Urgent Complaint Regarding Google Nest Customer Service

Cindia66

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the handling of my recent issues concerning my Google Nest device. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the problems I have encountered, I have been met with nothing but frustration and disappointment.

Initially, I reached out for assistance with my Google Nest device, and while I appreciate the initial efforts made by a representative, the follow-up was severely lacking. The replacement I received for my faulty device did not function properly, and subsequent attempts to rectify the situation have been fruitless.

Furthermore, I am appalled by the consistently poor quality of customer service I have received throughout this ordeal. Every interaction with your representatives has been marked by rudeness and a distinct lack of helpfulness. Despite my requests to escalate the matter to a supervisor, I have been repeatedly informed that there is no avenue for further assistance.

The promises made to me regarding follow-up communication and resolution have all proven to be empty. It is deeply upsetting to invest my hard-earned money into a product only to be met with such disregard for customer satisfaction. As someone who cannot afford to casually spend hundreds of dollars, the Google Nest thermostat was not just a purchase but a significant investment aimed at reducing my household expenses.

I implore you to take immediate action to address this matter and provide me with the support and resolution I am entitled to as a paying customer. I expect nothing less than a swift response and a satisfactory resolution to this ongoing issue.

I have just logged in to post a message that is very similar to yours.

Thermostat showed an error and I've been battling rude, unhelpful staff with poor communication and no sense of urgency or actual desire to help.

I am currently wearing an outdoor coat standing next to the nest Thermostat exasperated. My house is freezing and it's 2200. Noone is helping.

I have had several conversations with representatives. The following series of numbers are the ones that have been emailed to me.  But I have spoken with several others that never sent me an ID number.  I have constantly request to speak to a supervisor and was told that they cannot send me to one.

Hi Cindia66,

 

I'm sorry for any difficulties you've encountered in reaching a supervisor.

 

After looking into your case, I can see that the replacement thermostat you obtained was defective, based on the W5 code you saw on your Nest Thermostat, up until the point where you were charged for the returned item. However, I'm happy to let you know that the funds should return to the charged form of payment within 3-5 business days or could take up to 14 business days, depending on the bank. If the fund still doesn't reflect on your account within the timeframe, please contact your banking institution.

 

Lastly, a new replacement has been processed; please check your inbox and spam/junk folder for the cart link.

 

If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

 

Thanks,
Mark

Yes my replacement was defective. I mailed it back.  I had to call to inquire about ANOTHER REPLACEMENT. It was my second call that I was told that it will be sent.  If you look at my calls there where multiple calls.  I was also upset that I paid to get my device without sending my current device. Than when the one I received was defective I had to send it back and I am still left without a functioning device.  I also got an email saying that I have to pay for it.  Honestly you type it up so simple. But I have faced multiple calls, constant disrigard, and yet to communicate with a supervisor. 3 phone calls where just operators who ridiculed me and did nothing to put me to ease. All the while I spent a whole winter without a proper functioning thermostat. 

I want to know why I have to pay for the current thermostat. I got an email for a $200+ invoice

Hi. Mark as much as you say this.  I still haven't received my thermostat.  Why is it difficult to speak to any supervisor or management.  Here I am having to respond to these messages and having to wait for a response. Do you not see the delay this is causing.  I wish I didn't buy this thermostat.

I've spent several hours today researching replacements that aren't Google nest. Awful piece of equipment that has absolutely no customer support.

 

I've been waiting a week for them to tell me how I'm supposed to remove a heat link (the only thermostat in the house) and send it back to them. No heating when it's 2°c for an unspecified length of time and not even a hint of compassion.
