Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. I share with you what’s happening with me – and I LOVE to hear about what’s happening with you.
Good morning! How is your week going?
Yesterday I ran up to the Apple Store in the Tacoma Mall because my MacBook flashed a funny screen at me earlier in the week and I thought it might not be feeling so well. And I’m so glad I did, it turns out my hard drive was on it’s last leg. I’ve had that computer for a few years now and it’s been everywhere with me and it’s been through a LOT of coupon posts. It also has thousands of photos on it. Thankfully I have an auto back-up system, so I didn’t lose anything. AND the good news is that the computer is it’s still under warranty so they are replacing my hard drive for FREE. Thank goodness, with my luck things usually wait until AFTER the warranty expires to break. And even better – they said it would be 48 hours before it would be fixed and they called 8 hours later saying it was ready to pick-up! I’ve shared before how much I appreciate Apple and their customer service (remember when I dropped a steaming cup of coffee on my MacBook when it was only a week old and they replaced it for FREE?) I just wanted to share a positive customer service experience because it seems negative stories are so much more likely to be shared! This is one company and product line where I’m definitely willing to pay a bit more upfront (without any sales or discounts) and know that I’ll be taken care of.
What about you? Have you had a top-notch customer service experience lately? I’d love for you to share in the comments!

Glad you had a good experience with apple. My one time needing their customer service made me almost want to ditch my iPhone altogether.
But the garden cart you posted is great. We use it for everything in our yard and just took it to the beach. The thing works wonders in the sand.
Heather Clarke says
Oh that’s too bad about your Apple experience. 🙁 Hopefully next time is better.
Thanks for the tip on the garden cart. I’ve been considering it for awhile. This is the best price it’s been.
