This Ship Has Sailed
This is a conversation I had with one customer trying to buy something online. “Hello, I made an online order and I see that you’ve charged me the shipping cost twice.” “Hmm, that’s weird, let me check. No, I see that it’s the right amount, sir.” “You’re wrong, I’ve made two orders and I’ve already paid the shipping cost for the first one. I shouldn’t have to pay twice.”
“Oh, I see! You’ve made two orders, sure, we can make it one package and only charge you once for the shipping, but can you tell me the order numbers for your orders, because the system shows me that you’ve only placed one today.” This is where it unraveled.“Yeah, the second one was not placed today.” “When was it placed, sir?”
“I don’t know, like three or four months ago, but still, I’ve paid for the shipping cost before. Why would I have to pay again?”
