PS. all I ask is to send back what I sent you and as said before WHEN
were you going to tell that you dont have any. You have to relise this
is a customer that buys your product and at the moment SEAGATE is not
top of my list becacuse of the whole service and the way you tried to
pan me off on not 1 but 2 issues. There has to be somebody there with a
bit of clout and say Yea lets pull our finger out and sort this out NOW.
Yes I could go out and buy one but WHY should I have to pay again for
something that should have been in the box from day one.
 
 Customer (Nicholl)     01/18/2008 09:22
Hi its now 18-01-08 and I ask you for the power supply lead on the
28-12-07 this is unacceptable at this rate the hard drive will be out of
warranty before I can power it up. All I ask is to send the lead ASAP I
can't believe you don't have hard drives with power packs and their
power leads at hand. Or reimbursed me the cost of one. Thank you

PS; When were you going to tell about the lead?
 
 Customer (Nicholl)     01/17/2008 11:21
I'm very disappointed in your response, I'm sitting here with a hard
drive with no power lead and you expect me to go to PCWorld and ask them
for another lead in other words you want me to buy another one. I don't
see why I have to pay twice for my own property.As you can see from this
thread I don't think you "SEAGATE" is very good customer
relations/service as I had to ask you to honor your warranty and its
still not resolved as you still have a piece of my property. As a Good
Company please stand by your Good name and put this right . I await your
response Thank you

Hi I just received your email and I'm stunned to find that it is out of
warranty when it is clearly stated on the box 2 YEARS and as said it is
only over 1 year old, in the earlier emails I sent the proof of purchase
and the cover of the box to back up my claim. Please explain as how you
come to this conclusion Thank you

Hi in response to your email I contacted you today on the telephone and
there seems to be an issue that it is only one year warranty on External
HDs but as I pointed out 1 year from shop but 2 from manufacture as
stated on box I have included a picture of the box and proof of purchase
as requested. Please noted that I'm in the UK, is there a Seagate in the
UK that deals with these issues.
Thank you
 
 Response (Agent #1)     12/06/2007 07:35
Dear ,

Thank you for your E-mail inquiry. With regards to your query, I would
be glad to assist you.

As I understand, you have run a long generic test on the drive which
resulted in a Failure. This indicates that the drive has gone bad.

If you have important data on the drive which you want to retrieve,
contact Seagate Data Recovery Support (1-800-475-0143)

Thank you,
Agent #1

 Customer (Nicholl)     12/04/2007 13:54

Re: Bad Customer Support

Hi well after nearly 8 weeks when I first ask for the lead they have finally sent me a lead happy ending ????.   I don't think so they just gone and sent me the WRONG LEAD would you beleive it after all this time and countless emails they still got it wrong . I'm telling you the customer support stinks as well  as getting the lead today I have also received an email from my first thread which closed because it has took so long to get to this point  and in the email they have ask me for my home details so they can escalate the situtation  this after me receiving a power lead  { don't forget its wrong } they dont know their Axxx from their elbow, pardon my french but its like the Keystone cops all over. Im now waiting for their response and I tell you now that I wont be out of pocket to send back the wrong lead back.
Any coments are welcome on the situtation Thanks

Re: Bad Customer Support

UPDATE: First Of all let ME apologise I do have the right lead. Its because I have been so worked up on the whole situtation and have been using a WESTERN DIGITAL HD that has a different lead and when the I opened the package and expecting a different lead I jumped the gun. So again I apologise for that but I'm not happy that it took until now to sort it out.

Re: Bad Customer Support

Were you able to contact Seagate by phone. I phoned four time yesterday and didn't get to speak to anyone. Is it possible to get in touch with someone in tech support. Thank you.
