    Fair enough to say be careful if you order an engraved Apple product you cannot return it, but to call it sneaky is wrong and ridiculous.

    It's a nice touch having Ipod's etc engraved, but when looking on Ebay I always go straight passed the listings that say "is engraved with my name etc, but I've scrubbed it out".

    Which is kind of obvious, even if you didn't have full knowledge of the DSRs or Apple's T&Cs so I still fail to understand why you think this is some underhand, sneaky move by Apple.

    Do you know what.......I can't be bothered.

    I don't know why you bother either
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    had my daughters etched, developed a fault, replaced no problem, just no etching (it's laser etching not engraving) they did state i could have it redone if i wanted to wait, being she was an impatient 15yrold then she opted not to:)

    Makes the little scr0tes that would consider nicking DD's one less likely to bother as there is proof they have someone else's property.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Kev...you say 'not the case'...but you are mistaken.

    You got it replaced not because it fell within DSR but because it 'developed a fault' - thus under SOGA .

    I didn't say you lost ALL your consumer rights...merely the DSR right to return within 7 days if you changed your mind or felt it wasn't suitable.

    So ...don't like it, no DSR/Apple 14 day return; broken - yes, SOGA return possible.

    Different reasons, different regs, different outcomes.

    HTH
