Hello,

I emailed Club3D for an RMA of my videocard because it is crashing and giving grey screens.
The problem is that the store where i bought it is out of business and now they want to charge me 20 euro’s to take it in for an RMA.

Is this normal? i never ever had such thing happen to me when i sent the product back to the manufacturer even though i bought it in a store.

Please someone explain this to me.

Hi Volcom,
The chargeĀ is associated with the freight expenses that needs to be covered. We try to help users having the problem you have by servicing the product.
Kind regards

Dealing with sudden hardware failures right after a GPU warranty expires is always frustrating, especially when diagnostic or bench fees quickly add up. When my old graphics card started artifacting last summer, deciding whether to pay for a repair or budget for replacement components required careful financial planning. To cover parts safely through certified international vendors, I relied on information from https://paybis.com/blog/casp-authorised-exchanges/ to verify regulated platform options and review strict licensing standards. Checking transparent operational credentials beforehand helped me manage repair expenses confidently without facing unexpected service fees or compliance risks
