Truly Terrible Customer Service- Problems With Lenovo U410

Hello everyone,
I would like to share my Lenovo Customer Service experience. 
While on holidays in Poland last August, I decided to buy a new laptop in one of the big electronic stores. The laptop, however, developed a fault on the second day. I thought it was a case of bad drivers causing the problem. After I returned from my holidays, the fault was still there.
I contacted the Lenovo Customer Service who requested a proof of purchase. I explained that the laptop was bought in Poland on holidays and sent them on the receipt. A day later, I got an email saying:
"Your machine has been booked in for a full repair at our service centre. Thank you for your proof of purchase. 
In 2-3 working days you will receive a letter containing instructions regarding the booking of your collection. The letter will also contain very important terms and conditions in particular with regards to data loss. 
Please follow the instructions and your machine will be repaired under warranty."
A few days later the machine was taken off me by a DPD courier for almost 2 weeks. In the meantime I had no other option but to use my father's laptop to do my final year college project. 
I was delighted when I got the email:
"We have completed the servicing of your item.
Your item is now being packed and prepared for dispatch. You can track your package online..."
However, 30 mins after using the "newly repaired" laptop, the stripy screen came back! Needless to say, I wasn't happy. I contacted Lenovo again, their customer service agent apologised for the bad experience and said that the laptop will need to be sent back again. For me that meant another 2 weeks without the laptop!
This Tuesday, I finally  received the laptop back. After using the laptop for an hour or so, the horrible stripy screen appeared in front of my eyes! This time I was absolutely infuriated!! The laptop was sent back twice and the same problem persisted. I got my phone and rang the Customer Service to ask what the hell is happening?! 
The answer I got this time was that the laptop was purchased in Poland and therefore it is not covered by the International warranty!! A few months of dealing with the company, a couple of phone calls and sending the laptop off for a repair twice to be told that they didn't fix it because the machine is not covered by the International Warranty?! 
This is my short story of my terrible customer experience! I am not satisfied with the way this company operates, takes my laptop off me, sends the laptop off to their repair centre in Germany to then say that they cannot fix it?! Could anyone who works for Lenovo please explain to me where is the logic in that?

I find it absolutely deplorable of Lenovo that there has been no posted response to this customer service issue. I have been trying to decide for a while now if it was worth purchasing a Yoga 2 Pro as it looked to have all the specs of a PC Hybrid I was hoping for. Well....how wrong could I have been...I had no idea how appalling the customer service is from this company!
Firstly, in the UK...there have been some nightmare stories of faulty items and ridiculous product shipping delays that just seem to keep changing without any thought for the consumer in explaining what the hold up is. If you want to see a fantastic daily updated example of this alone just have a look at the Lenovo UK Facebook product page. Just reading it for ten minutes is tragic. There are so many upset customers in there that it almost seems comical. 
The shipping delays are pathetic, they will glady take people's money (including warranties on items that arent there!) and hold it in the Lenovo bank accounts but the slow service and response to those with faults displays a complete disregard for the consumer. I can understand a company being unable to keep up with high demand of a product if it is very good and in demand but this needs to be addressed with admission in communication. Simply advertising a product that people cannot access and dealing with the irate customer-in-waiting afterwards is not acceptable.
Let it be known that Lenovo through their own incompetence have lost a customer before he even purchased anything today. I can only hope that others considering making a purchase will see further posts like this and feel deterred in the same way. That way, Lenovo may finally see that they really need to up their game in terms of service and quality control. To the person that made this post, I can only feel sympathy for the problems you had with them and can only say that you are certainly not alone! Check out their UK Facebook page to see just how terrible the service is (including choosing to ignore the more upset customers while blowing the trumpet whenever someone's problem is "sorted"!).

  • Bad customer service- problems with apple purchasing - 2 apple IDs as living in 2 countries

    I purchased iphoto. I have 2 accounts (apple IDs) as I have been living in 2 countries over past 5 years, I mistakenly reloaded the iPhoto with the wrong account. It is not always clear what account the app has been purchased on. Apple was not helpful to reimburse this purchase despite I have leagally purchased this before. This is not good customer service! In addition, this limits use of apple for global people.
    Very disappointing! I guess since Steve Job's died, not only product quality went down but also the customer service.

    Well, clearly you are very unhappy and as I'm sure you realise, I am just another user like yourself.   But I would still encourage you to try to reach an agreement.
    I am sure Apple do not want a disgruntled customer spreading bad vibes and while they won't settle for the sake of it, write to the address below and set out your grievance.   But first review your apps.
    Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
    I see you admit to mistakenly downloading iPhoto via the wrong account so they aren't entirely to blame.   And if this is something relating to an original purchase of 5 years ago, if I recall correctly, iPhoto08 was the version then.   Now we are on iPhoto 11 and having passed via iPhoto09.  These upgrades were not free, and your records should show which version you have now and which past versions you have had.    Armed with this you will be better able to approach Apple.
    Just a suggestion, you understand, I'm not out to defend anyone.

  • Fed up with the terrible customer service.

