I had been communicating with Meta Support for a few weeks due to a broken thumbstick. I have a years warranty on my Meta Quest 2 which is not up until July. It was purchased through an authorized dealer (Amazon.ca) and I have been given every excuse as to why the warranty is not covered. All of which do not pertain to me:
1. It is natural wear and tear. This means Meta Quest controllers are only good for 9 months? Not a great quality product for the price.
2. We are overseas so the warranty isn't valid. We are in Canada. Not overseas and when I bought the product on the Amazon.ca site, it stated a years warranty.
3. It was dropped or thrown. No such thing has happened and Meta cannot claim that without stating that I am lying.
Meta has stated that it is "under investigation" which I have questioned and received no response. I asked for a phone number so I can talk to a human and received no response. I have asked to talk to a manager/superior/higher authority and received no response. I have in fact been ghosted. It is disgusting that a multi-billion dollar company will refuse to honor their warranty for the sake of a controller. Only offering that I buy a refurbished controller with a 90 day warranty which I have trouble trusting after this experience. Take more of my money for a product that is less than stellar and a warranty that most likely won't be honored.
This is my final attempt in contacting you in this matter. Next will be social media and Consumer Affairs.

I strongly recommend filing an FTC report. It will force meta to respond. Gamers Nexus covered this regarding another company however it applies to any company not honoring there warranty in the U.S. I too will be filing one, my own quest 3 came with shattered lenses.
I am continuing to get the run around. I finally had someone state that there was a miscommunication, my warranty is valid and I was asked to provide more information such as shipping address. I responded and waited over a week before I emailed to check in only to get another email from another person saying it is out of warranty which is the same email I got that started this whole mess a month ago! This customer service is deplorable!

My 8 month old headset just broke on morning out of no where. I promptly contacted support and was told I would get a replacement sent asap. Since then in the past two weeks I have gotten a new email from a different person every two days saying "send your broken headset" then 10 minutes later "dont send it yet" and this has gone on over 40 emails over the past 3 weeks. It's unreal. it's a different person writing each time with no idea of whats going on with the case. it's by far the worst customer service I have ever gotten and I have had BAD customer service. What a stupid way to ruin great business.
