"Amazon (fulfillment) is shirking responsibility for a defective product !!!
I was charged a $70 'restocking fee' for returning a DEFECTIVE $350 Bose headphones.
Used the noise cancelling headphones in wireless mode and it was OK;
5 months later, on a plane, wanted to connect 'wired' and found out that it is defective: intermittent connection with lots of noise.
Since it was 'fulfilled' by Amazon and they have all the customer service responsibilities, I contacted them and made the case that they have responsibility for defective items beyond the 'return window' and finally after many arguments they issued a return-label WITHOUT mentioning that there will be a $70 restocking fee.
I contacted Amazon back, and their response was:
"Beware of online purchases... and inspect EVERY single function of the device within the return window"
SERIOUSLY ?????????????????????????????
Who has the time to get familiarized, and test ALL the functions of electronics?
I used to like the convenience but this experience is a game changer.
So to quote Amazon:
"Beware of online purchases" and the shady practices and rules of this outfit..."
OneCall sold me a $350-Lemon; they and Amazon-fulfillment shirk responsibility

Seriously ?????????------- (nobody has the time to get familiarized, and test ALL the functions of today's devices)
I contacted OneCall, and they said they have almost no connection to the sale (are they a front label for Amazon???) and refused to take any responsibility despite the fact that, nominally, they are on my bill of sale...
So beware of the shady practices and rules of these outfits"
