Literally the worst customer support experience I've ever had to deal with -- Why don't they let their customers speak to supervisors on demand?

Call 1: I spoke to them to see if I was eligible for an upgrade. It turned out they had accidentally counted a temporary phone switch to an old device as an upgrade. The representative was extremely slow minded and took over an hour to read through my notes and process what I was saying happened, consulting with his supervisor multiple times. He claimed to have noted everything and told me I had to go to a verizon store to verify in person that I was still using my original phone, and that then I would be able to get an upgrade immediately.
Trip to the store: Drove an hour only to be told by the store rep that there were NO NOTES on my account about the issue and there was nothing he could do to help me and that I'd have to call customer support again. The store was closing in 20 mins and customer support seems to take 45 minutes minimum to resolve anything, so I left.
Call 2: Asked a woman to speak to a supervisor about the guy who wasted 2+ hours of my life and gas money. She put me on hold for a long time, came back and said they were all busy right now, would I like to leave my complaint with her? I said no thank you, I will keep waiting. She said ok, and proceeded to hang up.
Call 3: Asked a different woman to speak to a supervisor, she put me on hold for a long time and then told me that since I wasn't an authorized user I could not speak to one... lol ok. Had a family member call and authorize me.
Call 4: Asked a guy to speak to a manager. He insisted on taking the complaint himself. Why would I trust someone to take a complaint about their colleague possibly sitting a few desks away when many of them have proven to be incredibly incompetent already? It sounded like we were making progress... then he hung up too.
Call 5: Asked yet another woman to speak to the manager. She demanded a reason, I told her it was to make a complaint and she told me about a dozen times that the managers would just tell her to take the complaint. I insisted, she refused... finally I threatened to close all of our accounts unless she let me speak to a manager. She said they couldn't right now since the office was closing soon, but that one would call me within 24-48 hours. I'd bet my life savings that never happens. At that point I tried to talk to her about the original upgrade issue, and she said her system had suddenly crashed and that I'd have to call back the next day... Seriously???
Absolutely unreal how horrible their customer support is. Will be switching to T-Mobile immediately.

Having worked in customer service, I have some experience with this kind of situation. Reps are typically trained to make all attempts to handle complaints by themselves, because there are obviously many more reps than supervisors. They're usually REQUIRED to fully authorize the account and to get the whole situation from the customer prior to referring you to a supervisor. One of the biggest problems is that many customers think that demanding a supervisor is a way to guarantee you will get what you want. If the reason for your request to escalate isn't a valid one, the supervisor won't give in to you either.
There are plenty of times in my own experience, especially as a brand new rep out of training, that I took a long time to research and get an understanding of the issue. Yes, I wasn't moving at light speed, but that doesn't make me an idiot. It means I was trying to gather as much info s possible to try and deal with the issue. But I had plenty of customers tell me I was stupid and to transfer them to my supervisor, simply because I took longer than their patience could tolerate to get all the details I needed.
I have never had a job that I executed flawlessly day in and day out. Maybe you have and that's why you can't tolerate a person taking a little longer to wrap their head around the issue, but I'd rather doubt it.
I also don't think you will find reps who work at light speed and utilize a magic wand to fix people's issues at T-Mobile, either, but I guess it never hurts to try.
Just to clarify: I do not work for Verizon and never have. I worked for a residential phone and internet company.

Why Sony Xperia care (France) is the WORST customer support I ever seen?

Hello, I am desperate and disgusted by Sony that I believed to be a serious 'high end' company. The promises of 2 years guaranty and reparations within 10 days sound enthusiastic. But from my experience it is far, far away from truth:- After 8 months, my Xperia Z2 tablet suddenly stopped working during software update to Lollipop (black screen, unable to turn it on anymore).- Confident I sent it to Sony care expecting it back (repaired or a new device) within 10 days. BUT, 8 days after having received my device they just sent a message saying that the reparations are not covered by the guaranty (without any explanation why) and that I must pay a ridiculous quotation of 414EUR, stating that everything in my tablet has to be replaced. (why???)- After many unanswered e-mails and many attempts to get a phone contact, I got the reason of the guaranty refusal: I sent an USB cable that was not Sony branded and they consider it as an incompatible accessory!!!! (Ridiculous).I am waiting since one month for a solution. The main problem is that nobody takes care about customers. There is no way to have an answer. I already had low cost Chinese made devices, and their support was of a much better quality than Sony.

