ASUS prospective customers be warned. I have purchased many, many products from all the major and minor companies on this planet. But I have never been as frustrated as I have been in dealing with ASUS. Their customer service has literally out right lied and given misinformation over and over to our family. Try calling their customer service and you will see what I mean. We purchased one of their with a defective battery. After trying to call them, and going through menu after menu before actually being directed to a human, you are put on hold. Then half the time, the phone just gets disconnected. But even when you do finally get a human, and they tell you how to get an RMA. You have to of course document your purchase and date. But a week later, after thinking the RMA was good to go, you get an email telling you your purchase is out of warranty. After repeated calls and emails, with all kinds of new documentation, and finally getting them to agree you indeed have a warranty, they tell you to send the defective item, in this case the battery, you have to pay to send it back to them. Then even after two weeks of them receiving the defective item, they don’t send you the replacement. We have called, and emailed them many times, and good luck getting anyone to help other than say they will escalate the claim. Then you can expect nothing further being done again. We again are calling and emailing, and finally get an email saying the battery was sent last week, but they don’t have a tracking number. How is that possible? So we wait a while more, and still don’t receive the item. Call and email again, and now they say, they don’t know why we got the email, because it hasn’t been sent out yet. Then we try to get a supervisor. That is all but impossible to do. They are never available, but they offer to get your information to a supervisor and they will call you. That call never comes, and we have tried several times, including leaving a message with the supervisor and having the CS rep send them a message. We called the main switchboard, and asked for someone who is the supervisor’s supervisor. Evidently, there is no such animal. They just keep shining you on and on. We have even contacted Taiwan, and they handle things the same way, either no response or more lies and misinformation. There are a lot of quality companies out there selling the same merchandise, and you don’t need this kind of frustration. Shop else where and save yourself a lot of grief.

I bought a high end laptop from Asus just to find out that it's defective, went to replace it to find out that the new one is also defective after 4 days...When I went back to replace it, I was faced with an ignorant staff that doesn't know anything about Laptops. Going to the support was a different story, their recommendation was stupid & appears like they totally out this planet...Now, my laptop which I didn't had the chance to use is getting fixed at their retailer service center & it has been now a month.
Really one of the worst vendors & worst retailers I've ever dealt with.
My Recommendation; Don't Buy Asus, Specially high end products...Doesn't worth the investment

When my Asus desk top started going bad - not too long after I bought it, customer service curtly told me to buy a new hard drive. I would not have purchased Asus at all if I had known it didn't even have a simple thing like a fan installed. I lost a lot of valuable information.

Worst company ever and I will never purchase another product from Asus again. I purchased the RT-AC68U router for $190 last February 2015. When I received it I went to tech support to make sure it was set up properly. I had some internet issues with inconsistent signals and went to my cable company as the asus tech said everything was good from their end. After months of back and forth with my cable company and them fixing lines and supposedly doing everything from there end I decided a little later to check with Asus to see if maybe the tech misinformed me. Sure enough I went through several hours of troubleshooting over the phone and the tech said I am sorry sir but your router is defective. They told me I had to send it in and I said at the time I could not. My wife was in school and we needed the wifi for both her school and my work. she told me there was no other way and I said well Ill see what I can do and see if I can get a router in the mean time so that I can get it sent in. Well I finally got a router for the interim and realized she never sent me the email. I called back and they told me I had to pay to send it in. I was so frustrated that I blew up at the representative. She at one point asked me why I waited so long to send it in. this was after I had explained to her the history of my experience. When I told her that their customer service was terrible she actually told me I am not customer service I am a technical support specialist. are you kidding me? anyone who speaks to the customer on behalf of the company is considered customer service. This experience was so bad that I will tell everyone I know not to purchase Asus products. I know that a small dent but a lot of people do come to me for electronic advice. I hope enough people that had to deal with situations like mine complain and have some influence in order to help Asus understand customer service matters.

