[Resolved]  Transcend — Pathetic Warranty Support

Dear Sir,
I am facing a similar problem with my recently purchased Trancend 2GB DDR3 RAM. I contacted Accel frontline here in Ahmedabad andthey said min. 45 days of response time or may be more. I too was shocked and still in confusion that shall I surrender my RAM to them or not???? Is there any provision for official response time to the query by customer from Transcened? I wish transcend will resolve my problem and get my RAM replaced within 5 to 7 days.

Transcend gives lifetime warranty ... you will get your damaged product replaced at the end of your life...

Hi
Please let me know.what to do for Transcend product...Same issue

Guys Only One Option consumer-complaint-court.akosha.com/‎

SAY ABSOLUTELY NO TO
TRANCEND PRODUCTS! As far as product is working you are the lucky one... The
day the moment product item goes faulty you are in deep trouble as TRANCENDs
LIFE TIME WARRANTY IS ONLY ON PAPER AND REPEATEDLY SAID AND PROMISED BY SELLER
WHEN SELLING IT YOU But when it comes to actually claiming warranty you will
find absolutely no one for repairing or replacement service. Transcend
will say go to their retailer
or distributer
and vice versa...
SO SAD!

My 32GB Micro SD Card went faulty and I am struggling n
juggling between transcend and its Indian distributors. Below emails thread
says it all...

Pathetic service from Transcend. For a lifetime warranty product, the service center says that it will take 90 days to replace the product. Even if the company has to check the product, ideally it should not take more than a week. Moreover there is system of having a spare parts to help the customers temporarily till replacement of defective parts is done. Only way to teaching this type of companies is to stop buying their products

Thhey told me it would take 4 months for replacement of portable hard disk!

I have the same problem in my transcend 1TB external hard disk. If I connect it with computer it makes mild beep sound inside the hard disk and stops. But the system could not recognize the hard disk. I approached Accel service center at Chennai and they ask for minimum 3 months for replacement warranty. whether we can get the product in 3 months? Is there any possibility to retrieve the lost documents?
