    Returns don't work like that

    So this dude emails me that he wants to return a part. Okay, whatever- it happens.

    It's a $20 LCD controller. He wants me to pay for express shipping back. From California to Florida. He's throwing the hissiest of hissy fits that I'm not doing it. Heck, on a $20 part, I wouldn't comp ANY return shipping! Especially since it's VERY clear in the listings that the buyer pays return shipping.

    I'm from California. I'm really, REALLY starting to dislike my home state; Every flipping loon I have seems to come from there!

    People expect wayy too much, and I will says its because all the normal stores bend over backwards for them (and a few online retailers too)



    LCD controller.... hmmmm this has my attention (well if its what I think its for.)
    Crono: sounds like the machine update became a clusterf*ck..
    pedersen: No. A clusterf*ck involves at least one pleasurable thing (the orgasm at the end).

      It controls the picture on the screen in conjunction with the main board.

        It's only fair; all of our worst come from Florida.

              As much as that makes sense (NY is our second worst state for problem customers), we're a wholesaler, so we deal mostly with other businesses.

              Of course, it's worth noting that after CA (28% of our customers), FL (10%) and NY (5%) are our 2nd and 4th biggest states, with TX (6%) at 3rd. We don't have a lot of problems with CA or TX, though.

                I forget; do you have to option to just have a no return policy? Wasn't sure if you're talking about ebay or not. But if your policy states the customer covers shipping then you're in the clear. I put that on my listings. But for a $20 item? It's not worth it!

                  We do have the option, but we only use it on our as is parts. We don't get that many returns and most of them are on more expensive parts. We have them on the cheaper parts because it's good customer service. In fact, I'll comp return shipping if asked nicely or it was a mistake I made. But for bratty, writhing-on-the-floor temper tantrums? No I won't.

                  It's very clear in the listing and it's written several times what our return policy is.

                  I'm rather nice to work with and I'll take some abuse, but I have my limits. I also try not to reward crappy behavior.
