Merrill was recognized in Newsweek America's Best Customer Service, 2023 popup published on August 31, 2022. The 2023 America's Best Customer Service rankings were identified from the results of an independent survey conducted May-July 2022 of more than 30,000 U.S. customers who have either made purchases, used services, or gathered information about products or services in the past three years. Customers evaluated several brands: in total over 200,000 evaluations were collected. The survey was conducted on retailers and service providers from 166 categories, providing results for a broad-spectrum of customer experiences in traditional retail, online and service segments. For each category, the most relevant brands were included in the scope of the survey according to reputation, turnover or market share. Learn more about methodology at Newsweek popup.
