Review: I bought a camera at Sony Store online and it has a defective and when I asked to exchange they will not let me get an exchange as they want to repair my new items that I bought. I said I just bought it on February *, 2014 and Sony have a promo that the price of the camera at that time is $269.99 and the promo was one camera bag and an 8 GB SD card which are free because of [redacted]. I only want to buy the camera and Sony just added the freebie which is the SD card and the Bag.
I just told them I want a refund as I do not want it repair. When they sent me the Camera, all the freebie are all together in one box. When I asked the person on the chat room customer service he told me it is a freebie so I can keep it. But those Customer Service people answering my e-mail insist on me to return also the freebie or they will charge me for the bag and SD card.. Sony insist on sending it back or else they will not return the price of the camera which I pay for 295.62 which Sony withdraw the next day on my account even thou I do not have the camera yet, they already withdraw the payment. Sony threatened me that they will only refund me $239 plus tax,if I will not return the item, the bag and SD card, I won't get a full refund.Desired Settlement: Because they threatened me not to get a full refund I return all the items, the camera the bag and the SD card.
My desired settlement is that they return the $295.62 on my account and refunded me the shipping and handling insurance for that return of the camera bag and SD card.
Then Sony has to send me back the bag and SD card as a freebie, for all the hassle and threat to me by the Customer Service online e-mail.

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 made all the attempt to resolve the problem many times with the Customer Service Sony Store thru e-mail and phone but they push me in complaining about the bad services and product promo that they did not bother to acknowledge.Nowt it is my turn that they return the camera bag and the SD card which is a freebie. At least I did not ask them to return the Camera only the Freebie. Again they did not resolve the issue, the return of the freebie when I bought the camera. They want me to return it then I want it back. and the full refund of $295.62 that they withdraw on my account. I do not want to be threatened, I am a good customer of Sony.

Review: 2009 purchased Sony Bravia KDL 52s4100 LCD television at [redacted]. Within 2nd to 3rd year, TV was slow to display upon powering on and started behavior of screen darkness with bands moving across screen until the TV was "warmed up", then would display perfectly. To solve this problem, we left the TV on and had no problems unless the power went out occasionally. As time went on, the delay between power on and display working correctly hugely increased so that we did NOT want the TV ever to turn off but it rarely did. Just recently, it has begun having the same display problems continuously even without power off/on. It is making the TV essentially unusable. Research online finds many others with same series of TVs encountering EXACT set of symptoms. Many have found a way to "fix" this by disassembling the TV and taping up the "tabs" around the edges of the TV (internally) which were not correctly bonded at the factory or else there would not be this epidemic of them failing. People who taped them correctly had the problem solved at least as long as the tape did not fail.Desired Settlement: Either repair (including pick up and delivery) or replace with at least same size/ quality of TV.

Dear Dispute Resolution Services:Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc. regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] about the Sony Television (KDL52S4100). Sony attempted to contact this customer over the phone but our attempt was unsuccessful as it was forwarded to his voicemail. We left a message, advising him to call us back. We would like to advise the customer that there is no known issue about the TV model he has. Since the unit is way beyond the manufacturer's warranty, Sony is unable to assist the customer with the repair/exchange. On the other hand, we tried to check for the nearest authorized service centers (ASC) of Sony but based on the customer's zip code, there are no ASC's in his area. If the customer wants to proceed with the repair and if the parts are still available, he may contact an independent service company near his area to proceed with the out of warranty service.Thanks, [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: The fact is that the issue IS known for this TV. I have found documentation of MANY cases of the exact same TV having the exact same issue, with many of those owners upset that Sony did not acknowledge the problem with this size of TV and acknowledged it only with the smaller ones (40/42"). It is all very well documented, so it is only a matter of Sony acknowledging the problem or denying it. Anyone can locate the documentation by typing "sony bravia kdl52w4100 problems" into [redacted] search box and the search results will be as follows which were copied and pasted. Point being, that the problem is COMMON and well documented, with numerous other owners of the 52" TV VERY disappointed in Sony for not taking responsibility for this defect. You say the TV is past warranty, I say that Sony should have recalled these 52" TVs of this model because they were DEFECTIVE, and mine stopped working right DURING the warranty period, but the problem was not yet documented and it is a problem that gets worse over time. For my complaint, I am asking Sony to take care of the problem that my TV is defective and either repair it or replace it or provide a refund.

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:
The response avoids addressing the nature of the complaint. The complaint is that the TV is flawed in manufacturing and that this is easily proven in numerous examples of other customers with THIS exact model having the same exact malfunctions on the TV as what I have with mine. Sony acknowledged the problem with the same model but smaller size, but did not acknowledge the problem on the larger size TVs as proven by the numerous customer complaints that their larger TV like mine did in fact have the exact same problem yet Sony refused to acknowledge it just as they are doing now with mine. So they did a recall on the less expensive (smaller) sets while knowingly ignoring the problem existing with the larger ones. Anyone can do a simple [redacted] search to confirm this. The list of TVs affected by this problem is what I had attached in the previous statement. All of the models affected, not just the model Sony is willing to acknowledge. That is why there was the smaller model listed in those complaints in addition to complaints from customers of the larger TV like mine. The Sony representative is well aware of this and is trying to conceal the continued refusal to resolve the manufacturing problem. I made the model number of my TV perfectly clear. My complaint is clear and Sony wants to conceal their greed on this matter.

