I told myself I would only get one iem per month, and I ended up getting three this month. The IE 600 and Ej07 aren’t even a week old, so there’s still tons of listening to do. The only other iem that I have my eye on is the Monarch mk3, but that’s still on back order on headphones.com. Other than that, I’m pretty happy with this collection :)
Wait how so? I wasn’t aware of this
Because you’re treating your purchases as if they’re rentals, which they’re not. The merchant has to take back your used stock, give you all your money back, and the a) sell it as an open-box product, or more likely b) throw them away. You are putting them at a loss because you want to use Amazon like a Blockbuster when that’s not what they’re for. In the end, everyone ends up paying for this because the retailer has to adjust their prices to factor in these losses.
Also, you can and will get banned from Amazon and other retailers if you keep doing this. Abuse of the return system is monitored and they will cut you off as a liability. Then no more IEMs for you. Anything more than a 10% return rate is suspicious and will attract the wrong kind of attention.
Well I’ve only returned 2, so thank you for letting me know, I won’t be doing that anymore. Though I treat my purchases with the intention of liking them and keeping them. If I treated my purchases as rentals then I wouldn’t have 9 in my collection.
If you’re dissatisfied with a product, why wouldn’t you return it, though? Isn’t that the whole point of the return policy, apart from broken units.
