Terrible Printer! Terrible Customer Service!

I purchased a HP Photomsart printer not even 2 years ago, and now my printer is constantly failing to print black. I have changed, per HP's instruction, and wasted black ink cartridges, and manually cleaned the tray. However, whenever I call, all I hear "you're out of warrenty," and "what did you do to cause this problem?" Really? Why is this MY problem? Every customer servicer representative , who has been male, has talked to me like I'm an ignorant woman who can't work a printer. There is NO excuse for after only two years for my black ink to stop working and the print quality to be junk when my printer is not abused and used maybe 2 to 3 times a week, if that. Then to speak to me and blame me for the problem in such a disrepectful manner is completely unacceptable!
I can promise that this will be the LAST HP product I will ever purchase! Tread lightly for those of you who continue to buy for them.

Hi Sara108,
Do you still have the printer? If you still have it, please check to see if you have completed all of the steps in the following document; Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
Although I hope this resolves the issue, it might not. If the issue persists, please post back with your warranty status. Use the following link to check your warranty.
If your printer is still in warranty, please call HP and explain the issue you are experiencing. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

Terrible delivery and customer service

My fridge broke so I went to the best buy in Roseville CA to get a new one on friday 10/17/14. Found an open box one that my wife and I liked and negotiated a deal for about $1887 total (that included 5 yr geed squad). They say it will be delivered on thursday the 23 and they will call the day before to set up delivery time. Wednesday comes around and no call so I call about 7:30 pm to schedule. After I spent about 45 minutes getting transfered around and on hold, they tell me I cancelled the order on Saturday and need to come in and re-purchase. (Suprise to me since I made no said call). My wife goes in and they said it was a computer error. For us to purchase the fridge we chose, they would have to send it back up to the store and re-sell it to us and that would take atleast another week. So instead of doing that, they opt to sell us a new one for the same price and say it will be delivered on the monday the 27th. Sunday morning comes around and I receive a call (at least) saying it will not be delivered on monday and it has been moved to wednesday the 29th. Sunday evening, I receive a call saying it will be delivered monday between 11am and 3pm. I have to take an hr off work to wait for them and they never showed up. I receive another call that night saying tuesday, it never shows. Get a call tuesday night saying wednesday is cancelled and need to be scheduled to friday. My wife goes back down to the store wednesday night and they inform her that the order has been cancelled for the 2nd time. They find another open box of the same fridge and they inform my wife that they are throwing in the warranty and installation for free. That drops the price to around $1600. They also arrange to have their magnolia van and a couple guys deliver it instead of using the appliance people. On thursday the 30th, I finally receive my fridge, with no screws to put the handles on. I go in on the 31st to see if I can get some screws, and they say they have to be ordered and wil be about a week. I wait 3 weeks and return on november 21st to ask about the screws. Stil no screws have came in, so a worker goes and pulls them off another unit and gives them to me to put on myself. That friday night, I go back in to talk to them about my credit card bill for the fridge. They did not take off the warranty or the instillation and it is the original price of $1887. I explained this to them, and their response was since I got such a good deal to take it or I can return it. After 6 weeks of not having a complete fridge and was told one thing, they did not live up to anything they told me about. Oh and my $135 installation charge was for 1 magnolia installer and the store security guard plugging it in and screwing on the water line. I guess thats professional instillation for them. I have not received a single call from the delivery people or any type of apology. None of the managers came to speak with us while in store. They used their staff as a go between. Supposedly one of the employees sent and email to the delivery service to argue on or behalf, but I'm not holding my breath. He said they would call today, surprise no call. Will never shop there again and I am telling everyone who will listen my story.

Hello rhinrich,
I apologize for my extremely tardy reply, and for the long and complex process and numerous missteps in getting your refrigerator delivered. What you have described is not the superior level of service to which we aspire!
It's been several days since your message. Have you been in touch with the store leadership any more regarding this issue?
While I understand how you reached this determination, I am still disheartened to read that this experience may influence your future shopping destination. It is my hope that you will one day give Best Buy another chance to win you over.
Please know that I'm very grateful that you took the time to write to us about your situation.
Sincerely,

THEFT, SHODDY SERVICE, WORTHLESS CUSTOMER SERVICE!

