I have searched high and low for a way to complain regarding my fitbit charge 3,barely lasting 2 years!! It has stopped charging & now died, despite forking out for a new charging cable and the screen is near-on impossible to see, it just seems to have gotten dimmer & dimmer! After trying all of the troubleshooting options available, I thought I'd use the live chat option... Stuck in a queue - cut off twice, then get help - cut off again whilst trying to get help - then try again later, get connected then cut off again!! So use the email address that pops up after getting cut off - only to receive a message saying they're not accepting emails?!?! Infuriating!! I want to understand if any repair or replace service is available, considering my fitbit is about two weeks out of warranty.. It's such a shame as I love the thing, but it really puts me off ever having another one when it's impossible to get to speak to anyone for help!

Hi, I recognise its tough times - but I have tried many options and failed, even having got through to live chat and then being cut off several times. Only to then be provided with an email address, which I use - to then be told its not in use...?
Thank you for providing a UK number, as that was in no way accessible and I was reluctant to phone the USA from the UK..! I am judging by alot of the comments on here though regarding the issues with the charge 3,that I may not receive any help.
I have even just got kicked out of writing this reply and asked to complete a survey -?! Baffling! More often than not, customers just want a way to make contact with a supplier, in some way shape or form, even if it takes a little longer to get a response. Be more accessible Fitbit!

Hi Lizzy
Thanks for your response, I only phoned the UK helpline this evening, after the contact number was kindly provided by the first person who replied to my post - as explained this number wasn't visible to me anywhere.
I wasn't able to get help with my tracker from the assistant, other than I will receive two emails from a separate team (have still not received these emails) with how to deal with my faulty fitbit. When I asked for more details, they explained they couldn't give them over the phone and it will be in the emails from the seperate team. Very bizarre indeed and not all that helpful. This experience has proved to be such a shame, as I have thoroughly enjoyed using my device and as I've stated previously, something this costly and from such a reputable brand, really should last longer than two years. I probably won't be using fitbit products again sadly..

ive been dealing with similar issues. charge 3 stopped working, cant seem to find direct help and the stuff in forums hasnt solved anything. My device is also just out of warranty i believe and dont plan on buying another at the price when it didnt last that long- not ro mention poor customer service...i loved ny device!