Response:
Dear Dispute Resolution Services:It was already explained to the customer that there is no known issue for this specific model ([redacted]). Therefore, since his Sony TV is already way out of the warranty, we are unable to extend any accommodation in this matter. Sony's decision will be the same. Thanks, [redacted]
Review: I have a Sony TV model KDL-52VL150 that gets lines on the screen when I turn it on. After searching the internet, it is clear this is a known defect in the TV design. When I called Sony tech support, I reached El Salvador and they said I was out of warranty. They gave me a phone of a repair service in the U.S. and when I called them I was informed they don't service our area.
Sony should take responsibility for their design defects and fix my TV.Desired Settlement: Fix my TV.

Dear Dispute Resolution Services,Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc., regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] about his Sony KDL52VL150. We have contacted the customer and offered him a 15 percent reimbursement on a new Sony TV purchase. Customer declined the offer. The time period for the limited warranty that accompanied the product at original purchase has expired and Sony will not be able to honor the customer's request. Sincerely,Jim C[redacted]

Review: Purchased computer for $1819.96 December 2013 warranty expires December 2014. In April screen was clouding up. Sent it back for repair. Received it in June with what looked like metal chips under screen. Called and told them. Screen started to cloud up again touch screen stopped working and screen started to crack underneath where the chips were. In August I was told I would receive a box to send in computer. No box came. Called again and this time got laptop box which doesn't fit computer. In September I was told I couldn't talk to customer relations but they would call me next am the [redacted]. No call came. On Oct * I was told someone would call within 72 hours. No call. Today Oct [redacted] I was told I have to wait for them to call me still. But they said call is coming. Last week I was told to take it to [redacted]. They told me those weren't metal chips under the screen but little nicks that you can't feel on top because they are from underneath. Because of these and the cracks that are forming from the nicks [redacted] can't repair it. I have used this computer about three months total and half of that time was with clouding in the screen. Called Sony seven times with no help.Desired Settlement: This computer was defective from the start and Sony is trying to run my warranty out without helping me at all. The fact that you have no way to reach anybody to help you and must wait weeks for anyone to call you (if anyone ever does) is unacceptable from a company this large. The different people that answer the phone only take your information but are of no help. I just want a new VAIO All-in-one computer for my $1819.96

Review: I bought a PS4/Sony product "Gold Wireless Stereo Headset - Glacier White",from [redacted] that was delivered on September *, 2014. The product itself developed hair-line cracks on the band (the part that goes across the top of your head) and the band broke when these spread across the length of the band making the product unusable. This happened from normal use and it broke while on my head. This happened in April 2015 and I contacted Sony/PS4 support and was told to ship it to their service center because it was still under the manufactures one (1) year warranty from. Shipping cost were not covered and I had to pay shipping out of my pocket. After calling them (nearly a month later-May **, 2015) they said they could not cover it because of neglect then continued to tell me that it was no fault of my own and "neglect" just meant it was broken beyond repair. The warranty stated that it it would either be repaired or replaced. If repair is not an option I would expect a replacement.
This issue with the headset cracking seems to be a common problem and a manufacturer's defect in either workmanship or materials. [redacted]
My issue is with Sony/PS4 not repairing or replacing the headset, though this seems this is a common issue with the Gold Wireless Stereo Headset.Desired Settlement: I believe they should stand behind their products and their warranties and replace them.

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:
On May **, 2015 10:21AM Sony contacted me by phone. They asked me to hold while they put in in contact with their PlayStation department. At that time their PlayStation service contact center was not available due to high call volume (I assume). They asked me to contact them through their online chat, which wasn't working at the moment (again, I assume due to high volume). I asked if I should call them later and they said I should. They said they would forward information about my case through an e-mail.Later that day, (around 1:30PM) I called back. I spoke to a representative named [redacted] and later his supervisor [redacted]. I explained my situation that my headset warranty claim was denied out of "neglect". I also asked if his department had received the e-mail about my case, the one the representative I talked to earlier informed me they would send. [redacted] said they had not. I asked if there was any way to escalate the matter so someone else could take a look at my headset (as of now, it has not been returned to me). He told me he could not. The Service Center has flagged it as “neglect” and there was nothing the call center could do. He continued, "They are the Judge, Jury and Executioner." I thanked him for his service, but expressed that I was not satisfied.Overall, the customer service seemed friendly, though powerless to help through rules or limits placed upon them.I would like to reiterate, that the headset band broke while on my head. It broke after normal use. I have found user complaints online with the same issues. I would like to offer this information to Sony.Here are a few links that describe the issue with the Wireless Gold Headsets;[redacted]Note* In all fairness, the last link ([redacted]) has a review I wrote and my review can be ignored due to basis. The author of my review is listed as [redacted]. Even with my own review excluded, there are plenty of other users with the same issue.I believe this product has a flaw in either workmanship or materials. I feel that Sony should honor its warranty and either repair or replace the product.
Sincerely,
Consumer

