~Victor's review of Rakuten customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Rakuten customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~Victor: Worst buying experience ever. You cant even contact the sellers through Rakuten. I was trying to get in touch with the seller but it was impossible. Amazon is the number one marketplace ever!
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting Rakuten. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a Rakuten problem?
~Victor: I'd give them a two out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~Victor: I'd give them a one out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Rakuten's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Victor: For that I would say four out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Rakuten customers?
~Victor: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for Rakuten to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~Victor taken from his Rakuten customer service problem that occurred on November 15th, 2017.