    I'm so fed up with Verizon's terrible customer service. My DVR started going out last week. I figured that now would be a good time to get the new 500gb DVR that all of the new customers get to have. After several long calls with "customer service" they said that I could pick one up from the local store (which is a 30 minute drive). So after calling in the morning to make sure that the boxes were in stock, I went down there. They refused to give me the newer 500gb DVR, instead giving me a 120gb DVR.
    When I got home, I called customer service again three more times. The third time, the customer service agent put in an order for a new DVR, promising me that  I would receive the 500gb box. Guess which DVR they sent me? The 120gb DVR!
    Again, I called customer service, got hung up on, called back again and was unable to speak to a supervisor. They also claim that they have no control over which DVR they can send. That's so ridiculous.  
    I've had it. I pay waaaaaay to much and have been a loyal customer for over 4 years. I don't even get the 25/25 internet speed that I'm paying for. As soon as my contract is up I'm switching to Time Warner or AT&T. I know their customer service is much better, and at least I'll be able to use a faster wireless router.  
    Good Bye Verizon. You're way too expensive for how you treat your customers.
    Solved!

    October 2011
    Wanted to add another set top box for a 3rd TV.  So I called customer service and had them send me one instead of going to the FiOS store which in my area, which uses 2 gallons of gas round trip.  I asked for the newer black colored box which is lighter and uses less energy.  2 days later, the package shows up at my door and low and behold, they sent the old large box instead. Surprised?  So I called the local FiOS store in Spring Valley, NY since I couldn't get through to customer service on the phone that morning (perhaps because it was the day before hurricane Irene struck the NY area) and was told to just bring it up there. I wound up spending FOUR HOURS in the store as I was told they couldn't switch it out because it wasn't plugged in and activated!  They made calls to different departments in an effort to straighten this out, but to no avail.  I wanted to take the box and smash it on the floor in front of them!  Unless I miss my guest, ALL cable boxes are tracked by their serial #, so why was there a problem? Because of a colossal design FLAW in the Verizon FiOS computer system that requires you to plug in & activate a box BEFORE you exchange or return it.  Have you ever heard of anything so stupid in your life?  So I took the old box home, took apart that part of the wall unit, replaced the existing HD setop box with the wrong one they sent, activated it, put the wall unit back together, took the box I've had for 4 years back, got the new design one, bought it home, installed it, and low and behold, THERE'S NO CLOCK DISPLAY!  The excuse customer service is giving out for this one is that alleviation of the clock display makes the box use less energy.  Just who does this company think they're BSing?   I was in the digital clock biz back when digital displays first came out in the 1970's.  These vacuum florescent types use barely any power at all to speak of compared to what the box consumes overall.  They know the average consumer doesn't have the technical background I have to know better.  Just another excuse so Verizon could save a buck or 2 on each box they buy from Motorola, As Porky Pig would say, "BADEE BADA BEDED THAT'S ALL FOLKS!"

  • Contract mis-sold. Terrible customer service from a supervisor-no clear way to make a complaint

    After being a good customer for a year and a Verizon Wireless customer for 5 years, numerous issues with Verizon Fios have surfaced.
    1) Representative totally mis-informed about the contract
    When I took out a contract with Verizon FIos a year ago, I had not wanted to have a contract because they only option available was for 2 years and I knew that the lease for my apartment was only for 1 year and in all likliehood I would be moving. I was told by the representative that there would be no problem if I took out a 2 year contract because I could simply transfer the existing contract to wherever I moved with no issue.
    Fastforward a year and I'm moving, call Verizon to make the transfer and i"m told, that actually i'm effectively cancelling my existing contract and re-starting as a new customer. This means that my bundle has gone up $10 a month and I would have to start another 2 year contract.This completely contradicts what I was told a year ago. I would never have taken out the 2 year contract if I had known this.
    2) Terrible customer service from someone who is a supervisor
    This morning I spoke to a representative and after she said she couldnt address my concerns about being mis-sold the contract, I asked to speak with a supervisor. How he handled the call was incredibly unhelpful and rude - I dont understand how someone at a supervisor level can have that kind of attitude. First he tried to indicate that it was my fault for not being clear with the representative last year (before he knew the full facts), he did not take show any recognition that being mis-informed about a contract is a significant issue. When I asked him how to make a complaint he told me to go to verizon.com/contact. I did this while I was on the phone with him and told him that there was no clear way to make a complaint, I was told "I am a supervisor, I cant sit here on the phone with you and take you through it step by step" - I was not asking for step by step help, I assumed that as a supervisor he would know which wa the right section to click on. He then basically made it sound like I was an idiot and I was told that every other customer seems to find it intuitive (which judging by other comments on this forum about the contact piece of the site is not actually true).
    3) Impossible to file an official complaint through normal channels 
    There is no email address to which you can send a complaint (according to the team on the phone). On the verizon.com/contact page, there is no option for making a complaint. When you type in a question about making a complaint nothing comes up. This seems ridiculous and makes it seem like Verizon is not interested in hearing customers feedback.

