Typically, it will take 5-8 business days for you to receive an exchange device from the date that you ship your current device back to us,” the post added. Users that have already paid for a screen-replacement will get a refund. In February, Microsoft had said that it was monitoring the situation. The tech giant has clarified that the replaced devices will be refurbished.
