ASUS Computer International

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:
The statement from the company is false. The unit was received for repair on 8/2/2017, not 8/17 as stated. (Attached is a screen print from THEIR website showing my tablet as being in service since 8/2/2017). It is now 8/28 and ASUS has had the table in for repair now for 26 days. This is totally unacceptable for anyone. And as stated previously, they have lied to me at least three times by saying they would send out an email to service to have them notify me what is happening and this has never happened. They have lied about it being finished and being sent back; last week on a call ASUS made to my phone number. These calls are all documented and my cell phone service provider has their numbers listed as incoming and outgoing.
They say they cannot give a refund, I call that out as not accurate. A corporation as large as ASUS could easily issue a check in the amount of $299.99 if they so desired. Amazon, the seller does not give refunds for items over 30 days and why should [redacted] be punished cause ASUS cannot produce a table that will work for over four months, and then returned, cannot repair it, either by not having the technicians who know how to fix their product, having the needed parts in stock, or just wanting to punish the customer.
Last week I requested a new unit since they appear not to be able to fix the returned unit and they denied that. And now they say they cannot issue a refund? 
I'm getting the opinion they do not want to repair, replace, or refund for this tablet that I had the misfortune to purchase; something I can guarantee will never happen since I will NEVER purchase any product made by ASUS.
Therefore, the only decent resolution to this problem is for ASUS to issue a refund and close the matter, not only for me, but for them. I am not asking for payment for covers purchase for the failed device, or even sales tax; just the initial cost which was $299.99. 
 
Sincerely,[redacted]

Dear Customer, 
Looking into your case, I see your unit is actually already in the process of being replaced at this time, which you should be well aware of at this point as you had to approve the replacement. I will ask that the replacement is shipped out as soon as possible. Please let me...

know if you have any other questions or conerns.

Thank you for getting back to me and with a very reasonable solution. My address has been updated on my Asus account to be sent back to the address with the XXXXX zip code. I purchased a flash drive to back up my files and Ill be shipping it out right when I receive the return label. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and I don't get any charges. Thanks again.

Dear Customer,
Looking into this matter for you, your best bet would be to get a phone that supports wireless AC. The below phones support AC:

As far as swapping your current phone out for one, I do not believe that is something we will be able to do.

Dear Customer,
You will need to contact the appropriate department at the Singapore Facility. Your unit is zoned to that region, ASUS does not do international warranties. All of our products are zoned to certain regions. They can only be...

serviced in that region. I do apologize but you will need to contact the Singapore Facility for this matter.

Dear Mr. [redacted],

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:the response hardly makes any sense grammatically, any suggested action is guaranteed to be lost in a mountain of corporate bureaucracy, and I am not satisfied with the reparations and lack of responsibility displayed.
 
I was told by a representative of the company through their official website chat service that the missing serial number would not affect the status of my RMA. After the months of awful communication from this company, I cannot accept more shipping charges that will result in even more costs to me because they refuse to acknowledge their mistake.Sincerely,[redacted]

Dear [redacted],
Unfortunately ASUS does not provide refunds as per ASUS warranty policy.  For refunds you would need to contact the point of sale.  Please see this link for full warranty terms - [redacted]
Since you have had several RMA’s on this unit...

we are willing to replace the product for you with a recertified model change so a different computer model all together.  If you are interested please let me know and I will get the process going for you.
Best Regards,

Dear Customer,
I apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may have caused. I understand you have had a failed repair and do not wish to send the unit in to our repair facility again. But, the only option for repair or even...

replacement if that is what you are seeking is for you to send the unit in. If you are willing to do that, I should have no issue getting the unit replaced with a remanufactured replacement for you. That might not be exactly what you are wanting to do, but that is what our warranty outlines for getting warranty repairs done. The unit needs to be sent to us. I can provide you a prepaid FedEx label to cover sending the unit in as well. Please let me know if you would like to move forward with a replacement and I will get that all setup for you.
You can review the warranty terms and agreements here: http://www.asus.com/us/support/Article/675/. That will also outline where we are not responsible for any data loss, as everything needs to be backed up by the customer before sending in repair.

