hp carepacks state 24/7 support but this is not true - why do hp make this claim?

[tijlamak]

Hi,

I'll try and keep it brief:

1) I purchased a care pack with my spectre laptop - trackpad broke on sunday and I needed to find support for the 24/7 coverage advertised on my carepack

2) Monday I was able to get through to someone who advised me that support is only 9-5 mon-fri. 

3) Laptop was picked up, reparied next day and returned - EXCELLENT service.

4) I queried HP asking why they say 24/7 and what the 24/7 support process was just in case this happened again

5) The response really irritated  me: see below.

6) I pointed out the screenshot and highlighted the 24/7 references.

Here are my questions to HP support...

1) Why do you state 24/7 support when HP have told me it is 9-5 Mon-Fri only? 

2) If this claim of 24/7 support is genuine - what does it refer to and how do you use it? (the number on the care packs only works 9-5 mon-fri)

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
