HP

In my many, many years as an HP customer, I have never received such inexcusable treatment! I am completely astounded by the stupidity and complete lack of customer service. Over the years, I have had my share of issues but they are usually resolved properly. I have purchased many, many products from HP from networking systems, commercial printers, personal computers, laptops and All-In-One printers and other equipment for personal use. I've recommended HP to my customers and others. No more.

Here's why: For the past 3 months, I have been going round and round with these fools over a myriad of issues with my pc. After two repair depot servicings, in which nothing was fixed, despite my pains-takingly completing their repair form. One would think (hope, actually) that if an Executive Case Manager was involved, issues would be taken care of appropriately. Not the case here. Instead, after a month of the CM not returning messages, my machine crashed... I mean crash and burned! So, I am forced to send it in yet a second time. One would hope that the second time they would get it right. One's hope would be misplaced in this situation. Not only was the unit not repaired, despite enclosing a copy of the original repair form, it was sent to the wrong address in a DIFFERENT STATE! Let me back up a bit. This is the 3rd CM involved, who did not even bother to confirm the shipping address. The 2nd dropped the ball, much like the first one. However, the 2nd one decided to break a promise... to make several attempts to contact me within 3 days. She made only 1 attempt.

As if this wasn't bad enough, after I wrote an extensive letter to the President & CEO. I received a phone call from yet another CM. She had the unmitigated gall to ask if I would be willing to send my unit back to them a 3rd time. This is not only laughable, but an insult to my intelligence. WHY would I want to even consider trusting them after such blunders? I have no way of believing they would even send it back to the correct address... heck, for all I know, they'd try sending it to S. Claus, North Pole, let alone even fix it. Apparently, my extended warranty is worthless.

It's a real shame. Since Carly Fiorina was forced to resign, HP has changed in a very, very negative way. I just don't care anymore. HP has lost a long-time, loyal customer and any credibility. Unfortunately, HP is so big, they probably couldn't care less. One customer. Well, this one customer is going to discourage anyone he can from buying HP. If I am asked, I will not recommend HP. In fact, I will encourage people to switch to Mac.

Perhaps I may have approached your Board before, my complaint about the intHP 2800 I bought through Dell paid for online (Call Centre in India) around £ 450 remains unresolved for over two years.
I even e-mailed to CEO of HP called Mr Hurd. He has abscounded but this joint called HP still looting the
cosumers around the Globe.
I believe you as respected champion of cosumer's rights. Kindly help me as I'm a retired person of meager means, never cheated nor wish to be cheated.

My Hp laser Jet 1005 Printer could not work proper.
at printing time page not print proper. a gap of space is showing on all page.

Had my HP Presario 500 Laptop just over 2 yrs, had to have it sent away after 1 yr for the Wireless connection not working, had the Motherboard relaced, another year gone by and it's goe again. No support from HP whatsoever. I'v researched this on the Internetand know this common fault that they should have rectified a long time ago. My advice would be to never buy an HP computer.

HP SUCKS *** HP SUCKS *** HP SUCKS

I bought 2 HP Pavilion Laptops and one of them was giving software (OS) problem from the beginning. I sent the laptop to HP to re-image. Even after re-imaging the laptop (OS) didn't work after a while. Looks like they put corrupted OS again. I had a original HP recovery DVD that I bought from HP which did not the do the job either. Every time I try to recover and restart it goes to recover mode again. When I called the HP Support they said it is Motherboard issue and they asked me to pay $400.00 to fix the issue. I performed hardware tests many times and all the tests passed. To double confirm my tests I approached a local computer store they also did hardware test and everything passed. They said it is the problem with the HP original recovery CD and all I need to do is re-image the system.

When I called the HP support to send the OS CD they said they cannot send the original OS CD because it is not their policy to send the OS CD. I asked the customer support rep and supervisor that when I bought this laptop I also bought license for the OS so why he cannot send the OS CD again. He said he cannot send the original OS CD but I can only buy the OS recovery CD again from them. When I said I already own a recovery CD from HP and it is not working then he said I need to send the laptop to HP and I need to pay more than $100 bucks to re-image the laptop. From this I understood that HP rips of their customers big time.