This odyssey began on Monday, February 7, 2011. I called HP and ordered an power adapter and cord for my PhotoSmart printer. All went well, my order was "confirmed" and I was told I would receive it by February 11th. Thirty minutes later I received an email saying that HP was not able to process my order. I called back about this, the order was redone, long story short, three(3) times I placed the order and it was confirmed over the phone and rejected , via email, all three times.
On the fourth try I was given profuse apologies and told I would be sent the items free of charge. I was then contacted by my credit card company about a number of charges from HP, $30.14 and $5,00..., I then called HP and was given a 4 hour run around by Parts and Custoomer Service, I was told that the adapter "was" shipped/sent out on the first order, but not the cord. I questioned why I was not informed of this via emal. I was told that "they-Nelson Lopez-Parts" did not know.
I was then told no refund/credit would be issued until the part was returned. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was put on hold and "lost". When I recalled I was told it would take 24-48 hours for a representative to get back to me. Meanwhile, now I have a outstanding bill for $35.00 on my credit card for a duplicate part and I will have to take time and money to send it back to get a refund.
I was going to buy a HP computer this month but due to the terrible ordering and customer service issue will never buy another HP product in life. I consider it theft when you are told no order is made yet money is taken off your credit card.
What do you think? I would be interested in any other non-customer service issues/horror stories regarding HP, it is sad when one spends four hours to clear up an error made for $35.00. The customer service program is a joke. No one can do anything for you, or will do anything.

All I did was ask a question via email, and a customer service rep cancelled my entire pre-order

So the other day I emailed bestbuy.ca customer service to ask them a question related to my E3 pre-order. Included in the order was a Ps4 Nyko Type Pad, and I asked if it is possible to cancel this single item in the order, and if it was, to do so.
Key to note that included among this E3 pre-order was a PS4 Fall-Out 4: Pip-boy edition, which is now sold out across North America.
The customer service rep took it upon himself to play trial and error with this order instead of actually knowing what he was doing and ended up cancelling the entire order and losing me my Pip-Boy Edition.
I have been emailing endlessly trying to explain how this is a bigger mistake than they are making it seem and have only gotten responses asking me to do something about it, not Bestbuy fix their mistake.. absolutely terrible customer service.
This was the question I asked (a), and the initial response I received (b).
(a) my initial question
Is it possible to cancel only one item of this pre-order? I would like to cancel the Nyko Type Pad if possible, but not any of the other items.
(b) First bestbuy.ca response
Dear ______,
Thank you for contacting Best Buy Canada regarding Order #
We are sorry but when we tried to cancel the game in the order it doesn't work. When we tried to cancel it in second attempt it does, however your whole order got cancelled. We sincerely apologized for the inconvenience this has caused you.
We kindly ask you to place another order online for all the games in the order and we will adjust the price if there are changes. You can also call 1-866-237-8289 options 1, 1, 3, and 2. One of our representatives will happy to place an order for you.
Thank you for choosing Best Buy Canada. We look forward to serving you in the future.
Sincerely,

Further emails have only received predictable copy and paste responses, explaining that Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition is out of stock, and to check local stores. Completely ignoring the issue I was raising.
My second email
This is absolutely in excusable and needs to be fixed on your end.
One of the items in the pre-order that you cancelled has been sold out online almost since it was made available (Fall Out 4: Pip-Boy Edition, Playstation 4). Now that you have cancelled the order I have no way of receiving this item. It is sold out in every location. How is this going to be fixed?
Second bestbuy.ca response
Dear ____,
We have received your email regarding the stock availability of Fall Out 4: Pip-Boy Edition, Playstation 4 on Bestbuy.ca.
Our website does show this product as ‘Sold Out’. It is possible that we will receive more stock of this item however we are not sure when as there are no pending purchase orders through the vendor. As such, we are unable to provide any details as to when we may have stock available for online purchasing.
Our online inventory is pulled from different inventory than your local store, so provided the item is not a web only item, they may have available stock. Try using the store stock check (on the Product Detail Page) to view stock availability or contact your local store directly.
Thank you for choosing Bestbuy.ca
Sincerely,

Great reading comprehension. The email wasnt about the availability of the game, the email was about the mistake made by a customer service rep. And no, no more stock is being made available, as Bethesda has said so. Just a terrible, terrible case of customer service.
Consider me, a lost, long-time, customer.

