Nokia customer service

Is there any way to escalate problems with Nokia customer service? I'm unable (over the last 3 weeks) to make any headway with Ovi email service and am unable to even connect to the voice support.

Thanks, I'm just trying to get an application I bought from the Ovi store (peggle). After a long email exchange with Ovi support, they sent me the application for the Nokia 6300 while I have a 5800 XM. Their telephonic support is quite bad technically (I was disconnected in 4 out of the 7 calls and connected to the wrong language in the other 2) and again they sent me the 6300 version.
So what I would like to do is to raise this to a higher level where they might actually pay atention to what I've written. I've filled out the customer satisfaction survey. Maybe that will help.

Nokia customer service support - Warranty claim fo...

Just finished being online with one of the support staff at Nokia USA's phone number, with a thick mumbling accent, and obviously having a hard time understanding english.
Anyway lens shutter is falling apart, due to build quality issue or design issue, and I've wasted 30 minutes of my life to try to explain to the agent that I need a new back cover/battery cover due to this.
He want's the whole damn phone sent in, and to keep it for 2-3 weeks plus shipping time, and has just spent the last 25 minutes of our lives telling me how to navigate the NokiaUSA website, with incorrect script trying to find his RMA submission request form.
Sometimes its just cheaper to say ok. Nokia could've finished the issue in 5 minutes by taking down my imei, and then saying "we'll send you a replacement cover".
Lord. Is that what we spend $500 on? Nokia warranty service and support is not worth a nickle.

Nokia Repair Center And Customer Service

Hello, I am contacting you today regarding a problem that I have with the repair center. The reason that I am contacting YOU, is because no else (Email support or customer services phone numbers) that I have been dealing with seem to know they are doing, and have not been of much assistance at all.
Now here lies the problem,
I sent my Nokia N-8 in for warranty repair and it was received and (supposedly) repaired and sent back to me on 3-14-11. When I received the phone a couple of days later I noticed that the problem was not fixed. So I repacked it and and sent it back with a note describing the problem with the phone in detail.
It was received and signed for by Salas R at the Forth Worth repair center on 3-21-11.
7 days go by and I notice that the "repair status" of my phone changes from "In queue to evaluated for repair" to "Shipped repair original phone" on 3-14-11.
Now how could my phone be shipped on 3-14 when it wasn't received until 3-21.
This was the old ship date and included with it was the old tracking number.
So begins the emails and phone calls.
Every email reply was very generic and could have been sent to anyone, never answering my questions or making any references to my specific problem. (like they didn't even bother reading my email)
There was no indication of when or how this matter would be resolved, only promises of a phone call that took about 3 days and 2 more emails to come.
When I finally received a call on 4-4-11 The person told me that my phone was shipped to me on 3-30-11 but he did not have any tracking information. He said he would get that information and call me back. He did not. So The following day 4-5-11 I called back and I was told that the person who was handling my case was not in and that he would be in at 12:00 pm
Eastern time and he would call me.
He did not call.
So I called back. Now, I was told that they would have to contact the repair center and find out the status of my phone.
You mean to tell me that I been sending emails and making phone calls for a week and nobody has contacted the repair center to find out what happened to my Phone.
What have they been doing?
So this person does call me back about 10 minutes later and says they have lost my phone and that they would send me a new one, BUT, they don't have any in stock.
So I ask him, why is it that on the Nokia website it shows all colors of the N-8 As "IN STOCK".
His reply was "those are for the sales department".
So you mean that if anyone wants to buy a new N-8 you have one for them, But for me, who's phone YOU LOST, You don't have any.
Nothing for the person that has been without a phone for a month now due to YOUR incompetence.
Now I ask you, Is this how you do business. Is this how Nokia operates. I sent my phone for warranty repair and you lost it. SO REPLACE IT.
I understand mistakes are made. We all make mistakes,
But you have to accept responsibility for them. I just want my phone back.
If you have any interest in helping me with this matter here is some information that might be useful to you.
My case number is: 1-11589768441

Unfortunately my friend, as sad and annoying as your story is, this is a user to user help forum and issues such as yours need to be resolved with Nokia Direct, you can try the contact us section on the web site, or persist with the repair centre that lost your phone, but other than offer sympathy, there is nothing anyone here can do to help you
Good luck, and I hope your replacement arrives quickly !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
you can also help others by marking 'accept as solution'

Custom services in ACS5 to support Nokia/Checkpoint firewalls

Hi all,
on my old ACS 4.1 installation I have custom TACACS+ services to support our Nokia (now Checkpoint) firewalls. Right now I have no chance to add such custom service to ACS5.
Does anyone know if this feature is on the roadmap and when it will be available?
regards
Dirk

Yes. It is also possible to use custom services. However, there is one bug related to authentication with custom services that will be fixed in the next patch for ACS 5.1 (patch 2). Issue is:CSCte16911
Authorization with custom services is working OK

Bad customer service & support for Nokia Penang Se...

