Phone dead after 3 months, no customer service Update: After two years I think I can safely say their customer service doesn't exist and you won't see your money back. At least I have never heard back from them. Just over 3 months after purchase, my phone stopped working completely. I have been trying to contact their support team for over 3 weeks now - requests via the website, message on FB, tried their phone numbers in various countries. I'm starting to believe their after sales service simply doesn't exist and the money spent on my phone has been a total loss. Avoid this company at all costs!

Archos 5 I purchased an archos 5 a while back, and had not used long before it started having problems downloading or playing anything, so I called customer service and was instructed to ship it back for service as it was still under warranty. After about almost 2 months and a lot of back and forth they shipped it back by UPS and was being asked to pay over $100 dollars in some BS Fee by UPS which I rejected and had Archos ship it back to me without UPS asking for this rediculous fee. I received about 2 weeks later, but it was not the one I sent in for service but a used one with scratches and not surprising but it was also faulty. I managed to do some fancy footwork and managed to return it to the store I purchased it at, and never bothered again with an archos product. Bad products and even worst customer service. Using a different email so I am not bothered by Archos.

Never again. Never again. We bought an Archos Tablet in a store. @home we saw there was a problem with the sound & charging took us more than 10 hours each time. The store didn't return or give us a new tablet (conflict between archos & store) so we had to contact Archos ourself and do the return procedure ourself (which is unacceptable). After we send the tablet only message we got was that the tablet was received by Archos & that it will be replaced. Than 2 weeks no notification. Calling support the only thing we got as an answer is that it was out of stock. No idea when it will get back into stock. After several calls & several mails(which they do not answer) & again another week later they said they will give us another model. First they proposed a model which was lower priced and even not delivered in stores anymore. Than they proposed another tablet which was even of a lower value (although we asked that it should be at least the same value). I had to send a mail myself to get this tablet if I wanted it to be send but sending mails to them... they do not respond. Now 3 weeks later still no tablet... sending mails to management or rma or support not answered... on the call center they say they can't do anything... I have to write a mail. This company doesn't do anything to keep customer happy. When you have bought something which needs to fixed or replaced than you have a big problem.

Very bad customer service Very bad customer service. Issues with my phone since August. Still waiting for manager to contact me. Regret making a purchase from Archos.

Sent a faulty replacement product - not replacing it because it's no longer warranted! Got the ARCHOS 80 XS - 8 GB in Jan 2013 for my partner as a present. To cut the story short, hardly used it, started using it more in October 2013, difficulty in charging it, turned out the usb port on the tablet was faulty so sent it back for a replacement. Sent it back at the end of Nov and didn't get a new one until Jan 2014. Conveniently after my warranty period. The new tablet got a dot on the screen and my partner noticed very light scratch marks on the back. They wanted pictures, I provided them with it and not heard anything for 10 days. Just emailed them this morning asking for an update, got a reply in French so had to use google translate - 'The device for which you are requesting information is no longer under warranty / marketed by ARCHOS.' I got that reply straight away and replied back demanding an answer - Guess What??? No reply. I would not bother to get an ARCHOS tablet but if you do make sure you use your credit card. I now have to try using Section 75. Basically, poor customer service and product.
