Buy the teamgroup on Amazon.
Fails after 10 months.
Buy another on Amazon, return the failed one.
That is the warranty. There is no serial number on the teamgroup box.
Teamgroup gets their broken item back. You get a new one. Win Win. And you continue to buy stuff from Amazon.
Fair is Fair.
It is a 37 dollar SSD drive and not a 2000 dollar laptop. You spend more more on GAS.
For some reason reputable companies have no problem doing so but if you like to pay 2-3x more for shipping than what you already paid for item, wait for months for it to get processed and returned to you and then cross your fingers that it doesn't fail again in a month or so then props to you and good luck, I just choose Samsung and WD for my needs instead and considering the price difference vs quality of support it makes it much more sense to me.

That's what happened when one of the memory cards I got from them on Newegg failed after month and a half, Newegg told me to deal with company since it was out of return window and Teamgroup email told me to ship it to Taiwan at which point as soon as I got that email from them I tossed it into the trash and won't ever buy their junk.
P.S. and yes they tell you that shipping charges is your responsibility at which point considering the cost of international shipping it wouldn't be worth in many cases.

Fair, but you should probably stop buying anything that doesn't come from a drive thru.
Faulting them because they're based in Taiwan is not okay.
I think if they're selling stuff in the USA they should have representation here including place to accept RMAs and then process them to whenever they want to send them to get fixed.

It cuts down on people wanting to buy their products. Shitty warranties are worthless warranties.

i don't know if you are trying to make this into a race thing with your comment about it being not ok to hate a Taiwanese company, but your comment is dumb. no one hates Taiwanese companies because like 90% of the computer hardware we buy is made by Taiwanese companies, but all the other Taiwanese companies have RMA departments here in the US.

Thanks - dumbest thing I've read so far today, but the day is young!
Seriously - do you have any idea how much International shipping costs? The issue is that they manage to get their products here to sell to us, but then expect that we are going to ship it to Taiwan for service, at a cost that at least equals what was paid, and could be far more than the cost of the item. That isn't "customer service" that's a BS warranty not worth the paper it's printed on.
The good news was that the RMA approval process was painless, it was done via e-mail
