Hate to admit it, but this is my third RMA. I did a couple back in July and still had issues. So decided to wait a month or more and try one more RMA.
My first two RMAs with Google were pretty quick. I called them, got the link request the replacement. It took them about one business day to ship it and they'd send it 2 day delivery. So the entire process from the time I called to receiving the replacement was just 3 days on both of those RMAs. And that was when Google was up to their elbows in new orders and replacements.
I would have thought almost 2 months later things would settle down. But I started an RMA on Tuesday and it's Friday and they haven't even shipped it yet.
Anyone else do any RMAs this week?

The whole process has gone to s#! *, my first rma at the beginning of august I got labels, rma form, and replacement shipped the same day. 2nd rma I called Google and they told me a rep would call me back to take my info down. Never got the call and had to call them back. A whole lot of phone and email tag trying to get all my forms and labels just to get a replacement

Oh yeah. I just realized I haven't even gotten the email with the return labels. That usually comes at the same time as the email for the replacement order.
Guess I'll have to call Google and find out what happened to the RMA.
Call once more, if nothing happens then file a complaint with the BBB.

I didn't call, figure since is Friday I'll just wait to next Monday to find out what is happening. Perhaps they are waiting on the next C9O batch from ASUS.
I called Google and it turns out their system went down and existing replacements got stuck in the queue. He said he'll need to escalate my issue to get my replacement unstuck from the queue.
Got this shortly later from Google...

At least u didn't get a "ghost" unit. When I went to get an rma on my second unit (screen lift and dead pixels) Google said they couldn't find my n7 in their system. So it took me a week and a half before they got it resolved and sent me a new one

Yeah,I also called them this morning and receive that same email.
I placed my original RMA request on 8-31. Every day I call them and they tell me the same story.. That they are escalating my order to another department that is dealing with the shipments of RMA's and nothing every happens. I call everyday.

working to resolve your issue as soon as possible.

Geez, not good to hear this has at least been going on since August 31st and still isn't fixed. Google had no problem putting a hold on my credit card though.
They told me to call again if I don't hear anything by Thursday.
I just called and they said it's stuck in a pending state as well. Guy said he would email my case specialist and I should get an email back.
Hmm...that sucks. I have been contemplating RMAing my N7 lately. I've always had very slight screen lift, but it never really bothered me. I removed 2 screws under the area where the lift was, and later removed the sponge strip. That fixed it 90% of the way. But the last few weeks I get the unresponsive touch screen, and have to turn the screen off, then back on. That fixes it completely, until it happens again. I've flashed a few ROMs and kernels, and it's a lot better now, but still happens daily.
If/when I hear that new units aren't plagued with defects, I may RMA.
So if I ordered from the Play Store and request an RMA, they'll send me a new one first, place a $199+tax hold on my CC, and wait for me to return mine, correct?
What if I get the new one and it's worse, and I want to return IT? Does that create a bigger problem?
Thanks, and keep us up to date on your situation please
Edit: Is it possible to RMA an 8GB model, and request the new one be a 16GB, and pay the difference?

The hold they put on your credit card is only the cost of the device, no sales tax. So for the 8GB model it would only be $199 total. They hold with my bank usually goes away in less than 2 days.
Google rep told me that if the replacement also has issues they still wanted me to return the original and then do another RMA on the replacement.
You have 3 weeks to return the device and normally the RMA process is pretty quick. So you could still hold on to the original while doing another RMA on the second, so long as you get that original back within the 3 week window.
For the last item, you can ask, but doubtful.

Cool, thanks for the info man!
So what you said..."Google rep told me that if the replacement also has issues they still wanted me to return the original and then do
another RMA on the replacement."
If I got a replacement that was worse(dead pixels, blown speaker) than my original (screen lift) I would have to keep the crappier one and give them my original N7 per the RMA...then start an RMA on the crappy replacement that I now am stuck with for an unspecified amount of days? That would suck. I've heard many stories of the replacement having more/worse defects than the original. Well, when or if the N7 starts to ship mainly defect free, I might RMA. Until then, I just have a really bad feeling that I have over a 50% chance my replacement will have more/worse defects. I guess I'll just keep mine, while keeping a lookout for better quality batches in the future. Thanks again man, good luck on the new Nexus.
Replacement Device being shipped.
Just a update. I received the shipping email this morning.. Whoo hoo.

