Sucks if you dont have a phone. Sucks if you cant read.. etc.. There are some requirements you are expected to meet.

Buying a product online and replacing online requires some kind of wiretransfer. Creditcard or Payment card is the solution for all your woes. Don't fret.

Except it entirely doesn't: I've exchanged a faulty $3,000 camera on Amazon and they overnighted the replacement, and said that if I didn't return the faulty one within 30 days they'd charge me. They didn't pre-auth or hold funds.

Dish waits a month after I send back their DVR before even attempting to charge me for non return.

On warranty goods, when you are close to the richest company on the planet, "holding" customer funds on faulty warranty replacements is asinine and not at all "customer-centric".

Personally, I am unaffected. It makes this no less satisfactory.
