Anyone know how to contact anyone in Verizon headquarters? Since I'm not getting anywhere with Customer Service

I'd like to express how unsatisfied we have been with Verizon on an issue that has been ongoing now since March 14, 2014. It involves an upgrade on one of our lines. After all these months, phone call with customer service, Tech support, and visits to a Verizon stores, I would hope that there are ample notation on our acct but since I've had to explain the situation on a bi-weekly time frame, I would assume that no one has documented any contacts.
We've been with Verizon for few yrs now and I have always been very satisfied with Verizon who, up until now , always provided excellent customer service in their knowledge, concern, and customer satisfaction. But I have to say, every positive outlook I've had with your company has been wiped clean with the worst service we have received in the last few months.
We upgraded my daughter's phone on 03-14-14 with a Samsung Galaxy Mini from an Iphone 4s. Within 24 hrs, the phone failed. After 2 visits to a Verizon store the next day which took 6 hrs, we still had to return the next day to speak to a manager. The 2 stores advised us to make a CLAIM on the defective phone thru our insurance plan with Verizon. A CLAIM on a 24 hr old phone!! A 3rd visit with a manager finally convinced him to replace the phone with another new phone at the store. Within 2 weeks - issues began to occur with the replacement phone. Several visits more, several calls more with Customer Service, several calls more with tech support which adds up to soooo many of our time taken up to simple have temporary "fixes" is outrageous. If I billed Verizon for my time, perhaps the situation would have been resolved more quickly. Each visit lasts approx 2 hrs, each phone call approx 1-1 1/2 hrs. We are talking at least 2x a month for the course of 5 1/2 months. Plus the time it takes to get the phone back to where she needs it - contacts, apps, internet.
Not once were we offered a new phone or replace the phone. Not until today. Replace the phone with the same phone that my daughter has grown to hate. So basically a 3rd phone - same phone. She is not interested in this phone any longer. She dealt with this phone model for far too long.
Today we were offered to replace the phone with same phone, or pay for a refurbished Iphone 4. So basically she would be going back to her original Iphone 4s before the upgraded WITH a cost. So her upgrade was wasted, we'd paid over $200 for a defective phone, and would need to pay for an even older model Iphone 4 and have to pay for it. Why wasn't she offered a different phone within those 30 days after the upgrade and 6 visits?
Every rep at the stores, every rep in tech support would provide a different reason for the issue. Finally, tech support advised not to download apps. WHAT GOOD IS A SMARTPHONE IF YOU CAN'T HAVE APPS??? We are talking about a 20 yrs college student who attends school in another state. Do you know the trouble she has to go thru to visit a store? To find 2 hrs between being a full time student with 2 jobs to sit on the phone with a tech support or go to a Verizon store? Once-ok Twice-maybe BUT for 5 months?
She's not eligible for an upgrade. She will be stuck with a phone that she had grown to hate. And I with customer service which I've grown to hate.
Finally, The Edge. Trying to find a way to make my daughter happy, I spoke with 4 representative today about the Edge. Each rep gave me 4 different information. 1st rep advised Edge phone could not be used on another line so I could not use a line eligible for the Edge and give that phone to my daughter since she isn't eligible for the Edge. 2nd rep advised that although new phone thru edge must be used by same number that it was eligible for, we could use the current phone o that line for my daughter. My son currently has an Iphone 5 and is eligible for the Edge early upgrade. He would not have to return his Iphone 5 so my daughter could use it. However, all the lines would have to go to the More Everything Plan and share the Data between all our phone lines. 3rd rep advised the cost would almost double from our current $358 to go to the More Everything Plan so suggested to have 2 accounts vs just 1. 4th rep advised not every line needs to go the More Everything Plan, we could not keep the current phone, and my daughter could get a replacement phone but same phone or made exception to offer the Edge early upgrade to my daughter but only after we go thru the replacement program because the phone we send to Verizon has to be in good working order/no defects.
After 5 1/2 months, it is now Verizon that is indicating that we have a defective phone and can't accept it thru the Edge program or we would get billed approx $299 for a defective phone. After 5 1/2 months of me calling in about a defective phone that not one rep replaced because they "fixed" the problem ( by the way, a temporary fix is not fixing, if it was fixed I would have made those calls today or writing this email), I am now being told her phone is defective. She advised to get a replacement phone first, return the old phone, activate the new phone, then call in to get the Edge early upgrade. So my daughter would have to do all this, plus add contacts back, apps and whatever else she needs to use her phone just to turn around a couple weeks later and do it all over again with the new phone thru the Edge program. Once again, we are the ones having to be inconvenienced and go thru all these steps. Did I mention she is going to be studying abroad in Italy beginning Nov? So the idea of having to wait 2-3 weeks for a new phone and having only a week or 2 to test the phone to make sure it's working properly before she's out of the country doesn't sound appealing to me. Verizon has made us have a defective phone for 5 months advising it's in good working order after each and every "fix" but Verizon will not accept that phone if returned in the same condition as a phone in good working condition. Do you see the irony in that?
I have reached my limit and after 5 yrs of my brother in law trying to convince us to switch to AT&T where he works in their Corporate Office, I can honestly say I will not be sad to leave Verizon. Especially when one of your reps simply provided me with the contract end dates to provide to AT&T because they offered to buy out our contract. No effort in customer retention what so ever. That was a phone call on Thursday.
And yes, one of your tech reps tried to convince me of all the hassle it would be to switch and time AT&T would take to buy out our contracts but honestly it was the pot calling the kettle. I am not in the position to discuss hassle and time after 5 months of getting that with Verizon. Did I mention it's my brother in law so we would be getting special treatment and no out of pocket expenses to switch. It was my loyalty and satisfaction with Verizon that has kept me from switching all these years. Something Verizon clearly does not appreciate.
So can you guess where I am with confidence that your customer service department is knowledgable about the plans/offers? Where I am that I can trust what I'm being told?
I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.

I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Best Buy should be ashamed of their lack of customer service.

