    you owe them 4x the cost it’s your problem.

    they owe you 4x the cost it’s your problem.

    so, all you have to do is make it their problem. go in, every day and waste their time on getting a replacement. act like the previous day didn’t even happen. demand to speak to the regional manager.

    go full Karen.

    Which ends any further dealings I have with Umart. I’ve bought a couple of boxes and sone parts through them, no longer. Thank you for this.

    Ooof, that is a solid heads up, thank you!

    I have bought some things from UMart out of convenience but always prefer to support my local independent PC stores. I guess this just reeenforces why the latter is so important!

    TBF, the law as stated says a refund is acceptable. It does not say if the refund is at original purchase price or current price. It should be whichever price is higher, else the consumer could be at a loss depending on the circumstances.

      The refund would be based on the purchase receipt, no other way to calculate that. Anything else would involve a convoluted process with lawyers. So yeah, replacement is the only meaningful option.

    Don’t worry, if the price went down I’m sure they would be sueing to force themselves to replace the memory AND give you cash back. /s

    How did I know it would be Umart as soon as I saw the title.

    Fuck Umart. I have been screwed by them multiple times on warranty.

    It’s a shame that they are the only company that actually seems to have stores in a lot of places.
