Worst customer care service

i recently gave a c1 phone for service in chennai. They returned my phone saying that it could not be serviced and the phone is gone waste. Luckily i gave my phone for service to another normal service centre. They repaired the phone and it is working properly. I was astonished. Is nokia's service centre is making fool with thier customers? Will nokia take action on this issues

CRM Customer Care Service

hi experts,
Can anyone help us..... what is Customer Care Service in CRM... Where can i get the documentation....

Hi Pradipta,
Multiple commits would lead to you to trouble.
What you could do is that, you some global data to pass the ibase information for further use in side same function modules and have only one commit i.e the one called by the one order frame work.
One general way of passing data is thru the put and get fm's written in the same function groups. When you are creating the Ibase you can use the put fm to put all the data to some global variables and again when you want to read this data you can call the get fm which read the gobal variables and return the details.

Xperia z1: a BAD BAD experience regarding customer care, service center and sony india.

I have bought a xperia Z1 at 29th march 2014. I was very happy after buying it but after 2 months it becomes a trouble for me. after 2 months of purchasing i found a sensor problem occured in the phone, due to which auto rotate function was not responding. i submitted my mobile and after 7 days i got a new one. but unfortunately my mobile slipped from my pocket and fell down on floor, because of that my mobile phone screen gor a crack. since it was under accidental warranty i submitted my mobile phone to the service centre and they told me that they have sent the application for approval at 21st july. later on 23rd morning i got information from customer care, that my application has ben rejected. again at 23rd july they told me that they have again submitted the application an will revert in 2 days.
after 2 days i.e. at 25th they told me that there is no answer from sony india head office due to which they are unable to provide me standby. after a long argument with service head at customer care, service centre provided me a stand by, till i was using nokia 1100 . the biggest problem arised yesterday i.e 4th aug, when i called at service centre they told me that there is no approval and same word was on behalf of service center.
its been more than 15 days and the service center told me that i'll have my mobile after 15 days. now i'm losing my temper , no clear solution is provided to me and still i have no info about the application they have sent. this my message to aware all about the bad services provided to me by (don't know personally i.e service center/customer care/sony india). this is clear warning if i doesn't have my mobile within 7 days, i'm gonna complaint to consumer court.

Pathetic customer care service of DoGear Deapartment

This is Abhiraj Suryawanshi. I purchased the new lenovo Z580 laptop which is working absolutely fine. First of all I wanted to clear that experience with customer service center was VERY BAD. I suppose to get the eVouchers along with the z580 laptop that I have purchased . I had registered for the DoGear program on 24rd July 2013 attaching the required documents. I got mail for the successfull registration. After few days I got the mail saying that we have not received the required documents and ticket JHO-601-88411 got open Also I got the mail for credentials for the same. I have replied to that mail with required documents. I can see that reply updated in ticket but I DID NOT received any confirmation mail for the same. I have opened a new ticket for the query. Even For that ticket I DID NOT get any call. After few days I again got one mail saying that we still HAVE NOT received the required documents. again I had replied to mail with required documents. still I DID NOT received any confimation mail or call. I have tried contacting the DoGear customer care team 02240174686 , every time I got this number BUSY , when I tried contacting for atleast an hour it got connected BUT nobody attended the call. I could hear only prerecorded message all the the time "Your call is important to us. All our executives are busy attending other customers. Please wait while we connect you to our next available executive." so finally I got disconnected the call after 15 mins. If the call was really so important, somebody could have attended it, I am really unhappy with the service. I just want to say If you are unable to handle the people just dont start any promo offer. It will definitely increase the sales but at the same time you will receive such kind of mails from your so called VALUED customers and you will loose them. I hope POST would be helpful for you and it will clear the picture of your service.

Hi Somnathr,
You can try on 022-65025668. I hope your query will get resolved ASAP. BTW , new experience I faced after getting the vouchers somehow. I had ordered the two items from DoStore one is Lenovo Wireless Mouse N3903 (Metal) and Lenovo speaker C1530 WW (Black) by paying the Rs 400 extra as toatal was going above the voucher value 2000. But the service is i dont know how they have only delivered the Lenovo Wireless Mouse N3903 (Metal) only. Below is part of mail that I have received after placing the order stating clearly the items and amount I have piad extra.
Item                                                                 Sku               Qty      Subtotal
Lenovo Wireless Mouse N3903 (Metal)        888-012321     1         Rs. 850/-
Lenovo speaker C1530 WW (Black)             888-012155     1         Rs. 1,550/-
Subtotal                                                                                            Rs. 2,400/-

Discount (DGBPS4XYQUA4R7C)                                                   Rs. 2,000
Grand Total                                                                                       Rs. 400/-
I really so frustrated with the service. Again since today morning trying their number but no responce. Their cunstomer care executive are so busy handling the customers. I totally agree with you that there is some scam is going on in lenovo and they dont want to give the offer product to customers. It is really bad experience. last time when I got connected to they avoided to give any number or email ID for escalation. I sent the mail to [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected], [email protected]  . you can also try to send the email to the above mentioned Id's , hope it will help you...

Canon: Best Cameras, but Worst Customer CARE?

