Customer service my ASS

some of you may know that almost 3 weeks ago my amplifier died blowing my 2 10" subs

So that Monady I took the am in to get sent away for reapir. It got sent away and then I wait.

and wait

and wait.

after 4 days I go back to ask what is happening. The shop says it is there at the manufacturers for repair but can't be looked at until 3-4 more days. (i think oh well I'll wait) finally a week and 1 day later I get a phone call saying how much the repair will be and asking if I want to go ahead with it, I reply straight away "Yes get it fixed". So again I wait.

and wait

and wait

I went back in on Tuesday (2 weeks and 1 days after dropping it off). No sorry its still not back yet so I got them to ring the repairer. OK it WILL be back here on Thursday and we will call you when it arrives. ('Sweet' I think, 'I'll have bass back by the weekend)


Thursday rolls by and still no phone call

It is now almost the end of the working day on friday and still no phone call


It's getting to the stage (3 weeks) that I am about to phone them and tell them where they can stick the amp cos I'm getting PISSED OFF

Well you know that I can totally relate to that one!

I'm beginning to think good customer service doesn't actually exist anymore! (and when you do happen on the rare occasion to get someone who's actually good, it takes you by total surprise, which is really sad). Good customer service should be the norm not a rarity.

Well I have come to a decision.

If its not back tomorrow morning (Saturday) they will be told I'm not paying for any reapir and they can stick it where the sun don't shine.

This is just me, but Rockford Fosgate makes some very good amps. Just the price tag might be scary for some.

Exclamation Customer Service

Here's an thought for you...

I'd better disclose I work in the market research industry so you take my spiel with the appropriate grain of salt or cynicism.

Lot of companies do customer satisfaction surveys but a few do surveys of the satisfaction of.... wait for it.... their customer services staff...

Based on what I've seen the happier the customer services staff the happier the customers...

Why... you ask?

Because those poor smucks who work for companies that just don't give a shit have to listen to the unhappy, irate and disappointed people who call them day after day... and they can't do a thing. They're human too and they get unhappy about it...

So before you buy stuff try talking to the customer services as if you were making a complaint about the product and if they sound ...

... irritated ...

... unhappy with their job ...

... depressed ...

... cynical ...

... or surly....

... be afraid... be very afraid...

Just from experience and coming from a person who used to be heavily into the system world way back when. Kickers are good for one thing, speakers. I especially love their Kicker Competition series subwoofers. Deliver real good bass, clear and undistorted.

As for amps, I tend to rely on RF, MTX..........damn, been so long I can't remember the names of some others. Oh well, you get my point. But whatever floats your boat then.

I'd never buy Fusion purely because who they have as an endorser for it.

Fusion

And there was I thinking you wouldn't buy it because it wasn't as good
as someone else's product...

If you get a minute have a look at this stuff - it's home audio but after
wandering thru here whilst I was in Europe I can tell you it's the
technophile's holy grail... however at 14,000 sterling for a speaker it's
almost as spine-tingling looking at the price tags as hearing the output
from these monoliths....
