Extremely Disappointed with Customer Service

Saturday, August 1st, my daughter called Verizon customer service to increase my internet speed. The representative helped and said the upgrade would take effect Thursday, August 6. We receive a call on the 6th and were told that we now have the increased internet speed. The internet stopped working once the upgrade took effect. It is Sunday, August 9th and we still do not have internet.
When we call, we’re informed that the call is recorded and I hope that is true. If so, I’d like a customer service manager or specialist to please review the calls that we made from our home number, {edited for privacy}, on Thursday, August 6th, Friday, August 7th, Saturday, August 8th and Sunday August 9th. I believe anyone that listens to our calls and the responses we received from the initial service representative would understand my great frustration.
August 6th, my wife called to notify Verizon that the internet is not working and to get it fixed. She went through the initial trouble shooting attempts with the customer service representative. After, the representative said that a ticket would be created and the issue would be fixed in 24 hours.
August 7th, I called and spoke to another customer service representative. This representative said that the first representative was mistaken, it takes 48 hours. The representative said there is a ticket with the central office.
August 8th, I called to follow up because it has been 48 hours and I was assured we would receive a call from a network specialist. During the call, I was put on hold and disconnected. In the beginning, I was asked for a call-back number. Why did I not receive a call back? I was again told that the first line customer service could not give me any other information than there is a ticket with the central office.
August 9th, my daughter called to get information about why we still do not have internet. We were told 48 hours and at this point, it has been well over that time period. We have not received a call back from a specialist, as promised as well. She spoke to Edward at around 9am, Pacific Time. He informed her that the central office only received the ticket today and said that we would definitely be receiving a call “soon” since it has been more than 48 hours. She asked if she could speak to the central office herself or a network specialist since he could not give her any answers. He informed her that he could not. She asked if she could speak to his supervisor because she was unhappy with not receiving any answers after 4 attempts to resolve our issue. He said that the supervisor would tell her the same thing. She said she understood that he tried everything he could but she wanted to express her frustration and displeasure with not receiving any answers. She had to ask 3 times for the supervisor. He, then, put her on hold and a moment later, the call was disconnected. Again, at the beginning of this call, he asked for a call back number. Why didn’t she receive a call back after the call was disconnected?
When my daughter initially called to increase the speed on August 6th, the first representative she spoke to had put her on hold and she was disconnected. 3 out of 7 times we tried calling Verizon, we were disconnected and not once received a call back.
1. Each representative gave us answers that were inaccurate and conflicting. We did not receive helpful or satisfactory answers.
2. Repeatedly, we were told that we would receive a call back from a network specialist within a time period, and have not.
3. On multiple calls, we were disconnected at very suspect moments during the calls, and did not receive a call back.
4. After 4 days, we still do not have internet or any inclination when my issue will be resolved.
We have no assurance that our issue is being worked. The first-line customer service representatives should receive better training to handle issues such as ours. Hearing conflicting answers from different representatives, receiving broken promises, and being hung-up on is unacceptable from any service providing business. My frustrations are enough for me to search for another service provider.

What is up with customer service lately???

Apple is the product of choice in my household and has been for many years. I work on a MAC, have two Iphones, several Ipods, two original Ipads and recently brought an Ipad2 for my youngest child. I have not even had the product for a month when this occurs: My child was working on the Ipad2 and went to pass it to his brother who was on the coach next to him. It slipped out of their hands and fell less than 12 inches to the floor. Before I could get to the Ipad my youngest son picks it up and cuts his finger open on the glass. The Ipad2 was cracked in the bottom corner and the glass shattered into tiny pieces. I put the Ipad away.
I call up Apple and explain my situation. I get the most ridiculous response from a supervisor. She claims that she can not help because when the repairs department opens a box that is sent in and see a broken screen they will automatically look in the system for a credit card number. They want $269 to fix it. As if there is no way she can over ride this.
For a company that is supposed to be so great with customer service they seem to not care so much about customer safety. How do you promote a product and say that it is so great for people of all ages. Yet not take into account that your product is composed of a highly breakable substance like glass and may have accidental damage. You promote apps for young children to use with your products yet when they get injured using your product you are of no help. I would really like some resolution to this situation. I have never had any problems with your products and have always praised your customer service very highly. This time around I was extremely disappointed. Please help reinstate the faith I have had in Apple for a long time.