As a long-time lover of Canon's Powershot cameras, I've grown accustomed, and been quite willing to put up with, its user-unfriendly site, clunky software and various glitches and snags that come with getting set up.
With the new SX700, another amazing camera in the series, Canon Image Gateway ("CIG") sounded ready enough to take the time to set it up, along with the wireless CameraWindow app on mobile devices. I'd like to emphasize how many years of great photos Canon has given our family on vacations and special occasions, because the rest of this is not especially pretty.
Matters DID start well with the CameraWindow app. Installing it onto my S3 and Kindle Fire (side-loaded its apk) went smoothly. I can transfer images from camera to phone and tablet! Nice start, since it's a just a short hop from there to social-posting.
[[ By the way, for those who use Kindle, I highly recommend the APK Downloader extension for Chrome (for when an app is not available for Kindle directly). I found it while searching for the APK for this Canon app.
You enter the URL of the app (i.e., URL from Google Play). The app downloads the "official apk" to your desktop!
Transfer the apk onto your Kindle and then install it using a file manager.
You can count on the apk being virus-free since it comes from Google Play. Many apk sites don't have the more specialized-type of apps and there's always the worry about how clean their apks are. ]]
But I digress...
Back to Canon's Image Gateway. I should have stopped with CameraWindow on mobile devices, but was tempted by the ability to upload directly to social media from the camera via Canon's site (although it's not clear if it can do that in one-step).
What a pain. Canon's site asks me (you, too?) to log in to CIG even though I've already logged in. I can access my account, see that my 700 is registered, etc., but I'm asked to login again.
This would normally be just another one of Canon's inevitable glitches/low-usability issues (ex., one of its certificates is questioned by both Safari and Chrome with worrisome "careful" language, some parts are ambiguous and need figuring out, etc).
But the really big issue is that when I DO try to login (when already logged in), I get this error page, no matter which browser I try...
https://www.cig.usa.canon.com/error/general.html
I've tried many workarounds, looking for backdoors that take advantage of the fact that I'm already logged in, even downloaded their Gateway Album app to see if that might find a backdoor to login to Canon Image Gateway (desperate, I know). Same result - the app won't even login.
I finally(!) got the idea to see if was "just me" who couldn't figure this out. I did a search at Google for "cannot login to canon image gateway"...
https://www.google.com/#q=cannot+login+to+canon+image+gateway
This is, it seems, a BIG problem, especially when you consider that most folks just give up rather than come to forums, making what we see (here and in the Google search) just the tip of the iceberg. And it's been happening for many months.
Canon gives a variety of excuses, ranging from "server down for weekend maintenance" to the user being in a foreign country (don't lots of people use their cameras when traveling? -- global access would surely be a big part of this?).
Canon's basic strategy seems to be to bury the problem by telling folks to contact Support (whether it's at YouTube, their social media locations or here). Canon looks good by replying (and they do it religiously). If the intent was genuine, it would be admirable. But folks seem to enter a black hole and never come out.
Where are the happy "thanks for fixing that for me" customers? Almost everyone complains that they wasted hours with Support, repeating the same troubleshooting that they'd already spent so much time on. Some report being told that they were the only ones with the problem, clearly not true.
So I have no interest in wasting yet more of my time on this by contacting Support. (I did find one person who later managed to login, but that did not seem to be connected to his contacting Support, given the delay and lack of on-point communication from Canon.)
This is a disrespectful-to-loyal-customers attitude, no way to handle what should be a very simple problem. It boils down to this...
1) Logging into websites has been mastered by webmasters/sysadmins long ago.
2) The Image Gateway is now an essential, core functionality, especially if this actually enables users to upload directly to Facebook from the camera (once all is set up).
3) Even if it worked, there must be a faster way to set this up, to build the software into the camera? Canon could really use a Web-based UI-centric team that eliminates all the needless little barriers along the way. A customer CARE attitude starts well before having to post to a forum or contacting Support.
4) I love the Powershot cameras. The SX700 makes up for the disappointing 280 (with its video-related battery problem and minor changes). For example, the image stabilization on the 30x zoom of the 700 is amazing (the 30x itself is fantastic). And low-light shots are better than ever. The hardware is why so many of us stick with Canon.
The software has always lagged, something Canon can't afford in the long run, not anymore. Before worrying about that, though, customer CARE starts with paying attention to all the complaints and prioritizing THIS particular issue so that everyone can login painlessly.
In SOFTWARE companies, bugs that are "total stoppers," frequent and simple-to-fix - they normally get prioritized to the top. It's hard to understand why this is still an issue.
It's time to stop sending us to Support and instead to just fix this problem. We should be able to...
Enter username and password. Get in. Set up what is now core functionality painlessly. Get out. Watch happily as it all works perfectly after that.
With respect but frustration,
Ken
P.S. A quick follow-up. Installing that Gateway Album app actually DID seem to help. Some 2 hours after the initial failure, I can now login using both Safari and Chrome! The timing is too tight to be coincidence, although I've no idea why it works now.. However <sigh>...
The camera can no longer find the mobile devices (a big step back) and it won't give me an authentication code. And so it goes... the temptation to lose yet more time. Must resist and move on.

Hi KenE,
We're sorry to hear of the issues you've been having with our Canon Image Gateway. The website is currently down for maintenance and will be back up once it is completed. If you have any additional questions, feel free contact our Canon global support for your area here: http://www.canon.com/support.
Thanks and have a great day!

Really Disappointed with the Customer Care Services

Hi,
I had purchased a new Lenovo laptop G500(S) on 8.Nov.2013.
Just after 10 days it stopped working and didn’t start at all with or without battery.
I thought it’s a charging problem, so called customer care and they sent a technician for diagnosing the issue.
He gave a report and mentioned to replace the adapter, I got the new adapter within 3 days but the problem was still there.
Surprisingly, I did not get any call after delivery of adapter from Lenovo whether the issue is resolved or not L.
Finally I called the customer care again and explained everything, they concluded that they are sending new motherboard.
I requested them to replace the laptop itself as it’s not even a month and if there is a problem in motherboard that means the laptop is defective.
They gave me a new number saying that they don’t handle such requests and I have to call lencare.
I called at new number, my call was kept on hold for almost an hour and suddenly the phone got disconnected.
I also use another laptop of different brand and it happens with them too, but in such cases they arrange a call back for me if their customer executives are so busy.
Surprisingly, I waited for 2 days an didn’t get any call back from Lenovo.
I tried lencare number again and again but same thing happened that they put me on hold for 1 hour and phone got disconnected.
Finally I called the earlier customer care number, and they gave the same reply that your laptop will be replace without any problem but we can’t take this request.
This time they gave me an email address [email protected], but again no reply from them even after sending the reminder email.
Let me know if you can help.

