Apple Customer Service  Sediment

Write in English, passed the information written in Korean, not going to work well. Please read and interpreted
안녕하세요
저는 한국에 살고 있는 19살 고등학교에 다니고 있는 여학생입니다.
힘들게 부모님 설득하여 1년동안 모은 저의 용돈으로 아이팟 터치를 구매하였는데.
아이팟터치를 사고 1년도 안되서 리퍼만 3번을 받았습니다.
제가 2010년 2월달에 아이팟터치를 구매하여 사용하다 고장이나서 배터리불량현상이라는 같은 증상으로만 3번 리퍼를 받았습니다.
아이팟 구매후 일년도 안된 시간에 3번이나 리퍼를 받았다는게
이게 말이 된다 생각하나요?
물건구매한지 일년도 안된 시간에 고장수리만 3번이라니.
그건 물건구매하는 소비자가 기계에 대해 잘 모르니 대충 해서 주어도 된다는 애플의 회사방침인가요?
3번째 보낼때도 엄청 화가 났는데..3번째 리퍼 받은지 하루 만에 또 고장이 났습니다.
위에도 적었지만.. 저 이제 고등학생입니다.
한달에 부모님이 주시는 용돈으로 생활하고 있는 고등학생.
미국은 고등학생들이 아르바이트를 하며 자신의 용돈을 만들기도 하지만
한국에서의 고등학생은 오로지 부모님이 주시는 용돈만이 수입인데
그 용돈 모아서 아이팟 구매 하였고..리퍼 받을때도 제 용돈으로 해결했어요.
저 부자아닙니다.
처음 리퍼를 받을때 아빠께서 자동차로 데려다 주셨고 , 나머지는 택배로 보냈습니다.
택배비만 , 24.000들었고 애플서비스센터는 흔하지도 않다보니 차로 움직였을때의 기름비, 톨게이트비,주차비 등등을 계산하면 4만원정도가 나왔습니다.
한국돈의 가치를 모른다면 회사에 분명 한국직원이 있을테니 그 한국직원에게 물어보세요.
고등학생에게 4만원이란 어떤 돈인지.
그렇게 수리를 받은 물건이 제대로 작동이나 되면 그동안 들어갔던 돈에 대한 아까움은 잊을 수 있겟죠.(그래도 솔직히 돈은 아까움.)
그러나 , 수리해서 보냈단 물건이 반복되서 같은 문제로 고장이 난다면
당신들은 어떻겠습니까?
이게 말이 되나요?
구두수리공 아저씨들도 싸구려 구두를 맡겨도 이따위로 고쳐주진 않는단 말입니다.
또한 저의 문제를 본 사람들이 '애플제품을 구매하면 안되겠다!'라고 하십니다.
난 그 말도 화가 납니다.
내가 자신있게 구입하여 사용하는 제품이 다른 사람들에게 "사면 안되는 골치덩어리 물건" 으로 인식되는거. 내 자존심을 건드렸단 말입니다.
내 생각에는 고장난 제품을 겉만 새걸로 교체하여 고쳤다고 해서 보내는 것 같네요.
저는 애플이 '물건을 팔고 나면 끝이다' 라는 생각을 가진 회사가 아니라고 믿고 싶습니다.
만약 소비자를 우습게 아는 안일한 생각으로 경영을 하는 회사라면 언젠간 그 회사도 우스운 꼴로 끝이 날거라 저는 생각합니다.
애플은 소비자를 우습게 생각하는 회사가 아니라 그렇게 믿고 싶습니다.
결론은,,,,저는 완벽한 아이팟을 사용하고 싶어요.
그리고 물건구매후 서비스도 제대로 해주는..회사의 물건을 구입하고 싶어요.
저의 문제를 어떻게 해결주실껀지 꼭 답변해주세요.

Did you call the 1 800 MY APPLE number? Or try chat on the Apple store site?

  • How can I send an e-mail to Apple Customer Service?

