Sapphire Warranty-is this true?

I read in a user review (Amazon or Newegg) that cards need to be returned to China for warranty claims, and the cost was prohibitive. Is this true? I see this on their site:

For any overseas return on RMA outside their normal warranty with their local supplier, the local RMA centre will apply a basic administration fee to cover the logistics return of the RMA items back and forth from Hong Kong.

What does that mean?

I can get a Square Trade warranty for $20-25 but I'm not sure if they would make me go to Sapphire first.

Anybody shed any light on this?

If it matters, I'm looking at their plain 7950 (11196-19-20G) card.

As always, thanks for the help.
 
Solution
Sapphire has a US presence (in other countries as well), so items RMA'd in the US go there (not China). Here in the States, I believe their offices/warehouse are located in California.

Thanks. That's just what I needed to hear.
