Unacceptable service

I purchased an Xbox One console on launch day and had an issue with my controller that needed a warranty exchange. I called in this problem and was informed that I had to ship my controller in, and within 15 days of receipt, I would get a replacement. I
felt that this was unacceptable as the controller was within the 90 day warranty period. This also left me with the prospect of not being able to use my console until I received my replacement. I pleaded with every person I spoke with but they refused to ship
a replacement controller prior to receiving mine. I finally capitulated and shipped my controller exactly as was requested by Microsoft on 2/19/14. Tracking confirms they received my controller on 2/24/14. Prior to shipping the controller I was forced to buy
another one (that I didn't want or need) due to the estimate down time. I called twice to check on the status of my repair and both times they had difficulty finding any information on my exchange. I also reported a change of address on my first call. On April
8th I received an email saying my controller was shipping. It is also shipping to my previous address.

This is a warning to anyone who has a warranty exchange with Microsoft. DO NOT ship them your item first, they will burn you.

Unacceptable Customer Service

Customer service usually takes a year or two to get its *** together when a new console comes out; was pretty much the same with the 360's day too. Honestly, customer service is all about luck and being as concise and patient as possible. You were, but the
luck part failed you. Seems like you just have to stick with it and eventually get your power supply back. It's not worth laying down more money for a PS4.

You can leave feedback on their service in the feedback forums,but you will get no response from them.

They are supposed to read the feedback,but i doubt they do.

Other than that jelhunted is right,microsoft never visit their own forums.

 

Tracking says I will receive my package on 4/15/14.

I understand how u feel I sent my power brick two them over 2 weeks ago n called yesterday to see why I haven't received a new one since they received mine 8 over day ago. I ask why is the power brick is consider an accessory since your console is rendered
unless n without out it and why can't they just send me a new since they already have mine N they respond with very vague excuses as to Y they cant. Then they tell me they have to send to advocacy which could take 18 more day before i find out when or if
I will have a replacement. I know one thing whenever I do receive my new one I'm done with microsoft.

 

Typical Microsoft disrespecting their customers.

 

Hey Microsoft, your team of idiots is delivering my controller to the wrong address and you don't care!!!! I will not be buying your GARBAGE in the future. You have wasted my time and taken me for granted as a customer. Please call me so I can unleash a
whirlwind of four letter words that would make a sailor blush. Oh, and your special team that was needed for something.... they can't even call me by my name in the email they sent. I want 1 full year of Xbox Live for free. And I want a $60 credit for the
controller i had to purchased while you guys let mine sit on a shelf.

 

Wow, I guess I'm in good company then.

I Opened a Service Request, and shipped my faulty Day One controller to the Laredo Service Center on 3/6/14. USPS Tracking showed "delivered" on 3/10/14. "Service Request status" never updated beyond "Processing". Chatted with a Service reps on 3/14/14 and
3/19/14; basically received some lame excuse about Day One controllers being rare and that it was taking longer than usual. At that I stated "any controller will do, they can't be that rare". Service Rep opened a "ticket" that went nowhere. Called a "true"
Microsoft Service Rep every week for updates. On 3/28/14, Service Rep opened ANOTHER ticket for Advocacy group. I was told it might take 12 days for them to respond. Well lo and behold, on 4/6/14, my original Xbox One Service Request status was now "CANCELLED".
I called back, immediately concerned, and was told that "Cancellations occur in 30 days when there is 'no action' on the service request, and that's what the Advocacy group would 'fix'". Of course, after the 12 days had passed with nary an email or call
from MS, I called once again on 4/11/14. This Service Rep stated that the "last" ticket was sent to the "wrong" group, and that he would "personally" follow-up weekly on the "new ticket" he created (I did manage to get a 3 month Xbox-live extension for my
troubles, ugh).

I will be totally shocked if that Service Rep follows through on his word and calls me back on 4/18/14.

Overall, this has been a very frustrating experience, and definitely a Black-Eye for Microsoft. I don't know if anyone at Microsoft who has any influence at all reads these forums, but it would really go a long way if they could just clear up the "bull-crap"
and give us the straight-scoop on "what's going on" at the Service Centers. It appears that all the Service Reps are concerned with is appeasements, and they don't have any actual power at all. They can't even call the Service Centers directly, so they are
basically useless.

I just want my controller back..

 

4/16 no call or email still from so-called Advocacy team...since 3/18 my

order has been "processing". Tired of calling or support chat and getting no where! ;( I'm call again today I guess.

 

I was told by their support that they don't take complaints, I need to write a letter and mail it in. This was by a supervisor. I have only had this console fo a month and have had to call them every week. Now I need to write a letter and mail it in? Way
to go support. I remember with the original Xbox I had a game occasionally restart on a 2 year console and they offered to let me ship the console back for free and they would fix it. The service has gone down hill and support does not care. The worst part
is it was a supervisor. The lady I spoke to first seemed to actually care. The guy who I asked to complain about all the issues said its not his job to hear complaints and I need to write a letter. Needed to vent.

 

4/29 "order still in progress" I Finally received a email saying the order is backlog (backordered) Meaning since 3/18... they barley tell me its backlog. Wow! I just don't understand why didn't tell me like 2nd week, or even the 3rd week. So now nearing
my 6th week. I keep you posted.

Ok last post hopefully, They made a new ticket Service #... A within 3 days it started to ship 5/2.. I will get it 5/10 according to Fedex. So 3/18-5/10 for a headset.. I'm scared to do my broken day one controller with the service. I was granted 3 months
Xbox Live Gold for the inconvenience though.

 

SonyPS3Sucks - Did you receive your headset?

I ordered a replacement stereo headset and headset adapter on 3.16.14. They processed my payment within 48 hours of the order being placed and I still have not received either of the items I paid for.

My service request is with their Customer Advocacy Group and they send me an automatically generated email every 7 days to let me know that they still don't have anything for me.

Here is the email:
