Dear Peter,

for about 24 hours by now I am trying to place an order for the $99 DVD update from BIAB 2009.5 to 2010. The whole process is an utter nightmare: provided phone numbers do not work from here (Europe, Germany), the PG Live Chat is dead as a dodo, my mail to sales@pgmusic.com does not get answered (yes, I considered the timeshift).

I just wonder what that's all about? DVDs are the best upgrade option for me. I do not want another usb hard drive lying around. I run BIAB on a small 12.1" notebook and for mobility reasons do not need any peripherals connected to it.

Why is customer support so poor? Why can't I place an order? Why does nobody respond? Why is the whole process made so difficult and murky? On purpose, because PG wants customers to buy the HDs? Well if that's the case: I will not get any HD because they do not fit my needs! (Just to put things straight.)

In a few minutes I'll jump on a train and will not be back before January. Therefore I will not be able to place an order anymore for I'll have no internet access during that time. So even I've tried on 3 different channels (phone, chat, mail) I could not get the DVD option because pgmusic does not communicate. You might imagine what I am thinking now of pgmusic and the way they handle customer relations.

Apart from that I wish everyone a merry christmas an a happy new year (with or without BIAB 2010).

Best,

Septolus

Quick update before I really've got to leave:

Got a working phone number from pg (thanks Jareth@pg).

Now take a breath: At the phone I was told that they have got no information of a 99$ DVD-Upgrade, the only thing they have got on offer is the 139$ USB-HD. So it is impossible to order via phone, there is no download option and no online store for it.

What is that supposed to be? Common PG, don't mess around with us!

Hello Septolus,

Yes, you're right there is a DVD option - we'll try contacting you. Or, you could give us another call. There is an international toll-free number if freephone service is available in your area: + 800-4746-8742 (access code from Germany - 00)

A little off topic, but I'd like to say that I just had great service from the team.
I bought 2009.5 localy. (I happen to live in Victoria.) When I went to register it, I saw that 2010 had come out. I contacted PGMusic via email and received a message the next day. Jareth answered the questions I had regarding upgrading to 2010. When I asked about updating to the Mega Pac, I also got a fast reply. After a couple more emails, the upgrade was in the works. I was advised to call to confirm my address, as the team was receiving quite a few emails lately. I phoned this morning and was able to upgrade everything within about 10 minutes.
i will be able to pick up my new package on Monday (my first available day off), and will have a much better system than what I had intended to purchase at slightly less than what I expected to pay. Thanks Team PG.
Sorry for going off topic Septolus. I was really happy with the service I received and thought it would be fair to see a counterpoint. Hopefully everything gets fixed up for you.
Scotty


It's better to keep quiet and appear stupid, rather than speak and remove all doubt.
