I've have a pair of Oakley Airbrake Goggles and have used them for a couple of years now. However, the strap has completely stretched out (even though i am always very careful with them).

i tried calling customer service, but you can't reach anyone. they send you thru the chat line. unfortunately, i can not find my receipt BUT they insist on it to honor their warranty.
it is their product, it is defective, but they WILL NOT HONOR their warranty.

It is the last Oakley product i will ever buy.

Seems like customer service is something that went away in the 90's...everywhere, too.

If you’d kept the receipt, they might send you a discount code.

Otherwise, it’s just goodwill.

Customer service in the US is a joke also. The CSR's are almost all relatively new employees working remotely and possess very little knowledge of the product. They will flat-out lie to you to get you off the phone and onto their next call and the next, seemingly to hit their numbers. When you do interact, Oakley follows up with an email to rate the experience and when you go through the trouble and submit for a cathartic release- the form errors out.

My last experience was 2 pair of USA MotoGP Sutros Wednesday. The item description stated that the pair would come with the race specific bag which would have been USA. The bags I received were printed Australia and I called to get the correct bags because that stuff matters to collectors- and the product stated that it would. The CSR told me that the bags were on "backorder"... I asked her how I could get on a list to get them when they come off backorder... she said that she couldn't tell me when that would be and that Oakley doesn't carry those requirements in their system. I said that it was a race that had already occurred and that there was not going to be more bags made... and her reply was "correct". So someone at Oakley said F**k it, stick them in Australia bags (since we have a lot of those and didn't even do a pair for that race) and "send them" and to her it was ok to lie and say they were on backorder.

It's like a bad relationship that has ended and you wind up forgetting the bad and remember the good. Then you wind up back in a relationship with that person again because you forget the bad. But once back in the relationship you remember how ****ty it was and why you left in the first place.

Have to agree completely. The Xeus mess is another example.

It was killed by the ‘information superhighway’… Only tin pot operations offer great after sales service. Because they can be cancelled. Not big Corps. Though - they are free of cancel culture.

for what it's worth, you might be able to trade it in for 25% off anything in an Oakley store
