Incidentally, how do Corsair identify the original purchaser? Do they
track the chips by serial number? Do they demand a receipt from their
own online store?

Memory vendors usually track RMA returns by the original invoice number of
the
memory purchase. Some vendors such as Kingston and Viking do not track
serial numbers or invoice
numbers for their RMA return. You just go online and fill-out an online RMA
form. That's it.
