That internal Memo from Nintendo anyway pretty much means at most you'll have to miss out on having your joycons for around 4 days while they get repaired, if missing the ability to play the console for 4 days was such a huge issue then this person probably wouldn't be 2 and a half years into the lifespan of it without buying the thing.

4 days?  Probably more like 4 weeks.

taken from the reddit thread of someone asking the question how long does it take to get a repair done on the Switch

Lucky. My shipping has been painfully slow.

Haven't had my Switch repaired, but I sent my 3DS back, and total time from the RMA being created to my 3DS arriving back at my house was six days. Central US here.

3 business days. Sent two left Joy-Con one at a time. 2 day air UPS to them and next day UPS back.

It bothers me how some people get 2 day shipping while I had to wait an entire week just for mine to arrive at the repair center.

Sent both Joy-Cons in last Thursday, got to their shop Monday, got back to me Thursday."

One person, the OP is the one mentioning there's took a week to arrive at the repair center, which.... tbh sounds more like a mail issue that would be completely out of Nintendos hands to do anything about.

Everyone else seems to clock in somewhere around a week.

Unless you have an explanation for your post other than "what you imagine"

Heck even sending back a RRoD'd X360 didn't even take a fortnight to get back to me if I remember from either time I had to deal with it.
