Elitist Indie Hipster Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 So, i sent my Ipod to apple to get fixed through a certain electronics store (*cough* title name) 8 weeks ago. They explained to me that it would take 4 weeks to get fixed. I was fine with that. 5 weeks went by without a phone call. I decided i would phone in and ask what was going on. I was on the phone for an hour trying to talk to the right person to find out what was going on. It turns out that they had lost my Ipod in the mail. But heres the thing, they didnt phone me, and if i didnt phone them, then i would not have found out. After i find this out , I bitched and the manager said, " OK, OK, come in and we will give you a new one, its the last one in stock". So i go down the the store, deal with the paperwork, and get my new Ipod. I drive 25 minutes to my girlfriends house, open the package, and look at the Ipod. ITS USED!! This thing was so scratched that i couldnt even see what was going on on the screen. I rush back down to the store and show the big manager the Ipod. He looks at me as if i am an idiot and says, " Are you sure it was like this when you opened it?". This offended me, and I said, " Ya, its not like i drove home to scratch up and brand new Ipod just to get another brand new Ipod." After all this he says he will order me another one and it will be in in 5 days to a week. That was 3 weeks ago!!! I phone yesterday and talked to him, and he says that he is pretty sure he ordered it. Then he says he would phone me yesterday night and let me know what was going on . He didnt. I phone him today and he is nowhere to be seen. My Ipod is pretty much my lifes blood, i mean, i spent 600 dollars on it, and i want to use it. I AM SO PISSED OFF!!! FUCK YOU VISIONS ELECTRONICS!!!! FUCK YOU RIGHT IN THE ASS!!!! Link to comment

Ceraziefish Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 This thread rules. When my iPod broke, I took it to the Apple Store. Normally I do not condone the use of Apple Stores but when it comes to iPods they're pretty kicking rad about it. They didn't actually even fix it, just replaced it for less than it would've cost me to get it fixed somewhere else. Link to comment
Siendra Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Wait.... Wait.... Which Visions is this? I advise you go back there and ask the manager to produce his dealer agreement. Then ask him to read the part where he's not allowed, BY ANY GOD DAMN FUCKING MEANS, to service or vendor return customer product. AT ALL. No, I'm serious. I AM a certified Apple Care Tech. NO RETAILER IN CANADA IS ALLOWED TO SERVICE OR VENDOR RETURN OUR PRODUCTS WITHOUT AN RMA RECALL NOTICE. NONE AT ALL. Link to comment
imoutahere Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i must be one of the few chuds i know whose ipod has never had one problem in like 2 years Link to comment
Siendra Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Siendra, it's the only Visions store in Prince George, British Columbia. Thaaar you go. Awesome. I think I'll be getting Reseller Relation on the phone with them tomorrow. Link to comment
Elitist Indie Hipster Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude Thats awesome. Although they may phone me up and give me shit, but i dont care. Let me know how it ended up . EDIT: I went there today and raised a bunch of stink, and the manager caved in and gave me a 80 gb. Which is nice, but i still went through all that bullshit that took like 8 weeks, and i dont think anyone should have to go through that, especially when it was only the back light that wasnt turning on everyonce in a while.

RR threatened Visions with legal action for servicing Apple Product. So yeah, I'm going to guess they did cave. Not saying it helped you or not, but at least that crap won't happen again.

Elitist Indie Hipster Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Thats awesome man, its pretty safe to say that i can never set foot back in there again. Haha oh well that makes my day. Link to comment
winterlong Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yeah, I haven't had a problem with mine yet either, though I have only had it for like, 6 months. I don't think that I have ever been in Visions, and now I just don't want to go. Link to comment

Federal Network Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 i've passed visions quite a few times when i lived up there. never really struck me as a high quality or a low quality store. just seemed normal. i'll make sure to stay away next time i'm up north though Link to comment
Elitist Indie Hipster Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 soooooo, my Ipod just stop working suddenly and for no reason. I cant charge it or turn it on. This sucks. Link to comment
winterlong Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I have mini panic attacks when I think about my iPod suddenly dying on me. Just today, even. But I would gladly spend another $300 to replace it if I had to. I only say that because I am quite well off right now. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Much as I hate the Apple store, they were pretty rad about just replacing my broken iPod. Cost me a bit of money, but only like $30 (American). I mean, it was actually a new one. Pretty sweet deal. Link to comment
