When I was looking to buy a new jacket recently, I went online and looked at several retailers.

I found the one I liked on an American website but when they didn’t have my size in stock, I looked on Amazon UK.

My wife originally wanted me to get it from the American website because she knew delivery would be free there. But when I realized it would cost more than £30 for delivery that put me off! So, then we decided to look on Amazon instead says Peter DeCaprio.

Problem:

As you can see, not all businesses are equal when it comes to customer service – even though they’re selling the same product!

The first retailer had very little information about their returns policy and conditions while Amazon was upfront about what I should expect.

This is just one example of why online brands can have a real edge over physical shops. Customers are starting to place more importance on transparency and availability, among other things.

Conclusion:

Although the article was very long and had a lot of information, it had a low readability score because there were more than 10 sentences per paragraph and many more words and bullet points than necessary. The author did not make any claims but rather talked about what they would like to cover throughout the article. The main idea that I got from this article is that you should be open with your customers and give them as much information as possible so that they can easily make decisions on their own if need be.

This article is not very similar to the previous one because it does not talk about a specific product and how good or bad the customer service was. It only talks in general about how every aspect of customer service should be taken into consideration.

Abstract:

The abstract needed to be much shorter for this article because there were many aspects that the author wanted to mention. I believe that an abstract should mention everything that will be covered in the body of the text; however, here there would not have been enough space if all these things were mentioned and so they were mostly described briefly throughout the article instead.
