WARNING: Funai Corp PROBLEM

Mar 17, 2008 3 Replies

Hi,



It is almost a month and I still have not received the service manual for which I paid $32.00 ($7.00 for shipping). Funai will not reply to my fax(s) or emails. They do not have a published telephone number, as far as I know, that I can call.



My next step is to file complaints with the U.S. Attorney, BBB, and other agencies that handle such matters.



Also, I will stop servicing anything made by Funai, and I recommend that everyone else does the same.



Brad

I've had USPS lose a package containing $80 worth of SDRAM PC memory,and they had a tracking number and claimed it had been delivered. I receive my mail at a kiosk and packages usually get put in special large bins and the key in my usual mailbox.USPS even had the nerve to claim I was trying to scam them.Then they lost my payment for electric service,so I got charged a late fee for that.

Why bother to get a Funai service manual in the first place? The brand is a joke, it's the bottom of the barrel, crap of the crap, I wouldn't even try to repair something from them unless the fault was trivial.

Hi,

I called a toll free number (1-800-256-2487) I found at Funai's web site, which I didn't think would help because I am a service tech, but to my surprise, I was connected to someone at the parts department!!

After explaining my ordeal, I received the service manual via overnight Fed Ex !!!!
