Quote:Hello everyone. I decided I would make a revamped tutorial today on the Blue Yeti Microphone. The old one posted by Bobrichards does not work very well. So this is my revamped tut.
Still giving Bobrichards credit for finding out they were SEable!
Please note you will need the following:
Photoshop
A Brain
This is a long tut! If you do not have the required items you can not do this tut. A brain is vital for this tutorial. I pretty much breast fed you guys here but I can imagine someone PMing me saying "make me a shipping receipt bro". I did this all within a day and it got shipped out the next day!
Lets get on with the tut.
Steps:
1. Head over to http://www.bluemic.com/salesandsuppo...icerequest.php (May be different if not in US)
2. Fill out the information and say something along the lines of "The microphone will not work. It is not being detected by my computer. I even tried it on several other computers including a mac, a laptop, and my dads desktop"
3. They will go over some troubleshooting steps and just say "Nothing is working"
4. They will ask to setup an RMA. Tell them that you need it in a hurry like "I do a lot of youtube reviews with this beautiful microphone to keep my viewers happy with the sound quality. I would be really happy if I could get the microphone asap!"
5. They will say something like. "Ok we can do cross shipping, what that means is that you ship it to us then when you get a tracking number send that to us and we can send you out a new one!"
6. Say something like "Ok great! I will ship it out tomorrow!" P.S Make sure the day you are going to ship it out is not sunday or saturday lol.
7. Look in the email they sent or their website for a RMA address
8. This is where photoshop is involved. Download my shipping template here: http://www.mediafire.com/?cdq49f6pwcqlyka
9. Now open up the template and edit the setting to your liking. This is where you need some knowledge. You need to edit dates and cites and everything. Make sure it looks legit as possible. I cannot really show you exactly what to do considering I do not have photoshop installed. I just got a new computer for xmas and have to redownload everything.
10. To calculate shipping go here http://postcalc.usps.gov/
11. It is a lot of work ik but now you need to get the shipping dimensions and estimate the weight of the box. From amazon it says this:
Product Dimensions: 5 x 5.5 x 10 inches ; 3.5 pounds
Shipping Weight: 5.2 pounds
12. Edit the receipt so the weight is around 5.3 pounds
13. Use the shipping calculator to calculate the cost of the shipping.
14. After everything is done, download GIMP 2 and use the blur tool to blur out the receipt to make it a little more legit.
15. Save the photo and upload it to photobucket or just screen cap it with speedcap.
16. Email them back saying something like I did: "Hello! I shipped the item out today but the shipping was around ____ *(enter your shipping cost here)*, I am on a tight budget for my wifes birthday so I need to save as much money as possible. I am so sorry but I did not get a tracking number. Is it possible I can still get the microphone?"
17. They should say "No problem! We understand the situation you are in. Can you please send us a receipt to verify that you shipped it out?"
18. Play dumb and say "Sure I have this old scanner and I can upload the receipt. *Attach pic to email*
19. They should say everything is fine and they will ship out your brand new Yeti.