Very sorry to hear about this !
If you haven't had a resolution to this matter over the weekend, please send me a private message with your order number and contact details. I'd be happy to escalate to our Customer Experience team here.
Best,

Terrible customer service from Brendan at Telstra Bourke St Melbourne

Hi All,
Just thought I would ask your advice concerning repairs to my Iphone I requested from Telstra.
The phone is great and I love it, my only problem is that it no longer turns on anymore.
I took it to the shop where I bought it on (yep I lined up to buy it the day they were released ), the really flashy Telstra shop in the Bourke Street Mall. I got one of the techs on the front desk to look at it. He then took it to the head tech guy and he came back and said they would not repair or replace the phone under warranty. He said that it had a 'disturbed liquid submersion indicator at the bottom'.
I have never droped it into water the whole time I have owned it, but I do travel overseas to humid areas so that may have set off the 'submersion indicator' to make the techs think that I dropped it into a puddle when I have never done that.
Obviously, its a real pain, not having a phone for even a day, so I asked what my options were. I was told that the 'apple warranty is void and repair/exchange can not be carried out and the replacement cost for an 8gb for $670'.
The quotes above are from what is typed on my Service Repair Order.
I asked was it possible to send the phone to Apple to be inspected, and they advised that it was not, and that my only option was to purchase a new phone, and that I had two options. Firstly, if I surrendered my old phone, a replacement would be issued for $670. Secondly, I could simply purchase another iphone 'outright' for a cost of $726.
I tool the second option, and have a brand new phone, although I am disapointed that I now have an almost new phone that simply stopped working that is now used as a paperweight.
I tried everything to minimise the cost of getting a working iphone, and after talking to the lead tech, he then got the store manager to discuss my options.
Brendan said he was the store manager, and eventually let me know his name after first stating 'I dont have to give you my name' and eventually told me his employee number was 0238895.
He spent over an hour checking the situation while I waited, but would not put anything in writing except some notes in the section related to the 'reported problem' on the Service Repair Order.
Is the advice that Brendan from Telstra gave me correct, and was it necessary for me to purchase another brand new handset for $726?
If anyone has any questions I can be contacted on <Edited by: Host>
Kind regards
Wayne B

See the response that I provided to Tamara regarding the recent change to the policy.
You might want to print the new version of the policy and bring your receipt and go back to Telstra and see if they will consider an adjustment, i.e. you return your brand new iPhone, they swap it for a refurbished iPhone and credit you with the difference in price.
I actually fail to see where you received "Terrible customer service from Brendan" as stated in your title.

Contract mis-sold. Terrible customer service from a supervisor-no clear way to make a complaint

After being a good customer for a year and a Verizon Wireless customer for 5 years, numerous issues with Verizon Fios have surfaced.
1) Representative totally mis-informed about the contract
When I took out a contract with Verizon FIos a year ago, I had not wanted to have a contract because they only option available was for 2 years and I knew that the lease for my apartment was only for 1 year and in all likliehood I would be moving. I was told by the representative that there would be no problem if I took out a 2 year contract because I could simply transfer the existing contract to wherever I moved with no issue.
Fastforward a year and I'm moving, call Verizon to make the transfer and i"m told, that actually i'm effectively cancelling my existing contract and re-starting as a new customer. This means that my bundle has gone up $10 a month and I would have to start another 2 year contract.This completely contradicts what I was told a year ago. I would never have taken out the 2 year contract if I had known this.
2) Terrible customer service from someone who is a supervisor
This morning I spoke to a representative and after she said she couldnt address my concerns about being mis-sold the contract, I asked to speak with a supervisor. How he handled the call was incredibly unhelpful and rude - I dont understand how someone at a supervisor level can have that kind of attitude. First he tried to indicate that it was my fault for not being clear with the representative last year (before he knew the full facts), he did not take show any recognition that being mis-informed about a contract is a significant issue. When I asked him how to make a complaint he told me to go to verizon.com/contact. I did this while I was on the phone with him and told him that there was no clear way to make a complaint, I was told "I am a supervisor, I cant sit here on the phone with you and take you through it step by step" - I was not asking for step by step help, I assumed that as a supervisor he would know which wa the right section to click on. He then basically made it sound like I was an idiot and I was told that every other customer seems to find it intuitive (which judging by other comments on this forum about the contact piece of the site is not actually true).
3) Impossible to file an official complaint through normal channels
There is no email address to which you can send a complaint (according to the team on the phone). On the verizon.com/contact page, there is no option for making a complaint. When you type in a question about making a complaint nothing comes up. This seems ridiculous and makes it seem like Verizon is not interested in hearing customers feedback.