On Saturday, 7-26-14, I attempted to file a claim on a cell phone warranty. In store I was notified that the policy was inactive, yet a second phone that was attached to the account was all active. I researched the cause of this and found my credit card was cancelled due to my bank discovering possible fraud. My wife called customer service in May, and after dealing with rude representatives, she was able to get both phone insurance policies reinstated.
When I called customer service today, after being hung up on twice, I was told that the policies were reinstated, but my wife failed to update the credit card information. I thought the error was on our part. My wife was able to find another email from Best Buy, that proved she updated the information. Conveniently however, Best Buy supervisor Mark was unable to find this proof email, but could find the earlier email. I find this highly unlikely.
Mark did reluctantly reinstate the policy, and told me I would have to go back to store to follow through with the claim. I notified Mark that due to the incompetence of Best Buy, and their insistence that I was the one that failed to update my policy, I threw the paperweight of a phone away. He then told me that I was out of luck, but referred me back to the store.
I understand the concept of "passing the buck" back to the store because that allows him to get off the phone with me. He also told me that my bank was the problem, yet I find it odd that the second phone on the account was current on payments. He also could not explain why, if it was my bank's fault, that no email was sent. Best Buy was quick to send an email when my credit card was cancelled due to fraud protection, but not this time?
Best Buy customer service gives people the run around, fails to live up to their obligations, and loses certain emails that show the costumer is correct. Best Buy also refuses to make their mistakes right or to even admit mistake on their behalf. I was told by Mark that he is in charge of the Customer service call center, so I obviously will not receive a reasonable resolution to this problem.
Best Buy has the absolute worst costumer service that I have ever dealt with. I will never conduct business with Best Buy again and I'll encourage every person that I come in contact with to do the same.

Hello molonlabe-
I’ve been fortunate enough to not have to need service on my cell phones to this point (knock on wood), but if I ever do, I hope that my experience doesn’t match yours. It certainly sounds like it was frustrating.
Generally, if we are unable to collect payment on a monthly Geek Squad Protection plan three months in a row, we should be sending out an email to whichever address we have on file instructing you to contact us about this issue. I’m sorry that this did not happen.
Usually, the email letting your know that your credit card information has been updated in an automated system email and Mark would not have visibility to that, though he should have been able to see when your wife called in and had the plans reinstated. I will definitely be documenting this feedback for training opportunities.
If you no longer have the phone, we would be unable to assist you, however, if the plans have been reinstated, you may still end up being charged each month if you did not have Mark cancel the plan. If you did not cancel that plan, I would recommend contacting us at 1-888-237-8289 for assistance with cancelling this to avoid any future issues.
Thanks for connecting with us; I do hope that at some point in the future, you will allow us another opportunity to earn your business.

Best Buy Customer Service

I ordinarily accept that companies will have less than adequate customer service, but my experience with Best Buy has been so bad, I actually decided to take the time to create a profile an write about it.
I ordered a front load washer as a christmas gift for my sister. I was forced to cancel the delivery as it was a surprise, because my niece and nephews school was cancelled and therefore my sister would be home ruining the suprise.
I rescheduled the delivery, and took off work so that I could be present to accept. When I did not receive a call giving me a time window as I had the 1st time it was supposed to be delivered, I called customer service for help. Customer service was anything but, and told me that it was set to rechedule in the system, and that they spoke with the warehouse and it was because they had not received delivery of the washer yet, so they could not deliver. I informed her that this was not possible as they previously had scheduled my washer for a delivery and it was me who cancelled after I had recieved the smaller delivery window. She advised that she "spoke to the warehouse and they don't have it, I don't know what to tell you." I insisted that she call them again, as they must be mistaken because it doesn't make sense that they would have the washer over a week ago and be able to give me a delivery window, and they now don't have it. She said "no, they deffinately don't have it, i just talked to her." I insisted that she call them again, and asked her if it was not possible that they made a mistake. She eventually relented and claimed to call the warehouse. She then said that they were closed, so she could could not give me any more information, and that I should call back tomorrow (the day it was supposed to be delivered). Eventually she admitted that she could see the same thing in the computer that the warehouse people could see, and there was no information about my washer. Basically she lied and said it was not delivered instead of provide me with the truth that they really didn't know what was up.
I called again the next day, waited on hold forever again, and eventually spoke to someone. This person said that they had the washer, but there was no way that they would be able to deliver that day, that the girl had made a mistake and didn't get it entered in for delivery correctly. This was frustrating because I took off work, and I am a contractor so I don't get paid if I don't work. They were able to get it scheduled for the next day, and told me they would be calling with a specific time instead of a window so I could meet them on my lunch break.
I only got an automated call, which said they would be there between 1 and 3 pm. A while after the call, I recieved an automated text message which said they would be there from 12 to 2. The next morning I called to find out if I would get my specific time, or at least what window was correct. I was on hold for nearly half an hour, and then on the phone for another hour after I spoke with someone, just to get the correct time, and for them to tell me I would not get my specific time. They said that the 12-2 window was correct. I was getting ready to leave work, and the delivery guys called and said they were going to be there 30 mins early. I of course couldn't make it early, but they accommodated me.
The delivery guys were very friendly and courteous. They called me onto the truck to show me that my washer had been damaged by a forklift in the warehouse. the cardboard was damaged, the inner packing styrofoam smashed, and there was a dent on the washer. They asked me if I wanted for them to still deliver, and told me I should call customer service and let them know it was dented. I advised to deliver, mainly because I was scared I would not be able to get another one before christmas, and it was a washing machine so a dent would not be the end of the world, even though it was a gift. Nonetheless I was paying over 600 dollars for a new washer, and you expect no dents.
I called customer service and Holly said that they could come and remove it, or they could offer me a 10% discount if I wanted to keep it. I agreed to the 10% discount. I was then told that she could not process the discount because the computer still said "in transit" and that I would need to call back the next day and give them a service number she gave me, and then they could give me my discount. I attempted calling the next couple days and the got a message that they were experiencing high call volume to call back at a different time, and on Monday I was on hold for 30 mins and never able to talk to a person.
Tonight the computer system offered to call me back, so I did that, and eventially spoke with customer service when they called back. I was put on hold many times and eventially spoke with a customer service person in the appliance department. I am pretty sure this was the same customer service person that lied to me on thursday, based on her voice. She told me that they could see that I was told that I would receive the 10% discount, but that the individual did not put who authorized the discount into the notes, and the warehouse was closed and they were the only ones that would be able to authorize the discount, that I needed to call back the next day. This was after being on the phone for one hour and 20 mins. I asked why I needed to call back, why could they not just process my discount, and she said that was the only way I was getting my discount. I asked why they could not call me, and she said "we do not call people."
Eventially I realized I was getting nowhere. This is simply the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I will have to call again tomorrow, wait on hold again, probably just to get the runaround. I do not know how they manage to stay in business. Very disappointed.

