Thank you, Wendy!
I think the letter, which really looks like a form letter, was well written. It definitely was not offensive. BUT, again, I can see why SAF was red faced. Getting a, scolding/slap on the hand, etc. can raise your blood pressure. Again, this happened to me with Sephora, but they didn't even send me a letter. They did not refund my CC. Instead they issued a store credit, and when I called to question the credit, the CS told me that I had return too many things. Like SAF, my returns were minimal compared to a lot of women at MakeUp Alley. There's lots of talk about how much stuff they return to Sephora.

Good Golly - SAF, if you are still reading all this....
I can't help but feel that all SAF wanted to do was express her upset and frustration over receiving the letter from Collage and so she came to a place (VF) where she believed she would be heard. She did state in her initial post that she felt offended by the letter. Therefore, the letter was offensive - to her. Isn't that all that matters? That we validate her upset, even if that hasn't been our own experience with Collage? I have to add: Asking her to post the letter does not feel right to me. If SAF wanted the letter to be read by everyone, she could have posted it herself - but didn't. Posting a potentially similar letter leaves me feeling that her privacy has somehow been violated here. But that's just my opinion on the matter - it doesn't have to reflect everyone else's. |

I think that was the point of her posting. What one deems offensive isn't a big deal to others. However the fact that she got the Form Letter is probally what ticked her off, not so much the content of the letter. If I am misspeaking SAF, please correct me. What I think the problem for her was that she called and spoke with a live body. She discussed the issues, got permission to make the returns, opened or sealed, wrote a letter or note and thought that she was in the clear. She walked away from that conversation feeling that she was fine and everything was ok. One day it's fine and the next, she's being told something completely different. The IMO is the irritant, not the form letter's contents. Some people have been quick to judge her motives and even accusing her of malicious intent to do harm to a company's reputation. This IMO, is over the line and over the top. This is an internet website, we don't know each other personally in reality from a hole in the wall. To make those types of statements, condemnations, and out right snicking of essentially- you got what you deserve, type of comments really isn't prudent. Some people don't see the attacks, some of us do. It's dicey when you've got a few people assuming she wants to harm a company's rep or essentially she gets what she deserves bc she had the nerve to make some returns. Most people have been respectful, some were tap dancing on that line. I'm sure she did get a form letter and within the first couple of thread pages she explained why she didn't post it. There was no deception on her part, nothing to hide as some suggested. It's the circumstance as to why she got the letter not so much what it said, I think that was a secondary gripe.
