Rude Customer Representative, They Need To Train Their Front Desk
I just rang Topdown Trading today (0208 804 8818) and spoke to a lady who sounded Eastern European. Before placing an order, I asked if it was possible to pay on delivery because I'd read quite a few negative reviews online about orders not being delivered. She said that's not how they operate, which I understand, but then she laughed and said if I wasn't happy, I should look for another company.
I then asked if, if I placed an order, it would definitely be delivered. Instead of reassuring a potential customer, she got upset and told me to find another company. I also mentioned that I'd probably pay by credit card for buyer protection in case anything went wrong. After that, she became quite defensive and pushy.
I wasn't trying to be difficult, I was simply asking genuine questions before spending my money. As someone who works in customer service myself, I felt the conversation could have been handled much better. I haven't even made a purchase yet, but unfortunately this first impression has put me off ordering. I think the representative could benefit from some customer service training as she seemed to push away a genuine potential customer instead of helping build confidence.
