Gotta get this off my chest. Ordered SL 3.0 upgrade back in early January directly from the steinberg website. Six weeks goes by nothing. Call them up to find out that that although I bought it from their website they have outsourced the distribution to a company called digital river that only responds to email and if they didn't do it right it isn't their fault. :x So ok, I email digital river and they say that its out of stock, funny since I ordered directly from the company that makes the product to avoid this. :? So they tell me to wait and I send more emails a week or two later and no response. Call up steinberg to trying to redirect me back to digital river and I complain that they should handle the order directly which they finally agree to do. Two weeks and a half weeks later nothing.No updates, no email, nothing. So I call up and they try to defer me to key fax their NEW distributor forgeting their promise to take care of this weeks earlier. After much arguing the sales man tries to tell me that this is not their fault, because they can be expected to have control over the shipping of their own product. Finally He says that it will be going into the mail today and that keyfax will send me an email to document this. Why don't companies take responibility for their own product instead of putting it all on the consumer? Is this really my responisbility? I won't buy another steinberg product with service like this.

God said that? Wow.

I guess He really is all-knowing.

That does suck. A sign of really poor customer service is any company that will not serve as their customer's advocate when dealing with the company's partners. Your relationship is with Steinberg, not with any distributor.

I used to work at a telecommunications company that resold the services of other phone companies. I think I would have been fired if I had told a customer sorry but your problem is with the other company.

We had a hell of a time getting Nuendo 3 here in Vancouver. We waited for months after the official release date for word of its availability from Steinberg Canada (who insist you buy from them, lest you will get no support!?!), then we waiting two more months for the product to get here...from Toronto! Yeesh. I find it hard to believe that a company as experienced as Steinberg can't synchronize their releases a bit better!

We did get friendly service, though; with the Steinberg rep calling me directly to keep me posted - so I can't complain there. I don't think a third-party was involved at any point, but I'm not sure. Still: when we ordered Sonar updates, those suckers were Fed-exed in 3 days.

You should perhaps contact the better business bureau, I'm pretty sure your consumer rights have been stepped on or at least neglected here. I love Steinberg's products...but come on!

Geezus! I can't believe that companies have so little responsibility that they don't even respond to requests for their own product!

Don't blame me, my names only on the package!

Post

it's not irresponsibility but lack of repect towards customers IMO.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM: its ******* software! jesus! I can have myself a cracked copy of cubase sx3 my tomorrow morning if I wanted it. But they are giving you the run around trying to spend hundreds of dollars on something that they simply have to "copy" jesus, that is riduculous service, its almost like they are a hardware company that is ridiculously behind the times, however steinberg has been making software for ages....get with the program assess.

Post

I don't agree it's "******software"...

******* service, yeah.

Post

hahha, NOO the software is amazing, cubase is excellant, great product, i was just exclaiming that it was software, and how ridicukous it is to have a shortage of product to send you

consider the source. If you are will to keep paying money to that kind of company, why should they care?

Did you get your dongle yet? They don't always work either.....plus they are an insult

"what's the reason that software is so expensive?"

"Why, it's becuase people are stealing it"

"oh"

That's funny, you charge for a dongle (which should be as illegal) and then you still charge an overprice?

Overpriced software,
Zero service,
Dongle so you can be a sucker,
But it's great software?

It doesn't add up........it makes no sense. If you stopped supporting shit companies.......there would be no shit companies.

Ok, I'm ready to take my bullets........

I assume that you ordered by credit card? If so, phone the cc company and tell them that you want a cash back for non-delivery of goods. 10 weeks is more than enough time for them to deliver.

You could then order through a store or
online music store such as audio-midi.com or take your money and buy something else besides cubase.
