Hi HP,
I have a brand new HP laptop that is too large and I have been trying to exchange it with customer service for over 2 weeks to no avail. I write this as I am waiting on hold for customer service for 25 minutes for the 3rd time this week. This experience has been nothing short of miserable.
I have been a loyal HP customer for over 15 years and never have I had such a horrendous experience getting help. I was looking to buy from BestBuy, but my dad, a loyal HP employee, convinced me to buy from the HP.com store and I cannot say I would ever recommend it again. At BestBuy or any other retailer, especially during the pandemic AND the holidays, there are no restocking fees - especially when exchanging for a more expensive laptop!
I was then told after my purchase and review of my purchase agreement that the laptop I ordered is not returnable even though I already have the return label. I would like to complete the exchange and upgrade to a smaller, more powerful laptop but despite the call extension for "exchanges" this seems like an impossible feat. I have been waiting for HP to call me back for 3 days - they leave no call back number!
This is my 9th call and 4th hour trying to work with customer service not to mention chains of emails. Happy to provide a timeline of my failed attempts to resolve my open order request.
Can someone here please help me complete my exchange for the HP Envy 13t or should I convert to Dell or Lenovo forever?
NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS: BEWARE OF THE HP.COM CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!
Sincerely,
A very disgruntled, likely no longer loyal, HP customer
