(Rant begins)
Back in April 2016 I took advantage of a Getflix lifetime account offer. Everything went along swimmingly until about the middle of 2017 when I forgot my password.
No problem contact Support and the matter will be resolved. In my dreams. Eventually with much to-ing and fro-ing I received an email from them asking for a photo of my driver's licence. It and my bank details stay in my wallet. After trying every password that I could ever remember I eventually kicked the proverbial goal. Very quickly changed it to one that I would not forget.
Once again everything went along swimmingly until recently when I tried to log in only to be greeted by a pop-up stating that my account had been disabled.
Once again contact Support to sort it all out. Deja vue! Despite me stating that the login email address was not current they are still 'talking' about sending an email to the old address and the usual to-ing and fro-ing.
The following is the latest email:
"Hello xxxx,
Thank you for your message.
Accounts can get disabled if the email server stops responding for security reason. Looks like this is what happened on this account.
We need some kind of verification of the ownership otherwise we can not change other account details with a request coming from different email addresses.
We can verify ownership with the following information:
- ID information matching with the account owner details in our records
- Paypal or credit card information match with the payment service
- PayPal subscription ID information or Promo code information matching with the account.
- Request coming from the same email address of the PayPal account.
Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to help " (Love the smiley!)
This morning I was able to find and email the details of the Paypal transaction. Nothing yet.
It is often joked that trained monkeys populate call centres, etc. I have come to the conclusion that the Getflix Support Centre does not even have that level of intelligence.
I have asked very specific questions that have remained unanswered.
Getflix Support simply consists of a random email generator, click, click, click, send.
If I am not who I say I am why would I be concerned if another person's Getflix account was disabled?
If I am not who I say I am how would I even know that the other person's Getflix account was disabled?
I feel better now.

Look Here -> |
This is what I have been dealing with. This was the online chat of a few minutes ago.

Okay, can you send this concern to support@getflix.com.au and I will ask our subscriptions team to look into this matter and so that we can get back to you easily for updates. We apologize for the inconvenience.
xxxx
I have already done that with absolutely zero, repeat zero satisfaction. That is why I am now chatting
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
we do apologize for cases like yours the team above handles the case
xxxx
The responses to my emails appeared to be randomly generated and bore no real resemblance to answering my concern. I repeat they era a complete waste of time.
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
please send an email and I shall make a follow up
xxxx
To whom? If support I know I will get no satisfaction
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
To our level 2 that can check the case
please submit the email
xxxx
What is the email address? I feel that once again I am simply getting the run around. Why not connect me with someone who can actually make some decisions and give me some satisfaction?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
still the same email address as above
but will be routed to the team
xxxx
I have been through all this before. As youcan probably tell I am getting more and more exasperated at the semmingly lack of desire to give customer "Support"
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
we do apologize it is how we process concerns like this
if there were any other options we will proceed but for cases like this
Okay, can you send this concern to support@getflix.com.au and I will ask our Network team to look into this matter and so that we can get back to you easily for updates. We apologize for the inconvenience.
xxxx
The time is long overdue that you improved your system/attitude.
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
please submit the email and we will do a follow up
xxxx
As I asked before simply connect me with some one who can actually make a decision and deliver some customer satisfaction.
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
and that would be the team above as previously mentioned
xxxx
God help us all!!!!!!!!!!!
I should add that I am waiting on response from them . I have already given them some information which should have been sufficient to progress my request but nothing.
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
Yes we do understand that a follow up will be needed
for us to ask the team whats the current update of your case
xxxx
Why has there been no response to my emil giving the information they requested?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
We dont have any updates from them as wqe speak hence the need for a follow up on your case
xxxx
If I have to deal with "Support" then I will die from old age before I get satisfaction
By the way at the top of this pane it says 24/7 Live Support so why am I not getting any?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
okay we are 24/7 live support on chat
I had a work sched last time from 6pm to 2am
and my pals have the 2 am to 10 am and rest of the schedules are filled up on
xxxx
I despair that my problem will ever be resolved
How do I contact the "Live Problem Resolution" people?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
You are on that live chat team
xxxx
Yes but where is the problem resolution?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
Yes we do understand that a follow up will be needed
for us to ask the team whats the current update of your case
xxxx
I have alreadfy sent numerous emails without out satisfaction. Are you really sayning that I go through all that useless hoo-ha again?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
We do apologize that is the process we have for this
xxxx
Why is it so difficult to connect me with some one who can make a decision and resolve my problem then we can all enjoy the rest of our day?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
we do apologize for cases like yours the team above handles the case
xxxx
If that is the case then my problem will never be resolved!!!
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
Is there anything else that I can help you with?
xxxx
Yes. Connect me with some one who can make a decision
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
we do apologize for cases like yours the team above handles the case
xxxx
Am I chatting with a real person or someone/thing tapping on a keyboard
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
Yes a real person.
xxxx
Please please help me
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
Hir let me spell here incorrecly to prove that error
we do apologize for cases like yours the team above handles the case
xxxx
Why do you keep repeating that phrase then?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
that is the process we have
xxxx
As I said it is long past its overhaul date then
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
then please submit a new email so we can follow up
xxxx
I have no faith that I will get satisfaction even if I do.
The reason that I asked if you were a real person is because the responses to my emils certainly indicate that they are not wriiten by a real person. Each response is "signed" by someone/thing different so no continuity
Is it possible to actually speak on the phone with someone?
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
the only options we have are chat and email
xxxx
Oh Dear!
It would save everyones time if you had on your website "This service is provided without any support"
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
We shall make note of that and inform the team regarding that suggestion
Is there anything else that I can help you with?
xxxx
Thank you. I have done my best.
Nicklaus E. A. | L1 Support
If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.
Have a great one and keep safe!
Your feed back is important to us, please don't forget to leave us some feedback, comments or suggestions.

