Lack of Customer Service for Despicable Me hat

2/2/2015. Yesterday (Sunday) was the first day of advertisement of the Despicable Me 2 Blue Ray DVD ($12.99) with $1.99 minion hat. I called the Roseville, CA store and they said they had the hat in stock. 20 minutes later, I was at the store -- no hat (sold out about a week ago). They called the Citrus Heights, CA store who reserved a hat for me at customer service. Guess what, my husband went to pick up the products today and NO HAT. So, I'm mad, mad, mad. Best Buy has no customer service and I am so frustrated that I signed up for the blog forum just to vent and (hopefully) get a hat somehow.

Hello madminion-
I’m not sure if you saw the commercial featuring the new Minions movie, but they obviously are popular and I can understand why you would want that hat after seeing it! I’m sorry to hear that both the Roseville and Citrus Heights stores were sold out of it.
I’ve checked the stores around your area and unfortunately, it appears that they are sold out of these hats and with them being limited edition, I’m not sure if they will get them back in stock. However, we do still have the offer available through BestBuy.com currently here, so if you have not already bought your movie, you should be able to place an order for the movie and the hat while the promotion is running
I hope that this helps!

Total Lack of Customer Service - Ongoing Issues for 8 Weeks

Hi, I'm currently dealing with Comcast's legendarily awful customer support. I've tried a multitude of avenues, with the exception of this one, so in the hopes that maybe someone can help me here, this is what I've experienced in the past 8 weeks: June 1: Move into new townhouse. June 6: Attempt to setup Comcast internet and TV services through a 3rd party subscription company. $40/mo for Blast (50MB ) internet with a $75 VISA gift card, TV already provided through my HOA fees. Credit hard inquiry pulled for this subscription. Never got the $75 gift card. June 7: Attempt install of my own router/cable modem. Modem does not work. Spend several hours on the phone with various tech support and customer support employees. End result: no internet. June 8: Spend several hours on the phone with various tech support and customer support employees. End result: no internet. June 9: Spend several hours on the phone with various tech support and customer support employees. End result: 3rd party didn't actually create an account. Hard credit inquiry pulled (second one), $25/mo for 25MB internet and TV again included in HOA. Internet works, TV does not. June 10-16: Girlfriend (who is authorized on the account) attempts to pick-up cable boxes. Told that she cannot because she is not the account primary. After multiple phone calls to customer support, she finally is allowed to pick up the boxes. June 16-19: Attempt to install cable boxes, again with multiple customer service calls. Issue is traced to an incorrect rate code entered. Rate code correct, still doesn't fix cable boxes. End result: No TV June 20 to July 2: After multiple attempts to get cable boxes to communicate and failing, a tech visit was created. Tech visits house. My girlfriend was present for the appointment - I am an electrical engineer and did my best to explain to her what the issue is - there is a terminator at the external cable box preventing any signal from entering the house. She attempts to explain this to the tech, who dismisses her and says the issue is the satellite dish on the roof, which isn't even connected! July 18th: After trying to remove the terminator myself and failing, I call customer support and set up yet another tech visit. I am given a visit date of August 3rd (16 days later - completely insane), but promised that the agent will escalate the appointment and have someone call me back within "2 to 3 hours". I am still waiting on that particular callback. July 22nd: Spend multiple hours in online chat with 3 separate agents. My thought process was that by having everything in writing, maybe someone would actually do what they promised. I was promised bill credits for the unusable cable boxes and a callback within 24 hours to reschedule my appointment to an earlier date. Never got the correct amount credited, and I am again still waiting on that callback. July 27: Finally get aggravated enough to email the Executive Customer Care line. I am promised that I will hear from an agent within 24 hours. July 28: Get an email from the agent in broken English, addressing me as "Mrs." XXXXX (I am definitely not a "Mrs.") and claiming that he tried to call me earlier in the day (I had no missed calls or voicemails, and I was not on my phone at all that morning). I email him back immediately and he promises to follow up with me. I hear nothing for 4 hours, so I email the executive customer service team again. Instead of directly helping me, the inform me that they'll update my ticket and let my agent know. An hour later, I finally get a call from the agent informing me that although it is the end of his work day (which somehow ends at 3:45pm), he will try to get my appointment moved and he will definitely credit my account. He tells me that if I don't hear from someone from the local dispatch team that day, I would definitely hear from him first thing the next morning (the 29th). Shockingly, I don't hear anything from the local dispatch team that evening. July 29th: Don't receive a callback from either the local dispatch team or the agent helping me. I sent several emails to the main executive customer service line and am only told that my ticket would be updated and my agent informed. That does me absolutely no good, since my agent isn't helping me! My account still hasn't been credited, I have the same appointment date, and I still have 2 hard credit pulls on my credit score! My problem isn't overly complex or difficult to deal with. I don't want to be a thorn in Comcast's side, but I am being pushed in that direction because no one is assisting me, just passing the buck from rep to rep until I fall through the cracks. I am going to have to file complaints with the FCC, FTC, and BBB because of the appalling lack of customer service. I bill over $70/hr for my time at work, and I have wasted at least 50 hours during working hours dealing with this. I don't think it's unreasonable to want my issues resolved promptly when I've basically flushed $3500+ down the drain dealing with pure incompetence. If there is anyone who can actually help (and I don't mean telling me that someone will call back in the next 48 hours - because I've already fallen for that ruse a dozens times or so), please get in touch with me.