  • Terrible customer service from Brendan at Telstra Bourke St Melbourne

    Hi All,
    Just thought I would ask your advice concerning repairs to my Iphone I requested from Telstra.
    The phone is great and I love it, my only problem is that it no longer turns on anymore.
    I took it to the shop where I bought it on (yep I lined up to buy it the day they were released ), the really flashy Telstra shop in the Bourke Street Mall. I got one of the techs on the front desk to look at it. He then took it to the head tech guy and he came back and said they would not repair or replace the phone under warranty. He said that it had a 'disturbed liquid submersion indicator at the bottom'.
    I have never droped it into water the whole time I have owned it, but I do travel overseas to humid areas so that may have set off the 'submersion indicator' to make the techs think that I dropped it into a puddle when I have never done that.
    Obviously, its a real pain, not having a phone for even a day, so I asked what my options were. I was told that the 'apple warranty is void and repair/exchange can not be carried out and the replacement cost for an 8gb for $670'.
    The quotes above are from what is typed on my Service Repair Order.
    I asked was it possible to send the phone to Apple to be inspected, and they advised that it was not, and that my only option was to purchase a new phone, and that I had two options. Firstly, if I surrendered my old phone, a replacement would be issued for $670. Secondly, I could simply purchase another iphone 'outright' for a cost of $726.
    I tool the second option, and have a brand new phone, although I am disapointed that I now have an almost new phone that simply stopped working that is now used as a paperweight.
    I tried everything to minimise the cost of getting a working iphone, and after talking to the lead tech, he then got the store manager to discuss my options.
    Brendan said he was the store manager, and eventually let me know his name after first stating 'I dont have to give you my name' and eventually told me his employee number was 0238895.
    He spent over an hour checking the situation while I waited, but would not put anything in writing except some notes in the section related to the 'reported problem' on the Service Repair Order.
    Is the advice that Brendan from Telstra gave me correct, and was it necessary for me to purchase another brand new handset for $726?
    If anyone has any questions I can be contacted on <Edited by: Host>
    Kind regards
    Wayne B

    See the response that I provided to Tamara regarding the recent change to the policy.
    You might want to print the new version of the policy and bring your receipt and go back to Telstra and see if they will consider an adjustment, i.e. you return your brand new iPhone, they swap it for a refurbished iPhone and credit you with the difference in price.
    I actually fail to see where you received "Terrible customer service from Brendan" as stated in your title.

  • Customer Service Problems

    After fighting with Verizon customer service over two service issues without any possibility of resolution I am canceling my account. 
    I’m doing this reluctantly because as a long-term shareholder of Verizon I would like to see the company succeed and keep profitable.  Yet I am appalled by the cavalier, disrespectful, obstructionist treatment from your staff in dealing with customer service problems.  When you were just the telephone company and operated as a monopoly in a regulated industry, you had to take customer issues seriously.   Now that you are an unregulated telecommunications giant it seems that you don’t feel the need to respond to your customers.  Someone in your company needs to hear this and put a stop to these destructive business practices. 
    In brief, the first issue involved arranging a service call for interruption of internet service.  The entire process kept me on the phone for a total of 3 hours over several days.  I have given up my land line and use a cell phone exclusively.  Verizon’s communication systems and staffing levels caused me to wait on hold for 10-15 for each person that I spoke to. Then each conversation averaged 10 minutes.   In addition, I was transferred to different departments but  I did not understand the reason for the transfers.  Then the pattern of hold-talk-transfer began again.  Several times my calls were dropped necessitating more repeats of the hold-talk-transfer pattern.  Some of your staff were South Asian and they either garbled or misunderstood English, thus prolonging the conversation beyond the average of 10 minutes.    During that time I incurred cell phone charges of $.45/ minute.   
    After the service was restored I called Verizon customer service and asked for a service credit to compensate me for those out-of-pocket expenses over and above 30 minutes which I consider to be a reasonable amount of time to arrange a service call.  They denied any responsibility for the amount of time it took to arrange the service call or the amount of time to complain about their service.  I was not happy with the outcome so I requested to speak with someone who was a decision maker and had authority to negotiate a settlement.  I also asked to have them communicate with me through email.  I was told that communicating through email was not possible.  These calls followed the same pattern of hold-talk-transfer averaging 30 minutes each.  I repeated myself to 3 or 4 people who wrote down my complaint before I got to a manager who had decision making authority.  The manager denied any responsibility for the amount of time it took to arrange the service call and would not authorize a service credit.  
    The second issue involved billing.  I signed up for auto-pay to have my monthly bill deducted directly from my bank account.  Verizon’s computer system deducted the bill twice, overdrawing my account.  I incurred a bank overcharge fee.   The same pattern of hold-talk-transfer began for this complaint as well.  The customer service staff refused to take responsibility for this error as well.  Their solution required me to spend more time and incur extra expenses.  I had to repeat myself to 3 or 4 complaint takers before I reached the same manager who denied my first request.  He denied any responsibility for this billing problem too.    I had to have my bank retrieve the money under a fraud compliant.
    Verizon is one of the largest *communications* corporations in the world.  If your internal systems can't handle customer service calls in a reasonable amount of time, then there is a problem.  If your customer service staff is unwilling to take responsibility for such inadequacies and solve the issues that emerge from them, then there is a problem.  If a customer has to contact the CEO of the company to try to resolve two service related issues, then there is a problem.  When all of those actions prove inadequate, then there is a *communications* problem.
    Customer service has flagged my account and put me down as a “problem” customer.  Instead of offering even a token settlement, they are prepared to stonewall me by maintaining that the company is just not at fault and that they tried to solve the problems but I wouldn’t cooperate or accept their solutions.   Early on in the process, if someone told me that Verizon messed up just a little, but still couldn’t compensate me, I would have accepted that, albeit reluctantly, and dropped the matter.
    This is not the way I do business and I resent it when others don’t feel the need to honor any kind of code.  I grew up working in my family’s retail liquor store.  From the time I was a kid I learned four customer service lessons that I’ve carried over into my adult life:
    Admit when you are wrong and try to make up for the mistake.
    Never argue with a customer over small things.
    Listen to the compliant and don’t just dismiss it out-of-hand
    Try to make things right even though you may not be directly responsible for problem.
    For my two problems, Verizon customer service staff didn’t even come close to following these common sense rules.   I’ve learned that if you ask their customer service people they will repeat back to you some type of business code that they say they operate under.  But their behavior tells a different story.
    Unfortunately when I spoke with {edited for privacy} of the Executive Presidential Appeals office, I was taken somewhat aback by his manner and demeanor, which was coarse and inappropriate for a customer service discussion, and which I found personally offensive.  He and members of his staff agreed to send me emails specifying which part of the Terms of Service they based their decisions on.  To date I have not received the communications they promised.
    Is this the image of your company that you want the public to see? Are you willing to just shrug off these complaints as an isolated case that is too small to concern yourself about?  I’m afraid the answer will be yes.  Not only do you feel that you are too big to fail, but you are too big to care.   Customer service means solving problems not manufacturing bad will and resentment.  
    My purpose in writing this note has been twofold: to make one last effort to solve my problem and to hope that someone will take note about the issues about customer service practices that are harmful to the company. I'd be happy to speak with someone with real authority to deal
    with my issues but have no interest in repeating my past experiences.
    It's too bad that this had to happen since the solution could have been so easy and simple.
    I plan to publish some form of this letter and distribute it to the public. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Therefore, I request to please clear this unacceptable due balance, and contact Experian to removed and clarified the mistake in my credit report. 
    RE:  Cancellation fee charged on internet DSL service charged by mistake. {edited for privacy}
    A $65 balance remain for a cancellation fee on internet DSL service, by Verizon New York mistake.
    In February of 2010, I set up my phone and TV in a vacation plan but keep my internet service active. After a month I had a vacation plan, suddenly without notification, my internet service was suspended and a cancellation fee was issued.
    My final statement was $ 24.47. I cleared a check from Verizon.
    I contacted Verizon online to request connect my internet service and discuss the issue on the cancellation fee. The response was that I should pay the internet cancellation fee, and paid a new activation.
    After fighting with Verizon customer service over the unacceptable fee charge service issue without any possibility of resolution I cancel my home phone which was in a vacation plan. 
     Later I kept receiving the statement with this cancellation fee every month. I called and discussed the issue more than 6 times during the next 6 months, The entire process kept me on the phone for a total of 2 hours over several months. The costumer representatives responded that the issue was in an investigation.
    Later,  a Collector company start chasing me to get the $65 paid. Phone number: {edited for privacy}, Inclusive, they made an offer to reduce the amount if I accept to pay or contact Verizon to request a clarification.
    By the end of the year, I contacted Verizon costumer services one more time but the representative stated that the account is not visible anymore.
    Convinced that the problem on this account was resolved, the second week of November, I called Verizon to reestablish my account with a new home phone number and Internet DSL connection.
    The answer was that  following Verizon policy I was unable to get a new account if a balance remain.
    After I explained the events, a manager (non-identified) who spoke to me by phone told me that Verizon will investigate the issue and I should wait for approval.
    On November 16, my account was confirmed approved and clear of debt, therefore, Verizon welcome me back with Home phone and internet DSL Service and confirmation on my online registration.
    New number:{edited for privacy} ; Email:{edited for privacy}
    Also, during the months of January and February 2010, Verizon New York, made other charges mistakes in my account (See details below) that have been resolved with an apologize and a refund.

  • Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone through Verizon?

    Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone under their warranty plan?  How did you get a resolution or replacement phone?

    Hello dpetrie,
    A lost or stolen phone is definitely not fun! If this is the case then I'm sure that we have an option available for you. May I ask what model device did you lose? As tikibar1 mentioned, do you have insurance on the device? If so then please advise so we can share options with you.
    Thank you...

  • ChatandVision – terrible customer service, PLEASE ...

    ChatandVision – terrible customer service, PLEASE READ
    I would like to share with community and SKYPE my not so recent chatandvision experience.
    I have purchased Skype phone from chatandvision, which is basically link from skype shop but transaction handled by chatandvision and not Skype.
    Purchase was done on 31st of January. On 18th of February I contacted chatandvision for tracking number as order did not arrive.
    Despite clear writing on chatandvision site that orders shipped via trackable service this is reply I got:
    Dear Alex,
    Sorry to hear you have not received your package.
    We can confirm that the order has been sent via Airmail Postage from Hong Kong on the 4 February so you should receive it soon. Airmail service distribution is similar to that of HK Post. This type of delivery service has no tracking number yet hope that any delay is minimal.
    Normally, orders leaving Hong Kong, deliveries via Airmail Postage mail are generally 7 to 10 business days.
    But please note that the delivery time may vary and can take a little longer subject to local customs. Sometimes it can take up to 14-21 working days for your package to reach your destination. 
    We thank you for your patience with this issue.
    Sincerely,
    Marcela
    Customer Care Officer
    After 2 more weeks and still no goods I contacted chatand vision again asking for refund, here is reply:
    Dear Alex, 
    Thank you for your e-mail.
    Regarding your concern, I’m afraid that it’s not possible to process a cancellation or refund at this stage, as your goods are now out of our hands. This matter has been escalated to our management and you will be updated via email regarding the situation.
    If you still wish to cancel your order, please reject the item should delivery be attempted by our courier. Should you be unable to reject the item, please contact us again for further instructions on our RMA process.