I also own couple of Dell laptops. Dell send all the necessary CDs (OS, Drivers, etc) along with purchase of system. Also their customer support is very good unlike HP.

I am a software 10 years and did hardware job for 5 years. I contacted HP multiple times in last three days to fix this issue. All HP tried to do is rip my wallet for a simple OS problem. Imagine a person who buys a HP computer without computer knowledge?

Beware of HP and their sucking support!

HP SUCKS *** HP SUCKS *** HP SUCKS

we to date have purchased hp printers model no: 1050A deskjet printer this has ruined my furniture by leaking ink all over a wardrobe whitch to fully replace will cost £450:00P
i fully expect this amount to replace my furniture and the money for the new printer whitch was faulty:
i have contacted westcoast limited and been told argos company is responible for my replacement furniture and printer:
£500:00P is requred for wardrobe and new replacement printer

REFERENCE NUMBER: PR05352

I purchased a laptop from HP less than 2 years ago. Within the first year, the hard drive crashed, rendering the laptop useless obviously. After several hours on the phone with their customer service department, they agreed it was still under warranty and replaced the hard drive, which was satisfactory, although I was left with no computer for over a week and lost a lot of valuable data. Now, less than a year later, the replacement hard drive has also crashed. Fortunately, I backed everything up, But HP customer service says that although they acknowledge that it is likely something wrong with the system causing the hard drives to crash so frequently, and thus thier responsibility, it is no long under warranty, and therefore not thier problem.

Shame on you Hewlett Packard ! You use companies like Teletech, Wipro, Stream, etc, to be your call centers and have no conscience or concern about the lies that the agents that work in these companies routinely tell to your customers, and the disguise of thinking that the customers are calling for technical support when really the tech agents main focus is to sell something to the person on the other end of the phone, doesnt matter if the person needs or wants the item, doesnt matter if promises are made and broken, doesnt matter that the agents tell them they will get a call back, after they have made the sale of course, and never get called. Hewlett Packard you have become shameless. And you suck.

I have had my HP Officejet J4680 for less than a year and have had NOTHING but problems with it. I was told that the printer cartridges are bad and need to replace them, replacing them may not fix the problem with my printer. HP will not replace the printer cartridges. I refuse to spend the excessive amount of money needed to replace them not knowing if the problem will be resolved. I will NEVER EVER buy an HP product again and will NEVER recommend them to anyone. I have spent more time on the phone with tech support than I have time for. HP, thanks for nothing.

DEAR sir
i did not get my free gift till now but i had purchased the laptop on 11th NOVEMBER 2012
and the gift was NIKON camera.
please contact me on [protected].

I have an hp Pavilion dv7. I bought it in August, and it was great. . . for one week. Then it became very, very slow. To open Word takes at least a full minute. I have run Norton 360 on it since I bought it and had not gone to any sketchy websites. The DVD player also doesn't work - if I put in a disk, eject it, repeat about 50 times, it might work once. Very frustrating. I don't know how this company can sell this junk.

My dv7-1135nr is having the same problems as with those that are part of the class action.
Apparently my model isn't included. I have graphic problems. I can see typing pretty well, but every thing else is a mess. I have only had this laptop for 1 1/2 years...out of warranty. Can;t get anyone to tell me if the graphics card is integrated with the motherboard with out spending money. Of course if it is innegrated then the best option will be a new laptop. Why spend money to tell me its integrated with most laptops are..

I agree it wont play DVDs and it at times has a mind of its own...I thought it was me...but your complaint is so much in line with what I have been experiencing

I totally agree with you.
I have an hp dv6000 as well, and I've been having nothing but troubles with it..
Wireless adapter not working anymore, battery not lasting more than 3 minutes without AC and my power bar just decided not to work anymore forcing me to buy another one..

Never to buy an hp notebook again.

I have a very similar problem to this with 2 X Z Book 15 G2 laptops and have just received a call from an Oliver Dyson (manager of HP customer relations UK)... He is by far the most arogant person I've spoekn to for a long time. He couldn't care less about the issues I've had or the loss of business/time I've spent trying to fix the laptop with their customer support. Then told me I had a bad attitude. Stay away from HP if possible. There are plenty of better makes out there.

