The punctuality and incompetence of a drunken sailor
I booked the 14th "support" session when the 9th Epson WF-7845 failed during the warranty period. Booked sessions are NEVER ON TIME, and call backs frequently occur the following day at best but more commonly longer or not at all. The third last time, the call was booked for 4:30 pm, it still had not been recieved by 5:55 am the following day!
AT 74 YEARS OLD, I am now into my 8th day in trying to have the 9th WF-7845's failure and problems solved - 2nd last callback booked for 4:30 pm - not received by 6:35 pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I called again it once again was just a waste of time with the problem remaining unresolved.
To make this clear, I purchased the original WF-4785 in late 2023 with a Good Guys Concierge 3 year replacement Gold Extras exchange or credit and am about to take advantage of this for the 9th time for the 8th failure!!@!!!!!!!! WHY SHOULD EITHER THE GOOD GUYS OR I HAVE TO SUFFER SUCH EPSON INCOMPETENCE AND REPEATED FAILURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am about to also write reviews on Google as a Level 6 Contributor and update my review as an Ambassador Reviewer on ProductReview.com.au so that I can warn unsuspecting customers of the abysmal lack of customer support by Epson - I would love to write 5 star reviews, but minus 25 would would not reflect the lack of considation that Epson make their customers suffer!!!!!!!!
Now they expect me to wait until next week to recieve a callback yet again, this time from an overseas call centre!
On the last callback when the "customer support person" again failed miserably, he forgot to hang up the call and I could hear him joking with a colleague about the WF-7845 failures at my expense! He may think this a joke, but I certainly do not and this proved to me that they really do not care about assisting unsuspecting customers at all when major problems remain unresolved! I did a complete reload of the software, solved some of the previous, but not all of the remaining issues, so now wait in ever dwindling hope that -
1. I am home when the call comes in
2. All issues can be resolved once and for all.
If you want to ruin your life, buy an Epson A3/A4 MULTIFUNCTION OR MOST LIKLEY ANY EPSON PRODUCT!!!!!!!
