Good: Amazon Sends “Best Customer Service E-mail I’ve Ever Received”
This is a fantastic story, especially with the proximity to my recent post about great emails. Certainly the Amazon rep who wrote this response took more time, but here we are talking about how great Amazon service is (or at least can be). If this rep had said “my time is limited, I must focus on reducing costs, therefore turning emails as fast as possible”, Amazon would have missed out on this fantastic word of mouth reaction.
