If I do this this week, is it safe to do it again in 2 weeks? Wanted to SE for a friend as a gift so we can play together?

Plan to do same address and say EB

Not at the same address, or with the same payment method
If you ship the second at a different house, under a different name, using a different card, now that's doable

Does anyone know if there is a workaround to the sale of the Quest devices being banned in Germany because of privacy laws?

Move out of Germany? Kinda nonsense that you can't buy a device due to privacy
I guess finding a friend in a foreign country to ship it to is your best option

You can easily buy it here as well... Kaufland etc. are shipping just as usual.

I mean, I don't even know how I can even try to explain something so easy

- Order a Quest 2 with a guest account
- When it arrives, claim completely EB (nothing at all in the parcel) on their support page (I went with chat)
- They asked for photos of the outside and the inside of the box, provided them through the chat
- "We'll start an investigation with UPS"
- Wait 3 days
- We're still investigating but whatever, customer is always right, replacement or refund?
- Your choice, really

Done
Zero PR, zero extra questions, nothing at all but 3 days of silence and a refund.. the label on the package even registered 2kg as weight and yet not a single complain

Just to be on the safe I won't turn this on until this Sunday just to give it a couple days but in case it's blacklisted or something (doubt it but you never know) I'll either:
- play pirated games on it, offline
- buy a new one from any other shop, ask for a legit return and put the blacklisted one in the package

EDIT: for the love of whatever, DO NOT TURN THE DEVICE ON until you get your refund
I've already read about 2 different people getting their refund denied because they couldn't wait 2 days to play with it, obviously Meta WILL see the s/n went online and will cancel your claim, just wait until your money are back and then a couple days just to be sure

Thx a lot, posts like these are a blessing.

Quick question, have you ever been asked to take a picture of the label on the package, just recieved a mail asking for 3 things
1) the label specifically
2) ref or rep
3) adress

Edit: i sent them the info, but it’s the first time i’ve been told they would investigate it by a special team.

We will require more time to look into this issue and possible options available to you"
Is this normal? I didnt receive any confirmation v'ia email

Mine just got refunded, i recieved a similar mail but all is good

[megden195]

this is from chat, how long you was waiting to receive email?

[megden195]

I got an email saying:
Thank you so much for your patience while we look into this, I wanted to let you know that we are going to open an investigation with UPS regarding your empty package.

This can take some time to conclude and may potentially involve UPS reaching out to you directly and coming back to do an investigation on site. We will follow up once we have more details from UPS.

Please let us know if you have any other updates or if you're able to locate the unit (then we will call off the investigation).

Is this good?
