Shipping from Spain to netherland are around 50 euro 1/2 ssd cost. Hope you can understand that that kind of costs for a RMA have no sense. I had another RMA with kingston and they sent me a label for free shipping to uk. How im suppose to buy a gskill product if it will cost me 150% in case of RMA?.

we will take your advice to the RMA department, sorry for the inconvenient for the shipping.
