IBM (Lenovo)--Customer Support as it Should Be

| 3 Comments | No TrackBacks

My new Thinkpad T40 DVD Multi-write RW drive was not working. I called the IBM support number from their web site. They said they would send me a new drive with packing materials to send back the old drive. It arrived the next day. The new drive works. It took me 7 minutes on the phone and 3 minutes to package up the drive and call Airborne to come pick it up.

Now that's customer service. They respect my time, my competence and my value as a loyal customer.

Thanks IBM.

It's too bad more companies (like Motorola) can't learn from IBM's lesson.