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 was contacted by Sony from the phone number [redacted] and they asked me to call PlayStation Customer support at ###-###-####. I informed them that I had already called this number multiple times and they weren't able to help me. They said they had escalated my claim and that they may be able to further assist me.I called twice. I explained my situation to one representative, when he placed me on hold the call cut off forcing me to call back. The second representative said there were no notes on my account to suggest that I had been called earlier by someone at Sony. I explained my situation and she said she wasn't able to help me. She asked me for the phone number that called me and I gave it to her. She acted as if that number didn't belong to Sony and showed confusion why they would call me in the first place.As of now they have shipped my headset back and I received it on 6/*/2015. My headset had considerable more wear on it than it did when I shipped it to them. It was dirty and scuffed up. It was to the point were I felt the need to wash my hands after touching it. I attached a picture of what it looked like when I got it back, the file is named [redacted]I took a picture of the headset before I sent it in to their service center to show how the product had broken during normal use. You can see in that picture that it wasn't as "abused" in that picture despite its broken condition. The file name is [ [redacted] ].I have shown that this appears to be a common issue with these headset with the following links that prove this is a issue with these headsets;[redacted]I believe this is enough to prove that there is an issue with the headset. My claim has been said to be denied out of neglect. I feel that that this headset had received more neglect at their hands than mine. The image I took before I shipped it to their service center show the issue with the headset cracking and breaking across the top band. I know these photos aren't the best as I took them with my phone, but if you zoom in you can see the multiple little cracks along the top band. It had the same stress fractures on both sides. Again, I say this was from normal use and this broke while on my head.The other image shows how the headset was returned to me. Not only did they not honor their warranty and repair or replace the headset, they also sent it back with farther damage and covered in dirt and grease.This troubles me because they shipped this headset back before I thought the issue fully resolved. The state in which they sent it back, well, if someone set it to me in that state I would think it had been neglected and abused as well. I included the photos of before I mailed it to them to show how the headset was damaged through normal use. The other photo shows how it was neglected at their service center. I had to pay shipping out of my own pocket and now if Sony wished to honor their warranty I would have to pay to have it shipped to them again, and it's 'abused' state.This is disheartening to see. I still believe Sony should honor their warranty because this is clearly a defect in the strength of the plastic use based on the links proved.

Dear Dispute Resolution Services,Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc., regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] about his Sony Gold Wireless PlayStation Headset. Sony has contacted the customer and advised him that we won’t be able to honor his request. Sony takes great pride in the workmanship and design of each of our products. A Limited Warranty was provided with the product that warrants against defects in material or workmanship for a designated period. The Service Center determined that the unit has physical damage and unfortunately physical damage is not covered by the Sony Limited warranty. Sony considers this claim completed. Sincerely,[redacted]
Review: I ordered a product which was on sale and paid for it. I got a confirmation email and an order number. Now, a few days later they tell me that they ran out of the camera I ordered and that they can't fulfill my request. ,Desired Settlement: I would like SONY to find me an equal camera to the one I purchased and send that one to me..

Review: I attempted to call ###-###-#### to attempt to get warranty for my product that seems to have lost audio from right side of the headphones, Sony MDRDS6500 Digital Surround Headphones and Digital Surround Processor component for MDRDS6500. Model # DP-RF6500, but the CSR was not coherent and would not help me at all, he would constantly put me on hold this went on for 46minutes, when I requested a [redacted], he kept me on hold for another 30minutes and never came back on the line, I could hear giggles and laugh in the background I called them around 16:51 7/**/2014 and did not hangup until 18:30 due to lack of patience and felt humiliated. I purchased this item through [redacted] on September **,2013 and was expecting the item to work properly for at least 5-6 years, not 8 months.Desired Settlement: I would like my product to be repaired properly

We were able to talk again to the customer today, September **,2014, however we were not able to continue with the conversation because he only speaks Spanish.

Review: Computer purchased does not work reliably and customer service is poor when trying to get a computer that works.
Bought a Sony Vaio laptop with extended warranty and [redacted] office on 11/**/13 from Sony Outlet Store in Aurora IL. As early as two weeks from purchase, I had to contact customer support as computer was not working and had to send in for repairs (work order dated 12/*/13). Arrived back and worked for a couple of weeks and then had to reset to factory settings which means that I lost everything, had to reload office, etc. This also only worked for a couple weeks and so the cycle began. Even the factory resetting did not work in February (only a couple months after the purchase) and had to send the computer back in for service (work order dated 2/**/14). Arrived back from the repairs and out of the box was not working again. Called and they had me factory reset it again. Again this only works for about two weeks and have to do it again. This makes the computer unreliable to the point that I cannot use it for the original purpose of working from home and downloading family pictures etc. as each time that I have to reset it I have to reload [redacted] office, pictures, etc. Every time that I call Sony Support it is at least a 30 - 45 minute phone call. The last time that I called I was on the phone for 45 minutes and then passed the phone to my husband who was put on hold for 45 minutes when he asked to speak with a [redacted] at the end of the 45 minutes the call was "dropped". We purchased the computer with a credit card so after that phone call we contacted the credit card company to see what our options were as we are paying monthly for a product (computer and [redacted] office) and service (extended warranty) that we cannot use. They filed a complaint with Sony. Sony denied that we had a complaint as we had the extended warranty that covered the computer. But if the repairs do not fix the issues and they will not replace what is the point of the warranty? Now my screen is going between two error messages and factory resetting will not work. I contacted Sony's online support hoping for a better result only to be told that I need to call in again. As this has not resolved the issue in the past, what can I do to have a computer that works or a refund so I can purchase a computer that works?Desired Settlement: At this point, I feel that we have a "lemon" for a computer. I would like for the computer to be replaced and not just sent in for repairs again. If this is not possible, I would like a refund to the credit card company so that I can purchase a computer that I can use.

