Customer Service

One of my colleague from the management team gave me the KK tour agency address. According to him, they provide a good package for him. All the trip is customized by his own. The tour agency just helped on the planning and taking them to those places they wanted to.

So, I called the tour agency immediately. I looked for the recommended agent. Mana tau, the agent has left the tour agency! The person who pick up the call transfer me to another person.

I talked to the person in English in the first place but the person replied with Mandarin. Oh, OK. I switched my language to Mandarin. After talking for few minutes, the person seems like not getting my point and asked me to send an email to them instead. They will follow up from there.

I sent them the email. I got a response after 16 minutes, quite fast!


To my surprise, the person replied like we were old friends! Let's see what is written in the email. I highlight it in red box!


I was like hmmmmmm, I'm the customer leh.... How can you reply like this by using WA LO YE? I let my colleague looked on this email, she also said the customer service siao one. In the email, there is a MSN account. I added the person in my MSN. It's easier for me to get update from them.

I started my conversation with them once I added. Here comes the conversation that shock me one more time!


Hey, come on..... I'm also doing support. Are you going to tell this to your customer? This is not the end, please continue to see the conversation.


How can you say now cannot la..... pls la pls la.... to your customer? Oh My God!!!

I sent a message to ethem this morning and asked for the update. They told me to wait and they will give me a reply by today. Now, the time is already 2pm and there is no email in my inbox! If they didn't send it to me by today, maybe I will look for others.

Overall, the customer service was totally not professional at all! They need to attend classes on how to become a quality customer service!

I got the reply finally. I have no energy to say anything, you read yourself.


FED UP LAH!!!

Sharon so fast~ ^^
Never mind, i am the second one, hehe~
Haha, the person really treat you like his long know friend, maybe they think this can make their customer feel more comfortable but it is not the basic and correct way to treat a customer, they should treat you with respect and talk in a more polite way. Hopefully they will send you the date by today.
Wish you journey mercy and have fun! p/s: I want souvenirs

I think kind of cute to have such a support person...
My work had to deal with quite a number of support staff...
All of them are like so profesional until so boring...
But anyway... The last email was really a bit too much... I hate delay...

By the way... Don't think you need an agent for KK lar...
