I am unhappy with my customer service experience. To whom should I address my angry e-mail?

I cannot find any links on the website in which I can make a complaint. Convenient...

There are no published email addresses for Apple Customer Relations. If your complaint is with an Apple Store, you can use the relevant feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/retail/feedback/
If your complaint is with Apple Support, you can try calling the support line, asking to speak with someone in Customer Relations, and calmly discussing the issue with them. If your complaint is with Customer Relations themselves, all you can do is write Apple's corporate address, which you can find by clicking the Contact Us link at the lower-right of any Apple web page including this one.

[locked] VERY UNHAPPY with Adobe Customer Service

I used Live Chat earlier this afternoon with some questions I had about my serial number and had a very good experience. Then, when I later came across some technical issues with installing one program in my Suite, using Live Chat - which I much prefer - was not an option. So I called the Technical Support line. Pushed all the right buttons and was thrown into muzak hell for THIRTY minutes after which I hung up. There are no messages telling you to continue waiting for a technician, there are no messages telling you what your remaining wait times. Even offering a call-back would be great. So, assuming I was lost in space somewhere, I hung up and called back, where I waited in Muzak hell again for another 25 minutes until finally someone answered. He was, of course, very difficult to understand, didn't understand anything I was saying...and then he wasn't able to offer me ANY SUPPORT. He told me to come to the forums!!! Are you kidding me?! I have to go to a discussion thread to find out if anyone has any suggestions for what my problem might be?! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I don't even know if this is the right place to complain but there doesn't seem to be any other place to express my disgust with your customer service. Everything on this site is for a specific product or Adobe.com. YOU NEED TO RETHINK YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE PRACTICES, ADOBE. You have one extremely disgruntled customer, who still doesn't have Adobe Acrobat Professional on her computer.

Welcome to the world of Adobe.

Who can a customer contact if they are unhappy with the customer service the have recieved?

I have been a verizon customer since 2008, I have been happy with my service, but at times when I have an issue, I don't feel I have been helped or talk to anyone that can actually help me or do anything. More often than not its is a "wait it out till this just blows over" feel to the situation. I don't really want to put all my business out on a public forum, but I currently have an on going issue that has been going on since sat and it is still not resolved with an order I placed. It was identified on that day, When I was finally able to place the order (which is a whole other separate issue) that there was some incorrect information in the order.   I was told I had to call back once the order was processed, which I did in an attempt to have a correction made, which I did. After a day it looked as though things had not changed so I called back again only to find that there was another issue, I had not been notified about. I was told by the reps that helped me that there was not anything they could do even after speaking to a manager.
Obviously there are alot more details which I have all that information written down, but my point in starting this thread is that I believe that there are alot of customers that go through things like this and it never reached the "right people"   At this point, my order has not been fulfilled, it has been paid for and I have been told it could take up to another 10 days before it can be processed. I don't feel that is acceptable at all. I don't feel like this will be a it will blow over incident for me. If I am unable to get any assistance for this I may leave verizon.

So unhappy with the customer service I received

I initiated an online chat today. I already have an HTC Incredible. I wanted to add 2 phones (not smart phones) one for each of my children since school is starting soon. I felt rushed. She was not rude but she was definitely curt. I felt like I was not able to ask questions because when I did it was met with "as stated above", or "do you wish to proceed". I was asking VALID QUESTIONS. I was trying to find out what the fees were. I was not clear on price so I asked again and was met for the 3rd time, "Would you like to proceed?" I told her that I was sorry if I was keeping her but I did not want to agree to something that I was not clear on. I felt so rushed. I was confused by this statement:
"Aubrey: You will have an activation fee for each line $35.00 for the primary line and $25.00 for each additional line. Would you like to proceed with completing an order?"
To me, this meant $35 for the primary line (which I assumed she meant was the line I already have... the primary line) and $25 for each line I was adding... I wanted to add 2 lines. I interpreted this to mean that I would be charged $35 for my primary line and $25 for EACH ADDITIONAL LINE (There were 2 more)... So in my mind that was $35+$25+$25. That didn't make sense. She just kept pushing and asking if I would like to proceed. I told her I do after I ask a few questions. I don't want to agree to pay for something until I understand it. I told her I was sorry if I was keeping her, she said, "This is an online sales chat." That confused me. I told her that's why I was only communicating with her regarding the sale of the phone... like the COST. I was not discussing the weather or anything. I felt very rushed. Then when I asked how much my bill would be each month, I was told
"As an online sales agent because I don't handle billing I don't have the ability to advise you of the monthly fee with the taxes include."
What? You can sell me something but I don't know if I can afford it?
She told me to call *611.
I'm not saying she was "rude". I'm certainly saying, though, that I did not feel that she was trying to be helpful.
I felt like I had totally wasted my time and I felt like she was aggravated with me. Now, I still don't have phones for my children.