Dear All user or top management of Nokia,
I would express my feeling with Nokia Jalan Brawn Service Centre, I was newly brought a Nokia E72 on Dec'2009 and give to my VIP customer as gift, after one month time, he feedback the mic can't function and give back to me for getting the claim and repair, i bring to the communication shop i origin buy the phone to ask for help, this time the sales girl helpping to check, the feedback is the mic is not perform well and the advice to enable the repair be done in a short period, the better suggestion is bring to Nokia service centre. I directly bring to the Nokia center, this time the custmer service had test on the phone & agree that the phone may have the mic problem and told me to bring back the phone after repair by the next day. The outlook of the phone was showing in the good condition. Which can be prove on the job order form, the remark on the warrantee is "1 trans, bp-41(0379), batt cvr, 4 gbmmc"
After the next day, i call up nokia to ask for the status of the phone, the feedback is yet done and ask to call on the next day.
I do call again on the next day, this time the customer service feedback is, the phone only able to recover after two week, this is due to the system module is unfunctional. I have no choice, just only wait for two more week....
After two weeks, i call again, is ready dissapointed, the feedback from the customer service is the Nokia having problem on sending to part.....is out of stock....and need to wait for two more weeks.
Again & again, i call up after two week, the bad result again, there is the wrong system module was order by them, there need to wait until they call me....
This time no time commit from them, therefore i just wait....but it seem like no feedback under a week before chinese new year, i call them, the same feedback is yet received the order from Nokia...
I have a comment with Nikia here, it this the good care to customer buy need to do the replacement in the lastest model by take at least 1 month time.....i was very angry to told the CS, is the phone can't ready before CNY, i will reject the phone. I phone the latest model with the higher price is because is new, i believe the price had depreciate for the two month past time....is meaning less to me for buy the latest model for Nokia phone.
Some 4pm before a day of CNY, i do received a call, ya! this time, the phone had ready for pick up....
On 25 Feb, 2010, 5.30pm, i'm in very happy mood to collect back the phone, after checking on the phone, i get shock....the stanless still case was scatches very were....this time i had inform the customer service, but they keep on argue in very unpolite way & no replacement can make.....

The "top management of nokia" will not see your complaint here.
To get a response from nokia you need to write them a letter or contact nokia care in your country.

In NOKIA, Customer is cared till he buys. After th...

I had recently bought a Nokia N91 handset for Rs 28,000, about 3 months back. Within a week, it had to be dispatched to customer care centre due to malfunctioning. I received the phone back after a month. After a month again, it had to be dispatched to Nokia care centre on 5-Sep-2006. The target date for delivery was 5-Oct-2006. In Nokia, it takes minimum 1 month to repair any phone. The complaint number is 2-1JKT61.
Upon inquiring on helpline about my handset after 10 days, I was told that the new target date is 30-Sep-2006.And, upon inquiring on 30-Sep-2006, they confirmed delivery, and that I could collect the handset from the Nokia care centre. Similarly, SMS status, indicated “Status closed, Send to L3”. It seems Nokia believes, the term L3 is very informational, and satisfies the customer’s query.
Upon reaching the center, I was informed, that they have no information about the delivery of this handset. Further, there was no revert mail about the handset delivery from the head office. It was very encouraging for a person who had just driven 15km drive to the center in just over 1.5 hrs.
I was told to wait another 48 hrs and thereafter, another 12 hrs. I was further assured, that Nokia repair cell would inform me about the handset.
Of course, they has never called till date.
Obviously feeling frustrated, I aggressively inquired on the helpline about the handset. I was asked to behave professionally by the helpdesk of the company. But in events till date, Nokia has not showed professionalism as expected from this company. Further, my monetary investment is blocked due to this negligence.
After personally visiting the Nokia care centre, I am now told, there are scores of cases in this model, and that my case is not so special. And, there will be no refund or replacement.
When challenged about dragging Nokia Customer Care to consumer court, they openly claim that this case will be dismissed from the court without success, and till the case continues, the handset will not be returned.
It seems the Nokia as a company has not only employed good lawyers, but also the judges, who will always deliver the case in their favor. After all, consumer safety laws of this country are not strong enough to teach Nokia a lesson.
I will be moving a petition against nokia in consumer court, and I would request all Nokia handset owners who have suffered the agony of the nokia customer care to unite and fight against this injustice.
In NOKIA, Customer is cared till he buys. After that, who cares !!

