Two months to get a Toshiba Laptop fixed

2012 July 4 at 04:29 » Tagged as :toast, toshiba, jkoa,

Remember how I blogged about taking my toasted Toshiba laptop to the agents for repair about two months back? You would be pretty sure that I have got it back by now. Think again. It's still with them, and virtually untouched. This was the response that I recieved when I inquired on the 30th of may.

Please note that above mentioned parts are still in backorder & we are closely  following up with our counterparts in Spore and will update you as soon as we received the firm Expected Time for Arrival date.

Thank you very much for understanding,

We regret very much the inconvenience caused.

Ok fine, somethings do take a bit of time don't they?  Let's give them a couple more weeks, and this is the response to my inquiry on the 12th of June.

This is to inform you that the parts are still in backorder & we are closely following up with our counterparts in Spore and will update you as soon as we received the firm Expected Time for Arrival date.

On the 26th of June I wrote to them again and asked them not to send me a cut and paste reply. And to their credit, someone called me instead. The answer was pretty much a recitation of the above paragraph, but she did promise to give me a firm date 'soon' for when they expect to receive the parts. I am still waiting for that email.
