No, I got that, I seem to be able to read. But my point is this. It's you who decided you have to get up at 6am at the weekend, not the vendor. Most normal people can manage to arrange a collection or post something without making a huge fuss about it. I agree that they should pay return post if

Unless I've got the wrong end of the stick, my understanding is that OP ordered a DAC+ but HiFiBerry sent a DIGI+ instead. And sending it back to Switzerland for a refund is a lot of hassle. I agree that this is not really acceptable. Given how cheap this device is, I agree that the simplest solu

Hmm. Your customers are ok with a double shipped item? I don't. I want something that hasn't been borrowed and "tested", thanks. If I buy new I expect direct from factory shipped. So, looks like this thread is going nowhere. OP won't post it, says it's too hard, despite vendor offering to pay. If

If I were the vendor I'd do one of two things: 1. Refund customer, let customer keep item. Shipping such a small value item overseas 2 times is crazy. 2. Refund customer, have customer hold onto item, wait for another US sale, have customer ship item direct to new US sale/customer. Vendor co

Have to agree with one thing here - not their fault you have to travel so far to return the item. On the other hand I think the vendor has to take on all costs. They sent the wrong item, their fault entirely, so they will pay the shipping for that item. No way whatsoever I would ever pay any ship
