To Whom It May Concern:
On January
17,2000, I placed an order for an Intel Pentium Processor 166 MHz with
MMX. This processor was purchased for an Everex Stepnote SE, this was confirmed
with the operator and I was assured this was what I would receive. I asked
for Second Day Air, because I needed it immediately. I received the processor
on January 20, 2000. Upon opening the processor I realized it was the wrong
processor. The processor I received was for a desktop, not a laptop. After
realizing this, I called the customer service number and was told there
was a mistake in your database. This mistake allowed for the wrong processor
to be shipped. I was told by your customer service department to send it
back and the problem would be corrected. The problem I have with this is,
I will not receive the processor until Tuesday.
I spoke with
Robert Diaz on Friday, January 21,1999 about the situation. I offered to
buy another processor if Everex would pay for overnight shipping and weekend
delivery by UPS ($34.95). I asked this due to the fact I promised my customer
he would received the laptop on 01/21/00. He advised that Everex was already
paying to have the processor sent back and another one shipped out. He
said that he would not authorize it. Even though, through your company's
incompetence, the wrong processor was sent out he was unwilling to meet
me half way. At that point I asked to speak with you, he said you were
unavailable and that if a decision was to be made, he would be the one
to make it. He finally agreed upon if I would ship the package by Fed-Ex,
he would begin processing the return. This would allow the package to arrive
01/24/00. This is still too late. Later that day I called Mr. Diaz and
left the Fed-Ex tracking and Everex RMA number on his voice mailbox.
I arrived home at 1600 Hours
CST and called your company again. When the operator answered, I asked
for Robert Diaz. She then rang his extention. I needed to ask him if he
had received the information I provided earlier. His voice mail picked
up again and I didn't leave a message.
I called
back again and asked for customer service. I asked the lady who answered
the phone if Robert Diaz had left word about the situation. She was the
same lady I spoke with before. I know this because of her unique sounding
voice (she sounds as if she was never taught to speak properly). She said
nothing had been said and that Robert Diaz was in a meeting and would be
unavailable for about 30 minutes. I then asked if she could tell me who
was Robert Diaz's supervisor, she advised me that it was Alex Si. I then
told her I was having a difficult time because your company screwed up.
She then told me it would do no good to complain to you, because nothing
would be done. She said I was buying a part for an outdated laptop and
you wouldn't care. I asked her if you stand behind your products, she replied,
"Yes, if it's under warranty." She then sarcastically proceeded to tell
me how great it must be to never make a mistake. I told her I had given
my customer my word he would receive his laptop. I told her that I don't
know how things are done in California, but in Texas when we give our word
we stick by it. She then told me it must be a great place to live, I told
her it was. I do not appreciate her making a mockery of my upbringing and
heritage. I would not allow my employees to talk to me in that manner,
much less a customer, regardless of the purchase. I also don't feel I should
have to take it from one of yours. Small purchases doesn't mean that's
all there will ever be. If you choose to confront her with this matter
and she denies it. Please contact me, at the time I spoke with her our
conversation was recorded. I will send a copy of the tape by priority mail,
if you so choose.
I have been
to your website several times. To judge you by your website, you do appear
to be a multi-billion dollar company. Except since having done business
with your company, it seems to be a nickel and dime operation getting by
on miracles and good luck. Your people are rude and have a severe inability
to properly serve the customer. Of course this is only my opinion and I
couldn't possibly speak for everybody who's done business with you. In
addition not everyone is willing to report incidents.
I called
back again at 1700 Hours CST and spoke with Robert Diaz. He informed me
the package was sent UPS overnight and I would receive it Monday, still
too late. I also informed him about the previous treatment from your "
CUSTOMER SERVICE" department.
I believe your employees should
give more understanding to customer problems caused by your company. Thank
you for your time.
The laptop
in question was purchased with a malfunctioning CPU. Shortly after purchasing
the CPU, the laptop was malfunctioning again. This should let you know
why Everex stands only behind products "UNDER WARRANTY".
Before I end this commentary,
I would just like to say: If you want to have a good laugh, call and ask
for customer service. I swear the girl on the other end of the phone sounds
like the mom from Bobby's World (Cartoon Starring The Creation Of Howie
Mandel). You will now know what happens to out of work cartoon voices.
