it's extremely important to also compare the return policies of any vendors from which you are considering a purchase. this applies whether buying online or in person.
some will accept a return for any reason at all within a certain time period.
some will accept a return only if the time is defective. some in this category will have you jump through many hoops and endure all sorts of inconvenience until they are satisfied it's defective, can't be fixed, etc.
some will not refund, but will only exchange - after you have endured months of their process.
some will refund the whole amount paid - including shipping.
some will only refund the item price; they might or might not pay for return shipping.
some will charge a re-stocking fee.
the list of "ifs" goes on, but you get the point.
even the very best manufacturers on the market will let a lemon slip through their inspection processes every huge once-in-a-while. so it's important to make sure you can be confident you will get what you paid for; not just what they are willing to sell.
