    We acknowledge and sincerely apologize to our customer for the inconvenience of this transaction. Due to high demand for furniture this season, our suppliers have experienced delays in manufacture. We have agreed to cancel the order since the customer could not wait any longer. Unfortunately further mix up happened when the supplier sent out the items just as we were cancelling it on our system. We are updating our procedures in how notify clients during busy seasons like this in order not to cause inconveniences like this to happen in the future.

    Dear BBB of Central *******,

    Re: Case #********

    I am writing to respond to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) complaint filed against Modern Wicker and Outdoor Furniture. We take customer concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.

    First, I would like to apologize to BBB and our customer *********************** for the delay of the order he processed last month. 

    I thoroughly investigated the matter and I would like to sincerely apologize for our lack of follow up after processing the order. Our team was able to process the order with our supplier right after the order was placed. However, as we all know, luxury furniture are custom-made and the production and shipment of the order took longer than expected.

    I was able to talk to **** and relayed the information from our supplier but we don't have the tracking number yet. Our supplier confirmed through email (attached the screenshot of the email) that they are waiting for the carrier to pick up the order last week. Moreover, I don't want to stop there. I want to fix the root of this misunderstanding not only for **** but for our future customers. I created an after-sale process in order for our cutsomers to receive order status updates after placing the order. Aside from that, I reached out to **** to apologize for this matter and offered a $100 discount voucher, hoping to fix our relationship with our customer. Fortunately, **** emailed me 4 days ago that he received a call saying that his order will be delivered a day after. As the manager of Modern Wicker, I prioritize our customers' concerns and do my best to provide customer satisfaction.

    Again, I sincerely apologize and will make sure to provide timely updates to our customers, and will work for a solution to fix our supplier's delays.

    Please feel free to contact us directly at ************ if you require any additional information or if there are further steps we can take to address this matter. We value our BBB accreditation and are committed to resolving customer concerns promptly.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Sincerely,

    *******************
    Brand Manager
