[Resolved]  Acer India Ltd — Horrible Product and Service

I sent a letter to Acer India (Pvt) Ltd.:

To
Sudipto Ghosh
Chief Customer Support Officer

This is not the first time, I am complaining about a problem that I face constantly, again and yet again.
However this time it went overboard.

I bought an ACER laptop in October 2007.
Since I have started using it, I realized that it overheats itself. So much so, that it is impossible to even keep it on the lap and use it.
I have given it for servicing to ACER umpteen times. And it comes back with no difference what so ever.
From July 2008 to November 2008 I have been so troubled by this whole experience.
Your service to the customer is so bad, I can’t even begin to explain.( I am starting to detest) ACER
I once got my laptop back with the keyboard not working, the mouse not working. I had to arrange for external keyboard and mouse to be able to use the laptop to access important data.
It seems that you have no regards for anyone else’s time or convenience or peace.
To co-ordinate with the dealer, the service executive for constant updates and constant follow ups has been a mental torture, believe you me.
I will go to the level of saying that I was traumatized by the whole thing.
And the worst part is even though I have somehow managed to get my laptop back, it is still the same and overheats drastically.
After spending so much amount of money, all I get is a horrible product and even horrible service and practically snatching away my peace and sleep.

I do not know how to can take the consumer for such a ride.

I would like you to answer some questions for me please

Is this some kind of a joke?
If yes then is your sense of humour so bad?
Do you think you are the only player in the market to do what you like?
Do you think the customer is a fool?
Do you think the customer has no other job in the world other than to first get harassed and then complain and then follow up on the complains?
Do you think you are going to be able to compensate the customer for the time loss and the mental stress that you cause to the customer?

I shall await your response till the 4th of December 2008.
I better be compensated well.

I do not understand that in this age of social networking, and constant communication, how you let customers get so dissatisfied. Please understand that bad word of mouth can lead to severe damages.
If I do not receive satisfactory response, I am sorry to say, that I will have to take help of the media. And this you take it from me, that the media will help.
I will be forced to write product reviews on review sites. And well the power of google, and internet...well what can I say..
Negative publicity is not good publicity I hope you know that.
See, the thing is that please do not take me wrong. I do not wish to spread the bad word unless I am awfully forced to do so. And please do not take any of this as empty threats.

Also, I think you should stop proclaiming that you are a good company because according to me neither do you offer any functional benefit (horrible horrible horrible horrible product), nor any emotional benefit (don’t even get me started on that- I am already so stressed out by the customer “service” that you have “provided” )!!

I would like my issues to be PERMANENTLY RESOLVED -Or else, I am sorry to say, I would have to take drastic steps such as taking Acer India to court. I will soon be sending my lawyer with a legal notice.

Regards
Priyanka

P.S.: you may check my history with your customer care executives.

P.S.S: you should try contemplating a change in your tagline:
Life is busy,
ACER also makes it MESSY.

I too have some problem with Acer service. Please visit http://aftersalesserviceindia.blogspot.com/
Dear Sir



This is Gyanendra Yadav, working with Government of Madhya Pradesh, as State MIS Manager in a project.



For my project, I bought a new ACER Aspire4530 laptop on 9th May 2009, Banglore and right after one week the laptop is not working properly like recording audio, webcam is not functioning, and CD ROM makig noice by shaking etc.



I have raised ticket[protected] on[protected] and was told to fix the problem at the nearest Acer service center. I went on[protected] with my laptop at "Compherals" Acer Service Center located at langford road, banglore .



Service center id (ACCID) - COM080 and they have given me a job no. 2241 on 24-06-09 and ask to collect the problems fixed laptop after two days.On reaching to the service center on 27-06-09 I was again told that to come after two more days i.e. on 30-06-09. On contecting "Compherals" I was told that there is a problem in motherboard and they are going to replace it so they are waiting for part from ACER since 10days.



On reaching this day to "Compherals" I was told that my laptop is repaired and ready to collect, when I checked for the problems which i had raised a ticket those are not solved. They did nothing with laptop except wasting my valuable time. I m badly need my laptop to complete one of my important projects.



I would like to know is there any way to handover my laptop back to the acer so that I can opt for other brands ...





Thanks

Acer Ferrari 4003Wlmi — Acer Products- All defective

Acer is the worst when it comes to after sales service. Also Acer is well-known for its defective products and never makes an effort to improve. Most customers get carried away by its low pricing. But its better spend a little more money and buy a better products of a better brand. Even I own an Acer Ferrari 4003Wlmi. I bought it for Rs.1 Lakh and spent Rs. 35000 in 4 years, only for repairs... even the Warranty extention would cost just a few thousands lesser. But there is no point as the service providers of Acer in bangalore are hopeless. For my horror the Motherboard is out of order now. If i intend to get it repaired i have to go through a lot of metal agony running behind the service provider to repair my laptop. Its better to trash this Acer stuff and buy some other laptop. I will never make the mistake of buying an Acer product again.