Hi wth1,
Sorry to hear about all the problems you had getting this resolved. I do see you were able to speak with someone yesterday who was able to assist you and come to a resolution. Please reach back out to us if you have any other issues.
Thank You

Appalled by the lack of customer service - NEW PHONE is DEFECTIVE

I was leaving for California at the end of July and needed a battery for my Galaxy Note 2. There were none to be found. Verizon agreed to allow me early upgrade to the Galaxy Note 3. After daily phone conversations with customer service, I finally got my phone 4 days after it was to be shipped next day air. I had to pay $75 California tax and a $15 next day fee. I live in Massachusetts and although we are known as "Taxachusetts" - it would not have been that much if sent to my home. Needless to say, I get the phone and it is unable to hold a charge (not being used) for more than 8 hours. I called customer service at least 10 times for a matter of at least 8 hours and have no resolution. I cannot get a new phone because I am beyond the 2 week deadline - "Really?" at that point I had the phone for 3 1/2 weeks. I have a phone bill sitting on my table for $418.00 (to include equipment) - I will not pay for this phone until they send me a new one. I do not think that is unreasonable, yet, each of the 10 customer service and supervisors I spoke with told me that is not possible - no one could do that for me...Look, all I want is a phone that works and VERIZON WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH THIS SITUATION!!! I have been a customer for a long time and am absolutely appalled by the lack of customer service!!! I am asking those on here for help. What carrier should I move to? Evidently Verizon does not need my service - and I am happy to share with my "Friends and Family" what a deceptive company this is. So what do you all suggest?

It's as my original messages states. After taking the iPhone5 to a verizon store and being told is was a known defect with the screen, we sent the phone back and received a refurbished phone. After weeks, we were sent an email with a picture imbedded that would not display. It stated the phone had internal damage. We certainly would not have returned the phone had we not been instructed to do so by Verizon or if it was damaged. We requested to send the refurbished IPhone back - we would have rather paid for a brand new phone than $300 for a refurbished one. We were told we could not. Beyond this - the support was unreal. The first person we spoke stated there was zero record of our original call to support to return the phone although our detailed calling bill showed a 35 min call. Three calls later and no one was able to show us the damange, prove it was our phone, etc. I'm not convinced this isnt some sham to get more money to be honest. We've been with you for 10 years. I do not want to pay for a refurbished phone especially when a verizon tech instructed us to send the original back due to a defect.

Moving Home / Lack of Customer Service / Cancellat...

