I purchased a personal laptop from Staples along with a 3-yr coverage plan on 12.29.2008. The laptop cost $1199.96 and the 3-yr coverage cost $299.99. On 4.4.2011 I couldn't turn the laptop on. I called Staples on 4.4.2011 and was told I would have to wait for a box and a pre-paid shipping label and could not take it to the Staples where I purchased it.
I received the box and pre-paid shipping label from "Blue Raven Technology, Inc." on 4.6.2011. This is where it was going to be sent to be repaired. If I wanted UPS, who delivered the box and pre-paid shipping label, to pick the box up from my home to be shipped to "Blue Raven Technology, Inc." for repair, I had to pay $9 or I could get in my car and take it to the nearest UPS shipping station. I took it myself on 4.6.2011 to my closest UPS - oddly enough, it was the Staples where I purchased my laptop. I got my laptop back on 4.13.2011. When I pushed the power button, nothing happened. The laptop came back to me in the exact condition it was when it was sent to Blue Raven Technology, Inc. - not working.
I immediately called Staples, spoke to a rep. Derrick, told him the problem wasn't fixed and he said he would send another box. As of today, 4.18.2011, I haven't received the box. I called Ariel ** at Staples headquarters today, which is my second time in dealing with him. He said I should get the box by tomorrow, 4.19.2011. I told him how upset I was having to send it to the same company, Blue Raven Technology, Inc., who already had the chance to fix my laptop, and failed. I not only have to send it back to them, I am waiting for a box and pre-paid shipping label since calling on 4.13.2011 and being told the 2nd box will ship out immediately. He said there was nothing further he could do.
I asked him if I could speak to CEO Ron Sargent or have an email address for him, both answers were no. He said that is what he( Ariel **) was there for. He said the position of his job at Staples Headquarters was the highest position under the CEO Ron Sargent. When I finally had enough of Ariel ** telling me there was nothing more he could do, and already knowing I wasn't going to be able to contact the CEO ,I said since there is nothing he can do why are we still talking? He said, "You're right." I said, "Thank you and goodbye."My complaint is most definitely at both Staples and Blue Raven Technology, Inc.
Blue Raven Technology, Inc. sent a checklist in the box along with the unrepaired laptop, checking every box stating the laptop was functioning. I have copies of everything. I have two incident #'s. The first given on 4.4.2011 is 19804961. The second given on 4.13.2011 is 19908392.
