Review: I purchased a Sony [redacted] receiver a few months ago. The receiver started having issues right away. I've contacted support several times but end result is usually either a long hold time with the call getting disconnected or a support representative who does not understand the issue or is not empowered to actually help and just reads me some random non-sense from a script it seems. Please help. My receiver randomly powers itself off (it's not the automatic power down setting, I've checked...it's while there it is in operation), the wireless feature is not working - it seems my wireless network but does not connect to it anymore, and the receiver randomly freezes when connected to HDMI sources. I've had quite enough. Please help address the issues.Desired Settlement: I would like the receiver replaced or I would like my purchase price refunded. Thank you.

Review: Hi,I have been trying to resolve the concern with the Sony service center and its associated customer service center for the past 2 months at the customer support number as I had to send a Sony smart Band which was defective and was under warranty. They sent me a faulty one as a replacement which I sent it back again on Dec twenty three using [redacted] and it was received by them and signed for by [redacted] in the morning on Dec twenty sixth. Since then I have been calling them and spoke to a dozen of the customer reps and few supervisors but I have not got a solution from them about receiving the SMART BAND back. I always get to listen the same answer that they are investigating and researching about my product. Their turn around time is 14 days. All these I have not been able to train and stay fit because I don't have my everyday companion which tracks my activity, sleep and exercise. I have even requested them to send the next version as this product which I bought is having issues and they have not even responded to them. The customer service is so pathetic that they don't care about the consumer. I did not expect this from an Organization like SONY. Hope to get this resolved and get my product asap and register a fraud complaint against their services and products.Thanks,[redacted]Desired Settlement: Need refund for my time ( as I was frustrated and at times felt very depressed for their behavior and attitude), phone calls and the item I sent and need an upgrade for the purchase as this product does not work.

Lets reopen the case and keep it the same way until this matter is resolved. They did not solve my issue for almost 5 months now and they need another 6 weeks which iam not sure of what they would do.I would like to proceed legally also for the wasting my time and making my working routine disturbed which took me into distress and frustration. This is some kind of cheating from an organization like SONY. Thanks,[redacted]

Thank you for coming back to me with your response. Please see the attached image and advise me whether this is the expected quality from this model at dusk.

Review: I ordered an AC/DC music bundle (LP and Blue Ray DVD) from Sony (via AC/DC website). They never sent the LP and I've been waiting for it since April. I've inquired numerous times over the past 5 months (via email and have the entire thread if needed) about a ship date and every exchange is we don;t have a date, but we'll get back to you and they never do. I finally was tired of the delays and no dates for shipping and asked for a refund. They said no problem, but I've been waiting on that since 7/**. Every time I ask where my refund is they give me excuses that it's not their dept and they have expedited it, but nothing ever happens. I've asked to have a Mgr call me and they say they can't do that. I'm tired of the excuses for doing a simple refund that they said they would process. Here are some details if needed regarding the order: Order ID: [redacted] Store: [redacted] Country: [redacted] Even though owned by Sony they seem to have their own website (diff from what is listed for Sony in this Revdex.com form) - [redacted] Thank you [redacted]Desired Settlement: I want my credit card refunded immediately.

Review: On October *, 2013, I pre-ordered a Exclusive Fan Edition [redacted] with my name printed in the cd booklet. Between the time of the pre-order and the date (November **, 2013) I received an email from them cancelling my order and to contact them immediately, I had a security issue with my credit card and the credit card company changed my account number. It was more than a month, so it slipped my mind that My Play Direct (Sony Music) had the old credit card number. I used the link provided in the email and explained the situation and for them to contact me for my new card number. I received an auto-response stating they received my email and it would take several days to respond. There is no telephone number listed and the only way to communicate is through email. On November **, 2013, I still did not hear from them, so I sent another email, and still no response. The [redacted] was released today, November **, 2013 and as a fan I have no cd, no custom cd booklet.....nothing. Why say contact us immediately and then not respond? I don't know how they run a business like that. I couldn't believe they were part of Sony Music when I made this complaint. I think the artists they represent should be notified of how they treat fans.Desired Settlement: I expect an apology, delivery of my custom cd with my name in the booklet, and it to be received complimentary for my trouble, my disappointment and their lack of service. This is my first and last transaction with this company. Thank you.