It seems that you are asking the wrong questions.
For the 1st question, instead of asking over what the activation fees would be, you should have stated that the primary line was ALREADY active and why would I have to pay an activation fee for something that was already in service.
For the 2nd question, you should have asked what your recurring monthly charges WITHOUT TAXES would be. The sales rep may not have information for all federal/state/local taxes and surcharges which may be applied to your account. This could be vastly different from one customer to another, even within the service area of a single Verizon store.

DISGUSTED, HORRIFIED, ANGRY, WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD at Verizon Wireless.

DISGUSTED, HORRIFIED, ANGRY, WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER HAD at Verizon Wireless. I have been trying to return my Iphone 5S for the past week. I’ve been to 3 different Verizon Wireless stores in 2 states and have spent countless hours trying to get the return processed. The Verizon Wireless IT system is literally INCAPABLE of processing my return. I purchased an Iphone 5S under the Edge plan. I traded in my old Iphone 4S and was given a gift card. This gift card went towards the payment of the first month of the Edge plan, the tax on the 5S, and a screen protector. When I tried to return the device after 1 week the system literally could not process the return in multiple stores. A call was put into the operations department on my behalf 5 days ago and I haven’t heard anything back. I am not looking for a handout or a freebie I just want to return my phone as I am allowed to do under Verizon Wireless’ terms and conditions. Today is the last day of the 2 week return period although I was assured by a store manager that this will not apply to me due to my situation but I am skeptical given the situation. I would like to get this resolved ASAP. I am incredibly frustrated and disgusted and if/when I am able to return this device I would strongly consider leaving Verizon. I would think the largest carrier in the country would be able to process a simple return. This is totally unacceptable.

Hello cmc29,
I would like to truly apologize for the state of affairs you’ve found yourself in, as it’s never fun to be without a washer (or dryer) for any length of time. For me, laundry just seems to appear overnight, and I can only imagine how daunting of a task washing all of it would be after watching it pile up for a few weeks. I’m sure it only complicated things when our appointments continuously fell through for various reasons, and I’m sorry for the aggravation this added to already frustrating situation.
When your delivery day arrives, you should receive a call from us to narrow down the time frame to a 2 hour window. This is done because our delivery agent’s schedule isn’t fully determined until the day of service as our customer’s needs may change prior to the delivery date. These routes are then best optimized to fit the appointments scheduled for the day. After looking through your delivery date for your dryer, I see that your slot was from 5:30 to 7:30. Something was clearly miscommunicated if you thought otherwise though, and it’s even worse to hear that it arrived in less than pristine condition. Please know that I’m looking into this to see what options we may have to fix this.
Upon review of your order, I see that your washer is awaiting transit from one of our warehouses to one near you. Please know that I’m currently collaborating with both of them to make sure they are aware of your impending delivery date of 8/4, and I’ll update you as soon as more information becomes available.
I greatly appreciate your patience, and I’ll be in touch very soon.