Hello neveragain30,
Thank you for sharing your feedback here on the forum. I'm sorry for the delay in replying to your post. I was honestly speechless for a moment after I read about your delivery experience. It is very generous of you to have purchased a washer for Christmas for your sister, and I am so very sorry if we offered you such a poor delivery experience. I assure you this is not the level of service we expect our delivery team to offer our customers.
Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate the order, and confirmed that they applied the discount as promised. I do appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention here at the corporate office. I assure you I will be documenting your comments for further employee training as we clearly have an opportunity here for improvement. I also have some information I would like to share with you so I will be sending you a private message. To view your messages, please make sure you are logged into the forum, and click on the envelope in the top right hand corner.
Again, I truly apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and keep an eye out for that message coming your way.
Sincerely,

Customer Service/Shipping Woes

Just got off the phone with Best Buy customer service (had to call 3 times, total time on phone was well over an hour).
I ordered an item which shipped on 10/16/2014 via UPS. Expected delivery date was 10/24/2014. On 10/27/2014, I contacted UPS to see what was up. They told me that Best Buy shipped it via a service called "Sure Post", which means that at some point UPS handed the package over to the US Postal Service. I was given a USPS new tracking number, which I checked at USPS -- which said that my package was delivered in Houston, Texas. The problem is that I am in California! So after explaining this to the customer service rep (who put me on hold and forgot about me), I was finally told that a replacement item would be expressed shipped to me a no charge. After this 45+ minute phone call I hung up.
A minute later, I got an alert from my credit card company that a $19.99 charge was just made to my card from Best Buy! Upon checking it appears that Best Buy an immediate charge on my account to pay for the shipping (not what the customer service rep promised). So I immedately get back on the phone to try to get this straightened out -- I explain the situation to the next customer service rep, and she tries to transfer me back to the original rep who placed the replacement order -- call went on hold (about 10 minutes), then the line dropped. Frustrated, I call again and speak with a different rep, who transferred me to the shipping(?) department. I was told that the original rep had made a mistake and they couldn't remove the $19.99 shipping charge. I was told that a $19.99 credit would be put on the original order to make up for this. So...15 minutes later, I was done and went to check on my account. I see a credit of $19.99 as "Digital Dollar Credit" (or something like that), but I'm skeptical as to what the really means as the $19.99 is still pending on my credit card.
A really frustrating experience. The item I originally ordered was only $69, too....really not worth the time that I had to spend on the phone to resolve this (of course, I'm assuming that it will be eventually resolved when I actually get the replacement product).

Hello jerryaqua-
If you are like me, you hate waiting for your orders to arrive. I’m constantly checking the status of the order to see when it ships and when it’s due to show up. I know I would be alarmed to see my order was going to another state entirely!
It’s also concerning that you were told the shipping fee would be waived on your re-ship, only to see that charge appear on your credit card. In looking over your order, I can confirm what you were told, in that the shipping fee was charged, but they did apply a credit back for the $19.99 back to your account (which would generally appear as what you described, each bank usually listed these differently).
From what I can see, it looks like your product arrived yesterday, so I hope you received it and are currently enjoying it! We have documented the issues that you encountered here for review by our BestBuy.com management staff and I absolutely apologize for any inconvenience that it caused you.
I hope that this will not impact your desire to order again with us in the future!
Sincerely,

Bought new, discovered it was tampered with or refurbished, now at a loss with horrible customer service and dead phone

I'm wondering where to go after 2 weeks playing CS phone tag, started with a tech call reguarding Iphone 5, battery issue, tech ran test, batt is consumed, went thru warranty talk then to Apple, as to our surprise once the serial number was ran , I purchased a bran new refurbished and battery previously swapped out phone thru our corporate Ver store, warranty is invalid and new batt was 80$, Apple tech was shocked... I let that settle for a few days, and began the worst ordeal and crap show of customer service since, I've made numerous calls, 1st being with christopher, whom claimed he talked with his supervisor and I was patient, talked about that they wouldn't swap battery, but replace phone with a refurb phone, contract is up 2/03/2015 , exlplained it would be less hassle and givin the time frame to renew contract and do the upgrade now, pay the upgrade cost and whatever, we are good customers , never file claims, or issues with contracts, seems simples, I've now talked to approx 5 supervisors from ID, ky, al and whom have alllllll confrimed they have taken notes, processed requests and will call back in such time, as of 4pm dec 7th I am no where fast, contract can not be upgraded, one supervisor claimed they where no longer making the iPhone 5? And would allow for a upgrade once she talked to tech service, however a magical cold transfer and 40 more minutes of retelling this insaine story, he was then going call back on a dif number so the issue ph could be used, never got the call, however Matt in ID WHO claimed such sympathy for all the hassle then texted me saying he couldn't get thru on my number, however could text, and by a tech texting myself , such poor grammar and then stating we could only have the 5 and 6+ 's are on back order. Beyond fed up and stressed, almost 6 hours on the phone and 10 days of hassle , yet we still have a phone that dies at 70% ....I've never seen such a lack of responsibly or communication , seems supervisors are really good at making statements to appease each situation with out any documentation . Can't bring myself to call again and go thru the issue over and over again, meanwhile getting same responses (excuses) from every area I've spoke to. Guess now when I purchase Verizon items I call good Ol Apple and run the serial numbers to make sure the fancy kindalooksnewplastic isn't the 2nd re wrap and buy a phone that's been tampered with and makes your monthly insurance and warrantys invalid . Money well spent kudos CS ...and no I'm not hunting down anyone via Twitter , I'm sure there's notes on our account that this crazy person is out of patience and trying to see what other cell company we could change to . Merry Christmas

To clarify , we haven't serviced nor replaced the consumed battery . It has been noted as per Apple running the serial number that PRIOR to my purchasing the device, it had the battery replaced. Undocumented in detail, but showed up in Apple reports as replaced. Therefor creates a much wider issue than consumed battery issue, now we have the fact that 1. I paid for a new iPhone 5 16g with a renewed 2 yr contract, pay monthly for insurance on the device, however being that it has been worked on, that voided the 1 yr warranty and possibly the extended insurance program warranty as well, my corperate store can't handle this issue, given the extent of details, I stopped there today, to double check my receipt for original purchase to see if there was a CPO listed on my receipt, that is when they informed me they didn't acttially sell them there, nor if I did I wouldn't have paid full contract price either. More details, more time wasted on Verizon, knowing you all won't read the "fine" print.

