Hi there,

I have written a poor review on your Google profile and still nothing
from your team. I am going to report this to the police as fraud and
will get a lawyer involved. Have had enough.

Hi Chelsea,

Thank you for reaching out, and I truly understand how frustrated you
are. You’ve been incredibly patient throughout this process, and I’m
very sorry that you’re still waiting  that is never the experience we
want for our guests.

I want to reassure you that your refund request is active in our
system, and I’ve gone ahead and flagged it again with urgency to our
team. We are a small team working through an unusually high volume of
refunds, and I completely understand how upsetting this delay feels on
your end.

Please know that your refund is not being ignored, and this is not a
fraudulent situation. We are working to resolve every refund as
quickly as possible. I will keep monitoring your request and update
you the moment I see any movement.

I truly appreciate your patience, even if it has understandably run
thin, and I’m here if you need anything else.

Best,
Amanda

Hi there,

I have written a poor review on your Google profile and still nothing
from your team. I am going to report this to the police as fraud and
will get a lawyer involved. Have had enough.
