In The Dictionary, Under Customer Service It Says 'See Zappos' Part 3


Practise What You Preach

And that's something Zappos certainly do. Here are some examples of how they go the extra mile

Zappos sent flowers to a woman who had ordered multiple pairs of shoes to cope with her medical condition*
A Zappos employee went to a local mall ( that's shopping centre to us Europeans) to buy a lady her favourite shoes as they had run out of stock at Zappos**
There are no scripts in the call centre and there is no maximum call time***


What about customer testimonials? Here are a few

I have never experienced such fantastic customer service as I have from your phone order specialists. This was the third pair of shoes (from my original order). I spoke to a Customer Loyalty Representative and I truly felt like I was speaking to a friend. He asked me about my day and what I was going to do and actually commented on it! I was looking for a very specific style of shoe and actually went into a Clark's store to try them on. They fit like a glove and I knew I would order them through Zappos! I received them the next day, wore them yesterday and they are perfect. I don't know how you hire your people, but you should give the entire industry a class on Superior Customer Service and how to delight your customers

This will not be a lengthy thing. I just want to tell you that I have had numerous contracts with your organization. In every instance, I have to tell you NEVER and I mean NEVER have I been treated better. Please, please check your records of my phone calls with your people and give every one of them a huge ‘atta boy’. I will close this by saying I am 75 years old and never have I had better service and the politeness of your people just make it even better. THANK YOU FOR BEING THE TYPE OF ORGANIZATION YOU ARE AND PLEASE DON'T CHANGE. Thanks again