Apple does not tell you to let your children play games on it; there is no ad content featuring diaper clad toddlers stumbling around on your elegant wood flooring carrying your iPad. In fact, these forums are filled with horror stories of people who have done just that.
Apple has not recommended that you just stuff it into your backpacks or your briefcases and then casrelessly, casually toss those items around as you seem to think is the normal way to use them. In fact, these forums are filled with horror stories of people who have done just that.
Apple does not recommend that you toss it around like a magazine, which most sentient beings would recognize as being in many ways different from a sophisticated manufactured item. In fact, these forums are filled with horror stories of people who have done just that.
Apple does not recommend that you fall asleep with it while watching videos, or watch videos with it propped up on the edge of the tub, or anything of the sort. In fact, these forums are filled with horror stories of people who have done just that.
Bottom line is you made a judgement call in allowing unsupervised young children access to an expensive piece of hardware that they, through carelessness, inattention, lack of coordination, whatever the reason ..... broke.
No new life lessons there, I think.

I reached my 1000th hour logged on the phone with customer service

I've been using Verizon jetpacks for 9 months now. Seemed like a sweet deal. Prepaid. Convenient. Fast and reliable. WRONG! I logged my 1000th hour on the phone with customer service today after a 5 hour "troubleshooting" session, second one this week. I've been having to make this exact 5 hour phone call every week sometimes up to 4x per week. I've never spent less than 3 hours on the phone or gone more than 4 days without having to contact customer "service." Naturally, this is pretty ignorant sounding. But, I paid $100 for a significantly small amount of data. I prepaid to be exact. For a service to be rendered one must be able to receive the service paid for. That's simply not the case. I paid $100 for this data already and can't actually use it with any convenience. Unless of course, 5-20 per week on the phone with customer service is typical of any other company. Other than Virgin Mobile, No. It's in fact an extremely absurd amount time for ANY customer to spend on the phone with ANY customer service. No exception. I feel rather abused, used and ****** over by this so call "service". I lost 6 clients. They all sued me in small claims for $3000 each for failing to maintain my end due to my weekly dose of hours on the phone with customer service and NOT doing the job I was employed to do. Nope. Instead, I spent my time with Verizon Customer Service and COURT! Yay! So, I've lost my home, my car was repo'd, $18k loss, 6 customers... and not one time has Verizon spent one second and said to me "Verizon could be the problem"... NEVER has that been the case in all 1000 hours logged. Interesting? No. Just abusive. I resent having to call customer service at all any more. It's even causing my mental health to suffer after all this. You know what is found every time? I'm on a prepaid plan on a device customer service told me to purchase. But wait... thats the second device. Every week I'm told The OTHER device is the one that works with this plan... then a few days later, no that other device is the one that works with the plan, a few days later... The OTHER DEVICE IS THE ONE THAT WORKS.. FFS. See a pattern? I've been directed by Verizon to replace my device 3 times, at $100+ per device plus the $10 sim card, plus the 5 hours on the phone with them every few days. I'd say there's an issue with customer service. First, yes it IS possible there is an issue on YOUR end. I'm pretty sure that having to buy a new device every time I call isn't really the best answer. Second, for the extremely limited amount of data I can't afford to watch a video for fear of capping my data before the end of the 30 days because its 10gig of data. Yeah, 2 whole movies worth! Third, its possible to be wrong, yet Verizon has never, not one single time chose to check their end. ALWAYS and ONLY my end. I don't find that surprising or ironic, I find it the most ignorant and worst customer service in existence only second to Virgin Mobile. Virgin