Poor Managment / Customer Service Complaint

After recently purchasing a high end car stereo / GPS unit from the store located in the highlands (Store 167) and having spent the time and extra money to have the unit installed.
Having to returning due to issues with the unit not working to find that the manager of the store felt it was ok to shut down the installation department and give everyone the day off.
Granted this is friday the 4th of July but on a heavily advertised sales event day and potential increased revenues with a large portion of the general public either off or getting off early lnowingly making a decision to cost your store, company and brand sales and on top of that present themselves with a high school attitude to justify poor decisoin making skills it beyond comprehention. Having a department with only two employees knowing one was on vacation to make a decision to close the doors on a holiday weekend to be best buy buddies with his staff over customer service and sales is unjustifyable by any means. Offering to show me the installers schedule he had written was to say the least a poor move being that as a customer and have expectations at the least of a person chosen to be a manager is high school at best.
In this day and age where competition is key and standing out as a brand allowing a manager to knowingly loose revenue for a store is not a manager I or the company I work for would even consider having as an employee. I was recomended to this particular store by a personal friend as well as another employee of Best Buy to be greeted by this type of service and reaction of a member of managment is reprehensable. Not even offering to or being bothered to break up his group of buddies to find out how he could be of assistance or find a resolution acting as though I the customer was inconviencing him and intereupting when approached.
Knowing that Best Buy itself has suffered in customer service in the eyes of most having managment adding to the problem and costing the company not only sales but customers who would return to make future purchases will lead to the backlash from the public that shuttered even the best of corparations.

Good afternoon roger404,
Welcome to the forum. I want to first thank you for choosing Best Buy to purchase and install your car stereo and GPS system. I know it is no small investment, and I would be very frustrated if it starting having issues just after 4 months of having purchased it. I can understand your surprise, and disappointment when you arrived at the Highlands store to have it repaired, and was told the installation department was closed for the day. It sounds like the manager was not very sympathetic to the issues you are having, and I sincerely apologize for this aggravating experience.
As it was mentioned previously here, there might not have been any appointments scheduled for the day, which could've been why it was closed. For future reference, to avoid any frustrations, I recommend contacting the store beforehand to make sure someone is available, and they are expecting you.That being said, there is no excuse for any of our employees, including the manager, to be rude and offer you a poor customer service experience. I appreciate it very much that you took the time to post your feedback, and I assure you I will be documenting your comments for further training opportunities.
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I'm sure once it is open again, they will be happy to assist you, otherwise please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,

Filing a customer service complaint

I have been calling Verizon since December, first to prevent an equipment return charge by providing proof of delivery then - after being charged for the device (which should not have happened since Verizon had the returned phone for a good month and a half) and numerous reps telling me various conflicting information as to when I can expect a credit to my bill, no response. I had documented my conversations with each rep and had this matter escalated to a supervisor. Unfortunately, this supervisor is unwilling to check on the matter saying it is "too early" since the ticket submission - fortunately I have this in an email. My first ticket was submitted on 2/12/15 and I have gotten my 2nd bill with this equipment charge with late fees associated with it.
I want to file a complaint and have this matter corrected since it has been going on since December. Furthermore, given my past several conversations with customer service reps, I am not confident this will be addressed by this supervisor especially in light of how this can affect my service and/or credit at a later date. I want Verizon to deal with this and am making one last effort to contact Verizon and an appropriate manager before going through other means. Any insight to direct me to an effective manager who will listen and fix this problem?

Losing you is not something we want to happen, royalpei. Rudeness is not acceptable and I apologize for this experience. I regret learning that your husband wishes to use your previous iPhone with a different carrier.

Can we trust customer service?

Hopefully someone from VZW can help me, otherwise this will be another complaint against VZW.
When I had purchased a new phone (outside VZW), I had contacted VZW customer service to inquire about waiving my activation/upgrade fee of $30. When I talked to the rep, I mentioned that I have been a subscriber for well over 10 years and was wondering if they could help. Well, he said thank you for being a long time customer and said that he can help with that. At the time, he told me that it shoudl be no problem and that that they also had a promo around Christmas time that it would be waived. How it was communicated to me was the the fee could waived when I activated. I had asked the rep to note it my accocunt and call history and he said OK.
Well, not that I get my bill, I saw the $30 charge (along with the taxes and surcharges associated with this $30). I was called customer service and also talked to a supervisor and they were not able to waive the charge. Apparently, the first rep I talked to around Christmas time noted it on my account that it would only be waived if I activated by 12/24....it was communicated differently to me. I activated that phone 12/27.
I'm just very disappointed that there is no other avenue for someone to help, especially since I have been pretty loyal to VZW. I'm also disappointed that they did away with the email inquiry and support (I used to email them and they would get back to me right away and with very favorable resolution)...there was a time when their support did help me and did take into account my loyalty and all my on-time payments. I have 5 lines on a family plan and slowly, I am adding data to each line (not all of them have it...yet).
But if this is the model that VZW is heading (or already there), it doesn't make any difference which company to go to. Just go with the cheapest company, i suppose. For me, I can afford to since I live in an area that has coverage from the major cell providers.
Verizon, if you can help, feel free to respond to this to see what you can do. It's not like I am always disputing this or that....just been paying my bills on time. I have no problem paying for things that I signed up for, but the fact that the customer rep said one thing and "gave the impression" that the fee would be waived, I feel disappointed and not given accurate information.
Thanks for hearing the rant.

