Kodiak, you can rant all you want, you will never convince me the customer should pay for any part of a warranty replacement item. In my line of work, if an item dies under warranty, the manufacturer pays the shipping both ways.
Either your paying too much for whatever your buying, which would allow the manufacturer to afford two way shipping, or the stuff never breaks. Which ever case it may be; I wouldn't mind selling products like that.
