Why does HP Hewlitt Packard take over 2 months to fix and return a laptop?

I sent my laptop in over 2 months ago to have the motherboard replaced after it stopped working for no apparent reason. I owned the laptop for 3 months, pay for wireless internet (going on 3 months paying for the internet with no computer now), and it just stopped working out of the blue. When I call to find out how much longer it will be I get some old lady in India who cannot speak english and who attempts to read responses written in English on cue cards. They have no idea why it takes so long, they have no idea what is wrong with the computer. I have been told they need to order parts which will take up to two weeks, i have been told this a total of 5 times now. DO NOT BUY HEWLITT PACKARD AS THIS IS THE TYPE OF SERVICE YOU WILL GET FROM THEM. They have been 100% useless as far as offering any form of help, they make no attempt to understand or do anything about your frustration, they make no attempt to fix the problem. DO NOT USE HEWLITT PACKARD FOR ANYTHING!!!

Kind of reminds me of my answer to your illegal immigrant question and all the jobs going overseas. I can’t even call my LOCAL bank without getting my call routed to southeast India with people who not only don’t speak English and read from cue cards, but their accent to their bad English is so bad, I don’t even recognize it as English and when I ask to speak to someone who speaks English their response is “I speaka Inglese”. Then I ask to speak to an American, and they put me thru to a Spanish speaking person (our new number one language). I have never liked HP anything, and as for your question ‘How long does it take?’ Ask the wise old owl on the old tootsie roll commercials. . . one, two, three. . . we may never know how many it takes. . . no one is patient enough to really find out without just giving up!