    March 18, Two more weeks another email to chat and vision, here is reply:
    Dear Alex ,
    We apologize that the item has not reached you as of now.
    May I ask if you have checked with your neighbors or workmates? It may be that the item was accepted on your behalf. If not, do kindly allow a few days for the item to arrive. Delays are common usually caused by local customs and postal services of the receivers' country.
    In any case, please do feedback and reply me anytime and thank you for your patience throughout.
    Sincerely,
    Debbie
    Customer Care Officer
    March 28th, after several emails to chat and vision here is reply:
    Dear Alex,
    We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused on your end. I'd like to confirm though that we have now processed your refund. 
    Refunds typically take 2-5 business days to process from our end, depending on how you paid for your original order (we always credit back to the same credit card that you used for payment). Unfortunately it can sometimes take another 2-3 days for your bank to process the refund, so we advise that you allow 7 days for the funds to be seen in your account.
    The good news though is that we’ll send you an email to confirm when the refund has been completed.
    Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help, and I hope that you will shop with us again in the future.
    Sincerely,
    Debbie
    Customer Care Officer
    April 4th(this is 2 month after purchase) here is email reply from chatandvision:
    Dear Alex,

    Its 9th of May, probably 15 emails to ChatandVision, tons of wasted time and about 100 euro, by now I have only one question how company like this can be a SKYPE  preferred supplier?
    With this service and attitude it’s surprising they are still in business, or perhaps they are in business because they just take your money and do not care afterwards.
    Please BE AWARE when purchase from them

    the webpage should be closed from google and microsoft.If skype is using that (offensive text removed) and not listening customers.....(offensive text removed)
    Exactly the same situation with me......I  "bought" the skype phone over the skype webpage....
    Skype should be responsible also for partners..........

    I would like to share with community and SKYPE my not so recent chatandvision experience.
    I have purchased Skype phone from chatandvision, which is basically link from skype shop but transaction handled by chatandvision and not Skype.
    Purchase was done on 31st of January. On 18th of February I contacted chatandvision for tracking number as order did not arrive.
    Despite clear writing on chatandvision site that orders shipped via trackable service this is reply I got:
    Dear Alex,
    Sorry to hear you have not received your package.
    We can confirm that the order has been sent via Airmail Postage from Hong Kong on the 4 February so you should receive it soon. Airmail service distribution is similar to that of HK Post. This type of delivery service has no tracking number yet hope that any delay is minimal.
    Normally, orders leaving Hong Kong, deliveries via Airmail Postage mail are generally 7 to 10 business days.
    But please note that the delivery time may vary and can take a little longer subject to local customs. Sometimes it can take up to 14-21 working days for your package to reach your destination. 
    We thank you for your patience with this issue.

    March 28th, after several emails to chat and vision here is reply:
    Dear Alex,
    We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused on your end. I'd like to confirm though that we have now processed your refund. 
    Refunds typically take 2-5 business days to process from our end, depending on how you paid for your original order (we always credit back to the same credit card that you used for payment). Unfortunately it can sometimes take another 2-3 days for your bank to process the refund, so we advise that you allow 7 days for the funds to be seen in your account.
    The good news though is that we’ll send you an email to confirm when the refund has been completed.

  • Customer service problems. Anyone at HP I can talk to?

    I'm having a horrible customer service experience with HP with regards to a repair to my brand-new Pavillion PC. The problem has been ongoing for a month, and I'm never able to get a straight answer our of the customer support reps as to when the unit will be shipped back to me.
    Is there anyone at HP I can talk to outside of the front-line customer service center to try and resolve this? 

    Tech_Rain - thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, I'm sure the hell I've been through with HP is hardly your fault, but frankly, your reply is indicative of the appalling customer service I've encountered with HP. Your post is hardly timely (over a month since I made my post), nor at all helpful.
    I ended up calling tech support on a daily basis in order to try and expedite the process, and was given conflicting, incorrect information, and straight out lied to. Nobody seemed to have any clue as to when I could expect my computer to be fixed - a brand new computer which HP had delivered to me in a defective condition. After a comedy of errors involving misplaced warranty statuses, empty boxes being shipped to me, and general incompetence from tech support representatives, my case was transferred to a case manager.
    This failed to improve matters. After the new expedited date for my repair came and went without the repair center ever updating my ticket, I was offered a replacement PC. The date when my PC was due to ship then came and went, another call to the case manager (who had again failed to call me with an update by the promised date), and I ask for my money back. Eventually, I receive a check. 
    Numerous HP representatives promised to call me back with updates on status. Never once did that happen. HP failed to deliver a working PC, failed to log a repair ticket until I called back a second time, failed to deliver a return box until I called back, failed to provide me with promised status updates, failed to expedite the repair as promised, failed to deliver on promised repair dates, and failed to ship a replacement computer by the promised date. 
    I took my check, spent it on components at newegg.com, and built my new computer myself - a process that took less time than it took HP to ship me my original defective computer.
    All in all, a total failure on the part of HP to serve their customer. I will never buy another product from HP again.

  • Strange problem with Lenovo S650

    I have an interesting problem with Lenovo S650.
    If it stay in 2G/3G mode - it connect and work in 3G network well. But if I put "only 3G" mode, it don't connect to the 3G network.
    I changed SIM-cards, modems, firmware, mobile operators -  Nothing change.
    What is the problem? Thank you.