Google has lost there mind..
im waiting for them to send me a replacement device for a replacement that came damaged. THEY HAVE A GRAND of my money.. HOW Do they feel this is ok to do ...
GOOGLE I HOPE YOU WATCHING This forum . your layal customers are very upset . and APPLE IS LOVING EVERY MINUTE.
I just received my replacement today (sent the RMA request on September 4th) and it is a C50K with 2 dents on the bottom (1 big and 1 barely noticeable). The border around the screen is blue instead of black and on the inside there are fingerprints everywhere. The screen is still raised on the left side but at the moment it isn't loose and creaky (yet).
Received RMA Device
Just another Update.
I received my Replacement device yesterday. Same issue. Left part of screen is raised and its a C80.
So off to send original one back and do this process all over again
I got my replacement yesterday too. It's a C8O and sadly it's got the screen lift on the left side, quite noticeable lift.
This is my third and last RMA. Sadly I'm just gonna have to accept it and live with it. I'm still happy with it for $250, just physical flaws bother me a bit. Oh well.
Talk about getting screwed. I called in to get a replacement for my device two weeks ago and now I got one more weeks left to return this phone, but Google still have not shipped their device yet. I've contacted Google support like 3 times already, but no luck getting any info. They would send me a general email saying something like it would be shipped out in a timely manner and sometimes they would refer to my nexus 4 as the nexus 10 or the nexus 7. These people don't even read the emails they send out. Should I just send in my device to avoid the 21 days penalty? I'll be without a phone for until they shipped.
Try to contact them and explain your issue. If their shipping is delayed is not your fault so no penalty should be applied. Ask them!

I just had my order status for my RMA changed to pre-ordered, so I called Google Play support. It turns out the RMA's are now affected by back orders as well. So I explicitly asked the CSR about the 21 day window, he assured me that Google will not charge me if the replacement device has not shipped. He said if I am actually charged, not just a pending AUTH (which has already cleared) to just call up. He said he's never heard of it happening, they've been told by their supervisors that it won't happen, but IF it does happen they are to refund that charge.
I just contacted Google again. They said i will still be charged for the device if I don't return it within the 21 days even though they don't have a device to send out. This will be my last time I order from Google.
File a BBB report, notify your bank of the situation and give them your BBB complaint case number. Request that your bank decline further transactions from GOOGLE *Devices until further notice.

Maybe the OP's phone still works better than no phone at all. Mine is deadlined, but the digitizer still works where I need it to for answering calls, and I can't go without until they decide to ship me a replacement phone.
Man I am sorry about your luck. I called Google for an RMA last night and my replacement was shipped this morning and the UPS tracking shows I will have it COB on Friday. I was actually surprised that it was shipped so quickly, as I thought there would be a delay because of the lack of stock units. I hope that you get this addressed with Google, there has to be some glitch on what is going on with your RMA.

Jesus, this is the same **** the pulled with ordering the phone in the first place. I ordered my phone within the first minute, didn't get it for over a week, people ordering it 6 hours later got it in two days. I RMA a week ago, now it's preordered, you RMA last night and it ships today. Dufuq Google, this is some bull ****. Not to mention the OP now being told 'll be charged for the current device before the replacement ships.
Happy for you though.

I agree that it is bull. I don't know if it was the CSR that I talked to or what, but I just got confirmation that my replacement was delivered at my house (1 day earlier). I suggest that you continue to call them to see what is going on.
I had my RMA overnighted on 12/11
device not yet received
this is what tracking says
A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

I already called like 6 times and talk to 6 different people. They elk don't seem to care. I just don't know what else I can do.
This is what I just got.
Thank you for contacting us.
You have 21 days to return the original device not 21 days to*receive* the device. You can return the device if you have the RMA and shipping label. As for a replacement device, unfortunately they are on backorder and will not be shipped for 3-5 weeks. I apologize for the*inconvenience*and appreciate your patience.
If you have any other questions please feel free to reply back to this email.
I was assured they had separate stock for RMA, probably get a better service from someone that speaks a different language to me.