I write to express my complete astonishment and disgust with the level of service BT has offered to me as a valued long standing customer.
I have been a customer of BT for approximately 4 years, taking out a phone line, unlimited broadband, BT vision and Sky Sports, amounting to a considerable charge of around £42.00 per month. I have used these products constantly during this period and have been very happy with the service.
In mid February 2012 I phoned to inform BT that I was moving home shortly and would like to switch all service to a new address. I was told that I needed to call back when my current line had been taken over by the new tenant, at which time I could then move my services.
On Thursday 1st March I rang BT to inform them that my line had been taken over by the new tenant and that I now wished to move my contract over. I was informed that I needed to take out a new contract which would then waive any connection charges. I was more than happy with this and asked to set up the new account. The lady at BT who I was speaking to informed me that after running a line check there was an issue with the new property in respect of the supply to it. I informed her that the previous tenant in the new property had a BT phone line with all BT sockets but had obviously cancelled it on moving out. She informed me she would run some more tests and ring me back the following day on the Friday 2nd March. BT did not contact me at any time on the Friday.
On Saturday 3rd March I rang BT back very disgruntled with the lack of service offered. I spoke to a gentleman who checked my account and system notes and stated he didn't know why I hadn't been contacted back. He informed me that I could take out a new account and waive the connection fees. He run a check on the line but informed me that it was coming back as a black line, and that he would need to book an engineer to come out to the property to check the connection. He was very helpful in his nature and suggested that I plugged a phone into the BT sockets and dialled 17070 to check for a line and number. He stated that as it was the weekend he couldn't book an engineer till Monday but he would personally phone me back by 12pm on Monday 5th March to check with me regards any current phone line and if necessary book the engineer.
At 1.00pm on Monday 5th March I had not received any phone call from BT. I can't say that I was surprised given BT's lack of customer service over the previous few days. I proceeded to phone BT again at my expense on my mobile phone to be greeted by a very helpful gentleman who again took me through the same details as previously had been stated. I informed him of my disappointment of BT's customer service, to which he apologised and tried to set up a new account for me. On attempting to set up all my services I was told that it kept failing on the BT system when it reached the broadband page. He suggested that I set up the phone line to instigate the new account and once live I could then upgrade my account to include broadband, BT vision and Sky Sports.
Although not happy with this I accepted the proposal to which he then attempted to book an engineer. He promptly informed me that the next engineer available would be on Monday 26th March 2012, a full 3 weeks delay!! He then informed me the broadband could then be initiated but with an additional lead time of a further 5-7 days. Thus bringing the whole episode up to a total of 4 weeks, not including the time already wasted by BT in the previous week.
I proceeded to inform the gentleman that this was an unacceptable amount of time coupled with the inconvenience and lack of service, and that I would now cancel my contract with BT.
After coming off the phone to BT, I proceeded to go onto the internet where within 10mins I had set up an account with Plusnet for broadband. I received a text message 2 hours later from Plusnet to inform me that my phone line was now live and gave details of my new phone number together with delivery details of my new home hub and an expected broadband start date within 3-5 days. Now that's quality service.
I have since received a final bill from BT stating cancellation charges of £61.13 to be paid by 22nd March 2012 and also a returns envelope to post back all the equipment.
Please can BT inform me whether this is an acceptable standard of service that a long standing customer expects?
Please can you inform me why BT have difficulty in moving my account to a new address when a new provider can initiate within hours?
How can BT charge me a cancellation fee when I have attempted to continue my service but BT could not offer the service within a reasonable time frame?
Under the Supply of Goods & Service Act 1982, please inform me if BT believe they have met the requirements of the legislation;
- That BT have carried out the service with reasonable care and skill
- That BT have carried out the work in reasonable time
- That BT ensure the work will be carried out at a reasonable cost
I am totally disgusted with BT and the level of service offered, the inconvenience caused, the wasted costs and time I have incurred trying to move my service and the overall unprofessional nature of your business.
I have sent a personal letter to Ian Livingston - CEO of BT - can't wait for the comical reply to that!!
Update 13th March 2012: Just received an obnoxious call from BT Customer Services stating the cancellation charges of £61.13 will stand as per an auto renewal contract which expires in August, even though BT cannot offer the service I require in a reasonable amount of time! Is it acceptable to wait 4 weeks for Broadband when I am an existing customer?? I think legislation, OFCOM & Ombudsman are firmly on my side! Great service BT!!

