You see it wouldn't have been at your expense even with the warranty. iPOD manufacturer covers shipping. When you go to FS for them to ship an item for you they do it free always, and then it comes back to you without a bill.

Also keep in mind alot of things such as certain MP3 players, printers, and etc have over the counter exchange (everything comes standard with 1 yr manufacturer warrnaty) so the FS warranty is only good on some items and for the duration beyond the 1 year. Now the idea of their performance guarantee is that your item gets replaced on the spot (if its small and basic, computers get repaired).

ALWAYS when you buy warranty the employee who sold it to you get 15% right off in comission FS also makes a serious profit from those warranties, so think to yourself is it really worth it? Sometimes kind of on delicate items. If i were to buy say an MP3 player i prbly wouldn't get it because I know I got 1yr warrnaty which is over the counter exchnage in any FS and beyond tghat its worth shit anyways so i might as well buy a new one if it breaks. Whatever im a bit wasted so I dunno if what I just wrote made sense but FS/BB warranties are not always worth be a smart shopper we at FS love ppl who don't know shit we sell them the product that makes US the money and load em up with acessories and crap that also makes US the money, customer satisfaction is ALWAYS secondary. PS if buying anything big ALWAYS, I MEAN ALWAYS ask for manager and haggle they WILL cut you deals and if not you got nothing to lose, trust me.

Regarding TurboSupra no kidding they gave you a new one within the month you got 30 money back/exchange on that crap they dont care. FS doesnt care about taking back crap if it's even a b it within policy because the corporation gets a refund from the manufacturer whenever they in a defective return.

It is standard practice to label an old clearence or open box or whatever is diffcult to sell, deffective because they just get the refund.

Blah... time for bed...
