How do you answer where-is-my-order emails?
To answer where-is-my-order emails, ask Maito in Slack with the order number. It checks the order in your store, the carrier's tracking and any past conversation, works out where the parcel is and why, and drafts a reply for you. If a delay needs a follow-up, it sets a reminder.
How it's done today
An agent opens the store, the carrier site and the email history for every question.
What Maito does
- Match the order to the customer
- Read the latest carrier scan
- Draft a sourced reply
- Flag stalled or odd cases
Example
@Maito Rosa Alvarez is asking where order #5108 is. Check it and draft a reply.
Order #5108 (2 candles, $64.00) shipped Oct 12. The last carrier scan was Oct 14, "arrived at facility, Memphis TN." Nothing since, which is 5 days. The promised date was Oct 17. Catch: the email asking about it came from her order address, so the match is good, but I won't say it was delivered or lost. The carrier hasn't said either. From the store order and the carrier tracking. Draft: "Hi Rosa, your order left us on Oct 12. The carrier's last scan was Oct 14 in Memphis, and it hasn't moved since. I'm asking them to look into it and will write again by Friday. If it hasn't arrived by then, we'll send a replacement or refund you." Want me to add a replacement offer?
@Maito Keep it as is and send it. Add a note on the order to check again Friday.
Sent to Rosa. I added the Friday note to #5108 and will remind you that morning.