Review: The over all picture quality is good. My biggest complaints are when playing video games (PS4) there is a lot of lag. Also after just 4 months of having this TV my HDMI 1 port went out. Called Sony to get it repaired and the part is on back order,so they wanted to replace the TV with a 32 inch 1080p TV. Only after I said no because my TV is 65 inches and 4K,they said they would replace it with the same TV but it is going to be refurbished. Plus Sony wants to hold me accountable and charge my credit card if the delivery company does not send back the TV, I will have to pay it my self. After already paying 7000.00 cash for the TV. This is stupid that I am having to jump through so many hoops to just get the TV fixed.Desired Settlement: I feel that because the TV is only 4 months old I should get a new TV,also because this is a known issue with this TV and the HDMI ports going out. I don't really know what I want because part of me wants it all refunded and I will just go buy a different brand or they can replace it with a brand new one I feel if I have to be giving A used TV the least they could do is give me and upgrade to the next size up.

Review: I have been working with Sony service repair center for a month and half. Last known contact was to send them a video of the screen issue. I bought this TV at a Sony store in [redacted] for $1800 this Jan, and it turn itself off and on and it change brightness by itself. I had also bought another XBR, 7 years ago with Sony not one issue. But with this TV just 6 months is having all kind of issues. I have been waiting for there response for a while now and no one seems to contact me. I am a Sony fan and has but a TV only 6 months old and with bad service response I am force to make this complain. I have send multiple e-mail to sony customer service with no response.

My case number with Sony is [redacted]Desired Settlement: Refund- I really don't trust Sony anymore. if this TV fails in less than 6 months, how could I trust that a replacement TV will last me more than another year. and to pay $1800.00 for a TV less than a year is totally not worth it for me, and it doesn't make sense for anyone to purchase a TV and only last less than 6 months.

I was going to just ask them to exchange but with the really bad warranty service, I want my refund.

Sony did offer me the solution of replacement, but to date I haven't received the replacement TV. They told me 5-7 business days and than when I call just yesterday they told me 7-10 business, that is why I didn't respond to the request.

I am hoping they could deliver the replacement TV soon, the TV is going from bad to worst, sometime it doesn't even turn on now.

Review: Purchased Sony Xperia Z3 phone on Oct [redacted]. Nov. [redacted] phone broke. Sent out on Nov [redacted] and confirmation of delivery Nov [redacted]. No contact for 14 business days. Called company to find out what the delay was and was told that they were waiting for a part to come in. A week later, same story. Have been told multiple times that the issue has been escalated. Talked with customer service representative stating that I would need to call and speak with supervisor, however, there was no supervisor available. I had to pay phone bill for a month of no service and for cost of phone.Desired Settlement: I want the phone that I ordered repaired and store credit for having been without a phone for almost 30 days. I find it highly unacceptable practice that these repairs take so long and that they don't seem to have a part that is very crucial, as it would seem, in repairing any product. The complete lack of communication on part of Sony Xperia Support regarding the matter is also unacceptable. More communication is greatly needed regarding matters such as these.

Sony was contacted via email and was advised to contact the Sony's parts and accessories team (Encompass) to check for the part availability.