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that.
Unfortunately, I cannot do anything from my position and neither can we at the support forum answer these questions. Warranty may differ from market to market and repair process is handled at a local level. You need to raise this with your local support team for further information about your repair and how to proceed with this in the best possible way. I suggest that you place a call to your local support team:

Does Apple Canada have the worst customer support ever?

Yes! Ask me why...
I'm posting here a) to warn other Mac users what to expect if you ever need customer support and b) because there's no where you can actually e-mail comments to Apple, and trying to contact customer support has been fruitless (see below).
Here's what happened to me...
I bought my iBook just under three years ago - a few weeks ago, the logic board went. Now, because I purchased the computer less than three years ago, that's covered under the extended warranty for iBook logic boards (see here: http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/).
Simple, right? Well, I took my computer in to my local authorized service provider about three weeks ago. They confirmed the logic board was the problem... copied my receipt for the iBook to prove date of purchase... agreed that it was covered by the warranty.
However, when they sent all this to Apple, their reply was that it was NOT covered because it was manufactured more than three years ago (although Apple's own website says it's purchase date - not manufacture date - that's important).
I called Apple last Monday to find out what was going on. Spoke to a nice fellow named Kevin who said he'd look into it, and call me back the next day.
Next day passed... no call. I called Kevin back left a message, and indicated I'd like to know what was going on.
Wednesday passed... no call. By this point, I'm getting anxious - the service provider can't move ahead without authoriztion from Apple, Apple's not returning my calls (or the service provider's) to grant authorization.
I tried Kevin again on Thursday. Left another message. No reply.
Tried back on Friday morning. Left another message. Still no reply.
Called customer support again Friday night. Antoine puts me hold for a half hour. I call back, explain that I've been on hold for half an hour, ask how long the wait should be. Antoine says two or three minutes. He puts me on hold again.
For another ten minutes.
I call back. Antoine explains that the reason I'm on hold is probably because customer service is closed. So why was I on hold for nearly an hour listening to terrible music? That's one of the mysteries of Apple customer support...
So here I am, with a computer that's been in the shop nearly three weeks, that can't be repaired because Apple won't honour its warranty, and no way to even find out what's going on, because Apple's customer service is such an unnavigable maze.
The sad thing is, I usually like Apples. I was even going to buy a new one this summer.
Now - not a chance.
The moral of the story? If you own an Apple, pray nothing ever goes wrong with it. If you expect your computer to ever need repairs, I'd suggest getting rid of your Apple now.
If you're considering buying an Apple - consider again.
As for me - from now on, make mine Microsoft.
iBook G3 700 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Does Apple Canada have the worst customer support ever?
I doubt it.
Seriously, would you like some help?
Call back, and don't mess around with Customer Service. Immediately ask for Customer Relations. These are the people whose job it is to make an unhappy customer happy again. They aim to please.
A polite, but seriously disappointed tone of voice is what you need, so take some deep breaths until you can achieve that.
There was an article in the February, 2005, issue of Reader's Digest called "How to Complain." Please read these tips. Then call and tell Customer Relations your sad experience with Customer Service.
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president of an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it.
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck!
(P.S. Microsoft doesn't make computers; just the crappy OS that goes on them.)