If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to help you.
They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.
BT Broadband customers - help with broadband, WiFi, networking, e-mail and phones.

Lack of Customer service unacceptable

I went to my local Verizon store 2 weeks ago to discuss how I could lower my monthly bill - the manager advised me that changing the name on my account to my husbands name would lower the bill substantially because of state credit - we changed that day - I just received my new bill and it is higher than the original - I went back to Verizon to discuss and was told I must have misunderstood - even though I have a paper with the managers figures on it - and because I changed the name on the account I no longer qualify for a loyal customer discount - incredible lack of customer service and rude - I will now take my business elsewhere as it seems Verizon does not care about loyalty to good customers. I will also tell anyone who will listen to Never sign up with this company - Shame on you Verizon!

I was told that I could qualify for the 4 lines for $140 that is being offered at this time (even though I only have 3 phones 2 of which are iPhones) and with the discount for changing account to my husbands name (because he works for the state of NJ) the total monthly bill would be $113. I purposely went there to lower my bill and when I left that is what I thought happened. The manager even wrote out the different plan options on paper that I took with me I can scan this and send to you if needed - when I came back with my husband the manager passed me to an associate to give her experience - she had to keep asking questions and eventually needed to call into main office to make changes. I would have never agreed to make my bill higher and am desperate to get this straightened out. I did not even realize this happened until I received my current invoice for $209 - when I went back to the Verizon yesterday I spoke to someone (unfortunately I did not get her name) she stated there was nothing that could be done and maybe I just didn't understand what I did. Then she proceeded to go to another person and loudly state "Oh she's just mad because she didn't know what she is doing". She also told me that by changing the name on the account I no longer qualified for a loyal customer discount. Any help would be much appreciated and I am really hoping that I can continue my relationship with Verizon.
Thank you

AT&T Lacking Basic Customer Service and Accountability

This details the worst customer service for a first time customer that I have ever experienced, attempting to use AT&T service. To sum up the details explained below, my first experience with AT&T service consisted of a supervisor in the support department being unwilling and unable to solve and correct an error caused by AT&T. This lack of service and empathy for a first-time customer ruined the opinion and reputation in the eyes of this young-professional who had planned to give years of business and compensation to their company as I have just bought my first home. I ordered AT&T Uverse Max at Best Buy (using their experience to choose the best provider). I received an email with my PIN number and a confirmation with the internet installation date and time. I did not receive any other calls or emails. The day of installation arrives on Sunday July 26, 2015 (the earliest appointment time, a week after placing the order). No AT&T representative showed up for service within the 2 hour time frame. I made a call to AT&T UVERSE customer service to check up on the status of my installation only to find the customer service department is closed on Sundays. I also made a call to Best Buy to try to obtain any information regarding when the service reps would be out to install the internet, only to be informed that AT&T is solely responsible. Even the Best Buy manager attempted to contact AT&T with no luck. Only after contacting AT&T UVERSE technical support did I get to speak to a human person for 30 minutes. After being transferred to the supervisor, I was told that an error was made in the AT&T order through their system and an account was created without placing a service order. I had waited at my home for 4 hours (cancelling plans) expecting the internet to be installed. I told the supervisor I worked remotely and I needed installation that same day. He informed me that the soonest he could install is August 4, 2015. I proceeded to cancel my service as he was unwilling to help correct the mistake or do anything to remedy the situation.

