I bought a laptop recently online from a company with which i have dealt before (buying a desktop) and been happy, but there are issues with the laptop so i wrote to them. the first thing i said in the email was my name, since they would need to know who i was in order to look up the purchase. the second thing i said was that the problem was with the laptop i got about a month ago. then i went on the describe the problem.

the response asked me if i could please provide my name so they could find the purchase. (my name was the VERY FIRST THING i said in the email!)

so i sent them my name (again) and waited a few days, and just now i got another response... asking me whether i was talking about the desktop from a year ago or the laptop i just got about a month ago. (that was the SECOND thing i said in my email!)

ain't customer service wunnnnerful?

One interaction won't properly gauge the services of the company however 100% failure is hard to debate. Honestly it sounds like the agents are probably pressed for time and are moving far too quickly through emails and sending hasty responses. If I were you I'd call and talk to someone directly if at all possible otherwise you'll be back and forth on emails for longer than necessary.

we got it sorted. i just get frustrated when it gets that silly, but he kind of straightened out after i pointed out that both of his questions had answered already in (and at the head of) the original email.

The name of the company would be nice but they are all pretty much equally bad these days.

I started rebuilding laptops and desktops years ago... I haven't bought a new PC for the last 15 years. Buy one that is 2 years old, strip it of all the bloatware, max out the RAM memory and you are all set! Oh... And for laptops... Solid state hard drives are a must!

Oh, dear God. I got the massive run-around from Frontier internet service.

August 1, 2018. After five years and 20 repair visits, the last repairman was honest. Instead of lying ("underground wires are faulty" ) he said:

"Your home is at the tail-end of Frontier internet wires. It starts in downtown Wenatchee. It's like a stream running uphill, with other people taking water on the way. By the time it gets to you, you have less than 3 megabytes of internet speed. That's why you can't watch videos and your computer keeps crashing."

Although I cancelled Frontier, they didn't stop automatic withdrawal from my checking account. It took four calls to get this actually stopped. Promises, promises.

This week I made four calls to Frontier customer service. Nobody bothered to take 2 seconds to look up what was happening. The billing dept. person told me to call City Bank, Frontier's bank. I was livid.

Of course, City Bank had no record of my former Frontier account.

November 2, 2018. My refund check has not arrived. Now it is supposed to arrive before Thanksgiving. Yeah, right.

What company? I'd like to avoid them.

@Paracosm @Secretguy @RIverRick it's local and it's a nonprofit. they're going to pay to have me return it and they'll take care of fixing or replacing it. it's just the one guy. it's not a big corporation and you're not likely to have heard of it, encountered it or been inconvenienced by it. i didn't name it in the original post on purpose. pardon me for not doing it now either. they were very good the last time.
