A couple of weeks of us pointing out the horrible new system & flaws of an advanced RMA, including their $25 arbitrary fee charged to the card every attempt at placing an order even ones that are going to be denied with a STATCODE358 for anything over $200 … and now WD has just got rid of Advanced RMA completely LOL. Still no type of communication when they change things either.
Great service guys. Pay a ton for a new hard drive, and they just get rid of the features.
Advanced RMA is still available in Canada, but you won’t get anything shipped. Submitted several ARMAs a couple weeks ago for various irate customers, and as best as I can tell, the Canadian warehouse is inoperative.

The $25 Advance RMA Service Fee is a non-refundable charge that is separate from the amount that is withheld from your credit card. If WD does not receive your product(s) within 30 days from the date the replacement product was shipped, your card on file will be charged $. If we are unable to charge your card, we will restrict your account from future Advance Replacement requests and void the warranty on your replacement product."
