Re: Replace bo

So do I just watch for this bubble to get to speak with someone? As just new to the community thot i may get the help we need here as cant seem to get it by phone our chat with agents an agent started chating and left his desk minutes after starting the conversation another agent told me at 16.42 they finished at 5.30 dont think it take that long to ask for a mini box but told me dont worry you can start again tomorrow at 8.30 dont think they wanted to help spent most of my time on chat or calling from this started 10 days ago by receiving the wrong replacement box from sky and been rather unpleasant asked if I could speak with someone by phone on chat earlier today said if I couldnt I would let my contract run out didnt bother them gave me a direct number but the agent ended the call because I wouldn't sign for broadband the call was to get a mini box sent just cant get help anywhere so paid a month in advance but stopped my contract how dose this work take your monthly payment and stop your service 3 days later unreal but cant speak to anyone to resolve the mistake that sky made to start this fiasco

What chat are you talking about if you haven't seen the chat bubble come up on here yet?

 

Do you already have a main Q box? Why can't you watch TV on that?

@Famguy-82 

The second escalation was only sent this morning so you now have 48 hours to click on it and start the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to a chat reply within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread periodically.

Re: Replace bo

Yes sent a main box twice last time I made clear was the mini box needed the agent told me was of highest priority but received a main box I still have but not able to get this replaced with a mini box think my contracts been ended aswell after being a loyal sky customer for over 30 years this is how things end never thot something like this could happen from being sent the wrong replacement box thot it be a 10 minute call to get correct box sent but how wrong was I think maybe if you could speak to someone by phone all this could have been avoided as been the worst 11 days of my life trying to sort the mistake sky made by sending the wrong box

Re: Replace bo

I replied to the bubble yesterday but havent heard anything back yet day 12 with no tv and still dont know what's going on dont know if I still have a contract had spoken with new customer team was told I would receive a mini box yesterday which hasnt come not arrived today ither so really dont know where we are now just gets worse as each day passes had a voicemail from sky yesterday said they would get back intouch over next 72 hours so waiting on this call the advisor left a number to call but cant understand it as was said realy fast and the language didnt help ither let many people at work listen to it in the hope someone would get the number but no one could so still stuck at this point and hope they call back thot maybe today but near 5.oclk be finishing soon so hopefully tomorrow as not going many more days without tv will have a new provider set up for the weekend but hopefully will receive the call back before then honestly dont understand how we got to this point over the wrong replacement box thot back then it be a quick call to get the correct replacement but far from it just never imagined anything like this

@Famguy-82 

You've said that already. You need to await the chat invite that @Chodley has requested which is the third one.
