    I paid $200 for an elite series controller 5 months ago. The lb button doesn't function properly and the right joystick drifts.

    So I scratched my head trying to navigate the website, to submit a repair order. I don't want a stupid virtual assistant. I must have typed speak to a person 20 times. I also do not want to talk to a gamer!!!! I want to talk to A MICROSOFT EMPLOYEE!!!I finally managed to call and talk to a person. They helped me create the repair order and everything was good, or so I thought.

    3 days later I did not receive the label or hear back!!!

    So I emailed the support rep, who said ups never created the label. And he needed to verify the my info.

    After that another couple days passed and I didn't get anything so emailed him.

    I got this reply

    “Hello, I was checking on this today and UPS has not created the label. I will create a new order so they can send the label.

    I will need to get access to your account so I need to get a verification code from you. For that I need to contact you and get the code. I only need the code and then I will do the process. Can you give me a time that I can call you? My time zone is Central Time. “

    So I told the rep anytime today. I never got the call.

    2 days later, they closed my case.

    So I now I am on hold with Microsoft, I called around 7:30pm it is now 9:48!!!

    I have been a lifelong Microsoft customer, I am never doing business with them again. Horrible company. It used to be if you had a problem you called 18004myxbox, and now u can't even do that you have to navigate their terrible website!!!!

    :)

    I thought you where done responding?? Not having an 800 # set up for something like this is very shady,and my CC company agreed...that's why they told me to contact the BBB.

    The BBB wont get me my money back,but they will look into shady practices. My CC has gotten me money back from XBOX before so we shall see.

    My big black paper weight.

    this is why i have yet to buy an xbox one and why ill stick with my 360 because microsoft are shady hell they are under investigation by the FTC for consumer fraud and trade violations !!!!

    Of course microsoft will put a $500 hold on your credit card and purposely delay the shipping so you have to pay the $500 one of my friends IRL had this happen to him he contacted the BBB in the end microsoft paid him back the $1000 he spent on friggin
    defective console > seeing how this is stil happening report it here if you are in the US

    Refund Escalation

    I was told by the supervisor I spoke with last night to post here. I am not hopeful at all that any Microsoft person will see it or reply, but at this point I will try anything. I still plan to file a complaint with the BBB and see where that goes.