Apple customer service/support = terrible

There is no where else for me to do this really, so I thought I'd rant here...
I received an ipod (20G 4th gen) last christmas from my parents, amazing present i'm sure you'd agree! everything has been great with it until 2 weeks ago when it just stopped working for no reason. I got up to go to work, switched on ipod and nothing except a folder and a warning icon.
no problems really I thought reboot it, no effect. reset, ditto. Plugged it into my mac everything appeared fine. I can drag and drop files from it, listen to tunes on it, everything as normal. So I unplugged it. back to warning screen. I decided to factory restore, which went fine. But if I unplug it it just goes back to the warning screen.
So I went on a wee trip to the local apple place, who sent it off to their repair people...but it is returned 'cos it is out of warranty by 3 weeks, turns out my parents bought the thing in september for some reason...
Anyway I decided to phone apple support but they are just no help at all, appalling english so that i could barely understand the two service people that I ended up speaking to and basically they tell me that there is nothing I can do except give them £170 and they'll give me a new ipod...now this is just not an good. It is their product that has gone wrong. why should I pay? The original service people that it got sent to noted that there is no visible damage on the outside, ie it has not been dropped...if they open it up they'll see that there is no damage on the inside from beinging in water or anything (cos it hasn't been in water) so bascially 3 weeks out of the one year warranty but after only 10 months or so of use the ipod has stopped working through no fault of my own and somehow I am expected to pay!!!!
How can they do this? It is just really really terrible customer service. I have gone from always being a mac customer with all Macs in my office and home to never ever going to buy one of their products ever again! I am so dissappointed, just can't believe it...now where is that Sony brochure?
Rant over.

I feel for you, I have just sent my 40gb 4th gen ipod to be repaired for the third time, I was fortunate in that i have applecare. However you may still be afforded some protection by the Scottish Law which is far superier to the laws of our colonial subjects, Apple have to comply the 'Sale of Goods Act' which basically says if Apple are selling ipods that are only meant to last about a year, and have told you so then fair enough, but if it is generally consider that such a device should last longer they maybe liable to repair or a replacement particularly if you can show that these products are prone to failure i.e. there is a inherent flaw/fault in the design and operation (the keep freezing)in the product. So contact Trading Standards and checkout the goverment website www.gov.uk
Good Luck

Fed up with the terrible customer service.

I'm so fed up with Verizon's terrible customer service. My DVR started going out last week. I figured that now would be a good time to get the new 500gb DVR that all of the new customers get to have. After several long calls with "customer service" they said that I could pick one up from the local store (which is a 30 minute drive). So after calling in the morning to make sure that the boxes were in stock, I went down there. They refused to give me the newer 500gb DVR, instead giving me a 120gb DVR.
When I got home, I called customer service again three more times. The third time, the customer service agent put in an order for a new DVR, promising me that I would receive the 500gb box. Guess which DVR they sent me? The 120gb DVR!
Again, I called customer service, got hung up on, called back again and was unable to speak to a supervisor. They also claim that they have no control over which DVR they can send. That's so ridiculous.
I've had it. I pay waaaaaay to much and have been a loyal customer for over 4 years. I don't even get the 25/25 internet speed that I'm paying for. As soon as my contract is up I'm switching to Time Warner or AT&T. I know their customer service is much better, and at least I'll be able to use a faster wireless router.
Good Bye Verizon. You're way too expensive for how you treat your customers.
Solved!

