Nightmarish experience with Customer Service
I placed an internet order and thought all was OK. Then Miles Kimball sent me an email adding a 10.5% tax to the order. My correct tax rate is 8.0% and I had already been charged that when I paid. I was out of the country for the summer and didn't see the email, and when I returned, I found 4 dunning letters threatening to turn my account over to a collections agency. I called and talked to a CSR who had no idea which way was up. She kept repeating things I already knew. Finally she told me someone in collections would send me an email correcting the overcharge. That was two weeks ago and still no email. So my complaints are (1) the incorrect tax, (2) the dunning letters for an amount I didn't owe, (3) the cluelessness and attitude of the CSR, and (4) the failure of Customer Service to follow through in correcting the mistake. Also, I used to teach business writing, and if one of my students had turned in the letters that I got from Miles Kimball, I would have failed that student. The letters didn't even tell me what the charge was for.
