Title: Questions about BFL Single - Warranty/Guarantee/Returns Policy for UK Customers?
Post by: norulezapply on March 26, 2012, 10:33:57 PM
Hi all.

Does anyone know if the BFL Single comes with any warranty/guarantee or if there's a returns policy at all? Also how long it is if any?
Also does anyone know how long it takes them to ship a BFL Single to the UK?

Couldn't find any info about this on their website, so I'm not even sure if I should trust them if they say they have a warranty when they could disappear at any time.

Thanks

Is BFL a UK company? US? or Chinese?

I've never been a customer of them, but I'd expect there at least should be some kind of guarantee, i.e. no DOA.

For new electronics, 14~30 day return/refund, 1 year warranty are kind of "standard".

Yes, I thought so too. But I can't see anything of that on their website. I sent them an email but they haven't got back to me.

I believe the word was that the singles come with only a 6 month warranty.

Correct, 6 months warranty.   100% more than the other FPGA offerings, but not quite as long as your GPU's unfortunately.   There's less that can fail though, so that's good :)

Thanks, that's true.

But the longer the warranty, the better!

Ztex has a 2-year warranty.

Does that 2 year warranty from Ztex apply to USA purchases though??? I would think it would.I read the warranty info on thier site but it never said it outright.
