I've never had problems getting them to process returns, oddly.  But  
I don't buy RAM mail order, period.  There are too many variations;  
it's too easy to end up with the wrong thing.  I only buy it from  
local outlets where I can swap it over-the-counter for something else  
if it doesn't fit.  And I always test after installing, because I've  
gotten RAM that was bad right out of the box.