March 2015
I also have had several issues with n HP Laptop and dealt with Oliver Dyson and wish to describe my Consumer experience in here. I found Oliver Dyson arrogant and very unprofessional - simply put he did not really care about the issues I have had with the machine, the time I wasted trying to fix it with the assistance of HP Tech Support, who I found them to being very good by the way, and even more he came across totally as not caring. I do not know why HP does not train this individual but he is extremely arrogant and it is a pity because it gives HP Customer Service a very bad experience. Shame.

I purchased an HP computer in August, 2006. In October of this year the monitor began to blur and become wavy. At time it was not usable. I tried all trouble shooting suggestions that came with the computer. As a last resort I called tech support only to be told "sorry, it is 1 month out of warranty, can't do anything; guess you will have to buy a new one". It is almost impossible to reach anyone higher up. If they do not build better products than this, they should not be on the market at the prices they charge.

I most assuredly agree, I just wrote the BBB, I have a desktop and a laptop. Both break down all the time and I am fed up with it. My BBB letter is being forwarded to the President's office at HP.

I had to change my banking information, so I need a contact number to pay my Smart Friend monthly premium bill. Have been unable to get one,

I am having a hard time with hp concerning a bad keyboard. I was told to send it back, but when I did it a was gone 3 weeks. I finally called today and after being transferred around thier support system for over a hour, I was told that the keyboard was being returned because I "sent the keyboard only". I clearly told the man that the keyboard only was defective.We actually went thru several tests to make sure it was the keyboard only. How stupid can you get? They are suppose to be sending it back. Iwastold to place another order. Plus the dam thing keeps crashing.

I recently purcahsed an HP laptop on July 4th using my husband's Credit card. We found it was denied since they couldn't verify that I had permission to use, whatever methods they used for verification were very inefficient. I had to spend 30 mins on the phone trying to explain to them I was his wife and was making the purchase and that my husband was out of the country and could not be reached on his cell phone. The people were extremely rude and actually hung up on me.

In the end my husband had to call them himself and explain to them he wasnt in the US and that he authorized me to handle the process. When he tried to file a complaint about the sort of service we had been given, he was actually hung up on too!

We're never buying anything off the HP website again, they're customer service is absolutely pathetic!

HP has the WORST customer service EVER. So far 35mins returning their call to get a fedex box to return my 2wk old crashed computer.

I spent 7 mins navigating through an automatic answering service that was confusing, very frustrating, and ultimately pointless. I had to repeat my address and email 4 times during the call, there were numerous numbers thrown at me as well as an explanation of the 11th anniversary of HP in India (what?!). Everything that was repeated to me was already confirmed in previous emails, and I was told everything we talked about today would also be sent in an email. I was told the anti-virus software that CAME WITH THE COMPUTER was faulty and I had to BUY a different program for $49.00. Apply my hourly to the time of the call, and today alone I've spent 2.1 times the cost of the original purchase, in addition to the original service inquiry and follow-up emails.

And now they want me to pay for shipping, too.

