Gateway: Worst Customer Service I Have Ever Seen
My daughter received a new Gateway laptop for Christmas. The hard drive
failed after less than 2 months. It has been at Gateway for repair for more than SIX WEEKS! And she is still waiting for it!!! First they had not hard drives to do the repair, then they were being shipped from another location. Can you believe that a major computer manufacturer is running out of hard drives for 6 weeks?? They also have a serious problem with their internal tracking system: on 3 different occasions she was told that they lost the laptop, then a supervisor told her that regular technicians can’t see it in their system when it is a product sold in Canada. Also, they do NOT have an 800 number so we probably spent over $30 in long distance charges. Believe me, STAY AWAY FROM GATEWAY, it is the worst customer service I have seen in my life. Also, read the fine print when a Future Shop employee wants to sell you an extended warranty. You may be surprised when your equipment fails. |

anyway. |

I probably should have stated "mediocre NOW". Several years ago, Gateway was
really pretty good all around. I think that their country stores drained a lot of cash, so now they are cutting corners as much as possible...
