curated pc shop.

is OEM, so warranty is STORE warranty. NOT SEAGATE. Everything seems upfront, its all mentioned in the store.

only thing i am unsure of is whether the store will honor warranty or not. thats the only thing i never tested.

But i can tell u my experience for warranty from a different seller which was a scammer. zero possibility of warranty. When try, they bluff, ended up wasting 1-2 months waiting for nothing.

That said so far curated pc shop seems legit. But i donno where they source their hard drives from. he says pre-order, so i am guessing drop ship?

regardless how he got them, it seems authentic and is brand new power on hours 0 (even after checking farm).

Thats what I was afraid off if the warranty comes from the shop cuz things sketchy. Did you register your drive in Seagate when received 'new' then?

I dont get why their pushing to their backend seller, its the same shop with the same seller ID right? They should honour the warranty to bcoz thats between them and you and Shopee as the middleman, nothing to do with their supplier. So how can they wash hands by blaming it to their source, and Shopee allows it by not honouring the refund process? Thats scammy from them as well.

good thing i only bought 1 drive from them. cause i was testing the waters. but yeah that is BAD 

that said the drive i got from them did check out as brand new. but if cannot replace under warranty, that is not right (ive had official seagate sourced drives die within 4 years prior. so its not rare). especially when the store says its a 4 year store warranty. u cant just say u wont replace under warranty..... so sounds like that was a lie 
this part made no sense. Supplier change so what does that have to do with you? if it's store warranty, he should still honor warranty if the drive gone bad. The listed drive listed as store warranty and for how many years. It doesn't get as clear as that. So what nonsense is he now saying? that is very dissapointing. Send all the screenshots to shopee and dispute to get a refund. If he cant replace drive, he should give you a money refund. full stop.

anyway i dont accept his excuse either. its a bunch of bs. u cannot deny warranty on such flimsy basis.

Thats what i did for another seller. Eventually i got the refund after wasting time posting all the evidence 
There is a small claims tribunal u can lodge a report, but i honestly would just skip that and just go straight to shopee to get your refund. It's faster and less inconvenience for you.

i asked AI, it said this
know your rights bru 

half?

How long did u have the drive for? mine i had it for like 3-4 (not counting the 2-3 additional months waiting for a rma that never happened) months i got a FULL refund. not partial. i got from shopee, did not bother negotiating with the seller which already was untrustworthy.

best offer? for a warranty u should have gotten to begin with? thats not right
