Need Help With Logitech M305 wireless mouse I'm Done

Logitech M305 cordless mouse http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826104348 $21 Shipping: $1.99 That's pretty cheap shipping, plus if you return it for exchange then you probably don't have to pay the shipping to get it to you. What you pay would be the shipping to send in the defective unit. Don't know where you live but shipping might be a lot cheaper than the cost of getting another same-model mouse. USPS Priority Mail Small Box Flat Rate (if the mouse fits inside it) would be $5.20 (plus $0.70 if you include Delivery Confirmation). No need to include insurance on what is probably a broken item. USPS Parcel Post (in case you need a bigger box) would be around $6.18 (w/Delivery Confirm). So returning the item could cost you less than a third of buying another mouse. Depending on where you bought the mouse, you may or may not have to pay for the shipping cost to get the replacement item sent to you. For example, if you bought from Newegg, you pay the shipping cost to send the defective unit back to them but you do not pay the shipping cost to get the replacement sent from them to you. In fact, I can't remember ever having to pay for the shipping to get the warranty replacement sent to me. So you're only cost is the shipping to get the defective unit the seller (if within their return/exchange policy period) or to the manufacturer. You would have to be some rather remote location to have your shipping cost as much as for this mouse. Don't buy from dailysteals.com Never heard of them. While I can search around for the cheapest online price, that's not my only criteria regarding from WHERE to make the purchase. I'd rather pay a little more for an etailer that has a good reputation. While Newegg may not always be the one with the rock bottom price for an item, their reputation and reliability is worth a slightly higher cost for an item. How much cheaper was the Logitech M305 mouse from dailysteals.com (for BOTH the price *and* shipping) than the $22.99 cost (price + shipping) from Newegg? Unlike a normal etailer, the dailysteals.com site doesn't really list what are their return/exchange policies. They just vaguely mentioning sending them an e-mail or calling thei Sales folk. From their FAQ page, it looks like they expect you to return the defective item to the manufacturer under the terms of the warranty. In contrast, etailers usually have a return/exchange policy with *them*: you get the replacement from the etailer, not by waiting 6-10 weeks for the manufacturer to send you a replacement. I should have known better. Sure doesn't look like a site that I'd trust with my money ... or with my credit card, either. I paid 4.99 plus 4.99 shipping. Big Fred |

Big Fred Yep, it's a toss-away bad mouse. $5 for a Logitech? I suspect they just wanted your credit card number... -- -- Ed Mc Nam Vet '66-'67 Semper Fi |

Big Fred Dailysteals has contacted me to say they are sending me a RMA packet in which to return the louse, and will send me another or a refund. Can't expect any more I guess. Big Fred |

Big Fred Well - here it now has been two weeks, and I have not received any RMA or any other communication from DAILYSTEALS. So - I would say my warning holds - watch out. CAVEAT EMPTOR. Big Fred |
