Ordering through the Google Store… Ordering through the Google Store presented some challenges. In preparation to purchase our Pixel 8 phones, my husband and I were informed that the items were in stock and available for in-store pick up upon online payment. To avoid any potential shipping issues, we planned to personally pick up the phones, even though it meant a four-hour drive plus associated costs. When we inquired about the availability of colors at the Brooklyn, NY store, we encountered difficulty due to the lack of a contact number and unhelpful customer service. Ultimately, we decided to ship the phones instead. Despite some delays in the shipping process, my husband's phone eventually shipped but mine continued to be postponed. This led to my decision to cancel the order and make the purchase through Amazon.

What should have been a simple order I ordered a replacement Chromecast remote on Mar. 15. It never came. I checked the provided tracking number and it shows “Awaiting Carrier Pickup” on Google’s side and the number doesn’t exist on the UPS side. Google refuses to acknowledge that the remote never shipped and refuses to ship another one. They won’t let me speak to a supervisor. They want me to consent to providing ALL of my Google account history to investigate the issue. I told them no. They won’t refund my money. So, I disputed the charge with my credit card company. Really, what the heck Google!?! UPDATE: Apr. 11 Never heard from a supervisor. Google Store still shows "Pending Carrier Pickup" and has failed on all aspects. The quit emailing their canned response when I stated that they should all be fired for being inept at customer service. Credit card refunded money and is waiting on Google Store's response. Even if Google responds, my credit card has assured me that I will win this case.

Nest Thermostat VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! not even in this country!!!! don't buy from these people... if I had bought it on Amazon I would have had it a day or two after I ordered it!!! if it had gone missing they would have replaced it or refunded immediately... this has been over 10days with Google store!!!! Fedex was the problem they said.... NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Shocking customer care Shocking customer care! Ordered two Pixel 7a phones and cases, delivered by DPD. The courier photographed me taking the parcel but I immediately realized it was totally empty and showed the courier. Google Store say they have evidence the parcel was successfully delivered, won't initiate an investigation with DPD and say the matter is closed. DPD say they can see the box was damaged but Google Store has to initiate a contact for them to begin investigating. After several on line chats and emails (NO opportunity to speak to anyone) Google Store has taken £717.98 out of our account and now won't respond to our emails. DO NOT buy anything from here!

Kafkaesque customer service Chatting or emailing with their customer service is like talking to the dumbest AI ever.
