Just found out that I have to pay for shipping to return a 250 Gig ATA with a bad block.
This is a drive I bought new 3 months ago. I can't believe it, guess I need to read fine print?
Anyone Know of a way to get reinbursed shipping charges?? Thanks

with almost any RMA..you will provide shipping to the company, they provide shipping back.

not a hot deal... at best this would belong in a thread about a deal on the hard drive.... please post appropriately in future

Sorry about that. But, I wish someone had posted this here before, since this is the only forum I visit here.

Most people already knew this downside to RMA's. Plus there is a way to get free shipping with some companies. You just have them send a new drive first and return your drive in the prepaid box they sent the new drive in. The only catch is you have to provide your credit card number and they charge you full retail price if they don't recieve the RMA.