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
I don't accept your apology, firstly because you seek to replace the brand new computer with a re manufactured unit, secondly during my previous experience the computer was sitting in your offices for over a month with the only repair done the reparation of the OS. My son has school work that has to be completed on the computer and cannot wait another 30 days. Either send a new replacement graphics card of the same model, provide me with directions to a location near where I live where the computer can be repaired, send a brand new computer, or return my money.
Final Consumer Response /* (3000, 44, 2015/11/25) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I purchased a new computer, and I paid a lot of money for it. I have complied with my obligations under the contract, I sent my computer for repair, the computer went there for more than a month, and the computer came back with more problems.
Your request to send back my computer for repair or for replacement without any guarantee that my computer will be replaced for a new one is unacceptable.
ASUS can easily resolve this problem by:
(a) ASUS sending a new graphics card and we will send back the old one, and ASUS don't have to pay for the repair, or
(b) ASUS can find a local repair center, (at their consideration), and I will bring the computer for repair. The repair center will fix the computer and ASUS will pay for the repair.
Thank you.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 46, 2015/11/30) */
Dear Customer,
I deeply apologize, but we cannot just send out a graphics card for this unit. That is why I have informed you that you need to send the unit in to have this issue resolved. The only option for getting this unit repaired/replaced, is to send the unit in for an RMA. We will not be able to pay for services from another company. You can send the unit in under the warranty and we will do as the warranty states we will do. If the unit is not repairable, it will be replaced. I completely understand your frustration, however, the option I have given you is what we can offer you.

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because: The situation remains unchanged. They refuse to acknowledge that their website advertised a two-year warranty at the time of purchase, which was one of the major factors in my decision to buy this laptop.
They also are notably avoiding the issue of the outlandish decision to make the battery require a complete disassembly of the laptop to replace and the exorbitant cost they have ascribed to having that done. 
At this point, I have no faith that they will do anything to change the situation, and Asus has lost all future business from me. As a repeat customer who has recommended their products in the past, I hope the gravity of this is not lost on them. They have lost a great deal more with this foolishness than they realize.
Sincerely,[redacted]

I accept the response. I can't understand how a product being sent in without a serial number on file caused a 7 Day delay, Are they reading 1 digit a day? It just doesn't make sense.
Nevertheless Thank you for repairing the item or replacing it for free.
[redacted]

I would absolutely consider an upgrade. Please tell me what the specs of the replacement unit are, and I will consider it.
 
 
Thanks. [redacted]

Dear Customer,
I apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. I appreciate your patience regarding this matter.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer any kind of refunds or monetary compensations. You did not buy the notebook...

from us, so it is impossible for us to refund money we never received.
I will review your cases and service returns and will provide an update as soon as possible. In the meantime can you please submit your proof of purchase to ensure the validity of your warranty period. The receipt/invoice will need to display the: company's logo, date of purchase, cost, serial and/or model number of ASUS product and it will have to be a PDF or JPG file. Unacceptable forms of proof of purchase are: bank statements, screen shots, forwarded e-mails, copy & pasted e-mails.
You will be able to attach the proof to your replies to the Revdex.com.

Dear [redacted],
I very much apologize for the issues you have experienced. 
Looking into your case I do see where the original RMA repair details stated that the battery was fixed and the BIOS was updated then unit tested OK.  In order to have this issue resolved you will need to...

send this unit in for repair.  If you can provide detailed problem description, I can pass that along to the repair facility.
Per ASUS warranty policy ASUS will repair the unit if it is under warranty free of charge, however ASUS does not provide refunds in any manner.  If a refund is required you would need to reach out to the point of sale and request a refund.
RMA [redacted] was issued and a pre-paid label from FedEx was provided to you to send the product in for service.
I very much apologize for the issues.
Best Regards,

Dear Customer, 
I completely understand where you are coming from and your frustration regarding this as well. However, as we have previously discussed via email, my superiors have very clearly informed me that we cannot do anything outside of what we have already offered. I have gotten it approved that we can replace your current board with the new in box Rampage V Extreme/U3.1 I have located or another model that is close to the price range of this motherboard. 
What we are offering you is not another replacement of same motherboard, we are offering you quite a bit of an upgrade to a much nicer and much more capable motherboard. 
I understand you have already purchased another motherboard, however that does not change our policies and what I have been informed is the only options by my superiors. We are not going to be able to do anything outside of what I have already offered. Again, I am very sorry about this situation. 
Along with the replacement I can extend your warranty for 3 months for the loss time. But we will not be able to replace your product with another product, we can only replace your motherboard with a motherboard.

okay, please do so. The last response I got from Asus was they will reject all my RMA and returned the computer back to me. This is totally unacceptable, please give me your direct email address so I can foward you all the conversations I had with Asus customer service.