mobile did finally acknowledge the issue was in the broken tower nearby. It took them 6 months and yes... 100's of hours on the phone. Verizon hasn't made any effort to accept responsibility for this issue. I'm sure they are very sincere when they are consuming my 5 hours per phone call trouble shooting my device for the third time this week. It's actually to the point where they have violated their terms of service and failed to look into an issue on their end. The tower has been hit. Hmmm... Ironic. Its quite a distance from here, but is a main tower that has caused an outage across my state. Verizon couldnt tell me that? Is that admitting your wrong so hard to do that it's easier to spend 5 hours on the phone trouble shooting my device than 5 mins looking for outages? Yeah, it could have saved my house and job, but I'm the customer... clueless idiot at the mercy of a company who is never wrong nor makes an effort to correct an issue on their end before stealing my hours from me. At one point, I actually fell asleep in my 2nd hour on hold. Customer service? Nope, a waste. I could dig it if this issue was on my end, but I'm confident that spending up to 20 hours a week troubleshooting to no avail is a HUGE red flag that its not on my end after all. Only cost me a house, a job, car and $18k plus court costs and fees. Fair? Nope. But it would be nice if just ONCE there was an initiative to provide actual support to a customer. I KNOW if this is my experience it is impossible to be an isolated incident with me alone. If I'm tying up 5 hours on the phone, what is the next guy doing? waiting to trouble shoot his box for the next 5 hours over a downed tower. Pride is what that is. People too proud to be wrong at someone else's expense. Definitely an issue if I've paid $900 in 9 months and I spent more hours on the phone with customer service than I have online. Pretty ******. Verizon, you ARE WRONG. Owning it would save the embarrassment of having to ***** about it on this site. I didnt' deserve my losses and it was at my expense and it is STILL at my expense that I'm having to contact that 888-294-6804 number. I've got it memorized like it was my best friends number - that's how often and how many times i've used it. Shame how simple it would be if Verizon wasn't so ******* proud and spent a few moments looking for issues on their end before stealing 5 hours from me doing the obvious over and over and over again... Small claims can be used to sue up to $3k. Looks like that's my only alternative, perhaps if I do that maybe checking for issues on their end will occur instead of pretending its impossible. It feels like I went to mcd's and paid for a meal at the window that took 5 hours to get a bag of raw patties thrown at me from inside after sitting at the window for 5 hours and waiting. I'm wrong of course. I'm am the customer. How could I possibly be right? I've troubleshooted my device over 1000 times. Of course its on my end. Must be.... 1000 times isn't enough to find out there's a potential issue that isn't related to my specific device, no? Is it gonna take 1000 more hours on the phone before one of the representatives decide to look for an outage before the 5 hours of daily trouble shooting? Thats a huge red flag that just keeps getting ignored. I can't think of any other companies besides these two internet providers that finds that acceptable. Better Business Bureau didn't. I'll be filing that complaint with them next. High time Verizon stepped off such a prideful pedestal and seek a remedy before a class action suit sinks them in the future from all other raging bitches not being provided with reasonable service. It's not a rant, this has been a life shattering experience for me and a simple quick check for an issue on their end could have prevented it. BAD BAD BAD Customer service policies to keep a customer on the phone for that length of time to repetitiously check the exact same thing repeatedly every few days. Disgusted. How dare that term "service" even be used if they can't provide "service" via support or otherwise. I'm on the internet finally after 10 hours and the news reported the Verizon tower down. Not verizon... A police officer interviewed on a Detroit News station instead. God knows police have nothing better to do in Detroit than make news appearances for verizon.

Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
In my city small claims is $5000.00
And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

Disappointing customer service

The printer that I ordered online showed up today with a shattered glass scanning screen. The nearest Best Buy is not a convenient drive for me, hence the online order. When I spoke with customer service, the apathetic agent informed me that "the printer didn't leave their warehouse damaged..." and implied that since it "probably" wasn't their fault, they didn't care to remedy the situation.
She offered to ship out a new one, and have the damaged item picked up. That sounds like a good policy... except I needed this printer ASAP and couldn't quite wait another week for one to show up. Why should I be the one penalized for receiving a broken printer??
When I informed the customer service agent that this option was not going to work for me, I could practically hear her eyes rolling as she said that that's all they can offer me. Period. No follow up, and no apology for what is quickly becoming the worst experience I've ever had with ordering products online.
Let it suffice to say, in the future I will avoid Best Buy's customer service phone line, if not Best Buy in general, at all costs.

Hi geminit,
First, how disappointing that the printer you needed so urgently arrived shattered! And second, I'm sorry that you didn't find either the solutions or the service helpful when you tried to remedy this with us over the phone.
I'd like to help. I'm sending you a private message, which you can check by logging into the forum and clicking the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner.

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?

I have "chatted" with customer service 5 different times. I was sent here. I have activated Photoshop Elements 9 on two different iMacs. They are both dead and I am unable to get it to activate on my newest computer. iMac. Can anybody help me?

Hi,
Did the serial number come from a boxed set and previously installed from disc and are you now trying to install from a download?
If so, that will not work - the serial numbers are different.
If you don't have a dvd drive on your new system, perhaps you could get someone to copy your disc to a memory stick and install from that.

Is there an online chat with customer service.

is there an online chat with customer service on the verizon site.

This does NOT work! It only gives you so-called information but does NOT connect you to a service rep/live operator/whatever you want to call it! I was "lucky" enough to somehow get connect with someone and then got disconnected just as it looked like we were getting somewhere. I've been trying for the last 15 minutes or so to get reconnected, with absolutely no luck. I can't call in for help since I need to be pressing buttons on my phone as I get info from the tech support person. Here is the transcript of our "conversation:"
>> chat transcript removed to comply with the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service <<
It was at this point that we got disconnected! This site is worthless, as is the advice I've gotten every time I've ever had to get help at the Verizon stores.

Getting frustrated with customer service

I bought a Droid Eris when I renewed my contract at the end of last year. Since then I have had to return my phone because of defects and am now on my third one. This one is also causing serious problems when I am trying to text and answer calls (freezing, screen moving on its own, trackball not working). I took it back and said that I am sick of having to replace it with the same model and I wanted a different one because, quite frankly, I don't believe I have gotten what I paid for with all the defects and frustrations I've experienced. I need the features of the smartphone for one of my jobs, but I was told that I could only get a different model smartphone if I purchased a refurbished one at a "discounted" price, which didn't seem all that discounted to me at all. I was then offered again, a new Droid Eris with the 90 day warranty. Well, my luck, day 91 will come and then my phone will begin to malfunction before I can renew my contract in October. According to both the store rep and the customer service rep at the 800 number, I would just have to deal with it or, they asked "do you have a back up phone?" So, that's Verizon's quality care for their customers? "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, we hope you brought a backup." Verizon has really pushed me so far on this that I don't think I want to renew my contract. That is the part that gets me. If my phone DOES screw up and I have to deal with it until October which is the soonest I can renew my contract that is up in February. Well, if I don't want to renew because of the lack of professional service, I will not have to "deal" till October, but until February or suffer the the expensive contract termination fee. I would even take a refurbished smartphone, other than the Eris, if they didn't charge me an obscene amount for it. I am extremely disappointed in Verizion. My cousin, who was eligible for a new phone once, had a problem with her phone but just wanted it fixed. Without question, she was upgraded free of charge to a better phone...and she didn't have a warranty, she didn't need to pay anything, she hadn't had to return a product several times that was known to be defective...they just gave it to her. I don't understand why, when I clearly have grounds to be upset, they refuse to accommodate me with just another model phone. Is there ANYONE else from Verizon I can contact who would be willing to work with me on this? Anyone here have a similar problem? I don't want to sound like a complainer but I've never had such a problem like this before and its completely aggrivating, especially when I have a project for a job that requires constant communication and they refuse to guarantee me a phone that will actually work.

