FAQs
Does Meta offer free delivery?
Yes! If you buy directly from the official Meta UK store, you get free standard delivery on all hardware, such as the Meta Quest headsets and Ray-Ban smart glasses.
Once your order is dispatched, it typically arrives within just a few working days and even includes tracking.
What is the Meta return policy?
Meta offers a 30-day return policy. If you buy a headset or a pair of smart glasses and decide they aren't right for you, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to request a return.
As long as you factory reset the device (to wipe your personal data) and return it with all the original accessories in the box, Meta will issue a full refund and provide a prepaid shipping label so you don't have to pay for the return postage.
Do Meta Quest headsets come with a warranty?
Yes, a new Meta Quest headset or Ray-Ban smart glasses comes with a 2-year limited warranty. This covers you against any manufacturing defects or hardware failures that occur during normal use.
Just keep in mind that this does not cover accidental damage, like dropping the headset or scratching the lenses.
Does Meta offer a student discount?
No, Meta does not offer a student or NHS discount directly on their official storefront.
However, you can still save, as Meta regularly runs promotions that bundle brand-new headsets with free games or offer a free 3-month trial for its Meta Quest+ subscription service.
Do I need a gaming PC to use a Meta Quest?
Not at all! The Meta Quest 3 and the newer Quest 3S are entirely standalone consoles. The computer processor, battery, and storage are all built directly into the headset. You simply put it on, connect to your home Wi-Fi, and download games straight to the device.
Are Meta glasses waterproof?
No, Meta smart glasses, such as the Ray-Ban Meta, are not waterproof. They are officially rated IPX4 water-resistant, meaning they are sweat-resistant and resist light rain and splashes, but not full submersion.
Can Meta glasses be prescription?
Yes! All Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, including the Wayfarer, Headliner, and Skyler frames, are fully compatible with prescription lenses.
You can get them fitted with single-vision lenses, varifocals, and even Transitions.
Does Meta own WhatsApp?
Yes, Back in 2014 when Meta was mainly known as just Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg bought WhatsApp for a staggering $19 billion.
Facebook Inc. officially changed its name to Meta in 2021. Because of this, WhatsApp, along with Instagram, Messenger, and the original Facebook app, all fall under the Meta umbrella.
Do Meta glasses work with iPhone?
Yes, Ray-Ban smart glasses are fully compatible with iPhones running iOS 14.4 or later. To set them up, you just need to download the free Meta AI app and connect them.
Is Meta AI free?
Yes, the core Meta AI experience is completely free. If you are just an everyday user looking to ask questions or generate a few images, you won't have to pay a penny on their apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Ray-Bans and the web.
However, Meta is testing out premium tiers like Meta AI+ for more heavy duty users.
Meta Saving Tips
Friend Referrals: Meta has a referral scheme, so if you click a friend's referral link before you activate a brand-new headset, Meta will add around £23 of free Quest Cash to your account. Even better, you can use referral links for individual games to get an automatic 10% to 25% off almost any app in the Meta Store.
Official Refurbished Range: Meta officially sells refurbished Quest 3 and Quest 3S consoles (both on its site and through its official eBay UK outlet). These headsets are rigorously tested, factory-wiped, fitted with a brand-new interface, and can save you between £40 and £80. They even come with a 1-year warranty.
Hardware Bundles: Meta rarely slashes the price of its headsets, but it frequently increases the value by throwing in freebies. Keep an eye out for limited-time bundles that include free games and a free 3-month Meta Quest+ subscription with a new headset purchase.
Seasonal Digital Sales: While the headsets themselves hold their price, the digital games inside the Meta Store drop in price constantly. If there is a game you want to play, hold off until the Spring, Summer, or Black Friday store sales, when top-tier apps are regularly cut by up to 50%.
