I finally got my RMA from channel master to return the CM-4228HD antenna. Return shipping costs are my responsibility and I figured the thing only weighed 10 pounds so how much can it cost? OMG!
I went online to the 2 main shipping providers, USPS, UPS and Fedex. I cannot believe the rates.
Fedex - $41
UPS - $53
USPS - $129
All because of the package size and not the actual weight. I know there is no way channel master paid $53 to ship it free to me, but OMG.
Guess I'll just keep it and wait for a friend to need something like it. Once you consider the chance channel master may add a 25% restocking fee and add in the shipping, that's like buying the antenna in the first place.
Ok, rant over.
