This after FOUR calls to Apple in the last week to REPEATEDLY get them to make my shipping address my billing address and FOUR promises that they did just that.
So I send in the requested information and call them to get to a supervisor.
1.4 hours later of jamming to hold music....
"Gee whiz sir, not sure how this has happened but I super secret squirrel promise that we have this right this time. Apparently 4 other of my associates here can't spell worth a lick and have totally mis-typed your address four different times. But on the bright side, at least your phone is now sitting in the right state!"
I've been offered a free case for my trouble (I took it but don't want it). I've been offered a $25 iTunes gift card (Took that will give it to my kids). The guy last night offered me free Apple care (which I had already bought with this phone and which arrived LAST WEEK to my PROPER address I might add). They won't budge on giving me a credit on my order, but have offered me freebies for my troubles.
I just want my damn phone sent to my billing address. Why is this so freaking hard?!?!?!?!?! My shipping address is my billing address. The same damn address you ask me to verify EVERY STINKING TIME I call in to get you to fix this mess so I know you've got it right there in front of you. I don't even have that difficult of an address to spell....it's not 123 Anywhere Street but its pretty freaking close to that simple.
I've bought a lot of gear from Apple over the years. Never had this kind of an issue before. Totally inept service process.
This is just awful. Has your UPS tracking information changed since friday? On friday 9/19 UPS says my phone had a destination scan from my old address, but no updates over the weekend...it still states that I will get my phone tomorrow by 3 pm.
