Hi all,

New cable install in Wellington. Signed up on the 10th, told that it may be installed on the 24th but I'd receive a SMS in the next day or so to confirm a date. No contact.

Went into a VF store on the morning of the 17th to get them to check install dates and was told I would receive a SMS later that afternoon. No contact.

Can a kind person from VF please check what is going on with my install date? I just need to know the day so I can plan to work from home. 

I've tried the calling the help desk but can't be bothered waiting on the line and Customer zone doesn't provide any info. This is a pretty terrible on boarding process, but I'm giving VF the benefit and assuming is falling down on Downer's(?) side of things.

If you give Downer a call on 0508 DOWNER (0508 369 637) (Option 2 for residential, then option 1 for installs if memory serves) & quote your account number, they can check the current booking date and reschedule if need be.

The usual process for this is that the sales rep will take the order, the order entry team will run it, and they'll leave it unscheduled with a flag to Downer dispatch to contact the customer to arrange the install time. These are processed by Downer in the order that they're received, but as long as the install order has been loaded on your account, Downer can book this in on the spot if you give them a bell.

Cheers,

 - Nik