I have to say that my experience of Nokia is just the same and it only adds insult to injury when moderators on here patronisingly lecture to the very customers who pay Nokia employee's wages by buying the handsets.
This is a help forum. People may want help on how to formally complain to or about Nokia. I'm afraid moderators and those fortunatel enough not to have suffered at the hands of Nokia's appalling customer service need to be realistic. Nokia cannot have it both ways; they either take customer service seriously and train/remove the idiots they have on their helpdesk or theyt accept that there will be a backlash.
I have exhausted just about every avenue I can think of to recover a handset I have been without now for the fifth week. See 'Beat this' in the Smartphones forum for more info.
I have tried phoning, e-mailing and writing letters. Your phone calls go unreturned. E-mails are replied to usually but in a usually generic and always unhelpful fashion, offering nothing by way of resolution. My letter to Nokia Head Office has gone unanswered. Out of sheer frustration (well you can only believe the usual line 'we're still waiting for a response to X Dept' for so long), I have written to the Board of Directors of Nokia in Finland. Not after though speaking to the MD of CRC, Mr Cameron Radford who also expressed concern that Nokia just refuse point blank to take ownership of a situation they themselves have created.
I had my handset stolen. It was brand new. Despite CRC claiming on insurance with the carrier, UPS, they are not allowed to use the claim to provide a new replacement handset to me. They will only offer a secondhand handset because Nokia insist this is part of the warranty. Because not even a second hand handset was available for me, Nokia saw fit to keep me waiting for weeks even before anyone told me what the cause of the delay was.
I do not understand how a business that is so blatantly inadequate when it comes to basic customer service can be so large. Nokia are an absolute disgrace. If the company took a pride in customer service, instead of 'telling off' those who are so frustrated, they complain on here, they would actual pick up the problem and do something to turn it around.
Nokia...YOU ARE A DISGRACE.

Re. Complain on Nokia Care Services in Chennai, In...

Dear All,
I am one of the Nokia mobile users for the past 5 years. All my family members are using only Nokia mobiles and I also recommended my friends & colleagues to go for Nokia.
I had trust on it before but not now… I am sorry to say that…. Because you people made me to do so.
I am really Sorry to say that I lost all my confidence and faith with NOKIA..
I never had such a worst experience from the NOKIA CARE..
Let me explain the problem..
" I purchases a New Mobile NOKIA - HANDSET - 2630 - BLACK from one of your vendor "UniverCell Telecommunication India Pvt Ltd. Velachery Branch" on March 07, 2008. I came to see that it gets hanged or struck in between very often while using and the mobile becomes stops functioning, then I have to remove the battery and then reset the mobile and then only I have can use it. I thought it might be loose contact or the battery might not properly pack. I very often found that my mobile hanged. On March 09, 2008 I took to the vendor where I bought, they redirected me to NOKIA CARE at Taramani, Chennai they redirected me to NOKIA CARE at TTK Road Alwarpet, Chennai they and again they redirected to NOKIA CARE at Royapetta, (Near Sathyam Theratre) Chennai. See the way of how each service centre palys with the customer. And finially I went to NOKIA CARE on March 27, 2008. (Service Center Details - ROCKY AGENCIES, New No:32, Old No: 10, Thiru Vi Ka Road, Royapetta, Chennai. ASC : 124_343506, Contact Number: 044-42045204, Email Address: [email protected] and MY Job Sheet Number: 124343506/080329/6 Dt: 29/Mar/2008). At first they checked it and told it was a Software Problem, and they reloaded it and gave. After that when I bought the mobile to my home and tried to charge it, I got an error message "Charger Not Supported" and then on March 29, 2008, I took it back to NOKIA CARE, they once again diagnosed that the issue is with the Board, we have to produce it to Head Office and then get rectified. So they took the Mobile and then asked me to come after 2 days, after 2 days when I went to collect my mobile, they told me that Since it a Board problem it will take another a week, and I asked them please inform the correct date so that I can come at right time. (Because I work for an MNC Company _ Hewlett Packard (HP) as a Operation Research Manager, My Home is at Velachery, Chennai and my work place is at Sriucheri, Chennai which is 50 Kms away from city. I used to go my office early around 8 AM and return Home late nights in the evening, so I had hard time to track the status of my mobile) After a week (Today - March 11, 2008) when I especially took leave and approached them they Said it will take another 10 days and it is a issue with Board, so mobile have to replaced. Then I got annoyed and lost my control and I asked the Customer technician over there... to get me the exact date so I will get back to you so that I don't have to come all the way and hearing some excuses, this make me more tensed. Then I requested the service person that please check with your head office and get me the exact information. After wards they told me that NOKIA had stopped manufacturing this model and we don't have it local stores and also in Nokia priority Dealers, So you have to wait for another 10 days. For further information they just asked me to contact Head Office. See I gave the mobile to the NOKIA CARE Center they gave the mobile for servicing it to Head office, And I don't know who to contact & what to ask them...(Because I got a information from one of my colleague these guys give the customer mobile to some local person for serving and they are paid cheaper and also I heard that these technicians uses the customer mobile for there own use saying that they are testing... I don't know how true so far). Then I thought to contact the SERVICE CENTRE MANAGER, they said he will come late so it not possible for you to meet, then I told that I will wait, then they asked me to wait for 15 minutes and they asked me came with a solution that I will get my mobile will be ready by today evening. And asked to come and collect it.. But when I went to the Service Centre evening, they made me to wait for an hour, then came with a Solution that, we got a New replacement mobile for other customer since you are coming often for your mobile, so If you wish you can avail this, then I enquired about the warranty on it, they said it have the warranty what that mobile has, and you will not be covered under any warranty with this, if you come across any problem in future. Then I got tensed and annoyed and then I request for my mobile, again they tried to postpone the days (you have wait for another 10 days), then I requested to give my mobile back or to know the status of it. They just simply asked to contact the Head Office, and they are not giving the head Office address they ask us to contact through phone (3030838) I tired al lot it goes to IVR and get disconnected. And no proper response from the Nokia Care. See the controversy in statement (March 11, 2008).
See I bought a mobile because of the Durability and brand name but... I lost all the Hopes and confidence that they will give my mobile today... Already one month of my warranty gone in service centre and I don't you please give Warranty and Guarantees of your products... I hardly used the mobile for less than 10 days only... but I had terrible and bad experience in customer servicing with the Nokia....Care... Not only me I found most of the people who come for serving face a terrible experience...Like no proper response when we give a call.... or they disconnect the call while speaking... They spoil the name of Nokia...
Note: Important: If I don't receive proper response from this Mail I am going to take severs action against the company through legally and also I am going to publish an article on all the local magazines. And I going to forward this mail to all the over web and also through my company intra net to all of my colleagues those who are working in HP (Hewlett Packard) to higher officials in and around world..
And finally I kindly request you people all those who represent NOKIA to give right Information to customer and commit yourself what you say... Or don’t spoil the Brand name"....
See the loyalty to the customer it not me suffered there are many customer like me….
I need a Solution for this….
If any one of the concern person directly from Nokia contacts me will be highly appreciated…..
Hoping for a reply soon…
With regards,

