Amazon.com

As per tag yang aku buat, aku ada tulis aku beli 2buah buku daripada Amazon.com. Tapi sebab nak try VPost punya service plus nak jimat postage charges, aku pun guna la khidmat VPost ni. Tapi ntah macam hampeh depa ni, tatau silap tang mana tapi bila aku nak bayar postage charge kat VPost error. So, aku pun kena la email depa bla..bla..bla..dan until today aku tatau apa nasib buku aku tu..dan yang pasti aku macam tak percaya buku tu boleh dapat sebelum aku berangkat je Jepun nnt!!! (arrrghhh!!! tensen aku!)

So pikir punya pikir aku ingat nak return je la buku tu kat Amazon sbb refund time frame utk buku aku tu sampai 12April. So, aku try nak refund online tapi problem besarnya aku takleh nak return buku tu sendiri sbb aku bukan dok kat US dan impossible la VPost tu berbesar hati nak returnkan buku tu untuk aku kan.. So, hari Ahad semalam tghari, aku email kat Amazon.com terangkan situation aku:
1. Aku nak return
2. I need their help to assign the courier service (USPS) utk pickup the items shipped kat tempat depa hantar haritu sbb aku tak dok kat US
3. I ask their advice if possible aku beli direct daripada depa terus and deliver to me on time.

Malam tadi terus aku dapat reply (cepat sungguh na respond daripada depa!!) : Ni apa yg depa tulis kat aku!!

Aku pun ala-ala melopong lepas baca tu..terus terjerit-jerit panggil laki aku. Aku paksa dia baca dan terangkan semula apa yang dia faham. Aku macam tak percaya yang depa nak refund duit aku tu..then buku tu tak payah pulangkan!! So? aku dapat buku free la kiranya ni? tapi buku tu aku kemungkinan besar tak dapat bawak pi Jepun nnt?
Abang aku baca pun paham yang sama macam aku! Tapi, dia kata kalau nak lagi clear reply la balik tanya semula..
Tapi aku tak reply dulu, bukak la account Amazon.com aku then check punya check memang dah ada REFUND okeh!!!! hohohoho!!!! Biar Betul!!! Aku masih tak percaya..tapi laki aku kata this is an example of a good customer service! Depa mesti ada 'thrash account' like that utk possibilty macam ni ke.. lagipun they make millions!!! apalah sangat 30usd aku tu kot.. yang penting customer satisfaction.

Aku pun tidur dgn keadaan 'ketidakpercayaan' dengan apa yang berlaku. Aku cakap abang aku wait until i see my credit card Credit statement then baru aku percaya kot. Now mmg dah debit dah kat CC aku tu.. tunggu lagi 2-3 hari kot sbb international transaction gitu kan..

Tapi pagi ni aku dapat lagi email daripada depa:

So? Confirm la kan aku dapat refund? yehhaaaa!!!!!!!!

p/s: sampai la ni aku tak dpt reply from vPost macam mana aku nak bayar kat depa.. aku pun takdak menaruh harapan tinggi dah utk receive buku tu on time. Walaupun aku dah dapat free? kiranya buku tu..(Thanks to Amazon.com!) Aku nak amik priority shipping kat Amazon.com (2-4days) tapi shipping cost ja dah lebih daripda harga buku...huhuhu.. kami just carik kat airport je la nnt.. ni namanya rezeki kah? aku tak sangka plak sampai dapat free! aku ingat kot depa kasik longer time frame ka utk aku return buku tu kat depa nnt...hehehe...

***updated
Hari ni aku check kat internet banking, cc aku dah selamat ada credit from amazon.com! yeehhaa!!! cepat tuh..satu hari jer dah credit! (ni abg aku yg dok advice kalau nak purchase guna international seller etc baik guna foreign bank i.e yg worlwide recognise sbb cepat skit approval etc sama gak kalau pi overseas pun, kalau nak guna cc, kalau ada foreign bank card i.e amex/hsbc/citybank etc baik guna tu..sbb kalau bank yg tak recognize kadang susah nak go tru..)
Lagi satu aku tengah WAR dengan VPost sbb aku rasa depa dah tipu aku. So, aku dah email depa mintak explaination..kalau depa senyap ja harus aku nak guna media cetak pulak..ngeh! ngeh! ngeh! (kena mintak tolong mek nak tanya macam mana nak buat etc..hehe)
