Candy Cakes couldn't be bothered to call me back!

Company:Candy Cakes, Windsor - United Kingdom  url
Customer Service:
Product/Service:Needed a cake for daughters birthday
When:30-Jan-12
Interaction:Telephone
I called CandyCakes on Monday 30th Jan 2012 to request a birthday cake for my daughters tenth party. Even though I made it clear that I was ready to book and pay in advance, they were unable to call me back for two days! I sent text messages asking them to confirm if they could do it. Text messages ignored! With just a few days to get a cake organised I had to desperately ring around and find someone else to do it. Candy Cakes - if you can't fulfil the order - thats OK! Perhaps you are too busy?

The following story was taken with permission from the blog of Jennifer Non My sister and I both hold trip passes given as compensation when our flight from Caticlan to Manila was overbooked and we were redirected to Kalibo for our flight home.

Good Customer Service by a United rep at SAN

Customer Service:
Product/Service:Customer Service for damaged bag
When:02-Sep-11
Interaction:In Store
I was traveling from Baltimore on a United Airlines flight when I had to check my bag in because it would not fit in the overhead bin. Unfortunately the bag came damaged with its frame bent and its handle damaged. I was very sad to see it as the bag had sentimental value. I spoke with the very reasonable customer service agent at the terminal handling lost and damaged bag and he helped me get the bag to the proper outlet where repairs were conducted. I was told that it would take about a month to receive my bag. I

Superb deep tissue massage

Company:Active8Health, Harrow - United Kingdom  url
Customer Service:
Product/Service:Deep tissue sports massage
When:03-Sep-11
Interaction:In Store
I managed to get a stiff neck about a week ago and was unable to get a massage from my regular therapist Gitesh until today. He was able to manipulate deep under my shoulder blades, pinpointing the knots that had caused the neck to seize up. This much should be expected, you go to a physio and you expect a good massage. However, what sets Gitesh apart is his ability to make interesting small talk during the process. He takes genuine interest in what you are doing, what your plans are and will discuss what he is up to too!

Customer Service:
Product/Service:Skipping rope
When:15-Aug-11
Interaction:Online
I recently bought a skipping rope from PowerStarUk off ebay uk. Just a mundane, ordinary skipping rope, worth not much more than £10.00. I received the rope after a few days, didn't use it much and is now collecting dust. I am a little lax about leaving feedback on ebay - about a week after I'd received the rope I got a message from the seller saying that if I'd leave feedback they would send me a free gift! I thought, 'What could they possible send me for free? The rope was only £10.00, why would they even bother paying
