wanting to return my recent sandy bridge purchase

[copystuff]

Hi guys i orderd a 2500k cpu and Asus P8P67 PRO but after reading all the problems with these Asus P8P67 PRO motherboards im seriously thinking of returning both items under the Distance Selling Regulations as i havent even opened the packaged that arrived yesterday.

Im thinking of going for the msi board with same cpu but i emailed scan but with no reply what you think i should do where do i stand ?

Problems?

Yes been reading lots of threads where people are having nightmares with this board not posting not being able to get in bios not showing display on monitor and other problems. with lots saying to stay away from asus.

Ah, in that case i can't see them refusing you on the DSR front although you may have to pay for courier/delivery back to them.

I cant just never had to return to scan before never had problem like this.

So hang on let me get this right. You want to return equipment you havnt even tried and havnt even used based on posts on a forums you have seen?

Sounds like madness. I have a delux on order and im not at all worried. Why? Well Asus ship millions of these boards and the pro is the most popular. Also the people having issues will scream and shout not the guys who arnt having issues. Id say build it and see what happens. If it is faulty then by all means return it, if not enjoy your new rig.

Also last time I checked you will have to pay postage for DSR returns...

TBH,it is always better to wait a few weeks after a new socket release IMHO. Not only do prices tend to stabilise but also you can avoid any initial issues.

would he not be better actually trying it then if it doesn't work he can send it back as DOA and scan will probably pay the postage costs on it, And if it does work (and it may well do so after all people dont start threads on forums entitled "i bought a cpu and mobo and they work" do they)then he has no problems at all and no time wasted

Also if i wait too long i cant return it under DSR can i, i do have a right to cancel under the DSR agreement. But scan still hasnt replied to my cancellation email.

You have 14 or 28 days to return it however if you emailled the retailer say with 48 hours left until dsr runs out and they didn't answer you for 3 days you should be able to send it back still as you contacted them before the dsr time had expired. I think thats right anyway Am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong

The only time they email me back is when i wish to buy. Any way my m8 just got in touch had exact same board cpu as me used for 2 days now today wont boot anymore.

Got my Sandy Bridge bundle from Scan on Friday, the 2600k with Asus pro board and couldn't be more happy, PC is blisteringly fast and the board is feature packed.

Very happy.

DSR states you have to inform them of your decision to cancel within 7 working days, then they have 30 working days to refund you the original cost inc postage, depending on t+c's you agreed to determines whether your liable for return postage or not. The refund is unconnected to the return of goods although a deduction could be made for any expenses Scan incur for retrieval.

I'd think it would be resonable to test to see if it works you can still return it as faulty after the 7 days have elapsed. There are always going to be teething trouble with new tech though.

My Asus deluxe is working fine too - just had a CMOS problem (remove battery for 30 secs) and other than that utterly solid (heart touching) and very quick!
See my other posts for details.

Give it a go you big wuss!
