I can't believe this.


I have had a Tascam recorder in for warranty repair since October. They claim they are backlogged and have no idea when they can look at it. They claim they are still trying to fix equipment that came in last summer.

But here is the thing that grinds me. They want, " I think they may be able to do a priority service for you, however as I mentioned, most of our service centers that do provide priority service have a fee for it".

This seems like bribery to me.

The Dealer, Sweetwater has said they will provide a refund. (I’m not sure if it would be 100% or store credit) I haven’t got that far yet ...

Good for you for involving your dealer and kudos to the folks at Sweetwater for doing the right thing.

... no replacement units are available ...

I'm sorry to hear that. It increasingly looks like TEAC is beginning to have "issues."

I am sorry for this on-going saga, but I think Audiogon users need to be aware that Tascam does not provide any type of repair services for equipment under warranty.

I was pretty much just told off and then they hung up from the Tascam Service Rep and the Customer service.

The Customer Service says there is nothing that can be done. TAP, the service repair arm of Tascam products says it will be months before they can even look at the unit. And he told me to stop writing and calling.

I have asked for the unit to be returned to me as-is. So, we’ll see when that happens.

Does anyone know a number, email, contact for TEAC or Tascam management that can intervein? Or at least someone within their organization that cares?

So far all I have is the website contact info page that gets me back to the same people.

Man, I am stressed out over this...

Hang in there. Thank You for posting your Tascam experience.

 

Happy Holidays!

I think you should give up on Teac and move on its obviously junk and they won't repair it or honor their guarantee to you.

So today the TAP rep calls and says, "if you leave it here for a couple more weeks maybe I can get to it."

Mind you this is after he yelled and hung up on me a day earlier. As much as I would like this recorder repaired, I said, " no, I am tired of dealing with you, please send the unit back".

So, wonder when I’ll get it back?
