Do you feel that some of services you used were outsourced to foreign countries?

From my experience, nowadays, some of the services we used daily were outsourced to other countries. For instance, the sidestep.com customer service was totally outsourced. The representative I spoke to was more like an Indian accent. He has totally no idea what I tried to explain to him the situation. So, I just got a little bit frustrated with their customer - no - service right now. On other instances too. If they want to outsource the work, at least they should get someone to speak a little more English to help the customers.

I agree that it is quite frustrating when it is hard to understand the person from customer service! I must admit that it seems like the Indian customer service reps are more interested in helping than most of the ones that have an American accent! Once you take a minute to get through their accent, they really are quite helpful. They try as hard as possible to resolve the situation.
Of course, that is just a generalization. There are some bad customer service reps everywhere. There are also some good ones everywhere.
I just hate seeing all of the jobs leave the country!
