Hi,
I had issues with my GTX 650 2gb card and so I sent it to afforeserve after they generated the RMA. They after 17 days sent a replacement card which stopped working after 1 day. I am attaching the emails that I have sent regarding that.
Then again I have written another mail regarding the issue with replacement card which wasn't even the card that I agreed for replacement( The guy over call said that they dont have 650 gtx but they have N750 1 GB so I agreed but what I received was a AMD R7 250 1GB which is faulty too).
I really don't understand why they sent a faulty card as replacement that too what I didn't agree for. Please do something I am really frustrated and I had to buy a new card because I cant take this waiting for 15 -17 days any long.

Thats becuase there customer care numbers are not working. Getting a engaged beep and disconnects after 5 sec. Last time it was ringing and I selected 2(afforserve) and then all it said was please hold the line, all our representatives are busy. I waited for 8 minutes and then I had to cut the call because I don't think that 8 minutes of waiting time is the way for a customer care. I did that 3 times and the same thing happened.
Thats why I had the only option as email.

Hi, I recently had to RMA my MSI Z87 G43 Gaming motherboard because the motherboard suddenly stopped booting after turning on overclock with default MSI settings. I've used the default settings for more than a year, turned them off just to test something and never booted up after turning it on again. Bluedart tracking says delivered to 'Sunil' right now. Hoping it'll arrive soon and I won't face problems like people here do.

Hi guys,
Its been 45 days. I been talking and sending mails. I sent mail to Arjun paul and Mohit Gautom too. They even said my issue will be resolved. Still I don't know what they were doing. Last time 10 days back I was so irated I sent an email telling that I will complaint in consumer court and then next day I got call from Mohit Gautam of afforserve that my issue will be resolved and they will replace the GPU. Still no update on that. I really don't know how bad can a warranty claim goes ?
They had sent me a wrong GPU as replacement that too was faulty and now no updates given. 11 days from last talk with the guys of afforserve.
Please do something someone responsible in here?

Wow, i've dealt with rashi peripherals (supposedly the worst) multiple times before and while it was a crappy experience overall it wasn't as frustrating as what i'm reading here about afoserve. Going to tell my friends to stay away from msi as they are clearly not serious about the Indian market. Corsair and Gigabyte are the other two brands I tell people to avoid.
You can always reach Arjun Pal directly to get updates.

My talk with them is just getting disturbing. The bluedart tracking showed delivered on Saturday. I called them to ask an update on Monday, and they told me they'll pick it up from my home in few days, duhh, it's picked up and already delivered. Then they said they haven't received it and kept saying the same until wednesday. Then I called Arjun Pal on wednesday and he mailed me back that they have received it and will be repaired in 2 working days. They promised me 6 days before sending and It's been 9 days already.

I would like to complain and share my horrendous RMA experience with MSI.
I bought a 25K worth MOBO, MSI X99A Gaming 7, few months back and its BIOS chip had a problem since day one where it won't start if the system was completely shut down. So after doing a BIOS update around the end of January, it finally stopped booting.
To speed up the RMA process i personally drove to the RMA centre in Nehru Place. Delhi and delivered the MOBO on 27 Jan. It took them several weeks to find a replacement and i finally got one yesterday on 17th Feb. To my surprise it was not a new unboxed MOBO and they told me it's company policy to provide refurbished MOBOs. Are you kidding me? How can someone "refurbish" or "repair" such complex components in India? I didn't argue and took the replacement since my livelihood depends on working on my computer and i couldn't afford to wait any longer. I'm a graphics designer & Digital Advertiser and heavily rely working on Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro.
The board, according to serial no., was made in 02-2015. While the one i bought was 06-2015 made. It had scratches on the heat sink etc but i ignored all of it as i just wanted to see a working MOBO. The tech guy (aforeserve) booted the MOBO infront of me and i was okay with it, ignoring the fact he used a single RAM stick, kept an outdated CPU heatsink on top and used a unbranded PSU (not certified 80 plus) to boot it.
I got back home and assembled it and used my 3000 rupees thermal paste that i bought from newegg. I plugged my 32 GB (8 sticks) RAM and it didn't boot. But i finally managed to make it work by slowly adding RAM and doing some hit and trials. After booting into OS i noticed that i was getting random restarts without any BSODs. Event log showed a kernel power error.
So, i tested it with MSI Kombuster and used the CPU burning test. As soon as i ran the test it restarted. And problem seems to be related to North Bridge of the MOBO where it simply restarts every time CPU gets on load. So, they gave me a faulty MOBO and i'm highly pissed from this BS service. Man, i thought ASUS had poor service but at least they always give you brand new unboxed hardware whenever i had any problems. Waiting time is tolerable & to certain point understandable but actually giving some used old MOBO that doesn't even work is unacceptable.
Now i sent the board back but i can't wait another month just to relive the same experience. MSI has now forced me to consider buying a new X99 MOBO from a different manufacturer. The reason i came here is that i wanted to warn other users about their "company policy" where they just hand out old used stuff and stall the customer who trusted MSI to buy their products.
I would also appreciate if there is a way to make this complaint on an international level because i think the Indian MSI support guys simply don't give a crap about customer experience.

the "refurbish" policy is actually common for mobos and gpus.
had a similar experience with my xfx hd4850 through rashi chennai.
it's pretty sucky, no arguments there.