X240 complaint - the worst customer service/experience I have ever had

Hi All,
I may be having the worst customer experience of my life (hopefully). Here is a summary of my tale:
I am about to enter the final stage of a PhD and start tutoring, so I need a portable laptop.
I believe that Lenovo is a professional company, which will provide quality laptops and good service. I choose them over dell and apple.
February: Buy x240 with 3 year warrenty. 1 month for laptop to arrive. Comes with a Dead pixel near middle of screen.
March: As permitted by my warranty, I replace hard drive with new working ssd - it fails smart disk test after a few days in laptop
I replace hard drive with new working ssd - it fails smart disk test after a few days in laptop
April: After two new samsung ssds failing (and the third one I bought not having any issues in my desktop) and five installs (and two months wasted) I ring a CSR
I explain I think I may have an issue with the motherboard. He says, send in the laptop and the SSD and we will replace/fix it. I clarify several times that the HD is not the one I recieved with the laptop. He says it is no issue. I get sent a box and send the laptop in.
May: A week later I recieve call from CSR (ALVIN) saying that I will need to pay for new hard drive. He obviously doesn't understand my issue at all. I am unwilling to pay unless they send me back my disk so I can get the refund on it. He says he will get back to me. I say I will take a quote as I want to see if it is reasonable.
After a few days, I call to see what is happening. I am told by ANNE that they will fix my motherboard for free and send me the hard disk back, but charge for the new hard disk put in.
I get a a quote for $484 charging for courier costs and service. No information as to how it relates to the parts
I refuse to accept the quote and send an email explaining the issue, and that I need the laptop back asap as I am leaving the country soon.
I get a message back saying we will send you a new quote. I am also told that they tested the computer and the motherboard is at fault (contradicting what I was told before)
After a week or so I get a new quote for $484. The issue description has changed and they have screwed up the tax charge. No information as to how the charges relates to the parts being replaced, or what I will even get
After some more emails I am getting emails, and they won't even put their name on the email, so that I can see who I am talking to (even when I ask)
'[email protected]'; '[email protected]'; '[email protected]' are my case managers but they are impossible to contact, and not very useful
I find out that I cannot get a rfund on the SSD I sent as it has taken too long for me to claim (I lose $169 that it cost me)
I buy an Macbook pro with applecare to use as my laptop in future.
After a few more emails, I ring a CSR, they tell me that there was a mistake with the last quote and I will get a new one.
Five days later, I call about the issue. I am told that the depot has not got back to them, but that I will get a call the next day and a quote.
I don't get a call or a quote. I ring again and I am told that some other department is handling it, and that I need to wait.
I think it has nearly been a month now that they have had the laptop for now, and I have yet to use myself as it has broken every time I set it up. I am just glad I can afford to buy a different brand of computer, otherwise I would pretty screwed as I need my laptop to travel on the 6th of June.

Just an update. I still haven't got it back (I leave the country in 4 days) and I asked for it to be returned over a week ago. Sent a email in last week (after calling and being told things would be sorted) Just going to ring up again and ask them what is happening now.

Defective t440s and the worst customer support I've ever received

2 months ago I purchased a t440s that arrived defective. Notably, the screen was the upgraded FHD IPS panel. My unit came with the LG model, which is notorious for being defective. The screen had bad viewing angles (its main selling point...), about 1.5 inches of light bleed along the bottom, and significant yellow tinting outside of a medium-sized circle in the middle of the screen. Additionally, the trackpad was too far left in its housing and would ocassionally *get stuck beneath the case* and ALWAYS scrape against it.
After waiting 3 weeks for my laptop to arrive, I requested a repair after owning it for 2 days and sent in my laptop-- at the end of September. I didn't receive any updates on the status of my repair until several days ago. I was unable to answer the call and the voicemail Lenovo left only said that my repair was pending. After attempting to contact support myself and being placed on hold for absurd lengths of time, I gave up.
Earlier today I received another call. The rep told me that my laptop wouldn't be able to BEGIN being repaired until November 24th, at the very least. This is due to a backorder on replacement screens. I'm assuming that's because they're having to replace more than just a few.
The rep offered to have my laptop swapped with a new unit, yet I'll have to speak with another person who won't be calling me until "sometime next week" to actually have this done.
The girl I spoke with to initially request my repair was very kind and knowledgeable. Everything following that has been unacceptable at best.
I purchased from Lenovo after being told by numerous peers that their quality was legendary across the board. I don't think I'll ever purchase another Lenovo product in my life and I will definitely try to dissuade anyone from making the same mistake I did.
You suck, Lenovo. You really **bleep**ed me here.

