red ringed

[cyclopopcicle]

my 360 elite has red ringed, and will be going to Microsoft, but how long is it taking at the moment to get them back?
it says on my receipt 2-3 weeks, but is this accurate?
cheers

Sounds possible when a m8s got the 3 red lights last August it took around 4 weeks for him to get it all sorted.

from what ive heard. microsoft seem to be sending refurbs out now so if that is the case then it should be less than a week imo. fingers crossed for you.

your lucky i've been trying for 2 weeks for microsoft to come and pick my console up. Breaks the day before the new slim came out would have traded it in

I've had one come back in 2 weeks and one come back in 4 weeks. Depends how busy they are I guess!

when UPS come to drop off the box that i am sending back in will they wait whilst i pack it, and take it back with them?

They don't drop it off you print out a label online find you'r own box then contact them when it is ready.

there was an option to either print my own as you say, also to have a box, and printed/paid return label that will take upto 4 days to come.

i did mine all online, used my own box, had a fixed (maybe refurbed) xbox back after 1 week.

the two times i have had to deal with microsoft re: xbox they have been fantastic

 

[cyclopopcicle]

Spoke to UPS this morning, they are bringing an empty box scheduled for tomorrow, will wait whilst i pack it, and take it with them.
said this is standard practice as per the contract with Microsoft.

Mine came back in less than 10 days. Very good service I though.

 

[Phoenix211]

[cyclopopcicle]
