We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.
This product is listed on your site as containing 2 tubs, each weighing 3 pounds and 4.9 ounces, for a total weight of 6.6 pounds.
However, the product has been downsized by the manufacturer and now consists of 2 tubs, each weighing 2 pounds and 10.3 ounces, for a total weight of 5.28 pounds.
This is a reduction of 20%, which is quite large. I'm not sure what to do here, as I have already opened one of the tubs. Should I proceed with a return and attempt for a refund, and will the listing/price be adjusted?

Expect change
Be everywhere.
Obsess over customers
And finally
Shoot for the moon.