First this is a technical base forum and we are users just like your self here. With that said your post is agaisnt the terms and use you just agreed to. if you have feed back for apple go to apple.com/feedback. Thank you

Worst customer care centre of Nokia is in noida Se...

My name is rajendra Singh and I have nokia 5800 xm.
I want to say that I had very bad experience with Nokia service centres at Noida.
The service centre located at sec-2 Noida is the worst centre of Nokia.
My phone has some network poblem so today I went to centre I show my phone there and without checking any parts They told me that your phone is liquid affected so your warranty has over and you have to pay money. I told them please check and show me where is liquid but they denied and told me to submitted money I went to owner of service centre and he told me same .A person in the center told me that they do it regularity and asked money from the customer even phone is in wareenty.They have disgusting service and just making money ,
Whenever you go center they always say that your phone is liquid affected and your wareenty is over and you have to pay charge.
Now I feel that I have wasted my rs 15000 to buy nokia phone .
Please do something someone.
this Service center is just making money and 90% customer are not happy with their service.
Please somebody take action against them.
Rajendra Singh

mr singh forgive me but your whole story lack conviction
it seems to me that as the service centre did not do your bidding u r out agaist them
btw u have not clearly mentioned when you bought this phone and whether warranty on it is stll valid SEEMS YOU HAVE VERY CONVENIENTLY SKIPPED THIS PART
i own an n8 and i went to a nokia service center regarding the headphones in the box
they checked the bill took a photocopy of it and promised me to replace the headphones
i got the replacement NO QUESTIONS ASKED
must say i saw a few customers asking them to do something ...when they were politely told that it is not poosible they just got angry and threathned to file complaints
it happens all the time...:

HP COMPUTERS WORST AFTER SALES SERVICE

This is to inform that not only your dealers cheat people by giving wrong information about HP product to sell HP products but your customer care service is even worst. Today I got a call from your Customer Relations Case Manager [Personal Information Removed] regarding my complain for HP SLATEBOOK X2 POOR BATTERY LIFE She is telling me that nothing can be done about your complain. SHE called me at 2:43 pm on 25/9/2013 and told me now nothing can be done about this now you also know that no tablet can give 12 to 14 hrs of battery backup. Then after argueing with her about the misleading information given to me by HP dealer TECHSMART SYSTEMS PVT.LTD SALES OFFICE about the battery back [Personal Information Removed] told me that has the dealer given me in writing that the tablet would give me 12 to 14hrs of battery backup or given me any specs sheet regarding this I said no but I am sure of this that their salesman said sir I can confirm you that the tablet will give you between 12 to 14 hrs of battery backup. I also told her that good battery back is the main criteria for me to buy the HP SLATEBBOK X2 tablet. Then she told me sorry sir we cannot do anything about this now and put my phone on hold and 2 to 3 mins disconnected my phone.
This is really very nice on HP COMPUTERS behalf how they treat their customers complain by doing these things calling them and telling them that nothing can be done about their complain and putting their phone on hold.

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums. I'm sorry but this is a peer-to-peer community of HP customers, and not a venue to contact HP directly. Most of the users here are consumers like yourself who are offering solutions because they like to help others, and any HP employees you see are here on their own capacity and not representing the company.
If you have additional or direct feedback for HP about their products or services, or questions about repair, you can use the link below for contact information.

This is really insulting and this is humiliating that I have been following up with Lenovo from this long time and I am not getting any response from you guys.
If you are not interested in helping me, then please let me know, so that I should go to some local vendor to get this fixed. This is becoming the ridicules experience with Lenovo. I was thinking that it is only HCL which was proving such service, that was ruining Lenovo's name, however Lenovo herself does not care about it's customers.
I will never buy anything of Lenovo ever again.

It's been almost 10 days since my phone is off and my work is hampering due to this, but no one is bothered to take lead and fix this issue.
I am really disappointed from Lenovo because of the customer service I have received and would avoid buying any Lenovo Products in future. I would rather like to go with a company who provides good service to there customers when they need it, instead of just ignoring their problems and issues.

Dear Mr. Ghosh,
I used to be the loyal Fan of Lenovo products till today. I have two Lenovo Laptops and 3 Lenovo phones within my family, as I used to love Lenovo products.
But today all my views about Lenovo changed because of one HCL guy Paramjeet (55004428). This guy gave me such a worst experience of my life when it came to customer service of Lenovo, that I am no longer a fan of Lenovo products.
The issue was simple, my android OS got corrupted and my phone's warranty will be going to expire on December 22, 2014. So I went to your customer service hoping to get the OS reinstall and start working with my phone. But this guy simply said NO to me as there was a slight crack on my screen. He said my warranty is now void as there is a crack in my screen and I will not get any support on this until or unless I do not spend 8000 Rs to change the screen first. When I asked him to give me this thing in written, he denied saying that I am not going to give you anything in written. The guy was extremely rude. I did not ask him to change the screen under warranty, All I asked was to restore my OS. Further, my phone charger (not working) which has got nothing to do with a crack on the screen of phone. He said that the warranty is expired for it as well.
I thought that Lenovo was a respected company who actually cares for it's customer, but I know that Lenovo is just another company who simply treat it's customers nice only till the product is not sold. Once the product is sold nobody gives a **bleep** about the customers.
Today I realized that there is no difference between the customer service of phone company like Micromax and a big and trusted brand like Lenovo.
I really do not know what action you will take on this, but if this is the level of customer service provided by Lenovo, then that day is not far when your customer will start moving to another competitor.
Regards,
Malwinder Singh
And this time, its been more then 8 days since my last email and more than 15 days since Ireceived any call or email from Lenovo Customer care and no one is even bothered to reply.

