My experience with Luxe and Customer Service

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My daughter gave me a Fitbit for Xmas… it was a luxe and cost 199 bucks.

Less than 7 weeks later it glitched out and I fixed it thru customer chat. Within a hour it was a permanent glitch and was issued a ’new’ pebble that I received three weeks later. It came in a plastic bag which I found weird. I charged it but the screen was blown out, really really bright, a light grey colour with stripes running through it. Clearly this was not right. it. Another couple of hours on call, then email, then chat and an offer of ANOTHER replacement. I asked to have it issued through JB HiFi as that was the place of purchase but I believe I’m getting sent refurbished Fitbit. It will be another 2-3 weeks before it arrives. So in the three months since  receiving this supposed health device, I’ve had just 6 weeks good use and now waiting on a second replacement released.

In saying that I am Not feeling at all confident with this product!!! Is a complete understatement.
Is this the norm with Fitbit… ? To just keep replacing? Does anyone else have issues …or.  am I just really unlucky.        

I would have preferred a refund or an upgrade. Am so so so upset and disappointed!

I am very frustrated with my Luxe also, which I have had for 10 months. For me, it's mostly software issues, constant late reporting of data, multiple restarts required. I completely lost a day. Support generally has me restart and one time, completely re-set. So I looked up the terms of service. They basically are not consumer friendly. They reserve the right to replace with a refurbished product (clearly what you got in bags). They don't appear to offer refunds outside of a small (45 or 90-day window, I don't remember which), so you only have the option to work with them and their replacement runaround.

 

I hoped that Costco would support the one-year warranty, but it is a 90-day Costco product. So I'm considering buying another, new Charge 5 from Costco when I return from vacation after 12 months, and consider this Luxe as a $10/month rental. The concept is great, but updating the software constantly suggests it is poorly written. I don't know enough to know if your issues are software or hardware related, but encourage you to persist to get a working device within their window. I won't be able to succeed, hence starting from scratch. You still have options.

Good luck!

Thanks for your response, it’s still going on!!! Im actually quite shocked at the customer service 101.
I have today returned all the faulty bits and now have to wait until it arrives back at Fitbit (2weeks) with the ‘team’ to get processed (another week) and then maybe a new one???  Probably be June before I see anything!!! 

In this day and age too !! Pretty disappointing. 

I’m so frustrated by it all. And just hoping they do the right thing and sort it out.