I can see only two choices
Prozac to tolerate them or viagra to do the other thing which seems a better result with a satisfactory result lol
Haha, this does not at all surprize me... when I saw this ;
Getflix is a brand of Digiport OU.
Suite 9, Ansuya Estate
Revolution Avenue
Victoria, Seychelles
I immediately recognized the place Seychelles as being ;
Once a colony of the United Kingdom, Seychelles is an archipelago of islands in the Indian Ocean that has about 2.5 times the area of Washington, DC.
The island nation made headlines in 2018 for being the setting of a mysterious alleged meeting between a Trump-linked private security entrepreneur, a Russian CEO, and a representative of the United Arab Emirates, which was investigated by Robert Mueller as part of the Trump-Russia investigation. Seychelles was one of 30 countries blacklisted as a tax haven by the EU in 2015, but it was later moved to the “grey list” after making some tax reform commitments.
LOL... so...you're dealing with a company (getflix), which is a subsidiary of another company (digiport), operating in a tax haven, in a county unaligned with many global laws, which is involved with streaming content, over VPN services, said content which is normally (some might read 'legally'), not available in our locale (AU)....??....seriously?
I wouldn't have anything to do with such a setup, and knowing this much, and I wouldn't expect any sort of businesslike, professional service or support, and the fact they seem so non-forthcoming, would allude back to the shady area of VPN services they're involved with, set up by some rich fukkas looking to make some easy money. B^) It's usually a dead give-away when a business/company/site do not disclose -any- contact phone number(s), and to some people (mostly those who own the copyrights of movies/multimedia deemed not available in AU), would likely construe something like 'you have been paying the getflix pirates' ...I really do think you're getting what you paid for here =)
So VPN providers are OK then?

It took a lot of effort but eventually I now have Getflix working to my satisfaction.
Persistence does pay off!

Sound like the same people from Telstra tech support.
Explaining each step of what I wanted in words of one syllable and three letters eventually paid off.
Not interested in Netflix.
Works on all devices I have - 2 TV boxes, tablet and PC.
