Ifyou feel that you are not assertive enough have an assertive friend or I hate to say it but it works,a male make the calls. Do not hang up till you get satisfaction. They always have a "boss" above them, take names,. You may have to leave voice mails but don't give up they will get tired of it and issue a refund or yardage!
I would also send emails to the CEO of the company.
We've had to do this, but over an expensive camera. (My DH had to get involved.)We finally got our money back from the mfg. but it took many phone calls and then letter writing. The money was considerable (to us anyway) but it was mainly the principle.
Good luck.