Oh, I so feel your pain! I have even gone as far as writing to the corporate office a month ago and have not heard anything back. I am trying to email them again but now it is a bad the emails are being returned. Not thinking' they care about the old customers because of all the new customers coming from AT&T.
Can someone please post an email address for NE Area corporate! Please!

Issues with: Customer Service, Promotions, Not receiving emails.

I am not sure what thread to post this in. I have called verizon to try and get some resolution but that did not work out. A couple of days ago I called to ask when I would receive my visa gift card promised to me when I signed my two year agreement contract (Sept. 2012). The first rep I spoke to, Crystal, said I did not have any promotions offered to me because I had a month to month to contract. I told her, I had a 2 year contract because that is why I was offered the promotions (a choice between a $300 gift card or multi dvr for my whole house). She told me I was very mistaken, it was a month to month, and I was only calling to lie, tell her whatever I want and get a $100 gift card. I asked repeatedly to speak to someone else but she would not transfer me. Finally, after arguing with me, laughing at me, being extremely rude and telling me I was completely wrong, she put me on hold for over 15 minutes. I hung up, called back and spoke to Pam. I told Pam, yes, I want my gift card I was promised, but why would Verizon put me on a month to month without my consent? If I knew I was on a month to month I would have canceled a long time ago. She got me over to a supervisor named Mable. Mable, after arguing with me also, somehow realized I was right. After 2 hours of this finally someone didn't accuse me of lying. But then says that I don't qualify anyway because I didn't pay my bill on time. I told her I did, but maybe they have it wrong because I changed the date my bill was due. On top of the fact that they said they had emailed me things to explain my bill, plan, etc but I never received them. I asked her why the rules weren't explained over the phone and she says its because it was sent in an email. I told her, I have every single email I received from Verizon (I archive bills and such) and I never received one explaining my bill or the rules of the promotion. She told me that it basically was not her problem and there was nothing she could do. So after 2-3 hours of being told I was lying for $100, being laughed at, being yelled at, being put on hold, there was nothing they could do. After a year of paying them my hard earned money thinking I had done my part, there was nothing they could do. This was all done in such good faith. I just wanted to understand why I didn't receive my gift card, and now I am being told its because I chose to not read an email I NEVER RECEIVED. I am not a dishonest person, I did not deserve to get spoken to that way. And it is not my fault verizon has messed up notes and incorrect information. That incorrect information could include an incorrect email address because the only time I received emails from them was when I went to paperless billing. I am very frustrated. And saddened by the amount of disrespect I was treated with. I expected more from verizon, but all they did was trick me into getting their services, not stand by their word, not give the information I needed, and then allowed their customer service reps to talk down to me and say whatever they want. I am very frustrated and feel they should at least have handled the situation better. It is not fair that because of their mistake I didn't receive what I was promised. And what I had to go through over the phone with them is not right. Something needs to be done about this.

Disappointed at Customer Service !

This evening, I went to Creative Care to repair the LCD screen for my camera DC-4200. After seeing the crack on my camera, they said that I need to replace the new screen. Since it's not the producer's fault, I'm willing to pay for the replacement cost which I guessed about $50. However, they said that I had to pay $400 to replace the new one, that's totally crazy when the brand new camera selling outside is $250. They keep saying that's company's policy when I asked. That's really insane.
After a long talk with the woman at Creative Care, I gave up and came back but I'm really disappointed at Creative, one of the biggest company in Singapore. I cannot understand how come it cost $400, with that money, I can even buy a 7" LCD monitor. That's totally unreasonable !

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.
