Complaint Review: Max Assurance - Office Max - Marietta Georgia

I work for Office Max and try to get Max Assurance plans whenever I can, yes employees get tiny incentives, but I find they are handy with the appropriate customer service. We have had problems where people's product was broken after they got it. If they have trouble with Max Assurance we frequently will replace the item at the store if we can. People do have trouble with N.E.W, like any product warranty plan, but we at office max, at least ours, do everything we can to keep people happy. We actually had a manage call and argue (yell a bit) with the company because they do not cover a problem with a chair weakening and tilting. If you go to the store, they will usually do anything they can to resolve the problem, as long as they have half-decent customer service. I wont lie, some places have less than stellar customer service, but most do because it is now a big focus of the company.

As a former employee of this company, not this store however, I know that I would have taken care of you. Had you expressed your issue or concern, I would have simply done a return of both items, and then had it put everything onto a gift card. Most people don't realize that it kicks in after the manufacturer's warranty (which if you read your manufacturer's warranty, it doesn't cover anything except manufacturer's defects 99% of the time which is why the plan is sold). I ALWAYS made sure that the customer knew when the MaxAssurance plan kicked in and to come back to the store if they were having issues. Having read your post, it seems like you have some issues with communication and probably didn't communicate your issue right OR you were one of those jerk customers who start yelling and screaming instead of trying to work out some sort of agreement. I found that 90% of the time, if a customer came back into the store for their MaxAssurance because the number they called wouldn't take care of them, it was because the customer didn't know how to communicate the issue or understand. Once I worked through everything and figured out what it was that they were having an issue with, I took care of them. It seems like most stores outside my area are having an issue with customer service, as much as I hate to say it. I loved working for that company
