    I didn’t realize how bad service had become until recently when I tried to get a brand new dryer repaired under warranty.

    I did everything right. In fact, I didn’t even press to get an e

    The repair truck pulled up, and the driver just sat there for about ten minutes before coming to the door. When he arrived, he mumbled so badly that I had to keep pro

    He asked what was wrong with the machine, as if he hadn’t been briefed.

    “It won’t dry clothes.”

    Looking at the machine he said “We’ve had a lot of problem

    Fast forwarding, I got an automated call on Tuesday telling me to phone in about my scheduled appointment. I am told that my parts won’t arrive in time f

    The following morning, the parts arrive in a box at my doorstep. I’m confused. Why were they sent to me and not to the s

    I call in again, and the auto-voice tells me we’re still on for Thursday’s meet.

    So, on Thursday, I baby sit the dryer from 1-5, but no one shows up.

    What that has to do with getting my clothes dried, I don’t know.

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

    Someone needs to give this behemoth of a company this message:

    Warranties and the service that makes them meaningful are not add-ons or gifts that a

    re “given” to customers.

    They are PART OF THE PRODUCT ITSELF, bargained and paid for, expected and essential satisfactions.

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip

    This is exactly where we, as consumers, need to be MORE litigious.