I feel your pain. I have too suffered the consequences of owning a faulty HP laptop and going through their illiterate Customer service and Downgrading repair parts sending process but putting labels of the boxes so that you think you received the same... I am a MCSA with Security+ certified and have over 10+ years of computer assembly experience. I was able to pinpoint my computers BSOD to one of the memory modules being bad and it had to be the bigger size one... So anyways, I go ahead and call HP to get it replaced. Everything goes well and it’s in warranty so they will send me one which in the order details stated to be the EXACT same one given the Replacement Model Number my module had. The first pack was never received because Fedex simply never left notices on my residence and they sent it back to hp. So after I waited 10 days, I have to redo the order... But then on the second I get it finally but after I unpack and check the specs it was rather a DOWNGRADED compatible memory module PC3-8500S instead of PC3-10600S (The bus speed was rather 1066mhz instead of 1333mhz which is what my laptop came with, a G62). So I call and they understood it was a data entry error and they will send now the correct one but I explain to him that even thou the order details said another laptop model, the actual Part number was exactly the same and the SHIPPING box had the labels for the PC3-10600 EVEN THOU they had placed a PC3-8500S inside... Anyways they said they will fix everything so I was happy. So then I send the second package back and the next they I received the THIRD package. So I happily opened to get my laptop fixed FINALLY... But what happens when I verify the module before I even get it out of the anti-static back? IT WAS a PC3-8500S! Jesus Christ... Can this people be for reals? So now I am extremely upset and call them. I explain the situation and now he tells me that the memory module is discontinued that I couldn't have received that part... And now he wants me to send the laptop in to get if fixed... How will I send the laptop and expect them to send me back the right one if they can't even send me the correct memory module? I explain this to him and he says there is not thing else they can do... He then tells me that he has spent too much time and has to end the call and asks me if he can help me with something else... So obviously I hanged up right in his face because that is the most disrespectful and unprofessional service I have ever be through. I had done the initial case through chat but then I did the rest though phone calls which would send me to the Hispanic customer service. So thinking I would get a better service if I do it with english speaking customer service, I went online and tried to get this fixed through the online chat. Big mistake... Just like the first chat session, the representative hardly spelled one sentence correctly. And then he first told me the memory modules were the same, I explain to him they are not. THEN he does his little research and he says they are compatible. I explain to him compatibility is not the issue, PERFORMANCE is... How can you replace my defective/expensive/faster part with a down grade cheaper one when it still in warranty? Then he tells me that the one I got is also 1333mhz... I'm like "Oh so you guys designed these PC3-8500S to run at that bus clock speed?" So then he does "more research" and FINALLY sees my point. I kind of hate this because all they try to do is get clients out of their way with false statements and maybe even scam them with lower quality crap parts. What is even worst, either their packaging people label boxes with proper item tags but the actual contents are not OR their inventory people do that... Anyways at the end of the chat, he tells me a Case manager is going to call me in 2 business days. If the 2 business days go by, I will just keep the part, test it, make sure it works, send the bad one back and simply never EVER buy hp equipment ever again. And I will just buy a 4GB memory module 1333mhz on ebay and sell HPs 2GB 1066mhz locally for the same price I got the ebay one lol But I do see how this people probably deceive a lot of computer uneducated people with their downgraded replacement parts and illiterate lying customer service and they think they got a great service...

I will also say the same to anyone who asks me about HP and will recommend Toshiba which I have owned over the years and had NEVER malfunction on me even the pre-owned ones which I have used over 5-6 years and still in use with 0 parts replaced. Maybe even ACER which I kind of hate because of their low quality internals look but you get what you paid for... Not the case with HP thou, you get less hahaha

I have an HP pavilion Dv6000 whitch is about two and a half years old. I was just told my vidio card is out and it would be cheaper to buy a new one than to fix this one. Frist of all I think a computer should last longer than two and a half years, second I was suppose to get a $175. 00 rebate which has never come after checking on it three times. So without getting the rebate, this computer has cost me about $375. 00 dollars a year to own. I will never buy another Hp product and will tell every one I can to move to another brand, I think your product is to exspensive to own.

Credit cards are not supposed to be shared. It doesn't matter if you are his wife, his kid or a scammer trying to use his card. You do not have the authority to use it even with his permission. HP was right to deny this request.

THE SERVICE OF HP IS POOR IN MY CASE I HOPE THE COMPANY WILL LOOK INTO IT

Had you called HP service is Markham, they would have repaired your laptop free of charge. How do I know this? The same thing happened to me. Apparently there was a batch of bad capacitors which affected many laptop motherboards, HP included. I have a dead MOBO on an Asus desktop as well. You can see the caps all bulged on the tops, instead of flat. All that Futureshop and Best Buy are half the time is, salespeople. I think that's why I went to Apple Mac. I deal with Apple people not some other reseller. My two cents for what it's worth.

I am also sufferer of HP Notebook..HP Product Name: HP Pavilion Notebook DV9429, which I bought in US Dec '07 and Came back to India same month.