October 2011
Wanted to add another set top box for a 3rd TV. So I called customer service and had them send me one instead of going to the FiOS store which in my area, which uses 2 gallons of gas round trip. I asked for the newer black colored box which is lighter and uses less energy. 2 days later, the package shows up at my door and low and behold, they sent the old large box instead. Surprised? So I called the local FiOS store in Spring Valley, NY since I couldn't get through to customer service on the phone that morning (perhaps because it was the day before hurricane Irene struck the NY area) and was told to just bring it up there. I wound up spending FOUR HOURS in the store as I was told they couldn't switch it out because it wasn't plugged in and activated! They made calls to different departments in an effort to straighten this out, but to no avail. I wanted to take the box and smash it on the floor in front of them! Unless I miss my guest, ALL cable boxes are tracked by their serial #, so why was there a problem? Because of a colossal design FLAW in the Verizon FiOS computer system that requires you to plug in & activate a box BEFORE you exchange or return it. Have you ever heard of anything so stupid in your life? So I took the old box home, took apart that part of the wall unit, replaced the existing HD setop box with the wrong one they sent, activated it, put the wall unit back together, took the box I've had for 4 years back, got the new design one, bought it home, installed it, and low and behold, THERE'S NO CLOCK DISPLAY! The excuse customer service is giving out for this one is that alleviation of the clock display makes the box use less energy. Just who does this company think they're BSing? I was in the digital clock biz back when digital displays first came out in the 1970's. These vacuum florescent types use barely any power at all to speak of compared to what the box consumes overall. They know the average consumer doesn't have the technical background I have to know better. Just another excuse so Verizon could save a buck or 2 on each box they buy from Motorola, As Porky Pig would say, "BADEE BADA BEDED THAT'S ALL FOLKS!"

Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone through Verizon?

Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone under their warranty plan? How did you get a resolution or replacement phone?

Hello dpetrie,
A lost or stolen phone is definitely not fun! If this is the case then I'm sure that we have an option available for you. May I ask what model device did you lose? As tikibar1 mentioned, do you have insurance on the device? If so then please advise so we can share options with you.
Thank you...

Terrible customer service - the worst!

I have been trying to get customer service to correct my address country from the US to Canada... for 3 days now! But to no avail so far. No way to do this online or via email. I am writing this while I have been put on hold for the FOURTH time now! It is STILL not clear if they will be able to help me and do this at their end.
In the meantime, I am unable to upgrade my Lightroom version.
Great products, terrible service. I am EXTREMELY frustrated.

Hi lbeaulook,
Due to tax reasons, it isn't possible to change the current country associated with your existing Adobe ID. We could create a different Adobe ID associated with the new country (Canada). Would you like to keep your existing Adobe ID email address associatd with your new ID?
Thanks,

Terrible Customer Service / Billing Options

I have enrolled in auto pay. Had auto pay set up, then I got a new bank card. After receiving the new card, I immediately updated payment info with Verizon way ahead of the next bill. I find that the pay was not taken from my account, so the current bill is nearly $400 dollars - plus an additional $5.00 late fee. Called customer service, and fumble through the all automated menus, only to be told that the late fee is because I did not update my card info. She waived the late fee but could not take my payment; I would have to be transferred to the correct department. If only that transfer had gone through, instead - the call dropped. Upon calling customer service again, automated menus, I find out that they have my newest card on file and ask if I would like to use this card to make payment???? I wait for an operator who tells me I need to set up auto pay again! So that I can have the same mess I just dealt with when I created my new parment - I dont think so. You are AWFUL verizon. BEYOND TERRIBLE. How about having a speak to a real living person option on the menu before all the other nonsense. I will be switching back to AT&T where I never had a single problem. I have had Verizon Wireless service since November 2014 and have had countless issues. Not to mention, the gentlemen I spoke with said the problems I have encountered "are very common." You get enough $5.00 late fees from customers who pay on time, verizon gets a fat wallet. Well good for you, you have terrible service and even worse customer service. I will never speak highly of this company or cellular service.

Is everything set up now? Atleast they credited the account. Sometime when you make changes it takes a few billing cycle to take place (i.e. adress changes). I hope everything works out with ATT&T!
So....I have a question: If you say: "I will be switching back to AT&T where I never had a single problem" and "Well good for you, you have terrible service and even worse customer service. I will never speak highly of this company or cellular service." Why did you even switch to Verizon in the first place? Clearly ATT&T had an issue, becouse if nothing is ever wrong, then why would you even switch??

