  Sadly, I received poor service from Ring. I am paying monthly for Ring Doorbell. There is a lag time so I cannot see who was approaching my house but I can see them leaving (no facial or identifying features). They routinely deny my Neighbors posts yet allow others just like mine. The worst example was my description of a man testing people's door handles. I gave a description but was denied. A few days later this same man was arrested for the same thing in another neighborhood. I can no longer get the Neighbors app crime reports despite paying $3.99 a month. I am also thinking that I should let the ******* ** ***************** know that Ring is actually hiding the reporting of criminal activity. Yes, I would like an apology from Ring and an end to my contract since I am not receiving the services that I signed up for. I recently had a reputable security company install cameras and an alarm. I now can see what is really happening. They call the police directly if the alarm is triggered. I have accurate, realtime videos. I encourage others not to purchase Ring products. My question: who are the Ring moderators?

  They are a decent product until you have a problem. I have 3 and 2 are defective. It has been over a month waiting for replacements. I have been told they are on backorder yet I can order new ones from *******. and have them in a week. **************** is a joke.Guess its time to cut my losses and find a new product!

  I placed an order for a Ring dashboard cam today (3/17/23) and realized during the order confirmation process that I would not receive the product until sometime in May. I do not want to wait that long for the order to arrive, so I called Ring's 800 number to cancel the order.A representative answered my call. I explained the situation to him and asked him to cancel the order. He told me it was too late to cancel the order. I asked him for the reason, since I wouldn't receive the order until May - 2 months from now and I had just placed the order a few hours ago. He just said it was too late - refusing any further help.I asked him for the name/number/email for a manager in ***************** He said that ********************** doesn't have that - really hard for me to believe! So, I then asked him about canceling the AmazonPay payment and again he said he had no control over that, but that I should call ******************* to get some resolution in very condescending manner.Overall, customer service rep's ******** was rude, demeaning and kept cutting me off when I tried to make a statement. I would never treat a customer in this manner and did not expect to receive this lack of customer service and willingness to help. I've been a Ring customer for many ****************************, you can definitely do better than this!

  Recently ring promoted their cam and promised to pre ordered items will be delivered in Feb and now they have taken the money out my account and im paying interested on and so far no proper updates from them on when it will be delivered. Upon calling the support they told me orders after Jan 21 will be delivered in July 2023. Seriously ring should return customers money and deduct only when product is shipped

  I’ve been happy with the Ring products and monitoring but my issue is with their “return process”. Spent 49 minutes on the phone working on a product cancellation and return. Returns are EXTREMELY difficult and multiple departments involved. After finally thinking my issue was resolved, I never received my return label after 3 days when I was told it takes 24 hours. (I checked my junk/spam folders to ensure I hadn’t received).
  I went online since I didn’t want to spend another 49 minutes on the phone only to be told I’d receive another label within 72 hours. Ridiculous that it takes that long to receive a label which I should have received the first time. Worst return process I have EVER experienced. Although I receive a discount through their website, I will probably never purchase on the Ring website again, I’d rather spend a little more if I need a new product from a local store that sells their products. RING needs to fix their customer service returns!

  In November, I sent two packages to your company. They were BOTH supposed to be the returned ring camera's, however, one of them was accidentally something else. What I accidentally had shipped to you was a "Automatic Sealless Combo Strapping Tool" with the word "LOANER" written on it in white marker.
  
  This tool cost my company $***** and I need to get it back.
  
  I spoke with someone in the customer support department named, ******, who said he would help me with this.
  
  It's been quite some time and I believe they lost my tool.
  
  I am still waiting on information.
  
  Please get back to me as soon as possible. I have the other ring camera and am going to return it but am waiting on my loaner tool back.

  My Ring Doorbell Pro 2 died just after the manufacturer warranty expired. In total it cost me 3 electrician visits: 1 to install, and after it stopped working, 2 different electricians to figure out that it was not the transformer or the chime, that the unit was just plain dead. Ring's Tech Support was helpful in helping me test separately and confirm that the doorbell itself is dead. They also confirmed that it is out of warranty even though I paid $30 for Ring's annual protection plan. I was offered a 35% discount on a replacement of a $*** item.
  While the bell was working it would often lose connection to the internet, so I would not have said it was fully reliable on it's best day. The bell is also not very loud, but I did not want to pay for any further upgrades. Given these issues and the it is $*** to replace, I am opting to take my electrician's advice and buy **** instead. I consider my purchase of Ring to have been a big waste of money.

  Ring has been monitoring my home for over 3 years, over that time the options and accessories have grown, as well as improved. During my first installation I found the customer service team helpful and understanding as I worked through the technical issues. I have 7 doors, 12 windows, and 8 cameras, and 5 fire alarms, along with 6 leak detectors currently operating. I have never had any issues with any of them, except for the occasional software update or battery replacement. Over the past three years I have learned to research carefully when purchasing new accessories, there are plenty of discounts out there if you know what you're looking for. I could not be happier with my investment. After being stuck in an ADT contract for a year, I understand the freedom of being able to change or add functions at will. To those thinking about purchasing a Ring system, if you are not technically incline, or know someone that can help you through problems, you should probably steer clear of a self-installation home alarm system.

  DO NOT BUY RING CAMERAS! My ring spot light camera broke, was under warranty. I called their broken English customer support and told they were sending a replacement. Two months later, multiple calls, chats, I keep getting lied to by multiple agents. I now have been told, after receiving replacement emails and shipping info, the item is no longer in stock. I was given a $10 credit to cover my monitoring for next year. BUT....when you go to their website to order a new one, it shows available. I questioned multiple agents regarding why the website shows available and they told me, "any one can order but the item won't be shipped to them". THATS FRAUD. You can't take someone's money, not knowing when the item is going to be in stock. I have spoken with multiple managers, with no resolutions. DO NOT BUY RING!

  I purchased A stickup wireless camera bundle of two, one camera didn't work. After a lengthy troubleshooting process, it was found to be defective, and another was sent to me. This camera was also defective and upon further investigation i found they had sent me a refurbished camera not a new one to replace the camera i had just bought. It then took me over an hour and a half to go through the return process.
