Over a year ago I requested Meta fix or replace my Oculus 2 controller that had started to stick drift (a known issue). I started the claim through my warranty and received a return label to ship my old controller back to them. I was told they would send a replacement in 6 - 8 weeks. 2 months is a long time to wait for a controller, but it seemed better than shelling out $100 for a replacement or trying to fix it myself. I shipped my controller to them right away and a month later, in December they updated my claim saying they couldn't ship the (free) replacement because I had no credit card on file.
Uh, ok... so I updated my card on file. On 1/04/24 they took $50 from my checking account for the replacement (without my authorization or knowledge). I started a claim with my bank and they refunded the money saying it was deducted in error (no duh). I assumed this meant that at least my replacement was going to ship.
No updates until 1/11/24 when my replacement product was marked as pending, with no ship date or anything listed. I waited, and waited, and waited some more until 7/16/24 when they canceled my replacement shipment saying it was out of warranty (although I started the claim way before my warranty expired). They haven't shipped back my controller or anything, so now I can't even repair it myself if I wanted to.
After spending so much on this device and experiencing issues less than a year later, then having my controller essentially stolen by this company (who will then profit off of my replacement purchase) I am ready to seek legal action. But, I have no idea how to start that process.
Anyone else have their devices or accessories stolen by Meta?
Did you have any success trying to get them back and how did you do it?
Thanks