I get what you're saying, and I understand that I will have to pay the fee, but the fact that I called specifically asking if it could be done and was told explicitly that they could waive it. Also told me that he couldn't waive it unless it was charged already (which I have not activated yet). Now, you can argue that this isn't part of the contract...but the fact that I called specifically asking about it and the representative told me "yes" and that it shouldn't be a problem. After he said that, he also checked on promotions and said that they are waived it until the 24th. I asked him to make sure to document our conversation, which he complied, but I guess he only documented half the conversation.
So I guess what you're saying is that the customer service representatives don't necessarily have to give accurate information? He had time to find out...I was on hold when he went to ask about it. This misinformation is a reflection on Verizon as a company. I suppose that's the problem with customer service these days and with a lot of these large companies.
It never hurts to ask for anything, but if he had said at first that they couldn't do it and it would only be waived during a certain period, I would have activated by then. But I told him my intent on activating right after Christmas....the rep told me that he documented our conversation and it should not be a problem.
I've had times where my phone inadvertently used data (before data plans became the norm) and a simple call to customer service took care of those charges, which was a "bend" from the contract.
As for entitlements....sometimes it's good to have it. Do they have to? Of course not....but could they? They could to keep business. I routinely give my business to the companies that have treated me well...even given me perks (hotels, car rental, restaurants, etc).
Contract does not excuse being okay to give out wrong information.

The Worst Customer Service of My Life and Why I Will Never Shop at Best Buy Again

This afternoon I decided I wanted to buy a Playstation 4. I discovered, while browsing Best Buy's website, an offer to trade in a PS3 Slim and controllers for $100 +$10 per controller. I took in the console, three controllers, and two games valued at $12 and $5 respectively for a total of $147 in trade in value. I knew what I was supposed to be getting when I walked in the door.
So I enter store #1155 (Charlotte-Northlake) with the intention of trading in my PS3 and accessories, for a PS4 Destiny bundle. A very simple transaction, that could have easily been handled quickly (and was later handled quickly and painlessly by GameStop). I approach the desk and encounter this lethargic looking automaton named Ashlyn. Or something like that. I explain to her what I want to do, and how much I expect to get out of the trade in. She says "Well, you'll get whatever comes up on the thingy". So I set my console, 3 controllers, 3 cords (HDMI, power, controller), and two games on the counter next to the thingy (computer) and she proceeds to test to see if the console works. She incompetently moves the device and power cord over to the plug in station/screen to see if it works. After much confusion over which plug goes in what hole (I literally watched her try to plug the power cord into the HDMI slot), they stand around trying to turn on the controllers and connect them to the console. She finally discovers she needs the controller cord and asks me for it. I look on the counter to discover that it is no longer there. So I run out to the car to see if it's there, and it isn't. I come back in, and ask her if maybe she dropped it when she picked up the power cord, and she looks at someone else and says in her best impression of an incredibly rude person, "He only brought in two cords". I told her to look on the floor, and of course she found it. So they plug everything in, everything works, great. Now punch in whatever it is you punch in on the thingy and give me my PS4. Nope. Now she has to spend 20 minutes sighing and shaking her head at the computer while repeatedly asking me if my PS3 slim "is 500 GB" to which I respond, literally every time, yes. Eventually she gets help from a distracted eastern european co-worker who asks me "How much is it?" and I say "100" to which Ashlyn replies in another fantastic impression of a terrible customer service worker "He told me it was 500". I clarified that I meant $100 and 500 GB and they proceed to shake their heads and sigh at the screen as they fail to understand what I can only assume were heiroglyphics. So at this point Ashlyn has called me a liar twice, and has not once made eye contact with me, or attempted even the most basic customer service. She finally comes to the price of $117 dollars which I say "That's not right, did you get the controllers?" Naturally she did not. But also neither of them knew how to use the heiroglyphic thingy in front of them, so finally they said "Well, we can't do it in our system, so you'll have to take $117". I said no, took my stuff, and walked out. Ashlyn is a terrible customer service "specialist" and should be quickly fired.
Part 2:
So shaking and fuming I walk out the door to my car with my console and accessories in tow, and decide to call the other Best Buy near me at Concord Mills (Store #268). So I call, explain what I went through, and the girl on the other end of the line says "Oh, some people just don't know where to find the the right thing to do it" and said I could come down there and get it taken care of. So I head down to Concord Mills with hopes of finally making my simple transaction. I get there, tell the girl at the desk what happened, she more or less ignored me, and said she had to take it in the back and test it. Fine, do your thing. She comes back, and says "Where did you see the hundred dollar thing?" so I look it up, and WHILE I'm looking it up she says "I know what deal you're talking about, but I can only give you $40 dollars because this is in poor condition" once again in what I can only assume is corporate standard "Terrible Customer Service Rep Tone". I told her that a console is still in good condition if nothing is broken and it works perfectly, and that a few scratches don't mean "poor condition", this isn't a disc. She says "I'm not marking this as good condition, all I'll give you is $40." so I angrily picked up my stuff, and walked over to the GameStop in the nearby mall. Told him what happened, he took the console, checked that it worked, gave me $140 for everything, I paid the difference for a PS4 and they sent me on my way. 15 minutes. 2 hours of rude customer service reps at Best Buy sent me to GameStop, and I will honestly never set foot in Best Buy again.
So that's my story.

Hello puckettsd,
My younger brother got his hands on his own PlayStation 4 a few months ago, and ever since then, I don’t think he’s talked about anything else. In fact, whenever I go to my parents’ house for a visit, I can always hear him discussing game strategy with his friends through his headset. While I’m not much of a gamer myself, I certainly understand the PS4’s appeal, so I can see why you were excited to take advantage of our Sony PS3 Slim Trade-In offer and trade up to the new console. It’s disappointing to hear that your visit didn’t go as smoothly as planned though, and I’m sorry for any frustration this caused while you tried to figure this out on your own.
With any trade-in offer, we should always be assessing the item in question to determine its condition. This is done to make sure you are getting the best offer possible. An item may fall under in four categories - Good, Fair, Poor and Substantially Impaired/Not Working (see here for descriptions). As Ashlyn wanted to figure out which category your PS3 Slim fell under, she took the time to see if your console powered on and made sure your controllers worked properly. This doesn’t explain why she may have had difficulties adding on your controllers to the promotion though. If an associate isn’t sure about how to do something within our systems, they should be asking a member of leadership for guidance. I’m sorry if oversight caused you to leave the store unsatisfied.
Having said this, I appreciate it that you were willing to provide us a second chance and visited our Concord Mills store. I can understand your frustration though if this store didn’t feel that your console met the terms of the promotion and therefore didn’t meet minimum $100.00 offer. In the terms and conditions of the trade-in offer, we do state that the console must be in good condition to qualify. I truly apologize for this discrepancy. Regardless, I’m glad to hear that you were able to trade in your PS3 Slim for a new PS4 console, even if it wasn’t through us.
Experiences like the one you describe are never ones we like to hear, but thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to let us know about it. As a company, we realize there may be areas in need of improvement, and without feedback like yours, we wouldn’t be able to identify them properly to promote better service. Please know that I have documented your concerns as this a great opportunity for the store to learn from, and it is my hope that you give us a second chance in the near future.
Respectfully,
Alex|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Horrible customer service, how do you stay in business?

