Attempting serial number replacement. - maddylok - 02-26-2024
I'm trying to do a replacement on a hardware company for a tool.
Told them the motor smoked and it caught fire and I had to use an extinguisher on it.
I sent them proof of purchase (via amazon) and the serial number.
I am pretty sure they will want me to return it for a replacement, is there anyway I can get out of sending it back?
Say the shipping service said it was hazardous material so they couldn't ship it?
If it comes down to worse then i'll do FTIDv3 to a nearby address for the return.

they don't care about cost of replacement unit when you mention something crazy like fire, they're concerned with a defect that might exist in their production line and want to check it out for a possible recall, it's manufacturers biggest nightmare.

new update, i recalled the company and got another representative.
this woman is now sending me a part to replace in my machine (that i do not actually own) and see if it fixes the problem
I think once I say it didn't fix the problem they would either mail me a new one to get it exchanged.

Any time you say something crazy that could be a danger they take it seriously and investigate because they don't want to get a class action lawsuit.
