My grandpa from Puerto Rico had problems with his A68HM Grenade motherboard that we had to RMA.
MSI recommends using UPS or FedEx for RMAs. Since it is cost prohibitive to RMA using those carriers from Puerto Rico, I decided to order him another one of the same model on Amazon and RMA the broken motherboard myself, which he shipped to me using USPS. If the RMA is accepted, I will try to sell the refurbished motherboard on Craigslist.
While I shipped the RMA using UPS Ground, it does appear that USPS Priority Flat Rate is significantly cheaper. However, if I ever have to do another RMA in the future, would you recommend using USPS? Since MSI recommends using UPS or FedEx, I simply took their advice and went with UPS Ground (specifically at our local Staples). However, had I gone with USPS Priority Flat Rate I could have saved some money on shipping. However, would using USPS increase the possibility of the RMA being rejected?
