Nice product / poor service Was very happy with my Archos 3VC mp3/mp4 player, good sound, nice features (built-in camera), until one day, I found the device had a cracked screen (cracked from the inside). Normal use and normal transportation (hey, where else would you keep an mp3 player? inside my vest pocket, right?). Brought it to repair... but no communication possible whatsoever. They simply do not believe me, that I did not drop the device nor punctured it... Would cost me 56 EUR to repair the screen. That is unacceptable! I feel mistrusted as a consumer! So, too bad... from now on, I consider buying a Sony instead! At least they included the LCD touchscreen as part of their standard warranty. At least they value their customers' trust.

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!

Less than a 1 star battery won't charge… Less than a 1 star battery won't charge I got it less than a month ago and can't return it to Asda even tho got a receipt £50 down the drain what a joke and cameras terrible and not much memory either can get a phone cheaper that's better don't bother with this phone waste of money 😠😢

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.

Well done Archos, excellent customer service. My phone stopped charging after 15 months which was within the two year warranty period and had to be sent from the UK to France. I was quite worried after reading the negative reviews on this site but I had absolutely no problems. The man in the call centre took my details and emailed me full instructions on how to return the phone. It took exactly two weeks for my replacement phone to arrive, it was upgraded to a newer model and I was kept fully informed every step of the way.