I gotta say that when I was dealing with customers services I thought they were fantastic, and this was back in June. Now my player has sadly broken again...ugh...twice in a year...which is making me consider just buying something else, I know all mp3 players are reportedly like this, but its just not right... ...and I'm pretty sure Creative just have a big warehouse of faulty Zen's which they put all the faulty ones in when they get returned, and then they just pick up another one and send it out to you. I also find it ridiculous that there is no telephone support for everyone...which would solve alot of problems... I sent Customer Support an e-mail, so when should I hear back? My Zen doesn't charge properly, and for the past couple of days any time i turn it on it just freezes...Message Edited by Kid-Eternity on 2-0-200608:23 AM

How do you get a human being from Apple for customer service? This is the worst customer support ever seen!

How do you get an actual human being to speak with at apple to help with customer service?

The Apple Support COMMUNITIES is a user-operated apple-run page where users of the COMMUNITY help other people the best they can. Apple employees do not have anything to do with this page apart from own the servers and design it. If you want to speak to Apple then go to their Customer Support here: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/contact/
Remember, this isn't a customer support page, it's a community forum based on using Apple products. If you wish to refer to Apple employees then this is the wrong website.
Hope this helps.

Worst customer support experience!

I bought a brand new Toshiba 40" (40FT2U) in January 2012. On April 4, it died. Toshiba reports that it is a failed Mainboard and would arrange for someone to replace the bad part. As of April 16, the part is still on back order and there is no eta on when it will be repaired.
I was escalated to Chris in Customer Support, who basically told me too bad. He asked me to send my sales slip over and he would contact the repair center 4 days from now. After that, he would call me back to advise how much longer it would take until it could be repaired. When I asked to speak to his manager, I was advised that he "had already answered that question" and he disconnected me.
I have called the Corporate Office and asked to have a manager call me back regarding both Chris' rudeness and on the repair experience I'm having regarding a brand new television. I don't actually expect anyone will call me, but I work as a Supervisor in IT Customer Support and can tell you that heads would roll if one of my staff spoke with a customer the way Chris spoke to me.

OH MY GOD!!!!! I am horrified reading this thread.
I am in the same boat as exactly 4 other users all quoting the same reply from customer service execs for the same Model.
I got a 40" 40FT2U1 LCD on 10th Feb. The TV died and failed to even turn on on 27th April. Since then I have been following up with the customer support and the only answer I get is the case has been handed over to the service partner Nexicor.
Toshiba refused to give an ETA on when the TV will be fixed pusing the responsiblity on Nexicor. Nexicor says the ETA is 24th May to the part to be available. Tech will schedule an appointment after that to come and fix the TC
I tried talking with two case manager they just keep saying that we have to wait for the part to come. Looking at the earlier replies in this thread, TOshiba is clearly struggling to get the spare in time to the repair techs.
I was completley disgusted when a case manager started counting 14 business days to make any other statement. I said stop givving rubbish excuses and put forth the exact situation.
Toshiba being the part provider should be able to stand and clearly say that the spare are not in stock. No product spare takes 4 weeks in backorder. In my case the mainboard is to be replaced.
I completely understand that electronics do fail and they can fail unexpectedly. However what matters is living to the brand name and providing good service in such situations.
I can definielty say that the Model is a lemon for sure considering the amount of failures that occur within the first 3 months of usage.
If you cannot repair the TV in reasonable time, replace the TV with another one of different model and comparable specifications.
Thats is how you stand behind your products , own responsiblities and provide customer support.
I too work in the a customer facing support environment and give excellent customer service.

