    Ordered Xbox Design Lab Controller - have received nothing and no support from Microsoft or...


    I ordered the controller in December as a Christmas gift for my son-in-law. I knew it wouldn't arrive in time for Christmas because it said it would take 3-4 weeks. However, it has now been more than 5 weeks and still nothing. When I look at the order history, it still just says 'processing' as it did back in December.

    I have reached out to Xbox and been told it is a Microsoft issue. I reached out to Microsoft, to the number given to me by the Xbox rep in the webchat, That number was 877-696-7786. I spoke to George who told me that since it was an XBox Design Lab controller, he couldn't help me. He said I have to talk to Xbox. I asked if he could give me a number to call, since he said I needed to speak with them. He gave me a number, 305-418-3527, and told me to give them case #7012288849. I guess it was a joke, because when I called the number he gave, it was all in Spanish. Ha ha. I don't speak Spanish, nor did I indicate to him that I could.

    I went back to the Xbox website and finally figured out how to manipulate the drop down boxes to get someone to call me back. So I get a call from a guy who said I had the wrong department but he would transfer me to the correct one. I was on hold, then spoke with a lady, explained my problem and gave her the order number. I told her it had been more than 5 weeks an no word. She kept telling me it takes 3 weeks; I kept telling her I understand, but it's been more than 5 weeks. This got me nowhere. The call ended with her just telling me to wait longer.

    All I want to know is, am I going to get the controller or not, and approximately when can I expect to receive it. Because if I'm not going to get it, I need a refund. I will never order anything from Xbox Design Lab or Microsoft after all the complaints I've now seen online by others in similar situations. This is the worst customer service I have encountered EVER. But in the future, you all might want to stop saying you will get your product to people in 3 weeks if it's going to take a lot longer than that.

    I will give it another week, and I guess if I don't receive it I will file a fraud complaint with my credit card company and let them deal with it.

    :)

    Shipping of Design Lab Controller

    Hi HiddenTiger21,

    Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums with this question. When it comes to the shipping of a Design Lab controller, it may take a bit longer than a standard controller shipment. This is due to the customized nature of each controller to the specifications
    made by the individual who ordered it. Once the order has been made and it is ready to ship, you'll receive an email containing tracking information. Here are a couple of great support articles that can help you out:

    I ordered a controller from the xbox design lab. he didn't come

    Hello, Daniel. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    The order for the customized controller from Xbox Design Lab will not show on your Microsoft account order history page (https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders). It will show on the Design Lab order history page (https://xboxdesignlab.xbox.com/en-us/sales/orde...).

    Design Lab controllers might take more than a month to be shipped. This is due to the customized nature of each controller to the specifications made by the individual who ordered it. Once the order has been made and it is ready to ship, you'll receive an email containing tracking information. For more information, please refer to:
    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/xbox-design...

    If you have not received any email with your tracking information and the order inside the Design Lab website is showing as "in processing", rest assured that the controller has not been shipped so far.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.

    I only got half of my Xbox Design Lab order?

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Xbox Design lab order.

    According to Independent Advisor Lucas Lauer: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...n-lab-he/9e7196c2-78bb-4195-8b13-3ea08af86abf

    "Design Lab controllers might take more than a month to be shipped. This is due to the customized nature of each controller to the specifications made by the individual who ordered it. Once the order has been made and it is ready to ship, you'll receive an email containing tracking information. For more information, please refer to:

    Since you haven't received an update yet from the 2nd order, you will have to contact Microsoft Xbox Support for a follow-up as they have the tools and resources to properly investigate this:

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us/

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Bought controller from xbox design lab - no record of purchase on account

    Hi Abi,

    I've recently had a similar issue now that XDL has launched in Australia. It seems that when Xbox Design Labs underwent their update in recent months the entire process has changed somewhat. I can confirm my legitimate order also does not show under my Microsoft Account and only shows when logging into the Design Labs website. For some reason they have unlinked the two websites, whether through accident or otherwise. It's also unfortunately had a roll on effect in other areas, with repairs being harder to lodge now with XDL controllers, not being able to purchase with Microsoft Account Credit and Xbox Support Staff having zero visibility with your Design Lab Orders.

    I had an issue with my custom controller and the Xbox Support person was telling me I must have ordered from the wrong website, even though I had screenshots of absolutely everything. It's definitely something Microsoft and Xbox need to rectify. I hope you have received your controller by now!