Rate Apple customer service for me

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

Apple has been rated #1 in customer service for a few years now.
With millions of iTunes customers, ther are bound to be some that have issues.
Usually they are pretty good about getting things sorted out. Respond to the previous email you received and give it 48 hours for a response.
problem I had with an unrecognized charge to my account.
You did call/write your CC company and dispute this charge, correct?

I CAN NOT BELIEVE APPLE OFFERS NO PHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ITUNES USERS!

I have been unable to access my purchased music on my new computer (the old one crashed before I could back up my purchased itunes music). I clicked "check for purchases," and received one of several television shows I purchased and NONE of the dozons of songs and albums. When I clicked "check for purchases" again, a box came up that said "all purchases have been downloaded for this account." Does Apple really not allow you to recover your purchased music in this situation? Does Apple really put profits ahead of customer satisfaction to the extent that they've eliminated phone customer service for itunes altogether? Well, I know the answer to the second question from research is yes. How sad. But can anyone help me with the first Q? Is all my purchased music really gone permanently? Thanks. -Matt

Hi, Matt.
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups.
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/backup/
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

My computer failed. I'm putting CS3 on my new computer. Attempts at Registration encounter "Communication Failure". How do I contact Adobe customer service for assistance?

Bad customer service for my printer

Today, I called HP customer service for an ink failure issue of my printer. I knew that the printer had out of warranty so I want to ask question how to reset the printer. But the customer service representative told me that I am a valued customer so he will assist my problem over the phone fully without any charges. I really appreciated two attempts (Cleaning, Power reset) and he would give me two options of my problem.
Those were basically replacement plans that were $30-$60 less than the new one. Of course, those plans are for the manufactured reconditioned with extra sets of ink cartridges and 2 years warranty if I pay another $1. I couldn’t accept this offer at that time because I need to discuss with my wife, but instead I asked customer representative to call me on later tonight. The customer representative supposed to call me later tonight, but I didn’t get any phone call from HP, so I called HP and I was really surprised how HP change their words. I argued around 2 hrs with switching my phone call to 4 different person, and a lot of waiting time, asking that I got offered. I knew that HP would record all the conversation and never response me about this.
Finally, I found that HP offered me scratched and cosmetic wear printer with guaranteed working. The hardware supervisor gave me this offer and made sure that I am aware of that by reading conditions of printer. Later, I asked for the return policy, and she give me 3 business days. Who is going to buy a $50 less priced printer with a lot of scratches? I know that another sets of ink cartridges will worth to have this offer, but I didn’t because I will disappoint when I first saw the product.
I totally disappointed of customer service how HP changes their offers and words, resulting me wasted more than five hours, including convincing my wife. I regret that I bought so many HP products (computers, printers, and tablets) I will never buy HP products, and I will not recommend HP products because of worst customer service.

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums. I'm sorry but this is a peer-to-peer community of HP customers, and not a venue to contact HP directly. Most of the users here are consumers like yourself who are offering solutions because they like to help others, and any HP employees you see are here on their own capacity and not representing the company.

Lack of customer service etiquette for faulty product

I acquired an Apple MacBook Pro i15 inchi n early 2012 and it performed beautifully until Apple released their latest OS named Mavericks. Upon being advised of Mavericks userbility,I decided to upgrade my OS via Apple's Itunes Store. Suddenly,my machine would not boot up and cuts off during operation. I immediately went to the Apple store,located in NYC Fifth Avenue, only to be informed there would be a surcharge of $310 to repair an hardware issue caused by Apple's software upgrade. Subsequently,an Apple employee followed up with a price compromise of half the original amout stated. My response to Apple is my back up PC which is eight years old has been repaired complimentary free of cost by Sony in the past two (2) years for a faulty battery.
Mark my words Apple,I currently own a $2,000 Apple paperweight and I will never acquire,advise or initiate a friend,foe,associate or colleague to purchase any of your products.
Good luck trying to compete against Amazon's Kindle,Dell's Alienware and last but not least your outsourcing competitor,namely Samsung.(Hint:Their customer service retains their customers) The art of good business is bringing people together.
