As OcUK sell Logitech products, I thought I would just publicly tell my story of their excellent customer support.

I know their CS is well known across the web, but it's always nice to see new examples of it.

Around 4 years ago I bought a Logitech MX-1000 mouse. I had a problem with it charging about 2 years after buying it. So after a few easy emails (responded to within a few hours), they sent me a brand new MX Revolution as a replacement. All they asked I send back was the USB plug from the MX-1000 base station, which cost me about 80p to return to them. It arrived by courier a few days after they promised and before I had sent back the plug.

A few months ago I started to find my Revolution was having problems with the receiver in the back of my PC, so I got an extension cable and moved it to within 30cm of the mouse (not ideal) and that smoothed things out again. Yesterday however, even that wasn't enough. So, after making sure it wasn't WiFi or phone interference or another USB device in the system, I emailed them again (bearing in mind this is now about 2 years since they sent me the MX Revolution).

They informed me that my warranty was up on the Rev, but they would offer me a 50% discount on any new MX mouse bought through them. I found that very tempting as the Performance Mouse MX at £44 was a very good deal. However I love my MX Rev and it really is in pristine condition, so emailed them back and asked if they could perhaps offer me the 50% discount on a new receiver (its £16 with shipping normally), as i'd like to see if that fixed it first.

They have just emailed back saying they will send me a new receiver gratis and where should they post it to. The whole thing has taken 4 emails and just under a day. They have also said that if the new receiver doesn't fix it, the 50% offer still stands.

Companies around the world take note: this is how to keep customers coming back to you again and again as well as getting business through recommendation.

It is not coincidence my mice and keyboards for the past decade or so have been Logitech, nor is it a coincidence I have a Logitech speaker set (which they have also replaced under warranty when a plug became loose on the sub and didnt even ask for the old ones back!!)

I just thought i'd share with the masses as it's always good to know where to go for consistently good after sales service.
 
Had a bad experience with them when my G7 started double clicking on everything, can't say it makes me want to buy logitech again.

Howso? Always interesting to hear of the bad as well as the good.

Personally I have never had anything other than a more than positive experience.
 
Good to see so many people having a great experience with their CS.

However, as others have said in the thread, it does also seem to point to their QC perhaps not being quite as top notch as it could be, specially seeing as most people seem to have the same problems.

Does make you wonder slightly if their business model includes lower QC and better CS.

Still things like mice really are high usage items so they are more likely to break. Either way it's still good to see a large corporation instigating genuinely good CS (for most) and proves that it can be done!
 
Good support = sending out replacements willy nilly? Doesn't sound like a good business model to me.

I'm saying perhaps someone has costed the difference between say a reduction in failure rates due to higher QC and how much it costs to actually just send out a replacement of a mass produced item, and they have discovered its either a better or equally good business model. Plus it has the benefit of giving people a good opinion of the company.

However I may just be being cynical and my OP still stands that I am glad there is a company out there practising such a CS model.
 
Well, as promised, a DHL delivery guy showed up this morning with my new receiver.

Just plugged it in and connected it all up and touch wood, so far everything is back to how it was when the mouse was new :)
 
Guys,

I bought an MX Revolution from a known competitor about 9 months or so ago now (Sorry OcUK, mouse died and I needed replacement STAT!)

Essentially I've noticed that my receiver seems to be buckling a fair bit now. It's especially noticeable when I play games, it skips from time to time and get stuck until I flick the mouse. The USB Receiver is on the end of a USB-Extension cable and sits about 6 inches from my mouse mat. The mouse is always 2/3 bars charged.

Should I just phone them or contact their UK support to speak about getting a replacement? Has anyone got a direct link to said support? I've found the USA one but not sure if it covers UK?

Scratch the last bit, found the contact form for UK.

Has anyone had a similar problem with this mouse + receiver getting a bit weak? Was it the mouse or receiver out of interest that was the problem?

Well as per my OP, your symptoms are identical to mine.

They sent me a new receiver and in the few minutes I played around this morning, it seemed to be back to normal again with the receiver in a USB port in the back of my PC.

My mouse was out of warranty, chances are they will just send you a new mouse unless you specifically ask for a new receiver.
