GBExtremely frustrating experience 1) Horrible overseas customer service. The people on the phone are robots reading off a script, rather than people who think through problems. Every single time I called it was like nails on a chalk board, trying to understand their English and dealing with the pre-written scripts. 2) The overseas escalation team refused to interpret my contract correctly when it came to my roof add-on option. I argued over the phone for over an hour. We finally had to spend $200 on online tools to get the company executives' (state-side) contact information, who finally correctly (but rudely in the end) dealt with the problem correctly. 3) Even after we had in writing the amount they were contractually obligated to pay for our roof, it took 3 months for my roof contractor to get paid. The process seemed smoother for appliance contractors, but my roofer was used to dealing with normal home insurance, and being uninitiated, and he had to be on the phone for hours talking to customer service to even get transferred to the correct number for the contractor portal. He was also treated rudely by the executive we had to contact, like he was stupid for not knowing their twisted "process". 4) I was unable to cancel my contract online but had to spend time on the phone jumping through more awful customer service hoops just to cancel my contract. THEN, even though I was in the middle of a contract month and had just paid my premium two weeks prior, they wanted to charge me an extra month as a cancellation charge. They offered two free months to keep me as a customer, provided I return to automatic renewal (fat chance!). I've been offered one month free premium in the past because of a billing issue and they didn't keep their word, so I turned down their free months and get out of there! 5) It took them at least a month in the first place to be able to find a roofing contractor that would even work with them.

GBTimely and professional service Timely response to service request. Kept us informed of the process, from connecting us with a provider, verifying appointment date/time, and to reminding us night before and morning of appointment. Service tech was on-time, efficient in solving the issue, and courteous. A huge time saver from doing all the research ourselves.

GBFalse advertising. Cannot cancel any time. Tried to cancel my plan on a Sunday morning. Called the service line asking to cancel but being told that the Member Services team who processes cancellations only works M-F 8a to 5p. I asked if anyone currently working has the authority to cancel my plan and they claimed they do not. Then I asked for a call record number to document my interaction and they said they cannot share that number. So I can't cancel any time, only during business hours, and I don't have the right to know my call/ticket ID.

GBCustomer Service Issues I have several accounts with Home Shield, at this point I have multiple issues. There is no escalation process in order to talk to a manager, there is no interdepartamental communications between them, and they do not commit to there warranty and will essientially lie. I was trying to set up A/C tune ups which are free with the Platnium Plan and was told that I needed to talk to sales because they were not included. Talk to Sales and they stated it is and they transferred me to Service. Service then says it is no longer available, I informed him that I have an email stating it was extended. He then stated that service is no longer offered in Nevada. It is frusting dealing with service when there is an issue.

GBPrompt professional and helpful When ever I need a repair done they are fast to assign a tradesman and supply the work order and company number. I call and usually get the repairman next day or two.
