Most retail contact is the same five questions about the same order. Roux answers them with the order actually open, and closes each one with something done, not something promised.
Illustrative conversation, not a recording

Hi, I ordered the linen shirt last week, order #58291. It arrived today but it's the wrong size.Roux
I can see order #58291: linen shirt, size M, delivered this morning. Would you like an exchange for another size, or a refund?Customer
Exchange for L, if you have it.Roux
Size L is in stock, so I've reserved one for you. A prepaid return label for the M is on its way to your email; drop it at any pickup point within 14 days.Customer
Great. When will the L arrive?Roux
It ships as soon as the return is scanned at the pickup point, usually 2–3 working days after. You'll get tracking by SMS.Checked against your policy and issued on the call, with the reason recorded, so finance never reverse-engineers a goodwill gesture.
Something done, on the callWhere is it, why is it late, and what happens next, answered from the carrier data, not read back from a template.
Carrier-awareStock checked, replacement reserved, label sent. The customer leaves the call with the exchange in motion, not with a case number.
Something done, not promisedRefund windows, return conditions and goodwill limits compile into the agent from the rules your team wrote. A generous mood is not a failure mode Roux has.
December looks like March to an agent that scales with the queue. Handoffs to your team stay reserved for the conversations that genuinely need a person.
“You'll get the label by email” is a promise. Roux sends it before the goodbye, and anything that must wait is watched until it's done.
