I find that many direct to consumer mfgs will do home trial for free

because it is a big benefit to them and helps their sales. I just talked with one over the phone and we might do a free trial in a few weeks.

in this dealer's case, he wasn't willing.

(all of these exclude return shipping, of course)

I found another dealer who was willing to do it for free. It will likely benefit him with regards to a future sale to me. I believe that the onus simply isn't all on the consumer to buy their way into better deals or arrangements in the future. I believe it should be a mutual relationship from day one.

I see from the posts here that most consumers think it's fair and would be happy to pay a restock fee of 20%. I don't understand it and I guess that is why this thread was so interesting to me. The times where a consumer would say, "yes, I'll gladly pay that", are fascinating. I was actually convinced but now I'm not so sure again now that I found a dealer who would work with me.
