Posted September 30, 2013 The reason why I even even consider this question is because they don't have any RMA centers in Canada. So that means I need to pay shipping to the US and custom fees. I will be buying probably a case, fans, keyboard, RAM and CPU cooler. Unless they would pay 2 way ship, I'm worried about getting Corsair products.

Posted September 30, 2013 I think you should, they are generally very good products, OK you pay for the name but with that name does actually come with quality.

Posted September 30, 2013 Yes, you should. Corsair have one of the best customer services in the tech world. If you're worried about shipping, ask them for a pre-paid shipping label, you never know they may just give you one. |CPU: Intel 5960X|MOBO:Rampage V Extreme|GPU:EVGA 980Ti SC 2 - Way SLI|RAM:G-Skill 32GB|CASE:900D|PSU:CorsairAX1200i|DISPLAY :Dell U2412M X3|SSD Intel 750 400GB, 2X Samsung 850 Pro| Peripherals : | MOUSE : Logitech G602 | KEYBOARD: K70 RGB (Cherry MX Brown) | NAS: Synology DS1515+ - WD RED 3TB X 5|ROUTER: AC68U Sound : | HEADPHONES: Sennheiser HD800 SPEAKERS: B&W CM9 (Front floorstanding) , B&W CM Center 2 (Centre) | AV RECEIVER : Denon 3806 | MY X99 BUILD LOG!

Posted September 30, 2013 Their mechanical keyboards are awesome, and all the issues I have seen were solved quickly by Corsair. Check their forums, they reply within a day or 2 when people post issues. Buy from a reputable store also, so if there is an issue you can get an exchange or assistance with RMA's.

Posted September 30, 2013 Ah yes, fergot to mention also getting PSU from corsair.

Posted October 1, 2013 Personally Corsair support is great and you might be able to get a shipping label if you ask them for it. Currently using their C70 case and their TX650 V2 psu and they have been both good. Hello and Welcome to LTT Forum! If you are a new member, please read the rules located in "Forum News and Info".

Posted October 1, 2013 I started building my computer piece by piece based on reviews/info/personal preference/looks and 3/4ths of the way through it all noticed basically everything except my mobo and proc were made by Corsair (with zero intention of this happening)....absolutely no regrets.

Posted October 1, 2013 Lets say 100 units are made with a 1% defect rate. 1 person got a shitty product. So lets up that to 10 million units with a 1% defect rate. 100,000 people got shitty products. You see, shit happens and on a wider scale there seems to be a lot of people getting a not so desired product and I'm sure even 1% is a bit large for a defect rate. Corsair is a respectable company in my eyes so I say go with their "newer" products, Haswell optimized so things run smoother.

Posted October 1, 2013 Corsair has pretty good customer support. Don't worry about shipping, ask them about a prepaid shipping label and then the only cost you need to endure is that of bubble wrap I personally am pretty happy with them.

Posted October 1, 2013 I have owned many Corsair products and have dealt with their RMA, tech and customer service departments a number of times in the past. I feel your pain as a fellow Canadian having to pay for one way shipping. On something like a stick of RAM or mouse it is only a couple of bucks, but a case or keyboard would be much more. If you do encounter issues and have to RMA a product, give them a call and explain the situation (you bought a lot of products from them) and live in Canada; request a shipping label and a lot of the time they will cover all shipping charges for you. They covered the shipping charges on my speakers no questions asked as well as an H80 cooler I had to return. Corsair makes excellent products and back them up with equivalent support. | Currently no gaming rig | Dell XPS 13 (9343) | | Samsung Galaxy Note5 | Gear VR | Nvidia Shield Tab | Xbox One | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 1, 2013 Corsair has very good quality products, but they are little overpriced.
