Times it is OK to replace OTK/Incentive items
Each scenario that comes across our desk is unique. There is plenty of grey area that comes with gear reorders. We try to stick to the return/refund policy as much as possible, however, there are times when we will make exceptions on refunds & reorders.
Scenarios-
1. Participant selected Youth instead of Adult-
- Process- we hold firm that we will not replace the item free of charge or refund since the item sent is the item that was selected.
- Occasions we would resend or refund-
- Customer threatens to escalate the issue to the board/district/school- this could result in us getting locked out & not worth the cost of the one item
- Customer says they will just submit a chargeback- this results in an additional $20 fee that Snap! covers for chargebacks.
2. Customer wants a refund on a purchase that's too far along in production-
- Process- we hold firm that it is too late to refund the purchase since the item is already customized.
- Provide them with evidence that their receipt + our FAQ says all refunds must occur while campaign is still active
- Occasion we would refund-
- Customer threatens to escalate the issue to the board/district/school- this could result in us getting locked out & not worth the cost of the one item
- Customer says they will just submit a chargeback- this results in an additional $20 fee that Snap! covers for chargebacks.
3. Report missing or incorrect items after 60 days-
- Process- we hold firm that it is too late to refund the purchase since the item is already customized.
- Occasions we would resend item-
- If the parent/purchaser has been trying to reach out to the GL/MDM/AM for updates on the item with no response - we do not want to punish the participant/purchaser
-
- Customer threatens to escalate the issue to the board/district/school- this could result in us getting locked out & not worth the cost of the one item
- Customer says they will just submit a chargeback- this results in an additional $20 fee that Snap! covers for chargebacks.
4. Tech issues/platform errors
- Process- take each case one at a time and review with the direct manager
- If the error falls on the platform or occurs due to a bug- replace the item free of charge
-
- Please review with manager if you come across a possible error in the order due to a platform error. Never promise reorder until confirming.
-
- If the error falls on the platform or occurs due to a bug- replace the item free of charge
5. MDM complains after we tell them "no" to reorder
- Process - hold to the process that their request is outside of our policy and we will not be replacing the item
- If they continue to argue-
- Escalate to your manager
- Often times they will loop in their RSE/GM for approval of reorder.
- No where is this written as a process- but if a GM approves of a reorder & snap! covering the cost, support will place the reorder.