Review: Hello-

In June of 2011 I got the Sony BRAVIA [redacted] 55-Inch 1080p 3D LED HDTV, Black (2011 Model) and paid 1888.00 + got a 5 year extended warranty making the total after tax over $2100.00. Since I received my TV in 2011 I have had nothing but problems. Soon after I reported that the TV would turn on and off by it self. Soon after Sony sent out a repair company to replace pieces of my tv attempting to fix the problem. This went on with 4 visits from the TV repair man made over the course of the last 26 months. But still to this day my TV still turns on and off by itself. At this last visit the repair man told me he had replaced everything in the tv he could with out replaces the screen so he was going to be in a request for a new screen. About a week later I get a call from Sony saying it is for cost effective for them to just replace the TV with a model like it or buy it back. Which to me at the time sounded like a good plan until I heard the details. I called them today 11.**.13 and was on hold for an hour and 15 minutes to find our basic information which no one could communicate with me. The lady on the phone told me that Sony has made a decision about my TV. She explained to me that in the course of the last 2 years and 4 TV repair visits that Sony has but 1100.00 dollars into repairs of my TV (which they STILL can't fix) and that they are going to send me a check of 780 dollars (the around was around there) for a buy out of my TV and walk away from the issue. They are going to leave me with a check of 780 dollars (about) and a TV that turns on and off by it self even though I paid 2100.00 for this TV and had a 5 year warranty. I asked the person on the phone how does it pay to my a consumer of Sony products when they won't even fix their default products. She said at this time there was nothing more that could be done and I would be hearing from them within the next week. I also have the last 4 emails from the TV repair place to attach too. So please let me know when I can email you these forms.Desired Settlement: What I would like Sony to do is send me a check for the FULL amount I paid for the TV. I don't believe it is fair to leave me with a broken TV that they can't fix and a check for $700 which wouldn't even replace the TV if I wanted too. And I want get a working TV because that is what I paid for or at least be compensated correctly for I can replace the TV on my own and go to another brand.

Review: I purchased 60 inch sony tv in july 2006. After the extended warrenty ended in 2011 [which I had purchased] we noticed problems with the tv. The screen was green .We tried trouble shooting ourselves which did not work.A local tv repair person changed the bulb which did not make a difference. We stopped using this tv and used others We had purchased the tv from 'circuit city' which went out of bussiness approximately 3 year after our purchase ,at that time they told us that for our extended warranty we would have to go to sony..The tv was registered with them .We have had the same address , telephone numbers and email address.This morning we had a tv cosultant from Best Buy store come to look and advise us if our exsisting sound system with work with a new tv we were interested in purchasing from their store.This person immediately informed us that the model of our sony tv was in a class action suit because the tvs were defective and since the repair cost was high sony provided the cutomers with replacement tv. He advised us to call sony customer service at [redacted] .I talked to three different levels of people, the highest being their National customer relation agent [they are located in [redacted] would not give me the refrence number for complaint]All of them said that sony had posted about the problem on sony website and notified the authorized repair shops .They did not notify the registered buyers because not everyone had a problem They said the program where they provided replacment tv ended in april 2013 . They said it was my responsibility to contact them .What they don't understand is that Iwas not made aware that they are taking care of the problem and that there was a class action suit .They offered me 15% discount if I purchase a sony tv on line from them. I refused that ,told them I cannot buy tv without looking at it and installation would be a issue.Desired Settlement: They need to offer me the same service/replacement/repair that they offered others. Ifeel the whole purpose of registering is that if the company becomes aware of any issues or there is extension of warrenty[ which they said there was to end in april2013] they would be able to notify. They failed to notify

As I mentioned in my complaint my Tv was registered with Sony ,they failed to notify me of the extension of warrenty. They did not offer me replacement tv I am not interested in selecting a TV on line from Sony website unless it is a free replacement. When Circuit City went out of buisness Sony assumed responsibility for people who had purchased the 5 year extended warranty . We paid several hundered dollars for the warranty.Sony failed to do their part in notfying the registered cutomers. I hope they will resolve the issue to my satisfaction .

