Yep the customer care is first rate. I do wonder however how much money they might lose over a year with those who run a scam of āoh no, my item is not workingā to get a replacement, as very rarely is the item asked to be returned to confirm defect, a replacement is normally just automatically sent.
Awesome customer care (again)
Wonder indeed.
It is down to the āscriptā in the service center. What I do is I proactively assume skepticism and over-inform of āyes I did check thatā in advance with as much evidence as possible.
I respect the fact it is a global mainly China based support so every step you can eliminate shaves a day.
To your point, of false negatives, Iām sure it is easy to spot good customer vs bad customer. I bought āoodlesā of Anker and claim little so there is a trail of evidence I am not abusing. Others may be different.
Being a Power User, I have numerous Anker products powering my house and daily life. Once I got a similar problem with some SoundBuds Sport, which got replaced, no questions asked.
I recently had a similar problem with the Bluetooth Selfie Stick, and once again, Anker did a great job, by sending me another one.
I do wonder also if people abuse on this to get free stuff. I hope Anker is keeping track to detect abuse.
To be honest, this kind of cheating issue we found many times before, but we are still willing to unconditionally believe our consumers. Cos our company serves the objective: The quality first, the consumer is supreme.
Iāve only needed to log one item for a defect (SoundBuds NB10) of the battery not holding sufficient charge after a few months of use and despite not having the serial no, it was still replaced rapidly. I guess they have some system in place for monitoring repeat offenders (most likely email, with serials if lucky for batch checking) but some will no doubt take advantage of above and beyond gratuity Anker extends to customers.
Some examples (single number digits), in my opinion, can be found here on the community forums
Abusers should stand out. I think I have had total of 3 Anker support issues over years, dozens of orders, anyone can tell Iām not abusing.
What I really like, is the reasonableness. Too many characters in one word but it fits the feeling.
I have to deal with others with an A in their name and it is so different, I end up repairing the item myself as it is cheaper and/or faster than their āsupportā.
This is good advice when requesting support from most companies. It really helps speed up the process!
I figured you would say something like that @AnkerOfficial. Itās really awesome to see a company that is so people-first. As always when that is the case, there are those who will take advantage, but I think the fact that you stick to that approach despite those who might do that, has paid off much more in customers who are passionate and committed to your brand. You are an excellent example of how a company should treat itās customers. Thank you!
Thatās nice from you
Well no wonder your SoundBuds Life was problematic, you have tape all over it All kidding aside, Ankerās customer service is awesome. Iāve always been able to get a hold of someone at Anker in a short amount of time, if not right away. Iāve gone thru some troubleshooting with them and had questions also. And every time I had contacted them, my problem or concern was met. Kudos to Anker for their customer service. This is definitely one of the things I love about Anker, besides their high quality products of course.