Just venting.
When I ordered the VZW developer edition I also ordered a case.
When the order arrived I did not receive the case I received a headphone headband. Even the packing slip said this.
I called in and after 30 minutes on hold and 3 different reroutes I was told the case was out of stock so I asked for my money back. "That can't be done until Monday" they said:
Monday last week "45 minutes on hold, 4 reroutes and finally I get someone. Repeatedly I tell them I cannot return the case because I do not have it. 60 minutes later I get an email for return instructions for my case.
I call again 25 minutes on hold, 3 reroutes. I try to explain over and over again that I want my money back. Finally they agree.
7 days later I do not have my money back. I call again, 3 disconnects after holding 75 minutes on hold and 4 reroutes. Again the same story. They person seemed to get quite annoyed because I was expressing annoyance at the process. He promised I would receive an email confirming in 1 hours.
4 hours later and I have nothing.

After my experiences with this last 6 weeks.. YIKES! All I can say is GOOD LUCK!!!
Well I just had a tough time with their services as well. I just bought the Dev edition and it randomly reboots through out the day. I talked to them last week and they had me do a factory reset. Well it still reboots at random. Yesterday it locked up where I couldn't do anything with it for a few hours. I figured something must have drained the battery. After a few hours it finally powered back on and showed that battery at 83%. I have spent 1 and half on the phone today with them and a 1 and half last week troubleshooting this phone. I asked if I could return this unit and they send me another unit but would not. They will not give me the cyber monday sale price on it, but did offer to give me the standard Moto x for 150 off after they receive this one back. I tried explaining that I can't go a without a phone as my job requires after hours support. She suggested I find an old phone. I have to send this phone in and have it repaired by them. So I'll be out a phone for a week. They don't care.
Have you tried chatting live with a representative?
If you go to the link below, and click on 'Chat Live' - I was able to connect with someone in under a minute and they were pretty helpful with their information:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/service/p/30,6720,8696//#/service
Just another avenue to try. Let me know how it goes
I did live chat with them last Friday and waited in queue for that for nearly an hour (with only 13 people ahead of me..) only to be told they couldn't help me on chat, I had to call their hotline.
I called that on my drive home work and was on hold for about 35 minutes before I talked to someone who told me I called the wrong number. He asked what number I called, and I gave it to him, and he said that was the right number, and he didn't know why I got routed to him. He transferred me and after about 20 more minutes, I got disconnected. I called back and was on hold until their support center closed at 7pm.
Calling back tonight on my drive home to see if I have any better luck.
Thankfully, I haven't had any problems with my actual device, but yes, their CS centers are a nightmare. I called in to find out why my device hadn't shipped yet (I knew it was probably because of the storm, but I wanted to hear if it was even actually ready to be shipped, or was still being assembled) because chat said they could not check that kind of thing. The guy on the phone was obviously just reading canned responses off of a script, and wouldn't just directly answer a question. I had to ask at least three times for him to just say, "Yes, that is correct," and confirm an assumption about my order.
My only "problem" was a case that was damaged when it arrived. Their chat acted like they were doing me a huge, big favor by sending me a replacement free of charge. Hey, it's not my fault that it was either a) sent out damaged or b) damaged in transit. Shipping claims are the responsibility of the shipper. Don't tell your customer that they're a "valued customer" but that you're going to make a big concession and offer to replace defective merchandise on a "one time only basis".
I bought a Moto G on 11/26, but changed my my mind later in the day. Unfortunately i wasn't able to cancel the order. I then ordered a Moto X which BTW I love. I then got a call from a supervisor who said she cancelled the G. So I received my X about 12/12. The next day I see my Fed Ex guy walking up to my door with the G that was supposedly cancelled. I refused delivery and sent it back to Motorola who received it 2 days ago, (Federal Express conformation). I just spent 45 minutes on the phone trying to find out about my refund. I was told even though they confirm receiving the phone back from me they have to open up an investigation on the issues which could take 10 days and then they would send it to a supervisor to authorize a refund! All I can say is WOW! Love the phone ...hate the service!
My biggest complaint with their "customer care" is that you can get 5 unique answers from 5 individuals, and then talk to them three days later and get 5 more unique answers from the same people. It would seem like there's no consistency or shared information between their departments, which is hugely frustrating, as you typically have to chat, then call, then be transferred, transferred again, and then promised a call back, etc. to get your answer. A chat rep should be able to tell me the status of my order the same as a call center rep. It should all be in a synchronized ERP system, not 8 different individual systems - this is Motorla (+ Google), they really should have the resources to do this.
Yep.
My last call ended with them saying they had finally got to the bottom of this and a refund would be issued. The next day I got the case in the mail Now the really weird part is that it turns out I really like the case so I'm just going to keep it.
They are truly hopeless. I hate that they make you take ages explaining a problem only to tell you someone else needs to deal with it. Then the same thing happens with the next person.

