Versa replacement

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

I mailed my Versa back to Fitbit on June 06 per their instructions. They have verified thru tracking that it arrived but have said that they need an additional 5 days to really verify that it is there. Meanwhile I still don't have the replacement. As it stands it will take a month to get my new one. I am getting fed up with FitBit. Maybe its time to move on to Apple.

@CAR1OL Their replacement policy is really terrible. They told me that it could take up to a week for the one I sent in to arrive at their warehouse. Meanwhile, it didn't even leave town for a week. It's scheduled to arrive at their warehouse after 2 weeks. Then they need 5 days to verify that it arrived. They can just enter the RMA into their system in about 3 seconds, but whatever. They also ship using the slowest of slow boats available - FedEx "SmartPost." If they shipped via the equivalent UPS service, UPS usually delivers it themselves, rather than handing it off to USPS. Not FedEx.

Here it is July 2nd and I still have heard nothing from FitBit about my Versa. I called and told them to just give me a refund but they said no. According to tracking they got my FitBit a couple of weeks ago but still no word. I am done with FitBit and already have purchased an Apple Watch and love it.

I had gone through the same pain like you did. I had multiple email conversations with them at "https://contact.fitbit.com"[fitbit-support(at)fitbit.com]

I reported the problem on July 5th. After the return package missing from their warehouse chaos, they finally shipped my replacement Versa on July 24th. 

 

I think you just have to be patient with these guys to get a replacement. May be that's how inefficient their process is. Sad but true.

Hi,

They received my Fitbit on June 19th from the warehouse. They verified it by tracking. I still haven’t received my Fitbit. I have been wearing a Fitbit since they first came out. I am very disappointed !

@CAR1OL They've had it for over a month - that's a lot longer than 5 business days! Have you called support, or have you just used chat/ email?

I’ve called support multiple times, they are trying to find it.

@CAR1OL I'm getting all het up on your behalf. It's long past time for them to "try to find it." They need to just send you a replacement. Overnight. Have you talked to a supervisor?

Their replacement warranty has completed crapped the bed.      I had my Fitbit versa for around 4 months... one day it wouldn’t hold a charge and wouldn’t turn on. So I phoned them, they wanted the versa (without band) and charging cable. So with the label they send I bought the packaging and put the label on it and sent it in.   2 weeks went by and nothing, so I phoned in.   They said they have received it and are just verifying it and that it should be sent in a few days express.   So I wait and nothing, so I phone back in and I’m told they didn’t have my postal code and that’s why it wasn’t sent.     So I have it to them and I specifically said to the rep “so this isn’t going to be refurbished right?   This will be brand new?”   He replied yes yes brand new.      Well it came in express two days after that and it specifically says refurbished.   —- I didn’t pay for a used Fitbit!!! Mine was only about 4 months old!!!!    So I called in and they asked me how I knew it was refurbished etc that refurbished never meant it was “used”.        Load of crap!     So I have to wait another month to resend it back in and get a new one.     So because someone on their end messed up.. I have to wait another month.   Out of the 6 months I’ve had this thing I’ve only been able to use it for 4 and the warrant only lasts a year.    

 

I asked if their warranty would restart with the new product and they said no. They also have no compensation program.  So if they screw up then -oh well that’s your problem.   

 

Im sending it back in and going to go back to my Apple Watch.   

 

Fail Fitbit.. massive fail.
