Faulty 9-DoF board

userHead Darius 2011-07-19 01:50:37 14362 Views19 Replies
Hi,
I received a SparkFun 9 DoF sensor board but I find that the magnetometer doesn't work.

I tried contacting help and was told I would need to pay $50(!) to ship it back which seems pretty rough given it was DoA.

I am rather unhappy with the service so far :(

2011-07-23 01:44:59 yep. We received your request.

Do you have Australia Post Recorded or similar?  Go to you post office and ask, they should have such kind of service.

2011-07-21 20:47:41 Aus post air mail doesn't have tracking.

The cheapest way to get that is the "Express Post International Document" service but that is $42.30(!)

I have already filled in the RMA page, I will do it again.

2011-07-21 05:14:37 Right, I can send it via AusPost with delivery confirmation for $13.

If that's OK I'll post it off tomorrow.

2011-07-20 03:41:47 the return address is:

Shanghai:
Room 401, Building 10, No 498 Guoshoujin Road, Pudong, Shanghai(201203),China


Do you have Australia post something which has recorded information.  A traceable post will cost you quite a lot, but a signed post will cost only upto 5-8 AUD maximum.

2011-07-19 04:14:12 I was told it had to be shipped via registered post which costs AUD$50.

Also, I wasn't given an address to ship it to even after repeated requests.

2011-07-19 03:55:01 why you need to pay 50 to ship it back? send it back to us via  a recorded shipping method should not cost you 50 USD. 

Send it back to us, and we will replace you with you a new one. You only need to send it back to us.
