Warranty Refusal
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Support Ticket
We got a G6 Laptop this past summer, and the thing was defective. The fan didn't work, so constant overheating issues, then the screen went weird. IN USE, the thing developed this odd "border". So we sent it in. First they claimed there was "liquid" damage to the battery, claiming it was shorted, and it works fine, NO damage at all. They also claimed liquid damage to entire system, basically. A system, mind you, that has NO such damage, never did, and that works great save for the fan and screen issues. After WEEKS, in which they did NOTHING, they returned it... More...

HP Probook Issue
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Support Ticket
I'm incredulous that an organization the size of HP cannot afford to provide decent customer support. I sent my laptop in for repairs, they fixed that problem but created three new ones when they repaired it. I need my laptop repaired in 8 days, which is well within their capability, but they want me to wait 2 business days to receive a cardboard box and shipping labels. I already have the same box, and I'm willing to deliver the box to FedEx for them, but they won't authorize that because it's not procedure. I've spent all day attempting to resolve this... More...

laptop in need of repair
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Support Ticket
Laptop Pavillion-purchased on 10/25/11 and completely dead on 12/25/11 when I tried to turn the device on. Purchased from Best Buy whom informed me that their in store warranty only guaranteed electric products for 14 days. It is a travesty that a brand new computer expires after 6-8 weeks of minimum usage. As a consumer I am totally frustrated and disappointed in Best Buy and Hewlett Packard. NO ACCOUNTABILIT WHAT SO EVER!!! More...

HP Printer
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Support Ticket
I started a small business about one year ago and purchased several HP products, 2 desktops, 1 laptop and an HP LaserJet 1536 dnfMFP, SN # CNB9B7VBSH. About two weeks go, our Laserjet started having problems with the paperfeed on top that would occasionally stop and not feed multiple pages to be copied. I called customer support and the answer I received was that I had to replace the entire unit but I would be given a $50 discount,(my printer was 15 days out of warranty, we are a low volume business about 50 pages/day. I feel it is totally unacceptable to have to spend another $300 for a... More...

Ink Levels #920

Subject: RE: Extremely diesperate customer
HI Gladness
I am at a loss for words and now desperate.
The two thin clients you sent to me were received late – I had flown to Capetown especially to set up this system and could not do this as the computer only came in on Friday morning at about 11am (I wasted R2000 on an air ticket). I had to then have the thin clients sent back to Durban and had them setup on the weekend. I couriered one thin client to the Capetown store and had to use one in our store at Gateway as the thin client in that store stopped working. The two new thin clients are not saving the settings when they are shut down so they are not connecting to my head office again. I experienced the exact same problem when I first purchased thin clients from HP – please tell me what to do as my costs and losses keep escalating. I have two stores now that do not work. I contacted your call centre on Monday and spoke to Marlin to collect the thin client from the Durban store reference number 4603392983. To date this has not been collected. Nor has let me repair collected their two replacement non working thin clients from me.
Being an EX HP FANATIC my problems with HP do however continue as HP products constitute 90% of my it infrastructure. I sent in an Hp projector 3 weeks ago for a quote to let me repair in Durban – I never received a quote and out of frustration just collected my projector from them yesterday without them having had a look at the product – I was however asked for a quote rejection fee even though they never quoted ( I did not pay this). I had a printer repaired by them about three weeks ago which had to be returned for repair once more and just received this from them yesterday ( it seems to be working for now)
Please tell me what to do. I don’t need an apology just a solution that works and is stable.
Thank you
Altaaf

Hi Gladness
Approximatey 7 to 8 months ago I was assured that I would never experience the same problem that I have just experienced again and I did. To wait for one month for HP to resolve a problem is totally unacceptable and unbelievable that a company of HP’s stature should offer this level of service. I do not have faith that Hp would resolve this longer term. I Have purchased 8 thin clients with next business day exchange and two servers an ML370 and an ML350 with 3yr 6 hour 24x7 support based on HP’s international reputation and belief that I am purchasing superior quality products and service.
HP is at fault and has negatively impacted my business significantly. My store has not had a working point of sale since the 27th July and I now need to recount the store and reconcile all stock as well as enter all data onto our system ad make certain that all our SARS obligations in terms of vat are met. We also have a problem in that sales have been issued with a manual guarantee rather than one that is computer generated and tracked. HP’s non performance has impacted on my entire system that I have spent half a million rands on and run at a monthly cost of R20000 significantly.
Immediately I expect HP to send me the new thin client to my Capetown store: Time flies, shop 36 Vangate mall, vanguard drive, Athlone, capetown. The phone number at the store is 0 by latest Thursday 3 September. I will be flying to the store from Durban on Thursday morning to ensure that the thin client is setup and working.
I also expect hp to resolve my problem by choosing one of the options below as I cannot have such a negative impact on my business again.
HP refund me for all thin clients and servers purchased so that I can replace these with a competitors product that can offer the service that they sell.
Hp provides me with a spare new thin client so that I can swop within the next business day as per my care packs and HP upgrade my service agreements at their cost.
I trust that you do not find my expectations unreasonable and will get back me to me by close of business today. I am still awaiting your CEO’s response to my emails sent – I trust that you will forward this email as well to him.
Thank you
Altaaf