dear sir,
u are very right that nokia is such a huge name but its customer care is very bad....if i use WORST, it is better suitable for nokia team.
I also bought N73ME on november 2007. i was used alone without any bluetooth or data cable, because frightened from virus. i only transferred some songs in Feb 2008 and i was listening that since then. but in September 2008, my mobile automatically showed MUTE and its loudspeaker has stopped working. i went to Nokia Care, there i spent Rs. 1800.00. They told me that the "B" cover is currupted (they have no reason) so it is not cover under guarantee. I gave him the rupees and got my phone. but in just after one week, got another problem, the phone automatically restart. no matter i was talking or listening the music. I again went to that Nokia Care, there he says that it is a cosmatic problem, so need to change the crystals and number covers. But initially he demanded Rs. 110.00 for "check-up" my mobile. i told him that after repairing the "B" cover, i am facing that problem. So he did not took that Rs. 110.00. he told me to get mobile on the very next day and the cost he told was Rs. 2500.00. I was just fedup that even since it is not completed one year, i am going to spend Rs. 5000.00 onto my mobile . What is this. But i called the Nokia Care on next day, then the mechanic told me that the phone would get me after 7-10 days because it went for repairing. I was not expecting that without my knowledge they would sent my phone. Because in this fast life, we cannot live without mobile in such more days. But i had no choice. I called Nokia Care Phone team on 0124-30303838, and that was my very big mistake. he only gave me another nokia care address and told that he only help like this, nothing more.
I am just fed up all this nuansense and going to convince all the friends, relative and others -- not to buy nokia products ever in life.

To send a mail to Nokia Care, you need to use the mailforms at www.nokia.com/support. All mails going through our global system are directed to the correct contact centre teams based on a code that is automatically added to each mail by the mailform when you send the message, this ensures that your mail is delivered to an agent who is able to handle the particular type of query that you have in the language that you use.
If you try to send a mail from your personal e-mail address directly to one of our Nokia Care addresses, it will not have the code added and therefore our systems will not be able to route it to an agent who can help.

Customer services + Online shop

What do you have to do to get a response from customer services?
So far spent over an hour in the last two days on hold - only to get nowhere....
I'm trying to find out where the N800 I ordered on Thursday (shipped Friday by express delivery) has got to. I can't even get a tracking number...
Getting very annoyed with the poor service

13:44 dialed CS, 30 minutes later... still holding. This is beyond pathetic...
Make that 40 minutes.

Customer Service Assistance

Hi all,
Am writing here because am out of options. I have a N900 which I purchased less than a month ago and am having issues with random reboots and a very bright white patch in the screen about 2~3 mm in diameter. The phone came this way out of the box.
I've contacted customer service and have been told that I need to wait for a phone call so a replacement can be sent to me (am in the United States). I've been waiting now for a week. When I've called back to Nokia I was first told the woman I needed to talk to was busy then I was told she was on break.
I've rebooted and reflashed to no avail, it just needs to be replaced. At first I was told it needed to be repaired, however I don't think going without a phone for several weeks is appropriate for a device that costs the same as a laptop. I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but Nokia USA customer care is atrocious.
Does anyone know who I can contact to get things rolling?
Any assistance is appreciated,
Charley

First thing.. if your phone is randomly rebooting..
turn it off then back on.. NOW.. seriously..
Now, keep reading..
Have you upgraded your phone's firmware? If not, you're probably running 1.2009.42 and suffering from a stability problem that affected many users. The firmware causes the phone to reboot.. and upgrading the firmware will almost certainly fix it..
If you don't upgrade the firmware this could happen:
there is a counter in your phone that goes up by 3 every time it randomly reboots... when the counter reaches 50 (that's 17 random reboots in a row) it will stop booting..
to reset the counter, you MUST power the phone off using the power button as per normal.. then power back on..
see this massive thread about this problem..
/t5/Maemo-Devices/Help-for-N900-that-randomly-reboot-and-that-have-stopped-booting/m-p/593949
You don't need to run the work around in the first post, just upgrade your firmware and you'll be fine

