Re: OEM Jawbone primes from Ebay

I just received my Jawbone this way. I got a Jawbone 2 from an ebay dealer. I bought it last week and it arrived today via USPS without any packaging or extra ear loops. I got a charger, wall adapter, ear bud, ear hook, and the unit itself. After spending a few minutes figuring out how to put it into pairing mode, I found that many people are having trouble with the talk button responding at all. I proceeded to take the plastic cover off of the product to reveal the two buttons. After pressing these, I got it into pairing mode and paired it with my 3gs. 

 

Works well so far...

Thanks for that feedback.  Unfortunately, people get ahold of Jawbone behind our backs and since we did not provide them to the retailer, we cannot guarantee their authenticity.  However, given your circumstance we would be happy to help you out.  Just give us a call and explain the situation and we will get eveything sorted out for you!

Are the only US authorized retailers really the 8 on your website? Is Buy.com not an authorized retailer? 

 

Thanks

Look, it's a buyer beware world out there. Check your reseller's return policy before purchasing. If something doesn't look right when you receive your product, you know you can return it.

"if we didnt get a real one, how can you help us out, not like you gonna give us a free replacement or crack down on the ebay members"

 

I'm wondering the same thing. I *just* recieved an Aliph from a vendor on eBay and so far, everyone I've called with it said that they could barely hear me, that I sounded like I was in a tunnel or like I had cotton in my mouth (this was with the noise assassin turned off AND turned on).  I'm going to return it, because the vendor does have a reasonable return policy.

 

Is Jawbone at all interested in cracking down on these companies? If so- contact me, I can send you whatever I have-- if you  want the device I bought and if you reach me in time (before I have to send the item back to the eBay seller) I'd be happy to cooperate with Jawbone-- of course, I would like to get a reasonable credit towards the purchase of an authentic Jawbone.

 

Jawbone: you have my contact info in my forum registration if you want to reach me feel free to email me.

Re: Beware of OEM and Bulk package Jawbones

Here is a website that is selling the jawbone and the faceplates from Hong Kong.  Not sure what the price is in USC.
