Corsair on Ebay (pc byte australia)

slightlyjaded · August 23, 2015

So apparently corsair does not provide warranty to purchases made on ebay for brand new products from retailers.....

I spent two weeks with the useless wastes of oxygen at PCByte in australia, then spent a week with Corsair only to receive this reply

Apparently PCbyte isn't an authourised retailer. For anything corsair related. If you think of buying anything from them be aware that any warranty will not be honored.

And I'm shit out of luck with a seized pump on an 8 month old h100i.

Here's a solid tip.

If a "retailer" is selling through Ebay, then they're probably not an official retailer for the company they claim to represent.

You are aware that most corsair authorised resellers down under has an ebay listing right? Quite often at different prices to their retail listing. This includes a lot of peoples go to pccasegear

I merely posted this in the hope that other people don't get burnt the same way I have. I've had issues with this retailer before, on other parts, and already refuse to deal with them again. This was something that popped up about half a year after my system build, and merely reiterates why I don't deal with this company.
