Order was supposed to deliver on 12/10. It is now 12/22 and still has not delivered. When sending as a sympathy gift and timing is this delayed it makes it seem meaningless upon receipt.
Dear Nicole -
I know that you put a lot of thought into this special memorial gift for your Aunt, and I apologize that it fell short of your expectations. I would like to first say that we send our thoughts, prayers and sincere condolences to your Aunt and your family during this difficult time of grief.
After looking into this order, we were able to confirm it was in fact delivered on 12/17. It does not require signature for the delivery, and with Fed Ex (our delivery partner) there is no location described in the confirmation of delivery. It could have mistakenly been delivered to an incorrect door, or sometimes even a neighbor. It does arrive in a tall slender box and can be overlooked.
However, I wanted to make this right for you and ensure your aunt received the tree you and Mike had ordered. I have sent a replacement tree out yesterday. Included in that replacement, I personally wrote a letter to Bonnie, explaining the mix-up and how your purest thoughts were there with this special memorial of your uncle and sent our condolences. You shall receive additional tracking information, and I will personally check on this for delivery. Maybe you can touch base with your aunt to confirm after we see that it says delivered.
Again, I know out of our control, but I want to truly apologize for the inconvenience and hope that we may have the opportunity to earn your trust and business in the future.
Warmest Regards,
Maleena
