Problems With Seagate's Advanced Replacement Service - Follow Up to Please Read This Before Buying A Maxtor DiamondMax Hard Drive
It has taken more than four months but I have finally returned the refurbished Maxtor hard drive that failed. See http://www.pecos-softwareworks.com/a..._identity.html I had some problems getting a prepaid return label that I should have received with Seagate's Advanced Replacement service.

This saga is as if Rod Sterling appeared on the Twilight Zone. Back in May you wrote: "I noted that they have a program that would allow me to receive a hard drive via two day air before returning the bad drive. They would also send the packaging needed for returning the bad drive (which I need) and prepay for the return shipping. This would cost $19.99." At that point you were told there was no reason to do this. When they send you the replacement drive in advance, it COMES in the packaging you can use to return the faulty drive. You had no need to buy packaging, and no need to pre-pay for a shipping label instead of just taking the address they provide for RMA returns, putting it in the replacement drive box and packing material then dropping it off at your local shipper like everyone else does. RMA'ing a drive to Maxtor takes about 5 minutes plus the time to drive to the shipper, not months. The more elaborate the procedure becomes where you are depending on someone else and multiple processing steps, the more likely there will be a problem. |
