Fire at Nintendo UK customer repair company warehouse
A fire at the warehouse used by Nintendo UK’s customer repair partner has affected a number of gamers.
Last week, offices at Repair Tech – the company Nintendo UK partners with for customer repairs – were hit by a serious fire. MCV obtained a statement from Nintendo, which reads:
“We can confirm that on Tuesday 18th November, a fire broke out in the warehouse owned by RepairTech, the company that Nintendo UK uses to fulfil its customer repairs. Nintendo UK only used the warehouse for UK based product repairs and storing of associated repairs equipment, it did not contain stock that would at any point be sent to a retailer for sale to the public. We are pleased to confirm that no one was hurt.”
Those who sent in hardware or software for repair are being told that free replacements will be issued. Additionally, some complementary free eShop credit will be provided.