Did you try to use a different browser? Sometimes more than the website, It's a matter of poor connection/browser compatibility.
I tried to opened the TEchnical Enquiry FOrm right now and, except being a little slow it works perfectly.
Try this link:

or you can always call them:

and i am trying to contact asus via that website for escalations... but i keep filling the form and sumitting for it to tell me "Sorry! servers are busy.. so my complaint wasn't processed.
LOL
to me it is starting to look like a crap company! I always thought much higher of asus :/ but now..
i can't even contact them properly. they could have just placed an email add or anything!
Does anyone know how i could send my email of utter disgust to these guys?!

Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît entrez vos commentaires dans une langue correcte? Il ya beaucoup d'erreurs. En outre, il semble que ce soit un problème avec le magasin et non pas avec la garantie ASUS.
S'il vous plaît entrer en contact avec le support ASUS

I have already posted a complaint about ASUS and, after doing so, I worte to tehir Complaints Office in EMEA. After that I have to admit that I got a call back from an ASUS Manager that fix my probelm and changed the wrong process applied.
I have no idea qhat was your problem but, in case, write a letter (not an email) to the Asus complaint office (ask the full address).
I am sure that, if ASUS did something wrong, the complaint Managre will fix it.
I bought ASUS becasue of theyr support and now, after 6 years, even if something bad happened, I have to admit that they have no competitors for the quality of SUpport.
If they d o something wrong, they fix it

I totally agree, as I am going through the same rubbish my self with Asus. I have never in my life dealt with such an unprofessional bunch. When you do finally get to talk to a human all they say is “I’m very sorry to hear that sir, I will escalate to the next level” and guess what NOTHING! I have spent countless hours phoning and emailing and got absolutely nowhere. Even by complaining to vip.asus.com/eservice/cus_suggest.aspx which is supposedly their complete procedure I didn’t ever get a reply.i would have expected better. With that said, I can certainly say I will NEVER buy an Asus product agian

BONJOUR?
J ai acheté un netbiik pour mon fils à 200€ le 30/08/2012, quelques semaines plus tard le cheargeur tombe en panne; puis le 15/05/2012 il tombe en panne à nouveau, je l'ai deposé pour changer la batterie, le service me reclame 50€ ce que j'ai refusé, alors on me reclame 75€ sans reparer le PC. A plusieurs reprise j'ai appelé au [protected] en vain; mais le top c'est la reception d'un mail aujourd'hui me reclamant 193, 68€ et si je refuse le PC sera detruit ! je trouve que c'est scandaleux mon ordinateur qui tombe en panne tres vite ce qui signifie que le materiel est defaillant à la base et on me reclame presque son prix! je sais que plusieurs personnes ont contesté les produits Asus mais je n ai jamais imaginé qu on peut faire tout pour vous prendre de l'argent injustement
ce que je veux maintenant c'est recuper' ce materiel meme non reparé cause des fichiers importants sont dedans. quelqu'un pourrait m'aider ?merci

ASUS PROVED TO BE A GREAT COMPANY EVEN IF I HAD TO ESCALATE THE ISSUE AND I HAVE LOST 1 MONTH

Just had a similar Issue.
Computer bought in June 2010. after a week the charger got broken (replaced in warranty), good proof of support as I always had great support...
I said I has because I have just escalated an Issue after opening an RMA. After a windows update, the laptop didn't boot anymore. No way to have it booting . Opened an RMA, computer sent for rapair.
Now SBE (3rd party company supposed to fix the laptop on ASUS behalf) told me that the Issue is related to the HDD that looks like if had a shock (Laptop never carried out, always been placed on the Desk with UPS and Electrical Surge Protection Lead) and then it is not covered by Warranty!
I am waiting for the answer to my escalation but I am loosing any trust about ASUS after buying only ASUS Products in the Last 5 years and suggesting to buy ASUS Laptiop to any friend it was asking for a suggestion.
I will see if they will accept my request to have my Laptop fixed. RMA GBB3150451, Cases ID WTM2011052619127653
WTM201105261945508182 and WTM201105261822265991