Skype has by far the worst customer support I've e...

I must say, I've been confronted with the worst of the worst: Comcast, Valve, AT&T but your customer service is a new peak.
It's the most incompetent and unprofessional customer service I've seen in pretty much my whole lifetime.
I had a rather simple issue of my account being compromised and my password changed. So I contacted Customer Service step by step by your FAQ, filled out the form and provided all necessary information. Since that point, I have received 4 mails from 3 different employees (? I'm not even sure if these are human beings or just automated bots), telling me the same thing over and over again, prompting me to fill out the same form that I've already filled out thrice(!) with no results whatsoever. I keep getting the same copy-pasted default text every time.
Do you people just have a network of bots sending a case around while copypasting the same text in it with the variety of putting one made up name from a long list to give the customer the illusion that his case is actually being worked on?
So, customer service obviously has no intentions of helping me recover my account and drags a usual case in bueracracy without any results while treating their customers like complete morons.
I will be looking for an alternative messanger for me and everyone I know and not going to bother making a new account, knowing how things are handled around here.
I guess this is what the illusion of monopoly does to you. Making you treat your customers like utter garbage because they "have no other choice". Way to go, Microsoft.
Edit: I just saw in related posts that other people had the same problem with the same frustration and never got an answer so I just wasted another 10 minutes on absolutely nothing because Skype doesn't care about their customers. I'm actually not surprised, seeing similar things in the industry every day.

I also was talking to Francis F. Who forwarded me to the security team. I also asked if it would make any diffrence instead of being asked the standard 4 questions I got asked many times. She said Yes. Today I saw my mailbox and suddenly saw a skype message from the security team. It had the same 4 questions in it I need to awnser before getting any help...

Verizon has given me the worst customer support.

Recently i had dropped my iphone and the outer glass cracked. So I went to go to them to get a new one through insurance. They wil not ship it to my school adress. No one knows why not they just wont. So i called the insurance company and they will not give me service because I am not the account owner. My mom lives 300 miles away back home.... All I want is to give them the money and they ship me a new phone. Is this really that hard. I am really considering dropping verizon becaues of this poor assistance, and because i pay insurance year round. then when it comes time to use it i have to pay almost as much as i did for the phone. And on top of that im gettin a refurbished phone. This is sad.

Don't EVER BUY HP again the worst customer service experience I have ever had.

$39 dollar to answer a question regarding a product you sell! Mathew employee [text removed for privacy] not only rude and not helpful but actually gave me the wrong number to call for his supervisor. An hour and a half of wasted time at work trying to get a simple question answered. I have never had a problem with Dell customer service or products. Now my employer knows and will never buy HP again as well. Hopefully by writing this it will save someone the time, energy, and headache. Keep doing business like that HP and you won’t have one.

By far the worst customer service experience

I haven't had Comcast for a year and every time I contact customer service nothing is done correctly. It took them 3 months just t give me the correct package and on top of that none of my request have ever been "noted" in my account. I requested to do a payment arrangement in one of the local store branches and was told that my service will stay active as long as I kept up with the payment agreement . Well 2 days later my service was disconnected. I had tried contacting customer service for the past 3 days. Finally on the 3rd day someone FINALLY ANSWERS the phone JUST to tell me that they have no record of me requesting a payment arrangement and that I would have to pay the next 2 months balance upfront to restore my service. When I ask to speak to a manager I get told that the department I need to speak with is not available on Weekends ... I'm so over Comcast and am waiting for them to come get their equipment!!!!!

Not a novel but you wrote a short story!