Please reply to this email and let me know if you are unwilling to help. I am not able to use my phone or get it checked anywhere outside, because you informed me that you are working on this. However, I neither received any call or email from your end from last 7 days.
Please reply to this email and let me know how should I proceed.

Dear Mr. Ghosh,
I used to be the loyal Fan of Lenovo products till today. I have two Lenovo Laptops and 3 Lenovo phones within my family, as I used to love Lenovo products.
But today all my views about Lenovo changed because of one HCL guy Paramjeet (55004428). This guy gave me such a worst experience of my life when it came to customer service of Lenovo, that I am no longer a fan of Lenovo products.
The issue was simple, my android OS got corrupted and my phone's warranty will be going to expire on December 22, 2014. So I went to your customer service hoping to get the OS reinstall and start working with my phone. But this guy simply said NO to me as there was a slight crack on my screen. He said my warranty is now void as there is a crack in my screen and I will not get any support on this until or unless I do not spend 8000 Rs to change the screen first. When I asked him to give me this thing in written, he denied saying that I am not going to give you anything in written. The guy was extremely rude. I did not ask him to change the screen under warranty, All I asked was to restore my OS. Further, my phone charger (not working) which has got nothing to do with a crack on the screen of phone. He said that the warranty is expired for it as well.
I thought that Lenovo was a respected company who actually cares for it's customer, but I know that Lenovo is just another company who simply treat it's customers nice only till the product is not sold. Once the product is sold nobody gives a **bleep** about the customers.
Today I realized that there is no difference between the customer service of phone company like Micromax and a big and trusted brand like Lenovo.
I really do not know what action you will take on this, but if this is the level of customer service provided by Lenovo, then that day is not far when your customer will start moving to another competitor.

Malwinder Singh
And this time, its been more then 8 days since my last email and more than 15 days since Ireceived any call or email from Lenovo Customer care and no one is even bothered to reply.

Worst Customer Service Installing New Phone Line

I am experiencing the worst customer service i've ever dealt with. First it took 3attempts to set up a home phone line. Verizon scheduled me between 8am-12pm the first time and came around 2:30, no one was there. Second time we scheduled between 12p-4p, they came around 8:30am. No one was there. Then they wanted to schedule again 5 days later. I wasn't having it, so they schedule next day (Sat) between 8am-12pm. Finally a technician came. He installed a new phone line. I needed this line for my son who was coming home on house arrest. All of this was explained to Verizon. The longer it took them to install the line, the longer he would be in jail. After the line was installed, my son came home on Friday, 7/3. Some time on Sat 7/4 The line stopped working, and 1am he was re-arrested because there was no phone service.Today is the 9th and still there is no service. I sat in my cvar this morning from 7:45am to 1:15 pm waiting for a technician who was supposed to be there between 8am-12pm. After numerous clls to Verizon, and numerous promises to call me back, no one ever called back, and the phone is still not on. I have never had a customer service experience as bad as this EVER! I am so glad I have my wireless with Sprint. I have Verizon FIOS at my home in Jersey, but this phone is in Philly. To top it off, one Verizon employee tells me today that The house arrest equipment doesn't work with fiber optics. Why wasn't I told this when I first ordered the service? I'm still waiting for a Verizon Supervisor to call. My last call, i was conviently disconnected while being transferred to a supervisor. Because of Verizon's no care attitude, now it will probably take another week before my son is released again.

