"Sony products seem to have some decent quality standard. However, I cannot say the same for the customer service side of the business.
My job involves extensive computer hardware services. Dealing with Sony tech support and other customer serices usually yield only one result: FRUSTRATION. The tech support rep have the ability to take product registration and that's all they seem to have the capability to do. Rudeness tend to be the compensation for their deep level of INcompetence.
In one occasion, I asked a customer service rep at accessories dept not to keep calling 'sir' in such irritating way. Her immediate response was "Okay, sonnie... what do you want?".The she immediately hung up the phone. Sony was unable to 'locate' that person, needless to say.
I hope that Sony executives read this posting and try to look into what kind of image they are projecting through poor customer relations."
"For some reasons the folks at Compaq have less interest in impressing customers with their professionalism and quality service. Does the merger have any thing to do with this?"
