My Seagate HDD was not being recognized by the Windows OS. The HDD was well within warranty period. I gave it to Accel Frontline Service Bangalore (No.2 & 3, New Raj Building, Above Andhra Bank, N R Road, Bangalore - 560002) for warranty replacement. They gave me the HDD a week later stating that it was fixed/repaired. When I came back and set-up the HDD, the same issue occurred. This is the amount of professionalism demonstrated. I have never seen such horrible customer service. This is totally ridiculous and I cannot waste more time to go to Accel and shout at those idiots who do not know whether a HDD is working before giving it back to the customer.
I received a response from Seagate:

What you are saying makes no sense to me. First you said I did not buy it from an Authorised Distributor. Now the issue is because I bought it in INdia. If you cannot support your crappy products in India, why do you even sell here?
The retailer told me to approach Accel India. I believe Seagate has Accel to service its HDD"s in India.

Your response is as ridiculous as Seagate support. I bought this HDD in
Bangalore, INDIA. You can conveniently say that it does not belong to your
India distributors and escape from replacing it. Awesome job!!!
If it did not belong to your Authorized distributors, then why the hell did
Accel India keep it for a week and return it to me saying it was fixed. Do
you have a credible valid answer for this, instead of just giving stupid
reasons like Authorized Distributor shit.