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:
Good morning. Sony's response is correct that they have agreed to a settlement for my defective laptop and they have given me an order number for the refund which should be received in 4 - 6 weeks. As I have no way to track the status of this "order" and due to my past history with Sony's customer service, I would like to keep this complaint open until I have actually received the check.

Review: I ordered a playstation 4 on November [redacted] which was worth 42,000 sony points
42,000 points is worth $42,000
[redacted] claimed that it was delivered on December [redacted].
Sony never sent me a confirmation of shipment.
When I realized the item should have been already delivered I called sony for the tracking number.
When I tracked the shipment, it said it was delivered.
When I asked [redacted] for the proof of shipment, they only supplied information that it was signed.
On the proof of delivery form, there is no actual signature; just a blank space in place of where the person's signature is supposed to be.
On the proof of delivery, it says that Sony sent this item with an in direct signature instead of sending it with signature required to leave package. [redacted] was not able to show me any proof of any signature on the proof of delivery paper.
Sony tells me that [redacted] is responsible and [redacted] tells me that Sony is responsible.
Sony and/or [redacted] doesn't want to refund me.
The Playstation 4 was ordered for Christmas for my children six weeks in advance and i've been trying to solve this issue with Sony for the last two weeks and they are stating that nothing can be done about this.Complaint concerns: a Credit CardDesired Settlement: Reimbursement of the Sony points/Monetary value or the Playstation delivered with proper means of service with required signature

Response:
Dear Dispute Resolution Services, Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc., regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] about the Sony Playstation 4 . Sony has already contacted this customer, and advised her that we are still currently investigating this issue for the customer. She shall receive a follow-up call from Sony in regards to this. Sincerely

Response:
Our customer placed an order 11/**/2014. Sony Rewards shipped the item, due to a system issue the shipped confirmation email was not sent. The customer contacted us letting us know the item was not received. After checking the [redacted] tracking number, it showed the item was signed for and delivered on 12/*/2014. The customer was instructed to file a claim with [redacted]. The customer contacted us back to explain [redacted] would not assist any further. Sony Rewards requested a signed copy of receipt from [redacted]. After reviewing that no signature was on the receipt, Sony Rewards re-shipped the item to the customer at no additional cost. The customer was satisfied with resolution.
Review: Ok first off I really want this complaint directed at Sony, but the options does not allow it. I bought two Sony Xperia Z phones when I started a four person family plan with T-Mobile. I discovered over a month ago that my first Sony Xperia Z handset had triggered water damage on the one of the ports (There was no water damage as the phone was functional and could use that charge port). I worked it out with T-Mobile via [redacted] at the T-Mobile [redacted] office and he took care of it. After my ordeal I told my other line user to not open any other port than the charge port and keep it away from water since their is known defects with this alleged waterproof phone not actually being waterproof. He took the precautions as I instructed, because our jump was up soon and we wanted to get rid of these sony phones as they are poor quality lemon smart phones. I recently discovered over a week ago that his Sony Xperia Z now has a tripped water strip indicator on the headphone port (he uses bluetooth headphones so he never even opens that port). This is immensely aggravating as he took the precautions to avoid the defective phone tripping the water sensor before jump to rid ourselves of these horrible phones. I want Sony dinged for this terrible quality product, but I need T-Mobile to help me get them out of our lives so I can continue my service uninterrupted. I tried Reaching out to [redacted] (it may be [redacted]) multiple times and left multiple voicemails (his VM did not say he was on vacation). I have not heard back from him and I just want this resolved. I am getting rid of my replaced Xperia Z tomorrow and we would to get rid of the other one too. Side note the water strip tripped Xperia Z still works and the headphone jack works, so the phone is functioning. We bought the phones under the guise of it being waterproof and since its not we don't want them and pay for jump for that very reason to get new phones. I like to re-iterate that there are known defects with the Xperia Z.

Please for the love of all get this awful poor quality excuse of a smartphone out of our lives for good and note this complaint as a quality issue with Sony. Poor T-Mobile is the middleman here and I feel bad I have to pressure them into a resolution.