    Does anybody know how I can reach Apple Customer Service via e-mail?
    Since they repeatedly delete the questions I post to this discussion platform, maybe I can communicate with them via e-mail.
    If you are one of the Apple customer service people who are screening and deleting my posts, could you kindly send me an e-mail instead so we can start a communication.
    Any help/hints would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, that email address is not Customer Service; it is for problems relating to your Apple Support Community account only and will therefore most likely not have the desired results.
    Apple has not published an email address for customer service; the best way to contact them for that would be at their corporate address in Cupertino:

  • We need a new section entitled:  Issues With Apple Customer Service

Please use this forum appropriately. Failure to do so may result in your posting privileges to this forum being disabled.

    Alright, I have a suggestion for improvement. We need a new forum section for complaints about the way Apple is treating us.
    To make sure I'm being clear, let me give you an example of just such a post that may be included in such a section.
    I ordered online the family packs of Leopard, iWork '08 and iLife '08 on November 6th. I received an email telling me my order had been shipped on November 7th.
    On November 9th I decided to check the progress of my shippment by logging on to FedEx. To my surprise, it had been delivered! Not to me but another party. I could download a PDF from FedEx and see the signature.
    After trying to deal with FedEx for a few days I was finally told to deal with Apple because they would have to initiate the investigation. Fine. These things happen.
    On 11/13/2007 I spoke with an Apple Customer Service Representative and received an Apple Issue Number and Case Number. I was told that it should be resolved in a few days. It wasn't.
    11/20/2007, Here's where it gets interesting. In talking with them again I explained that since my signature was not on the FedEx ticket it had not been delivered properly if at all. I explained that since FedEx was clearly at fault the package should be shipped again. Finally they agreed. I was told that my package would be shipped and to expect an email.
    11/23/2007, I was told again that nothing would be shipped until after an investigation had been completed. So did they lie? I spoke with a manager who kept repeating that he was sorry for the mis-communication. That became very frustrating to say the least. Remember, FedEx requires a signature. Without it or my permission to deliver somewhere else they must deliver to me and get my signature. The FedEx PDF clearly shows another persons signature.
    Equally frustrating is the fact that they will not keep me informed as to the status. I have to call them and wait on hold. I did get a couple of emails with text along the lines of, "We continue to work with our carrier on your lost package. "
    However, there is no way to reply to these form letters. The only way to stay in touch with Apple is to call and be put on hold.
    Twice, after giving them my order number and being put on hold "while they look up my records" or whatever, the call was disconnected. I'm not saying they did so on purpose but the results were the same. Another call, another round of giving my order number and explaining to yet again a new person the details of the situation.
    I've had many problems with Apple since becoming a customer in June of 2006 but I just can't let this go. I need a place to warn others. If you buy something, you might be better off buying it from a store instead of on-line. This kind of information is needed to warn others concerning the business practices of Apple should something go wrong. This is why we need a new section for putting forth such complaints.

    It seems to me that the real problem here is with FedEx, as I have encountered similar types of problems with them in the past. Even though a signature is required, I have had packages left on my porch. When I enquired, someone had actually signed (i.e.forged) my name! Other times it has been left on my porch with some other signature. When I call to complain, FedEx just seems to think there is no problem as long as I got my package. They seem totally unconcerned even though a signature is required and I definitely did not authorize delivery with no signature. I have expressed my concerns directly to Apple, but have no way of knowing if it has done any good. I think this problem is worse with FedEx ground, as that is contracted out. Around here anyway, i think the drivers will sign the ticket and leave the package just so they won't have to make another trip. It's not right, and it's not supposed to happen this way, but i know it does.
    Apple entrusted your package to FedEx in good faith that it would be delivered to you, and that your signature would be required for you to receive it. That should have resulted in you receiving it. however, due to a false signature, you did not. Clearly, FedEx is responsible.
    If the package was supposedly delivered to your address, but has a false signature, I wonder if the driver might have signed the delivery ticket or gotten someone else to sign it and just left it on your porch or something like that. If so, it could have been subsequently stolen. If something like this happened, it might explain why things are so bogged down in the investigation at Apple. From their viewpoint, the package was delivered and a signature was obtained and they are probably being stonewalled by FedEx.
    A user to user discussion forum such as Apple Discussions won't help with delivery problems. It's best to report them directly to Apple as you have done. If you continue to have problems, you can call Apple and ask to speak to Apple Customer Relations. They may well be able to cut through the red tape. You could also express your concern in the "Feedback to Apple" section. Maybe if enough people complain, they might consider awarding the shipping contract to someone else. Or perhaps the other shippers are even worse.
    One of my recent shipments was evidently lost in a typhoon. But when I called Apple, a replacement was sent out immediately. This is more what I would expect of Apple, and you have every right to expect similar treatment.
    If FedEx delivered to the wrong address and got a wrong signature, they should be expected to go back and retrieve the package. But if they delivered to your address and did not get your signature, then you would be well within your rights to go to your local Better Business Bureau and file a complaint against FedEx. That might possibly get some action of some sort. FedEx cannot ignore the BBB as easily as they can ignore you. If your signature was actually forged, you will certainly be able to prove that the signature on the delivery ticket is definitely not yours. And you could forward the BBB complaint to Apple. I don't know if this would help or just muddy the water, but it would put a little more pressure on FedEx I would think.
    In the meantime, I would certainly speak to Apple Customer Relations and see if they can help you out here. They want happy Apple customers, and I think they would like to know about the extreme frustrations you are experiencing through no fault of your own.
    I sympathize with your problems, and I hope that you are able to get them resolved soon.
    Good luck!

