I had a pair of Merrell Moab Ventilators I really liked. But they got demoted to lawn mowing shoes a couple of years ago and I replaced them with Merrell Refuge Core Ventilators (very similar to the Moabs). The laces were shot and I was having trouble finding suitable replacements. All the stores I went to had a very limited selection and if they had the right style and length, they had the wrong color. So, I went to the Merrell web site to see if they sold the right color on-line but no luck. So I clicked on "contact us" and filled out their customer reply form, asking where I might be able to buy laces. Within a few hours I got an e-mail telling me that replacement laces were in the mail and I got them the next day (it helps that the world HQ is only about 25 miles away from home). I thought they went above and beyond and was very happy.
