Invicta Customer Service

Is it just me or does Invicta Customer Service treat everyone like garbage? I have spoken with them several times over the last few years and have never gotten any resolution that made good sense. 1 watch, a Corduba, was sent to them twice and never came back working. I don't get it...

I don't get it... I have to agree,their cs is terrible.They have a D rating with the BBB and most of it is due to cs..

LET ME SIMPLY SAY THIS ................... INVICTA CS IS FANTASTIC .. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM .. perhaps it's your approach. A little charm goes a long way when dealing with any cs dept. ..... I try to talk to them a while and get them to enjoy talking w/me .. They, like all people respond to a little kindness .... I understand your upset, but, I recommend trying to call again and say, hey guys, I can't do it w/o you. A forum member said you we're the greatest and I hope he's right ..... maybe this will work .. make em laugh and you are half way there ... become a priority to the person talking to you ..... yes, all customers should be a priority, but, like moths we too are attracted to the light and tend to respond favorably when in the light of friedliness. So much for this ............... I've dealt with them fifty times and not had a problem once .. so, I speak from my own experience only when saying these things to you. Good luck on the next try.

Yes you can be nice to the phone rep but unfortunately the phone rep is not the one fixing your watch. The phone rep only passes your info on into the system. Most phone reps work for call centers that are contracted. I don't know for sure but I'm willing to be that Invicta does not own it's "own" call center. rolexconfuse View Public Profile Send a private message to rolexconfuse Find all posts by rolexconfuse

Mr Blue Im not saying your lying but I find it really hard to believe you have dealt with cs 50 time and never had a problem,its hard to be nice when you are constantly lied to and given rebuttals that make no sense what so ever.Taking 6mos to repair a 1 week job and then getting the watch back only to find no repairs done at all.Unbelievable.This is only my experience and would not speak for others but anyone who has been around their CS knows exactly what I am talking about,go to the BBB...

I had to get one of my invictas repaired. I went to a rolex dealer and he repaired it in about 2 days.Invicta said it would take 4 to 6 weeks.And I had to pay 25 bucks to ship it to them.No way! Their phone skills need more polishing. __________________

To answer your question simply, no they don't treat everyone like garbage. Their CS is lacking in many ways, although it does appear to be improving, it's not the best. That being said, they've always seemed pleasant even when not entirely useful.

I don't think Michael will mind if I move a post he made in the Invicta Forum for addressing Invicta issues. If you contact her, I garantee you will get a response and some "action". The woman does move mountains when all else seems to fail.

Please Cincinnati .... When, I call, they speak to me beautifully ... Hello Mr. _____. How are you today !! .... 50 time is conservative .... I have 'never' had a problem with Invicta customer service or parts. They are beautiful people who try very hard to please us and deliver the best possible service. Now, if I was lying, it would be twice and I only really need to lie once, right ? .... so, yeah, I'm telling the truth for the second time .... MB mrblue View Public Profile

If your worried about Invicta's CS don't use it. Repairs that I have had generally do not (or comes close to) the amount of shipping charges you have to pay Invicta anyway. Then the hassle of warranty claims. Make sure the watch is working perfectly durning your 30 day grace period. If it isn't send it back for a replacement not for warranty. I begining to think about watches as I do electronic "DISPOSABLE" for anything under $200 dollars. glasetj View Public Profile

I have called CS and sometimes it takes a little while to get through but have always been helpful to myself. I have a couple Invicta's that have changeable straps with the screws that are easily damaged. They always get me new one's at no cost for part or shipping. It takes a while because the parts come from over sea's but I talk friendly and joke with them and they joke back ie it get's the job done. Now this is just myself and IMO as the old saying goes you draw more flies with honey.

I'm not sure who I spoke to, Inv. or Shop, when I called the # on the card. I sent in my new SANIII when the hands fell off on day 9, waited 3 wks & called to make sure they received it also to ask about the Akula I got w/no wrap, dirty, scratched and in yellow box, the young lady I spoke to told me wait a while they'll notify you and yellow box is normal. She never asked my info, it was hard to hear over background noise- sounded like I called in the middle of a party. When I called Inv. directly a couple wks later cs was helpful & pleasant, but I sent watch back 3/5/10 got it back 6/21/10, long time to wait but now watch works beautifully MattC View Public Profile Send a private message to MattC Find all posts by MattC Add MattC to Your Contacts

The customer service reps have always treated me courteously. Any delay in getting parts or your watch back quickly isn't their fault. I always try to remain civil with them, even though I am frustrated by "parts department" that doesn't stock parts, not even a simple screw.

Thankx for your remarks and welcome James. I have only had a few instances to use customer service at Invicta and they have been effective in taking care of my problem( I have over 125 Invictas). It seems many Geeks have had a bad experience and I can understand that also.

