      On April 14, 2023, I bought a Razer Gold Gift Card from Ralphs (grocery store) for $500, but I could not use the gift card because the *** on the back of the card was incomplete (it had 11 digits instead of 14). I have tried to communicate with Razer Tech Support so many times and they are not able to help with my issue and keep assigning different case numbers and different tech support members to no avail. I can't contact nor communicate with Customer Support who will probably refund my money. I have tried their web site, but it does not have anything related to my issue; all the information they have is related to their strong side of the business which is Video Games and Hardware. It's been a whole month and have not solved my issue.

      Razer Customer  Support reached out to the customer and informed him that the funds were redeemed from the card on April 16 2023 at (UTC+08:00) 08:05.  Razer Support asked for the proof of purchase in order to investigate further, but the customer has not yet responded.  The customer may reach out to ********************** Support directly if further assistance is needed.

      As I exlained in the complaint, I did not use the card because the *** was incomplete. They received a copy of the card *** and the proof of purchase, but they keep claiming that I used it. In order for me to use it, I have to enter the 14 digit *** not **. It was a defective gift card. They need to refund the $500 I paid.

      Per the receipt from Ralphs, the Razer gold card was purchased on 4/14/23.  The funds were redeemed from the card on 4/16/23.  Razer Gold is the same as cash, once the funds are redeemed they cannot be retrieved.

      Razer support has made my first and LAST purchase from them extremely miserable. I ordered the Razer Viper Ultimate (Mouse only) - Black. It was supposedly delivered "successfully" on 4/23/23 at 1:37 PM, which, frankly, it was not. Mind you, I am not off work until 2:30 PM Monday - Friday. The picture ***** left was of my package on top of the mailboxes at the very front of my apartment complex. When I went to look for my package it was no longer there. What a surprise. My units located in the very back of the complex. When I first contacted Razer live chat support, the representative explained to me that they require their carriers to receive signatures on all packages from the customer before dropping it off. That is an outright lie. How could the ***** driver get MY signature when I WAS AT WORK? That makes no sense. I then proceeded to contact ***** to file a claim about their lazy driver who couldn't be bothered to take it to my doorstep and about the stolen package. Next, I proceeded to email with several different customer support representatives who could only apologize for the inconvenience and refused to do anything. They kept contradicting themselves at every turn and kept asking me if I filed a police report. NO, I DIDN'T. Filing a police report is a waste of time. Do they really think the police care so much about a stolen mouse? How would they even track the stolen mouse? Oh yes, Razer support constantly says sorry for what happened and then do absolutely nothing to help remedy your issues. They outright refused to send me a replacement, or very least refund me the nearly $105 I spent. Told me to dispute it with my bank. I have proof of all the contradictory statements they kept telling me. Even had the audacity to say ***** reported no error on their part. This has been a very frustrating experience to say the least. I highly recommend everyone stay as far away from Razer and its products as you can. They just leave you in the dust. Expect no help.

      I purchased a Razer Woverine Chrome V2 controller via best buy, order#BBY01-806661636325, 7/14/2022 and the controller became defective within the warranty period. I emailed Razer regarding the defective product on 4/24/2023 and provided all of the information/documents that was requested. Which best buy location, order number, date of purchase, along with a picture of the controller s/n. I stated that I did not want a replacement controller of the same model but would like a newer version and I would pay the difference since the controller is covered under warranty. Rather than working with me they kept asking the same questions/request that I have given them already, which best buy location, order number, date of purchase, along with a picture of the controller s/n etc. After close to 3 weeks of not receiving ANY type or resolve or clear answer I asked for a refund. They said they do not offer refunds, only exchanges. They're warranty does not state "no refunds, exchanges only". The problem is still yet to be resolved. I cannot file a claim with my bank due to purchasing it from a 3rd *************** and not from Razer directly. Best buy has a 30 day return policy and does not cover Razer's warranty. I have spent $162.36 on this product and I would like a refund rather than a replacement. I ended up buying another controller, xbox pro series 2 to replace the defective one. I have already shipped the defective controller back to Razer without any kind of resolve. I would appreciate any assistance BBB has to offer. I have all emails supporting this issue/problem, Razer incident/case# ******-000067. The low BBB rating is very accurate based on my personal experience. I would like a refund/compensation for this defective controller.

      My son's headphones broke after being purchased from BestBuy on 12/26/2002. I called Razer on 5/1/2023. I explained the situation to the agent and was told that I would receive an email in 24 hours explaining how to send the product back. I received the email however, now i was asked to provide proof of purchase. I went to Bestbuy and obtained a duplicate receipt which I sent to them. I was then told that I had to upload a video showing the problem. I did. Then I was told I had to send another email because it was blurry- it was not but I resent again. I was then told it was acceptable and I would receive another email on how to proceed with 24 hours. 3 days later I received another email saying that I had to advise them if I wanted to send the product back and receive a new one or pay for a new product to be shipped first. I answered and advised them to send the address where I could send back the product. They then kept sending me emails telling me they had sent a link to click on to start the return process--they did not. I called razer and was told nobody could help me and a supervisor would call me back. They have not. Then I tried to call **************** several times but nobody answers the phone. I am on hold now and its been almost an hour. I am not sure I believe that this number is actually real. You cannot speak to an Operator at Corporates. Then I received another email saying if I did not get the email to login to Razer and access my record with my RMA number. Of courser when I do this, it says no such number exists. In the meantime, my son's keyboard is not working correctly. RAZER, it seems, will do anything not to honor their warranty. They make it impossibly difficult to return anything. You cannot speak to a live person and you cannot get any resolution. Corporate does not answer the phone. Both of these products were only 4 months old when they stopped working. I would like a replacement of both of these items. I have just been hung up on by the **************** after being on hold for over an hour!!!!

