<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 274408, member: 66"]I agree, the cost of shipping alone has to be killing them. They are most likely already losing money on the intial shippng (they collect $4.95 and then often ship Fed-Ex. What is the actual minimum cost of a Fed-Ex shiment ? $9?), then they will refund for the return shipping at actual cost (if you ask for it), and then have to pay again to reship the replacements! So they have collected $4.95 and spent about $27 or more (If you bought a single proof set and returned it, they end up spending more on shipping than you paid for the set in the first place.). And what happens if the replacement sets are defective and returned again? And that is for a simple order. What if you ordered several different items and they break up the order and ship seperately? Shipping and return shipping costs could really explode if you have to start returning items from the different parts of the order.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that kind of potential expense I would think that it would be much more cost effective to have an additional layer of QC people making sure that defective sets are not shipped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