Response:
We are sorry to read that this customer is unhappy with his Xperia Z phones. Sony would like to inform the customer that having an active liquid intrusion indicator near the headphone jack is something that can easily occur with a wet finger. Sony has advised T-Mobile that this should not preclude any warranty work on their phone.
From the information the customer posts, we cannot tell if he is having any operational issues with his devices. Also, we cannot find any record of the customer contacting the Sony Mobile contact center. If the customer is having difficulty with his phone, we invite him to contact our support center at [redacted] between the hours of 8am and 11pm EDT.
Review: I purchased a Sony ILDE7R/B camera and a NEX Lens SEl55F18Z from SONY store at [redacted] at about 6 PM on 3/**/14. These items were display models and sold at 20% discount because the store is closing permanently. I paid $2824.78 for both items.
· While purchasing the items I had asked the SONY sales person --
o If there is any discount on these items offered by SONY for buying camera and lens together. The sales person said that SONY has no discount.
o I wanted to by a camera flash but the salesperson said they don’t have it in store. I can order from SONY website.
o I get 10% EPP discount at SONY store and web purchase. Salesperson declined for EPP discount because of discounted items – no issue here.
o Items were sold as a final sale.
· Very same night at home I thought or ordering the camera Flash online. To my surprise, at the SONY website, there was a bundle price discount of $650 for same camera, a7R, same lens, SEL55F18Z and a flash. A discount of $200 for buying the camera and the lens. On top of it I could get a 10% EPP discount. ?(See URL: [redacted])
· I called SONY store manager on 3/**/14 at 10 AM asking her to take back the merchandise because salesperson had lied to me that SONY has no bundle (or other) discount to the camera OR provide me the $200 bundle discount. Manger refused for both stating it was a final sale.
· I contacted SONY customer service on 3/**14 using 800 number. The representative said that within 24 hours I should get email with instructions and shipping label to send the items back to SONY and SONY will credit the credit card after they receive the merchandise.
· Till 3/**/14 no email was received. I called SONY again, representative said give me one hour, and you’ll receive the email.
· After 5 hours on 3/**, I called back. The representative said they have denied your return request because I had purchased items at a SONY store that was closing. Their system wouldn’t allow for return. If I like I should send email to customer service and she provided the email address.
· I sent the email to the customer service, got back the same response. We cannot take the items back.
I would have never bought the store display products if the SONY salesperson had not lied about the SONY bundle price information. If I use the $650 bundle price and combine the 10% EPP discount, new items comes out to be less than the used (display) merchandise with 20% discount. I understand that the SONY store was “closing” and the sale was final. However, the SONY salesperson made the sale by falsifying about the SONY promotion. As a SONY employee he could have volunteered the information, but in this case he didn’t tell even when I had asked about it.
The transactions numbers for the receipts are [redacted] and [redacted]. Sony reference numbers are [redacted] and [redacted].
This is deceitful and unethical sale practice by SONY. I would like SONY to take back the purchased items that I had bought on 3/**/14. Nobody would pay a higher price for floor display items, if one could get the new items from SONY directly for a lesser amount.Desired Settlement: I would like SONY to take back the camera and lens and refund back the purchase price.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. Since they wouldn't take back the camera, this was a reasonable compromise.
Sincerely,
Review: On July **, 2014 I ordered two items from the Legendary Films online store which is handled through MyPlayDirect which is a part of the Sony Corporation. I ordered these items prior to product release. I was informed on September [redacted] that my items would be shipped between October 7-** and delivered between October 9-[redacted]. I contacted MyPlayDirect during this time and told to wait until the window had expired. On November [redacted], after waiting a week beyond the initial window, I noted that I was still being estimated the same delivery date, which was in the past. I contacted MyPlayDirect and was again informed, through form letters copied and pasted in, that "most likely" their systems just had not updated. Today is November [redacted] and though I have been lied to by multiple agents at MyPlayDirect who have claimed that they have escalated my case and marked it as priority, yet the estimated ship and delivery dates have not changed on my order and I have not received the products that I ordered. I have been informed that I have no recourse through them - they claim to have no phone service and refuse to provide me with the contact information of anyone who is able to assist me. They have informed me that they are not capable of doing anything further than simply letting someone else know that I'd like my products. At no point has the company contacted me proactively, at no point have they followed up. They have been 100% reactionary. They have told me that the "least" they can do is refund the cost of shipping, but from the way things look, I expect that they will continue to lie to me, stringing me along, until they can safely claim to be out of stock of the items that I ordered and then they will be able to cancel my order. I note also that a family member of mine ordered a different product from the same shop which was reported to be "backordered" and received their item within one week. I have yet to receive the explanation that I have demanded from them as to what is going on and why my order is not shipping, especially in light of the FACT that they have claimed that this product ships within 24 hours of ordering (I note also that, following my complaints, they have taken down this claim which is wise since it was clearly a blatant lie).Desired Settlement: At the very least I would like to receive the items that I purchased. I really feel that MyPlayDirect owes me not only an apology but also a full and detailed explanation as to what happened - whose particular incompetence caused this delay and who is responsible for such poor mismanagement. They never ONCE reached out to me and I expect that if I had not contacted them and if I was not actively seeking to resolve this that they would be happy to just let it rot and never resolve it. I am owed an apology and they owe it to their future customers to fix whatever is broken in their operational procedures that allows this kind of thing to happen. They owe their customers better service than what they offer now which is NO service whatsoever.
I would like an apology - handwritten by [redacted] of Sony, or issued as an open letter. I will never get that, though if Sony were anything other than a worthless trash heap that is what would be issued. There is no excuse for this poor conduct. It is the most fundamental concept - money in exchange for goods. I want the goods for which I have authorized payment. They shouldn't just be covering shipping - in a fair world they would ship the items to me at no charge along with the additional shirts that I would have ordered if they were any less incompetent. I will never get what I want, of course, but I think that, really, at the very least, they could ship me the items that I ordered four months ago.
I appreciate the assistance of the Revdex.com in this process.

