Summary of the "customer service" I've gotten from this company: 16 July Received the megaphone. It wasn't working and I put in a support ticket. At that time I noticed there was a chat option and tried that, but the person I was chatting with said they couldn't help me since I already had a ticket and I'd hear back in 24-48 hours. 22 July finally got a response. 6 days later, not 1 to 2. I was asked for proof of purchase (even though my email address should have easily given that since I ordered directly from the company site) and also asked for a video of the problem. I supplied all I could and asked how to send a video since the file was too big to email and no FTP site was offered. No response. 25 July Still no reply. Asked for an update. Was asked again to prove purchase. I did. Went back to the website and used the chat option to ask for a Support Phone number to try to actually speak to someone. When I called the operator couldn't help but she assured me my ticket was now a priority and I'd be contacted in 24 to 48 hours. 26 July I asked for an update and sent a YouTube link showing the problem with the megaphone. Realized they don't even work on Fridays when I tried calling again. Decided I was never going to actually speak to someone who can help and asked for a refund. 29 July, I emailed at 1 PM asking for an update. No reply. Called the number again. First call was disconnected after I asked for a refund. Called back and sat on hold for 30 minutes while the second operator tried to find someone for me to talk to for either support or a refund. She couldn't find anyone but assured me I'd hear back in....you guessed it: 24 to 48 hours. Then get an email just asking for my shipping address, which was the same one I've provided multiple times since the only actual contact I've had with "Mark Hagos" is him asking for receipts that all show my shipping address. No explanation for or apologies about the awful experience. 30 July, I get an email asking me to go buy batteries and try that. I reply: "I'm not going to go buy a bunch of C batteries. That's the reason I specifically got one that is rechargeable. If you want me to try that, you can send me some C batteries." 1 August I email asking if they're processing my refund. No reply. 2 August I email asking if they're processing my refund. No reply. 5 August I email "What is the status of my refund? This is absolutely insane." No reply. 6 August, went to the website to use the chat: Agent name: Rodolfo Welcome to Pyle USA! If you need any help, simply reply to this chat and we'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks! Email : ******@gmail.com Name : *********** Model number : PMP59IR How can we help? : I need to speak with a supervisor concerning my several weeks old ticket 895618. I have received no help and am hoping to avoid doing a chargeback, but I will if I don't speak to someone on the phone. Agent: Hi Chris, thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience. Not to worry, I'm here to help you. One moment, please. Thanks for waiting, Your information has been forwarded to our warranty department, so all you need to do is wait for an email to see what we can do for you. Anything else? Me: If you read my ticket, you can see I'm tired of the false promise of "we'll get back to you in 24-48 hours." I need to talk to someone today or I'm doing a chargeback. Give me a supervisor's direct number please Agent: Sorry about that. Rest assured that you will receive an email today. Me: I do not want an email. The chance for that is long over. Supervisor phone number or I call the bank . I'm being as polite as I can but this is the worst company I've ever dealt with. Agent: I do not have phone number for supervisor but you can contact us with this number kindly dial 718-535-1800. If you have any more questions or need help with anything else, please feel free to reach out to this chat again. Have a great day! Me: Is that just the basic support line? I've called it multiple times. I get told "we'll get back to you in 24-48 hours" Agent: We do not have a phone number directly to supervisor. Rest assured that you will receive an email today. Me: And rest assured my money will be clawed back by the bank today. It's honestly a mystery to me how this company is still in business. I was really looking forward to using this megaphone and I've had it now for about 3 weeks and I have not spoken to anyone at this company regarding the problems I had with it on day 1 outside of operators who can't help and just assure me someone will get back to me in a day or 2.