This is 100% true and it annoys me to no end. The funny thing is, I now have 3 pairs of free earphones from them that they don't want back.

Their customer service is awful. I tried for weeks to cancel a phone order and they simply kept saying "it's shipping tomorrow." Now I have an extra dev edition phone. Argh. Thinking of putting it on swappa instead of the hassle of mailing it back (or worse speaking with their CSRs).
BTW...when does the verification nonsense go away for users? I can never read those captcha things... it's like looking at those boats in dots posters.
To update on my post from earlier in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48552145&postcount=9
I did get through to them (after another HOUR on hold) and was routed to the wrong department (again, twice), before finally being directed to someone who could "help". She explained that she would email me a ticket number and requested copies of the charge discrepancies. I was billed more than they stated I would be for my Moto X, so I was asking for clarification on the difference in the confirmation email and what was charged to my account.
I sent the requested screen shots showing the differences and never heard back. It will have been a week tomorrow, and I'll be following up then.
Well, I got an email back from them just now and they offered me either a $25 Play Store credit or a pair of SOL Republic Jax headphones in a color of my choice (the ones they have on their website under Accessories). I've never used that brand, but a coworker said they make good headphones. They're MSRP is $39.99 (which is more than $25), and I rarely buy things on the Play Store (maybe 3-4 purchases in the 5+ years I've been using Android), so I went for the headphones.
Glad they made it right. And the discrepancy on my charge was only like $8.
There seems to be two customer supports...Motorola support and Moto X support link on the email of the order. Motorola seems to be out sourced to India and Moto X in the states.
The best for us was the app in the phone Moto Care...its busy now with the holiday but normally about 1 or 2 in queue.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. My experience has been great so far!
Hi , I noticed now that Huawei is concerned about the bootloop of death , and slowly taking action by allowing some of us to send in our phone and getting it repaired/Replace via " Them " emailing us the UPS RMA Label. I have read in multiple thread regarding the RMA not being emailed on a timely manner or you have not received the email at all. Lets just make this thread specific to UPS RMA STATUS for repaired/replaced 6P and how long the process it took to get the replacement phone.. We need to see if they will follow through. This page , we should log in how many people who were given the RMA email and is waiting to have their phone repaired/replaced. Just put your info of what status you are now in , given from the first day that they authorized saying the UPS RMA email will be sent.
I will start with mine.
Agent: a guy name Alexis
04/20/17 : Were told that I will get the UPS RMA Label within 48 hours
04/26/17 : RMA Label not received so I called and waited 1:15:00 minutes before i got connected to a live person , and got disconnected. Called back again and waited 45 minutes before I was talking to a live person. The same person who i dealt with on 04/20/17 assured me that I will receive the LABEL in a few days
04/28/17 : UPS RMA Label has not been received still. I will wait till Monday to call them back again.
05/03/17 : Got in contact with support via chat late evening.
05/04/17 RMA Label received
Gee I wonder who it took to get it noticed there just trying to keep their name from getting tainted but there customer service sucks from what I've read all the issues people have had from phone's going crazy with no explanation and no rma

