Hi Richard,
You are quite right in that I handle the majority of our customer service myself. This ensures I know exactly what is going on with our product and customers.
As you mention, you received a Loogun with a faulty reservoir seal, causing the device to leak. As a motorised product that also involves water, a certain percentage of faulty units is standard. Our fault rate on this model is higher than we'd like at around 5%, mainly due to the detachable reservoir, and when we receive a support request, we ensure we do everything we can to resolve the problem either with a replacement reservoir/device, or with a refund if the customer prefers.
As you noted, I replied immediately, apologising for you receiving a faulty device, and offering to send you a replacement reservoir to resolve the problem. I also included details of how to return the device if you preferred a refund and asked you to return it in it's original packaging.
On receiving it back, you had destroyed the retail packaging using packaging tape, and sent it back using no protective packaging, not even a plastic outer bag. I issued your refund and simply asked why you had purposefully destroyed the packaging, to which you accused me of being rude.
Your assertion above is that if I did not want you to destroy our packaging, I needed to explicitly state this. I find this a bit silly, sorry, I think it's common sense. I have no problem with a customer who has thrown the packaging away and securely sends a device back to us, but I don't think it's particularly fair to purposefully destroy it, and to call me rude for mentioning it, especially given I had already fully refunded you without any question or delay.
In each of your mails you attacked my service and told me your were reporting me. If you're going to do that, then you're likely to get a reply as a person is entitled to respond. I think you'll find that does not constitute harassment.
I do apologise for you receiving a faulty device and I appreciate that it's not a great experience. I can tell you however, that when testing your device, as explained, it was simply the reservoir seal that was causing the leak and we could've helped resolve it for you.
I hope you have a great weekend.

Hello Richard,
Thanks for the update. Given you received a faulty product, sent it back, and immediately received a refund, I'd suggest you might be over-reacting a touch. Take a deep breath because you haven't been wronged.
As for your math on our defects, what I said was that around 5% of devices have an issue with the reservoir seal. We can resolve this with a new seal that takes a customer about 20 seconds to replace on their device if it's faulty. You can continue to make as much fuss about this as you like, and represent it however you like, but it's coming across a little silly now.
Thanks,
Calan

Hello Richard,
Once again I'll have to correct you. Your statement says that 47% of people who bought the product, reviewed it poorly. Your math and logic have both failed you here.
A total of 7 people reviewed it poorly as they received a faulty product. On average, a product received about 6 reviews for every 1,000 units sold. So you may need to dramatically adjust your percentage if you'd like to seem even remotely credible. You're welcome to your own research if you really have that much time to waste.
This will be the last time I reply, but please do try to present your stats a little more accurately in future.
Regards,
Calan
