[TenTec] 30 day Return Policy

[Steve]

I can understand why Ten Tec refused to sell a radio to someone that will 
probably not be happy with the radio no matter what.  Their return policy is 
very liberal but be realistic.  No company can stay in business if they 
allow everyone unlimited returns just so they can complain about the radios. 
It amazes me that the first thing everyone jumps on is their Freedom of 
Speech is being violated.  It is a two way street.  You can say anything you 
want but don't expect everyone to agree with it.  They " Ten Tec " have 
rights too.

I have read this thread with little interest because I think Ten Tec is a 
fine comapany and has a very liberal return policy.  By some of the peoples 
attitudes on this net Ten Tec should allow them to buy a radio for thirty 
days just to play with it then they send it back get a refund and do it all 
over again.  This way they have a new radio every thirty days.  How is this 
fair?

With Freedom of Speech comes responsibility.  I can say what I want but I 
know that some people here will not like it and I expect I will get a few 
harsh comments because how dare I defend Ten Tec.
