Anyone Expierence dificulties Returning Defective RAM to Googlegear?

[thatsright]

Ok, Just about a whole day worth of tests on my RAM. From GoogleGear I bought two sticks of Kingston Hyper X PC3500 512MB Ram. I ordered the Ram about two weeks ago, and thus I have about 3 days remaining on my 'Return Window,' If I read GoogleGears 15 day Defective Return policy correctly. Anyway this stick cost me $120 each with free 2nd Day UPS shipping, yet now the current price has gone up to $125 each. After running hours of Memtest-86 Ver. 3.0 on my Ram and ABIT IC7 w/ Bios 1.13 and P4c 2.4 Ghz, running both sticks in Dual Channel mode; this one stick continuously gives me 'Failing Address / Error Bits' errors. It gives the same error even after trying it out in ALL 4 of the MB DIMM Slots.

Anyway, to the meat of the question, has anyone had any hassles returning such a 'high end' DDR Stick to GoogleGear? First thing in the morning I will be calling to try to get a RMA, but will they give me a hassle as the price has jumped $5 from when my I paid?

And more importantly, how long from when they get it, do they usually take to mail me a replacement. Thanks if anyone can offer any help.

Well I'm not sue by what you mean 'swap em out.' If you mean return for refund, no way. I just want to replace it for the same exact module that actually works. Is that the same thing?

My friend got some HyperX from GoogleGear. Something was defective with it but he called Kingston instead. They replaced it without a hassle so I'm sure you won't have a problem getting a replacement...

EDIT: I see that GG, DOES NOT cross-Ship, so I would expect to get a new, replacement DIMM at the end of next week or something. But I see Kingston Does cross-ship. Anyone know if they would send me a 're-certified/refurbished' DDR Module? and would I have to pay for them to send me the replacement module?

Thanks
