Expansions, capacity upgrades, etc., etc. Your shelf shouldn't contain so much gear that it's the same gear 4 years later.

This should not be happening. We make it a point to have the RMA process be as smooth as possible, so if this is not happening, please send to me off-list and will look into this and have it improved.

We don't use Amazon except for emergencies and since most of the supply chains I've used in the past use a ubnt warehouse which then sends out 6 or more months old product. Stuff we use a lot of, I have to keep in stock. You can't expect customers to have to wait for service, not tolerable. The RMA that didn't happen had a test date of February 2016, unit tossed into recycle bin.

Had an airrouter HP fail same day installed and description of failure was not adequate enough for them ( burned-up, too hot to touch, not working). I'm a one man show and don't have hours of free time to satisfy them. For stuff under $70 it's not worth my time to spend additional hours jumping through hoops after already spending money on truck rolls. They know I'm a wisp with spare parts in a stockroom and yet they treat me like a onetime user with nothing better to do than game them. I would go to a new vendor if it would be worth the cost and effort.

Had a hard time finding them around may - so i actually tried Amazon. Found several there - but apparently they were older units. We attempted to install one but it had the "flash memory failure" the day we got it out of the box. Attempted to RMA it - the date code was so old they denied the RMA. So I looked up our amazon receipt, resubmitted the RMA (again - purchased from Amazon in like May) - and attached the invoice with the RMA submission. UBNT approved the RMA. I know I've seen complaints about "shelf life" of ubnt gear in the past and denied RMA's. I don't think I've submitted an RMA in quite some time since all of that. Happy to see UBNT heard us and addressed that. Long live UBNT!
