Take them to a local meopta dealer and have the dealer send them back. Don’t know where you are located but it’s likely the best route if you cannot get ahold of Meopta directly.

I've emailed them twice in the last couple weeks. I'm just wanting to know the manufacture date of my B1 8x42s. I bought them new old stock and want to know date of mfg....just out of curiosity.

No disrespect intended to the OP but this makes me feel real warm and fuzzy with my swarovski optics I own.
Meopta is fantastic glass, I hope you get the service you are looking for.

Meopta has always taken great care of me. I have Meopta and Swarovski so not a fan boy either.

To the OP.... I dealt with the same struggles. Had my binos get dumped to the ground by a clutz dog near my tripod, this was back in august of 2020. The result was some eye cup damage and barrel alignment seemed tweaked. I too called multiple times and eventually left messages.
No response.
Fast forward to this spring I must have called a dozen times. Got really frustrated. Then finally got in touch with Erik and he directed me to work through the online RMA generation process. Apparently they don't want to interface/ talk with customers directly...... odd.

Anyways, I shipped my binos in a month ago, and have heard nothing. I sure hope they got them. I love those MeoStar 15x56s, but so far I'm less than impressed with Meopta customer support. Hopefully I hear something back this summer .... or this year. Sheesh.


Good luck!

Is this still an issue? I am interested in purchasing a meopro 6.5-20 from a forum member but if I cant even get through to customer service for basic questions I have no interest in purchasing their products in the case I had a warranty issue in the future.

I just had the exact opposite experience…..filled out the form for my B1 10x42’s and got an email and RMA within 24 hours. Sent my Binos to the address provided, then was emailing back and forth with the Meopta tech…….within 5 days of receipt (just cleaning, as all major work requires them to be sent to Europe), I got a tracking number and ‘thank you for being a loyal customer’ email. Binos arrived 2-days later…..super easy and couldn’t have had a better experience!

Glad to hear they have good customer service, I was just frustrated from not being able to get someone on the phone. I sent an email and got a response this morning. I think the meopro scope will be a good option for me.
