Dear Sirs.

I have a AR3000 CURVED SOUND BAR do you have an agent in South Africa that could supply me with a new remote control and if that is not the problem is it possible to get the bar repaired here in South Africa. Thanking you Regards Graham Palmer

User's recommendation: A sad state of affairs, a good product let down by non existent back up service unfortunately so common these days of throw away products and buy again

Speaker's won't connect

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • First rep was unhelpful and hung up on me, with kids crying in the background.
  • Second rep couldn't help and blamed Amazon.ca, showing poor service.

Very "unhelpful " reps!..first was obviously working from home as there were kids crying in the background!..rep actually hung up on me and I was actually being polite!

Called back and second rep said they couldn't help me with my issue..blamed it on Amazon.ca and willing to do nothing to help! Very poor customer service as far as I'm concerned

Pros:
  • Good product
Cons:
  • Horrible customer service

Preferred solution: A replacement speaker that would pair up as they are advertised and supposed to do!!

User's recommendation: The speakers are well made and sound good..however the customer service SUCKS if you have an issue!
