Sony takes 7 months to figure out how to reply to an email.

by eunmac on February 8, 2008

So I bought a very nice HD video Cam (HDRSR7) from Sony last July. Great camera so I even signed up to the MySony website where they were offering some great rewards for purchasing this product with signing up. Strangely, nothing happened so I emailed them (a few times from the form [image shown]).

On the site Sony says they’ll be back to you in 48 hours (pretty good eh!)

THE RESPONSE….
FINALLY a response email arrives over 7 months later :

Not quite what I was expecting… but at least they admitted their fault. Thanks Sony :)

Now if only I could remember what I was trying to get them to do…???

Updated Mon 11 Feb…:

They sent me another useless reply (wow inside 24 hours).
Ok they spelled my name wrong. Now should I call the number – they’re not making it easy for me…?!?!
