Dear Sir,
I want to bring into your notice an important matter regarding our customer. Clark Gable. On the 12th of November he ordered couple of DVD’s from our store It Happened One Night and Goodfellas with order ID 1234ABC. He opened one of the DVDS containing Goodfella’s immediately and everything was right with that order. The problem started when his sister in law unpacked the DVD after he gifted her and there was nothing in the DVD. Obviously, the customer is extremely irate and I have checked the records, there were some other customers as well who had the same problem. He is asking for the refund and the problem is that as per out policy, 30 days have lapsed since the purchase day thus his request cannot be facilitated. Regardless of our policy, as he is our regular customer, allowance has to be made to make sure that some sort of benefit must be provided. As a gesture of goodwill, I need your advice regarding dispatching him another DVD. This is a one off instance though and an eye opener as well. So to make sure that such mistakes do not occur in the future. Following are some of my suggestions.
- During the course of the holiday seasons, the return back policy would be extended to week after the holiday to make sure that such instances are being taken care off.
- The quality assurance and random checking mechanism must be developed to make sure that the mistakes are not repeated again.
- Sticking with the same policy, but if there is a mishap on the order during holiday season, 50 % refund would be made only then replacement would be dispatched.
Personally, the first option seems to be the most plausible one, but need your advice regarding the way forward.

Regarding your problem, we have shipped another copy of the said DVD at your address and to make up for the trouble that is faced by you, an additional gift pack is also dispatched as a gesture of goodwill. It would not eventually spare you all the trouble though. For future reference though kindly take note that extra five days are going to be allowed after the commencement of the holiday season to make sure that these issues are being taken care off. This extension is allowed to make sure that some of the faulty orders that are witnessed due to the excessive load in the holiday season are being taken care off.
