MaaMaw said: "...all you have to lose is $20 shipping plus a pittance to ship it back by Media Mail."

The "initial shipping" you mentioned, which "you paid to have it shipped to you in the first place," is $20.00.

The "pittance" I mentioned was to ship it back by Media Mail.

The two binders for the 2005 course total 8-1/2 pounds. Add a pound and a half for packaging, and you can send all the way from Key West, FL, to Blaine, WA, via Media Mail for just $4.84.

Maybe you should have insured those shipments.

Yes indeed.

If you send the course back by Media Mail, you can insure it for a mere $3.20, AND you can get Delivery Confirmation for $0.55.

GRAND TOTAL: $8.59

Except for the fact that you cover all your bases if you ship it Media Mail, fully insured, with delivery confirmation.

Once the P.O. takes over, you are no longer responsible.

True, if it never reaches the Internet Marketing Center, you won't get your refund -- but you will get your $200 from the Post Office, so you're even.

Now it is possible that they won't accept returns via Media Mail -- I have absolutely NO clue about that -- but I have never heard a thing about it. I have never been told I had to get an authorization to return one of his products or any such thing, so I assume you ship it back any way you choose.

Except you left out some details.

Okay, so you can ship it back -- fully protected -- for $8.59, and whether that is a pittance or a fortune is something only the individual can decide.

My philosophy is that any serious internet marketing wannabe who doesn't get $30.00 worth of information out of the course is in either dead or in a coma.

Thanks for correcting me though.
