I purchased a Razer Blade 17 for 3600$ from Razer in 2022. The battery on my laptop started bloating badly, damaging the case and causing my laptop to malfunction. I have contacted support and they have failed to assist me in repairs/replacement. They said it was a discontinued laptop. So what? I paid a lot of money for this machine to stop working in less than 5 years! I've been a customer of all their products for 20 years. I hope Razer can make this right.SERIAL NUMBER *************** PRODUCT NUMBER ******************Business Response

I bought a razer basilisk pro v3 on 5/16/2023 on 2/7/2024 I started having issues with said mouse and emailed Razer as this item is still under warranty. I sent out my mouse to get it repaired by them. I sent it out and they received the defective mouse on 02/27/2024. I received updates and my mouse was sent back to me on 3/05/2024. But what I received when I opened the box on 03/08/2024 was actually a headset. Not my mouse. I emailed them and they requested picture and video evidence of said package and the headset that they had sent instead of my mouse. They sent over a label and told me to pack it back up and drop it off to ***** and that they would send me my mouse back. 3/11/2024 I dropped it off at *****. A week went by and nothing from Razer. I reached out and they said they didn't have it. I checked the tracking number and it was still in my home town. I reached out to ***** to see what was happening. Then reached out to Razer both on 03/19/2024. After many hours on the phone with ***** and chat with Razer. Razer is insisting that they will send out my replacement when they receive the headset I sent back, which is presumably lost and I am still dealing with ***** on. Razer said they would be reaching out to me within 24 hours to get this settled and as of our last chat they said that they would be the ones dealing with ***** as it wasn't my package to begin with. Razer even emailed me and asked when would be a good time for them to give me a call and discuss further. At this point they have my property and are refusing to give it back, it is very frustrating that they don't have anyone I can speak to and I have to wait so long in between emails for them to respond to me.

On january 6th of this year I had redeemed my winnings on a social casino called high5casino in the form of a $200 dollar razer giftcard. The giftcard was valid as I could see the 200 dollar balance when I recieved it. Around 3 hours after I got it I went to redeem which I was in turn told it had already been redeemed. Long story short I believe razer is actively either involved in the theft themselves or working with a third party to literally take razer gold giftcards in an attempt to scam their own customers out of their money. I contacted them after filing a police report and provided them with literally definitive proof it was my giftcard. Over the course of a month they did nothing to verify from "whoeever used it" how they obtained the giftcard and continued to keep asking for basically proof it was mine that was impossible to provide they had enough to see I was the rightful owner of said giftcard. This company isnt to be trusted and if I had the money I would be seeking legal action against them. They are criminals and thieves and I'm disgusted by their actions. Its embarrassing a company of this size is actively robbing it own customersBusiness Response

I purchased a laptop from Razer on 1/30/24. It arrived 2/2/24 defective. I contact support and was given instructions to ship it back for a NEW replacement. I Shipped 2/3 they received 2/7. Per their own site a replacement is supposed to be processed in 3 business days. They took 2 weeks and ignored multiple messages from me during that time. The replacement was coming from a different location and I questioned them confirming that the computer being shipped was new and not repaired or refurbished as I purchased a NEW one. They lied VIA phone and email and I received a refurbished model. They shipped repl 2/21 and I got it 2/24 When I contacted them they escalated me to a VIP team. I waited over a week for them to figure out how to make it right. They sent me an email that they had no matching models and they would need to refund me and Id have to reorder from the main site so one would be shipped by their factory in *****. Then the next day (3/1) I was called and they *************** one in *******, they wanted me to go through another 2 week RMA period trusting them to do what they promised after blatantly lying and committing fraud. I declined and asked for a refund. They received their property back on 3/7 and they are refusing to process my return in a reasonable time frame now. They are telling me they are going to hold my money hostage for another 14 business days (effectively 3 weeks). Im now 39 days since original purchase, they have the item back and are refusing my calls because their employee was rude and a was rude back. They have their property back and will not process my refund in a timely manner even though we are in this position because of them. They lied to me and tried to send me a lesser product knowingly after telling me multiple times I would receive a new one. On a recorded line (their end) their rep agreed a refurbished and new computer are not monetarily the same. I need help I just want my money backBusiness Response

I get access to a website called Wellbeing Hub by SpendSmart through my employer. This site allows me to get discounts on products from brands my employer has agreements with. The discount with Razer is 15% off peripherals which is what I was trying to buy. I generated the code on SpendSmart, and copied and pasted it to Razer. The Razer site said it was invalid. After spending 20+ minutes trying to figure out how to chat with Razer (because you obviously DON'T want people contacting you) I finally spoke to someone who said the code was invalid. How can it be invalid? Apparently I'm creating some elaborate scheme just to score 15% off some stupid headphones. Even with screenshots the Razer rep didn't want to help. WTF Razer?! Do I need to throw away all my other Razer peripherals and never buy from you again? That's basically where I'm at. Thanks for wasting my time.Business Response

