I don't think it should matter where it goes. If it's in warranty, it's in 
warranty. 

I know of a major distributor on Amazon using a different brand. They're in the 
Amazon for Business section. Not sure on regular Amazon or if it makes a 
difference.

Yeah; in a pinch I go for Amazon fulfillment product sold by Pasadena or FlyTec 
because they’re authorized resellers. 


Ingram gave me ETAs of November 1 for product, and it’s hard to run a business 
with that kind of delay, or to bring it in inventory and then get punished by a 
customer because their unit sat on my shelf for 6 months. I dont want to eat 
half the warranty period when it’s stocked on my shelf before it’s deployed. 
When I want it in stock, it is for my own business needs as an integrator. My 
customers would laugh at me and find someone else if I told them it’s 6 months 
for product availability. 


I can appreciate why they’re asking, but is there that much greymarket sold in 
the US?

I think if UBNT is going to start worrying about supply chain integrity, they 
ought to start making sure the supply chain is stocked.

Is there a faster way to submit RMAs to Ubiquiti than the (slow) rma.ubnt.com 
site? I batch RMAs to do monthly/quarterly, and it takes much longer through 
than previously now that it seemingly has to look up every single MAC. It just 
took 40 minutes to do 5 devices. 


(Also, they claim to only accept RMAs from official distributors and resellers, 
so FYI on those Amazon purchases from "nebulous" resellers. I know I've had to 
do that occasionally when I'm out of stock and Baltic/Ingram don't have any 
inventory, which seems to happen all the time...)
