How do you get in touch with people who can actually help with an issue?

I was promised resolution two days ago and it has not happened. Web chat just gives me the run around. Is there a way to talk to someone at Arlo who can actually help. Yes, I've tried the retailer and they are also useless.

Thanks James, I have been having daily web chats with their support and I just keep getting brushed off with the "we are looking into it" line.

On Monday I bought these cameras at a local retailer  that were the last ones in stock. They had been sold and returned by a previous customer but I was promised they had been checked and were as new. The previous customer clearly installed them which triggered the three month free cloud access. Now I can't get the cloud access. I asked Arlo support if they could remove the previous customer's use and give it to me. They said it would take up to 2 days. It's now been five days.

Neither Arlo nor the Retailer are giving me any help and in the meantime I can't access any recordings.

This morning's reply:

"Please be informed that we already requested for a trial plan reset for the your Essential cameras . We are still waiting for the feedback as of now . Our Engineering team is not available on weekends so most probably we will receive a response on this request on Monday. Rest assured that I will get back to you on this as soon as I receive feedback from them .

"Your patience and cooperation is highly appreciated."

So it will take over a week for them to do this. Is it reasonable?
