Amazing Customer Service Stories

Wanna have a world class company? Then better work on having world class customer service folks and evangelists work for you like these examples :

Case #1 : Google
Online Marketeer complains that Google is giving him a headache
Google sends him a handwritten note and an asprin

Case #2 : Nintendo
Phone-in customer service offers to replace dog-chewed DSLite at fraction of price

Case #3: Netflix
Refunds DVD returned from ex-subscriber


Pretty sure there are more such cases but kudos to these companies for taking the extra effort to inject that WOW factor into their service.


(NB: Found most of these stories from Digg which millions read per day. Isn't that reason enough to beef up your own customer service? ;) )