I am having an issue regarding a placed order via customer service department

I recently relocated to Anchorage Alaska as part of a permanent change of station per the United States Air Force. I was initially located on the East Coast in the lower 48 and at the time of activating my contract I had purchased two separate Iphone 4 devices. I also recently went in to a store in February to purchase a Nexus 7 as well.
Upon arrival in Anchorage I had multiple issues regarding the Iphone 4 devices including being unable to send and receive text messages & imessages, unable to make phone calls, dropped phone calls, unable to utilize GPS, as well as not being able to access general account information and use anything related to web browsing or data usage. It was determined that because the Iphone 4 operates on the 3g network and Verizon does not have a 3g network in Alaska, as a result I was utilizing an extended service network from another carrier. As a result of this I am only able to use my Iphone 4 devices while connected to my wi-fi network while within my home, which is totally unacceptable.
I was not made aware that I would be dealing with this when I moved to Alaska and inquired as the the use of the devices I currently owned prior to purchasing the tablet. I was assured by three separate store employees one of which being a manager that all devices would function at 100% efficiency including the Iphone 4s. In fact I was recently billed 350$ for roaming charges last month, which prompted me to speak with a representative via the online chat regarding the significant increase she said that she was unable to process any sort of credit to the account regardless of what I had been told at a local Verizon store where I purchased the tablet.
As a result of all of these mishaps since arriving here in Alaska I determined I was in need of newer devices that utilize the 4G LTE network currently provided by Verizon in Alaska. I know for a fact that the 4G LTE works great up here because my Nexus 7 tablet runs flawlessly and does not incur roaming charges when utilizing the 4G LTE network.
Yesterday I attempted to contact Verizon through the live chat feature regarding upgrading two of the devices on my account. The live chat representative immediately asked me when my upgrade date was. Upon telling her my upgrade date 9/29/2014 she told me I should contact the customer service department as I might be eligible for an early upgrade. I then proceeded to contact the customer service department using my Iphone 4.
My attempt to speak to anyone in the customer service department resulted in a merry-go-round of being put on hold 6 separate times by two different employees, both of which had me wait for more than an hour while they attempted to speak to a manager to gain approval for an early upgrade. The first rep seemed almost sure she would be able to have my devices upgraded early especially considering the issues I was having regarding service.
The second rep seemed newer and was very dodgy about my questions and was very unwilling to help at first. He even mentioned that I had been a Verizon customer for almost two years, had never missed a single payment and had outstanding account history which should have garnered some sort of importance to the level of my request. But I digress, during this time I was disconnected from the call twice from each separate representative.
Both reps assured me they would call me back, I never did get a call back from either one of those reps and I was becoming very frustrated having waited four hours trying to find some sort of solution to my current predicament.
After waiting an hour for the second representative to call back I grew impatient and contacted the customer service department, was put on hold again, and finally reached a third customer service representative who was able to provide a solution for me.
I explained everything I had been dealing with to Cory ID # V0PAC61, both regarding the phones, the issue of the level of service I was receiving, the dire need for working devices and the multiple times I had been disconnected. I explained to him as a result of these issues I was certainly considering switching to a different provider, a local provider even who could provide me the adequate service that I require for my mobile devices.
I explained to Cory that I had been with Verizon for almost two years, and I had been on a relatives account prior to owning my own Verizon account and had never received this kind of treatment when trying to work towards a simple solution. Cory proceeded to tell me he needed to put me on hold to see if there was anything that could be done regarding the upgrades of the device considering all of the trouble I had been dealing with.
After Cory reconnected with me in the phone call he was able to successfully reach a solution by allowing me to upgrade my devices. We conversed about the options available and I eventually decided to upgrade both Iphone 4 devices to Moto X devices as we determined those would be sufficient for my needs while in Alaska. I also proceeded to add two Otter Box Defender cases to the order so that the devices would have sufficient protection. Cory inquired as to whether or not I would like to purchase insurance for the phones as well and I opted for the $5.00 monthly insurance which including damage and water protection.
Cory explained to me the grand total for the devices which included an activation fee of $35.00 for each device, $49.99 for each Otter Box case, and an additional $50.00 for each device which would be refunded as a rebate upon receipt of the devices and activation, a rebate that I would be required to submit. Cory explained to me that the devices would most likely arrive Tuesday of 6/17 and no later than Wednesday 6/18.
Cory took my shipping information and told me everything was all set and the only thing left to do was to transfer me to the automated service so that I could accept the 2 year agreement for both devices. I thanked him very much, took his name and ID# so that I might leave positive feedback about his exemplary customer service and was then transferred to the automated service.
Once transferred to the automated service I was then prompted to enter both telephone numbers for the devices that would be upgraded, I was then required to accept the new 2 year agreement for both devices and after doing so I was required to end the call. I did so in an orderly fashion and expected a confirmation # to arrive in my email regarding the placed order.
I have never received a confirmation email. I decided to sleep on it and assumed a confirmation email would be sent sometime tomorrow. Nothing has since been received however. I woke up early this morning around 6AM Alaska time to speak to another live chat representative, Bryan, in the billing department who assured me the order was currently processing and verified the order #. I asked him whether or not it was typical for a customer to not receive a confirmation email for an order placed and he said it can sometimes take up to 2-3 business days. He then stated that he had taken note of the issues I was experiencing and told me he would transfer me to the sales department as they would be able to provide more information regarding the shipment of both devices and a confirmation email, as he stated he did not want me to have to wait any longer than necessary to receive said devices.
I was then transferred to Devon in the sales department via the live chat service where I was then required to repeat everything I had said to both Bryan and the other representatives I had spoken too. After a lengthy discussion and repeating everything I have just wrote he told me the order was indeed processing and that he would send a confirmation email in the next 30 minutes.
That was 2 hours ago. It is now 8am Alaska time and I still have not received a confirmation email regarding my order. I was sent an email by Verizon an hour ago stating I had a device to "discover". The email contained no information regarding the shipment of my device, the order confirmation number, or anything regarding my account. The email I received was a typical spam email asking an individual to check out the current available phones and sign up for a new contract.
All I want is a confirmation email to assure that the devices are being sent. I need my phone for work and to communicate with my family in the lower 48. I desperately need to make sure that the device is in fact being sent to the proper address, this is why a confirmation email of the order is so important. I do not care about the shipping speed I just want what I ask to be taken care of for a change. I would hate to sit here unable to determine what the status of my devices are only for the order to be stuck in "processing" limbo and be unable to receive the devices when I was told they would be sent.
I feel I have been given the run around treatment way more than is typically given with any company when an individual is trying to work towards a solution. I have been patient and cordial with everyone I have spoken with, I have not raised my voice or shown stress or anger towards the situation I have only tried my best to work towards a solution with anyone I have spoken too but I am becoming increasingly frustrated with this situation.
Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. This situation has left a sour taste in my mouth and if the devices were indeed not actually processed in an order, or they were not shipped correctly, or in fact if the order had never existed at all it will only deter me from keeping my Verizon account active and affect my decision to switch to another provider.