Worst Customer Service at Store # 438 - San Diego Mission Valley

For the second time I experienced last night the worst customer service at any store I've been too. I don't know if the employee (Jackie) is to blame or General Management (or Corporate Training Management) but I have been so unlucky to have to speak with this person for the second time. I will describe the two experiences to see if this is the kind of Customer Service training this people get:
The First time I talked to Jackie at the Customer Service desk I was there to return a Camera I had purchase and was not happy with it. This time she informed me of the 15 days return policy (never looking at me or my eyes, always looking down at the computer, never smiling, sounding rude and with a tone of voice of are you stupid?). I had to inform her I was an Elite Plus Member and I was entitled to a 45 days return policy. To my surprise even though she went into her system and verified I was an Elite Plus Member she dared to tell me: "Maybe when you bought the camera you were not an elite plus member, so you were not entitled to the 45 days return policy". Then I assured here this year alone I had spent already over 10,000 dlls at that particular best buy store (mostly) and I was definately NOT NEW to the Elite Plus program, even mentioned I had been a Silver Member since 2009 with no stop. To my surprise again she insinuated I was a liar and said: "How can I be certain of that?"... I mean, are you for real? Do BB train people to talk this way to customers and call them liars? Why would I lie about this kind of thing? Why didn't she bother to check online when my Elite Plus Status kicked in? Anyway after arguing for a while and having to put up with her she offered the refund in a Gift Card which I said FINE, I had to get going, and anyway I usually buy a lot of stuff here, so that would not bother me. But she made me feel not welcome at the store and made me consider other store options with good customer service.
As if practially being called a liar wasn't enough, last night I had my second encounter with this same Jackie rep at the Customer Service at the same store. This time I was there to exchange a ASUS Transformer Pad I had bought in Vegas (during a trip I made there). The tablet was defective and battery only lasted 1 hour. I received the same treatment, (never looking at me or my eyes, always looking down at the computer, never smiling, sounding rude). Never explained my options or said, don't worry we will take care. She seemed so unhappy as usual and kept me in suspense to see what was going to happen until I asked her. She then said she was waiting for someone to pass by and go get a new tablet (which I was hoping for). After a few minutes somebody passed by she asked for the tablet and at the time of procesing the exchange she tells me: "where did you buy the table?" I responded in Vegas. So she said, ok well, there is a CA recycle fee you have to pay now. I argueed, I am not buying it, I bought it in Vegas and it was defective, I am only exchanging it, why am I am being now charged 3 dollars more? To my surprise what she responded was: "well, this is the way it is, if you don't like it, then go back to Vegas and exchange it there" (on a very "are you stupid" kind of voice)... Seriously I had enought and said, OK just charge my card and write your name on the receipt (which she gladly did).
I don't know if she is to blame or the Management at the Store is, but she obviously lacks people skills and definately has zero training. She knew I was an Elite Plus Member again and did not care to be a bit nicer about it. Honestly I had never experienced this kind of service anywhere before, she made me so upset I did not even want to talk to the General Manager or whatever available manager because I was then going to be extremely rude and I don't like to be that way. So I had to go home and cool down.
Then I decided to fill up the customer feed back and write about my experience, but I am also hoping to reach the corporate offices with this post. I am hoping the store gets a service audit in case you have any interest in us (customers) coming back and purchase at the store. People are moving to purchase online and there are plenty of stores and good offers to take advantage of, but I am one of those who love the store purchase experience (not at this bestbuy thought).
To finish my post I am telling you last night I had the intention to get a 4K 55" TV at the store after my exchange. Ask me if I went ahead with my 1,800 dlls purchase?

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.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CLIENT SUPPORT OF ANY COMPUTER COMPANY EVER

i bought the new thinkpad and recd the end of dec 2012. I recoomended it to many in my company and am sorry they all started buying them. We all got the ultra book think pads. My was core 17-quite expensive/4333 SERIES. I bought iT with the warranty. NOTE- WHEN YOU BUY THE THINK PAD - YOU NEED THE EXTRA WARANTY NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT -PRO WARRANTY.THE WARANTY YOU GET FOR 3 YEARS IS BOGUS.
i USED MY THINK PAD LIGHTLY AND ALWAYS TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT. I PREPARED FOR 6 MONTHS A PROJECT AND HAD IT SAVED TO MY HARD DRIVE BUT NO COPIES. THE MACHINE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. I PANICKED AS THE INFO WAS NEEDED FOR A MAJOR PRESENTATION I AM MAKING NEXT WEEK.
i CALLED LENOVA IMMEDIATELY AND THEY FGAVE ME 5 PHONE NUMBERS SO I CAN BRING IT IN AND HAVE IT SERVICED. IT WAS UNDER WARANTY UNTIL 2015.
ALL 5 PLACES THEY GAVE DO NOT FIX THE COMPUTERS. I CALLED LENOVO BACK BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT EVEN FIND A DEALER THAT COULD FIX THE MACHINE. I SENT IT TO THEM ON THE 25TH. ON THE 27TH I USED MY CASE NUMBER AND FOUND IT WAS IN REPAIR. I CALLED ON THE 27,28,29,30,1,2,3, I SPOKE TO EVERY DEPARTEMT AND COLLECTIVELY SPENT 30 HOURS OF TIME(YES I WAS HING UP ON, SENT TO WORNG DPARTMENTS, PLACED ON HOLD FOREVER) TRYING TO TRACK MY COMPUTER AND THE PROBLEM. EVERY PERSON SAYS "I AM SORRY, I UNDERSTAND , ETC. THEY DO NOT. I NEEDED TO EITHER RETRIEVE THE INFO FROM THE HARDRIVE OR HAVE IT REPAIRED BEFORE I LEAVE FOR EUROPE IN 2 DAYS FOR A POWER POINT PRESENTATON THAT TOOK 6 MONTHS TO PREPARE AND NO BACK UP. FINALLY I WAS TOLD THE ADAPTER PORT WAS BROKEN AND THE COMPUTER BOARD BURNT OUT AND TO GIVE THEM 950.00 TO FIX A COMPUTER I DID NOT DROP, TAMPER WITH OR BREAK. i USED THE POWER CORD THEY GAVE ME AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN CHARGE ME FOR A COMPUTER THAT IS NEW-WITHOUT A SCRATCH AND UNDER THE WARRANTY THEY SOLD ME. WHY DID I BUY A WARRRANTY?. SHAME ON IBM AND LENOVO. 950.00 . SHAME ON YOU OVER AND OVER.
I SPOKE TO EVERY DEPARTMENT AND THEY KNOW NOTHING EXCEPT HOW TO TRANSFER ME FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER DEPT. ONE MAN TOLD ME THE COMPUTER IS UNDER WARRANTY AND HE WOULD HAVE IT FIXED AND THEN TRANSFERED ME TO A MANAGER TO REVIEW ALL HE CONFIRMED. . AGAIN I WAS SENT TO TECH SUPPORT AND THEN SALES AND THEN WARRANTY AND BACK AGAIN. THERE IS NO MANAGER, JUST PEOPLE THAT PASS THE BUCK AROUND WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY. i WROTE EACH PERSONS NAME DOWN -AND THE LIST IS LONG. i DID SPEAK TO THE WARRANTY DEPT AND I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT GET THE RIGHT WARRANTY AS THE MACHINE IS MORE THAN 90 DAYS OLD AND NOW IN REPAIR. . LENOVO KNOWS ONE THING- CHARGE THE CUSTOMER AND THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY DID WRONG OR THAT THE MACHOINE I RECIEVED WAS FAUTLY. I AM TO BLAME AND HELD HOSTAGE FOR 950.00. I FINALLY SPOKE TO A WOMAN WHO SAID SHE WOULD SEND MY CASE TO A MANAGER TO ESCALTE. SHE WAS CONDESCENDING AND HORRIBLE. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND TIMING AND SHE IS SORRY AND SHE UNDERSTANDS- BUT I DO NOT THINK ANYONE UNDERSTANDS THE WORDS THEY ARE SPEWING. IF THEY UNDERSTOOD- WHY IS IT GOING TO TAKE 3-5 MORE DAYS TO GET THE CASE TO ESCALATE.I WILL LEAVE ON A TRIP WITHOUT MY WORK AND ONE OF THESE DAYS -SOMEONE TILL WAKE UP AND JUST START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AND ASK ME THE PROBLEM AND DEMAND THE 950.00. WAKE UP IBM AND LENOVO AND KNOW I WILL DO ANYTHING I CAN TO DISCOURAGE MY COMPANIES AND ANYONE I AM ASSOCIATED WITH TO NOT CONSIDER IBM PRODUCTS.YOUR CUSTOMER CARE IS HORRIBLE. YOUR SYSTEMS AND TRAINING OF PERSONAL IS TERRIBLE. i WANT MY COMPUTER BACK, FIXED AND NO CHARGE AND ACCEPTED AS IT WAS UNDER THE WARRANTY I BOUGHT. iF THERE IS AN EXTRA PRO THNKPAD WARRANTY I NEED TO BUY- I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO SO. i AM POSTING THIS BLOG ON ALL MY COMPANIES WEBSITES INCLUDING FACEBOOK, TWITTER ,LINKED IN -GLOBALLY. PERHAPS I WILL DO SOME GOOD IN WARNING ANYONE THAT WAS THINKING OF IBM PRODUCTS TO NOT BUY THEM