Due to some technical, my notebook is not working no display. So I went to HP local service centre(chennai) on 15th Nov '08. Initially they said :

* They wont take out of country purchase notebook for service.
After talking to US HP customer care then they agreed to take after few days.

* When decided to take it service, they started saying ur notebook has warranty expired. I said how come its brand new laptop and not even one year old. Then I showed only purchase copy. Thier representative said we wont deal with Notebook which are bought online. I really got shocked then where can I get service for online purchase. He didnt answer anything. Finally somehow they managed to accept my notebook for service.

* I was asked to take back up of data's as a procedure, so i took my laptop and promised them to handover for service same say evening, Mean while few hours later I got call saying that you dont have serial no sticker at the back side of the notebook.

Its really made me annoy. Then could nt even know how find the serial no in laptop if its not there at the back of the notebook. I showed in the bias. They agreed. Thank god finally war got over !

HP customer service manger (chennai) and regional manager apologised me for inconvience. They promised your notebook will ready within 3 days if parts are available in india or 10 days if its from overseas.

I said ok.

Now its been 30 days but no proper response. Everytime I call them they send SMS after that saying we awaiting part arrival confirmation date HP GSO.

Whats this .. IS this the way to treat customer.

After spending lots of lots money in this machine if no service means, They shd be ashamed of themselves.

This is really disgusting. now I am planning to file a case against HP In cunsumer court.

Please people who are suffereing from HP join with me. Dont Buy HP notebooks please ...

I too have problem with HP Deskjet F4288 model. If refill the cartridge once, can't work properly. I feel very bad

Iam also having same problems with 4288 model.poor scan quality highly expencive print cost and use and throw catridges. Yes they are dumping US/UK rejected products in INDIA.

I prefer canan printers to my costomers from today on words..bye bye HP.

NEW GENERATION COMPUTERS.

I bought a new HP4288 printer 4 days ago. The paper was getting jammed from the day I installed it - a complaint which was also there with my earlier HP printer. I called up their tech service who were supposed to send their "Technician" the next day. For the last 3 days the technicain calls up to cancel coming. I can't figure out how (1) a reputed company like HP has such sub standard products and (2) what kind of people they use or outsource for service without acertaining the damage they can do to the company.

This is the last time I'm going to use ANY HP product. This company is blacklisted as far as I'm concerned and I'd recommend that buyers beware before buying any HP product.

I too have a very bad experience with HP printer come scanner I was using a HP Deskjet F4185 since February 2008 and it worked well for me and the 21 & 22 cartridges was refillable and printing cost was very less. when I thought of buying another printer I did not think twice and was looking for the same model but I come to understand that the model is no longer in production and the developed model of the same available is F4288 unfortunately without studding more about this model and my trust with the company I purchased HP F4288, but the 818 cartridge are impossible to refilling and new cartridge cost Rs: 720/- and only one hundred sheets can be printed with a cartridge which cost Rs: 720/- and I can only charge Rs: 1/- per sheet from the customer. When I contacted their customer care they replied that HP do not recommend refill cartridge. Now I must say goodbye to HP and move to Cannon or some other manufacturer.

that is bad bad bad, i just talked to a few vendors, about buying this printer, but now i will have to look for other choices.

Going by the complaint, it looks like these MNCs are dumping rejected stuff in other countries like US/UK into indian market. We are the bakraas as indian consumer not backed by 'Replacement guarantee' here. Beware of such products

I too had a very bad experience buying a HP4288 Printer/Scanner/Copier.

The Scanner would never give the proper colour output in the scanned images. When this was brought to the notice of the company, they took the machine for service. Even after a month I did not get back the scanner replaced or my complaint rectified. After repeated requests they say that this is the technology they are using and there is nothing much that can be done about it. Can you ever think of your sparkling white shirt showing a pink hue or your sky blue saree being shown in an odd green colour in the scanned image?

This is HP all about. So friends when you go for an HP Product, think twice and double cross check with you vendor. I had to come to this decision after such a harrowing experience with HP.

This is a notice to all prospective HP product buyers...
