New Hyperx 8GB 2RX8 PC3-12800 DDR3 1600Mhz Dimm Desktop Ram Memory

Hi guys,

So i purchased a module from Ebay and upon testing the module is faulty as it picks up fine in the bios on its own as well as with other modules.
But as soon as the windows screen loads, windows crashes, this is on its own as well as with other memory.
My question is, would there be a supplier i could send it to for warranty etc as its supposed to have a lifetime warranty and its a brand new module.
I was going to send it back, but the problem is the supplier i bought it from says i can send it back, but then the courier fees etc are more than the module so he is not prepared to pay the costs.
So my thinking is if i can get it swapped then at least no extra fees as well as the doubt of swapping or reimbursing costs will fall away.

Any helpful suggestions please guys, immensely appreciated thanks....

The memory in question is:
Hyperx 8GB 2RX8 PC3-12800 DDR3 1600Mhz Dimm Desktop Ram Memory

You can try contacting Tarsus, Pinnacle Micro or Frontosa, but doubt they will help the stock was not sold in SA.

What did you pay for this + import that made it viable VS buying new or on carbs?

....So an update regarding this...
Contacted Kingston and apparently the memory is counterfeit...
I cant get hold of the seller anymore...
I have contacted Ebay, sent them all the info i had and informed them the seller is MIA...
Long story short they cant help as i needed to address it within their 30 day purchase window, so they said i needed to take it up with Paypal.
I have sent an email to them and awaiting feedback... nothing yet...

So, shame on me for using ebay... will not do so again...
