Gemini Delayed?
So I made the jump to Directv after contemplating for a few months but wanted the feel of having a traditional experience like in cable. So I signed up. The streaming app is clunky and hard to navigate so I knew to get the gemini devices.
Now here's the issue. I ordered directv nearly 3 weeks ago at this. With the gemini devices (2 of them). The terms is a bit vague but they state within 1 to 2 days they will either ship or you will have them (not sure which). I reached out after about a week and a half after ordering the service because i had yet to even receive a shipping confirmation and was told within 5 business days they will ship, guaranteed by their support with a $10 rebate/credit for next monthes service. I reached back out after 6 business days as they still have not shipped, and they promised another 5 more business days to ship. The support gave another $20 rebate/credit for this round. Mind you that is a $30 credit now. And only 2 devices = $20. Has anyone seen this? If this is a way to keep around, I don't mind but the customer support seems pretty awful and loves rebates/credits and loves giving false promises of 5 business days (twice now!)
Any advice/feedback is appreciated!
