I tried to fill in a warranty claim when I ran into problems. No dice. I always make sure the seller is quasi official now.
- pogue 2y agoHow do you check the sellers validity?
- kristopolous 2y agoAt least on Amazon and eBay, I'll buy from the user whose name matches the brand. Of course if it's "brand"-usa or something iterative you should check. When this happened to me 13 years ago it was kind of different. Amazon didn't offer returns on memory products and the vendor display name was a non unique settable string, different from their URL stub corresponding to their username. Amazon gave me their condolences after I forwarded them the conversation from Kingston's warranty department exposing the fraud but not my money back. They've gotten better on all these fronts. Additionally they used to be flooded with lookalike frauds in memory up until a few years ago. You'd have the mysterious Sannsung or SamDisk products. They've cracked down on that too. And lastly there are other major etailers that don't do this third party retail stuff