Your internet sales team fraudulently induced me into signing contracts worth $1200 for new smartphones by promising me free data for which I was apparently not eligible. This is completely documented in a chat transcript and I believe this was purposeful. After walking me through the upgrade process, the internet sales person told me I had to 'combine' orders into the one share plan by calling customer service. Not one of the five people I talked to after that had any idea what he was talking about in regards to 'combining' my orders. Not one. I think he fraudulently induced me into contracts worth $1200 and then passed me off to someone else who would deliver the bad news in the hopes they could convince me to accept a lesser deal. This is called bait and switch.
This is my story:
As a 10-year customer of Verizon, I was looking to upgrade my phones and account into the new Edge program. Our two lines always use less than 2Gs of data per month. I priced AT&T's NEXT plan and received an emailed confirmation from them that the monthly payments for the LG G3 and the Samsung Galaxy 5 PLUS unlimited minutes and texting with 2Gs of data would be $134.45 plus tax. I approached the online sales staff with this information and asked what Verizon could do for me. "Dencil" initially stated the same plan would cost me $169 and some change at Verizon.
"Dencil" told me via chat that to meet AT&T's price, I could upgrade to Edge, sign up for the 250MB plan and receive 1 free Gig of data per new smartphone purchased for 24 months. It will give me the price to basically match AT&Ts offer and my necessary 2Gs of data.
"Dencil" walked me through upgrading my phones. The website will only allow you to upgrade one phone to Edge at a time and you have to checkout each time (I expect this is related to the financing contract required per phone). "Dencil" told me that I would have to call customer service to get the lines 'combined' again into the share plan. He said customer service would make sure I received my 2 gigs of free data as he had no direct access to my account. This is all documented in the chat transcript.
When I finally reached customer service, I spent two hours, was transferred four times and spoke to five people. No one had any idea why the lines needed "combined." The first customer service rep transferred me to sales without telling me. Sales informed me they did not know anything about the free 2G promotion at all (I found this particularly surprising since there is a banner advertising it on your website, but I digress) and they could not help me. I was then transferred back to customer service.
When the customer service rep picked up, I explained my issues and asked to be escalated. He didn't do that, put me on hold for about 20 minutes and even though I explained that sales already told me they could not help me, he never came back and then went ahead and transferred me back to sales without warning. I have no idea what he was doing for 20 minutes.
The sale person I talked to this time also had no idea about the free 2G promotion and suggested I get back in touch with my original sales person, "Dencil". I had already explained it was an internet chat. I asked him how he would suggest I find "Dencil". The sales rep got very rude with me explaining that this was not his job and his job was... I cut him off and asked him to transfer me to someone who could help. Back to customer service I went. At this point, I was then disconnected. The disconnection was likely my fault as in my frustration I began punching as many numbers as possible just to get to a person.
After calling back, I spoke with a very nice lady who did escalate me as requested. The customer service supervisor informed me that my new account did not need to be 'combined' and she didn't understand what "Dencil" meant. She also told me the free 1 G per smart phone did not apply to the 250 MB plan. I explained that I was promised this and there is record proof. The customer service supervisor basically told me I was out of luck. She offered to upgrade me to the 1 G and then provide me a credit for another Gig for 1 year. That wasn't a comparable offer by half.
When I explained the deal I was offered by AT&T, she stopped just short of calling me a liar. The difference in plans is almost $30 (as quoted in the chat by "Dencil"). She told me Verizon would never allow their chief competitor to be that much cheaper and that she "keeps up on these things." I offered to send her my AT&T documentation confirming it and she declined. I then went over each charge explaining the differences. She thought she was going to show me how the costs were actually the same between the plans, but she never completed that action. I expect it was because she realized that's not true.
Throughout my conversation with the supervisor, I asked that my phone orders be cancelled and that my account be returned to its original status. She finally told me she complied and my order was cancelled. Lo and behold, about 18 hours later, one of the phones SHIPPED. I contacted customer service and they told that "oops, one of the phones slipped through, no worries, I could just refuse delivery." Okay, fine, but then an hour later, the SECOND phone SHIPPED. That one must have 'slipped' through also.

The lies that customer services reps tell you.

