Just wanted to ask the members here their opinion on this :

I had a video card fan die on me, so requested the seller to do a warranty claim for me. It's now been pending for one month ++ with no information provided besides the seller saying he's busy, spare parts unavailable and incoming still. How long is a reasonable time before one gets fed-up with the slow pace of the warranty claim? The card is around 9 months old, so is still covered within the warranty period. In any case, this is should be a warning that more expensive items are somewhat less secure to buy off forums.

....warranty by him or the distributor?
cause if it is the distributor then the distributor will normally provide a special form with the details and S/N of the product.

perhaps you could ask a copy of the form as evidence that he sent for warranty?

if its his personal warranty then......gotta chase after him already

He seems to be the only one bringing in that particular brand, so he's the distributor as well unfortunately.
