From “what would they like?” to checking a parcel. See how to ask, what to check and when it’s time to bring Miranda in.
Illustrative conversations, not a live chat or customer testimonials. Every person, perfume, address, order and amount in the examples is fictional. The drawings are original; the labels cannot be used for postage. Cleo is Miranda’s AI assistant, not a person.
It’s my partner’s birthday next week. I’d love to get them a perfume, but I’m not sure where to start.
Cleo
Let’s narrow it down. Do they have a favourite perfume, or a style they usually enjoy? And what budget would you like me to work with?
You
Fresh and woody, not too sweet. Around £50 including delivery. I’d prefer something new and boxed since it’s a present.
Cleo
My pick would be Cedar & Citrus Eau de Parfum, 50ml. It has a bright citrus opening and a softer woody base. This particular bottle is new and boxed, at £48.00 including delivery. A fresh direction without going sugary. Does that sound like their sort of thing?
You
It does. Could I see the actual bottle and box first?

Cleo
This bottle is new and comes with its presentation carton. It isn’t gift-wrapped. I can check the delivery information for you, although I can’t guarantee it will arrive before the birthday.
You
That’s fine. I’d like one, please. Use my saved Home address and Bank Transfer.
Cleo
I’ve added your choice to your basket. Here are the details to check before I place the order.

Lovely, thank you. How do I check delivery?
Cleo
Ask me about this order’s tracking or delivery history. I can share the carrier, tracking number and recorded updates when they’re available. A packing photo alone doesn’t mean the parcel has been dispatched.
Hi Cleo. Do you have Cedar & Citrus Eau de Parfum in 50ml? I’m looking for a new, boxed bottle.
Cleo
Yes — I have a new, boxed 50ml bottle available at £48.00 including delivery. Would you like a photo or the full description?
You
No thanks, that’s the one I want. Please add one to my basket and use my Office address, with Bank Transfer.
Cleo
I’ve added one to your basket. Here’s the order to check.

You’re welcome! If you need to check payment or delivery, just ask me about DEMO-OFFICE.
I’ve moved. Please replace my saved Home address for future orders.
Cleo
Of course. What is your new UK address or postcode? This will update your saved address, not the delivery address on an order you’ve already placed.
You
22 Illustration Road, Exampleton, EX0 0BB. Keep Alex Example as the recipient and make it my main address.
Cleo
I found 22 Illustration Road, Exampleton, EX0 0BB, UK. Is that the one you mean?
You
Yes, that’s the one. Keep using my customer email for dispatch updates.
Cleo · review
Here is what I understand you would like:
1. Replace your saved address “Home” with 22 Illustration Road, Exampleton, EX0 0BB, UK, for “Alex Example”, labelled “Home”. Dispatch email: use your customer email. Make this your main address.
Your existing orders will stay unchanged.
Reply to this message with YES to approve these exact changes, or NO to cancel. This review is valid for 5 minutes.
I can save these address changes once you confirm; no new email verification is needed.

Replying to the address review above
YES
Cleo
Saved: your Home address is now 22 Illustration Road, Exampleton, EX0 0BB, UK, for Alex Example, and it is your main address. Dispatch emails use your customer email. Your existing orders are unchanged.
You
Does that move my birthday order to the new address too?
Cleo
No — that order still has the original delivery address. If you need it changed, I can ask Miranda to help with that specific order. I can’t promise an amendment or redirect a parcel that has already been sent.
You
No need; I can still collect it from the old address. Just use the new one for future orders.
Cleo
Understood. Your saved Home address is ready for future orders. You can still check the delivery address in each order review before confirming.
Home. Office. A friend’s place. One customer, more than one doorstep.

Can I keep my Home and Office addresses and add my friend’s place too? I sometimes send them a present.
Cleo
Of course. What is your friend’s UK address or postcode, and whose name should go on the parcel?
You
Jordan Example, 8 Imaginary Close, Exampleton, EX0 0DD. Please call it Jordan’s place.
Cleo
I found 8 Imaginary Close, Exampleton, EX0 0DD, UK. Is that the address you mean?
You
Yes. Keep Home as my main address, and send dispatch updates to my usual customer email.

