<DIV><BR></DIV><WBR>I ordered a part for an upright piano from a well known
major manufacturer. When I ordered it, I included the model and serial
number. But the manufacturer sent the wrong part, and the right part is no
longer in production. I am able to send the part back, and get credit for
it, but I will not get reimbursed for the shipping costs. Since I live in
Hawaii, that came to over $40. <BR><BR>Who should pay the
shipping cost? The manufacturer, for sending the wrong part? (like
that's going to happen) Do I have to eat it? (it wasn't
my fault the manufacturer sent me the wrong part). Or the customer?
(It wasn't her fault, either). <BR><BR>
