Just gonna end up making it harder for the rest of us to return our crap. This is an organized theft setup, not some random Joe trying to get a heater for the winter because his furnace gave out.
Like the other person said, I never said Amazon was a saint. And guess what: stuff breaks. It happens. Returns are necessary. Making them even harder to do helps nobody. I wish decent brick and mortar stores weren't getting stomped on too, but this approach to "fighting the man" isn't going to have the effect you think it will.
