Authorized service centers in Russia are spreading to Izvestia about the shortage of spare parts for Xiaomi smartphones.
For example, the RSS service reports that they do not repair company devices at all without a warranty. In “Mixtech” they said that the parts come only on order. Estimated delivery time is up to 40 days.
The problem is observed in several cities of the country at once. In the St. Petersburg ASC “Xiaomi Exclusive Service Center” they do not repair devices that are not under warranty on the same day. The display changes from 2 weeks, and the batteries up to 20 days.
Due to the shortage, unauthorized SCs raised repair prices to the level of the ASC. In the end, users have a “lottery” – either put original parts and wait a long time, or refer to quality with a loss of warranty, but quickly. [Известия]
