Dealing with Reverb Support is frustrating

Thanks. I thought I did see a phone number on one of the pages, and a listing of open hours. Hmm. I’ll have to be patient, then, as the chat seems down. Or it went through and im waiting to hear back.

There is a number (888) 726-2728 but when you call it tells you to go to the website and hangs up.

Once the Bot routes you to a person, they will chat with you real-time. If you didn’t get that far most likely you’ll never hear back from anyone.

Man, what a pain in the ass. Those guys need some serious competition, like some outfit with actual customer service. And a phone a human actually answers.

Sweetwater just started a used gear site, iirc.

They did. Now I just hope people use it enough that it thrives.

Still can’t get through to Reverb and this is day 6. I’ve said something to them on Twitter… sigh.

Edit lol on Twitter they gave me a link that went right back to the failing chat window…

Man that is horrible!
Is the chat functionality just not working for you? Have you tried a different browser or device?

Yes. I get to the end “1-2 sentences” and it just sits there, occasionally saying it disconnected. I messaged again and it said “We’re still waiting for the agent. I’ll pass your message along when they connect.” and hasn’t disconnected again, at least. What a shitty experience, I literally have to leave this browser window open while waiting

You can try emailing them at support@reverb.com and see if they respond that way.

Man, what a shitshow.

So sorry you’re going through this, @Koldunya.

Make sure to turn off any browser extensions like adblocker. I had a few experiences that a site didn’t work properly because of an extension.

I would be pretty mad if I had to make a Twitter account and publicly shame them to get their CSRs to pay attention to me.

On the NYC Metro North train system. Posting to there twitter gets results! I had a big issue with a shipping company on some patio furniture and the issue was resolved in hours (after 2 months!) via some targeted messages to CE fill in the blanks on linked in.

Corporations are scared shitless of social media interactions. It’s a good technique.

Yeah, I’m sure it works - it’s just that the fact that you have to is pathetic.

I just find in general whether it’s FedEx or airlines, Reverb or whoever, Twitter feeds are manned 24/7 and are the most responsive.

Amazon Help stalks Twitter for any mentions of Amazon. It’s kinda creepy to have them respond when I don’t @Amazon directly…


In other news… “No problem! A specialist from our support staff should be reaching out to you directly via email to make sure this is resolved asap!”

An hour+ later and still nothing XD

Are you posting pictures of the damage when you ask for help? That might get them motivated. Or not, but a thought
