Manufacture Warranty

[USANG1221]

Hello,

When there is a manufacture warranty I thought I would receive a Brand New device not a CLNR. I know CLNR means Certified Like New Replacement which is what I expected for a damaged device but my device was a software issue. Could you please clarify for me. I will hold off on activating the new device until i hear back.

Thank you,

If you went through Google directly, you might have gotten a new replacement. Any warranty replacement through Verizon Wireless will always be a CLNR unless the device is so new they don't have any CLNR devices.

I have also had issues with my pixel that are now resolved. Like you, I wouldn't be crazy about giving up my brand new phone for a refurb. What kind of software issue are you experiencing with your pixel?

As Ann said, you may have better luck through google, there are no guarantees though.

Thank you for clarifying our warranty program, Ann154. USANG1221, as an alternate option of going through the manufacturer and potentially being without a phone while yours is repaired, our warranty program provides a replacement right away. Certified like new replacements do go through multiple tests to ensure they are in working order. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/certified-like-new-replacements/  Have you had a chance to activate the replacement since your original message?