The MD/ CEO of HP
I am so frustrated with HP and the service that you offer. I sincerely want a refund for all the HP products I purchased as Hp really cannot meet its customers needs. I have just received my third thin client that does not work. DO I need to purchase a new computer because you cant meet your obligations to your customers? I purchased HP because my business needs service. To date I have received the worst possible service. Can you help?

Hi Beula Phalalane
I have purchased 2 HP servers and 7 thin clients from you with hp care packs. To date the service I have received is atrocious. My thin client in my capetown store went down on the 27 July 2009. When I contacted the Hp call centre I was informed that I need to take the unit into a repair centre in Montague Gardens in Capetown as they will do the repair. When my staff got to the centre they informed us that we need to contact let me repair as they do not deal with thin clients. Shamiella from Let me repair arranged for the unit to be collected on the 29th July 2009 and a replacement was received on the 31 July 2009. This unit was password protected and my staff could not connect to the VPN hence they sent the unit back to my Head office in Durban where we attempted to contact Hp for assistance. As I needed to go to a trade show the unit did sit in Durban for approximately two and a half weeks. (this is my fault for the delay and I can accept responsibility for this) I contacted let me repair on the 24th August 2009 and asked Shamilla to collect the unit on Monday 24 August as the unit sent to me did not work, she arranged this unit to be collected on the 24 August and a replacement unit was received by me on the Afternoon of the 27 August 2009. On the 28th August I switched the unit on to set up the vpn connection to find that the unit is not working. I subsequently contacted HP and let me repair to complain about the service I have been receiving. I have spoken to Shamilla at let me repair this morning and told her that I am a frustrated and totally disgruntled customer to be met with the same levels of frustration on her side (excellent customer service when your frustrations at poor service is met with the same frustration at you being a dissatisfied customer when the employee of let me repair is trying to her best to resolve your problem – so why should you be frustrated as a customer and be so unappreciative?)
Shamilla will send out a new unit to me today and hopefully it works. My question is why did I purchase care packs which state a 3 yr next business day exchange when HP or its service providers cannot provide this service. This is my second experience with HP and thin clients. Can I get a refund on the thin clients and the servers purchased from HP and maybe go to a competitor that can meet the obligations of the service that they sell or will I always need to be satisfied that at least someone does try to resolve your problem and you should be grateful that poor customer service is at least some service!
Please do surprise me and forward this to your MD of HP South Africa and wow me with phenomenal service when he does respond.
Thank you
Altaaf Suleman
The phone needs to change the speaker, reloading the software, identify the reason for hanging during restoration process, identify the reason for sudden shut downs and take corrective repair actions.
I have contacted HP India office in Gurgaon India, but they say that this model is not supported in India for service and repair. I bought this unit from Indonesia and HP ASP says that since it is bought from Indonesia so India HP ASP can't repair and only can be repaired in Indonesia. I had online chat with HP Mr. Anil for repair but the chat turned out totally hope less and futile. I have spent so much money on this unit (approx 735 USD)expecting that I can use this device for a longer period and pride in using HP product but actually it has turned out to be hope less service from HP and totally irresponsible behaviour of HP India team. HP team is totally washing their hands from the responsibility of helping me and getting the device repaired. I think I will never use HP product in future. It is black spot on HP which has earned a respectable name in computers world but now I have serious doubts on HP's credibility. Although I wanted to write to CEO of HP Mr. Mark Hurd but could not get his email. Should I scrap this unit ??? Who is responsible ??? or did I make a mistake buying HP product.Case has been registered with HP technical team the product S/N is TWG50406LS.If HP doesn't support me that means HP is irresponsible at all and spoiling its name in market.
