Well ... one fellow mentioned that the turn around time at
Yaesu Service is around 7 weeks ... my experience is a bit
different.
In the past year, I have submitted two Yaesu rigs for
service. The first was a year ago ... an old FT-757GX/II.
I was quoted 6 weeks for service and return ... the actual
time was around 3 weeks.
My most recent experience is with a newer item, still under
warranty ... that product was turned around in a little over
two weeks from the time I took it down to the UPS center, until
the time it showed up on my doorstep. FANTASTIC!
BIG TIME KUDOS to the Yaesu Service Center crew. I received my
rig only a few days after I received the yellow post card from
them saying it would be taking about two weeks .....
FWIW .... I've also used the main Yaesu service center in
Kawaguchi, Japan when I lived over there ...I've ALWAYS been
pleased with their response ... and the costs weren't bad
either.
