You are the problem.

What are you saying Kip? That if you buy something that is made in China that you can't complain about American production getting moved over-seas? I'm pretty sure thats a "straw man" arguement. I could be wrong, maybe its a "Red Herring"?...

The ODM's like Foxconn make most consumer electronics. Quite often there will be a partition between a team building i-whatever's and a team building your laptop or television. You want to talk about cut-throat. ODM's are working for razor thin margins on million piece orders. Some ODM's have made the jump to an OEM (HTC for example) when they establish enough internal expertise to design on their own.

I have had nothing but excellent service from BD with many, many interactions... both working for a dealer and as a private consumer. Sorry to hear you had problems Clevis. When they have made mistakes in the past, they were rectified very quickly. Hope things work out for you.

Honestly, I don't know many companies who are really consistent in their repairs/warranty departments... Some outfits are great at it, others are all over the place...

So whats the deal Hitch? They make good on their promise?

yup, they did everything they said they would... just it took months to consumate the deal. It took a thread on here and several emails with bad publicity to get these guys to act. They gave me some lame excuse about the warrantee stuff being in the pipeline but was stuck because of some clerical error. Over all I'd give them a C- . It took too long and was handed off to too many people to justify anything other than a failing grade. The only thing that made it passable was that they finally made it right.
