Hi guys,
One of my objectives in early 2015 is to collate any experiences and observations from the community in regards to O2's customer service. It comes in many forms in any large company such as O2, so I'll create a thread for a number of ways to contact us.
Today, we start with customer experiences in shops. How do you find the service you receive in store? What works well? What would you improve if you had the chance?
We'll also create threads on Live chat, ringing O2 and social media. I cant wait to hear from you all
Get involved:
• New to the community? This is how you get help.
• Want to know who we are? Come and say hi to us.
• Want to have a chat? Drop me a direct message.

I don't needto visit a store that often, the last time was a couple of years ago when a fault developed with my SIM card. This was a branch in Victoria, London. Again the staff were really good, identified the problem quickly and in a very short time I walked out with a new sim.

I have spoken about this in porevious thread, buit would like to make it offica here since data is beeing collected.
My experience with the Stratford Mall London 02 Store on Tuesday 24.02.15 is that
1.I found out that the sales assistant didnt advise me adequatly about the phone that would best suite my needs. I found after on line that there was other model available. She acknowledge that I could have the other model when I went to the store again on Saturday 28.03.15.
2. She also said that that another model is £28 while on line it says £15 monthly. She did not point out that there are better deals on line if this is the case.
- She gave me wrong information on my contract when I asked her to go over it due tyo my dislexia.I find difficult foloowing long winded psaparework I am not already familiar to. She didn’t tell me that I could not change my contrat in the 14 days periode when I can change the phone. On the Saturday 28.03.15 she said that she did not give me that information because she "didnt think that (I) will be echanging it".
4. She dismissed my wish for a black hanset despite my repeating myself SEVERAL times, and was actually processing a white hanset I did not want, telling me "well, we only have it in white!" dismissivelly.
5. I asked her if a black hanset could be ordered or reserved for me, she again dismissed me, saying "we will definitly have it" despite the fact that they did NOT have it on the TWO occassions I went there. I had more so informed her that I am dissabled, which is alos evident by the way I walk and the use of a walking stick. I informed her that I was trying to avoid unecessary trips. She was also aware that there was only a short time during which to make the change.
I have had many very satisfactory experience previously with 02. Never had I had I met a staff that was throughout unreliable! I had to insist for a hanset to be orderedd or reserved for me for today. The rest is yet to be seen.

That seems like a bit too much of a difference in price and imo is a confusion over the refresh tariff.
Although, that should have been addressed by the salesperson.

I've had reason to visit two o2 shops in the past fortnight, to resolve a few issues, I am a long standing o2 customer. The experience I had at Keighley left me cold. The "guru" was pretty rude to be honest. A week later I called into the o2 shop in Bridgend Town (not the one on the outskirts). A young guy there was fantastic, polite & genuinly helpful, totally oppposite to the guy in Keighley.

It's so surprising how two stores can differ so much.