I contacted Huawei 4-24-17 after checking the status of the Nexus 6p manufacture warranty. Phone unusable due to the BLOD. Called Huawei customer support and finally got connected after waiting for a collective time of about 2 1/2 hours throughout the day. The agent said my warranty was good until 5-1-17 so I would be mailed or emailed the RMA instructions with label. Still waiting for something to show up. People smoking bath salts are more efficient and less sketchy than Huawei.
I have contacted them 8 times. I'm convinced they are playing a game and trying to get me to just forget about it. I've been lied to 8 times about receiving a label. I'm just going to keep chatting away with them. Last night I got the same guy I had the previous night. I copied pasted the chat transcript and said 'Here this is what you said last night'. Of course, I am now supposed to receive the label today. Again. I would ask them for the address and tell them I will just pay to ship it myself. But I'm sure they would just deny ever receiving it.
---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------
I should add that they did send me one email that was supposed to be a label, but it was blank. This was probably on purpose and meant to tide me over for a while. I will play their game for as long as they want. This is BS.

Decided to get a hold of Huawei via chat support this time, one week to the day from my original RMA ticket. I spoke to a gentleman who seemed competent and eager to serve the customer so he looked into my ticket and said they were waiting for the pics of the phone to be sent. Knowing that would come but never officially receiving the RMA process email, he resent me the email with full instructions included and offered to wait for me to send a reply email to confirm my address and also make sure it would be escalated. He did, I got the email with FULL instructions, not just what to do with erasing data and sending accessories, etc. He then "GUARANTEED" me that I would receive the shipping label within 24 hours and apologized profusely. Well, this morning was day 2 and still nothing. I again decided to use chat because I like being able to send the transcript of the conversation to my email for proof. This lady was also extremely competent and tenacious. She took about 15 minutes to get a hold of the department which issues the RMA labels and finally got it sent to me. The phone has been shipped via UPS finally. Just letting others know what to expect through this debacle.
How do you guys buy your phone maybe that's the issue I bought mine from Google's website.

How do you " Chat " with them ? Is it an app on the phone or on the computer ? It's been two weeks for me now and no LABEL.
I contacted Huawei as well its going on 50 hours and no RMA Label by email. I've contacted them twice now once via phone call for the original claim and via chat today. Still waiting to be sent a shipping label.........
Day 1: Reported my RMA Day 2: No label so I had to call back and ensure they had my email address right (which they didn't) in order to get my shipping label. Sent the phone out the same day and received an email that they got it 2 days later. Week 2: I'm on a trip to New York for a week. Week 3: I get back from my trip and still no phone so I called Huawei to get an update. The Rep says there are no technician notes on the repair of my phone. WTF to that.... After multiple calls over the course of the fourth week, the last rep I talked to said I should have an update next week. This past Monday I got a UPS noticed saying my phone would arrive the next morning, which it finally did.
FAIR WARNING: Be prepared to wait a long time. I had to wait 4 weeks to get my device back.......4 WEEKS when I was told it would take 2 weeks and got talked around in circle until I yelled at the last rep I talked to and he escalated my issue. I would suggest getting a temp phone to use while you wait. (I got a Moto G4 Play from Best Buy to use with my T-Mobile SIM). I just got my phone back yesterday and to my surprise its a new (or looks like new) 128GB model (previously had a 64GB model). So I guess that makes it worth the wait? Maybe?
Shipping label
It took me over a week to get the shipping label after making several calls, being on hold for 30 min or more, I just think they are playing games with us. This process is a joke. I already sent my phone in to get repaired for them to only ship it back to me the very next day thrown in a half empty UPS box un repaired with no reason as to why it was not repaired.