Complaint BAD customer service experience in Hong Kong

I would like to complaint a Apple staff called “Andrew” who worked in Festival Walk Apple retail store in Hong Kong resulting in my wife cannot buy the iPhone reserved within the timeslot provided.
My wife successfully reserved two iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Gold with timeslot 12pm to 1pm (Lunch time period) on 13 Oct 2014 at Festival Walk Apple retail Store in Hong Kong. She queue and waits for assistance. Bearing in mind two different members of staff approached her and said there was a 20/25 min wait. It is fine to wait for 20-25min. But after 20 min later, she asked the Apple staff again to confirm how long she needs to wait for and ask if she whether took the iPhone few hours earlier and later. This is because the she needs back to work.
She asked the apple staff called “Andrew”, he raised his voice and told her that she need to wait now and cannot take the two iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Gold earlier and later. He also said if she would like to take the iPhone earlier, she needed to ask everyone in the queue to confirm if she allows taking the iPhone first. How come the staff response to her like that. My wife needed back to work finally and cannot buy the iPhone reserved!
At first, time management is very bad in Festival Walk Apple Retail Store in Hong Kong is very worst. Why my wife cannot buy the iPhone within the timeslot provided.
Secondly, Apple Staff attitude is very ridiculous. My wife just enquired the staff politely. But how come the staff replied her like that. How come Apple hired a rude staff likes “Andrew” in Festival Walk Apple Retail Store in Hong Kong. He was very rude, impolite to her. What’s going on. The staffs never polite and I can tell you if we treated our customers like that where I worked we would have been fired immediately!!
Does Apple Company provide any training to the staff? My wife and I doubt that any training provided to the staff. Apple customer service is terrible, he really don't care about helping you with a problem.
Apple is a big company over the world. Apple staff is the most arrogant group of people we will ever meet. They provide such worst customer service experience. It is absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable. Great service offers a unique opportunity for businesses that are willing to invest in a memorable customer experience – they can ot-support the competition. But I cannot find any great customer experience in this Apple Retail Store. Please note that Bad customer service is totally affect company reputation. I did complaint those staff “Andrew” on the same day. But there is no any feedback and response from the Festival Walk Shop Manager or Apple representative. It's an absolute disgrace and I wonder why apple don't have a complaint department!

<< Personal comments removed >>
You get to the store ~30 minutes before closing time, your card is declined for insufficient funds, you are told there isn't enough time to go to your bank in order to deposit more funds and return in time to finish the transaction and are surprised when they don't agree to finish the transaction when you return AT closing time?
Glad you finally got your phone, but I too see no reason for an apology from Verizon. Maybe checking to make sure you have the funds to cover the expenditure next time would be wise. You have a smartphone, possibly adding an app to make the funds transfer electronically would have even kept you in the store while you made the additional deposit/transfer. Better planning on your part would have prevented ALL of this.

My Customer Service Experience (Store #55)

I went to this Best Buy store because of a laptop that I found for sale in their Open Box section online. The laptop was listed online and at the store for $839.99. When I arrived at the store, a gentlemen assisted me is picking the laptop up and I was ready for check out, this was where my customer service experience with Best Buy got worse. I had given the checkout associate a 10% coupon that I had received, he was unable to add the coupon the to cart so he called a manager, Chad (removed per forum guidelines).
Mr. (removed per forum guidelines) then tried to add the coupon to the order but ultimately said that I could not use the coupon for this order, because it was Open Box item with a discount already presented. However, my coupon's terms and conditions stated nothing about being able to use this coupon on Open Box items. I asked Mr. (removed per forum guidelines) to contact a manager that I could speak with, he called Josh (removed per forum guidelines).
Mr. (removed per forum guidelines) then came to me and stated that the coupon could also not be used, but only be used on the original price. However, I once again stated that NO WHERE on the coupon did it state that this coupon could not be used on Open Box items. I then asked Mr. (removed per forum guidelines) to tell me that he would not honor the coupon and he stated verbatim, "I will not honor the 10% coupon". I also asked him to write this down for me to document however he declined to do so. I wonder why that was..maybe he knew he was wrong and didn't want it documented.
The problem that I am facing here is that no where on the coupon did it state that the coupon could not be used, however, Mr. (removed per forum guidelines) and Mr. (removed per forum guidelines) both did not honor my coupon. This was my worst experience at Best Buy and I am truly frustrated with the customer service I received. I shop at Best Buy often, I am an Elite Plus RewardZone customer.
I did end up buying the laptop or $839.99 + $69.30 tax with a total of $909.29. However, I did not receive my 10% discount which I believe is unacceptable on Best Buy's part. I am not impressed with Best Buy's service and experience at all.
An apology would be a start, but what I really want is my 10% discount or a good reason of why I couldn't get one.

