Cautionary Tale: The Website That Failed My Order & Returned 'Null' Feedback 🤯

. That feeling of being completely unhelped, of having invested time for literally zero result, is why I felt compelled to leave a review and contact customer service directly. I couldn't let my time and potential purchase just vanish into the digital ether.

Customer: I spent over an hour trying to order a custom hat online, and the website kept crashing at checkout. My order didn't go through, and when I tried to leave feedback, the submission just went blank. What is going on with your system?

CS Rep: Consider it done. If you enjoyed this post and you would certainly like to get even more info concerning https://www.wholecustomdesign.com/blog/how-i-stopped-overpaying-for-trendy-beanie-hats-and-found-true-quality kindly check out our own web-page. I'm placing the order now, and the confirmation email with tracking will arrive in your inbox in the next five minutes. Thank you for your patience and for giving us a chance to fix this.

The reason I left this review on the website is to hopefully prevent others from falling into the same trap.
