Purchased an Inspire HR that was found to be defective from the start (wouldn't pair). Returned the unit to the factory approx. 4/25. Told they wouldn't send replacement until the defective one is received which is scheduled for 5/8. I suppose there will be another few days shipping the replacement. Does this seem fair to have to wait this long when it was a brand new device? I feel it is very poor customer service.

I'm going through the same thing right now. I wish it was faster, but they did agree to replace it without making me jump through hoops and they paid the shipping for the bad unit, so I've definitely seen worse.

Hope you have better luck. Mine just came back this Monday (5/13). At least this one seems to be working.I can hardly wait until I fill out the questionnaire on their customer service.

I have also had terrible experienced with customer service. They have blamed me for my last two devices being defective, offered me 25% off of a new device, but only apply it to the devices they are trying to clear out as their new lines are not included in the discount. Despite my telling them I wish to purchase the new ones (and am willing to spend more money). As a result I'm buying myself and my husband an apple watch (spending more money all thanks to the horrible customer service I received). I have been buying fitbits for nearly 8 years religiously and do not feel valued or appreciated at all.

I have had 3 Charge units fail in less than a year, I replaced the first failed unit out of pocket as I was apprehensive to be without my Fitbit for any amount of time. The warranty replacement unit Fitbit sent when that tracker failed would not charge on the cradle. Now they will not send another replacement until receiving the failed replacement unit and "processing" it. This will have me without a tracker for a month while the bay area is under shelter in place for COVID-19 and keeping track of exercise and health could not be more important. It took over thirty minutes each time I tried to speak to someone on the phone and when I asked that my case be sent to a supervisor the email I got could not have been more condescending (the phone agents were pleasant and tried to be helpful but are tightly scripted and clearly constrained). I have been very loyal to Fitbit for years and purchased trackers for kids and parents and recommended it to others, I cannot in good conscience continue to do so, if my company treated a customer the way I have been treated we would be out of business. .