  • Apple Customer Service - Where can you find it?

    Why can't you contact Apple support, the automated system ask a question then automatically gives you a bogus high call volume and hangs up on you. Frustrated, On the 12th I stayed up most of the night to pre-order, at 3am on the morning of the 12th the website was not available, I ordered a 6plus around 9:00am. The conformation said 1 to 2 week delivery, and I spent $1,000.00 for the 6 plus, when I went back to check the order status it now says 3 to 4 week delivery. Then I tried to contact Apple Customer Service "what a Joke" to see if I could expedite shipping, it is impossible to get someone to actually talk to you, when you follow the instructions of the voice automated system and provide the answers the system ask, it then says call volume is to high, I have done this three days in a row, and get the same message regardless the time of day. I ordered the 6 plus because my corporate team asked if they can switch from the droids. If this is what Apple calls Customer Service, I will think twice about ordering X,XXX plus phones. What happen to Apple, they use to be service oriented. If you can't speak to someone about issues, and needs, then the phrase CSR Customer Service is invalid, and does not exist my world. If I treated my customers this way, I would lose $500mm in business. What a hype, take the order, then change delivery several days later.

  • Congratulations Apple Customer Service!

    So, like a good little Steve Jobs acolyte, I sat around patiently waiting for the latest iPod Updater, vainly hoping that Apple would take the opportunity to fix a HIGHLY annoying bug that is exclusive to the iPod 5G software.
    Alas, I should have known better. While renowned for its ability to make beautiful, easy to use, dare i say life changing computers and computer peripherals, Apple is also infamous for its SUCKY customer service.
    I'm not talking about a wish list for touch screens, iPod phones, etc. I mean a bona fide problem with the software.
    In a nutshell, this weird glitch is as follows: if you have an artist with two songs, only one of which has album info in the tags, then when trying to browse your music by "Artist", ONLY THE SONG WITH ALBUM INFO SHOWS UP. The other song is there - you can get to it by browsing by "Songs". Not a big deal if you have only a 100 songs, but when you have thousands, with many that are single tracks with no album info, this presents a problem. A HUGELY annoying problem. I know from testing that the nano, mini and prior versions of the iPod do not have this problem. Only the 5G. Oh, careful internet searching reveals that others have this problem too, so it's not just my unit.
    Emails (note plural) to Apple customer service have gone unanswered. And whoever coined the term "Genius Bar" has a truly demented sense of humor.
    Again, congratulations to Apple for living up to their standards of mediocrity for customer care. You should be proud!!

    While I appreciate the spirit of this post, especially as my original post was admittedly snarky, I must point out...
    High customer satisfaction DOES NOT EQUAL good/great customer service.
    Customers should be satisfied with the iPod right out of the box - it's a great product. And Apple surely deserves the brand recognition - it has created something with deep cultural resonance. These are the items pointed out in your news release.
    But who are we kidding? How many customers had iPods that were expensive paperweights once their batteries died. Apple initially refused to replace these batteries, much to the chagrin of those users (I applaud Apple's decision to reverse course on this). There are other instances of poor customer SERVICE that I won't bother to point out.

