Damaged Items: If the item is under $100, the item does not need to be returned to Gump's if/only when photos are provided in lieu of the actual item. If the customer cannot provide a photo, the item must be returned to SLC/SF first. So you’ll want to let the customer know that they will need to send photos via email to customercare@gumps.com
If customers do not have the ability to send us an email, we can offer them the option to text the photos to us. The number they can text is (866) 773-8660.
These texts will show up as a regular ZD ticket for us.
We cannot respond to these tickets directly, so we want to make the customer aware of and understands the process. The process will go:
Customer calls/writes in regarding a damaged order > CC requests photos of damage > Customer advises they are unable to email us the photos > CC suggests texting the photos to our Customer Care text number > If the customer says yes, let the customer know that once we receive the photos, we will reach out via a phone call or email (their preference.)
You can always offer to stay on the line with the customer while they send the text and confirm that we've received it. The ticket will pop up in the Unassigned Ticket queue. Once you see the customer's ticket in the queue, you can let them know we will let them know that we will reach back out to them once we review the photos and the order either via email or a phone call, again, whichever they prefer. ⭐Note: If a customer would like email correspondence, be sure to ask for a valid email address or our admins will not be able to contact them.
Repartee Trays
If a customer is unable to provide photos or return a damaged/flawed Repartee Tray, we do not want to stress them out about it. It is more costly for us to pay for shipping on a tray + the shipping on the replacement. If the customer is unable to provide photos or return the tray, please reassure them that we are still more than happy to assist them.
You can process your ticket as normal with the customer's request (replacement, refund, etc.) just make a note that the customer is unable to provide a return/photos.