ChatandVision – terrible customer service, PLEASE ...

ChatandVision – terrible customer service, PLEASE READ
I would like to share with community and SKYPE my not so recent chatandvision experience.
I have purchased Skype phone from chatandvision, which is basically link from skype shop but transaction handled by chatandvision and not Skype.
Purchase was done on 31st of January. On 18th of February I contacted chatandvision for tracking number as order did not arrive.
Despite clear writing on chatandvision site that orders shipped via trackable service this is reply I got:
Dear Alex,
Sorry to hear you have not received your package.
We can confirm that the order has been sent via Airmail Postage from Hong Kong on the 4 February so you should receive it soon. Airmail service distribution is similar to that of HK Post. This type of delivery service has no tracking number yet hope that any delay is minimal.
Normally, orders leaving Hong Kong, deliveries via Airmail Postage mail are generally 7 to 10 business days.
But please note that the delivery time may vary and can take a little longer subject to local customs. Sometimes it can take up to 14-21 working days for your package to reach your destination.
We thank you for your patience with this issue.
Sincerely,
Marcela
Customer Care Officer

March 18, Two more weeks another email to chat and vision, here is reply:
Dear Alex ,
We apologize that the item has not reached you as of now.
May I ask if you have checked with your neighbors or workmates? It may be that the item was accepted on your behalf. If not, do kindly allow a few days for the item to arrive. Delays are common usually caused by local customs and postal services of the receivers' country.
In any case, please do feedback and reply me anytime and thank you for your patience throughout.
Sincerely,
Debbie
Customer Care Officer
March 28th, after several emails to chat and vision here is reply:
Dear Alex,
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused on your end. I'd like to confirm though that we have now processed your refund.
Refunds typically take 2-5 business days to process from our end, depending on how you paid for your original order (we always credit back to the same credit card that you used for payment). Unfortunately it can sometimes take another 2-3 days for your bank to process the refund, so we advise that you allow 7 days for the funds to be seen in your account.
The good news though is that we’ll send you an email to confirm when the refund has been completed.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help, and I hope that you will shop with us again in the future.
Sincerely,
Debbie
Customer Care Officer

We would like to inform you that since the time frame for us to refund the order through PayPal has already expired, therefore we shall arrange for a transfer instead. In the light of this, please kindly confirm your active PayPal account and email address.

Its 9th of May, probably 15 emails to ChatandVision, tons of wasted time and about 100 euro, by now I have only one question how company like this can be a SKYPE preferred supplier?
With this service and attitude it’s surprising they are still in business, or perhaps they are in business because they just take your money and do not care afterwards.
Please BE AWARE when purchase from them

the webpage should be closed from google and microsoft.If skype is using that (offensive text removed) and not listening customers.....(offensive text removed)
Exactly the same situation with me......I "bought" the skype phone over the skype webpage....
Skype should be responsible also for partners..........

ChatandVision – terrible customer service, PLEASE READ
I would like to share with community and SKYPE my not so recent chatandvision experience.
I have purchased Skype phone from chatandvision, which is basically link from skype shop but transaction handled by chatandvision and not Skype.
Purchase was done on 31st of January. On 18th of February I contacted chatandvision for tracking number as order did not arrive.
Despite clear writing on chatandvision site that orders shipped via trackable service this is reply I got:
Dear Alex,
Sorry to hear you have not received your package.
We can confirm that the order has been sent via Airmail Postage from Hong Kong on the 4 February so you should receive it soon. Airmail service distribution is similar to that of HK Post. This type of delivery service has no tracking number yet hope that any delay is minimal.
Normally, orders leaving Hong Kong, deliveries via Airmail Postage mail are generally 7 to 10 business days.
But please note that the delivery time may vary and can take a little longer subject to local customs. Sometimes it can take up to 14-21 working days for your package to reach your destination.
We thank you for your patience with this issue.
Sincerely,
Marcela
Customer Care Officer

