how to get your money back on any product that fails

 How to get your money back on most any product that fails just after
its flimsy, short-term, worthless warranty expires:

Good examples of junk products that fail in less than 180 days:

 Belkin (cigarette lighter plug-in) cell phone chargers

 SONY microcassette tape-recorders

 any compact flourescent light bulb

digital cameras, electronics equipment, etc


SIMPLY:

  1. Buy the SAME product at any store.

  2. Take advantage of the store's return policy! Wait two weeks; then
put the failed product in the new product's packaging and return it to
the store with the new product's sales receipt. Get your money back!

  The more people who do this- the sooner these sloppy manufacturers
will make a quality product and give a reasonable warranty! That even
goes for the cheap Chinese items at the Dollar Store.

  I in fact got the use of a very decent Logitech keyboard and mouse
for 5 years for the cost of that money for that time just by choosing
a mouse that they didnt continue to produce, claiming under warranty
just before the warranty expired and since they couldnt replace the
mouse with another with the same button collection etc, they had to
give me a full refund of the original purchase price instead.

Along those lines I always enjoyed the hard drive failure (3 year
warranty) that happened just shortly before that 3 years was up since
the company would no longer have that 20GB HD, you get a considerably
bigger one to replace it.

 
And if it wont fail when required, it isnt hard to kill it undetectably.

 

a couple of years ago a well placed japanese engineer in japan, told me that
manufacturers in japan were studying how to get products to fail early,
especially after the guarantee expires.
