Google store experience while buying pixel is rubbish Google consumer support is absolute crap. I had placed an order for pixel 8 pro and traded in my iPhone. I received an email saying PCS got my phone for inspection. After 3 days my phone was delivered. I deleted the payment profile as it was displaying as my main profile. And one week later I receive an email saying my trade in has been cancelled with no reason mentioned. I reach out the customer support and they tell me it's because I deleted the payment profile my order history has been erased. Hence my trade in has been cancelled. Absolutely ridiculous how can an order history be deleted. Now it's a nightmare for me I need to return this phone get my old phone back. The whole shenanigan for something so stupid. There was no email warning this, this cannot even be undone. They have the payment details but it's not enough for them. Absolute rubbish customer service.

Google watch 2 not delivered Orderd a Google watch 2 WiFi. DPD the courier sent a text saying that the watch was on its way but then changed to status to “on its way back to Google”. I raised a case with Google support. After supplying screen prints of the tracking status and texts to Google I was told that after an extensive review by their escalation team (2 days) they told me it was delivered. I informed them it was not and could they provide information of proof of delivery. I then got a message saying that their decision was final and that I was not entitled to a refund or a replacement. I again went back to them and asked if they had read any of the proof I sent to them saying it was on its way back to Google. I then received an email telling me I could take legal recourse and to have a nice day. Unbelievable! I have written to the MD of Google retail and FMCG as there is no way you can escalate the case with Google support. I feel that Google has swindled me out of £300 plus told me if I don’t like it to take them to court. Never order from this company. Their customer support is appalling and you cannot find anyone with any authority to speak to. Senior execs at Google do not give a care about their customers.

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.

Purchased a Google Nest thermostat and… Purchased a Google Nest thermostat and took the option for installation as well. Unfortunately, Google / FedEx botched the shipment and now I have to deal with 3 parties. Google won't talk to me until I speak with FedEx (who of course waste time and only when pressed admit they can't find the package). So, 30 minutes there, then reschedule the appointment for the installation, presuming Google would overnight the item. Then, on with Google....only chat available.....and they won't expedite at all....their scripts only use vague terms and won't commit to anything. When you attempt to escalate, you will only receive, they'll contact you in 24-48 hours....by email. Truly better to buy elsewhere.

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!