Hello APVzW, we absolutely want the best path to resolution. My apologies for multiple attempts of replacing the device. We'd like to verify the order information and see if we can locate the tracking number. Please send a direct message with the order number so we can dive deeper. Here's steps to send a direct message: http://vz.to/1b8XnPy We look forward to hearing from you soon.

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

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

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

Yet Another Customer Service Complaint

For at least the past ten years, I have been a Verizon Wireless customer, & until recently, I have never had an issue with the company. Their plans have great pricing, the coverage in my area is impeccable, & the representatives in the store have always been more than willing to meet customer satisfaction.
Until recently, that is. Last year, I upgraded my phone to the LG Rival, after my LG EnV was clearly out of date & useless to me. This is where the issues begin. Clearly, like any young adult, I purchased the insurance on the phone since accidents & loss are bound to happen. By the time summer rolled around, my Rival was having extreme software issues, due to no fault of my own. The phone would often freeze, the screen would glitch out, resembling a TV static screen, the phone would underline random words in red, it wouldn’t hold a charge, the phone would shut off or restart itself for no reason or in the middle of a text or phone call, or it would completely shift the screen to the left or right so that only half of the screen was visible.
I took it into the store of course & was informed that the insurance program had switched over to Asurion, & I would have to file a claim with them & wait the specified number of days for a new [aka refurbished] phone to arrive in the mail. Fine, I could deal with that, three days wasn’t too long of a wait to continue to deal with the piece of crap I was holding in my hand.
My refurbished phone arrived, I shipped the old one back to them, & all seemed well. Until two weeks later, when the refurbished phone started showing the same symptoms as the first. First the charge started failing to hold. Next came the shutting off & restarting, followed by the screen shifting. Once again, I returned to the store. Went through the same motions, filed the claim, waited three days, & was once again gifted with a refurbished version of the EnV.
Can you guess what was happening two weeks later? I’m sure you can. I went through this five times. *Five*. By the fifth time, they were completely disregarding what information I was giving them in the store, & had simply started shipping a new battery pack. Through November & December, I was in the store every few days, sometimes multiple times a day, seeing as I was not the primary phone holder or account holder. I was continually given attitude, shifted from person to person, & blown off.
I’m used to this kind of treatment. I’m a twenty-one year old female with a mohawk, facial piercings, & tattoos. In the beginning, never once was I rude, irate, or anything other than courteous, laying out my plight in brief & to-the-point conversations, & simply asking for help. Towards the end, I had started making it clear that I was sick of being [Edited to comply with Terms of Service] around, that I was a long-standing customer who until recently had no issues with their service, & that I expected the situation to be remedied. What kind of service was I paying for anyways?
It finally boiled down to I could either cancel my contract early, having to pay the fees, or I could buy a new phone at my own expense. My mother, who is the account owner, had finally had just as much as I had, & went into the store with me. Just as I had before, she laid out our problems, was calm with a business-like manner, & wouldn’t you just know it, she was treated much more receptively than myself & offered a different array of options. We ended up using the up-grade available on her line to acquire a Kin-Two for myself, since the available free Wi-Fi at hot spots was something that would [hopefully] end some of the hidden fees I had been receiving with my Rival. We extended our contract & once again purchased insurance on the device.
A little over a month ago, on January 19th, we were once again hit with a larger-than-expected bill due to data charges. I will accept this as my fault; a little too much status-updating. She called customer service to have a data plan added to my phone. All should be just fine, correct?
