Lighting a fire under their butt

10 years 4 months ago #318843 by mj~shutterbugg
What is the sure fire way to light a fire under the butt of HP? I ordered a custom PC from them 2 weeks ago. They gave me a ship date of 12/10/13. Late last night I received an email informing me that it would be delayed until Friday 12/13. I have called twice and have received a different story each time. I have been assured by the latest operator that I would receive my computer on time. I am doubtful. I have been warned they delay quite a bit. My current computer is dying fast (had to re-boot from discs twice this month) and I need one to process images that I have contracted myself to edit. I really can't afford to play games. Any ideas welcome.

I can't stand HP, are you saying the shipping date has been pushed 3 days or longer?

Actually if it's been shipped already, there might not be nothing that can be done from HP's end.

No, HP hasn't shipped it yet. According to the website it needs a part with no expected ship date. Last night I was told the 13th and then would receive the computer within 5-7 past that. Today I was told I would have the PC no later than 12/17. Something smells. And it isn't me.

ETA: It's true a squeaky wheel gets to oil. They sent out a survey last night asking how satisfied I was with the operator and then. I was a bit harsh and honest and when it asked if I wanted to speak to a supervisor I said yes. He called today and assured me the ship date and would try to bump my shipping for free. We shall see. If not then I have his number to call and yell at him :)
