Rarely do I defend DJI’s customer service, but, in this case, that’s really not unusual, it’s the way most companies operate. Ever break your phone, or had it malfunction and need to get sent back? It’s a near certainty that your replacement was a refurb.
Also, you did not actually send them back a new camera did you? You owned it, and even tried to use it, which makes it a used camera, you will get a used one back. Service is not a return. It works like this:
You send back broken/defective equipment, they verify it’s condition, then send it back to be repaired, but instead of having you wait in a que until they get to it, then wait for the repair, they just send you another identical unit which has just been repaired and restored. At some point, someone else will get your camera, as a refurb, after it has been repaired. Either way, what you will get back is a used, repaired, unit, weather it was used by you or not is irrelevant as it will be in the same condition as all the others at that point.
Yes, a new unit would be nice, but that is not what you sent, and not how it works, it would be like if you bought a new car, drove it around for a while, then went back and had warranty work done but expected the dealership to give you a brand new car instead. Or if you had an insurance claim but demanded that instead of sending you a check for the value of the car you demanded a brand new car instead. Get it?
Dealing with DJI’s “customer service” can be maddening, and slow, but as far as this is concerned you are being unreasonable. |