On February 4th, I was at a club with some friends & my phone was misplaced. Whether it was taken, slipped from my pocket, sat down somewhere, the reason is irrelevant. Point is I didn’t have it. We contacted Ansurion to file the claim, & they would not accept it. According to their records, on January 19th, the insurance on my phone was canceled, the same day we had the data plan put on it. We were told to contact Verizon. After doing so, we were informed that they couldn’t name the representative for us who canceled the insurance, because their system does not keep those kind of records. Now began the telephone shifting, from one representative to another as they very nearly refused to let us speak to a supervisor as requested. All we wanted was the insurance reinstated on the phone so that I could get another Kin-Two.
They informed us that they no longer sold the Kin-Twos, nor did they have any refurbished ones in stock. They said that if they re-instated the insurance [which we would have to pay for] they couldn’t guarantee what phone would be sent, but that I would receive a new phone. No, I didn’t want to be sent a phone that would require a data plan simply to work, nor did I want some outdated phone that would just continue to glitch out a few weeks after receiving, as was clearly the issue in the past. They recommended we call our local store to see if they had any Kin-Twos in stock.
Guess what our final options were? After speaking to the representative there, we were told that we could either purchase a new Kin-Two in the store at $430. Excuse me? I only paid $75 for the phone to begin with. Next option. I could wait until May when another of the lines under our names was eligible for an upgrade. Going four months without a phone? Not happening. Or, we could purchase a different phone, once again at our own expense.
I will admit that by this point, the two of us were pretty peeved. We asked what the cost would be to simply cancel the contract & take our business else where. $95 to cancel just my line, $365 to cancel all three lines. Both options were cheaper than buying a new phone, new insurance & extending my contract once again. Now, I know what some of you out there are thinking.
“You were given multiple options to work with, & you chose to disregard each option.”
With the experience & treatment I have received in the past year, & how often I have had to threaten to cancel my contract in order to receive any kind of help what-so-ever, so be it. I would rather pay $95 dollars & take my business elsewhere - say MetroPCS or Cricket where you can get unlimited everything for less than $50 a month. I’m not going to make my family suffer through the cancellation fees & start-up fees elsewhere since they both adore their phones & have no issues with them.
That doesn’t mean that I am not greatly **bleep** off, insulted, & dissatisfied with what I have had to deal with. I don’t know exactly what policy changes have been made within the company from recent mergers & such, but the website’s claim of “Expect the best customer service at every turn from our employees,” is complete & utter rubbish. The customer service we have dealt with in the past few months has been nothing but, & excuse my French, complete **bleep**.
I *will* be cancelling my contract & taking my business elsewhere, & you can bet I will be informing anyone thinking of switching to Verizon of my experience. Friends of mine have been dropping Verizon left & right due to the fact that just because you offer great coverage & plans, doesn’t mean that you can treat the people paying you their money each month like trash. For those who continue to adore Verizon, just wait.

Absolutely Horrible Customer Service - both in the store and the 800 number.
My phone quit working - not my fault. I was suppose to get a replacement overnight and if for some reason it didn't arrive overnight, I was assured that it would be delivered Saturday. Today is Monday, no phone. They put the wrong address on the shipping form and they don't know when I will get it.
They won't send another one because there is a phone out there and they have to get it back first. They know I don't have it. Ridiculous!
Why don't they have replacement phones in the store. Option 1: phone breaks, go to store and get replaced same day. Option 2: phone breaks, wait for phone to arrive in mail and hope it is the next day. One is more convenient for the customer and the other is more convenient for Verizon. Seriously - It's not brain surgery.
The lack of concern among the 3 Verizon employees I spoke with was unbelievable. "This is just the way we do things. There is nothing I can do to help you." The store manager doesn't know how Verizon's replacement service works or how long it takes for them to notify FedEX to correct the delivery mistake and get the phone to me! "I can't control FedEX." No but you're the reason they delivered the phone to the wrong address. Rep had the nerve to tell me he would "correct the address mistake IF I wanted him to." Under what circumstance would I not want him to????? Absolutely, no acceptance of responsibility!!!
Cell phone companies should not be allowed to require two year contracts but should have to provide month to month service. They KNOW they don't have to treat you well or provide service with these long term contracts. They know you have no recourse.

