I recently bought a TEAMGROUP Elite DDR4 64GB SODIMM kit, and the listing on Amazon claims it has a 'Lifetime Warranty'. If I run into problems due to manufacturer defects, can I genuinely expect them to replace it? Or will they just brush me off if the RAM fails, especially given the current RAM price situation? What has been your experience with companies offering lifetime warranties on PC components?

Nowadays, companies are more likely to offer refunds instead of replacements when it comes to lifetime warranties. It's something to keep in mind—just because they advertise a warranty doesn't mean you’ll get a hassle-free replacement if things go wrong.
I need to return some Adata XPG RAM, and I already got my RMA number. It's costing me about $80 total just to ship it across the border. It's a bit of a hassle, but given the current price of RAM, I think it's worth it.
I had a similar experience with G.Skill. I bought their Sniper low voltage DDR3 RAM in 2011, and it failed in 2015. I sent it back to them and got a replacement within a week—super smooth process! It's nice to hear of a positive experience.
