    Not a happy chap (for different reasons)

    5 to 6 times I have been told by Scan I would be phoned back within a certain time, whether it be 20 minutes, today or tomorrow. Only once have I ever been phoned back, why?
    I have a bill of £9+ from phoning Scan alone, I don't like being lied to. For example I was told my RMA would be returned to me on Friday it wasn't, I then had to phone up on Saturday to ask why and when it would be returned, I spent 5 minutes phoning and waiting but got cut off. I phoned again later and it took 10 minutes to get through to have a 20 second conversation. It's 7p a minute? So it cost me £1.05 ish just to find out what's happening because I'm lied to.
    Obviously because these phone calls don't happen too I have to phone up to find out what's going on.

    Also I have a bit of a problem with Scan atm why do they not take care of peoples items?
    Why do I have a huge motherboard sticker stuck to my PSU box? Why has Scan seemingly lost my plastic protective CPU case? Where has one of my SATA cables gone? Why was my hard drive not sent back in its anti static bag? Why do I now have 3 yes 3! motherboard socket protectors? If some people are now missing one after a recent RMA you know who has been given them.

    And for straight bizzareness Scan wins the award, the graphics card which is faulty, which isn't faulty, which is faulty, which isn't faulty, which is faulty is now seemingly NOT faulty? Why say it's broken to swap with a new card, to then say the new card is now faulty and give me back my old card which you said is faulty? and why is it now in a tiny box?

    On another note I am still testing right now, so far so good hope it stays that way.

    GRAYG1,

    I'm at a loss to the poor service you have received, this is far below any standard we strive to acheive and at points seems absolutely bizzare.

    I just want to let you know that I have taken all of your points on board and will be speaking to the staff here and the relevent department manager involved with the staff concerns raised in some of your other points.

    I can assure you this wont simply be brushed under the carpet, I will personally deal with each of the points you have raised and ensure standards are improved wherever necessary.

    And they are very aware of the positive impact this attitude has on people reading such responses. It's highly commendable!

    If it were any other company they probably wouldn't even bother replying! Scan are awesome at sorting out the odd problem that arises now and again. At least with Scan you know that the problem will get sorted out asap.

    Still so far so good as far as the freezing goes, not going to stick my neck out and say it is definatley fixed yet though. Wait a week first that should be plenty of time for it to show itself if it's still there. Although I did have one incident when my computer locked up after exiting Oblivion I think this may be a game related issue, atleast I'm hoping it is.

    If they have sent you a QLQ and you ignore it becuase you have the same issue, then how are Scan to help you?

    There has been some negative posting towards Scan from yourself and now you say that they 'should know' what your problem is.

    If you are going to keep it to PM's then I suggest you keep your complaints there too. Its not fair to bash a company because they aren't doing 'exactly' what you want them to even if it goes against one of thier existing processes.

    I would appreciate it if you can resolve your issue with them directly as they have requested and drop the critisism of them - its not exactly fair to them when they have been trying.

    Matt.
    Please do not message me about Scan Free shipping, I no longer work for HEXUS.net

    well tbh i have explained the issue 3 times and had 2 replacements and then to be asked what the issue is when i told them its the same one tbh i expect them to know tbh

    Just because you have had previous faulty items does not automatically mean that the problem is the same, all we have asked you for is clarification, were not going to issue you with a refund / credit and no amount of posts will change that. We will look at the board and if it is verified faulty we will discuss a couple of options with you, but be assured non of then will involve a refund / credit.
