Out of stock on the 880's. I recently ordered a 200gb micro sd (Sandisk) for $74 or so. Awd plus cyber Monday 15% discount. Guess what. They sent a 128gb. Seems that someone ordered a 200gb and "returned" it. Thanks for the hassle Amazon and shady buyer. All in all Amazon came through. Sent me a new one for the sale price and refunded me for the original. Seems much more efficient than the 128gb sandisk micro sd. Beware of AWD, but know that Amazon may come thru in the end. Now if I can just find some dt880's for $99

Yeah bro, AWD is a hit or miss. Ordered some G4ME Ones, about 3 times this year and they were all beat up, very used with hair (eew) and one with broken hinge with the driver dangling....luckily being a prime member gets you free returns no questions asked. I even got credited at times 5 or 10 dollar amazon credit lol.

Be careful with Amazon returns. I had to many and my account was closed recently.

Two questions: Were you a Prime member? How many returns did you have in the last year?

I'm interested in this too.  I imagine it is not so much the number of returns, as the percentage of returns.  
 
A reason some people purchase headphones from Amazon is their no restocking fee return policy.  I have no idea what Amazon considers excessive in returns.

Yes I was a Prime member and I return about 20% of my purchases.

So, it's safe to return 19% of our purchases, then. 
 
Hmmm... What shall I rent buy today?

Yep, this is how they catch people. No hustle, no restocking fee return policy. It works for regular people, who buy occasionally.
Audiophiles are different story. We buy and if we don't like the sound or fit, we return it. And it became the habit. Amazon hate it and they cancel the account. For them one less customer is nothing.

Don't worry. They will send you the warning e-mail first.

I probably returned less than 1% of my purchases.  Usually due to defect merchandise and once the wrong product was shipped.

I returned a ton of Amazon Warehouse Deal merchandise I bought in the last year, usually because the item does not come arrive in the same condition as listed in the description. I returned so many items that amazon emailed me and asked me why I was doing so and what they could do to help me going forward. I buy a lot of stuff on amazon, if they closed my account I would be pissed.

:rolleyes:


Knowing Amazon, they probably use a wide range of data to calculate which customers they lose money on in shipping costs, restocking and in lost revenue because the items are now B-stock.

Sorry to hear that @vladzakhar lost his membership, but it's good to know that Amazon still does this.

Not a big deal. I look at this like "less money spent" opportunity. From now on if I'll buy something, I'll think twice if I need that.

I've probably returned a lot more than 20% (probably closer to 50%) of my stuff from Amazon and my account hasn't been closed down nor have I received a warning email. I think because I buy from AWD almost every time they don't mind since they can just resell my return at the original purchase price.