March 18, Two more weeks another email to chat and vision, here is reply:
Dear Alex ,
We apologize that the item has not reached you as of now.
May I ask if you have checked with your neighbors or workmates? It may be that the item was accepted on your behalf. If not, do kindly allow a few days for the item to arrive. Delays are common usually caused by local customs and postal services of the receivers' country.
In any case, please do feedback and reply me anytime and thank you for your patience throughout.
Sincerely,

Customer Care Officer
March 28th, after several emails to chat and vision here is reply:
Dear Alex,
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused on your end. I'd like to confirm though that we have now processed your refund.
Refunds typically take 2-5 business days to process from our end, depending on how you paid for your original order (we always credit back to the same credit card that you used for payment). Unfortunately it can sometimes take another 2-3 days for your bank to process the refund, so we advise that you allow 7 days for the funds to be seen in your account.
The good news though is that we’ll send you an email to confirm when the refund has been completed.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help, and I hope that you will shop with us again in the future.
Sincerely,
Debbie
Customer Care Officer

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! BEWARE!

Everytime I call Verizon (wireless or otherwise) I am constantly being transferred around, unable to ever speak to a supervisor or manager if they exist, the staff is rude, incompetent, and generally mean spritied toward a paying customer. Terrible. Abolutely terrible. Unwilling to listen, or assist me with my problem. I don't mind paying the bill of my deceased grandmother, but why can't I speak to a manager in this regard? Terrible. One person tells me the sky is blue, and the next person tells me it's red. I can't win with you people. I do not want to swtich service providers, but I have receievd better customer service from a rock. Seriously. Absolutely terrible. Until it happens to any of you, you will never understand, but heed my warning, if considering this product or service, BEWARE!

Does anyone have a number for Consumer Advocacy??? I have been fighting a billing issue for a year. Verizon blended 2 of my accounts into one and now I can't pay my bill. I've been switched around and around for hours, talked to every department and get nowhere, no empathy, just sorry this was set up wrong and we can't change anything for you.
Pay your bill, but we're not sure how you can do that. Oh wait, pay over the phone and pay us 3.50 for that. And by the way, we don't have your correct account number anywhere so you can't even pay online through your bank. And now you're a month behind because of us, so we're going to shut off your service. There is no chain of command, no one to take your issues up with. Every now and then you get someone who knows what you're talking about, but I usually get disconnected from then.
Hate, hate, hate Verizon's customer service. Verizon Wireless is the complete opposite. Like them or not, at least they act like they appreciate you as a customer.
Any help with a number????

Truly Terrible Customer Service- Problems With Lenovo U410

Hello everyone,
I would like to share my Lenovo Customer Service experience.
While on holidays in Poland last August, I decided to buy a new laptop in one of the big electronic stores. The laptop, however, developed a fault on the second day. I thought it was a case of bad drivers causing the problem. After I returned from my holidays, the fault was still there.
I contacted the Lenovo Customer Service who requested a proof of purchase. I explained that the laptop was bought in Poland on holidays and sent them on the receipt. A day later, I got an email saying:
"Your machine has been booked in for a full repair at our service centre. Thank you for your proof of purchase.
In 2-3 working days you will receive a letter containing instructions regarding the booking of your collection. The letter will also contain very important terms and conditions in particular with regards to data loss.
Please follow the instructions and your machine will be repaired under warranty."
A few days later the machine was taken off me by a DPD courier for almost 2 weeks. In the meantime I had no other option but to use my father's laptop to do my final year college project.
I was delighted when I got the email:
"We have completed the servicing of your item.
Your item is now being packed and prepared for dispatch. You can track your package online..."
However, 30 mins after using the "newly repaired" laptop, the stripy screen came back! Needless to say, I wasn't happy. I contacted Lenovo again, their customer service agent apologised for the bad experience and said that the laptop will need to be sent back again. For me that meant another 2 weeks without the laptop!
This Tuesday, I finally received the laptop back. After using the laptop for an hour or so, the horrible stripy screen appeared in front of my eyes! This time I was absolutely infuriated!! The laptop was sent back twice and the same problem persisted. I got my phone and rang the Customer Service to ask what the hell is happening?!
The answer I got this time was that the laptop was purchased in Poland and therefore it is not covered by the International warranty!! A few months of dealing with the company, a couple of phone calls and sending the laptop off for a repair twice to be told that they didn't fix it because the machine is not covered by the International Warranty?!
This is my short story of my terrible customer experience! I am not satisfied with the way this company operates, takes my laptop off me, sends the laptop off to their repair centre in Germany to then say that they cannot fix it?! Could anyone who works for Lenovo please explain to me where is the logic in that?