Apple Customer Service and warranty exceptions

Hello all,
Whilst I love my Apple hardware and software, and have had many good experiences with them over the years, unfortunately I post today with a complaint about what I perceive to be poor customer service and product quality.
In late March/early April of 2006, I purchased a 1.83GHz MacBook Pro with great anticipation- Intel inside, Tiger OS, inbuilt webcam, and general awesomeness all round. I also purchased the 3 year AppleCare warranty, which was to be a godsend as during the following three years I would experience:
*The replacement of the battery under the original MacBook Pro battery exchange program
*The left fan on the unit dying in 2007
*The logic board itself dying in late Feb/Early March 2008, thus bricking my laptop
*Another battery replacement as the replacement for the original died before it (realistically) should have (Apple very nicely made an exception to the battery's 1 year technical warranty and replaced it for me).
Fair enough, it's a new unit and was bound to have some problems. Unfortunately, last week the logic board died AGAIN; a mere 18 months after it was replaced in 2008. The unit is out of AppleCare warranty by 5 months or so, but I was urged by forumites and friends to call Apple, who would surely make an exception for me and pay for the replacement part, given my service history with the laptop and Apple's reputation for excellent customer service.
Unfortunately, this has proved to not be the case. Calling customer service at Apple Australia I talked to Steven, who was firm to the point of rudeness when he stated that my laptop was out of warranty and Apple would cover nothing but the labour charges involved, as a "guesture of good will". When stretched, he offered me a $125 voucher if I wanted to purchase anything over $400 in the Apple store, and stressed he didn't have to do this but the company was attempting to provide good service to its customer.
Despite my argument that I forked out over $3000 for this laptop a mere three years ago and am now looking at over $1000 to repair something replaced only 18 months ago, his line was that Apple provided a warranty and that was simply that (apart from a month or two grace). Five months is apparently "far outside the warranty period".
I received no challenge to my assertion that after buying something which cost over $3000, it was reasonable for Apple to expect a consumer to pay an extra $1000 every year after the warranty finishes to replace a broken logic board. In truth, I find this near incomprehensible, considering one can buy the supposedly inferior build quality of a Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc and see it last not just beyond the warranty but another two or three years before it finally suffers something terminal.
While from a warranty perspective Apple are well and truly within their rights to refuse to pay for the part, at the end of the day I am left to pay $1000+ for a repair for something which may only last another 12 months, plus $3500+ for a new Macbook Pro with AppleCare if I want a replacement- minus of course the $125 they are offering.
I did some reading of the ACCC's website about my statutory rights and the Trade Practices act, and I note the following with interest:
*Statutory conditions (goods)*
The Trade Practices Act implies the following statutory conditions into consumer contracts:
* The goods must be of merchantable quality. That is, they must meet a basic level of quality and performance, taking into account their price and description. They also should be free from defects that were not obvious to you at the time of purchase.
* The goods must be fit for their purpose. That is, they should do what they are supposed to do and be suitable for any purpose that you might have made known to the supplier.
* The goods must match the description you were given or the sample you chose from. For example, any carpet laid must be the same quality and colour as the sample you chose from.
* You must receive clear title to the goods, including goods bought at auction. In other words, you can expect to own the goods outright and any restriction on ownership should be explained to you beforehand.
While I don't particularly want to make a big deal of things, I hardly see $3000+ for three years use and $1000 each year thereafter to be merchantible quality or fit-for-purpose! This is supposed to be a high end laptop with excellent build quality, and yet I've a secondhand iBook that has been chugging for longer without issue than this machine!
I told Steven from Customer Service that his offer didn't satisfy me in the slightest, and still put me in an awkward position with regards to repair and repurchase. He simply wouldn't budge, and refused to see things from my point of view (which another operator, Anu, was able to do and thus produce a much better response from myself). I have since asked to speak to his manager which- after initial resistance- I have been able to secure a future callback from. I have no idea how well discussions with he/she will go.
What I'd like to hear from you guys and girls is your experience with similar situations, and whether you think I've a leg to stand on with regards my replacement request or the ACCC stuff above. Again, I love my Apple products but I hardly think asking them to replace the part while I pay for labour is a big ask, given the service history and my desire to continue buying and using their products.
Love to hear your points of view on this one; thanks for taking the time to read it!
Cheers,
Dave.

Dear meacod
I have live the same, except that I Cure my MBP before it goes to die.
A lot of older participants here just talk about Aplle care, which seem the automatic thing in front of a lack of real good quality on Apple products .
But I think we pay the price, and my second hand MBP was much more expensive than a brand new PC with more ram, more Hard disk, and even a blue ray...
I don't know your mbp history, but that's sure that we are not equal, in world, with Apple customer support. France is not so great, I don't know for your country.
The only thing I think is that Apple should take care of us, as we have some unacceptable issues, for An Apple Product...
Since 1996, when Apple was almost dead, saved by Bill Gates investment !!! , I have every year promote it, and it was not easy, but I have bring to Apple between 3 to 10 customers each year..
since One year, I have stop that, because I don't believe anymore in Apple product's superiority .
Oh, yes, on the paper, it's better, the system is really good. But the overall experiment can be so bad that I don't want to loose friends, or customers...
I don't say it's always bad : I just say that it CAN BE SO BAD and that Apple DON'T take care of that...
so, for your computer, open it, check it a lot, may be it's too late, but for instance, you talked about a fan, I have solved that case just by putting oil on the fan's axe...
good luck
