Mei,
We are sorry that your experience was not as expected. We always have and always will take care of defective products.
However, in 15 years of our business, not one customer has ever experienced rusted screws within days of their purchase, so we cannot help but wonder what made your case so special. As we’ve talked in the past, the only logical conclusion we can come up with is that you have submerged it in very strong chemicals before putting it in the dishwasher. As you were able to come up with an alternative explanation, we have no choice but to accept this one.
Filters are consumables. As such, they are not covered under warranty.
Because we offer free shipping for the filters, if you wish to return, you would have to pay for shipping.
However, it is our understanding that you do not wish to pay for return, so we also provided you an alternative option: we can deduct the difference if you instead choose to purchase the aluminum filters (considering how unsatisfied you are with the baffle filters). But you insisted that you want to return, so this option was abandoned. However, should you change your mind, we are always ready to ship you the aluminum filters.
