Believe me, I'm not a MacMall fan (have a few horror stories of my own)
but you should NOT have had to pay for the return shipping of that
monitor.

I ordered a SelectPress 600 printer from them about a year ago and it
arrived defective. When I called for the return, they tried to get me to
pay for the return shipping but I threw an absolute fit at that and
insisted on speaking to a manager who gave me a RMA number so that it
would be charged to THEIR FedEx #, not mine. 

From my experience with MacMall, it seems that their first line
sales/support people are clueless. Don't take their word for anything.
When in the slightest bit of doubt, talk to a supervisor.

Regardless, I will never deal with MacMall again...not worth the agina no
matter how attractive their catalog prices seem to be at times.