Review: On 11/**/13, I bought a Sony Vaio SVT11213CXB from Best Buy in [redacted]. Within 2 months, the remote keyboard stopped working. I called Sony support and was sent a new keyboard on 02/**/14. The second keyboard also did not work. Sony authorized sending the computer to their repair facility on 02/**/14. Following the repair, the keyboard worked. In March, the computer stopped connecting to the internet. I contacted Sony support, and after a lengthy troubleshooting session, I was sent a Recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system (Windows 8) on 04/**/2014. I was not able to run the recovery disk because my external DVD drive would not connect to the computer. I was authorized for a second repair on 05/**/14. The computer was returned from the repair facility on 05/**/14. I noted several damages that had been sustained during the repair session -- a chipped screen, several scratches to the housing, bent housing. I contacted Sony support and was asked to forward photos of the damage to Sony via email. (I was also advised by the support representative to send the email several times to be sure that it was received.) Within two hours of delivery of the computer, I had taken the photos and sent them (several times) to the email address provided. I originally bought the computer to use for work projects while at home. In the six months since buying the computer between repairs and it not working, I have been able to successfully use it for perhaps two of those months. The work that I was able to do on the computer and not ablet to save was lost when the hard drive was reimaged during the second repair. I could not transfer that work via cloud or any external drives because the computer could not connect to either.Desired Settlement: I would like a refund for the original purchase price of the computer ($795.99). Because of the operational issues I have experienced in the last six months, I have no reason to believe that once the warranty period is over, the computer will work any better than it has. The fact that, although the computer is new, any damages to the unit were sustained while it was being repaired. The customer service I've received has not resulted in any solutions to the issues I've encountered. In some instances, I have been on the phone for up to 2 hours without resolution. I have not received a reply to the latest email; however, based on the ongoing problems and damages incurred, I can't see any reason to continue with this computer nor would I want a replacement of the same model.

Review: I purchased a Xav601bt from [redacted], Recently my android samsung cell phone updated operating system rendering the connection with stereo impossible. Checking with sony they laid responsibility of the connection issue on Samsung. So dead end there as why would samsung be concerned if their product makes sony customers happy????? So I researched the compatible xanv100t tom tom navigation module so I could at least have navigation through the stereo which was a advertised accessory available, only to find out the module was discontinued 6 months after release with no backwards compatibilty with the replacement xavn300t navigation module. In short im stuck with a stereo that wont connect to my phone as advertised, or even have navigation, even with buying a add on if it was available, which it isnt. I now have a overpriced am/fm cd player that is supposed to be a high tech mirrorlink, navigation do it all unit with every feature know to man. It wont even connect to iphone anymore if I had one, as its updated beyond compatibilty with this stereo with no response from sony. I understand technology ages but this unit doesnt even offer the advertised tom tom navigation add on module as sony discontinued it about 6 months after releasing the stereo line. If this is standard business practice for Sony, this will be the last of their products I purchase and will advise anyone I know and as many forums and review sites as I can locate to steer clear as well.Desired Settlement: I would like exchange for a comparable unit that actually does what is advertised it is capable of. Or a refund of the purchase so I can find a different stereo that meets my needs.

Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc. regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] regarding the XAV601BT car stereo. Sony has contacted the customer and was told to fax a copy of the sales receipt so we can check possible buyback on the customers unit due to incompatibility between Car stereo and his Samsung cellphone. The customer agreed to do so.

Review: The camera, DSCWX80 that I purchased in August 2013 stopped working on 7/**/2014 while I was taking a video. The lens stayed popped out even when the power was off.

I called Sony customer service and sent the unit to the repair center in [redacted] as it was still under 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

On 8/**/2014, I received an email from [redacted] from The Sony Repair Services Response Team saying that the warranty will not cover the repair because the camera was physically damaged.

Since the camera has been carefully used and it has never been dropped nor physically abused/misused, I sent an email back to Sony asking for more details on their assessment and also asked why they believe the camera has suffered physical damage.

After my inquiry, I received an email from Sony on 9/*/2014 stating that the camera had been fixed. See the statement below:

"Event ID: [redacted] Work order/Service Notification Number: [redacted] Dear Sony Customer:

Sony is contacting you regarding the following unit received by our Service Center for repair:

Model: DSCWX80/W

The repair of your unit has been completed by our technician and it is being shipped back to you. The Fedex Tracking Number is N/A. Please go to the Fedex site to check on its delivery status at [redacted]. "

On 9/*/2014, I received the camera back and found that the camera in fact wasn't fixed. The lens was still popped out as same as it was originally sent to Sony.

