Nataly 38 #1 February 2, 2011 I bought a new laptop on 30 October 2010... On 23 December 2010 it wouldn't turn on so I called the number they gave for the Warranty. On 28 December 2010 they picked up the pc. On 11 January they returned it. They replaced the hard drive (faulty - no explanation), wiped everything from the PC (including software that came with the pc), and the pc now has scratches all over it and the left corner is damaged, leaving me to wonder if they were using my pc in-lieu of a soccer-ball... I called them (Samsung) to complain and get this - they asked me to send a letter of complaint by post!!! Wow... Just...

turtlespeed 212 #2 February 2, 2011 Does that mean that you are comparing it to the French way of doing things?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #3 February 2, 2011 Hmmm...from what I hear about the English healthcare system, seems these guys are taking lessons. Sorry about your problems. It's getting harder and harder to find a company that values it's reputation.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James.UWE 0 #14 February 2, 2011 QuoteHmmm...from what I hear about the English healthcare system, seems these guys are taking lessons. Sorry about your problems. It's getting harder and harder to find a company that values it's reputation. English healthcare is very good; having experienced the NHS (myself/family) from A&E (or ER for you guys) up to ICU. Excellent. My experience of hospital treatment in the USA however, well that's another story! Awful (admittedly only one hospital and probably not indicative of the whole lot). While people bitch and moan about the NHS, it is a world class system, that provides care for all, not just those who can afford it. Anyway, sorry for the thread drift, I guess this will probably be deleted as it's not in SC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
