My DJI Osmo Mobile 2 stopped charging. I decided that I would go through the process of seeing if it could be repaired. I spoke to customer service and they provided me the instructions on how to send it back. They received my Osmo within a week and they notified me it was being looked at for repair. About a week later I received a quote for the repair which is $83 USD and it was nearly the cost of a new DJI OM4 $130 USD. $47 USD difference. Which, I thought they mentioned they would replace it with a product that's new or equivalent to new in the repair instructions below.
"Dear Customer, After carrying out the damage assessment, we found that, as your product is out of warranty, we will provide a paid repair service to you. We will either repair it or replace it with a product that’s new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability after payment has been received. For more information, please visit (http://www.dji.com/service/policy) - DJI North America"
Great I thought why not get a new Osmo, I was looking at the DJI OM4...
The first thing I tried to do is follow up on this repair case, this is when I started to realize there were issues with customer service. I couldn't respond to the repair case to speak to this department, I contacted customer service who kept telling me this ticket is with another department I would need to contact them. So I asked, "Can you give me their contact information so I can contact them?" I then started to get the run around ie "just respond to the email they sent you" it was a "DJI Support <notification@dji.com> email address which would bounce back, which I had to explain to them. Then they said while I was on the phone with them "you will have to contact customer service" I said I just did, I am speaking to you. Then they said they will update the ticket and someone will get back to me. I still have not hard back from this department. I did ask for a manager to call me who called from a strange number so I did not answer it. They left a message trying to explain the issue and they did not even know the situation talking about I would need to send my OM4 in for repair and they can have a technician look at it and send me out a quote for repair. I was like WOW you did not read the ticket/case and do not know what is going on.
This is customer support issue started on June 21st, 2021, it is now July 5th, 2021 going on week 3. This case has cost DJI at a rough estimate:
30 min phone call daily Monday to Friday x 10 days of calling would equal about 300 mins. (60 mins in an hour / 300 mins = 5 hours roughly)
$15 per hour for a customer service person x 5 hours = $75
Repair technicians and other departments who have touched my cause let's estimate 3 hours at $20 per hour = $60
= $135 USD so far and this is a low estimated cost to the business.
As you can see up to this point it has cost the company the price of a DJI OM4 up to this point just to provide me support. This means their customer service process appears to not be profitable for DJI. This should have been a week to two weeks turn around mostly automated.
1) Send in my Osmo Mobile 2 for repair
2) They review it and provide me a status update either fix it at $83 or we can replace it. Contact us and let us know what you would like to do.
3) Contact them and tell them my decision
4) They either repair or send me out a new Osmo
5) case closed
Here is the thing that really bothers me. I told them I would pay for the OM 4 just send me the quote and instructions on how I can pay for it. This should have been pretty easy.
I was reading through all the reviews while I was going through this and their experiences are real. The DJI doesn't seem to realize how bad their customer service is for the business and over the years do not appear to be improving the KPI's that matter
1) Customer service deliverables
2) Processes that are streamlined and repeatable
3) The customer service/repair flow of information and SLA
4) Easy payment process through the repair cycle for new replacement devices vs the repair itself.
I am so disappointed with DJI and how they have handled my case. I assumed they cared about their customers and this would have been an easy case for both of us... which has not been the case.