My horrible experience with Verizon customer service today, 3 different representatives completely lied to me and told me 3 different instructions on how to get the new iPhone 6 plus which resulted in me losing my whole day for nothing. Only to have a Verizon customer service supervisor tell me that there was no records of any of my conversations with any of these customer service reps. Needless to say as a customer I am so unhappy with the way I have been treated and lied to that I don’t even feel safe keeping my service with Verizon. I am afraid and that the next time I call with a question I now have no trust in anything that a Verizon customer service rep tells me. Read the below for details in my awful and exhausting expertise with Verizon today.
Today I went down to the Apple store to edge up my phone to the new iPhone 6 Plus. If you are told that you can do this as well think again. I know Apple has restricted when the new phones are available for the cell phone providers but they should have thought of a way for customers to more easily get phones through the Apple store since they don’t have it. To start this story off I had pre ordered the new iPhone 6 plus back in the beginning of September which I was going to have it shipped to the address I was living at. The pre order was not going to make it to me until October 28. Well last week I had to move and needed to change my shipping address. So when I called Verizon they said that they would have to cancel my order and re do it all over again in order to change the address, this sent my shipping date of the pre order back to October 31. I then asked if I were to find the phone at the Apple store sooner could I cancel this order and get it there. I was told that I would be able to go into the Apple store and get the phone if they got it in stock before I received my pre order. This morning I attempted to do exactly that. I called the Apple store to see if they had the iPhone 6 Plus in stock and they did, which has been hard to find lately. I then proceeded and called Verizon to cancel my pre order and ask about how I would go about getting my phone at Apple. The person I talked to said that when I got to the Apple store and got my phone and before I paid all I need to do was call Verizon back and that they would work out a way to pay my remaining balance on my edge phone. I then drove 20 miles to the Apple store and did what I was told and called Verizon when I got there, they said that what the other person from Verizon said was not true. This new person told me what I had to do now was go to the Verizon store and pay my remaining balance and turn my phone in. Then I would be able to go back to Apple and get the new phone and keep my edge plan. At this point from talking to many people with Verizon and having to re explain what I was try to do, I asked this guy to put a note in my account of what he told me. This way when I got to the store they would know what I was trying to do. So I drove 5 miles back from where I came and got to the Verizon store, not a dealer the actual store, and talked to a sales associate who then told me there wasn’t a way for them to do what the guy on the phone said they could do. I was told by this sales associate and a manager that their system would only let me pay my remaining balance singularity, that the only way their system would let me pay my remaining balance to edge up was if I was getting the phone through them at the Verizon store. This didn’t make any since to me because I was still getting my plan though Verizon just not through that particular store. I began to get a little upset and told the sales associate to call Verizon and ask them what to do because every person I talked to on the phone though Verizon told me that I would be able to get my phone at Apple and edge up. They didn’t call at first instead they kept trying to get it to work though their system. The manager then told me again that they couldn’t do it and I insisted that they call Verizon and figure this out because I have driven so far and canceled my pre order to trade in my phone and now I am being told I cant. The manager then walked away and told his sales associate to call them. After waiting another 20 minutes for Verizon to answer the two associates talked about what I was trying to do and this new person on the phone wanted to talk to me. She made me explain my story all over again what I was told and a what I was trying to do and she said that what the people at Verizon store said was true and that they don’t know what the other people were talking about and that I can’t pay my remaining balance on my phone do I could edge up and get my phone at the Apple store. I told her then why has everyone been telling me I can, she said I don’t know, I told her that wasn’t good enough. By this time I was really upset and started to raise my voice a little bit. I have worked in the customer service industry for over 10 years and I know that when a customer is yelling at you it’s a bit unnerving. So I kept my cool as much as I could and didn’t swear or anything. I merely made my point that this wasn’t right and that I felt much abused as a customer. There is no reason why I should be lied to by more than one person, if I would have known that I couldn’t at first then I would have been just fine waiting until the end of October to get my pre order. Though I got so excited that the Apple store had the phone that I wanted and that Verizon told me I would be able to go down there and get it and then I rushed through my job, skipped lunch and canceled an appointment to do this just to find out I was lied to and sent on a wild goose chase, this just wasn’t right. While I had the latest person on the phone I asked if my calls have been recorded and noted to see if there was any documentation as to what I have been told and she said no there wasn’t, I told her that this was unacceptable from a customer service stand point. So I left the Verizon store really unhappy, upset and empty handed. The impression I got from both the sales associate from the store and this new person on the phone was that they wanted to make sure that the money I would pay for the phone went to them and not someone else. Which is poor customer services ethics. Also I lost my place in line for the pre order and would probably have to wait even longer to get it. So now I am beating if I should just cancel my line and get the phone through a different provider that won’t send me through the ringer when I call customer service.

I had the same exact thing happen to me. I can't believe the lies these customer service people are told to tell yiu

Disappointment with Apple customer service's response to my iMac G5 issues

The following is a copy of the letter that I will be sending to Apple in regards to my recent dealings with customer service. What do you guys think I should do?
To whom it may concern:
Let me begin by saying that I have been a loyal and avid fan of the Mac since 1999. I have converted several of my PC friends to the Mac, and I would consider myself to be the quintessential Mac "geek" (posters, T-shirts, you name it). I have owned a Macintosh LC 575, Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) and Power Mac G4 Cube, in addition to my current machine, an iMac G5. However, my recent experiences with Apple customer support have left me thinking that maybe the Mac way is not the smooth, customer-first experience that I thought it was.
As I mentioned, I currently am using an iMac G5 (rev. A, 20" 1.8 GHz). Unfortunately, the iMac was a victim of the well-documented power supply issue (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/re...ensionprogram/) several months back. The power supply would heat up to such high temperatures that it eventually burned out, and I could not power on the machine. I brought it in to my local Apple Store (Oakbrook, IL), whereupon they wrote up a repair order, and I had my Mac back within 4 days, all without paying a penny. "Wow, excellent no-hassle service," I thought, and rightfully so.
Over the last couple of months, my iMac has further developed a couple of smaller, but still annoying and "not-very-Apple-like" issues. First, the fans have developed a consistent, cricket-like squeak - that is, you can hear the fans turning, sort of like an old wheel that needs oil. In my quiet office, it is VERY obvious, and is especially distressing when I'm trying to do audio and MIDI work. The second issue is that the slot-loading Superdrive has gotten to the point where discs that are being ejected often fly out of the slot and do not stop, falling onto the top of my desk, or occasionally clear off the desk onto the floor.
A few days ago, I decided that I had had enough with both issues, and decided to initiate a chat with a support agent on Apple's iMac support web page. After explaining the issues to the agent, I was transferred to a "specialist," to whom I then had to re-explain the issues. Further irritating me was the fact that they provided me no solution other than to visit my local Apple Store, and they would further diagnose the system.
So tonight I headed over to the Apple Store Oakbrook with the iMac in tow (mind you, not the lightest thing to be carrying around, and a pain to have to disconnect peripherals etc.). I had made an appointment prior to showing up...in fact, Apple's new Concierge system seemed very elegant and user-friendly, and I was able to make a 7:20pm appointment at around 2:30pm. I made it to the Apple Store at about 6:50pm, and saw my name listed on the Genius Bar screens as being 2nd in line. There was a man with a 15" PowerBook that was being helped by the Genius behind the bar, so I sat and waited patiently. About 40 minutes into my wait, a woman with an iPod mini walked up to the bar, seemingly waiting for assistance. Within two minutes, another Apple employee approached her, briefly looked at me and asked if I was waiting for help. When I said I needed assistance with my iMac, he told me that I would have to wait for the next Genius, turned to the woman with the iPod mini and proceeded to diagnose her problem.
Further irritated, I waited another 10 minutes or so, at which point the same employee turned his attention to me. I explained the fan and Superdrive issues to him, and he took the iMac to the back room for another employee to take a look at it. About 10 minutes later, he came back out with the iMac and said something to me that just floored me. He told me that his colleague that looked at it could not find anything inherently wrong with the fans, and that "since it's not a Pro desktop, there are bound to be squeaks in the fan system" (almost verbatim what he said). He said that they cleaned the fans, and tightened the eject mechanism in the Superdrive, and that if I continue to have issues with it to bring it back in and they will further diagnose it.
The message I have taken from this experience is two-fold. First, Apple has officially gone from being a computer company to a consumer electronics company. The fact that I literally was skipped over after waiting 40 minutes and pushed aside for an iPod user who had waited TWO minutes and was not in the Genius Bar queue shows that Apple's priorities have shifted. Secondly, Apple does not truly back the quality and craftsmanship on which they pride themselves. Just because I do not own a "Pro desktop," that should not mean that a squeaky fan system is an acceptable situation. I bought an $1,800 computer that was advertised as "whisper-quiet" and I should not have to pay $3,000+ just to be reassured that I will be taken care of. I expect excuses and glancing over of issues by companies like Dell that make cheap bare-bones systems. I do not expect that from Apple - if Apple is going to hold themselves to a higher standard, they should back up that talk with true customer-first service.
So I am now sitting in front of my rickety-sounding iMac, wondering what my next step should be. I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and I would further appreciate a follow-up and resolution to this situation.
Thoughts?