Hi , I noticed now that Huawei is concerned about the bootloop of death , and slowly taking action by allowing some of us to send in our phone and getting it repaired/Replace via " Them " emailing us the UPS RMA Label. I have read in multiple thread regarding the RMA not being emailed on a timely manner or you have not received the email at all. Lets just make this thread specific to UPS RMA STATUS for repaired/replaced 6P and how long the process it took to get the replacement phone.. We need to see if they will follow through. This page , we should log in how many people who were given the RMA email and is waiting to have their phone repaired/replaced. Just put your info of what status you are now in , given from the first day that they authorized saying the UPS RMA email will be sent.
I will start with mine.
Agent: a guy name Alexis
04/20/17 : Were told that I will get the UPS RMA Label within 48 hours
04/26/17 : RMA Label not received so I called and waited 1:15:00 minutes before i got connected to a live person , and got disconnected. Called back again and waited 45 minutes before I was talking to a live person. The same person who i dealt with on 04/20/17 assured me that I will receive the LABEL in a few days
04/28/17 : UPS RMA Label has not been received still. I will wait till Monday to call them back again.

Contact some lawyers in your area, link them to the current lawsuit and see if they want to sue Huawei/Google...
Where do you come from?
Cheers...
Beyond the seemingly blatant, almost grinding halt from Huawei to process this informal recall, I would guess the repairs are backlogged in queue due to the amount of successful claims.

Thank you. I got in touch via chat and the UPS Label was received this today. I should have used the chat a long time ago.
Sorry for hijacking the thread but I'm suffering from the early shut down and have contacted Huawei who have confirmed the phone is still in warranty until end of this year and have created an RMA.
However they've sent me the envelope to post the phone back but state you need to return with the a copy of the receipt which I don't have as I purchased it from eBay. It was originally purchased from CPW and was unlocked! Can someone please confirm if Huawei accept warranty returns without the receipt?
Note... I'm in the UK and the phone was purchased from CPW in the UK.

I just got my OnePlus 5 today and I started using it for about 30min and then the screen started freezing and locking up and then finally when all colorful static (tv snow). I think its a back connection as i can still unlock the phone with my thumb and power it off buy holding power then taping the screen guessing were the power off button is. the sounds for the unlock work to.
If anyone has an idea to fix this that is not going to void anything please let me know.

Got routed over to a support chat rep. "Lovely" almost rate away. Lovely did the I need 2-3 min blurb, after Lovely came back they said they would approve the RMA and send me an email.

According to their promo video RMA should be finished and you should get a working phone within a week, you'll be able to let us know if they live up to the hype.

I will most definitely let everyone know how the RMA process goes. I also took a picture of the box and phones two IMEI's so I will be able to confirm that I do in fact get a new phone and not the same one.
I subscribed to this thread just to see how it goes. Good luck, OP! Let us know how it goes.
So my phone arrived at one of Oneplus' partner companies. As a result I opened another live chat to get an update on my RMA status. I got routed to Lois who was also quite nice and understanding. I asked for the status of my RMA and how long I would be waiting for my replacement. Lois informed me that the hole process could take up to 12 day after the parter company inspects the phone witch could also be up to 2 days. Which it's 14 days...... I think you all know were I'm going with this. So I asked to cancel my orders and send everything back for a full refund. Lois said they would only be able to do a parcel refund for the oterbox and extra dash cabal I ordered. So at this point I'm not happy and ask for my case to be escalated and that compensation be considered for my inconvenience.
So I got an email from OnePlus later last night. They have placed a new order for my Midnight Black 8/128. So if it ships today it should get to me for Friday. We will see....
Looks like the phone shipped out today got a tracking number emailed to me and the tracking number is saying it will be delivered tomorrow. Will let everyone know if I get the phone tammorow!
So I got the phone delivered today, send in the RMA later Friday night and iv got a new phone on the next Thursday. I'm quite happy to say the very least. We will see if this phone lasts longer as oneplus did send me a total new unit I looked at the IMEI's are in fact different.
Congrats OP!