On 05/07/2023, I bought a Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed (PlayStation License). I started using the headset and after playing with a few friends online, they told me they had issues hearing me. I reached out the Razer who said they will send a replacement on the warranty.Once I received the new headset I immediately tested it and the issue was the same, I also started to notice my controller for the Playstation was not responding properly. I started to troubleshoot the problem and I derived that the audio issues as well as controller issues were a result of a flaw in the design of the headset by Razer. These issues did not occur when I swapped my headset to an old one or just did not use the Razer headset.The exact problem was the 2.5 Ghz dongle required to connect to the PlayStation caused interference with the Playstion's controller and this is why when I speak it sounds muffled to my friends and also why my controller would not respond properly. The frequencies were competing with each other.I reached out to Razer again with this new information and I asked to be refunded but they decided to send another replacement and "Prince *** the customer service rep, "assured me" they tested the product and it was free from defect.When the replacement came I tested it and it had the same problem. I immediately reached out to Razer who asked for video evidence of this. I provided them with the video evidence. They wanted to send another replacement instead of refunding me. At this point, it is clear Razer has a product with a design flaw. I asked Razer if they actually tested this product the way I described the issue was happening.I am back at square one and Razer refuses to acknowledge that their product has a flaw and refuses to adjust their refund policy for this case which is clearly a special circumstance. I even offered to take a different TYPE of product.Incident 231018-000166 A refund is the only suitable resolution as this point. Razer's product is flawed.Business Response

On November 17th, a Razer keyboard was purchased from **********************************. A few days ago, I had an issue with the product, so I contacted Razer Support. Initially, they were willing and able to help me. However, my issue proved to be to difficult so it got escalated to a senior tech at Razer, and I was told they were going to contact me via email in ***** hours. The next morning, I received an email from Razer claiming my product was reported as stolen, and they can't help me. I contacted ********************************** and Razer several times. **********************************. says they never reported it as stolen and that it is an issue Razer has to resolve. Razer, even when presented with proof (receipt and invoice) they refuse to correct their mistake and still claim my product is stolen.Business Response

These units may also not be designed and packaged to work in your country and may not meet all legal and safety requirements. Razer will not be able to honor a Limited Warranty on Products not purchased from an authorized dealer or ones that are outside the Limited Warranty period. If you have purchased the Product from an unauthorized dealer, all support and Limited Warranty issues should be directed to that dealer.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Razer regarding the unacceptable customer service and failure to honor their warranty policy. My experience attempting to initiate a warranty replacement for a defective mouse has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing.On 1/31, I contacted their customer support department to request a warranty replacement for my malfunctioning mouse, which is still under warranty. From the onset of the email, I encountered significant issues with the level of service provided. Despite clearly explaining the nature of the problem, I was met with confusion and incompetence from the customer support representative.Throughout all the emails sent between me and their customer service, I was transferred multiple times to different specialists, each of whom asked me to repeat the same information I had already provided. Not only was this a waste of my time, but it also demonstrated a severe lack of communication and coordination within their support team.Furthermore, despite my repeated attempts to initiate the warranty process, I was met with resistance and unnecessary delays. Instead of efficiently addressing my issue and processing the warranty replacement as per their policy, I found myself trapped in a cycle of repetitive questioning and unhelpful responses.I demand immediate action to rectify this situation, including:1. Expedited processing of my warranty replacement request or a full refund of the product.2. A formal apology from them for the inconvenience and frustration caused.If they fail to address my concerns and provide a satisfactory resolution within a reasonable timeframe, I will be forced to escalate this matter further and explore alternative avenues for recourse, and possibly bring this case to small claim courts.Business Response

I purchased these Razer cards from.Home Depot. I sent them by email to my daughter. She wrote back that on both cards these were 2 digits missing as Razer pins have 14 digits I went back to ********** but they ate not responsible for gift cards even tho they sell them. I disagree with that premise but that is another complaint. The manager took the remaining cards from the display and scratched off 2 of the cards to reveal they also were missing 2 digits I wrote to Razer asking for replacement or refund. They replied that the cards have been used already. HOW? THEY are missing digits and the cards are defective . I want refund or replacement.Business Response

Razer support has already contacted the customer who previously raised the issue previously and we have reached out to the customer on the 7th Feb, via phone and also communicated the required further steps via email to get the case progress.
Once the email was sent to the customer, the ticket status was in "Waiting On Customer" and the system followed up three times but no response from the customer. The system proceeded to close the ticket due to no response. Razer will once again raise another ticket and communicate back to the customer on the issue. We will leave the ticket open until there is response from the customer for the time being. We ask the customer to respond to the ticket/case in order to fully resolve the customer's concern.Customer Answer
