1
this is claire and this is candace
2
and today they're going to handle the same issue from the
3
same customer tabitha ratchet the point of this video is to show you the difference between bad
4
and great customer service
5
and what i want you to do is to notice the difference between the two
6
and then comment down below your observations all right let's begin
7
thank you for calling question this is claire how may i help you today
8
i still have not received my order you said i would receive it on the 20th
9
so the 22nd still nothing i don't know what's going on but
10
if it's not too much of a bother to you i
11
would really really not love to get what i paid for
12
you know what i mean okay may have the order number
13
and your first name 498 4977 tabitha ratchet thank you let me just check
14
that here I mean it's ridiculous
15
if there's a delay you could just tell me it's not like you don't have my email
16
or anything you didn't notify me at all if I forgot
17
that I'd ordered it
18
which by the way happens sometimes then I'd completely be paying
19
for nothing one moment please will I check your order status
20
unbelievable are you even listening to me I am that's why I'm gonna check this status for you, okay?
21
Okay, fine.
22
Go ahead.
23
Thank you.
24
Okay, according to the FedEx note here, your parcel was delivered on the 20th at 10 a .m
25
and it was left on the front porch according to the notes.
26
What?
27
You're kidding, right?
28
Okay, okay first of all my apartment has no front porch second
29
the only way to deliver parcels in a residence is by
30
leaving them to the concierge that's it third I was at home the whole day on the 20th
31
and no one literally no one knocked on my door
32
or called my number to notify me of a parcel
33
so whatever this FedEx guy saying he's lying okay he's lying
34
have you tried checking with the buildings concierge to see
35
if they have kept a package for you or i just checked this morning and the answer is no
36
there's no parcel otherwise it wouldn't be calling you how about your neighbors have you checked with them to see
37
if they received your parcel just just what light of questioning is this are you saying
38
that my neighbor stole my parcel no no no i'm not saying
39
that what i'm saying is they might have received your parcel while you were away.
40
You're not listening to me.
41
I told you I was in the apartment the entire fucking day.
42
If someone delivered a parcel, the concierge would have received it by now.
43
Second, and I repeat, the only way we receive parcels here is through the concierge.
44
Nothing else.
45
No front porch, no neighbors.
46
We're even asking about my neighbors.
47
They have nothing to do with this.
48
And shouldn't you be questioning the fact that FedEx said I have a front porch when I clearly don't?
49
Tabitha, I'm just doing my job.
50
This is a standard protocol we have to make sure
51
that the receiver has checked all the possible places the parcel could have been delivered
52
so do your job right you're not even trying I've been spending my time here listening to you
53
and the only thing you're doing
54
so far is asking me dumb questions like what kind of
55
service is this I just want to get what I paid for is
56
that so wrong to ask please calm down Tabitha I'm here to help you then help me
57
and for God's sake do it well jesus christ okay tabitha i'm sorry
58
that this happened to you but oh yes i bet you are
59
okay for us to resolve this i will send you an email please reply to
60
that email to confirm in writing that you did not receive the parcel after
61
that i'm gonna i'm already talking to you what do you
62
need me to email you for i'm i'm telling you right now i did not receive my parcel
63
so do something about it now it's it's not
64
that simple Tabitha you have to confirm in writing
65
because that's what we're gonna show FedEx so they can begin the investigation
66
so no this is necessary to prove
67
that we are not making this all up once the claim is filed we will investigate
68
and depending on the investigation it will take seven around seven business days
69
and then we can refund or replace or find your missing parcel
70
so just file a dispute and get my money back
71
you know that i'm being nice right now right i am contacting you first
72
when i could just have phoned my bank
73
and mark you as fraud in an instant you know
74
that right i wouldn't recommend that as
75
that might poorly reflect on your credit score especially
76
that it shows delivered you know
77
so the best option i recommend is to let us file a claim on your behalf that's what i recommend
78
You know what?
79
With the ridiculousness of the situation, I can't even bring myself to be mad anymore.
80
Like, what is the point anyway?
81
You basically have the emotional intelligence of a peanut, so.
