Hello all,

We have been asked to get gather some testimonials from AFOLs regarding the service of LEGO consumer services. Please respond to this post with any information you would like passed on. If you’ve interacted with them, please let us know if you’ve had positive interactions, problems, issues, or just general impressions you may have.


To got the ball rolling, here are my thoughts:

I wrote customer service a letter when I was seven to tell them I thought correcting people who said ‘laygoes’ was lame. I never recieved any correspondence back on this most important issue.

Otherwise, I have never called or had interactions with the costumer service department. Before meeting folks like Steve Witt and Jake McGee, my interactions with anyone from the company was at LEGO stores. For the most part, they never seemed to know much about the product beyond how to ring it up at the register. I doubt if I were missing a piece or had a major complaint that I would even contact costumer service at this point. These days we have community reps (Steve Witt, Ambassadors) who seem to fill that role and carry on opinions and concerns. My general impression is that if I call cosumer service, I’m going to get some desk employee who will have little to give me in the way of information or action.

I have learned that you must phone as to use the designated web/email system can be useless. The last time I had a query I used the web form which then produced two emails. The first was an automated "we'll get to your concern, thanks for filling (...) (17 years ago, 15-Aug-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

My experience has been positive. There have been times when pieces were missing or damaged from a set including sticker sheets that were folded, bent and unable to be applied and customer service has always sent the missing pieces. Never had the (...) (17 years ago, 15-Aug-07, to lugnet.ambassadors)

(...) I talk to Lego customer service almost weekly. I have had very good service from them and they try.

(...) I have had only positive experiences with Lego Customer Service. When I was eight or nine I wrote customer service to get replacements for some broken pieces.

All I know is right now shop@home is suffering badly. a lot of shipments with wrong things, but then to make it worse, they sometimes seem to feel it's ok to pressure the person into paying for what they shipped that was wrong. Not something I have (...) (17 years ago, 16-Aug-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

My experiences with LEGO customer service are few and far between, but when I have contacted them, I have been very satisfied. Once, I had bought two of set 8420 and received different couloured shock absorbers. After a brief e-mail conversation, I (...) (17 years ago, 20-Aug-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
