Query regarding recent order

    Hi,

    I placed an order yesterday for broadband and home phone. Got confirmation email as advised.

    However the recurring charge on the email is not as I would have expected.

    I ordered eFibre Unlimited Bundle online with the UK/International anytime add on. The UK/International add on was free for the first three months if ordered online.



    This is how I would have expected the cost breakdown


    months 1 - 3: €30 (eFibre 6 month online offer + 3 month free
    UK/International add on)
    months 4 - 6: €37.50 (eFibre 6 month online offer +
    UK/International add on)
    months 7 - 18: €65:50 (all promotional offers expired)



    Can someone verify that the order is as I expect?

    Also, can someone verify that it is indeed eTalk anytime local & national?


    Thanks very much,
    Dave

    Hi lawred2

    Sincere apologies for the delays, I believe you were advised of the appointment over the phone? I have still yet to have confirmation surrounding the package cost from online opps but let me chase this up for further and I'll get back to you soon - either way I'll ensure you get what you signed up for :)

    Well after taking annual leave for this installation appointment, it turns out unsurprisingly that it can't be completed because the infrastructural work was only half done. Cabinet to the house is done but not enough ports back to the exchange...

    And no word as to when that might be resolved..

    Frustrated is not the word.

    I've already called 1901 and it has been 'escalated'.. can you follow up on that please?

    Hi Alan,

    Any update on this?

    I would expect that this would be treated as a matter of urgency at this stage by Eircom.. yet no agent of Eircom has been in touch since 11am this morning when I reported the issue...

    Hi Lawred2

    Not sure if you have seen my previous post? I'll update you as soon as I have more information (I just want to assure you that the delays are not expected to be anywhere as long as your previous order for a few months ago)

    Cheers

    Hi Alan,

    Yes I saw you previous post; but reading my response back I can see why it looked like I might not have.. Sorry.

    What I was asking was whether the update on Monday would contain what work needs doing, when it's expected to start and when it's expected to be completed.

    I'm glad to hear that delays are not expected to be as long as previous..

    I do not have any of that information I'm afraid - Ultimately I'm still awaiting clarification myself and the only useful information I now have is that I have been told I should have more details on Monday. I know this is really frustrating and I'm sorry I can;t do more right now.

    Thanks

    I greatly appreciate that you engage with the customer Alan. I was 'promised' a callback from the 1901 CS team whether there was an update or not.. Heard zilch. Nor do I expect to.

    Without yourself; the CS experience with Eircom would be dismal.

    Doubt it's the first time you've heard that.

    Anyway; thank you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,395 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Hi Alan,

    Just got a text from Eircom with the following content

    "Your installation has been arranged for the morning of the 27th August. Should you wish to reschedule, call 1800580500 before 4PM today. Thank you, eircom"

    I take it I should ignore that?

    Thanks Al.. on my way home last night I passed some lads from KN who were starting the work to increase capacity at the cabinet. So looks like that should be done shortly. Still be good to get an update if there is one.

    Alan,

    I appreciate that you're doing your best but two weeks is long enough to allow eircom to confirm details of the contract that they have entered into with me. (never mind failure to deliver on promised installation). Eircom have not provided me with what should be easily and readily available details.

    I am now stating my intention to cancel this contract under 14 day cooling off period. Can you confirm that this order is now cancelled?

    All the best,
    Dave


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,395 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Hi Alan,

    Can you confirm that the address to return eircom router to is

    Eircom Logistics,
    Cragg Ave,
    Clondalkin,
    D24

    If not; could you provide me with the correct address?

    Also, can you detail which information I need to include with return? Would order number & account number be sufficient?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi lawred2



    Your feelings on this are certainly appropriate and I'm sorry I cannot offer better news. As the service has not be installed you will be free to cancel this at anytime, so the offer is there to give it a little longer if you wish? - Please let me know either way Dave I can still cancel if you wish.


    Thanks

    Hi Al,

    As I said; this is no reflection on yourself. You've always been helpful and honest. Which I appreciate.

    But please; can you process the cancellation as soon as possible and send me a notification when complete?

    I'll escalate to cancellations and arrange complete closure of this order. Again I do sincerely apologise for all this.

    The address you provided above it correct for return of equipment.
