Nice way to misrepresent a quote.
I'd say this post is a clear cut personal attack, would be nice to see a mod take care of it.

Sucks to be out the $$ but you should've RMA'd to XFX. I could possibly have made the same mistake, but now I won't. Thanks!

Why would I look under additional return info when my order was eligible for RMA and they sent me an RMA #? The standard RMA return policy makes no mention of the UPC.
It's a good thing that there isn't another additional info under additional return info saying they have the right to charge $10,000 from my account at newegg's discretion
Hmmm, I think I did purchase the video card directly from newegg.com? Maybe that new medication is not working like it's supposed to....

I've done hundreds of rebates and scores of returns. Never ran into this problem before.
Missing the UPC is not plainly posted at newegg for being a reason not to accept a replacement RMA. They advertise the RMA enticing you to buy their product at a discounted price. Seems like it would be responsible and ethical to make a simple warning stating that if you use the UPC for a rebate this will void newegg's standard warranty.

They would take a MASSIVE loss.

Only if I wanted a refund. I don't want a refund. The card broke, it was supposed to have a standard vga warranty, I wanted it replaced. I fail to see how that is going to cost newegg any more money regardless of the rebate status.
If XFX doesn't require the UPC for a replacement from an end user, why would they require the UPC from an online vendor like newegg?

That's not a knock on Newegg imo regardless of your bountiful business, its a knock on you for being a rebate sucker.
Inability to return an item to the retailer without the upc is part of the rebate business model that helps make them attractive to offer to customers.
Solution: Stop doing rebates or only do them when you have ample time to use the product before sending the rebate in.

Did you call them, or are you just bitching because they followed their policy and you don't like it?
This item is covered by Newegg.com's VGA Standard Return Policy.
Return for refund within: 30 days
Return for replacement within: 30 days
You mean this policy? That's right, the XFX HD 4870 1GB at newegg has this listed under the warranty.
There is no statement saying this video card by this particular manufacturer is not warranted by them, only through the manufacturer and the end user. That was only mentioned in their sorry e-mail.
Like I said, if removing the UPC is their excuse for not standing behind the warranty, they should have a warning for this in the same place they advertise the manufacturer's rebate.
Maybe this is what is known to be "standard policy", but I have never ran into this before. And I know that I have ordered a lot more parts from newegg than the average person.
I stand behind any warranty period that I give at my business. If something breaks within that said period and shows no physical signs of altering/modifying or abuse, I replace it no questions asked. I don't care if they got a rebate or not, a warranty is just that unless stated otherwise.

Find me ANY store that will take a product back for return or exchange with the UPC code missing. I mean, how would they even scan it into their inventory system (which is generally based entirely off bar code scans)?
