2016-02-05T19:00:00
I had a power outage in my house that took out my Buffalo AC- 1900 WiFi router. Buffalo’s RMA policy is to send a new unit, AFTER they receive the old one. So I was going to be without WiFi in my home for 5 – 7 days. My home office and half of my entertainment system would be out for a week! I asked them to charge my credit card and ship me a new one and they could cancel the charge when they received the old one and they refused. When I told them I would post this as a review they then said they would no longer RMA the unit. Some customer support! Rick W. Miami, FL.
