Well said and sadly very true. Hazel On 02/01/2015 20:01, Mike Ray wrote:
I think what is happening is a general increase in a misguided corporate mentality. Such bodies as the RNIB seem to be increasingly run by suits that have little or no connection or empathy for the customer-base. Managers who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

The problem used to be one of good intentioned amateurism and cock ups but something more serious seems to be happening now. I know that they are operating in a difficult environment but the basics seem to be going out of the window. I do not know if this is restructuring or or a failure of leadership. For myself apart from the Overdrive shambles I have had to make 2 formal complaints in respect of a product return in the last 6 weeks and I am still no clearer as to when I will get my product replaced/repaired. A third complaint in respect of the same issue will have to go in this week which is very tiresome. The inability of the RNIB to respond even to formal complaints in respect of service failure is particularly concerning.At least you got what seems a sensible supervisor to contactyou so i hope there is a positive outcome for you at least.

I wanted to buy the BT 4500 cordless phone withanswerphone but wastold they don't provide any audio instructions. If I want these I have to call BT. It is my choice when setting anything up to follow byaudio instructionsso why sell this when the majority of their customers arevisually impaired.I have requested a call from one of the supervisers andwonder whatexcuse they will come up with. Needless to say I did not buy the product.