Response:
Hi,It' simply an issue of product being on back-order. We've posted new estimated delivery dates on the order status page. We won't charge until we ship and until the we ship we'd be happy to cancel the order if the customer would prefer not to wait.We're very sorry for the delay and the wait.Hope this resolves the issue.
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:
As you can see from the attached screenshot, my ORDER HAS NOT YET SHIPPED. And as of now, NO ONE has been able to explain to me why your company is not able to find a shirt vendor that is capable of creating shirts for its customers, shirts that it listed for pre-order over six months ago (and further, shirts that for at least two of those six months were boldly listed as 'shipping within 24 hours' on your site). Additionally, you have not addressed the reason for the back order, you have not addressed whether I am the only one who ordered this product over six months ago and is still without their product.It is clear from other reviews of your MyPlayDirect.com "service" that your standard operating procedure is to ignore your customers until such time as you can claim that the product is no longer in stock and you will then cancel the order. I will not accept this as resolved until or unless you ACTUALLY SHIP ME THE PRODUCT and I ACTUALLY RECEIVE IT. We are now within the current estimated shipping/delivery range. I have NO FAITH and NO CONFIDENCE WHATSOEVER that you will deliver the product during this time and this complaint will NOT be resolved until I receive the product that I ordered. To claim that this is "simply" a matter of backordered product is to COMPLETELY and EXPLICITLY ignore the FACT that you provide the WORST customer service in the world and you are negating the FACT that I have been dealing with your den of thieves, liars, and all-around wastes of oxygen since NOVEMBER trying to be put in touch with a manager, a supervisor, ANYONE who has ANY authority WHATSOEVER and you have FAILED. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Every step of the way: failure. NOT ONCE have you provided me with an honest answer to any question I have asked and the bottom line is that you have NOT shipped the product that you have listed on your site as 'shipping within 24 hours' for months.SHIP ME THE PRODUCTS THAT I ORDERED and this complaint will be resolved. Continue to lie to me and stave off the inevitable canceling of my order and this complaint will remain open. YOU. FAIL.
In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Response:
We're very sorry for the delay. As an apology for the wait we will ship your products for free once we receive stock at our warehouse. The product is on order, and it looks like it will ship by Jan * 2015. Again, please remember that you have not been charged.
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:
I have not yet received the products that I ordered. You are already covering the cost of shipping and the cost of the product - we passed that milestone about two months ago. At this point I require only that you ACTUALLY SHIP the product and that I RECEIVE the product. I will not consider this complaint to be resolved until I have received the products. You may NOT close this and I will NOT accept its closure until such time as I receive the items that I ordered from you in July. I fully anticipate that you will fail to ship the product by January [redacted]. I further am fully confident that you will fail to update the order status page on that day and most likely will not update it for at least a week, in spite of the fact that I will be demanding updates every single day once the [redacted] has passed. You will claim that 'sometimes it takes a day to update' which is what you told me back in NOVEMBER when I spent FOUR WEEKS trying to get an answer from you. I fully expect that, following that, you will delay the shipping date or you will claim that you are unable to stock the product. It's not like this is some kind of custom order treasure or rare jewel. It's SHIRTS. There are probably thousands of vendors worldwide that would be able to get you some shirts within a DAY. Why aren't you working with one of those vendors? What is wrong with you that you insist on working with whatever company is miserably failing you and causing you in turn to miserably fail your customers? OH THAT'S RIGHT, you do not care about your customers AT ALL. This is clearly evidenced by the feedback of hundreds of unhappy customers via TrustPilot. I will add that it is PATHETIC that you have responded to a few complaints on TrustPilot but have not responded to ALL of them. If you respond to one and not all, that is inconsistent and one of your company's primary problems is the disorganization and the INCONSISTENCY of your service. You can't even succeed at failure. MyPlayDirect and all Sony owned products and people would be doing the world a favor if they disappeared forever today. My New Years Wish would be to wake up tomorrow to the news that Sony did not exist anymore. Please have someone, preferably a human being but at the moment I'd accept one of your worthless little robot minions - PLEASE have someone see to it that I RECEIVE the products that I ordered from you half a year ago. Until I receive the products, this complaint is NOT resolved because my COMPLAINT is SPECIFICALLY that you refuse to ship me the products that I ordered and, further, that you have no interest in performing the COMMONLY DECENT thing and COMMUNICATING with me about WHAT IS PROBLEM. This entire complaint is basically that you people DO NOT COMMUNICATE. Look at this - I'm having to work through a professional intermediary JUST to get you to TALK to me. It should have been as easy as I order the product and you ship it to me. Failing to ship the product for the better part of a YEAR is not acceptable behavior. SHIP ME THE PRODUCTS ORDERED AND WE WILL BE DONE HERE.
Sincerely,

Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc., regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted], about the Sony Bravia KDL40EX40B. Sony has already sent customer email stating that we can’t cover repair since unit was already out of both Manufacturer and Extended Warranty. Customer Relations doesn’t have a way to extend the Extra Warranty the she has purchased especially when it’s already expired. By the way, we tried calling the customer today, 11/*/14, however she was not available to answer the call. We have called her to let her know that we have some options for her. She can call our Support Team for this.

