Native Instruments - Support?

Post by Bob Bickerton »

Don't like to whinge but I ordered a S61 keyboard from their online shop almost two weeks ago and it's still showing 'Under Review' (payment has been processed). I've emailed their support twice to get a status on delivery but no replies to date.

Anyone else had dealings with them? Not quite sure what to expect here, but the silence is deafening..........

Have you tried Twitter? Normally a much faster way of getting a reply from a company than normal service channels.

IME, email can always get diverted to junk folders by the email service, often for no apparent reason, so it may be slow service, or it may be they haven’t seen them.

Reliably fallible.

Twitter? Yes I’ve heard about that……..

I used their support form to generate a ticket so I’d imagine that would have gone through.

Email and support departments never get the company attention that the advertising and PR departments do.

Problems aired publicly on companies’ social media tend to get dealt with within hours, if not sooner. You’ve gone through the proper channels, they haven’t responded, so let them know.

Just to report back NI obviously we’re having some communication issues with their shop and support tickets. The second attempt got through and the response has been exemplary. Happy camper here…….

I have in the past extolled the virtues of the NI KA6 interface and although I don't have the Mk2 I am sure the new model is just as good (should have kept Cubase though IMHO)

However, contacting NI was always a hassle. I had a query after about a year of operation and could not find my registration details* and without those, NO talky-talky!

MOTU on the other hand are happy to respond to a bog standard email and very PDQ to boot.

*Just a thought? If yer HAF have that why not make it the unique serial number on the device? Can't really lose that!

Dave.
