Refusal to take any responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement...

Spam - Spam of any sort is not permitted on the site. If you are repeatedly posting the same content over and over, you are likely spamming. If you are advertising an MLM or other scammy product, you are spamming. Advertising - We love community projects and the process that goes into them. If you want to share a project you're working on or have completed, you are more than welcome to do so. However, spamming links or promoting across the site are not permitted. This is a community to take part in, not take advantage of. Buying / Selling / Trading - Please refrain from requesting or offering items to purchase on the site. It can be tempting to ask in a product discussion section if anyone has an item and is willing to sell it to you, but we simply don't have the infrastructure for this sort of transaction. Places like /r/mechmarket, geekhack's Classifieds, and a slew of marketplace discord servers are better suited for person-to-person sales. External Promotional / Purchase Links - Linking off-site to a product for sale, competitor site, or for other promotional purposes is not permitted. External Informational Links - Unlike the above point, sharing informational links or other links to continue conversations is permitted and encouraged. The intent is not to create a silo of information at drop.com. Illegal Activities - Do not use this site to conduct or discuss any illegal activity, no matter the severity. Copyright-Protected Material - While this broadly fits under the "illegal activities" point, it's worth calling out specifically. Wrongly posting any copyright-protected material is not allowed on the site. Observe all relevant laws, EULAs, TOSs, and NDAs when posting copyrighted material. Adult Content - Just as "adult" language is not permitted on the site, adult content is also prohibited. This includes pornography and similar content. If you are not sure whether something falls into this category, it probably does. Off-Topic Posts - We appreciate wide-ranging discussions, but would like to avoid derailing things whenever possible. Use your judgement on this one - Community posts are going to be more forgiving for this than a Review, for example. Unless a user is a serial offender and taking things very far, don't stress about this point; we'd rather you have fun and engage in conversations than fear punishment for accidentally veering off-topic. If you feel unsure about sharing something potentially off-topic, no problem! You can always start a new thread about the tangential topic. English Language - While we are proud to be an internationally-operating organization and value our users around the world, we ask that all posts on the site be made in the English language. Our moderation team and the vast majority of our users speak English so this facilitates effective communication for all. Reviews Reviews shall follow all of the rules and guidelines outlined in the Etiquette and Posting Guidelines sections, as well as the following addition. Review the Product - Users browse the review section to get an idea of how the product will perform to expectations and hold up over time. Any issues with the organization or delivery of the product to you should be left out of a product review, as these do not relate to the quality of the product itself. Reviews violating this rule may be removed to ensure overall quality and relevancy of reviews across the site. Product Questions Product Q&A posts shall follow all of the rules and guidelines outlined in the Etiquette and Posting Guidelines sections, as well as the following addition. Ask a Question - Non-questions will be removed from the Q&A section of a product page. Comments and other discussion-related items should go in the Discussion section.