Hello arsalann24,
Buying a new computer has always been very fun and exciting for me, and I assume that it is so for everyone else as well. The process should not become complex or frustrating at any point, and I regret that this seems to be the case with your recent computer shopping experience.
Many coupons contain exclusions to how they may be used. For example, some may not be used on certain categories of products, or on specific brands. Not all can be used on products that have already been reduced in price. Some may not be used on prior purchases. That being said, I have a few questions for you:
At what store did you make your purchase?
Did you make your purchase as an online order for store pickup?
From what source did you acquire the coupon, i.e., Movers coupon, College Student Deals, etc.
I'm grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concerns and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Could anyone show me how to file a complaint with Verizon Customer Service?

I would first like to state that this is my first time having an issue with Verizon Customer Service.In all my years of using their service, I had never run into someone that truly had no idea what they were talking about. I would like to file a complaint to save everyone from experiencing the frustration I am feeling and from wasting your time.
Here is the story, so that you can understand the reason why I would like to file a complaint;
My phone has always had an SD Card in addition to the phone memory because my phone memory is already tiny, less than 1 GB.I put things that cannot be put on my SD Card (my text messages, contacts, etc.).
This past week I kept on receiving air messages that my phone memory was full. I deleted most of my text messages but I still received air messages that my phone memory was "full". I therefore decided to call Verizon Wireless to see if they could help me solve my problem or at least educate me on what was taking space in my phone memory.
Well, I unfortunately had the luck of being connected with a representative named "Naima" and I told her about my phone memory problem. She said she knew how to fix my problem and instructed me to click on the "Format SD Card" button. Following her instructions blindly, I never once stopped to consider that clicking on that button would erase everything. And so ALL my pictures, ringtones, and videos were erased.
Trying to fix her mistake she dug herself into a deeper hole. Instead of admitting that she had made a mistake she claimed that my pictures, ringtones, and videos could be recovered, She had me access Backup Assistant, but my stuff was NOT saved there. I later learned that my phone's Backup Assistant can only save contacts, NOT pictures. She knew what phone I had (representatives have all the phone's info and history) yet she led me in circles and wasted my time and could not own up to her mistake.
What upsets me is the fact that she did not even KNOW that the phone memory and SD Card are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things.And also she could not own up to her mistake, but instead wasted at least an hour of my time trying to get Backup Assistant to do something it could not.
I then attempted to file a complaint to found that Verizon makes it Virtually Impossible to file a complaint, only through MAIL! Really??

Well actually sending a certified return receipt letter to Verizon Wireless may or may not do any good. you can also file a complaint here http://www.bbb.org
Those out of memory messages usually mean internal memory is getting full. I have no idea of your make and model of device but there are many articles via google that tell you how to transfer files from internal memory to sd card memory.
Now on the off chance your sd card is nearing its capacity you can either hook to your computer via usb and the computer will show two drive letters. One is internal memory and the other is the sd card memory. If its internal memory and your sd card is not full you can drag and drop the files to the sd card. However you can also get a card reader and then make a saved files folder on your desktop, then cut and paste any or all movable files to that new folder you just created. its really very easy.
You can also remove files from internal memory (music, photos,documents) to that folder on your desktop. You can also remove all files and photos from the sd card on a regular basis to never have that low memory problem again. I always purchase the largest sd card that is usable on my device and never save anything like music and photos to internal memory.

NOT thrilled with the customer service I just received.

I just ended a call with a customer service representative by the name of Amber.
Like the many users on this forum, I was up at 12:00am on 9/12 pre-ordering 2 Iphone 6+ 128g devices. Throughout the pre-order process, I was shown a delivery date of no later than 7:00pm on Sept. 19th. I submitted my order within minutes, only to wake up to an e-mail with a delivery date of 10/7/14. I called customer service that day and was told that I would have the phones on Sept. 19th despite what the email said. Now five days later, my order status remains "we received your order and it is in process" and the Expected Ship Date is "Not available at this time." Further, my credit card has yet to be charged. Other users on this forum submitted their orders for the same phones after me, yet have receveid tracking numbers showing a deliver date of Sept. 19th.
While on the phone with Amber, she suggested that I go to a retailer on Friday to see if I can get the devices. Needless to say, I was quite offended by her recommendation. I reminded her that I intended on renewing two contracts with Verizon in exchange for two phones being in my hands on Friday. I also suggested that if she wants me to go to a retailer, then Verizon runs the risk of losing my longstanding account if another provider provides me with a better deal. She then back tracked and said that was not what she was trying to suggest.
Verizon, I would like to speak or deal with a customer service rep who can give me assurance that my pre-ordered phones will be delivered on 9/19 as was promised when I placed by pre-order just minutes after they went up for pre-sale. With all due respect, I am looking for answers, not a link to an order status page that I have been checking far too often over the last five days. Thank you.

