Advice on sending 3DS XL New to Nintendo for repairs.

by
Sup all. I was wondering if anyone watching had to send there 3DS to Nintendo for repairs. Mine is currently having the locking up and freezing issues mentioned hear. http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/de...

Mine does everything mentioned in the link. Now the reason im asking for advice is because honestly in all my years iv never had to send anything in for repairs and i don't know what to expect from Nintendo. I heard some rumors about PlayStation but nothing on Nintendo.

I read the repair process for sending it to Nintendo and wasn't to happy to see that it'll cost me $85 to get it fixed. Can anyone watching fill me in on your experiences with sending your 3ds in? How long it took to get yours back, Do you get a warranty of so and so amount of days?

Your thoughts and concerns would be very helpful for me.

Thanks for reading.

I've actually had no real problems with them. Twice I've had to send in a 3DS for repairs, and both times, they didn't charge me a thing. First time, because it was the first time I'd ever had to send in something to them for repairs, it was on the house, and the second time because my 3DS was no longer under it's warranty from the last repair I'd had on it, I had a 'good track record' with them, or something along those lines.

Still, yeah, you get a warranty time of a little over a year, so it should last you a good while, so it's definitely a good idea to send it in. If you need to, they can even provide a shipping label for you, though you'd naturally need to have your own box to ship it in.

Thanks for the info Nero. It puts my mind at ease knowing from someone else. I all so found out that my 3ds is no longer under warranty as i bought it in October 2015. Sucks but what can you do. All so now have to put the repairs on hold for now pending me getting a job i applied for and waiting on. Gonna need all the cash i can get till i get settled into the job.

Thanks again for the info. If i do find out that the first repair is on the house then ill send it in.