82
i envy you that's for sure okay so uh how would you like to proceed
83
well it's not like i have a choice take care of
84
it deal with fedex i didn't pay you to make me file the claim myself
85
so okay so after you confirm through email
86
that you did not receive your parcel i will file a
87
pdnr for you what's pdnr it means parcel delivered not received
88
and will take take it will take five to seven business days okay what happens
89
if the parcel isn't found is the replacement available in your warehouse i need a replacement for
90
that i want a refund
91
um well since this is a dropship item we don't have the item in stock in our warehouse
92
so i would first have to check with the dropship team for its availability
93
but yes i will take note of that what's the dropship it means
94
that the item is in another warehouse
95
and we don't have the inventory for it
96
so we will first coordinate with the supplier you know what you are making my head spin
97
so let me get this straight seven business days for the investigation
98
and if not found
99
which is probably the case 99 % of the time you can check with a team
100
if it's available and then what another seven days to deliver the replacement yes correct
101
well i tried to be nice to you guys
102
but it seems like you left me no other choice i will file a dispute
103
and i will never shop from your site again
104
tabitha as much as i would like to help you this
105
is the best i can do for you i have to
106
follow the company policy as i said we can issue a replacement
107
but we first have to file a claim and
108
that will take five to seven business days if
109
that is too long for you to wait which
110
which i understand i suggest that you place another order with a different shipping address
111
while the investigation is ongoing and we will just refund you for the first parcel
112
but we first have to wait for the claim blah blah
113
blah just stop okay just stop i don't care anymore i hope your company goes bankrupt
114
and then no company will ever hire you again your your
115
attitude has been pretty disgusting condescending the moment you picked up a phone
116
and i cannot cannot for the life of me imagine an employer who would want to hire you for
117
that attitude continue living your miserable life i'm just gonna go ahead and file
118
that dispute bye -bye thank you for calling question this is
119
candace how may i help you i still have not received
120
my order you said i would receive it on the 20th
121
so the 22nd still nothing I don't know what's going on but
122
if it's not too much of a bother to you I
123
would really really know love to get what I paid for you know what I mean oh
124
if it's beyond the promise delivery date we definitely need to look into
125
that may have your number in your full name
126
so I can check for you that's exactly what I'm thinking like I don't understand what's taking
127
so long anyway the order number is four nine eight four nine seven seven
128
and my name is tabitha ratchet thank you tabitha i will now go ahead
129
and pull up your order and hopefully i can give you an immediate answer one moment please go ahead thank you
130
okay like what she said the estimated delivery date is on the 20th it's not 20 seconds
131
so it's two days late normally
132
when a parcel is late like this we send an email informing you of the delay
133
so let me visit the FedEx website and track it thank you Candace
134
that would be appreciated I am actually haven't tried tracking it
135
on the FedEx website since you already gave me the delivery date through email
136
so yes please go ahead okay according to the FedEx note
137
here your parcel was delivered on the 20th at 10 a .m.
138
it said
139
that it was left on the front porch have you tried
140
checking your front porch what what what what you're kidding right
141
okay okay first of all my apartment has no front porch
142
second the only way to deliver parcels in a residence is
143
by leaving them to the concierge third i was at home the whole day on the 20th
144
and no one literally no one knocked on my door
145
or called my number to notify me of a parcel so whatever this fedex guy is saying
146
he's lying okay he's lying that's that's definitely odd have you tried checking with your building's concierge to see
147
if they have kept a package for you i just checked this morning
148
and the answer is no otherwise i wouldn't be calling you
149
yeah your neighbors also wouldn't happen to receive it right since
150
as you said all parcels go to the concierge correct and
151
if the note says he left it on my doorstep again
152
that's impossible no one can access our doorsteps here except us tenants.
153
So there's clearly a mistake here.
154
Yes, that makes sense.
155
So here's what we're going to do, Tabitha.
156
It is likely that FedEx delivered the order to the wrong address, so I will file a PDNR claim on your behalf.
157
It means parcel delivered, not received.
158
What this does is to let FedEx investigate to find your missing parcel, and after the investigation, we will either refund,
159
replace, or find your missing parcel.
160
Okay.
161
Yeah, and for me to initiate the claim, I will send you an email right now.
162
please reply to that email confirming
163
that you have not received your parcel um uh your response to
164
that email is very important because that will serve as the documentation proving to fedex
165
that you are requesting for us to file a claim on
166
your behalf okay whatever happens i'm gonna get my refund though right you're right of course um
167
and the sooner they find your parcel the better by the way uh in the event
168
that the parcel isn't recovered would you prefer a replacement
169
or a refund i need a replacement for that i don't want a refund okay i will make note of that
170
and after the investigation
171
which usually takes five to seven business days i will check with the supplier for its availability availability
172
and then they can process the replacement for you
173
okay it's disappointing that this is to happen
174
but okay whatever at least i don't have to file a
175
dispute to be honest i was i was already thinking of calling my bank this morning
176
and filing a dispute yes um this is definitely not the experience that we want you to have but
177
we will try our best to make this as easy as
178
possible for you considering the situation i will also keep this case in progress
179
so whatever questions you might have during the investigation
180
you just reply to the same email thread and i will be there to answer your questions
181
so let me get this straight seven business days for the investigation
182
and if it isn't found you're going to check with the team
183
if it's available and
184
if it's available another seven days to deliver the replacement yes tabitha that's correct
185
but of course if they find the parcel during the investigation then you don't need to wait
186
that long that's already the maximum time frame yeah well i hope they do
187
but i honestly don't have much hope for it but okay replacement's fine i guess Okay,
188
yeah, I cannot guarantee that 100 % that they would find your missing parcel, but there have been cases in the past when they did find the missing parcel.
189
And I will, of course, update you throughout the process.
190
Okay, so I guess that's my best option.
191
What do you need me to do?
192
Just reply to your email saying that I didn't receive the parcel?
193
That's correct.
194
I have just sent you the email.
195
All right, I will reply in five minutes.
196
I'm going to have my lunch break.
197
What's your name again? candace all right candace thank you
198

199
go bye enjoy your lunch tabitha thank you for calling question

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
