Customer Service

I don’t know about the rest of you but…

Customer Service seems to think I have all day to allow someone who doesn’t know what they are doing to try and help me.  I spent 1 hour 23 minutes on the phone with them today.  Apparently they are all in the Philippines.  The first person I spoke to gave me ridiculous tasks toward resolving my problem.  She was obviously typing and simply reading from a script.  After about 20 minutes of that, I asked for a supervisor.  The supervisor spent the remainder of the 1+23 trying to resolve the issue, three times saying “Oh, I know what the problem is now, we’ll have it fixed in no time.  Wrong.  After the third time, I asked for a higher level of technician because he was not able to resolve the issue.  I shared my frustration after paying a lot of money for the Arc Ultra, two Sub 4, 2 ERA 300, 4 Five, 2 Playbar, 1 Port, 3 Connect, and tired of dealing with a finicky app and not getting timely help...which all fell on dear ears.  Oh, did I mention that there is no way to talk to an American working at Sonos HQ in Santa Barbara?  Well, there isn’t.  This is the second time in a month that the app has given me difficulty that they could not resolve in over an hour on the phone with me.  I ended up trying some things myself and resolved the problem.  Such BS.  I will NOT recommend Sonos to anyone I care about and will not buy any more Sonos products unless there are dramatic changes in customer service and the app.  Furthermore, if the day comes and I have a Sonos bonfire, I will video the entire event and post it on YouTube for y’all to watch.  Hope your day has gone better than mine.

Did you find what you were looking for?

I can beat that!!

Over 4 hours on Live Chat and then the phone today trying to find out why the system fails every time I try to do an update.

Attempted on both the Android App and the Windows Controller.

 

I was going round in circles with support, being told to try the same things over and over again. Surprisingly with the same result each time. Failure to update.

Must have rebooted the router, deleted and reloaded the Apps, powered off and on the Sonos speakers around 10 times, all with no luck.

2nd level support also involved and after all those hours wasted, they then told me that the update was not yet fully available on their server and that it should be complete by tomorrow. So please try again tomorrow and here is a ticket number if you need to contact us should it fail.

Sounds like nonsense to me, but given the fiasco over the new App roll out last year, nothing would surprise me. Surely if they knew the update was not fully available, why not advise their support staff and save everybody wasting their time.