Model: DSCWX80/W Serial: [redacted] Repair Event ID: [redacted] Work Order Number: [redacted]Desired Settlement: I'd like to know why the camera wasn't fixed where they said it was. If it was because of the physical damage as they claimed initially, I'd like to have more information on the damage and how it was related to the actual problem because the camera had only a few minor scratches and was in a good condition.

Dear Dispute Resolution Services:

Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc. regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] regarding Sony Cyber-shot Digital Still Camera . We contacted the customer already and explained that there were physical damage found on the unit. Physical damage outside that have affected the internal parts. The fact that the lens of the camera was not moving and pop out logically explain that something was wrong inside the unit. Sony will stand by technicians findings.

[Your Answer Here]

Sony needs provide sufficient evidence that the camera suffered from a physical damage. Sony can't reject the warranty repair by simply saying there was a physical damage. If there was any physical damage, I want them to explain in detail how it's related to the problem. Scratches and missing cap didn't cause the problem as it's been working fine for a year.

I am very disappointed in the way Sony handled their warranty repair and will not advise anyone to buy from Sony

My initial request to Sony was provide sufficient evidence that the camera suffered from a physical damage. As I mentioned in my previous message, the camera was handled with care has only minor scratches and a missing cap (which has no electrical wire, it's just a cover for the USB port). Sony can't reject the warranty repair by simply saying there was a physical damage. If there was any physical damage, I want them to explain in detail how it's related to the problem.

Review: I purchased a Sony stereo receiver model STRDN840 on Jan ** directly from the Sony Store. Order number is [redacted]. Around 6/*/14 is quit working. I then went on the website and selected a local Sony authorized repair facility and drove 1.5 hours to take the unit for warrenty repair. The repair facility then called a week later and said the unit was ready to pick up. I assumed it was repaired. I drove another 1.5 hours and the unit was not fixed, they said Sony told them not to fix and I had to send to the sony facility in Texas. So I spent 3 hours driving and still did not have my unit fixed. So I shipped the unit to Texas on 6/**. The unit sat at texas for 6 weeks waiting on a backordered part. I have had many conversations and made multiple requests to either ship me a new unit or refund my money. Finally Sony agreed to refund my money as the repair was taking forever. That is what we agreed to. I spoke with [redacted] in customer relations a ###-###-#### That phone number no longer works and I have not way to talk to customer relations anymore which is also very frustrating. I called another number on 9/*/14 and requested a call back from customer relations but never got a call. Sony has the worst customer service I have every dealt with. Eventually Sony did ship a refurbished unit to me that I do not want. I want my refund. I will ship back the unit they shipped meDesired Settlement: I simply want my refund that was agreed to. Amount is 508.24 Then Sony can pay to have the replacement unit sent back

Review: I purchased my Sony Vaio laptop computer new. Less than a year after I had it the screen would start to "freeze" if I rested my hands on the computer to type. I had to be very careful with it to keep it going or else it would do this. I was completing a degree and needed the computer daily for class work and for my business, so I couldn't send it in for repair. Once I was complete with my classes I paid Sony $200 for the repair of the computer. The Sony event ID number is [redacted]. Sony said that the hard drive needed to be reimaged. I questioned them, as I told them that the computer had a problem only when I rested my hands on the keyboard or picked the computer up, but they said there was nothing wrong with it. Sony shipped it back on 6-**-13. By February of 2014 the computer was doing the same thing again. I talked with Sony again and they agreed after a long discussion they agreed to take the computer back and check it out at no charge. They took the entire 10 day period this time and I had to call them to find out what they had found with it. They told me that the hand rest were defective and needed to be replaced. It was going to cost $200 once again to repair it. I insisted with Sony again that I paid to repair this once and they didn't do it right, their reply was that it was out of the 90 day warranty. Sony did agree to only charge me half the price, I paid $102.82 for that repair. I got the computer back again, it has worked until September 2014. I called Sony again and also sent an email insisting that again they did not repair the unit properly. Their email states that my computer is too far out of warranty and there is nothing they can do for me. I feel that Sony isn't listening and isn't concerned about what they have done or failed to do. They simply do not care. I paid about $550 for this computer and I have paid Sony a little over $300 for repairs, the same repairs twice and now in need of a third repair, which they told me would run about $200 again.Desired Settlement: The computer in question has performed poorly from almost the start. I have no confidence that they can repair it and have it last for much longer than their warranty period. With their attitude the way it is and refusing to listen I think they should replace the unit.

