Ask HN: Reaching Someone at Google UK

2 pointsby tumaru9 months ago
Apologies if this is not the right place or way to do this but I&#x27;ve run out of options otherwise.<p>I&#x27;ve ordered an item from the Google Store in the United Kingdom last week, which did not arrive. I&#x27;ve contacted the courier (DPD), who told me to contact Google (which I have done several times).<p>I&#x27;ve been trying to get a refund for several days now, but I can&#x27;t get past whatever script everyone in Google support is following by phone&#x2F;email&#x2F;chat.<p>Is there any way I can get someone to actually seriously engage with my issue? At this point I keep getting told that they are &quot;raising an investigation&quot; but won&#x27;t tell me anything further.<p>Thanks in advance, and sorry for the spam. I&#x27;m at the end of my rope in trying to deal with Google here.

You could try to contact your bank and put a stop-payment or refund on the transaction?

Just to add, I have heard horror stories of entire google accounts being nuked in retaliation for disputing the transaction. So I&#x27;m hesitant to do that until I can untangle myself from google services.

To also add, I have tried contacting DPD again today, who tell me that Google haven&#x27;t raised an investigation yet - despite them assuring me they had done so last week Friday.

You say you have contacted the courier. I assume that means that you had communication that it has been dispatched?

Dispute the transaction.
