What came out

Good argumentation and right tone of voice

"I am pleased to confirm we do offer complimentary next day pick up in store for online purchases. This service is free, and in order to receive the item the day after you would have to place the order before 5:00pm Eastern Time"

“Please note the store would not be able to directly refund an online purchase, but they would facilitate the return by shipping the order back to our warehouse. We would then refund your card as soon as we receive the item back at the warehouse.”

"I am also pleased to confirm we can definitely ship an online order to the Hotel, but we are not able to do that for in-store purchases, as stores are not able to ship. Should you need to deliver an in-store purchase to your Hotel we would have to partner with the managers in the store”
