Who Has the Best And Worst Customer Service?

New research by 24/7 Wall St. and Zogby Analytics reveals the companies with the best and worst customer service

• The poll surveyed 1,500 adults regarding customer service at 151 of America's best-known companies to come up with their annual Customer Service Hall of Fame list for those that get high marks, and the Hall of Shame list for those who fail miserably.

On the positive side, 13 companies received “excellent” marks for customer service and for an eighth year in a row, Amazon tops the Hall of Fame list, followed by Apple and Costco.
