A Jeppesen rant
Apparently when you are the only provider of GPS data for the Garmin
GNS430, as Jeppesen is in the US, you can afford to have **** poor after-business hours customer service. Jeppesen does not offer telephone sales or customer support on weekends. OK, fair enough since Jeppesen does have a web site where a customer can place orders. Whoops, their circa-1995 web site only allows first-time subscribers to purchase a GPS database subscription because Jeppesen forces a USB card adapter at an extra $150 into the cart, too. This cannot be removed unless the entire subscription is removed. So much for reinstating my subscription this weekend. Companies a tenth of their size have better "e-tail" web sites than Jeppesen does. -- Peter |

That's because Jeppesen is owned by a non-aviation orientated company.
BOEING! The only thing the democrats ever did right was to run Boeing out of Washington State. What a bunch of losers. Karl "Peter R." wrote in message ...

We just wasted a week trying to get the database card updated using the
$150 USB adapter... It would act like it was downloading the update adn then stop everytime at 72%.. Tried getting in touch with Jepps 800 number service to no avial... Well to some avail... we would get their phone message saying that "no-one was home call back later" Finally today we decided to try the non 800 number on our dime and suprise... they answered on the first ring!!! So far I'm not impressed at all with their service!!

Yea, I learned a long time ago, if you want to talk to a person and not an answering machine, you have to use the normal number and spend your dime to do it. I have never been able to reach a person on the 800 number. Scott D To email remove spamcatcher |
