They have a decent policy in place but it could stand for some improvement. The way I've usually seen it done is as follows:
1. They ship you the new part.
2. Included with the new part is a return shipping label.
3. You ship your old part back in the box the new one was sent in.
4. You are charged for the new part if the old one is not received within 30 days.
Personally, I think that makes a lot more sense and it seems more fair to the customer. After all, you should not have to pay $24.50 for your free replacement. So yeah, definitely ask them about a refund for the shipping. Sometimes these companies are cooperative and actually give it to you.
>_> I haven't done any of the writing prompts, I only just starting doing rpg's over at OtakuBoards. It's hard enough doing that let alone anything else.
I probably should give it a try. At least the writing workshops are helpful!^^
Well, in order to pull off the fifth option, I have to describe all four people in the conversation and have a collective history between them, I have to have a "that other guy", and I have to have a "that guy" for there to even be a "that other guy" in the first place.
So yeah.
I love this kinda stuff, but waking up at noon is bad for me.

That sounds like a hassle and the shipping? Ouch!

I had to read your post twice to figure out how this whole refund-replacement thing was supposed to work. Yeesh. ^^;;

Well, that makes your deposit net to, well, less than what you'd normally expect.
Dang, I missed two writing prompts already... I seriously need to get my writing in order.
