7 days after warranty expired. The wheel died, and it’s the second time it’s died…last one replaced free of charge. They turned me down saying “UGH 7 DAYS.” Any suggestions/legalities I can do? Thanks ☹ ---

which one do you have? Can you give it to someone with a warranty and they’ll trade it in for you? or do they look at the serial #? ---

They look at the serial # to determine when the warranty is up, and they’re all registered afaik. I have a 20gb standard issue. ---

It sounds like you are being too nice… You need to go into the Apple store and be a huge asshole… Seriously, get loud and you will get what you want… Go off on a rant how the new wheel should be warrantied from the day it was replaced, not from when it was first purchased. If you don’t get it replaced you will never shop Apple again, etc, etc. At the very least you should be able to get a hefty discount on a new ipod. Remember, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” ---

> [@itsJim](#): > > Then I will get you fired… End of Story > > edit: And THEN I will get my ipod fixed Retail doesn’t always work that way. If the guy runs the store who is going to fire him? Corporate won’t do anything unless the person did something horribly offensive to the customer. Your best bet is to be nice as you can then the people feel bad for their company fucking you over and at least try a little harder to help you out. ---

Considering the ipod is only 7 days out of warranty and the wheel has already been replaced I think he deserves a new wheel free of charge. You obviously don’t work in retail if you think you can get your way by being nice, you might as well bend over for them and take it like a champ… I’ve only worked in retail for 5 years, but I ALWAYS see the loud assholes get there way. That doesn’t mean they are assholes either, it just means they know they can get what they want by being an asshole… DarkstarR, go into that store being an asshole (try to do so without swearing), and you will get what you want. If you don’t, and if half these kids have the balls they claim to, maybe you will get lucky and the manager will be an asshole right back at you. Then you get to write to corporate and not only complain about how they won’t fix your ipod but you also get to complain about the poor customer service… ---