      On 04/17/23, I purchased a Razer Turret from Amazon and it has been nothing but frustration, headaches, and a poor experience overall. The experience is so bad that I've begun to actively tell people to not use Razer products. They are poorly made, QC is abysmal, and Razer's support is so bad that I have submitted a formal complaint to the *** and will be submitting one to my state's AG. This is unacceptable. The keyboard is essentially unusable right now due to the constant disconnects and desyncing where my character in games just stops moving because the keyboard desyncs. Just refund me my money or I'll do a chargeback for it. I will never buy another Razer product.

      I have logged a complaint prior to the same company, Originally had a warranty concern with my gaming keyboard, contacted Razer went through absolute h*** at least 30 pages of contacting back and forth for a warranty exchange, complaint ID ******** for reference. Between being hung up on insults to my intelligence I finally received a replacement Keyboard Aug 2022. I have owned this keyboards since and as a resent the volume switch is not functioning correctly. I contacted Razer as this is a New keyboard box says 2 years warranty. 1st call to Razer explained to a lady what was happening she was short but appeared to be looking into this for me, then I was hungup on? So I called back spoke to another person who looked into this and came back smugly and told me they are seeing the original keyboard was bought Dec 4,2022 and that puts this new keyboard out of warranty by a long time? (long time??) Received it in Aug 2022 ************** I stated to this rep so basically Razer is telling me they have no interest helping me with this issue and he said no! to maybe take it somewhere to have it fixed? Take it somewhere? and No? I'm guessing my history from last experience with this exchange has something to do with this, there was a ton of horrible exchanges hence why I went to BBB in the 1st place, I took it as resolved and I had hoped I would never interact with them for any concerns again! Sadly this keyboard though if you look at it.. its immaculate not a tiny bit of wear and tear as its not used for hard gaming.. Can anything be done about this? So they wont honour their warranty on this NEW keyboard replacement I am not asking for money just a replacement as per their warranty, I have not seen anything referencing original transaction will be used on a new keyboard?

      I purchased two $20 cards from Gift Card Delivery online and was issued the following numbers for the cards: ************** ***:********** ************** ***:********** I was sending these to a friend who is in the Army and when she attempted to use the cards they only had 13 numbers where they should have 14 and the page stated that the *** numbers had already been used. I contacted Gufy Card Delivery and they said I would have to contact Razer directly to resolve this issue. Afetr attempting to resolve with Razer they stated that there was no way for them to trace the cards and that was the end of it. I paid $47.95 for the cards issued via order number:#*******May 4, 2023Razer Gold Gift CardCompleted And am out the money with no recourse according to everyone who is involved.Sincerely,***************************** ************************************************************* ************

      Razer Support reached out to the customer and informed the customer that both card pins were both correct, but the reason that the customer's friend could not use is that they were redeemed the same day they were purchased,  May 4th.  Unfortunately Razer Gold is like cash, if its lost or stolen, once its redeemed there is no way to recover the funds.

      Bought a product at the end of 2021, item was sent in for an RMA beginning of 2023 under the warranty. Razer will not send a replacement of equal functionality as outlined by their own Warranty Policy, I was told there is a price difference in giving me a new keyboard that was like mine, and they use their own internal system instead for replacements. I have all of this in writing via emails back and forth with Razer. They are not honoring their Warranty Policy on their website, will not issue a refund either. Instead they want to have me take a cheaper keyboard that doesnt have the things mine had and is a downgrade.

      I bought a Razer headset (Nari Essential Wireless) on 2/10/23 from BestBuy. Within three months, the headset's plastic has already cracked after a SHORT (about six inches) fall to the floor. This is not normal wear and tear, and this distance to the floor is certainly not an "accident." This is shoddy workmanship using poor quality components, and customers do not deserve to go through this within such a short time after purchase. I have gone through customer support twice--wasting my valuable time--and both times they have denied my warranty claim without explanation. Here are the facts:- This is well within the x year period (all warranties are at a one year minimum).- BestBuy is a certified reseller.- The headset did not incur any hardships that would void the warranty.I can only assume that they don't provide an explanation because there is no valid reason to deny the claim. I'm tired of wasting my time and I'm not going to accept Razer taking my hard-earned money for extremely poor products.I paid $34.99, plus tax. I expect to have the headset either replaced or have my money refunded to me. This is unacceptable. I have two other Razer products and have purchased a third because I have been happy with the other purchases, but after this whole process, I'm doubting where my money will go in the future.

      Similar to the previous complaint here. I purchased my 2022 Razer Blade 14 in June 2022. 3/31/23 is when I opened the initial case due to a motherboard issue with the laptop not booting. The laptop is still under warranty. The ******* repair center received my laptop on 4/4/2023. No update in over a week until I asked and on 4/14/23 the repair center told me they were still looking for the part. No update in over a week again and I contact Razer chat to escalate it to the repair center to give me an update on 4/24/23. It is now 4/28/23 and I have not received any new update. Razer's site claims repairs can take 5 business days. It has been almost a month since the initial incident and I just want either a repaired laptop or replacement sent. Incident Reference # ******-002470 RMA: RZC-*******
