This doesn't work in all categories, but when the product breaks before a reasonable lifetime you buy a new one, and return the old one.
The store ships it back to the manufacturer, and if they are smart they tear it down and improve whatever caused it to break.
If enough people did this quality would improve.
- thfuran 4y agoYeah, except that you're not getting your money back because almost nothing has a warranty that extends nearly to it's reasonable lifetime, so the manufacturer has no particular interest in stopping you from buying another one.
- ars 4y agoYou get your money back when your return the defective item for a refund.
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agonot when the return is a year after purchase (even shorter for most products these days)
- ProjectArcturis 4y agoYou don't claim the warranty. You buy the new one, put the old broken one in the new one's box, and return that.
- warkdarrior 4y agoI believe this is called fraud, but you do you.
