    Default What if your pretty girlfriend said, "SEND IT ALL BACK!"

    I got the tape from Zpacks but I thought I would propose the above scenario so that we could start a new five star thread for whiteblaze.com.

    What would you do if if showed your younger prettier half the thread on the Zpack pack that got damaged and she said you need to send back the whole thing?

    You and her will probably find nothing but Zpack types the rest of your life.
    I am not young enough to know everything.

    I don't think it will change the majority opinion that you caused the damage, not Zpacks.

    I took this wrong. I thought you meant if your pretty girlfriend was demanding you send all your gear back and stop hiking.

    I don't know if I should laugh, cry, or both. I just don't understand the lack of responsibility. Nor do I understand the need for you to try and justify your inability to open a box by posting a thread THEN posting another one after all of the response you got on the first one saying your girlfriend agrees with you. Shes either just as irresponsible as you or the fact that shes your girlfriend and doesn't want to make you look like a mor... careless individual for tearing into a box of delicate goods. I am baffled.

    next time you open a package place package close to your....ope! that was going to be a nasty little comment.

    You can TRY and send it back but I would put a large some of money on zpacks rejecting your return, and that if you wanted your openfail backpack back, you would need to pay for shipping. And what does a pretty girlfriend have to do with any of this? What if she was an ugly girlfriend?

    a pretty face doesn't make her logic any more sound than yours.

    Just because you send the whole thing back doesn't mean you're going to get a whole refund back.

    You should expect a seller to withhold from a refund the value of anything they believed to have been damaged by the customer.

    For this specific situation, had you never contacted the seller and simply sent everything back, there is a chance the damage would either have been missed or the seller simply decide it's not worth the hassle and given you a full refund.

    But because the seller has already spent time and coin (merchandise and shipping cost) on this situation, I doubt you would get a full refund if you sent everything back.

    I think that thru hiking the AT requires a much higher level of problem solving skills than that. And I haven't even done a thru hike yet. Or even a section hike. But maybe I'm just worrying too much and a thru hike is actually as easy as you make it appear.

    No. No we don't.

    An 8x10 DCF stuff sack is about $20. If you want, we can do a bake sale or something...
