Grover
Sunday 29 January 2023
- I used it to try Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro VR headsets
- Choosing devices is straightforward
- Devices arrive in a couple of days after requesting it
- Devices are new in original packaging just like buying them new
- I rented each device for 1 month but a subscription appears in the app as if it’ll continue until is returned
- Before the next subscription
- I request the DHL return label print it
- Erase the device data (factory reset)
- Remove the device from my online accounts (meta devices list on my meta.com account)
- repackage it in the original packaging and reseal the Grover package
- stick the return label
- For Meta Quest 2 I returned it to the DHL office and it took 2 days for the app to pause the subscription
- For Meta Quest Pro I returned it to the DHL station and it took around 1 day for the app to pause the subscription
- It takes a couple of days (almost a week) for the device to be removed from the list on the Grover app
- Grover mobile app (android) is slow and needs more care to address some usability issues
- Overall I’m pleased with my experience and would use it again for any expensive devices I would like to try before buying.
