When customer services DO work

After my big fat complaint about O2's customer service (that actually turned out OK in the end, after me having had a shouting match) I better publish my latest, very pleasant, experience in customer support too. I think lthe emails are self explanatory. Let me just say I am well impressed and a happy customer still!

My first email to Domia support yesterday at 16:33:


Hi,

Am trying to activate / register my newly purchased Harmony 2007 software here, but I am getting an error saying I am not using the right name and / or e-mail when entering the serial number into the installation dialogue. The program is telling me you got other credentials in your database. This is probably because I did a quick test install on a virtual machine here when I first got the software. And then I entered some random information, not any of my real e-mail addresses. (Didn't know the software would go online without any further confirmation from me at that point!) So now when I have set up my real home automation server, I cannot install the software other than in trial
mode. This regardless the fact I unregistered the software on the test machine (and therefore lost the dummy data I had put in there) :-(

Could you please assist with getting your database record for me correct, so I can install the software?

Hi Tony,

Seeing as you asked so nicely - all done.

I've cleared the registration details for the serial number, so you can now re-activate it with valid credentials.

Kind regards,

Rob

My reply back, minutes later:

Lovely jubbly Rob! :-) Worked like a charm.
Many thanks for the quick reply and fix.

Cheers,

Tony

And Rob's reply:

:-) Happy to help.

I wish all customer services were like that! Completely painless and really swift!
