Received 7 defective Nexus 7's and Google is now refusing RMA's

Re: Received 7 defective Nexus 7's and Google is now refusing RMA

We're all entitled to our opinions. That's what makes open mindedness a great thing.

You are correct i don't have an MD and don't think I need one to make my armchair analysis. So i might ask where is your journalism degree for your "reporting." Good reporting should be fair and objective. I swear this is my VERY last two cents on this thread. And I do wish you all the best in your quest. As it turns out I may have exactly what you have been seeking -- a 100 percent perfect c60 . I wish you well my friend.

So I got my third one today, and this one's looking defect-free so far - absolutely no screen lift, no dead pixels and no light bleed. It's a C80 series.

Anakin - it seems that Staples is now shipping C80s. You might want to try there instead of Walmart. I ordered online, with the plan to return in-store if there was an issue, and fortunately there wasn't.

I got a C80 from Walmart with some major light bleed at the top...but, I will try Staples tomorrow. I actually have a good feeling about the C80's and good for you that you got some awesome tablets! Thanks for the tip!

I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow and I'm not even buying this tablet. Here's hoping this one will be to your liking.

Re: Received 7 defective Nexus 7's and Google is now refusing RMA

When I contacted the Google Play Store, I spoke with two floor managers named Matt and Trevor in particular who promised me repeatedly that they would do anything and everything to rectify the issue, are escalating my RMA and I would hear a response from Google in the near future. Matt actually stated that if I had to go through 10 units to discover one void of screen defects, he would do that. I never received any correspondence from Google at all. Exchanging numerous tablets was not my solution and to avoid further exchanges, I repeatedly inquired if they would QA the next unit to be shipped, which eventually did result in an email stating that they can not do so, as Google opening the unit would void my Asus warranty. I offered to send one of my tablets in for repair to have it refurbished with a new LCD which has been properly seated, which they said that they would "look into" and never replied back in kind. Eventually, after requesting what would be my 8th RMA, the supervisor Cameron implied that I am inventing this issues and no QA issues exist. He then informed me that Google will no longer provide RMAs on my account and that this is a decision that came from above him. Their customer service is nonexistent at best and poor regularly. They are absolutely the most difficult and disorganized organization that I have ever made a purchase from. For the record, the only other electronic device I've processed an RMA for was my Transformer Prime, which also had screen separation and it was rectified on the subsequent unit.

This part just makes me sniggle. It sounds to me like Google has been OVERLY generous in trying to rectify your alleged 'light bleed' by sending 7 tablets in less than a month. Yet you say they are the most difficult customer service you've ever dealt with....

Curious.

I just cannot believe you folks are still feeding this guy!!!! He started the exact same thread at XDA on the very same day on Aug 22nd......on Aug 24 he was getting humiliated so badly that HE requested the thread be locked. And he hasn't posted on XDA since.

Here he is getting all the attention he requires.

Re: Received 7 defective Nexus 7's and Google is now refusing RMA

I returned my nexus 7 to google on the 2nd of august and they still haven't refunded me. I called them 8 times since i returned it and every time they keep telling me to wait a few days. they need a good pay me now ass beating.
 
Re: Received 7 defective Nexus 7's and Google is now refusing RMA

Good scouting! I wonder how you came to the conclusion that I was humiliated by that thread? That implies that I care what members on the XDA think. I requested the thread to be locked because I post to be helpful and it was clear that the XDA didn't want help. Check my posts on the XDA, most of them are to help noobs get a start. I left XDA because the mods were not keeping the forum in check and also that I don't help a community that doesn't deserve it.

Of all the things I've come to loathe on many of these forums is that it's ok to humiliate someone because they don't do what everyone else would do.

Most of the members of XDA think their knowledge makes them gods so it doesn't surprise me one bit that humiliation was the order of the day.

And it seems to me that you want to expound on that humiliation by not only mentioning it but by also posting the link to said humiliation here. If the OP or thread is bothering so many why do y'all keep coming back to read and reply?

Y'all act like the OP is the only one who returned more than one Nexus 7 or any device for that matter.

There is nothing wrong with this thread or the one on xda. It's the reaction of the members. I'm included in that. I gave him a hard time after a few posts, but realized I'm not one to judge anyone for anything. All he wants is a device free of defects.

And did you read the response from the moderator that closed the thread? It should tell you something about the members there and why he closed the thread. Let's not be like that. Let's be mature and respectful.

I didn't know about the thread until just now. Most threads get lost in a sea of roms and themes. I'm usually only there when I'm looking for something specific.

I've had two replacements, trying to resolve data drops. Not half a dozen or more.

Guys.. no one is forcing you to read or post in this thread.. bickering back and forth is just going to end up putting you in a bad place. If you have nothing constructive to say, then please move on.

Thank you

If the QA/QC is so bad why do so many of us have perfect units? I don't mean defects that we can live with, but perfect defect free units. I know not every unit is tested. I also know some are tested, pass QA/QC then $#!+ happens afterwards. Things happen with electronic components.
 
Re: Received 7 defective Nexus 7's and Google is now refusing RMA

WallyWorld only had C7's. Just returned my unit. I'll wait around for newer units to arrive. Already have one bad C8 though...

Oh happy day. You actually walked out the store w/O buying another one. :D
Did they say when they'd get more shipments in?

No, they had a few C6's and C7's...so that store is out. The Walmart near my house is showing they're in stock online, so I'll return another one back to them and see if they have a C8 for me today. Haha.

Who cares? I do think that it's great you have enough time to keep track of a members thread topics at two completely different forums.

"Return another?" You just lost me. From this thread you've already returned each one you've purchased. :confused:
