Easy process

Very straightforward process. Dead Mi Band exchanged for a new version. If not for incompetent DHL it would be actually fairly quick.

Fast repair, but poor attention

Fast repair, but poor attention to detail. My Xiaomi 17 Ultra was sent in under warranty for a screen pixel issue, and the turnaround time was great. However, the original factory screen protector was torn and left half-peeled on the phone. Reaching out to support yielded no explanation. If a factory protector has to be removed or damaged during warranty work, it should either be replaced or communicated to the customer.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re pleased to hear that you were happy with the turnaround time.

Unfortunately, the replacement display supplied to us does not come with a replacement screen protector. It is supplied with a temporary protective film, which is intended to protect the display during handling and transportation.

We also do not stock or supply screen protectors at our repair centre, so unfortunately we are unable to replace the original factory screen protector. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.

Dreame Ultra 50 robot returned without effective repair and power cord

I had to send (under warranty) a Dreame Ultra 50 robot cleaner - for a second time - to this service centre, as Dreame seems to have recently outsourced servicing to this organisation. First time around the robot was returned within 5 days having been "repaired" - but the robot continued NOT to work as intended. The second time around, the robot was returned but WITHOUT its power cord (which I had sent with the robot) . When I called SBE, I was told that I have to contact Dreame directly and also they could not give me details of what repairs had been carried out on the robot! The person I spoke to was clearly not interested in hearing of either of the matters! Very poor service and likely not very competent. (Dreame have agreed to send a replacement power cord in 10-15 days!

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience.

As a third-party service centre, we’re required to follow the instructions provided to us by Dreame. We have been instructed that any queries relating to repairs or the outcome of a repair must be handled directly with Dreame. Unfortunately, we’re therefore unable to provide further information regarding the repair without Dreame’s authorisation.

Unfortunately, as reference number has been provided we are unable to locate your booking.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience.

It took a while, not too long and they recognised the fault. They then sent a better replacement. Excellent communications through.

They will find any reason to refuse a warranty claim

They will find any reason to refuse a warranty claim. In my case, they claim that a minor cosmetic damage has caused the front facing camera to break.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with the outcome of your warranty claim.

As an authorised repair centre, we are required to follow the warranty terms and guidelines set by the manufacturer. When your device was received, it had dents around the frame, which are classified by the manufacturer as physical damage. Unfortunately, the presence of physical damage means that the device no longer qualifies for warranty repair, even where the physical damage is not directly related to the reported fault.

To clarify, we are not stating that the dents caused the front-facing camera fault. The issue is that the manufacturer’s warranty policy considers physical damage to be a reason for the warranty to be voided, regardless of whether that damage is connected to the reported fault.

We understand that this may be frustrating, and we appreciate that you may not agree with the manufacturer’s policy. However, as an authorised repair centre, we are required to apply their guidelines and do not have the authority to override them.

If you would like to challenge the warranty decision or discuss the manufacturer’s warranty policy further, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly.

Kind Regards – SBE Ltd
