    Dude those who sell VGA's in SL doesn't know a Rat's Ass about them in Sri Lanka, we belong in a country where people are made to believe that 1GB card is better than 512MB :lol: whatever the card architecture is :lol:

    What the f**k they mean by they can't trust 3D Mark? :lol::lol: Most of those @ssholes in Unity Plaza are No:1 cheaters, even I have had very bad experiences before!!

    The most effective way is to educate people, post your bill and everything if you have them over here and send this link to Barcleys by mail and ask someone responsible to come and reply and save their name if they care!

    P.S: My comment is assuming all you said here is as it is! ;)

    THNX MACHAN FOR TELLING US IT WAS A LIFE SAVER..!
    I WAS HOPING TO GO AND BUY A NEW VGA FOR MY PC FROM Barclays...!!
    Ehen Wht did U do where did U buy a VGA from? Can u please tell me?


    you are welcome machan.

    I ordered a VGA from abroad.

    there is a little risk involved when buying online, but stores like amazon.com can be trusted.

    I ordered a samsung 226BW monitor from a store in amazon.com called technology galaxy and they sent me the product on time.

    there are some sellers in amazon shipping internationally. you can find them at the check out page,, if the seller accept the order thats fine, if he doesnt, there wil be an error saying geographical restriction or something like that.

    or you can get help from importers in sl.

Then i stepped in to RMA they took it to test and said that come in a week!! after one weel i wend there they told me they had no problems with it and i said check with 3Dmark06 and GPUZ they dont know whats that lol and said thry bought it from Barclays and sent me there with a guy works in Media Center! and they took 3 weeks to RMA that i got a Brand Called STlabs! saying its non faulty and working good! After a huge argue i won!

    400 : Bad Request
    :baffled: Same damn thing happen to me. but it's about a RAM. I brought 1GB ram from Barclays @Unity plaza about an year ago. It had & 5 year warrenty Kingstone RAM. It works fine since may 5.:rolleyes: suddnly windows & all programs I insalled gives me erorrs. Crashed every 10 mints time. one of EK friend told me that it happens bcuz of RAM Faults. So I Run a mem Test & He was right. So called the barclays & told them my problem. they ask me to come there with Fault giving RAM & bring Warrenty. So I went there & told them my problem. they took my RAM they said they want to test but the RAM disurbuting guy wasn't there & ask me to come next day. They wanna keep it and wanna chekd it wheather it's working or not. so I went there.& They told me that they had repaire My RAM. So i said thx :yes: I came home & Repalce the RAM correctly...I turend the power switch "Beep,Beep" Beep continues so i turend off pc & chekd wheather RAM correctly repalced! It's ok. Then I switch on the power But that RAM They said that repaired was junked.
    Dumb as*. :angry: hmm :angry: What to do I called them & told them waht happen to it. You know what they told me. "Sir We DON'T Clame warrenty for Burened items" WTF! :angry:

    Omg. That is a very bad experience to have. Feels good finally you got the money back atleast. Badu ganna yaddi thiyana salakili naha warranty ganna giyama.

    Onetime My one of friend also went to get warranty for his 7600GS vga and after a week they have given him a 7300GT saying 7600GS is not available now.

    Thx for sharing this experience with us.

    machan thats chaterrne ban

    that's typical sri lankan return policy.
    once something goes wrong you go berserk when you try to claim warranty.

    I actually hate this attitude. Its there every where.
