It sure would be a shame if you bought new, identical Joy-Con controllers, found they didn't have drift, and returned the old drifty ones by accident.

5/28 Ninja Edit: today I learned is a form on Nintendo's website where you can fill out a repair request form. I thought the US had been excluded https://repair.nintendo.com/cc/soConsumer.html?lang=en&sys=SWTCH&type=JOY-CON

Kinda dumb to do that when they already repair them for free (including shipping) with < 1 week turnaround.

Unfortunately, that's not available in the US :(

I just used it in the US last month, it definitely is.

You're totally right. For some reason I (mis)remembered it only being in the EU while the US was excluded. I found the form on Nintendo's website and will look into that later.
