BD's Poor Service

After reading David Galbraith response to Jaroslav about BD service, I
thought I should add my experience with BD to the list. We also paid a
premium price for our FACVantage with Turbo Sort, but the response time
when calling BD service has been terrible. I have never been able to talk
to an expert from the customer support center on my initial call. They are
always busy and I usually wait anywhere from 1 to 2.5 hours. Once it is
determined that a field service engineer is required, I then have to wait
for his call, so that an appointment can be made for a site visit. 48hrs
wait for a visit is the norm but has been longer. Don't get me wrong. The
people I deal with have been great. They are knowledgeable, and very
helpful. It is the system that is failing BD customers.

Maybe I was spoiled,I have been a Coulter Canada customer for many years.
