Da ich seit Wochen versuche eine Kopie meiner AppleWatch 4 Rechnung zu bekommen, dies aber über die normalen Wege bisher unmöglich war, habe ich letzten Monat eine email an Tim Cook geschrieben, in der Hoffnung dass mir geholfen wird.
Nein, es gibt in den Philippinen keinen offiziellen Apple Store, alles was hier gekauft wird, wird zumeist aus Singapur oder Hongkong importiert.
Ja, ich weiß es ist Weihnachten und es wird nicht so gearbeitet wie sonst, aber inzwischen sind 6 Tage verstrichen und ich habe auf meine email nicht einmal eine Eingangsbestätigung bekommen!
Daher poste ich meinen Brief jetzt hier öffentlich, und auch in anderen Apple Foren.
Persönliche Daten habe ich "geschwärzt".

Bis heute 29.12.2019, 09:36 Uhr philippinischer Zeit ist nichtmal eine Eingangsbestätigung gekommen.

Dear Mr. Cook, dear Mr. WiIlliams,
I have to write to you directly because my customer service problem seems to be too difficult that even 2 Apple Senior Advisors weren't able to help me yet.
You might ask what can be that difficult, so I tell you that I somehow lost the original invoice of my Apple Watch 4 and I just ask for a copy to send to me by email.
When I thought about getting me the AppleWatch4 I checked prices and found that I get the best price when I buy directly with Apple USA.
So I bought my watch online on January 5 and paid 467,07 US$ with my VISA card.
Serial no. of my watch is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Because Apple only delivers within USA I used a forwarding company to get the watch to the philippines where I reside.
Now you might object that this is not the official way, then yes, but it's not different from people buying gadgets in the USA during holidays and flying back to their home country.
As now the battery of my Watch starts to drain, I need to bring it to an authorized repair center here in Cebu, and for that I need my invoice.
When I noticed that I must have lost it I tried to look it up online, but to my surprise I also don't see that invoice when I login with my AppleID.
That might be something to evaluate further in upcoming emails but for now it's not the point.
Because I didn't see my invoice online I tried to contact the Apple Hardware Store in the USA, but unfortunately I have no way to directly email them, the way I prefer to use.
The Apple US Store offers a 1-800 number that I cannot call by cellphone from the philippines.
So I tried the philippine hotline number which is also a 1-800 but only to hear "The number you've tried to call has already been disconnected".
So I chatted with Apple service, but unfortunately I only end up with Agents outside the USA and unable to help me.
I'm now at a point after weeks of trying that I had emailed with 2 Apple Senior Advisors, one in Singapore and another in Australia.
I told them both my story and they both could see my data, but were unable to help me.
They told me that only the Store in USA can help me but I also told them that I cannot reach the store by cellphone.
So we were stuck.
Then, when I asked them why they can't just transfer my tickt to the guys in USA, they only answered that they have no way to do that!
That really left me shocked as simple email from one department to another really is the simplest and easiest way of internal communication in any company worldwide!
And they just told me that that process isn't available or allowed at Apple.
Thats why I have no other way tan to ask Mr. Williams as Apples longterm COO, why a Senior Advisor is unable to help a customer.
Why they cannot just send an internal email to solve a problem in the simplest of ways!
If that is true then let me ask you as Apples longterm COO, why is this simple process not available within Apples customer Service?
But as Mr. Williams email isn't available to the public I have to ask the favour of forwarding my email to him of you Mr. Cook.
I hope Mr. Williams can explain and fix that procedural issue fast and then also reply to me with just the asked copy of my invoice as a pdf.
Best regards and a blessed christmas from the Philippines.
