Customer Service Rants and Raves: Good Guys and Bad Guys

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Alan

I had a very nice experience today with PJ Technologies, the makers of the WMI Explorer, WMIX, (see http://www.goverlan.com/#WMI-Enterprise-Desktop-Management).  I had to reinstall, and had misplaced the license key.  They had it to me in minutes.

I had a very disappointing experience with LG’s support for my washing machine.  I have a WM2455HW with the printed labels wearing off.  If you do a web search,  you will find that this is not an uncommon experience. I used the web chat, and the guy told me that they had to replace the hardware (no decals), and that they were unwilling to do this beyond the warranty period.  I typed “I think this is a design defect, I want to escalate”, and the chat was disconnected.  The LG washer is a good machine, but if you have one or are considering one I suggest you put packing tape over all the writing.   I have a lot of LG products (including TV), and have decided to switch manufacturers because of this unpleasant experience. Very disappointing.  And I am spending some time on my bully pulpit to suggest you do the same.