Send it. I feel for you, but the most sympathy you'll get is from fellow users on this board. These forums were one of the best ideas by Apple. Whoever thought it up is probably getting 1% of iPod sales as commission. Besides users helping users so Apple doesn't have to handle nearly as much tech support directly, this board is also a place for people to vent so Apple doesn't have to address your concerns. I'm not saying these boards are a bad thing ... they are very helpful, but you have better odds at winning the lottery grand prize than you do to get a reply back from Apple from a letter like this.

HORRIFIC Customer Service and Dishonest Business Practices

After well over a decade of service with Verizon Wireless and having 6 active lines with them, Verizon has not only lost my business, I will do everything within my power to convince everyone I know or ever come in contact with that Verizon is not a company that anyone should ever do business with in any way, shape, or form including my family, friends, employers and anyone I ever see with a Verizon phone or considering doing business with Verizon.
Time are hard and I was working to pay off a past due amount. I was coming close to being fully paid off. I was current on my payment plan and there was no reason to expect my service to be terminated for a missed payment or failure to pay. Then, Verizon wrongfully terminated five of my contracts, one of which had an unlimited data plan. On July 2nd, I received a text message indicated that my account was scheduled for disconnect on July 7th and that I should call them if this is not what I wanted. So, I called that same day. I spoke with Amber. I told her of this text message I received and was advised that it was because I had a past due balance. I told her that #1 - the text message had nothing to do with my balance because I had arrangements made with Retention, those arrangements were met and current, and #2 - that the text message did not say that my service would be interrupted, but that it was being terminated.
I requested to speak with the department that handles complete disconnects so that I could ensure that my services were not scheduled for termination. She refused to transfer me and told me that she didn't see any notice for disconnection on my account. I requested again to speak with that department and she refused again assuring me that my account was fine and would not be disconnected. Reluctantly, I hung up and waited.
On the evening of July 7th, FIVE of my SIX lines were terminated. The only one NOT terminated was my line - the one I used to call from on July 2nd. When I called Verizon to rectify the problem, they demanded the full past due, which I had arrangements for and was current in paying. I refused. I was transferred from one department to another to another with rep after rep assuring me that my services would be back on before the end of the day.
VZW even ADMITTED that the representative AMBER deleted the line item that showed my account was going to be disconnected, which is why my line remained active, but that she failed to do it for the other five lines on my account and, therefore, it was HER FAULT.
I spent a total of EIGHT HOURS on hold and on the phone with Verizon Wireless. And, of course, hours upon hours upon hours waiting for reps to call me back who never did.
One of the most disgusting things I experienced was spending hours getting transferred back and forth between customer service, financial services, retention and back to customer service all of them telling me that none of them were responsible for reconnecting lines and didn't have any ability to reconnect services!
REALLY?!?!?!?!
Verizon Wireless wrongfully disconnected my lines and then held them hostage and tried to extort money from me. Now, they won't release my numbers back to me to port into another service. My hubby is a service member and a civil federal employee. He has to have his phone with him 24/7 and to change his number with them is a pain in the royal butt! He's had that number for years. Now I've had to go pay nearly $200 out of pocket to get new service and Verizon won't give his number back to him. On top of all of it, VZW had the nerve to charge me over $527 in early termination fees for contract terminations!!!!
I hope that Amber loses her job, along with ever other representative who failed to resolve this issue and failed to call me back and make things right.

Amazing! After posting this and after filing an FCC Complaint, I got a phone call from Verizon this morning and all my lines have been reconnected and the early termination fees have been reversed.
People, this is proof that if you've been wronged and you keep documentation of your efforts and don't just quit and give up and walk away and let people who have wronged you win.
Whether or not I will continue with Verizon Wireless as my provider after the last of my contracts expires in 6 months has yet to be determined. No credit was given for the $130 I had to put out for Straight Talk phones when they refused to turn my phones back on.
It's a pity it took 5 days for them to actually do something forcing me to pay $130 cash for something I shouldn't have had to pay cash for. Yes, I am grateful to have my phones back. But, I've still been left harmed and that is a cryin' shame.

Missing information on Custom Services running on T61.

Just wandering why Lenovo/IBM do not provide description/documentation on the custom services they developed and configured for ThinkPads.
For example "ThinkPad HDD APS Logging Service" - there is no description provided in Windows Services app.
And even more confusing - Nothing returned by Search on Lenovo web site.
All IBM products have always been well-documented! And I wish Lenovo to use this approach for ThinkPads!
any advise regarding "ThinkPad HDD APS Logging Service" -- highly appreciated!

F11 did not work F10 did. ThaNK YOU FOR THE HELP