Don't EVER BUY HP again the worst customer service experience I have ever had.

$39 dollar to answer a question regarding a product you sell! Mathew employee [text removed for privacy] not only rude and not helpful but actually gave me the wrong number to call for his supervisor. An hour and a half of wasted time at work trying to get a simple question answered. I have never had a problem with Dell customer service or products. Now my employer knows and will never buy HP again as well. Hopefully by writing this it will save someone the time, energy, and headache. Keep doing business like that HP and you won’t have one.

Re: Thoroughly fed up with BT customer service.

I too am fed up with BT Customer Services - they seem only able to pursue their own script and simply do not listen to what the customer is saying. On numerous occasions they ask a question just seconds after they have received my aswer to that very question.
I have been experencing a particular broadband / exchange line problem for over three years, have kept a detailed log of my dealings with BT for over a year and it appears that there is no way of escalating the issue within BT. Follow 'contact us' and 'complaints' on teh website and see if you can get anywhere other than teh standard customer servoces number. Customer services say they are unable to escalate to a more senior person / department.
'Customer Services' - to me a rather hollow joke, especially as they are in effect a monopoly provider and being paid millions of pounds of taxpayers money to roll out Infinity.
I think the answer either lies with legal action but perhaps if enough of us rais ethe issue with our MP we might be able to more effectively influence what is going on.

I have asked a moderator to provide assistance, they will post an invite on this thread.

HI tom jons,
You've landed in the community forums. But there are Adobe folks, such as myself, who pop in here throughout the day. What can we help you with? I noticed another post from you about a poor PDF conversion, and suggested that you try disabling OCR to resolve that issue. But if you need help with another issue, let us know!

