POV poor RMA experience

[smee]

Well just contacted Point of view with replacing my OcUK GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) which i purchased in May 2007 and been told

Dear Customer,

Repair charge: Euro 25.00 ex vat.(and possible banktransfer cost)
Customer pays for shipment to Point of View.
Point of View pays for shipment to customer.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

what's the point of a 3 year warranty when they wont back it up. Just makes me glad the next card i bought was a BFG ( outstanding RMA ). POV waste of paper of a warranty won't be bothering with them next time.

sory should have been 2007 either way said 3 years when bought

 

[smee]

overclockers said they would have given a years warranty on the card. Suppose you pay for what you get

 

[smee]

Not sure about this, my POV 8800GTS 512MB only has 1 year warranty.

1 year's warranty that's awful. They should have more confidence in a product, I wouldn't buy one with just one year warranty. Think they are taking the ****.

on going.

Dear Customer,
Point of View has a warranty of 3 years on graphic cards.
Only in the 3the year there are some cost.(As stated in our RMA policy,that we have with the reseller)
RMA Policy:
VGA Cards
1st year by exchange or credit.
2nd year by repair or exchange. If it is not possible to exchange for an equal product it will be exchanged to a comparable/similar model or exchanged for a higher quality model.
Products older than 24 months will be repaired conform charges provided by Point of View and upon mutual agreement.

Well their's the next reply, so when you think you get 3 years means they are going to change it to what they think it should be. waste of money

Card went into the bin so have to put to experience, poor experience in my view
