Sony India No online registration for cameras!

Hi,

I two weeks back i purchased sony DSC W80 digital camera. When i tried to register my product online http://sony.co.in or any sony domain, observed that for other than india, all countries have provision for online registration but not products bought in india why?

Its nothing but negligence of sony towards indian consumers?

Hi, My Vaio Laptop often freezes.When i serviced it they said me that is an OS issue and made a Factory OS Install.Then the Laptop works fine for 2 months and then the same problem arises. They don't listen to my comments . Just simply say that is a Operating system issue.

Sir:
I had purchased a Sony Blue Ray on 08-09-2010 with model No: HBD E-870 and with serial No: 3351754 as your dealer in Changanacherry M/s Bluemoon highly recommends abut this product. As one of his regular customer I had taken your product but on 5-3-2012 the center speaker (model no: SSCTB101 and serial no: 0006501) was not working and registered complaint with your service center in Thiruvalla. After several phone calls and service center visits I got a new speaker (model no: SSCTB101 and serial no: 0015214) on [protected] and charged Rs. 1450/- with bill No: 3385. Again on [protected] the same complaint again happened with the center speaker. I have given complaint on [protected] (complaint no: 8395). Mr. Krishnan Unni your service in charge of Thiruvalla service centre spoke to me very badly and he says that the complaint happened because I have used the home theatre with 95% of sound and asked very unnecessary questions. I already met your retailer M/S Bluemoon and explained him about the service centre dealings to customers. As the effort from the retailers side one person Mr. Arun visited my home and taken photographs of the blueray and said he will intimate me after a week.

Hi,
I Strongly support the comment of my fellow customer of SONY Cameras.
Even I purchased a SONY CYBERSHOT DSC T99 (14.1MP)on and tried to register my product as i usually do for every purchased product.
But I was shocked to find no provision for product registration in SONY India domain. For a Brand like SONY, this i feel is a severe issue in terms of Customer Handling, and should be actioned seriously as early as possible, so that we, in India can retain our trust and confidence in SONY products.
Regards,
Laxman

This really is shocking. Even i was surprised to see that there is no provision on Sony India Website for registering the products. I recently purchased DCR SR68E and wanted to register it. But then came to know that they donot have registration facility for India.

Sony India Poor service!

I am having a SONY cam coder DCR-HC42E . I was facing a problem with its LCD display.I took this to one of SONY service center. They charged me 1915 rupees for this. Service charge itself was 1000 rupees. But What I want to mention here is the attitude of the customer support executives there. They were not even ready to listen to me . Very bad customer support. I was having slight addiction to SONY brand. Almost all my electronic goods are SONY. But this is the first time I am going to a direct sony service center. This experience forced me to rethink about my selection of electronic good brand.

Thanks,
Anish.

I am having a hell of a time with these service people right now. I have given a music system to be serviced and received a call about more than a week ago that it is serviced and will be delivered on 24th. I waited but no one came. I called in the evening they told me somebody will surely come. I called on saturday (25th) on the status and was told it will surely be delivered on Sunday, but again no one visited. Its 1st October today and I am still waiting.

BEWARE OF SONY
I purchased one DVD MODEL MHCGNZ 333 D/CE 12 SERIAL NO. 6110429 in Oct.2007 thinking it as a good quality product brand.I was given three service coupon alongwih warranty coupon.. The service person for demo. came after my request on helpine was made and not on their own as is practice with other cos. Further no one came for service although three service coupons were given at the time of sales .Now, my Dvd had some problem almost after expiry of warranty period( quiet strange ) .On contacting helpline i was given tel no. of service centre M/S Plasma vision Mumbai.I requested them to send service engineer .One engineer came to my home and said that as the lens of system has to be cleaned, it has to be taken to service centre. It looked that the man was not competent and sure about the problem .It is really a shock and bad experience to face with a SONY brand.Further i sent one e-mail to customer service dept. sony india on23/02/2009 about their poor quality and after sales service. The streotyped reply without any solution to my problemwas received after five days THAT TOO AFTER repeated telephonic reminders on their help line .they provide horrible sales service but charge the maximum compared to any other co.

Leave the service guys alone for a second. take a look at the attitude of the real 'sony' guys at the call center. when my local sony service guy suggested that i pay Rs 2000/+ for a repair on a dvd player that currently costs 2600/-, naturally i reacted and called up the toll free number. without any emotion the person who attended the call suggested that i kick the dvd player off into trash because the sum of the parts do not necessarily total up to the cost of the player. it could be atleast 5 times more! so in short if one purchases a sony product in the future and it konks off, sony suggests that you dump it and purchase another one, because its much cheaper. a CRT Tv costs approx 9 grands, but if your pic tube misbehaves you are in for a real shock. the cost could be twice the amount of a brand new piece!

sony anymore? Caution Guys!

