After sales support and customer care is non existent
After buying a Bravia 8 ii at a premium price direct from Sony it packed in within 3 weeks of being delivered. Apparently an issue with the power (3 red LED blinking) and is a major problem. I accept sometimes you get a bum product so was on to Sony straight away to get it sorted. They agreed to replace it so all good. However For them to send a replacement their process is to first collect the faulty product and have it arrive in their warehouse in Auckland (we live in South Island). It also needs to be in a box. I have already disposed of the original box so they were going to send a box for me to pack. Again a slight irritation but I can accept this. 2 weeks later and still no box even though I have been constantly asking for one to be sent. They even sent a courier (who arrived without warning, thankfully we were at home at the time) to collect the faulty TV. Yay. But they would not collect it as it was not in a box. Boo They still point blank refuse to send a replacement TV or process a refund until they receive the old one but have made no concerted effort to collect the old one. I am constantly promised communications which never happen. It is now coming to the stage of having to take it to the disputes tribunal. I have always loved Sony products but their after sales care service is shocking. When you spend over $5k on a television you expect some decent service to back it up. Not so with Sony New Zealand.