Dave,
Sorry to hear about your troubles - I can only imagine your frustration and the time crunch.
The best approach is to ask that your case be escalated to customer relations - this will usually take 24-48 hours and it sounds like that may be already in the works. Customer relations should be able to work with service and depending on the circumstances have the system repaired under your exisiting standard warranty terms.
A standard or extended warranty should be enough in most instances - the accidental damage upgrade is really to cover drops, spills, physically broken parts - cracked LCDs, hinges, etc. These types of damages are often rulled as "customer induced" and not covered under normal warranty which results in a billable ammount quoted for the repair.
Service applies their best judgement on these, but we recognize that circumstances can vary and so there is an escalation and review process to make sure we can intercede and help customers as appropriate given the particulars of the case.
Best regards,
Mark

Could this be the worst customer service ever???

Hi - not used the forum before, but have had the most unbelievable time trying to deal with BT. The simplest way to illustrate how abysmally terrible they have been is to paste below the letter of complaint (and the follow up 2 weeks later) that I have sent to BT. It is long, but shocking reading, and compelling if you have ever had experience of what BT ironically calls "Curstomer Service". No response yet, apart from a lame reply a few weeks later saying that they agree that the service was terrible, but that they probably won't do anything about it. As soon as the 8 weeks are up, I'm going to escalate this to http://www.ombudsman-services.org/
Am I missing something here? Am I expecting too much of BT? Am I making a fuss over nothing? Or does this resonante with anyone who has had dealings with them?
ORIGINAL LETTER (5th NOVEMBER):
Dear British Telecom
I am afraid that I need to make a formal complaint about my treatment at the hands of BT over the past 6 weeks.
I received a MAC code from BT at the start of September which I tried to use to switch to another supplier. The supplier told me that when I had signed up to BT Infinity with you last year, this had made the line incompatible for the ADSL service that I was now requesting and the line needed to be downgraded. I originally called BT on 13th September to request that this be done, and spoke to a woman called Jackie. She agreed that it was remiss of BT not to have explained the implications of the switch to BT Infinity when I was offered the deal, and so agreed to arrange a manual downgrade of the line to avoid triggering a contract renewal. She told me that the work would be complete by 23rd September and that I would receive confirmation from BT that the work was to take place within 2 business days. No confirmation came through. I called again the following week and had 2 lengthy conversations, with one person telling me that no work was in progress, and another telling me that yes it was in progress. However, on 24th, the work had still not been done.
I called again on the morning of 24th for a very lengthy conversation (well over an hour), when after a lot of resistance, the person eventually explained that they didn’t know why the work had not been carried out, but it would definitely be carried out the next day. I asked her to assure me that if this was not done, then I would not be liable for any charges as a result of BT’s repeated failure to perform this work. She agreed to this.
I went on holiday the following day, and by the time I returned on 10th October, my other supplier, had still not managed to use the MAC code to switch to them, and it had now expired. It had been repeatedly rejected because there was an open order on the line.
I called again on 10th, and was told that they didn’t know why the work had not been completed, but it would be done by 14th. I was told I would have one month of broadband payments refunded, and that I would not need to make any further payments to BT, as it was BT’s fault that the work had not been done and I was still with you. I requested confirmation of this twice, to be sure that I had not misunderstood, and it was given twice in very clear terms.
Of course, the 14th came, and the supplier I wanted to switch to was still being told that there was an open order on my account. I called again on 14th, and this time was told that the work actually took place on 26th September, but that there was still an open order on my account. None of the many people I was passed to over the next couple of weeks was able to tell me what the order was for – one person said it was just an administrative item that needed to be closed. I spoke to many people who claimed that it was closed. Eventually someone agreed to do a little research and found some background processes running, which were eventually closed after several more difficult calls.
These calls were without exception long and difficult. I was often promised calls back with explanations, but not one ever came. I was often told that I needed to be put through to another department and that the person I was speaking to had spoken with them and they would be able to help me quickly and easily and were awaiting that I be transferred, but I was put through to a long phone queue and then spoke to someone who didn’t know anything about my case and was not able to help anyway. I had to repeatedly explain the situation from scratch to somebody new, despite being assured that this would not be necessary. In short, I spend very many hours that I really could not afford on the phone to BT to sort this out.
This was dereliction of customer service and a breach of your duty of care on a significant scale (in addition to the failure to supply the service downgrade promised, and then the failure to communicate that it had been supplied until I called many times more). The calls caused me significant frustration and distress, and affected my mood for a long time after. The hours I had to spend on the phone in a vain attempt to make myself understood by your people caused me to miss deadlines at work, to appear sloppy, and to present myself in a less professional way than usual due to the vexation caused by all of this. I could never have imagined that getting a simple request fulfilled could require such a significant expenditure of time, effort and internal strength.
My complaint is not that there was an initial error with the work, but that this error was not explained, investigated or put right despite extremely lengthy efforts by myself to communicate with BT what needed to be done. I was treated with disrespect many times, as people told me they were putting me through to specific people they had spoken to, but then just put me through to a long phone queue; people promised me confirmation texts/emails and update calls which never came; different people gave completely conflicting stories about what was going on with my account; people repeatedly assured me that everything was fine and the other supplier would now be able to place the order, and the other supplier was not able to place the order. These were not one-off events – each of these situations happened several times. I can only describe your customer service as consistently abysmal.
