Handle a request for unavailable product measurements

Handle a request for unavailable product measurements: a practical process, a clearly illustrated example and checks to use before the next live session.

A practical process

  1. Identify the exact measurement requested and distinguish internal from external dimensions.
  2. Check whether a reliable physical measurement can be taken during the session.
  3. If not, record the request and avoid substituting a guessed or unrelated measurement.

Worked example

A buyer needs the usable pocket opening, but the listing contains only the bag's outer width. Explain that these are different measurements. If a sample and ruler are available, show how you measure the opening and state any uncertainty in the reading.

Before the next session