Review: Sony has not called me back. We have had problems with the Sony VAIO laptop since June 2014. It was purchased 12/2013. I have called customer service repeatedly to get the computer replaced. I was told on 9/**/14 that customer service would call me in 24-48 hours. They still have not contacted me to give me the new replacement computer information. I have called customer service and they say they do not have a direct number to the department so I can speak to someone. I have been told several times that this is placed on the critical list and I should get a call in 24-48 hours. I have not received any calls from them.Desired Settlement: I expect a new computer and a written apology from Sony for their poor customer service. I expect a new ( not refurbished) computer replacement or a full refund within the next two weeks.

I still do not have a computer. I called the number and they said I have to try repair service again. I took the computer all the way back to the geek squad. They said they needed to run diagnostics on it again. They said I had to pay additional to get my information off my computer. I told them if they replace the hard drive I want the old one to try and get my ivory important information off of it. They said no. I cannot receive phone calls during the day. I am aSpecial education Teacher working with medically fragile children. I told Sony I need a phone number to aperson that can help me get this resolved. They said they do not have that phone number and they can make another note in the computer for the customer resolution center. They have told me this every time I called wanting to speak with someone. I still do not have this resolved.

[Your Answer Here]
Sony is not honoring the customer service agreement. I spoke with Geeksquad when I dropped off the computer and the ** office said they would give me the old hard drive. Now they have changed their mind and said I can not have it back. It sounds like they are not honoring this promise. All they have to do is put the old hard drive in the box and send it to me with the fixed computer. This is not good customer service. I have been dealing with Sony since June 2014 and they keep giving me a different person. Sounds like they are passing the complaint around to put me off. I will not purchase another Sony product ever. In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question abov

Dear Dispute Resolution Services,
Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc., regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted], about the Sony Vaio SVF15215CXW. Sony has already settled the issue with customer today, 11/*/14. She agreed to have the unit refunded by Sony with a prorated amount of $741.84, since [redacted] will no longer repair her unit due to the pending legal action filed by her. Customer already knew that the turn around time for refund check will be 8-10 weeks from the date it’s approved.

Review: 3/**/2016 we contacted Sony [redacted] to inform the person on the phone that we had bought a Sony [redacted] from best buy on Nov [redacted], 2015, which was now showing green and negative color on the TV. Since best buy has an exchange policy of only 45 days we contacted Sony to talk about the warranty coverage. we were guided over to technical services after trying to resetting the TV, disconnecting the cable box etc, but all that did not help. The technical service center told us that they have opened a case for this as the TV will need to be repaired.
3/**/2016 - we received an email from Sony National Service and Support citing reference case # [redacted]. Mentioning that WWTS will contact within 3 to 5 days to setup an appointment. I called WWTS [redacted] to find out if they had information about the case # and they told me no as it could take 24 hours for the systems to sync.
3/**/2016 - I called WWTS again to find out if they had information about case # [redacted] and they again informed me that they could not find the case # or find any references to the case with my phone #. At this juncture I called Sony [redacted] to information them about the conversation with WWTS. Sony tried to connect me to their technical services and was told that they are closed for the day and that I should call them in the morning on Monday.
3/**/2016 @ 7.11AM I called sony technical services @ [redacted] and spoke to April, who informed me that the case # is still looking good and that they will contact WWTS to clarify the issue. I also informed April that she should take a note on this case that we will not be available for any sort of service or repair from April [redacted] onward for the entire month of April, she said that she had noted it on the account.
3/**/2016 @ [redacted] I called Sony technical services again and spoke to Rick, who told me that they had made a note on the case that the client will be out from April [redacted] for the rest of the month. He also informed me that the part had been ordered and an appointment had been set for April [redacted] with WWTS to repair the TV and that WWTS technician will call me to setup a time, but the date of the appointment had been set to April [redacted].
3/**/2016 I got another email from Sony technical services mentioning that a new case # [redacted] had been created for my TV repair. Of course I called Sony technical services to talk about this here is what happened:
Me - I see that Sony has created a new repair case, what happened to the old one
Tech - [redacted].
At this point of time I hung up the call and the started writing the complaint here.Desired Settlement: I really dont want to deal with Sony or its related products any longer, at this point of time I want my money to be returned to me so that I can get a different TV set, something other than Sony for sure. and I am pretty sure that I will never recommend Sony or any of its products to any person I know of.

