Kate,
I am truly sorry. You are absolutely right to be angry, and I want to apologize sincerely for two things: first, for not responding to your emails on the 22nd and 23rd - that should not have happened. Second, and more importantly, for the fact that your order shipped despite our promise to cancel it.
On July 21st, I told you we would cancel the order and process a full refund. I genuinely believed that was what was going to happen, but it was not handled the way we said it would be, and the order shipped anyway. That is our failure, and I take full responsibility for it.
Let me be absolutely clear: you are entitled to the full refund we promised you. There is no question about that. Your refund is being processed immediately, and it will land in your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days.
I apologize for the poor service you have experienced. You came to us with a genuine concern, we should have handled it better from the start, and we definitely should have followed through on what we promised.
Your refund is our priority today. Please do not worry about any further action - we are handling this directly.
I am genuinely sorry.
Warm regards,
Marlow
Marlow London
Reasoning: Legal threat and broken promise (order shipped despite cancellation). Full refund of £54.95 processed via shopify_payments (order #2884, net_available now £0.00). Operator-approved owner-voice apology + refund confirmation, sent for real.

Hi,
Please can you confirm the longchamp bags you are selling are authentic?
I have just ordered one and now looking at reviews am worrying it is not
genuine?
Many thanks
Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out, and congratulations on your order!
I completely understand why you would want to double check this, and I am happy to answer honestly. What we sell are manufacturer direct bags in similar styles, made by the same kind of manufacturer that produces for a number of well known retailers. That is exactly why we are able to offer them at such a lower price, the saving comes from cutting out the middlemen in the supply chain, not from the materials or the make.
I will not claim to be an authorised retailer for the Longchamp brand, and I would rather be upfront with you about that than let you assume otherwise. What I can tell you with confidence is that the quality does not go backwards just because the price is lower, and we stand behind every item we send out.
If anything about your bag does not look or feel right once it arrives, please just come straight back to me and I will personally make sure it is put right for you.
Warm regards,
Anna

Hi there,
Thank you for coming back to me, and I want to give you a straight, honest answer rather than dance around it.
To be completely upfront, this is not a genuine, brand name Longchamp bag, and we are not an authorised Longchamp retailer. What we sell is a manufacturer direct bag in a similar style, it is exactly the same, made by the same kind of manufacturer that also produces for a number of well known retailers, which is why we can offer it at a lower price. That saving comes from cutting out the middlemen in the supply chain, not from cutting corners on the make, but I would never want you to buy it believing it carries the Longchamp name, especially as a present for your daughter.
I completely understand that changes things for a gift, and I am very happy to cancel this for you. The good news is your order has not shipped yet, so I have gone ahead and passed this to our team to cancel it and process a full refund back to your original payment method, which should land within 3 to 5 business days.
I am sorry this was not clearer from the outset. Please let me know if there is anything else at all I can help with.
Warm regards,
Anna

I am disgusted at your customer services.
No response to previous emails, as you know you are in the wrong. Conning
people on your website that they are buying legit items when you have
admitted they are fakes via email.
After previous emails confirming bags are fake you have then completly
ignored me.
I want my money back. If I dont get a reply within 24hrs I will be taking
legal action against your company and posting multiple reviews enforcing
not to buy from you.