    Because your network needs both 2G and 3G to establish an internet connection. When the signal is low ,3G is favored/preferred (WCDMA Preferred or Auto )...but that uses more power. Don't actually need 3G all the time.
    This isn't the root of your problem ...Actually isn't a problem at all .
    Now can you tell me your firmware build number(Settings>About phone.. ) ?
    Did you had this problem from day 1?
    Did you get the phone from China and flashed the ROW firmware yourself? Got the firmware from some Russian forum and changed some regional code at the first boot...by any chance?
    Beside flashing different baseband modems, have made other alterations (Like changing engineering mode settings... )

  • ANOTHER Lenovo Y50 case defect issue and terrible customer service

    I don't normally do forums but have been so infuriated by Lenovo customer service I felt obliged to sign up and share my experience.
    I bought a Lenovo Y50-70 in November 2014. Within one month I noticed a small plastic part near the hinge was missing (i.e. I noticed the other side was intact and how it should look). I sent this to Lenovo for repair and received a call 5 mins ago to say this won't be repaired under warranty and that I will have to pay for it. This is absolutely outrageous and from the number of posts on this very forum it appears this is a common defect with this particular case. I asked the customer service rep if there was anything he could do and all i received was a very short blunt manuscript response, exhibiting no intention to help. I am not prepared to pay for shoddy design/workmanship and so my only option offered was to receive the laptop back unrepaired. 
    This is absolutely incredible that a company as big as Lenovo can treat their customers in such a fashion. Unless an administrator on this forum wishes to investigate this matter (as it's currently still with Lenovo repair centre) I certainly won't make the mistake of buying or recommending a Lenovo again.

    So Lenovo/Medio have had my laptop for 20 days now. 2 weeks ago I was told they wouldn't repair it under warranty and would return it unrepaired. Still nothing. I called customer service yday who promised to investigate and get in touch. Nothing. I called again today, same response i.e. would investigate. It seems there is a huge communication problem between Lenovo and their Medion repair centre. 
    I am now looking into a legal resolution as surely under the sale of goods act it is illegal to retain an item for so long despite no repair actually taking place. You would also think Lenovo would have the decency to offer to repair the small damage (which I was quoted £80 for) as compensation for delay. But alas no, what Lenovo know about customer service is less than 0. 
    The fact a representative hasn't even bothered to respond on here is testimony to their lack of care and respect for customers. 
    Yours truly
    Another Totally Annoyed Frustrated Lenovo Customer

  • T400 or not T400 or terrible customer service from Lenovo

    Why doesn't lenovo ever think about consumer?
    Why do I have to select E6400 instead of T400 when I really want T400?
    Why Lenovo Customer service does not care about customers...
    Please read my case on:

    I plan to publish this on PissedConsumer and in 1 week on RipOffReport, ComplaintsBoard and My3Cents.

    Asyrov, welcome to the forum,
    it is clear that you seem to be unhappy about something regarding an order you placed, what is not clear is what you are unhappy about. You do not state what exactly had changed in the configuration to make you so unhappy, just that you are unhappy about something.
    It would be helpfull if you could maybe provide a little more detail and then members will be able to offer advice according to their experiences.
    If I understand it all correctly, you ordered a system with shared graphic but have now realised you require discrete graphic?
    Thanks in advance

  • Terrible customer service, and no help with defective camera

    Madams and Sirs,
    This camera (see below) was a Christmas present, and we discovered first last week that it had a manufacturing defect. (one of the small tabs holding the case half together got installed in a pinched way.)
    Best Buy has always had fantastic customer service, and we have been very happy. We have spend many thousand dollars in your store every year. So we were sure the store would have a solution.
    We took it in to your store #1423 on Curtner in San Jose to try to exchange or replace under warranty.
    I understand you sometimes you are not able to help a customer, but this email is first about the shock I got when I spoke with Megan in customer service.
    As many customers in Silicon Valley, I am an engineering manager, and we have performed destructive testing on many of our own products. The defect on this camera is obviously a manufacturing defect, and not possible to be caused by poor handling. This is very obvious.
    Megan told me with other employees as well as my son listening next to me that I was a liar, and that the damage was caused by abuse, and not a defect. I tried to explain that was not possible, and she interrupted me, and again said that i was not telling the truth, and that the assembly error was caused by us. 
    I then asked if it was possible to have the matter reviewed by the store manager, and she responded she was the store manager. 
    I left with the camera, and the matter unresolved, and had to explain to my son that I was not a liar, and that Megan must be wrong and "some people just have a bad day sometimes".
    I will not be spoken to with insults like that, and I can no longer go to your store with my kids, and if my employees treated any customer the way Megan did, I would make sure she received training to correct this. If the store manager have this attitude to customers, the entire organisation usually follows, and I will not be a customer in a store like that.
    1. Please help resolve this issue.Order number: {removed per forum guidelines}

    Hello erikev,
    Cameras are nice to have, especially with young children, so I can imagine how frustrating it can be to find yourself with a pinched casing. When something goes wrong, it’s never a fun situation, and while it may not be something we can necessarily help with, great customer service should still be provided. It sounds like this didn’t happen the way we hoped, and I’m sorry this was at your expense.
    As this situation is definitely concerning, I looked into your account to see how I might be able to assist. However, I have found your concerns have reached Terrance with our executive support team. He is currently looking into your situation and should contact you once more information is available. From here, Terrance will be your first point of contact.
    Hopefully he can find a good resolution for you,

  • Terrible customer service after systemboard on T400 died for no apparent reason.