it is a complaint of your bad service regarding TV remote RM-W104. We had a problem with program key of above remote. So we had visited your service center at sec-27, noida, on 15.06.08, but instead of repaire it they made the rempte totally dumb. Now it is not working at all. We are ready to bye a new one but it not was available in their stock. So we are waiting to bye it, almost one week has completed but it is not available yet. They did not provide the substitute of it. so pls resolve our complaint ASAP

Sony India Bad service and customer harassment

We purchased a sony cyber shot camara for our corporate purpose. Model number DSC-W5, date of purchase 29/10/2005. Recently the battery cover has got damaged. We approached a nearby sony authorized service centre ACE ELECTRONICS SERVICES, J-3/7, Rajouri Garden, New Delhi - 110027. Firstly, the manager Mr. Swaroop started claiming that the warranty no more stands as the authentication number from the camara is missing though had the warranty card and original bill with us. We finally agreed to pay the actual without warranty. They made a condition after giving the estimated amount, that we have to pay 500 Rs. if we do not get the job done. They gave us 7 days period for he completion of the job. It was 12 days and the job was not done. They said they do not have the cosmetic part and they have to get it from Singapore, so we finally requested them to give us the camara for 2 days as we had some events in our store. For that they charged us 1000 Rs. for taking away our own camara and gave no receipts. Now we do not have any clues that when we shall be getting the parts replaced. Over all in this bad experience we somehow developed a bad taste for such a big brand. We do lot of events for Sony also as we displayed sony play station and many other things. The total team members are absolutely rude and illmannered in that particular location. we need a valuable justification from your end. The owner Mr. Manish is ignoring our calls and the lady over there Ms. Harpreet Kaur is very rude. As a loyal customer we are unable to take this.

We purchased a sony cyber shot camara for our corporate purpose. Model number DSC-W120, date of purchase 22/12/2008. The Same Day we found the dead pixel on LCD Screen. We approached a nearby sony authorized service centre SONY INDIA PVT LTD. # 768, 100ft Road Indiara Nagar Bangalore. On 27th of Dec 2008 We took it to service for replacement Log Information No [protected]. Hardly used for 1 hour Firstly, the manager Mr. Dilip started claiming that the warranty no more stands as the Dead Pixel we will service the camera . A camera which you bought and not used for 1 hour and service guys says that we will open it and service and give you the same how will you feel after paying a huge money on Rs 10, 000 that to a branded product like sony with the company manufactureing defect. If that was a case we can buy a local camera from market at least we get exchange. Over all in this bad experience we somehow developed a bad taste for such a big brand. We requested them for replacing the camera because it was new and hardly used it they refused saying that noooooooooooooo we can’t they asked me to speak to delhi call centre which I did Mrs Priyanka from delhi call centre promised sir I will give you a call till dated no body respond to my calls and no one is giving proper response. So I decided not to buy any sony product and inform all my colleagues friends not to buy sony any more. It’s a Waste brand its my personal request to all those who are reading don’t buy any sony product the company is not supportive after sales. The total team members are absolutely rude and illmannered in that particular location. we need a valuable justification from your end

i also feel similar problem with the service of SONY SERVICE CENTER, GHAZIABAD. my handycam DCR HC 42E have a very small problem of display. I was told at their service center that it is a small problem, we will fix it today, you can collect it in evening, we will inform you. In evening they call me and tell me that some part is not available, you will be informed and u can take it in two days. After four days i contact there, then they replied that it is not done yet, wait for one more day.
i have to go for a tour and my tickets are also reserved. What i should do; either i should cancel the reservation or forget about using the handycam in tour.
This type of bad service is common with all sony service centers, one must not trust the big brand names and big promises like SONY.
It is really very irratating and panic that you spend thousands INR for handycam and dont use it when the time comes.

I am facing a similar problem with the Bangalore service center in Jayanagar. The worst part is I have paid the money for the repair of the lens of my Sony cybershot W5 and by the time i got it home it stuck again and I gave it back and am still to hear from them since 26 April. I have contacted Sony India and been assured they will call back but to no avail.

I have facing the problem with Sony's Customer care centre Varanasi and the worst part is that no one is giving a responsible reply even after many calls.

Shocking part is that all the time the operator does not connect the call and call is disconnected while being on hold.

sony customers should suggest others not to purchse any sony product because of poor after sdales service .

I agree with all. Sony has a pathetic customer service. I doubt they have any. I registered a complaint 10 days back with the Ghaziabad service center. The Engineer came and checked the set and told that it needs to be taken to the service center. I have made dozens of calls to the service center to come and pick up the set but they don't seem to have enough time. At times, their delivery van has gone for servicing, at times the staff is on leave...some days they do not have enough time. It is really RIDICULOUS. We buy Sony products at a high price because we ASSUME that it is a big name. But this has really come as a shock. Why do we buy sony products when they can't provide good service? SHAME ON SONY...CHI CHI

I have facing the problem with Sony's Customer care centre Noida (NRI Electronics) and the worst part is even after escalation with Sony Mathura Road nothing is being done.

Shocking part is that 80% of the time the operator does not connect the call and call is disconnected while being on hold.