YES
Cleo
Saved — Jordan’s place has been added with Jordan Example as the recipient. Your Home and Office addresses are still there, and Home is still your main address. Dispatch updates will go to your customer email.
You
So my account stays in my name, but the parcel can say Jordan Example?
Cleo
Exactly. You’re still the customer; Jordan is the delivery recipient. When you want to send something there, ask me to use Jordan’s place. You’ll see Jordan’s name and the full address in the order review before you confirm.
You
And this won’t change the order I already placed for my office?
Cleo
That’s right — DEMO-OFFICE keeps its Office delivery address. Adding Jordan’s place only gives you another address to choose for future orders.
Where’s my order? Follow the story of your parcel.

Hi Cleo, where’s my birthday order DEMO-BIRTHDAY? Could you show me what’s happened so far?
Cleo
Your parcel is with Royal Mail. The latest update I have is Out for Delivery.
Tracking number: DEMO-TRACKING
Here’s the history I have:
7 October, 14:20 — Packed
7 October, 16:10 — Dispatched
8 October, 06:45 — In Transit update received
8 October, 08:15 — Out for Delivery update received
You
Does that mean it will arrive this morning?
Cleo
It’s out for delivery, but I don’t have a confirmed delivery time. The carrier updates show when the notifications reached us, rather than a live location for the parcel.
You
Can I still see how it was packed?
Cleo
Yes — here’s the item prepared for your order, followed by the packed parcel.

