Terrible Customer Service
have searched for a better forum to discuss this topic such as a direct email or complaint contact number, but I’m unable to locate one in a timely manner. So, here it is…
I spent three hours on the chat with technical support this morning to discuss an issue. During this time the individual was apparently not reading/understanding the entirety of my issue. The conversation continued and devolved to the point where the representative told me twice that I was unable to perform a function with my system(the issue at hand) that I had been using for over three years.
While ending the text conversation, I called customer service and spent another thirty minutes on the phone addressing the issue.
SimpliSafe has a fix they are attempting despite it not being the logical solution. At this point I feel as though SimpliSafe puts no value in the time of the customer when resolving issues.

Hi @jrcowan90,
I'm sorry to hear about this, this is not the experience we want you to have. I've escalated your case details to our Specialist team, a senior agent will reach out to you soon to make sure that you're taken care of.

I totally agree. All I wanted to know was how to open a sensor, that's it. I told her my name & email. She wanted to know if I was using my old or new system. Why would I use an old system when I've had a new system since 2021!!! Duh! Also wanted to verify by giving her the base station #. I didn't have it in front of me & didn't feel like going to get it. So, I finally said "forget it" & hung up. Horrible customer service. Wish they had customer service in the states!

Your understanding is understandable. I have been a customer for three years and a wind storm blew awqy my yard sign. when I called to request another one, i was told there was a three dollar charge, plus shipping. This could not be more ridiculous! It's advertising as well as a notification to potential trouble makers. I don't know what the shipping cost is and neither did the customer service person who took my phone call. I will do without the sign and if anyone asks me which service I use, I will tell them to shop around.

I had one issue after another with my SimpliSafe purchase but it is the dishonest return policy that I am sharing here as a cautionary tale. After shipping back all of the components, within three weeks of purchase, I discovered that the refund was $82.67 short. A courteous customer service representative let me know that an error had been made and that an additional $62.67 would be refunded. So far so good.
However, contrary to the company's refund policy, which clearly states "Full refund. Customers can return products within 60 days of purchase for a full refund, including free return shipping," it turns out they deduct a state's sales tax from the refund. Although this is a nominal amount, it was the last straw after four weeks of substandard support from this company.
I was informed by my state's Department of Taxation that SimpliSafe is violating the terms of its official refund policy. The company's response: "We apologize for the inconvenience this might cause you. However, we will not refund for the states sales tax." No explanation.
