[Solved] Transcend Service!

Hey guys, i bought a Transcend 640GB (TS640GSJ25M2) on 20th September 2011 from letsbuy.com. It started giving problems after a month, rarely gets recognized. So i gave it for RMA to Accel frontline services ltd. chennai on 28-oct-2011. Ever since i've been waiting for the replacement. I contacted the Accel manager, a very polite gentleman who gave his personal mobile no. to enquire about the status of my RMA. Accel is trying their best (as far as i can see) but Transcend seems to focus on sales & not support. I tried mailing Transcend CC, they said "we'll ask accel to push your case".

In my experience & AFAIK, Transcend HDDs are one of the most reliable ones compared to other brands. The after sales support seems to be very pathetic..

I'm sick of waiting, any suggestions?

Re: Transcend Service!

Post a link to this thread in your next interaction. They might want to look into what happened to Rashi peripherals.

I have personally convinced a couple of people that Transcend is as good as Sandisk but looks like I will have to bite my words now.

Re: Transcend Service!

ok i have experience with accel regarding my seagate HDDs and they are very good in their service. so, for me also it looks like transcend only is the culprit.its already over 6 months still no replacement this is more than ridiculous service from transcend.better to avoid them in the future.

Re: Transcend Service!

AFAIK Transcend RMA is very slow. Even I had to wait for around 4 months to get my pendrive RMA'd. So, 4 months out of 12 goes out here only.
BTW whats the warranty of ur ext. HDD?

You mean duration? I guess its 3yrs..

Re: Transcend Service!

You sure?
My friend has a 320GB and got only 2yrs.

Re: Transcend Service!

Really bad service by Transcend. Six months has passed since you deposited the HDD. Usually it takes 1month to replace your faulty product. And 6months is too much. You posted in consumer court?

Re: Transcend Service!

will it work?

Re: Transcend Service!

You should definitely take this up in the consumer court. This will surely help in my opinion...

Re: Transcend Service!

Draft a to the Point and well scripted mail

And if you don't get any response from them simply sue them in consumer court & trust me it will be a bit discomfort but finally you will get much more & will need not to repent.

Plus: Thank you very much for post as I wont buy a Transcend product ever.

Re: Transcend Service!

Rather than saying that you will sue them, I say you should go about and file a case in the consumer court.

Re: Transcend Service!

Update : Contacted the editor of Thinkdigit(thanks to ico).

Received a call from the editor saying that, they have contacted Transcend & due to the lack of 640GB drive, Transcend will send me a 750GB drive. Will take ~2 weeks time to reach chennai from Taiwan.

Re: Transcend Service!
