Sonos outdoor speaker repairs

This morning my book of experiences with Sonos opened a new chapter. After I had to learn painfully that Sonos does not offer any repairservice centrally, I visited a licensed Sonos Dealer in the City of Braunschweig Germany. Even there, in a dealership with top noche service for repairs, the skilled dealers technicians refused to even accept to try to repair the Sonos speaker. I am just wondering how Sonos managed to maintain their reputation with such a customer orientation. My question is if anyone has an idea if the is some place where a only 4 year old speaker could t

be a least inspected for a possible repair solution.

Thanks

So what I read is:

Sonos services are the way they are and you (customer) take it - or leave it. 
My experience for the first time ever in a community group is to receive such comments. 
No one responding who experienced similar problems or found solutions for repairs. 
Maybe something „special“ here with the participants?

 

 

Instead of dillydallying around with "quoted" inferences, have a little respect and just state what you are implying in plain words.  Of course what you are implying is silly and completely irrational, considering for some of the respondents, me included, Sonos' would have had to manufacture thousands (or 10s of thousands) of posts over the course of almost two decades or more.  So hiding behind your inference is exactly what allows you to level the accusation without any evidence or proof, right? 

Meh, nothing to see here, folks.  Just another in a long line of not liking the reality of the replies, so reality must be some type of misinformation campaign by Sonos reps masquerading as actual users.  How boring . . .

      • Das rabattierte Tauschgerät kommt wiederum mit einer zweijährigen Garantie
      • Es gibt in Deutschland eine bekannte Reparaturwerkstatt eines Fremdanbieters. Er offeriert Festpreise, die Kosten für Verpackung und Versand musst Du selbst übernehmen. Du musst danach googeln, da entsprechende Links als Werbung eingestuft werden
      • Also wäge ab, was Dich letztendlich billiger kommt

       

      • The discounted replacement unit includes a two-year warranty
      • There’s a well-known third-party repair shop in Germany that offers fixed prices, though you’ll need to cover packaging and shipping costs yourself. You’ll have to look it up, as links to such sites aren’t allowed here
      • In the end, it’s worth comparing both options to see which works out cheaper for you
