- I like Gateway a lot, but I agree they have a service problem. Here's how
- I solved it for me:
-
- First, I spent the obligatory 20-30 minutes waiting on the phone. When I
- finally got a technician, I was super nice to him (politeness
- counts--remember, they talk all day to irritated and rude customers, when
- someone is nice and appreciative of them, they remember it and will try
- harder!). He solved my problem and I got his name and FAX number,
- and I told him I really appreciated his efforts in helping me.
-
- When I had another question/problem a couple of days later; I faxed him a
- quick message (addressed to him), saying "you did a great job helping me
- out a couple of days ago, can you help my again please?" and detailed my
- problem.
-
- The result: FIVE(!) minutes later I got a call from him and he fixed my
- problem. This is great--I got them to call me back and all it took was a
- little politeness, patience, a couple of cents for the FAX transmission
- time, a good technician.
-
- Try it, it may work for you too!