  • Complete apple customer service incompetence

    Well, I'm not sure where to post a statement like this but here goes...
    At the beginning of September, I had ordered a new 15 inch macbook pro from apple with the quicker hardrive, which proceeded to arrive within the the next week (good job there). The problem came when the trackpad and keyboard started to sporadically cease responding (while external keyboards and mice would function just fine). Eventually they stopped working all together. This was within the first week of owning the computer. After taking it to the nearest apple authorized dealer/repair shop, the computer was diagnosed with an extremely rare bug/flaw. Apple decided to take the computer back and do an exchange. The problem was, in order to send the computer back, I still had to wait for the special fedex shipping labels from them to arrive. After about a week the labels had not yet arrived, so apple gave me the special numbers without the label to get the computer shipped out any way. After the computer started its trip, Apple, given the tracking numbers was going to expedite the replacement to get things done as quick as possible. Its now October first, a month later, and I still have no Macbook Pro (which was going to be my college computer). Now it turns out someone at Apple customer service screwed up and cancelled sending out the replacement upon also canceling the labels that wouldn't be needed. So now the new computer was supposedly given the order to get sent out today, how long will it take this time? By the way, those labels arrived just last week. So now they obviously have the messed up computer, and my money, but I still don't have anything (except $50 dollars put back on the credit card). When does this start getting called theft?
    I love Apple products, I've been using them my whole life, but this is the worst case of incompetence in the case of customer service that I've ever seen.

    check out my posts about the same issue in the macbook section. I ended up going to a macbook pro. feel free to email me for some serious comments!

  • Rate Apple customer service for me

    I'm a new user and finding Apple customer service very un-responsive to resolving a problem I had with an unrecognized charge to my account. Account has been disabled and I have no access while they "investigate." I have given new credit card but that isn't speeding things up. All for a $1.29 charge! I'm not impressed but stuck with them if I want to keep my iPhone! In general, is there usually satisfaction with Apple? Or is there general dissatisfaction with their customer svc responses?

    Apple has been rated #1 in customer service for a few years now.
    With millions of iTunes customers, ther are bound to be some that have issues.
    Usually they are pretty good about getting things sorted out. Respond to the previous email you received and give it 48 hours for a response.

    You did call/write your CC company and dispute this charge, correct?

  • Defective Batteries and Apple Customer Service

    I just spoke with Apple Customer Service today about the battery in My MBP 2.16CD, which is, according to them, defective. However, since it just recently became unable to hold a charge, and is 1 month out of warranty, they will not replace it. This is despite the fact that it only has 99 cycles on it, and will only hold a 1800mAh charge!
    I am very dissapointed that they would admit that the product is defective, but not offer any recompense. I know its out of warranty (by 1 month, it was a replacement battery) but it seems dodgy that they would refuse any sort of service. Has anyone had similar experiences? Is there any consumer legislation that can be brought to their attention?

    Hi,
    I have the same experience with a dodgy Customer Service. At a service point in my city they told me that they would repair the battery for free, but since i bought it at apple directly i should first asks permission via Customer Service. And after a 30 minute wait on a mobile phone they told me; out of warranty even though 70 loading cycles is not normal for a mac-book-pro battery. I send them a letter, but no response. They like to tell you that since its a battery, you can never claim more than the 1 year warranty; which i think is nonsense, since it is an advanced power device with its own set of chips en led indicators that happens to hold a battery. Anyway; very frustrating indeed to communicate with the boys and girls from Customer Service, and no positive result. It was my first experience with them [and i'm using apple since 1990!] and so far so bad.