Good luck at your new provider. However I think they are all starting to get just a bad as what you went through with Verizon.
Good Luck

WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT EVER + COMPLAINT

WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT ISSUE EVER - I purchased an HP Laptop in Sept 2011. I had an issue with my SD card reader and some flickering upon Startup on my screen. I was on the phone with 3 reps only for them to tell me that bc I was calling from a Canadian line, they had to transfer me to a Canadian rep (after I had already spent 50mins with an "American" rep). I called the number that was on my HP Support Assistant. After being transferred to my 4th "Canadian" rep, I asked them to call me back asap on my landline bc my cell phone was dying. Waited 10 mins - NO CALL. Had to charge my phone to use my browser on it bc I was left in the middle of a trouble shooting issue with no access to the internet to then look up a Canadian HP support number. Now on the phone with my 5th HP support rep, had to re-explain my issues with my laptop, he remotely tried to troubleshoot my issues from INDIA (Jon) he says his name is, and still no success. Total time on the phone now with HP 2+ hours. I asked to speak to the supervisor. Put on hold for 20 mins. Then my landline cordless phone DIED. "Jon" calls me back and puts me on hold again but none of my phones have any battery life so I asked numerous times for a box to be sent to me and he kept telling me I had to HOLD for a supervisor in order to authorize for a box to be sent to me. I hung up. I repeatedly told Jon, we attempted all the troubleshooting and driver updates and that I had to get off the phone immediately. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER WITH A CUSTOMER SUPPORT LINE AND STILL NO REMEDY TO MY ISSUES. I don't even know where to send a complaint. My frustrations with this laptop and customer support are through the roof bc I still have no remedy to this issue. {Personal Information Removed} And who knows if a repair box is even going to get sent. This is not a good situation for a grad student dependent on their laptop. All my contact information is in the ticket number. Hope that if someone from HP ever contacts me in regards to this issue will have a quick solution as I have spent more than enough time on the phone with them.

You're a close second in the race for worst experience but I think I win. I purchased my Pavilion on 11/28/11, under Walmart's special return policy eff. 12/26/11. That meant I had until Jan. 10 to return. Didn't even open and register until after Christmas as it was a gift to myself. On the 8th, I encountered some issues, shut down, rebooted later , had the same happen again. Tried twice more and gave up. On the 9th, same problem, finally got a HP # from a neighbor's kid, b/c I couldn't w/o a manual or laptop. Got some iYogi company who checked for viruses, etc and tried to frighten me into buying more spyware. They were actually affiliated w/HP, I found later. After that waste of time, went to my neighbor's again to google a number, got the correct one and began my nightmarishish journey into HP hell. Christina kept me on the phone an hour that night, checking for problems, setting into motion updates which she told me should correct the problem. I told her I was just going to return it the next day but she said to wait, to give them a chance to correct the problems first. She felt sure the updates would do it. Updates ran all night and were still running when I returned from from work the next day! I called tech support and it just got worse from there. In 9 days, I talked / held (for12 hrs&35 min) to 14 reps. Only 5 of were not rude and could be understood, the remainder horrible, absolutely horrible. By wasting my time with these people and allowing them to railroad me with their repeated attempts at recovery, I missed my window of opportunity to return the piece of junk. Oh - the salt in the would was that on the 13th, I spent one hour holding until they finally figured out the HP was having technical problems. The irony....
Anyway, when I discovered I couldn't return it, I thought, surely they will replace it or refund my $$, after all they are the self proclaimed "pc leader". They can't just not replace it or give me a refund, can they? I mean, this is America, that's what you do. Little did I know that they do indeed have in place the dreaded 21 day policy I'd read about in complaint forums. Before I realized this to be true, I accused a couple of tech support staff of stalling while that period expired. They denied it of course, just asking for "another 5 minutes" of my time. Apparently this is part of the "HP process" after all. They hold you, your time and your laptop hostage until they're satisfied that you have no recourse but to allow them to repair it and return to you. Now - I will be stuck with this worthless piece of ****. Whether it works or not after it is returned to me, I don't care. I will buy another and try to sell this on Craig's list. I have no confidence in their product and will NEVER buy another or speak to another HP person as long as I live. I could go on and on about the ludicrous, pathetic service I received because it is almost unbelievable but I'm sure most already know how insanely loathsome it is.
There is only thing that could make me feel better about this experience and wasting my hard earned 359.00. That would be to locate an HP store, taking the piece of trash there and throw at someone, watching it shatter into a million pieces. Unfortunately, I can't even get that satisfaction, as the nearest store is 200 miles away. So instead - I'm going to copy and paste this complaint on every site even remotely related to electronics, including Walmart's, Best Buy, etc. I'm going to email it to all my friends, associates. And then I'll put it on Facebook. I do have a Case Manager # for you though, although I hope that surely by now you don't need it. {Personal Information Removed} Knowing these guys, though, you probably still have no resolution.