    So I hate for my first post to be a negative one, but here goes.
    I'm sorry if my actions sound rude or impatient, but I'm sure some of you understand the aggravation and worry that accompanies a computer that suddenly stops working when it is needed.
    Warning... here's the abridged version, it will still be long. I have also attached a email I sent to Lenovo websales... it has not gotten a response. So far I have not received parts that were supposed to be shipped. I have been hung up on. I have been interrupted. I have been ignored. I have been told that if I want my product fixed I should upgrade my current existing warranty to an on-site service.
    I bought a T400 roughly six months ago. I had minor issues with the sound cutting in and out after waking up from sleep since new. I figured it was probably a driver issue. Never bothered to try and fix it, it wasn't a big deal. Other than that, I loved my T400 and recommended that everybody check out Lenovo if they're in the market for a new laptop. Well... no more. I recently put my T400 to sleep. Left it on my desk and walked away. I came back about 20 minutes later, noticed that all the indicator lights were not lit. Strange... okay. I tried to start it. Nothing. I did a search on google, came up with the procedure to press the buttons to drain the system board. Nothing. Oh no. I immediately call Lenovo since I was going to be returning to classes soon. The phone conversations I had with Lenovo techs were less than stellar. One tech told me he could not ship out the box since the system was down... but he somehow managed to look up my serial number, input my information, and issue a case number. Well... turns out he also closed that case. Since he couldn't ship out a box, I brought it to a local authorized warranty service center.  They told me it would be no problem. I dropped it off first thing in the morning, several hours later, a tech had called to tell me that the systemboard was dead (what I thought) and that he had already placed the order with Lenovo and that the part was in stock and should be in the next day. I wait two days and did not hear anything. I call the shop. They call Lenovo. Apparently the part is now backordered and there is no ETA on when it may be back in stock. They said I should pick up my laptop and send it in. So I pick up my laptop and call Lenovo to try and obtain a box. I spoke to one gentlman who seems to empathize with me. He wanted to speak to a supervisor to see if he could have the case elevated. I was put on hold... several minutes later, I was somehow transferred to another tech. This guy had no idea what was going on, he was less than helpful, and he did not seem to be interested in helping me at all. I finally convinced him to ship me a box. When I got off the phone, I realized I should try and obtain some sort of time frame. I called back. Some women picked up. I explained my situation once again. She told me the part was in stock (not what the store and 2 techs had just told me). So I asked if it could be shipped to the store? "Uh... Well..." *Click* She either hung up or we got disconnected. I waited several minutes for a call back. There was none. So I called again... This employee told me that the part does not have an ETA and he has no idea when it might be back in stock. This gentleman is a little pushy and interupts me a few times, but for the most part seems to want to try and help. I was told that Lenovo would keep my laptop for an indefinite period of time until the part is no longer backordered. That's not what I want to hear. I need my laptop for school and research projects. He tells me that if I want to get my laptop fixed in a timely manner, I should upgrade my warranty service to a better one. This raises flags. Is Lenovo just trying to pocket more of my money? Shouldn't the standard warranty cover this? So I decide to email Lenovo and see if they can shed any light on the situation and offer any alternatives. I have tried twice since last week and gotten no response.
    Here's the email I sent.
    To whom it may concern:
    My name is William Xiao. I purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad t400 roughly 6 months ago. The deciding factors in this purchase were all the things I had heard about Thinkpad's excellent reliability, durability, and the outstanding customer service. Unfortunately, none of these have been true in my experience thus far. I had recently put the laptop to sleep. When I came back twenty minutes later, none of the indicator lights were illuminated. The system would not power up. I performed all of the procedures offered by the technical support to completely drain/power down the system board. This did not rectify the situation. When I did call technical support, I do not feel that I was treated with respect. One time I called, the employee was very unenthusiastic to help. The technician was very rude. He frequently interrupted me and did not listen to what I had to say. I asked him to ship a box out. He told me he could not (or would not) do that. He told me to call back the next day with the case number to get somebody else to ship out a box. Or to take it to a repair center. I decided to take it to a local repair center first thing the next morning (Jan 5, 2010). The center assured me that the repair would take no longer than 3 or 4 days. Several days later (Jan 7, 2010), I called to check on the status of the repair. Apparently the system board that was needed was in stock when they ordered it, but became backordered with no ETA on when it might become available again. Unfortunately, I am leaving town to return to college on January 11. The shop suggested that I pick up my laptop and have it shipped to Lenovo. I called Lenovo the evening of January 7th. The first person I spoke to seemed knowledgeable and empathetic to my situation. He looked up the part and said it was out of stock at their depot. I explained to him that I would be returning to school soon and needed my laptop for classes and my research projects. He put me on hold while he went and spoke to a supervisor about escalating the case. For one reason or another, I was transferred to another employee who was not a supervisor. This employee was absolutely clueless about what was going on. His attitude was very poor. He told me that the original case that was opened had been closed on Jan 4 or 5. I had not asked for this case to be closed. When I asked him to to ship a box, he seemed somewhat reluctant to do so. He seemed frustrated when I asked him to have it shipped to a different address. As I said, I would be returning to my school over 200 miles away. I would no longer be able to have the box shipped to my home where I was over winter break. For whatever reason, this employee just did not seem to understand that. I asked if the parts were not in stock, how long would it take to get them in stock and get my laptop repaired. He could offer no answer. I asked him if there was any way this case could be escalated since I cannot be without a computer at school. He told me no. I do not feel that I was treated very respectfully. He told me to call some other department. I asked if I could be transferred. He very reluctantly did so. The other department was closed for the night. I called back to the technical service center in Atlanta, Georgia. This time I spoke to a woman. She told me the parts ARE in stock. I asked if they are in stock, can they be shipped to the store where I was having my computer repaired at. She said "Uh... Well..." and then she either hung up on me or I was disconnected. I waited several minutes for a call back. None was ever received. Thus far, I have been extremely unsatisfied with the customer service that has been offered. I asked if there was any way that a temporary unit could be offered while mine was being repaired since I was told that my laptop would be kept for an indefinite period of time while waiting for the part become available again. Or I asked if they could pull a T400 from the shelves, take the system board out, and use that system board to repair mine. I was interrupted and told no. This seemed to be a common theme: interrupt the customer, do not know what is going on, tell them no to any sort of request. It is interesting that the recording on the telephone says how much Lenovo values customer satisfaction. Well, I am not satisfied at all. This computer is still under warranty. It should not be my responsibility to drive to and from service centers to try and obtain repair. It should not be my responsibility to have to call back whenever somebody decides they do not want to perform a task at that time. Lenovo should be repairing my computer in a timely manner. I was told that if I wanted my computer repaired in a timely manner, I should upgrade my current warranty to a on-site service. I feel that they should be doing whatever is possible in order to best serve the customer. It looks like Lenovo is more concerned with making a fast buck. A computer is very important to my education, as I said, I need it for both classes and research projects. Based on the quality of the product and the customer service that has been offered, I will not be buying any Lenovo product in the future. I was strongly considering purchasing a Edge for both my girlfriend and my mother. And I had previously recommended many people to buy Lenovo after I initially purchased mine. But that is no longer the case. Not only will I likely not be purchasing another Lenovo product, I will warn all of the people I know who are in the market for a new computer to look somewhere else. I really want to like and enjoy my Thinkpad, it is very unfortunate that I cannot and that Lenovo will not do what is necessary to make things right again.
    Your very unsatisfied consumer,
    William Xiao
    Any ideas? Any other email addressed I might be able to reach somebody at?
    Thanks for reading that mess. I appreciate any input that this forum may have to offer.

