As I am a punctual student, I always receive and send emails on time. But today I would like to talk about the time when I did not receive a reply on time and waited for a longer time. I vividly remember that last year when I ordered clothes from Amazon due to massive discounts on the New Year festival, I ordered two dresses from it. But when the parcel arrived, it dismayed my expectations because it had holes in the dresses, so I immediately requested an exchange from Amazon, but they turned down my request. I felt that I was left in the dark, so I finally wrote an email to the customer care center and expected that I would get a reply within 2 or 3 days, but to my dismay, they did not reply. So I finally decided to write a follow-up email to the reputable company, and they finally answered with an apology letter that they were busy with the emails due to a massive discount on dresses. Looking back, it taught me that patience is very crucial in every situation. Sometimes people are not ignoring you; they are busy with their work as well.