Dear Dispute Resolution Services,

Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc., regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] about the Sony VPCEB32FM/WI.

The time period for the limited warranty that accompanied the product at original purchase has expired 3 years ago, thus Sony will not be able to honor the customer’s request. We provided him a one time accommodation for the repair made last March **, 2014 with the amount of $205.99, we cover the 50% repair cost ( $102.99 ). Warranty for repair is 90 days, according to his files, there were no instances that he called in during the warranty period stating that he is having this problem stated in his complaint. The very first contact he made was dated 6/**/2013 4:32:20 PM.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me at ###-###-####.

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

[Your Answer Here]I agree that I didn't send the computer in before the warranty period was over. I did send it in and pay about $200 to have it repaired the first time. It lasted a few months and then the same problem occurred. I sent it the second time and you did repair it for half price. It lasted again until it was out of warranty and now it is for the THIRD time doing the same thing again. I don't think it is fair of you to say it is out of warranty and it is still doing the same thing. It seems like it was not repaired properly the first time, and now I get to pay yet again for Sony to try and repair it yet again (a third time). I have paid Sony twice for the same repair and yet again the same thing and you want me to pay yet again. If your track record holds, I will get it back and it will work yet again until it is out of your warranty and it will do the same thing again. This isn't fair of you to want to be paid a third time when you've not really repaired the computer once.

Attached is a picture of the screen and what the computer does. It has done this both times the computer was sent in to Sony.

I am not trying to get something for nothing here. I bought this computer like I purchased my wife and two daughters Vaios. The performance of this computer has not been good and though you've tried to repair it twice you haven't been successful much beyond your warranty period. It should last longer than that. I don't abuse it, in fact the computer hardly ever leaves it's one place. I ask you again to please reconsider your position in this matter.

Review: Dears at Revdex.com,

I would like to file a claim regarding to my very bad experience with Sony.com. I purchased my Sony Xperia ZL last year and after using it for a couple of months I sent it to the company due to some defect on the internal microphone. It took more than month until they decided to replace it with a brand new phone. I received it on March 2014 and I didn't open it until June because I already purchased a new phone. When I used the new phone that they sent, I realized that there is an issue with the network signals. I called them and they asked me to do all updates which did not work fixing the issue, so they asked me to send it again. I send it to their service center on 6/**/14 and here is the confirmation number and the email I received from them:

Knowing that the address given to them to return my phone (as indicated in their confirmation email above) was:

[redacted] US

Phone: [redacted]

I also called on 8/**/14 regarding my phone and they said it needs a week to get your phone. I waited a week and did not receive anything from them. Called again and they said the same thing. Today is 10/**/14 and I just called them and they said his supervisor sent several messages to another department I guess to figure out where is my phone. I asked to talk with the supervisor and he put me on hold for a long time until the call was disconnected.

It's not accepted at all to treat customers like that. I spent around $640 but I got nothing. In every service I have to wait months to get my phone. Right know I don't want the phone anymore, I need to get my money back since the company does not care at all about its customers.

Response:

We are very sorry for the delays in returning the customer's phone back to him. During the repair, there were 4 address changes to his account that were called in or emailed to our contact center by the customer. This resulted in the phone being shipped to an incorrect address and then returned back to our CC. The address noted in the Revdex.com complaint is a 5th version that Sony has not seen before. We ask that the customer respond to this Revdex.com complaint by calling our contact center at [redacted] and provide us with his updated address so we can return his phone to him. We also ask he reference [redacted] when he calls.