I find it absolutely deplorable of Lenovo that there has been no posted response to this customer service issue. I have been trying to decide for a while now if it was worth purchasing a Yoga 2 Pro as it looked to have all the specs of a PC Hybrid I was hoping for. Well....how wrong could I have been...I had no idea how appalling the customer service is from this company!
Firstly, in the UK...there have been some nightmare stories of faulty items and ridiculous product shipping delays that just seem to keep changing without any thought for the consumer in explaining what the hold up is. If you want to see a fantastic daily updated example of this alone just have a look at the Lenovo UK Facebook product page. Just reading it for ten minutes is tragic. There are so many upset customers in there that it almost seems comical.
The shipping delays are pathetic, they will glady take people's money (including warranties on items that arent there!) and hold it in the Lenovo bank accounts but the slow service and response to those with faults displays a complete disregard for the consumer. I can understand a company being unable to keep up with high demand of a product if it is very good and in demand but this needs to be addressed with admission in communication. Simply advertising a product that people cannot access and dealing with the irate customer-in-waiting afterwards is not acceptable.
Let it be known that Lenovo through their own incompetence have lost a customer before he even purchased anything today. I can only hope that others considering making a purchase will see further posts like this and feel deterred in the same way. That way, Lenovo may finally see that they really need to up their game in terms of service and quality control. To the person that made this post, I can only feel sympathy for the problems you had with them and can only say that you are certainly not alone! Check out their UK Facebook page to see just how terrible the service is (including choosing to ignore the more upset customers while blowing the trumpet whenever someone's problem is "sorted"!).

Terrible Customer Service - Lifetime Customer Lost

I placed (5) calls into customer service this past week, the last (2) I was hung up on by supervisers. Once I asked for a manager and was told they would not transfer me. This stems from me Downloading a video game through my psn account, the game caused my ps3 to crash everytime I played it. I spoke with customer service and followed all their steps, including uninstalling and reinstalling the game but it continued to crash my system. I asked for a refund but was told she "wasn't able to process" one and all sales were final. I disputed the charges on my credit card and now my account has been suspended. I have gravitated towards sony products all my life, owning a vaio computer, sony tv, PS1-3, but I am so put off by a complete lack of concern or willingness to help a lifetime customer that I will not be purchasing anymore sony products with such a glarring (yet simple to fix) problem such as customer service I straightforwardly told the superviser they were going to lose an avid customer they have had since I was 15 and I was told they couldn't help me. This, over a $29 broken game. Terrible way to treat loyal customers.

Wow. It is amazing to see how many people are having the same issue as me. I just got hung up by a Sony Customer relations representative right after she raised her voice and said I'm rude. I have been in the customer service business for 20 years so I understand SOME customers can be unreasonable and upset, and I have been on the receiving side many times. That's why I try to be as nice as possible over the phone as it is not their fault I have a lemon 4K X900 Tv. However when they are rude and raise their voice it becomes personal.
I've been dealing with this TV for a while. First it doesn't stream Netflix in 4K although it is a 4K TV. Then I found out none of the HDMI ports on the Tv support 4K either right after I spent $700 on a 4K media player. So they sent someone I helped him unmount the Tv, replaced the board and mounted the Tv back. The latest issue is extreme overheating that I can't watch my TV for more than an hour before it shutting down or freezing.
Anyways after almost 3 months of runarounds and phone calls and emails someone called me and said they don't have the part and they will replace my TV. Cool. The next day someone else called and said oops sorry we don't have a comparable TV and the escalated the issue to the customer relations. She finally called today and said there is nothing they can do and their best offer is giving me my money back. I don't want the money just fix my TV or replace it with a new one. My other option was to pay them another $1500 so they can send me a 55" TV. And then she started talking to her coworkers in Indian thinking she hung up on me but I could hear everything and not understanding it.

Terrible Printer! Terrible Customer Service!
