Faulty Corsair Memory

[Jakus]

Anyone had to return "lifetime warranty" Corsair memory in the UK ?

It came from OCUK a couple of years back but It looks like It has to go back to the USA ! which means it will not be worth doing

Any help would be appreciated.

If you use minimal packaging and standard international post shouldn't cost more than a few pounds to send.

Definitely don't use standard international post - Corsair have a horrible record of losing RMA RAM and then challenging the customer to prove it was delivered.

If you're looking at a pair of sticks that now retail at £35, then they may well be borderline in terms of whether it's worth RMAing to the US. Royal Mail Airsure (simple confirmation of delivery service) would take 4 days to get there and would cost not more than £9.92 according to their online calculator or you can use International Signed For Small Packet Rate which takes 5 days and gets you a signature at the other end for £9.22. Personally, I'd opt for the signed-for service as you know who signed for it!

Don't get me started on Corsair PSU postage costs!

I RMAd some sticks back to Corsair about 18 mths ago I think. I don't recall it being that expensive, and I got the new sticks back quite quickly. Still, maybe I was lucky. Certainly a UK based RMA process such as Crucial has it's advantages

I RMA'd some a couple of months ago. Cost me £7 international recorded signed.
