Their response of "If you can chip In" (particularly It's context, seems very unprofessional) Is a first for me. Of all SEing I've performed, I have yet to come across this.

They've already agreed to a replacement, so the SE Is complete. Notice they've said "If" you can chip In? With If being the operative word. In other words, this Is a supposition and Is not Imperative you pay for shipping, hence the loophole has been Identified to avoid shipping costs. There's so many excuses that can be used- It's beyond the scope of this post.

Yup, they are very unprofessional. I haven't proceeded with the replacement as I did not want to pay for the shipping.
