I don't even send products back I don't like (actually, this would be the case for maybe 30% to 50% of my gadgets. Acer Iconia and Asus EeePad Transformer for example I haven't used even once, after testing them the very first day. And I find the rate of low quality and disappointing products gets bigger in an alarming rate).
I'm more of a "I decided for it, I stick to it (if it's without technical defects of course)" kind of guy.
I'd even say, some failure once in a while makes the hits even more appealing. But to each his own...

Thanks MGM, I agree! Karma to you.
I can't help but think the price of goods sold has factored in the cost of returns, so we all end up paying for the leeches that buy something, use it for 13 or 29 or 89 days then bring it back soiled for a full refund.
I have a sister-in-law who used to brag about buying something from Macy’s using it for a month, taking it back, and then buying the very same item back from the basement for half the price.