Consumer

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

Sony kept my phone for 5 months without reasonable reasons. No one has contacted me in regard to my phone and they sent the phone to wrong address and after that the phone still in repair center despite my several calls. I called them since last August to get my phone but they said will do escalation for the order. I updated my current address and they said here I didn't which is not correct (I ask to reveal the call records). Since they didn't provide accurate information here in front of you, I don't trust this company anymore and I want a full refund. Thank you

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because: I challenge Sony Company to provide me with the four addresses that I provided in regard to repairing my phone. I'm surprised how they completely ignored the complaint and even provided incorrect information here without any respect to their customers. First, the address given to them when I sent the phone was only ONE "As shown in the confirmation email from SONY: "A fully functioning phone/accessory should be returned to you within 14 business days after it is received at our facility. Please understand that the time frame above is only an estimate.The phone will be returned to:[redacted]Phone: [redacted]" But instead (this is an email by their customer service after I emailed them asking about my phone, they sent it to This address: Therefore, the shipping company had to take the appropriate actions on the case, and send the phone back to our repair facility.This is the physical address we have from you on our file:[redacted]So it's Sony's fault to send the phone to a WRONG address. I have the emails from Sony confirming that they will send the phone to [redacted]Phone: [redacted]" but they sent to [redacted] However, after that I haven't seen the phone ever since the last email in August. after that, I called several times and they said the same thing "will escalate the order". Second and by the way: I called on 10-**-14 and I provided my new address to the representative "[redacted] and she said the same thing I will escalate the order, so I request Revdex.com to ask Sony to reveal all my call records in order to see WHO is causing this issue since they claimed that I didn't update my address. They sent the phone to a wrong address in last June, then what!!! I emailed them and called them waiting to get my phone back "three months" but they haven't sent it yet!!!! During the three months I called several times asking for my phone and they said escalation escalation. This is what I got. So please don't justify your company's failure and put it on my shoulder. I ask Revdex.com to ask Sony to reveal my call records to see who is responsible for such delay. I attached all emails between me and this company in the original email and I'll attach it again. Revdex.com my phone has been in their company for 5 months and they refuse to get it back or Don't know how to send it back. Check my call records and emails and you'll understand that Sony failed to meet its promises. Another thing, I haven't received any call from them EVER so it's not acceptable to just say sorry for the delay and please call this number. It's Sony's fault because it doesn't even know how to manage to return a phone or even contact its customer. I'll not accept the delay and I need my money back since the company has the phone for 5 months (the phone model became old) and not worth the same price. So I need my money back. I found the original purchase receipt from Sony.com and still have it. I didn't expect such answer by putting the blame on the address change. This is not a professional and acceptable answer from a company operates in the U.S. You have to respect your customers and admit and correct your faults instead of blaming your customers. I ask Revdex.com please to intervene in this issue and investigate all my call records because I'll not accept getting only the phone after 5 months. I need my money back and I'll not tolerate with a company treats me like that. In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above. Sincerely, [redacted]

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

As I said before, I provided only one address in regard to repairing this phone but Sony sent it to another one. So it's there mistake not mine. Another thing what Sony does with a phone for 6 months? I provided my address since 8-**-14 and until I moved on 10-*-1 to my new address. I called several times and they said escalation!!! and by the way I provided my current address to Sony on 10-**-14 and they said the same thing escalation. So please do NOT pretend you respect the law when you said "privacy privacy" or respect anything because you don't respect your customers at all. I ask Revdex.com to intervene in this case I have all evidence that its Sony's fault and I ask Revdex.com to make Sony reveal all my call records to prove that. The company answer is not acceptable at all!! 6 months to get the phone back why?

[Your Answer Here]

It's Sony's fault and I will not accept their ways of treating me like that. I ask Revdex.com to investigate in this case to protect my rights that were stolen from this company. I will not accept their rude answer and I challenge again to prove the Four addresses that I provided in regard to repairing this phone. It's only one address given in this case and when they sent wrong and went back to their service center I asked them to send it to my original address, that is it. But the company couldn't find my phone and they keep saying escalation escalation. Anyway their response is not acceptable at all.
