I love my 350 but I'm not sure I want to sink $30 into a hopefully-it's-fixed repair or a here's-what-was-in-the-warehouse replacement.

Have others come across the $30 charge when getting repairs or replacement done under warranty?
I sent in my PRS 505, when still under warranty, through Sony Style Store. The battery was not charging properly. Sony sent it back with a new battery and no charge for repair or shipping etc.