Finally, last week, the supplier I want to switch to was able to place the order and arrange for the takeover of my line and broadband which will take place next week.
Sadly, though, that is not the end of my problems with BT. In the early hours of this morning, I received 3 emails asking me to view and pay my new bill. This came to over £140 (up to now I have been paying £17 per month), and included an incomprehensible set of charges for “Line Rental”, “Broadband and Calls” (which included BT Infinity Option 2, which I do not have), as well as separate listings for “BT Broadband Option 3”, which I also do not have. There are no words to describe the shock and disbelief I felt upon opening this.
Throughout the whole process, I have been very clear and explained multiple times that my purpose has been to be able to switch to another supplier, and that despite being offered new contracts and new deals many times, this was not what I wanted. I only wanted to be able to switch as soon as possible, and so wanted no renewal of any contract. I was assured several times that this is what would be achieved. The comments on my latest bill refer to a “contract start date”, and so if there is any new contract in place, this has not only been done without my consent, but in contravention of my repeatedly expressed wishes. Whether the explanation for this is gross incompetence or corruption, it is not acceptable, and must be cancelled immediately.
I called again today, but again found myself talking to apologetic people who couldn’t help who passed me on to long phone queues which led to more apologetic people who couldn’t help.
Given that this has been going on for so long and given that the many promises made to me by BT have been repeatedly broken and given that I had been clearly and explicitly assured that I would not have to make any further payments to BT, as my switch was in progress and only BT was obstructing it from taking place; I am no longer prepared to subject myself to this treatment. Rather than paying you this money and giving you more of my time, I would expect significant compensation from you for the many many hours I have put in to trying to address the consequences of BT’s failures and for the resultant stress, that has affected other areas of my life and which continues to do so.
Please respond to this letter within 14 days, confirming that you will be cancelling the latest bill and any contract that you may have put in place, and advising me what level of financial compensation you feel would adequately compensate me for what I have been put through by BT. Naturally, you will not be proposing any credit to my account, as I will hopefully no longer be a BT customer in a few days’ time, and the balance on the account should actually be zero.
I look forward to your prompt response.
Yours sincerely
FOLLOW UP LETTER (20th NOVEMBER):
Dear British Telecom
I submitted the letter below via the complaints section of your website on 5th November, asking for a response within 14 days. The automated response said that you would normally respond to complaints within 48 hours, but at very busy periods this may take up to 96 hours. However, 2 weeks has now passed and I have received no response from BT.
I tried calling BT again on 12th November, after receiving a new bill demand. On the automated system, I asked to speak about my bill. The automated voice said “about your bill. Is that right?”, I said yes, but it put me through to the BT Options team, who were not able to help and eventually transferred me to the billing team. I spoke to one lady and to her manager, and was told that she would investigate the huge and confusing charges on my bill, and the promise that had been made to me that I would not incur ANY further charges, and that she would get back to me on my mobile number within 48 hours, and that if she could not reach me, she would call back until she did. I asked whether this meant that my bill would be on hold until she spoke to me again, and she clearly confirmed this. Of course, no call ever came, so my bill is actually still on hold now, according to she clearly told me.
Then, in the early hours of 18th November, I received 2 emails: one telling me that another provider had requested to take over my broadband service and that service would stop from midday on that day (even though it had actually been transferred to another provider more than a week earlier), and another thanking me for taking out a new 12 month phone contract starting on 18th November. Of course, I never discussed any new contract from BT, apart from stating very clearly on several occasions during my many calls with you that I specifically didn’t want to enter into any new contracts.
I called again on 18th to speak to the complaints department. I spoke to Angela, who told me that the complaint that I had made on the phone on the 12th, and the complaint that I sent via your site 2 weeks ago, and which I copy below, had both been ‘escalated’ to a woman in India called Sharon, who was supposed to have called me back by 14th. Angela said she would look into this, get hold of the complaint I had sent and read it carefully, and would look to cancel my bill and offer me compensation. As has been a common occurrence in my dealings with BT, she apologised for the way things had been handled so far and assured me that she would now take ownership of my case and would definitely call me back at 2.30pm with an update, even if the situation was not fully resolved at that point. She even re-confirmed my mobile number, but of course, no call ever came.
And, incredibly, this morning, I received another email from BT, telling me that as I hadn’t paid my bill yet, a late-payment charge had been added to it, and threatening me with a downgrade of my credit status.
Again, I feel compelled to emphasise the great frustration and stress that this situation is causing me. This is utter neglect of your duty of customer care, and there is nobody in your confusing maze of customer support phone services who has been able to understand and address any of my issues I have had over this extremely difficult 2 months. Several people have promised that they would take ownership of my case, and would stay in contact with me, but none of them ever has. There seems to be no way to meaningfully communicate with anybody at your end, even while the bills, and charges, and threats and confusing emails are coming thick and fast. This is now proving to be equally true of your complaints procedure – my complaint has been completely ignored.
As I requested in my previous letter (below), please cancel my bill immediately and propose what level of financial compensation you feel would reasonably compensate me for the extreme frustration and stress that I have been subjected to in recent months, which has affected other areas of my life, including my work and family life, and the time and trouble I have taken to try to reach you to get this sorted out.
I include a copy of my original letter below, and am sending this to you both by email and in the post. I would like a positive response within 10 calendar days of the date of this letter, addressing all of the issues I am raising. Beyond this 10 day period, I may take further action, which may include legal action and/or publicity about this case.
Yours sincerely