    As I said (in my overly long post), I had already brought it to a reputable local warranty service center (still about a half hour to forty minute drive each way) after an employee refused to ship out a box (supposedly the system was down, but he looked up my information and was able to both open and close a case without telling me that he was closing it, he told me to call back about it later) because the turnaround time SHOULD have been faster. I was quoted a 3 day turnaround time, 4 days MAX. I dropped it off first thing the morning after I spoke to somebody at Lenovo. Tech took a look at it later that day, before noon, put the order in, called me to let me know that he ordered the part and that it was in stock. He tells me that generally they receive the part the next day. I hadn't heard from the shop in 2 days. So I call. They call Lenovo, part is now on backorder. That's why they told me to ship it. Now I'm dealing with this headache.
    I should not have to spend this much time trying to obtain a warranty. The staff has been rude, unhelpful, and uninspiring.
    If something is not done to rectify this situation... at least some sort of apology or attempt to make amends, this will certainly be my last Lenovo product. I will not be purchasing a Lenovo for my girlfriend or family members. I cannot in good conscience recommend that others purchase a Lenovo. My faith in the product and in the company has been corrupted. I would hate to have the new motherboard fail unexpectedly and without reason in another 6 months (which would be just after my warranty runs out), but the service provided thus far cannot justify me spending 140 dollars on a on-site service. If things don't take a turn for the better, it would seem that the best option for me may be to sell my once loved T400 when I get it back and buy a new laptop from a company that actually stands behind their product.
    I NEED a laptop for school. The turnaround time I was quoted should have my laptop back to me right before school started again. I have been back to school for a week, and after all this time, they cannot even tell me when I might be able to have my laptop back. The staff flat out refused to offer any sort of temporary laptop for me to use while they held mine for an unknown period of time.  I have read of people being offered loaners. They also refused to pull the system board from another T400 because "it will not work." That's just incorrect.
    I want to love my Lenovo. I really do.
    Edited to add more information. I figured it was better than posting multiple times in a row and cluttering things up.

  • Terrible Customer Service / Billing Options

    I have enrolled in auto pay.  Had auto pay set up, then I got a new bank card.  After receiving the new card, I immediately updated payment info with Verizon way ahead of the next bill.  I find that the pay was not taken from my account, so the current bill is nearly $400 dollars - plus an additional $5.00 late fee.  Called customer service, and fumble through the all automated menus, only to be told that the late fee is because I did not update my card info.  She waived the late fee but could not take my payment; I would have to be transferred to the correct department.  If only that transfer had gone through, instead - the call dropped.  Upon calling customer service again, automated menus, I find out that they have my newest card on file and ask if I would like to use this card to make payment???? I wait for an operator who tells me I need to set up auto pay again! So that I can have the same mess I just dealt with when I created my new parment - I dont think so.  You are AWFUL verizon.  BEYOND TERRIBLE.  How about having a speak to a real living person option on the menu before all the other nonsense.  I will be switching back to AT&T where I never had a single problem.  I have had Verizon Wireless service since November 2014 and have had countless issues.  Not to mention, the gentlemen I spoke with said the problems I have encountered "are very common." You get enough $5.00 late fees from customers who pay on time, verizon gets a fat wallet.  Well good for you, you have terrible service and even worse customer service.  I will never speak highly of this company or cellular service. 

    Is everything set up now? Atleast they credited the account. Sometime when you make changes it takes a few billing cycle to take place (i.e. adress changes). I hope everything works out with ATT&T!
    So....I have a question: If you say: "I will be switching back to AT&T where I never had a single problem" and "Well good for you, you have terrible service and even worse customer service.  I will never speak highly of this company or cellular service." Why did you even switch to Verizon in the first place? Clearly ATT&T had an issue, becouse if nothing is ever wrong, then why would you even switch??