Terrible Transfer Experience - 10+ hours with bad customer service

I've been a Verizon Fios customer for 3 years. For the most part service has been good, though there were a few instances where I've lost internet and cable for no apparent reason for a few days here and there. However, my experience with Verizon Fios over the past few days has been a nightmare. I called Verizon a few weeks ago to tell them that I was moving from an apartment on the 5th floor of my building to an apartment on the 7th floor in the same building. Additonally, I wanted to sign a 2-year contract for phone, tv, and internet. This process went smoothily and my service to my old apartment was to be cut off on 8/10/2012 while the same day my new apartment went get the Triple-play deal on the same day (8/10/2012).
The day finally arrives and Verizon goes 1 for 2 by shutting off my old apartment service (at 6am no less) while not activating my new service. I was told that a servicemen was to be sent between 1pm-5pm. At 4:00pm I call Tech support to check on the status of my order, and they tell me that there are "engineering problems" in my building and there are not enough "ports" for my service, but that a technician is on his way; he's just running late. 6:30pm rolls in and still no contact from a technician or anyone. I call again, 45 minute wait, talk to another support person who tells me the techician is still coming; just running late. It's now 10pm and I call Tech support again. I get tossed around from department to department (Tech Support, Sales, Fiber-Optic installation) and finally I'm told that the "engineering problem" will be resolved in the morning 8/12/2012.
The next morning, 8/12/2012, 11am, no contact at all so I call Tech Support again, 35 minute wait. They now tell me that no technician will be coming out because there's a "serious engineering problem" and they try to schedule me for 8/16/2012. I say that's unacceptable, and that I need a technician out that day (8/12/2012). My customer support puts me on hold for 20 minutes, comes back on the phone, only to hang up on me. I stop trying to call Tech support, and head out of my building around 4pm and right in front of my building is a Fios technician. He says that he's there for another apartment! I ask him about the "serious engineering problems" they're having in my building. He has no idea what I'm talking about and when asked if he'd take a look at our apartments connection, he declines. So at this point, I know I've previously been lied to about my techinical issues and that they couldn't send out a technician until 8/16/2012.
Extremely frustrated, I call customer service tech support again, 45 minute wait, and I talk to Michele who tells me that my order is still pending (yea I figured that) but that it's in the system as only phone and TV, no internet! So it just keeps getting better! She fixes the order to reflect tv, phone, internet and and then connects me to Fios "elite" customer service, to reschedule my technician appointment, and to talk about compensation (first mention of this). I talk to Carolyn{edited for privacy} (SP?) at Elite customer service and she says she is talking to dispatch to get a technician out that day 8/12/2012. I get put on hold for 40 minutes and then Carolyn comes back on the phone to say that she'll give me a call back when a technician has been dispatched. I give her my cell number and say goodbye. Hours go by and no call back. I call back customer service, immediately ask for "elite" customer service. I get put in touch with Ms. C{edited for privacy}. I ask to be put in touch with Carolyn, but Ms. C{edited for privacy} has no idea who I'm talking about. I tell Ms. C{edited for privacy} my story (pretty angrily at this point). I request that she tell me the employee numbers of the people that have worked on my account the past couple of days so that I can make a formal complaint. Ms. C{edited for privacy} tells me my account has only been notated once (the 10pm call I made on 8/10/2012). Ms. C{edited for privacy} offers to reschedule my technican but offers first again 8/16/2012. I say no way, and then she offers me 8/12/2012. I accept reluctantly. I also inquire about the compensation Carolyn mentioned, and Ms. C{edited for privacy} says that she can't discuss that until installation is complete. Ms. C{edited for privacy} says she'll call me Monday (8/13/2012) to make sure installation went accordingly I ask Ms. C{edited for privacy} for a direct line of contact so I can call her. She gives me the number 443-436-3954. I ask her "Are you sure this is a direct line and I won't be on hold for 45 mintues". She says of course. Turns out this number is a voice mailbox number and doesn't put me in touch with anyone.
Sunday 8/13/2012 rolls around. Our techinican shows up on time (hallelujah!!). Lloyd, our technician, is the first Verizon Fios representative who's on top of his stuff. He quickly deduces that the "serious engineering problem" was simply that the people that lived in the apartment before us did not cancel their subscription. Therefore, they were taking up the "port" we needed for service. Lloyd does his job, and in under 2.5 hours. We have TV and internet, but no phone because Lloyd's technical support needs to do some things on their end.
So the tally at the end of this awful expereience:
1) 10+ hours of calling customer service, tech support, fiber optic installation, sales, and "elite" customer service.
2) Over 5 hours of wait time.
3) Spoke with 12-15 representatives with 3-4 different stories for my problem.
4) Complete failure of communication from Fios.
5) TV and internet installed 2 days late
6) Phone still uninstalled
7) Too many lies to count
I am debating if I should just switch at this point, but I'm not sure if Verizon will penalize me (like they haven't done enough already!) . Anyone know if there's a grace period at which to cancel without penalty? Also Moderators, can you please have someone from your "super duper elite" customer service call me cause this issue is still not resolves and I still need to file a formal complaint either with your corporate office or my state business bureau.
Exhausted,
Mike

Appalling experience with Sky customer service

I am appalled with the recent service from Sky. I wanted to cancel my subsrciption due to Sky charging extortionate amounts for crap TV. I was intially told when re-contracting that if I wanted to terminate my contract that I would be charged. Today I spoke to Sky to cancel and was told that I am NOT allowed to cancel. I feel trapped in my contract. Sky constantly rip customers off and I have had enough. After today's experience I would never recommend Sky to anyone as they treat their LOYAL customers (I have been with Sky for 8 years) like S**T. They are only interested in tapping up new customers and once they have TRAPPED them, bleed them for all the money they have!!!!!!

Well thats funny as i am in contract with Sky( just under 6 months left) and had to cancel a just over a week ago and had zero issues doing so,i just called up explained why i had to cancel and that was that the whole process took me around 15 minutes and that included being on hold and going over the early termination fee's. Your free to cancel whenever you want to but you will be expected to pay early termination fee's if your within a minimum term.

I am unhappy with my customer service experience. To whom should I address my angry e-mail?