I would describe Invicta's CS as "evolving." I have had occasion to use their CS 4-5 times over the past 8 years and have always been treated courteously. I would definitely say they are improving that part of their operation. __________________ "God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy." -Billy Currington

Highlander ....................... I've called 'conservatively' 50 times, not with complaints or *****ing and moaning .. but .. to get help. Often it is for a special strap, or part, or smething like that. It's not always repairs, and as a matter of fact, not at all .. I call their cs and their parts dept and other areas to get assistance for many different reasons. I've purchased directly from them on Sunday runs and otherwise .. I think Android and other companies do this as well. I just ordered a watch from Android and not the shop or the forum. So, CS .. yes Customer Service is an all encompassing thing. It is not reserved for those who have complaints or need to fix or repair a watch .. Is this clear ? Man, I sure hope so, because I oftimes get the feeling that many think CS is about repairs only .. It is about full service ............................................

Never used Invicta cs, used ShopNbc once with great results. I just haven't had any issues with my Invictas even the inexpensive ones. I love the brand and I'm sure they will come through for you. Anyhow welcome to the forum lot of good information floating around. __________________

I think of Invicta as a product distributer. If they were really into repair they would have a a department with trained people to repair these watches like SWI. Or, they would just simply replace the watch with a new one like Stuhrling often does. Sending it oversea for repair is ridiculous. Now to quit bashing Invicta, I love the types of watches they sell and really never had an issue besides knowing when to register and when not to. Shop has finally drummed that one into my head. glasetj

Like others have stated, Invicta's CS is lacking in some instances but I believe is headed in the right direction. I just had a watch vacationing over in Switzerland (movement issue) - they said it would be 6-8 weeks and I received it back 2 days shy of 8 weeks and all is well.

If Invicta's CS was as good as their designs and quality of their watches, no one would have anything to beeetch about. Let's all hope that Invicta's CS continues to evolve. I think they should look into cloning Rebecca - she is awesome! __________________

I had the OQ "floater" day hand. I contacted Rebecca via e-mail, received a prompt reply (she also waived the $28 shipping charge) and then I opened a repair order on line @ Invicta.com. I mailed my watch in on 5/12/10 and received it back on 7/22/10 repaired and looking like new. I tracked the progress of the repair on line from time to time. I've only had one repair and it was handled with no issues. I was prepared for 8 weeks plus, so I was pleasantly surprised at the quick repair and return. pirate View Public Profile Send a private message to pirate Send email to pirate Find all posts by pirate Add pirate to Your Contacts #39 08-03-2010, 06:57 PM

This is not a BASH!!!!!!!!

This is not a BASH and I guess it's my turn. I have had the following problems with Invicta this year. 1. Mode 6038 Reserve 3H Bolt SW200: Crown defective (2 times) Replaced with new one 2. Model 6940 Reserve Combat Bolt: Day hands would not align Received broken Sunday Run--Replaced with new one 3. Model 6185 Reserve 3H SAS: minute hand fell off 4. Model 6459 S1 Racer Chrono Hand would not align Received broken Sunday Run---replaced with new one 5. Model 4906 Corduba Ibiza Chrono hand fell off 6. Model 2236 Lupah Grand Chrono Hand fell off 7. Model 5880 Slick Chrono Stopped I have had these problems since January of this year. It has not been a good year for me and Invicta. BUT, They made everything right. I paid shipping and the $28.00 on two of these. The rest were paid for by Invicta Customer Service. I have dealt with the same person, Maria Fonseca, each time I've had a problem. I am not the most responsive person to deal with and believe me, I WILL SHOOT THE MESSENGER. Maria has been able to solve all the problems and issues that I was experiencing and finding a happy medium for all concerned. Yeah I waited a while for the return of the watches, but they all work fine now. I only have trhirty-eight Invictas, but you know, they all work fine. I'm not saying that the

other CS Reps at Invicta are bad or lacking in people skills. but my money is on Maria. Now Invicta chaged the way CS is reeached. Your call is answered by a machine and your call is answered first come fisrt serve by the next available CS Rep. Double the wait time, but I still ask for Maria. Deal with it as you may, Maria has kept me a __________________

"Elephant in the room" (also "elephant in the sitting room", "elephant in the living room", "elephant in the parlor", "elephant in the corner", "elephant on the dinner table", "elephant in the kitchen", "elephant in the champagne room", and "elephant on the coffee table") is an English idiom for an obvious truth that is being ignored or goes unaddressed. The idiomatic expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss.[1] It is based on the idea that an elephant in a room would be impossible to overlook; thus, people in the room who pretend the elephant is not there have made a choice. They are choosing to concern themselves with tangential or small and irrelevant issues rather than deal with the looming big one. cincinnati View Public Profile Send a private message to cincinnati Send email to cincinnati Find all posts by cincinnati Add cincinnati to Your Contacts #46 Today, 04:15 PM

If you are having such a problem with Invicta, why do you continue to deal with them. Are you blind to your own "Elephant". Bashing Invicta or their Customer Service is not going to

fix anyones problem, espescially yours. There are thousands of watch brands out there. From the $2.00 watch to the million dollar jobs, many choices, pick one that suits you and be happy. Being miserable about a watch, c'mon, there are more important things in life, __________________

I've owned three Invicta's, and now down to my anatomic RD, which I wear in rotation. Speaking for my experience I have had to call CS twice about watch problems. It took time but Rebeca and company always worked with me. You have to be patient with them as they are overwhelmed, and other WG's say things are improving so this is good. On another note here if I had to call CS 50 times then I would consider this a big issue!!!