Dear Dispute Resolution Services: Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc. regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] about the Sony Android LED HDTV ([redacted]). Sony requested a service dispatch with World Wide Tech Services and the technician went out on Friday (04/**/2016) to repair the customer's TV. Sony contacted the customer today to verify if the TV was fixed and the customer confirmed that the TV is working fine now. Thus, we considered this case resolved. Thank you, Joe B[redacted]
Review: After filing Complaint ID: [redacted] against Sony for having been sold a defective cell phone Model #: Xperia Z1s and IMEI: [redacted] when the phone that is supposed to be water proof turned out not to be and dealing with the horrible customer service they had to offer, the issue was resolved and a new phone was sent. The new phone IMEI: [redacted] that was sent and has been in my possession for less the TWO weeks is also defective! I took it out of my pocket tonight to make a call and the phone screen is cracked! The phone is brand new and has NEVER been dropped. Not only has it never been dropped and is cracked, but the fact it is cracked causing the phone not to work AT ALL!! Once again I have had to call Sony to report yet another problem on the cellular device, but yet will have to wait it out again without a phone or any contact to anyone, hoping a emergency does not come about in this time. In researching the internet I also found the mysterious screen cracking is a very common problem. Links provided below... [redacted] And there are endless other links discussing this problem. Even if Sony was to fix this, how am I to know it won't happen again and if it does..will they fix it. How many time will I have to send my phone back to Sony or worry about if it is yet ANOTHER defective device!Desired Settlement: I want the phone replaced again and I need it replaced quickly. I was told by the customer service rep it would take at least 24 hours for me to get the email so I can send it in. The huge problem I am having is paying $600 for a phone and having it brake 2 times already! I need some sort of guarantee this won't happen again and if it does Sony will fix the problem. What is solution to remedy this issue that Sony has not only brought into my life, but from what I read the lives of many customers who spent their hard earned money on your products!

For status updates, we recommend that he call our contact center at [redacted] between the hours of 8AM and 11PM EDT.

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:
There is no resolution included in this response, it just tells me the phone will be evaluated and I am not sure how this fixes the problem of the faulty item that I have been sold from Sony, that I am now trying to have replaced for the second time! I need a guarantee a new phone sent out to be, due to the continuous problem that keep happening and I also need some soft of guarantee that this phone will be covered in the future if new problems come about. How am I supposed to have faith in Sony as a cell phone company when all this is happening and I am once again left without a phone, but am left paying my phone bill for a smart phone I do not have in my possession. I don't see Sony sending me $150.00 to cover the month I went without a phone or going out of their way in any from to make up for the position I have been put in due to their faulty equipment.
The response from Sony is not even close to a resolution to this problem!

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. However it should not take a company nearly 3 weeks, countless phone calls, and a Revdex.com complaint to get them to replace a defective item. Especially since this is the second defective phone I was given to replace another defective unit that was replaced only 2 weeks prior. Also a side note I was told I would be given a free blue tooth ear piece for my troubles. That was over a week and a half ago, I am still awaiting that to arrive or for that matter a tracking # for it.

Review: I purchased a pair of sony XBA-2IP headphones on 3/**/13 and purchased the extended warranty with the head phones. 18 months later my head phones began to short out and I contacted Sony about warranty repair/replacement. Sony then sent me a Fedex label to mail the defective head set to them. I did and they received the Headset signed for by one of their employees in Laredo on August [redacted]. It has now been over a month. And every time I call I get a different answer as to what the status is. No one seems to really know where my headphones are or if anyone has authorized an exchange on them. Depending on which department I talk to they blame another department (the exchange department blames claims, claims said they are waiting on exchange, exchange claims there is no stock in warehouse). The replacement was promised to be back in my hands in 7-10 days according to the SLA in the Extended Service plan. It has now been a month and I have no headphones and no Answers. On multiple occasions They have promised to call me back and after waiting two days I had to call them back and once again start all over. This is a ridicules way to run a business. I am writing to the Revdex.com in hopes that maybe a push from them can help Sony do the right thing. Since they seem to not care about the customer maybe they care about their Revdex.com standings.
The sony tracking number attached to my case is [redacted]Desired Settlement: Please send me the promised replacement earbuds as agreed to in the Protection Plan I purchased from the company.

Review: TV, was purchased Nov. 2013, still under warranty plus the extended warranty was purchased. TV is malfunctioning and once issue was called into SONY Support(02/**/2014), I was to have been contacted within 24hrs of calling in, which they have NOT done so. I have been calling back since then, and all they can say to me is that my issue is under "REVIEW'. Not sure if they are ignoring the fact that I purchased an expensive TV plus Extended warranty and CANT offer a better resolution to have this fixed quicker or they just cant do it. My last call to them on 02/**/214, I was given a date to have some parts ordered and expected to have delivered to a repair service locally here in Las Vegas, N.V. on 03/**/2014 not including time frame for them to schedule the actual repair. 2WEEK delay for a repair is just unexceptable for such a highend product, atleast for me that is. This has to be the WORST SONY EXPERIENCE, dealing with a warranty issue, I mean Walmart handles things like this better then SONY.Desired Settlement: REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. My desire is to have a working TV for my kids, not something on my wall that does not function. A better resolution would have been nice as well as them contacting me versus me having to call in to gather details. Very POOR customer contacting support.