DISGUSTED, HORRIFIED, ANGRY, WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD at Verizon Wireless.

DISGUSTED, HORRIFIED, ANGRY, WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER HAD at Verizon Wireless. I have been trying to return my Iphone 5S for the past week. I’ve been to 3 different Verizon Wireless stores in 2 states and have spent countless hours trying to get the return processed. The Verizon Wireless IT system is literally INCAPABLE of processing my return. I purchased an Iphone 5S under the Edge plan. I traded in my old Iphone 4S and was given a gift card. This gift card went towards the payment of the first month of the Edge plan, the tax on the 5S, and a screen protector. When I tried to return the device after 1 week the system literally could not process the return in multiple stores. A call was put into the operations department on my behalf 5 days ago and I haven’t heard anything back. I am not looking for a handout or a freebie I just want to return my phone as I am allowed to do under Verizon Wireless’ terms and conditions. Today is the last day of the 2 week return period although I was assured by a store manager that this will not apply to me due to my situation but I am skeptical given the situation. I would like to get this resolved ASAP. I am incredibly frustrated and disgusted and if/when I am able to return this device I would strongly consider leaving Verizon. I would think the largest carrier in the country would be able to process a simple return. This is totally unacceptable.

Hello cmc29,
I would like to truly apologize for the state of affairs you’ve found yourself in, as it’s never fun to be without a washer (or dryer) for any length of time. For me, laundry just seems to appear overnight, and I can only imagine how daunting of a task washing all of it would be after watching it pile up for a few weeks. I’m sure it only complicated things when our appointments continuously fell through for various reasons, and I’m sorry for the aggravation this added to already frustrating situation.
When your delivery day arrives, you should receive a call from us to narrow down the time frame to a 2 hour window. This is done because our delivery agent’s schedule isn’t fully determined until the day of service as our customer’s needs may change prior to the delivery date. These routes are then best optimized to fit the appointments scheduled for the day. After looking through your delivery date for your dryer, I see that your slot was from 5:30 to 7:30. Something was clearly miscommunicated if you thought otherwise though, and it’s even worse to hear that it arrived in less than pristine condition. Please know that I’m looking into this to see what options we may have to fix this.
Upon review of your order, I see that your washer is awaiting transit from one of our warehouses to one near you. Please know that I’m currently collaborating with both of them to make sure they are aware of your impending delivery date of 8/4, and I’ll update you as soon as more information becomes available.
I greatly appreciate your patience, and I’ll be in touch very soon.

Hi richmc. I will only deal with the last part of your message.
You say that you want to use Outlook 2007 to collect your mail. That is not a problem, it is just an email client. BT do not supply this email client. Microsoft do.
You cannot expect BT to be able to assist customers with all the different email clients available to use. You can get the server details etc to set it up yourself.
Most ISP's are the same on support issues for things that they do not supply.
BT do have a paid support service if you did want to use it but for things like email setup it should not be needed.
You also say that you have your own domain names. These NEED to be hosted somewhere to be able to use them for email.
I don't believe that BT do hosting anymore(Could be wrong). So you would need to get in touch with a hosting company, someone like Nethosting, 1&1, GoDaddy etc to set up an email hosting account and then set up your email client to your hosting companies email servers.
