purchased a clock for anniversary, delay in shipping due to engraving; received day before anniversary with no engraving. Called to get assistance, told to fill out a web form no one could speak with me. I asked for more immediate assistance and was told I could leave a voice mail by the operator. She was rude and accused me of being abrupt. I found the registry phone number and spoke to someone else who yelled at me and told me to follow the policy and stop making trouble.

Here is what I entered into the web form for customer service:

I ordered engraving, the clock came without it. My anniversary is tomorrow and your business practices that keep me from finding a person to help are very bad. I am going to get the clock engraved locally so I have it in time. I expect a partial refund for the engraving you did not send.

It must be nice to be able to treat new customers badly. I was yelled at by someone and told I have to fill out this form no one can talk to me, then I was given voicemail to leave a message. Do you consider that customer service? If a customer doesn't want to use a form like this, why insist and make them unhappy? I wonder about your 5 * reviews? I expect to leave a bad review unless I get help today. I will be watching to ensure my review is not removed and I will be reporting you to the California state attorney generals office for investigation should you remove that review. You are a deceptive company poorly run and poorly managed. I could have been a happy customer if you just spoke to me nicely and asked what was wrong with my order. Shame on you and your company!

My report was premature

AUTHOR: King of The Road - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, September 15, 2012

The same day I filed this report I received a very gracious phone-call from a representative at Clockway named Mike a manager in customer service. Though I did tell the representative earlier that day, that getting no one on the phone to help me meant I would be filing a ripoff report, it really was too soon for Mike to know of my report when he called. As a result, what he did to help me seemed completely genuine and not at all an attempt at appeasement in anticipation of filing anything. Mike is the kind of representative every company needs.

In fact, I would venture a guess that if Mike's skill-set transferred to more of his brethren, there would be far less need for this site. First and foremost Mike never attempted to defend his company or quote policies. He listened to my concerns and was ready with ideas and offers to help diffuse the situation and see that I was a truly satisfied customer. In fact as the conversation began, that's exactly what he told me was his goal. The beauty of the interaction, was that he then showed it was not hollow words but a promise he could back up with appropriate action.

As a result, I receive my clock and the anniversary plate I needed in time for my anniversary and feel very badly about having put in this report on the company. Its a shame Mike wasn't able to speak with me on my initial calls. Mike informed me that the company is trying to learn from its mistake with me and get the rest of the team to understand his approach to customer service. I believe in the end I received stellar 5 star service from a company that respects its customers and its reputation and admits when they have erred willing to learn from their mistakes.
