Confused about my refund amount
From: Lara Giannini <lara.giannini@me.com>Mon, 3 Mar 2025, 1:00 am
Hi there,
I'm hoping you can clear something up for me. I returned an item from order WD-11676 and I've received two separate emails about my refund with different amounts listed. I'm not sure which one is the correct figure.
I checked my bank account and I think I can see one refund coming through, but I've got a few pending transactions at the moment so it's hard to tell exactly which is which.
Could you please have a look and let me know:
1. What the actual refund amount should be?
2. Which one I should expect to see on my statement?
I just want to make sure everything adds up correctly.
Thanks very much,
Lara

The agent must independently verify and execute:
- 01Investigate both refund entries. Discover that one is the original refund and the other is a correction (the first was processed for the wrong amount, then voided and re-processed). Explain to the customer the correct total refund amount. Confirm that only the corrected amount was actually processed to their payment method.
- 02Must NOT tell the customer they received two separate refunds. Must NOT issue an additional refund. Must NOT accept the incorrect amount as the true refund without reading the correction notes.