The latest update now says Delivered.
8 October, 12:40 — Delivered update received
You
Thanks. What if it says delivered but I can’t find it?
Cleo
Let me know and I can ask Miranda to help with this order. I can share the recorded updates, but I can’t confirm where the parcel was left unless that information is available.
Current customer tasks, with example requests and the important limits. Open any heading to read more. Available actions depend on your account, the item or order, and the checks Cleo needs to make.
Find your next scent
Try: “Fresh and woody, under £50. What would you choose?”
Tell Cleo what you enjoy, your budget, a favourite fragrance or who you’re buying for. Ask for comparisons, a different direction, an exact perfume or recent arrivals. New arrivals means newly added to inventory, not necessarily a new-condition bottle. Recommendations use the eligible items and recorded facts available at the time.
Know the actual bottle
Try: “Is this one used? What does the box look like?”
Ask about size, concentration, listed price, condition, box, label, spray, recorded fill level or batch number, and for the full description or available photos. Facts and photos must belong to that particular item. Missing information stays unknown; new does not automatically mean sealed, gift-wrapped or a pristine box.
Keep a basket, not a commitment
Try: “Add that one to my basket. What have I chosen so far?”
You can keep a basket before registering, change quantities, remove an item, clear it explicitly or return to it later. Cleo refreshes price and availability before checkout. A suggestion is not an addition, and a basket does not reserve stock or place an order. Stopping an unplaced draft does not empty your basket.
Put something on your wish list
Try: “Can you add this perfume to my In Search Of list?”
Registered customers can view, add, edit or remove an agreed sourcing request, including the product, quantity, condition and optional target price. This In Search Of list is separate from your basket. It is not a stock reservation, a guarantee of finding it, an automatic purchase or a promise of a future message.
Make your first purchase
Try: “It’s my first order. What do you need from me?”
You can discuss perfume and keep a basket first. For a first order, Cleo collects your name, email and a chosen UK delivery address, then asks you to use Reply to give permission to prepare a draft. That is not permission to place the order. Your customer and address details are saved only with the separate final order confirmation; supplying an email does not verify its mailbox.
Check it, change it, then confirm
Try: “Use my Home address and Bank Transfer. Show me the order.”
Check every item, quantity, total, payment method, recipient and delivery address in the full review. Ask for corrections before confirming. A clear reply such as “Please place that order” authorises the unchanged reviewed order; a question or hesitation does not. Larger selections may need separate reviewed orders. A draft is not a reservation, and a created order is initially unpaid.
Pay using your own order’s instructions
Try: “Where should I pay, and has my payment been confirmed?”
Cleo can retrieve the exact amount, destination and reference for your saved order. Bank Transfer and PayPal depend on the available choices. Where PayPal is offered, check both Friends & Family and Goods & Services amounts and the fee notice in the real review; do not calculate from this guide. Bank confirmation is usually within five minutes; PayPal can take up to six hours. These are expected times, not guarantees. “I paid” is not proof of receipt. Ask for a fresh check rather than paying twice.
Find an order and check its journey
Try: “What is happening with my most recent order?”
Cleo can find your recent orders, or look up your own order by its reference, and read its items, recipient, saved delivery address, carrier, tracking number and recorded packing or delivery updates. Ask for payment and refund facts too. A recorded tracking notification is not a live courier location. Missing tracking does not prove that a parcel is lost.
See Packaging and Box photos
Try: “Can I see the packing photos for my order?”
Ask for the saved Packaging image showing the prepared item, and the Box image showing the shipping parcel, when available. These are different from a product photo shown before buying. Photos are not always present; neither a missing image nor a photo-send problem establishes the parcel’s status. This guide uses original drawings, never customer photographs.
Cancel the right thing
Try: “Please cancel my unpaid Bank Transfer order [my order reference].”
Be clear whether you mean an unplaced draft or an already-created order. Cleo can cancel your own eligible Bank Transfer order awaiting payment only when no current payment record exists and the other order checks allow it. A paid, refunded or otherwise ineligible order needs Miranda’s help. A cancellation request is not a refund, and an uncertain result is not a reason to repeat it blindly.
Check your own details and pick up the conversation
Try: “What delivery addresses do I have saved?”
Cleo can read your own customer details and saved addresses in an authorised conversation. Your basket and available chat history help you resume, but old messages are not current prices, payment proof or fresh permission. Ask to correct a misunderstanding rather than assume perfect memory. Private details need the appropriate account checks.
Manage your saved delivery addresses
Try: “Replace Home with my new address and make it the main one.”
List, add or replace a supported UK address; change its label, recipient, dispatch email or main-address choice. Select the actual lookup result, then check the complete review and use WhatsApp Reply with YES or NO. An initially mailbox-verified, linked account does not need another email code for an address-only change. Initial verification or mixed account changes may need proof. Choose another main address before archiving the old main one. Saved-address changes never rewrite an existing order.
Change account details safely
Try: “Please change my account name and contact phone.”
Cleo can review name, contact-phone and account-email changes together without dropping part of your request. Use Reply on the exact review, then complete any required mailbox check using the real prompt. A new account email has its own verification step; other approved changes may remain saved if that step cannot finish. A delivery dispatch email is separate from your verification email. Changing contact phone does not move your WhatsApp account.
Set up or recover your own account
Try: “I need help accessing my existing account from this WhatsApp number.”
Cleo can guide supported account setup or proof-based recovery. An email address or old number is a lookup hint, not proof of ownership. Follow the protected verification and confirmation messages; never send a password. If you cannot access the saved mailbox or the checks cannot be completed, ask for help rather than creating a duplicate account. First-order setup is the separate route described above.
Request permanent account deletion
Try: “I’d like to delete my customer account.”
Cleo can guide the dedicated verification and permanent-deletion process. Mailbox proof is not final deletion approval: read the warning, then use Reply for the separate YES or NO. Deletion cannot be undone. Historical orders or financial records may remain where needed for business or legal record-keeping; this does not cancel orders or issue refunds.
Ask for Miranda’s help
Try: “I need to change the delivery address on an order I already placed.”
Cleo can request Miranda’s assistance with an unresolved purchase, amendment, cancellation, refund or other service issue, and check the help request’s status. Ask to stop that help request or return to it later if your plans change. A request sent is not an amendment, refund, completed action or guaranteed response time. Cleo should tell you honestly when a result is still unconfirmed.
Not everything is a chat shortcut.
Cleo cannot invent availability, approve her own discounts, issue a refund herself, edit somebody else’s account or guarantee delivery. Automated listing offers, wait-list promotions and payment or packing messages are not promised by this guide. An In Search Of request is not an alert subscription.
If a check fails, ask for clarification or help. A failed check does not prove “no stock”, “not paid” or “nothing changed”. Do not repeat a payment or a possibly completed request just to try again.