  • I just want to share my experience or rather terrible experience with apple service.....I am soooo disappointed with the apple customer service at the local store in Tampa......every time they give u an appointment and make people wait for hours......ther

    I am soooo disappointed with the apple customer service at the local store in Tampa......every time they give u an appointment and make people wait for hours......there was some cosmetic problems with the screen of my Mac book pro....they replaced it but the computer would not turn on....and btw when I went to pick up my computer the representative handover my computer to another guy without checking his id who was there to pick up his phone.......then I had to take it back second time this time they messed up my iWork...I took it back but they couldn't retrieve my history of purchase of iWork...and then when I installed the iWork at home...none of the applications is working.... .I will have to take is back fourth time.....I loved apple products but may be not anymore.......

    Other than what Shotist007's remarks (which solves nothing) your experience is not common. First I would speak to the store manager to get things rectified for you. If that doesn't work out then I would contact AppleCare and speak to a customer service representative and complain via that venue.

  • Is there anyone who can help me to contact the apple customer service? Because i want to know why they are diducted mt credit card more than the amount which is written on there apple store price? They are taken more!

    Why the apple store taken more amount more than the amount written on their prices? Is there any one who can help me to contact the apple customer services. Thanks!

    Some country's might not include tax in their prices, and if you changed or added your credit card details whilst making the purchase then a small temporary holding charge may also have been placed - in which case that should disappear within a few days (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702). Some apps also then allow you to make in-app purchases (though you can disable that via Settings > General > Restrictions)

  • Need help contacting Apple customer service to order Leopard&mdash;if available

    For the last couple of days I have been unsuccessfully trying the various phone number for Apple customer service given on these board by several very helpful contributors.  I've also tried the numbers listed on the Apple web site.
    The recorded announcements say either that I have reached a texting number or a discontinued number that is no longer in service.
    Does anyone have a valid number?
    I need a leopard retail install disc for my G5 Quad and for my MDD Dual G4, just in case I should ever need Leopard.  I'm sticking with Tiger on my main boot volume, as I want occassional access to Classic.
    Thanks in advance.

    Great deal, do let us know!
    Well, well, well… I got the Leopard 10.5.6 install package from eBay-seller "Mac-Central" (link above).  This is what they do:  They take the "Mac Box Set Family Pack"—available, for instance at Amazon for $230 ( http://www.amazon.com/Mac-Box-Family-Pack-VERSION/dp/accessories/B001AMLQ6O )—which is a Mac software bundle consisting of three packages, the Leopard 10.5.6 install retail disc, iLife 09 and iWork09, and divide it into three separate items.
    What I got was the Leopard 10.5.6 install retail disc from that set.
    Of course, it does work on all my Macs, from the beige G3 tower with a Sonnet G4 processor upgrade, through my MDD Dual G4, the G5 Quad and the Intel MacBook.
    I suppose this is legal, and at least it serves my purposes.
    They include a one page note that says, in sum:
    "As advertised, this is a family pack.  This piece of software came out of a sealed Mac Box Set Family pack…
    "We guarantee that your software is a family pack and that you will get all 5 installs…
    "Also as advertised, Apple does not supply a serial number with this product.
    "If you… [want] to register… the product number on the outer retail box… MB998Z/A.
    "Thank you so much, the guys at Mac Central"
    So, that's what it is.  For US $135.99.

  • I was not given the option to purchase applecare + with iPhone 5.I tried calling Apple customer service, the automated process took my info but then came back and said too busy to help you now. How can I buy it now?

    I was not given the option to purchase applecare + with iPhone 5.I tried calling Apple customer service, the automated process took my info but then came back and said too busy to help you now. How can I buy it now?

    You should call Apple but you should get an email from Apple. I got one a few minutes ago and this is what they said about AppleCare+ :
    Thank you for your recent iPhone 5 purchase at the Apple Store.
    We would like to let you know that every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.
    We noticed you weren't given the opportunity to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone. If you would like to extend your coverage for only $99, please reply to this email by September 21st.
    After that date, if you would still like to purchase AppleCare+ within the first thirty days of receiving your iPhone, you can call AppleCare at 800-MY-IPHONE or visit an Apple Retail Store.
    Thank you for shopping with Apple.
    Sincerely,
    Apple Online Store Team

(i have backup of all the items on icloud), after deleting the account and making settings of mail, contact, calander etc on on mode and after rebooting the phone, it again download from icloud server. but it is just a headache. do not know how to handle this.
