It really isn't a question of patience at this point. I've been on the phone trying to get a refund issued for over 3 hours. I'm not upset about the delay. These things happen, I get that. I'm upset and frustrated with Sony's support, or lack thereof. I purchased a hard copy because I was told I would be issued a refund, only the call got disconnected after 1 and half hours. When I called back, disconnected again. I'm now on hold for 1 hour and 8 minutes waiting to speak to another supervisor. The 1st rep I spoke with could have updated my account reflecting our conversation and the authorization to refund my $$, however he didn't do that, so now I'm in the same situation again. The reps are rude and obnoxious, despite my attempts to be polite and professional with them.
And now after waiting over 40 minutes to contact chat support, I was just met with a message stating: "We are sorry, there are not reps available for chat at the moment"
Unbelievable.
Finally got through to a supervisor and within 30 seconds, had an email sent for full refund back to my cc card. Why that was so difficult was beyond me.
