentioned, this should land in around 3 business days, rather than the weeks it would take for a return to travel back overseas and be processed. There is nothing you need to send back, please just keep the set.
I am genuinely sorry again for how long this has dragged on for you, and for the frustration it caused. Thank you for your patience while we got this sorted.
And as a small token from us for the trouble, here is a code for money off your next order whenever you would like to use it: STORECREDIT15. I really do hope we get the chance to give you a much smoother experience next time.
Warm regards,
Marlow
Marlow London
Reasoning: operator: add a STORECREDIT15 goodwill code at the end (token of apology for the trouble); operator already processed the £20 cashback manually; SEND this one.

Hi there
Please can you advise how I get a refund and return my order, it is not what I was expecting at all and wholly unsatisfactory.
My order number is #1514 and I include a screen shot of the order details.
I received the items today and as I say they are nothing like advertised and not what I was looking for at all.
Best wishes
Nics Johnson

Hi Nics,
Thank you for reaching out, and I'm really sorry to hear the Honoria tankini set wasn't what you were expecting when it arrived today.
I would love to help find the best solution for you. Before we go ahead with anything, could you tell me a little more about what wasn't matching what you expected, for example the colour, fit, or fabric? That way I can make sure we get this right for you.
In the meantime, here are a few options so we can sort this out quickly:
1. A 10 percent refund and you keep the item as is
2. 20 pounds GBP in store credit and you keep the item
3. A free replacement sent out to you
If none of these appeal and you would still prefer to send it back, that is absolutely fine too, just let me know and I will guide you through the return process. Returns do go to our supplier overseas and the return shipping cost would be the customer's responsibility, currently 19.95 pounds GBP, though we would always rather find a solution that avoids that for you if we can.
Looking forward to hearing from you so we can get this sorted.
Warm regards,
Anna

Hi Anna,
It's just cheap looking not a nice fit and not what I expected.
I just want a refund to be honest.
Please let me know how that gets processed.
Best wishes,
Nics

Hi Nics,
Thank you for explaining a bit more, and I am sorry to hear the set felt cheap and did not fit the way you were hoping. That is honestly not the standard we want to be sending out.
I want to be upfront with you, it sounds like yours may have come from a batch that was not up to our usual quality, and I have already flagged this with our manufacturer so it gets corrected and does not happen to you, or anyone else, again.
Our whole goal is for you to have a piece you genuinely love, and we have not managed that yet, so I would really like to put it right by sending you a fresh replacement, on us, with no need to return the one you already have. As a sincere apology for the letdown, I can also add a 20 percent cashback to your order on top of that.
I would really love the chance to get you one you actually love first. Just let me know which you would prefer and I will get it moving straight away.
Warm regards,
Anna

Hi Nics,
Thank you for your reply, and I completely understand you would prefer to have your money back.
Before we go ahead with the return, I wanted to flag one more option in case it helps. I can offer you a 25 percent cashback to your original payment method and you keep the tankini set as it is, with nothing to send back at all. It is the quickest way to have this fully resolved, without the cost, wait or risk of shipping something back overseyou
If you would still prefer to return the set, that is absolutely fine too. Just so you know how that works: returns need to be sent within 30 days of delivery, and the item must be unworn, unused and in its original packaging. Return shipping is at your own cost, which comes to 19.95 pounds since it goes back to our overseas supplier, and once we receive it back your refund will be processed within 3 to 5 business days to your original payment method.
Just let me know which you would prefer, the 25 percent cashback so you can keep the set, or to go ahead with the return, and I will get everything moving for you right away.
Warm regards,
Anna

Please provide me with the return address, I will establish cost of posting.
I am not sending any further money to your company as I have no trust that I will receive a refund or indeed that this isn't just a complete scam.

Hi Nics,
I wanted to reply to this personally, becuase I believe what has happened here is unacceptable.
I want the best for our custommers and that is not how we have treated you.
So because you dont want to send money to us, which i completely agree with, sending something back overseas is not an option for you, since you would have to pay the 19.95 fee, instead of that, we would just like to make over the money that you would have been left with, which is £39,95 - £19,95 = £20.00. We will get it on your account in 3 business days instead of you having to wait another 3 weeks, which is unacceptable, and this is also beter for the environement, along with the risk of the shpment getting lost, we would like to save you that pain, since you dont deserve to be treated again like that.
We are so so sorry for how long this has dragged on. I am genuinely sorry.
Warm regards,
Marlow
Hi,
I appreciate that and look forward to receiving the refund this week.
