So in both, Billing address was my home address but in 1 order, shipping address was my friend's address who lives in another state in USA.

They said as UPS has already got the package, they can't do anything?? They asked me to contact UPS.. When I insisted that it is Microsoft who need to resolve it with UPS,... More...

  • Tech shuts down my new computer



    office 365 is being charged to me & I haven't had it for a couple months. I called to request a refund & was talked into a "quick & simple reinstall" A tech went into my system for an hour, could not reinstall office but managed to shut down everything else! it has been a week now. Microsoft techs have been rude, uncaring, bunch of incompetent techs. I have been hung up on several times, lied to 2 times about a call back, & even accused of it being my fault. I have been transferred between departments each saying its the others problem. I am sure I will end up... More...

  • X-box not working AGAIN



    We are now preparing to send back a second X-box one Kinect. The first one didn't connect at all to our television. The second one wont read any of the games we have. I have read on line that this has happened to other people and the only solution is to return it. The children are once again disappointed and I have to go through the hassle of sending the console back. I have also got to decide whether to try for a third time??? I am amazed that a company as large as yours are subjecting your customers to shoddy products (this gift was not cheap) I hope you read your customers... More...

    My 12 year old son was offered a 30 day xbox music offer and my credit card was on the system. Xbox automatically started billing my credit card ( one my wife uses occasionally only) . I never noticed till 8 mo later not questioning what I that was my wife's minor purchases( $ 10.49 mo). When I phoned xbox for a refund all they would credit back was one month.

    I bought a Surface RT for my mom for mothers day this past May and on August 9, 2014 it stopped working, went black wouldn't charge or power on, so I followed the steps on Microsoft's website and submitted it for replacement and set it back via FedEx. Got a call this evening stating that the screen was cracked when they received it and it would cost me an additional 225.00 dollars to have it replaced or they will send it back to me to have which it will just be a paperweight as I will not be spending an additional 225.00 dollars for something that was not my fault, I told them...

  • Microsoft's Very Poor Technical Support



    After a third level Microsoft Support Engineer Refreshed Windows 8.1 on a computer, the computer started waking up on it's own in my bedroom early in the morning which was disturbing. As a result of this, it caused some problems which are: 1. When I get up out of bed to resolve the issue, I cannot shut down Windows properly because the monitor remains blanked! This is very poor design. 2. As a result of not being able to shut down the computer properly, by turning it off, some files were corrupted. 3. Since some files were corrupted, I received multiple error messages and the Search... More...

  • DO NOT BUY A SURFACE



    I Purchased a RT Microsoft Surface for my son for Christmas 2013, not even a whole year ago, based on the tv ads bombarding cable at the time trying to convince consumers that the surface was better than the ipad. I purchased it from a walmart in Houston but I live in Trinidad so returning it is not an option. This product has been nothing but trouble. The Appstore (which is very, very limited...a feature they fail to tell you when comparing to the ipad) stopped working and tech support kept transferring me back and forth between departments, none of whom could help. We took it to a friend... More...

  • Terrible customer service



    It's not surprising that Category does not have Customer Service option. I'm positive that negative reviews would overwhelm all the rest. On June 30 2014, I suffered a most terrible customer service from Microsoft's out-sourced Customer Service Center (in Mumbai, I presume based on accents). Microsoft failed to email us a receipt for credit card purchase on July 8 2014. Since we need every single receipt to reconcile out office credit card, I phoned Microsoft in order to get the receipt emailed to us. What was supposed to be a quick routine, turned into over an hour long... More...

  • Microsoft EMAIL lockout/PW reset fiasco



    Purchased a new tablet PC, wanted to set-up email, and used the Windows 8.1 MAIL icon. To enable mail you MUST set-up a Microsoft email account. Chose to use outlook, knowing full well I would NEVER, EVER use this email address. Had to leave and when I went to restart the tablet Windows 8.1 changed my logon from my personal logon to the Microsoft Outlook email address. When I attempted to logon I had trouble remembering the password for the account I would never use, and the system locked me out. Now the only way to recover, supposedly, is to use an automated system. Well the automated... More...

  • Microsoft E-mail Security Nightmare



    2 months ago tried to delete an old e-mail address out of my system and was told I would have to reset all my security information using another e-mail address. This required a code I NEVER received and it seems will never get. Six phone calls, often blaming something else and two chats. The second chat would not work and gave me internal error messages from the microsoft site. Eventually the Indian on the phone and myself both resigned to the fact that nobody will be able to help me, either through chat or via phone. Dead End. Can't believe they prompt me for a code through a... More...

    A error on my laptop due to windows 8.1 led to me having to reset my pc. Now i can not trust my pc. I went on the windows sites to get help and found trusting my pc FAQ. The information did not change anything!!! I even went on community and see many have the same problem. A microsoft support engineer answered for a while then dissapeared.

    I bought Microsoft Surface 2 64GB in NYC, NY and I now currently resides in Indonesia. I have been trying to get support for my tablet being unresponsive when I was told that the support team here can't help me at all and I should contact the support team in NYC. I even told them that I don't mind paying for the service as if the warranty is void but they would not lift a hand to help. Now, I just think for a corporation of this size, their policy is ridiculous and right now my surface is useless.

The soft ware does not work properly and you are asked to sign in. then the page comes up but you cant sign in. You are put through to a tech and then after just giving your name and saying hello you are told to sign in again. You try but cant then you are told your session is paused until you sign in but you cant. The tech ends your chat as you are too busy to answer.

  • Unethical Behavior



    I contacted Microsoft Support to ask why the Windows 8.1 update wouldn't install. The person that took the call connected to my PC remotely, and downloaded Malwarebytes (which is free). While it was running, he tried to charge me $150. When I said let's see if it works first, he tried to uninstall Malwarebytes. When I saw what he was trying to do, I powered off the PC (to break the remote connection), reran Malwarebytes, then successfully installed Windows 8.1. That was one of the most unethical actions I have ever seen. I just wish Windows had a decent competitor. More...

  • Create problems they cannot fix



    Enough is enough, so many excuses, switching from one expert to another. I had one tech delete all my new software and could not re install it. On top of that left me in safe mode and told me someone would get back to me the following day. My computer is actually stuck in safe mode, I have tried to reboot in normal mode but it won't. That was four days ago. I called simply because Word was running slow. Now my software is all gone off my computer and no one has called to resolve their mistake they made. They are supposed to help fix problems not create new ones. How many people does... More...

  • Microsoft Windows 8 and 8.1 upgrade



    I have had the Windows 8 O S on my Lenovo desktop for about 9 months. I bought the desktop new and it came with Windows 8. Windows 8 is a mediocre to poor OS, no visible improvement over Windows 7. The 8.1 upgrade was not compatible with my Leonovo and I had to spend much time to uninstall it. This is absolutely absurd. I believe that Microsoft products are the best advertisement out there for Linux, Apple and all else that isn't Microsoft. It is raw garbage and a great deception and hassle for users.
