All I'm saying is, empty box should not work if they're monitoring packaging for packages over 120g.

New products often get shipped without inspection at packaging, which can be a reason for EB being so successful with new products.

EB or battery leak? Please help!

Too heavy to EB but you can try. It is the easiest one but might fail easier too.
There is a recurring problem with the Quest3 of the usbc port melting. Maybe you could find some pictures or photoshop and then FTID or box them on the return.
Good luck

Quest 3 caught on fire, contacted Amazon immediately to let them know about the situation, they were shocked, they connected to three(!!) different reps, and finally, issued a refund. Mission complete, everyone!

Did they ask for photos or anything like that. I assume your not being serious when you say it caught on fire.

I am completely serious. I showed them a photo of a melting USB-C port. The first representative directed me to a specialist, but the specialist insisted there was nothing they could do for me. I requested to speak with their supervisor. In response, they asked me to upload a photo using a link they provided. A few minutes after I did so, they initiated the refund. Done.

Three days ago. Immediately told them it caught on fire (two hours post-delivery) and they processed the refund without any delay.


RE: Best way to get a Meta Quest 3? - condariano - 11-28-2024

i have purchased the quest 3 using paypal, but i paid in 4. does that still protect me the same way and will i still get a refund and not have to continue paying the 3 other payments?

i will be attempting to DNA and claim through chat support before paypal claim. and also after i receive the package how long must i wait until i cna use it?

any support would be really great.
thanks

weights and there are methods that have worked for similar weighted items.

Ok then, good luck. I suggest doing a quick search on these items first.

Update: MEB was a success

Congrats! Happy to be wrong if MEB is consistent with the Q3.
