Hello,

Has anyone else received a curved monitor only to turn it on and see that the lcd screen is broken? Well after patiently waiting 25 days for my system to arrive and carefully setting everything up with such joy and enthusiasm I was severely let down by a 2 inch vertical black line down my screen.

I immediately contacted customer support and sent all pictures that were asked of me. I was then told that they couldn’t do anything and I needed to file a claim via FedEx. While I was filing with FedEx I needed some information from DS so I reached back out only to be told to not go through FedEx and to wait to hear a response from DS management.

It’s now been 12 days since I received my setup and I haven’t been able to use it because I don’t have another monitor. It’s also been 11 days since my last email from DS and I’ve reached out 4 times now with no responses or updates. I’ve filled out the survey that was sent to me and received an email back that management would contact me, it’s been 3 days since that email as well.

I’m severely disappointed with the customer service. I just want someone to reach out to me and give me some sort of update so that I know I’m not being forgotten because it really feels like they just don’t want to deal with it and are just ignoring me.

Someone at DS told you to file a claim with FedEx yourself? That's incorrect, DS bears responsibility of delivering the product without damage and if it is damaged on arrival then the dealing with FedEx part is on their end, aside from you needing to provide some basic information and in many cases with high-value items return the damaged item. There are some exceptions to this, such as private couriers, forwarders, etc. but in this situation it's on DS to fix the issue if the monitor was damaged on arrival. It sounds like you've been trying to get in contact with management, have you spoken with Alex ([email protected]) yet?

I, too, would like to know more. Filing a claim with FedEx is not how DS operates. There is information that is not being shared.

Like Tidgxor asks, have you contacted Alex ([email protected]) yet? This is not something that he would allow AFAIK.

Thank you everyone. I will definitely email Alex directly. Initially I was told to file a claim with FedEx directly. The upon asking more questions that were on the FedEx claim like how much was the shipping for that specific item and a few other details, I was then told to wait to file through FedEx until the rep had gotten more information from management. It has been 12 days now with no response from the rep I was dealing with my issue or from management.

Sorry you are having so much trouble. You did not contract with FedEx to ship anything. In legal terms, you do not have privity with FedEx to claim anything from them.  You deal with the shipper, in this case, DS.

Contact Alex as posted by Tidgxor and Snaike, he will get to the bottom of this and get your issue resolved. Good luck.

Could have been a new hire, but, we'll learn from this. I just sent you an email:

I’m sorry about this. Thank you for sharing this with me, usually we are very good with taking care of these type of situations, we will escalate this and look into what happened. I will forward it to our Sr. Customer Service Manager, Ron (on CC) and he will get in touch with you on Tuesday when we’re back in the office.
