I bought a Targus TR601 15 Elite Notebook Backpack about 1 year ago. Right before Christmas, the zipper on it broke. I called Targus customer service and had a very good customer experience. The Customer Service Representative did several things that were right:
Make it Personal
The Customer Service Representative called me by name and treated me very well. He asked about my zipper breaking and empathized with me.
Honor my Request; Honor the Warranty
I called to request for a new backpack. The Customer Service Representative took down my email and other basic information. He guided me through the streamlined process. That was it. It was very easy and there was no hassle.
Where’s my Stuff
After sending in my defected backpack, I received an email from Targus one week later indicating that they received my backpack and that they are processing my request. Great service. Below is their email:

It has been over 8 months that I have yet to receive my rebate. My rebate tracking number is 386529994. The rebate was for a laptop cooler which I bought Nov. 12 2009 at Fry’s Electronic at San Jose, CA. I have a copy of my receipt and rebate form that I originally submitted to Targus. I cant be contacted at 408-966-6956.
