本期節目話題參考文本
I remember one time I bought some trainers online and I had a problem when I received them. Actually, they were basketball shoes – I think they were Nike, and they had a really striking design, which is why I chose them. After I ordered them, it only took a couple of days for them to arrive. You know, I was really excited to break them in while playing basketball with my friends, and also kind of show them off. But unfortunately, when I opened the box, I could immediately see that something wasn’t right.
They were the wrong color, and when I tried them on, I found out the size was also incorrect – they were a little bit too small. When I discovered the problem I felt really frustrated and also disappointed, because I was really looking forward to trying them out that evening. At the same time, I was pretty confident that I would be able to return them, because usually when you buy shoes online the return policy is pretty lenient.
I opened up my laptop, navigated to the shopping site and started a chat with one of their customer service representatives. I explained the problem to the employee and they were able to help me. They said that it’s no problem to return the shoes since they were the wrong size. But when they checked their current stock they found that they didn’t have the correct size for me, so unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to exchange them – I could only return them for a refund.
I guess that wasn’t the worst case scenario, you know, at least I got my money back. But I was still quite disappointed about not being able to get the shoes right away. Anyway, I had to wait for another month before they got the correct size in stock, but I was thrilled when I finally received them – they were a perfect fit and looked stunning.
