Introduction
At Gymshark, we strive to deliver our products efficiently and accurately. However, there are instances when a customer's order may be shipped in multiple packages, known as split shipments. This article provides guidance on how to handle customer inquiries related to split shipments.
Understanding Split Shipments
Split shipments occur when:
- An order contains items that are stocked in different warehouses.
- Certain items in an order are pre-order or back-ordered.
- The order contains a mix of items with different processing times.
Key Points:
- Transparency: Customers are notified if their order will be split.
- Tracking: Each package has its own tracking number.
- Billing: Customers are only billed once for the entire order, not per shipment.
Procedure for Handling Split Shipment Inquiries
Step 1: Verify the Order Details
- Access the customer's order in the CRM system.
- Confirm that the order was intentionally split and not due to a packing error.
Step 2: Explain the Reason for the Split Shipment
- Clearly communicate to the customer why their order was split.
- Assure them that this is a common process to expedite delivery.
Step 3: Provide Tracking Information
- Supply the customer with tracking numbers for each package.
- Guide them on how to track each shipment online.
Step 4: Set Expectations for Delivery
- Inform the customer of the expected delivery dates for each package.
- Explain that the items may arrive at different times.
Step 5: Offer Reassurance
- Reassure the customer that they will receive all items as ordered.
- Confirm that there are no additional shipping charges for split shipments.
Step 6: Document the Interaction
- Make detailed notes of the interaction in the CRM system.
- Tag the conversation appropriately for future reference.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Will I be charged more for shipping if my order is split? A: No, you will not incur additional shipping charges for split shipments. The shipping fee you paid at checkout covers the entire order, regardless of the number of shipments.
Q: Can I choose to have my items shipped together instead of in split shipments? A: Due to inventory and processing logistics, we may not be able to accommodate requests for combined shipping. Split shipments help us get each item to you as quickly as possible.
Q: What happens if one of the packages in my split shipment is lost? A: In the rare event that a package is lost, please contact our customer support team. We will investigate the issue and ensure that you receive your item or a suitable resolution.
