Nowadays RMA WD hard disk cannot walk in n throw to them?
it is now a very painful process to RMA WDs:
a. went to jurong, told to ship to vietnam
b. 28 Nov fedex -- collection (50+ bucks)
c. 1 Dec, 5am -- arrive in vietnam customs
d. 5 Dec -- called fedex, was adviced to tell WD to "claim" the parcel. emailed WD as such and made sure i included the tracking number
e. 7 Dec 10am -- released from customs @ Ho Chi Min city
f. 8 Dec 6am -- parcel arrives in DANANG CITY VN
g. 8 Dec 10am -- fedex reports parcel received by WD
h. 10 Dec -- WD updates HDD received.
i. 15 Dec -- WD updates replacement shipped out via fedex but no tracking number.
i would advice all to make sure that you ship with a courier which provides a tracking number.
compared to my seagate RMA, received replacement less than 1 week after i drop off at funan. WD's RMA, 19 days and still counting.
just an Update for WD RMA in SG:
as of right now (13 Dec 2015) there is no longer a drop off point of WD Drives in SG, All RMA of WD Drives must be sent to vietnam for RMA. at your cost (which is costly)
just in case anyone who see this thread in the future
it seems that now there's a new way within Singapore to get it done. none of my WD Red died on me despite the enclosure being pretty warm, so i'm quite happy to be a fanboy.

So I just received my RMA number for my WD passport 4tb HDD. Can I just go down in person and exchange it 1-1? Asking as it's been 3 years and it's still Primasiana Pte Ltd. With the covid19 situation do they still accept walk-ins now?
