[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 43446, member: 211"] Re: Shure SLX1 Bodypack repairs Shure does list flat rate pricing for repairs. [url]http://www.shure.com/idc/groups/primary_content/@americas/documents/webcontent/pdf_en_us_service_fees.pdf[/url] The SLX1 is on page 5, indicating a repair cost of $113. Their quoted prices include return shipping. These charges are for normal damages. If you ran over the product with a truck, they might decide that it's not repairable, and return the product to you. Now, it is interesting that step 4 on their repair instruction sheet says that you can ask for an estimate of the repair. Seems odd that they would do that, since they have flat rate pricing to start with. [url]http://www.shure.com/idc/groups/primary_content/@americas/documents/webcontent/pdf_en_us_repairform.pdf[/url] With sub $200 electronic items, the cost of repair is generally not going to be much less than buying new. The SLX transmitter has a MAP of $199 but can be found for a few dollars less from other sources. The $113 selling price is essentially going to be about what dealer cost is, so most likely all they are doing is selling you a replacement unit instead of going through and fixing yours. [/QUOTE]
