Extremely rude customer service.
Ordered a 10-piece set of All-Clad D5 polished stainless on 02 DEC 22. Took 12 days to arrive on 14 DEC 22.
This was fine, except what was sent was the less expensive D3 set.
Contacted customer service and was issued a return tag. On 15 DEC 22 it was sent from a local UPS Store. All-Clad received the return on 19 DEC 22.
We have had no communications from All-Clad since 14 DEC 22. Called All-Clad "customer service" this morning - 27 DEC 22 - fully 3 and one-half weeks after ordering. As you might imagine, at this point we're wondering what the heck is going on.
"Customer service" representative was slightly dismissive at first, and not apologetic in any way. He put me on hold and when he returned asked me if it was a "return or a refund" (why didn't he know that?). I told him what happened, and he put me on hold again. He returned and said an order for shipment was being placed today.
At this point I asked him if it could be expedited in any way, since we'd been waiting over 3 weeks. His response was - "Sir, we have more than 1 customer". To which I replied "Yes, and I'm one of them".
He starting getting "stroppy" as the Brits say and, I must admit, I then spoke to him at his level, telling how I would have handled this situation to, essentially, "please" the customer - namely, the job of "Customer Service".
His answer, in a nasty voice was - "Thank you, sir, for telling us how to run the company." Well, as they say, "that was all she wrote". I just said "Yeah, right" and hung up.
Doubt we'll even see the cookware now. My wife has wanted a set of All-Clad for years and, after this debacle, said she will never buy anything from them ever again.
Should have ordered it from Amazon for $100 less.
