Defective iTrip? BLOW IT UP!

itrip boom small All right. Don’t go blowing up your iTrip just for fun. I just got off the phone with Jason over at Griffin Technology, and they have a very interesting and unofficial return policy that has been in place for a while. If they’ve gone through all the necessary phone support and troubleshooting with you and they determine that you do in fact have a defective unit, then rather than shipping the defective product to them and waiting for them to receive said product before they ship you a replacement, they may at their discretion choose to rush you the replacement as long as you agree to destroy the defective unit “in a creative manner” and send them a picture of your destruction.

Now, that’s a return policy!

[via Engadget] Thanks, Jason!

From what you say, Western Digital is nothing like it, it just has a regular returns policy.

Western Digital is another company like that - i had one of their 120gb hard drives crap out on me the other night (it now clicks. some sort of physical damage- thank goodness for dvd backups of hard drive backups of my original data). I hopped on their website, and typed in the drives serial number, the site confirmed the drive was under warranty, and then 20 minutes later (and a credit card number in case i didn't return the defective drive), my new drive was confirmed to be shipped out the next day. I got it last night, it's formatted and all my data is -rebacked up. And I'm shipping the defective drive off tomorrow. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
