    Just had a similar thing happen to me. Bought some WD reds. Two drives were DOA. Since no drives were available to replace them, I could return for a refund. Then had to buy drives when they were in stock again at double the price.

      It’s like DoorDash giving you a partial refund and not actually getting you what you ordered when there is a fuckup by the restaurant.

      How satisfied are you with your customer support? I didn’t get what I fucking ordered!

        doordash is a horrible example…

        they do nothing but keep you lazy… they don’t make the food, package the food, or see the food… that’s the restaurant’s problem, not doordash

        that said, don’t use doordash… or Uber…

          Well, it’s definitely tangential. The only overlap is how their refunds don’t actually fix anything and there is no path to actually addressing the original customer intent. A new order would be more money, and a gamble on the same error happening (maybe even intentional neglect by the people at the restaurant). And having to go out and get it yourself breaks the whole reason you engaged with the company at all.

          It’s a very broken customer service system they have. And it has to be that way to keep their margins.

            The part that irritates me is the act like they can’t refund anything after “the store confirmed the order”. One time I meant to check the price of a liquor bottle, dropped phone, between trying to prevent it falling and picking it up I touched the purchase button. The store “confirmed the order” within 30 seconds. Since the store confirmed the order and started “preparing the order” I could cancel it but couldn’t get a refund. The issue? It was 11:15pm. Legally liquor stores can’t sell packaged liquor after 9pm here. Either a. The store didn’t confirm anything and have be not started preparing anything b. The store is openly defying multiple laws. The c. The you are full of shit. Plus what’s “preparing” a bottle of liquor? Why can’t you send a notification of “put it back on shelf” and be done? Fine yeah my mistake of accidentally pressing button, maybe a 10% “restocking fee” still bullshit but acceptable. Not being able to cancel order at all though???

            If it’s not clear, the store was closed but order was defaulted to be delivered at 11am the next day as that was next available legal delivery time.

              Charge back time! That is like full on Karen mode appropriate (a very rare occurrence).

              Since we know what happened is the liquor store just has every order that comes in “confirmed” by default and its just better for them and Dash to work this way. Like what if a child had hit the button? Fuck you I guess?

                  Yeah, it looks like that is by design then. Glad I don’t deal with those programs myself. I would worry opening the thing on my phone.