Update - in case anyone is still interested - Here is my response to them:
30th December 2013 – Our Response
Thank you for your proposal, which we do not find acceptable.
Not only does it ignore the promise that we were made by telephone in October that we would not receive any more bills from BT, as the fact that we were still with you had already been down to your negligence for some time, but it also ignores the abysmal service that you have given us and the resultant stress and personal inconvenience that you have directly caused. An apology and a weak offer to refund the difference between what we pay now and what we paid you is very very far from even beginning to make up for this. Your wilfully ignoring a promise that you had made in October and that we very clearly drew your attention to in our original letter is yet another example of this, as are your over-complicated "final" bills, which are not easy to make any sense of.
You say that you will feed back to the agents involved about the terrible service that they have given. This will make no difference. If only one or two agents had been involved in delivering a terrible customer experience, then maybe this may have helped, but the fact that your service has been so consistently and unswervingly catastrophic in every single interaction (and you will be aware that there are very many posts on forums all over the Internet singling out BT for similarly incalculably bad service) suggests that the problem is in your processes, your training and your staggering lack of customer service ethic. If you truly wish to make changes, your actions will need to be far more fundamental than simply scape-goating a few individuals who are doing nothing different from anyone else you employ. I do not hold any individual or individuals responsible for what BT has done, but BT as a whole.
I intend to refer this case to Ombudsman Services: Communications, but would welcome a response from you before 2nd January if you have anything further to add.

DSL Not Working for 7 Days and Tickets Closed without Resolution - Worst Customer Service

My DSL light has been blinking for 7 days. A technician came out Monday and checked inside my house and outside. He said the problem is outside, that there is an issue with the wires on the street. He said that the "Home Office" needs to internally switch the wires. The technician went to the "Home Office" which is right down the street but the technician was not at her desk so he put in a request for the wire to be switched. In the meantime, he manually switched the wires to get the internet working but said the internet would go down for 5-10 minutes when the "Home Office" did the official switch. When I got home from work, my internet was not working and my DSL light was blinking again. I immediately called Verizon and was told that my ticket had been closed and that a technician would need to come out again. Since the technician had already been in my house that morning and confirmed the issue was with the wires on the street and not my house, I told them no one would be home because I could not take another day off from work. It was understood that the technician could reach me by cell phone if he needed to talk to me but he was coming to look at the wires on the street. A visit was scheduled for the next day, Tuesday. I received a voice mail from the technician that he would be at my house in 20 minutes and would call me when he arrived. I never heard back from him and when I got home, my internet was still down. I immediately called Verizon to check on the status of the ticket. At first, the agent couldn't even locate my ticket but then informed me it was closed. I questioned the closure of the ticket since the problem had not been resolved. I then proceeded to be on hold for an HOUR while the agent tried to find out why the ticket had been closed. After an hour, the response was he didn't know and that I would have to open another ticket for an agent to come out AGAIN. The agent then insisted I needed to be home because the technician needed to check inside the house despite being told by me that the technician had already been in my house the day before and confirmed the problem was on the street. The agent then told me I needed to be home so the technician could update me. I told the agent the technician could call me on my cell phone since he clearly has the phone number since he called me on Monday AND Tuesday. The agent agreed and I gave my cell phone number again for the technician to call me. There are no appointments available until Thursday which will be 8 days since the internet went down. At this point, after 3 tickets opened, two that were closed without the problem being solved and two site visits with a third scheduled and 60 minutes on the phone,I am doubtful the issue will be resolved Thursday. I've reached the point where if the problem isn't fixed on Thursday, I am canceling my service with Verizon after six years. I shouldn't be paying for service that Verizon can't even provide because their own technician can't fix an issue with the wires outside my house.
This experience has been frustrating and the worst customer service I've ever experienced.
