Don't live in California, I'm in Nevada. It is the principle that needs to be addressed, not the cost. "Who has the time?" Well, I do. I am retired, so I do have the time.
I don't know you, and have no idea the kind of man you are.
But...
It 'sounds' to me like you are one of the problems this country has. IE: I don't want to get involved, or I don't have the time, or it costs too much, etc. I was brought up with the ethic, if I don't like the way something is, work to get it changed. And do so through legal means. Don't like a politician? Vote him out. Don't like a law? Research why you don't like it, and if one's feeling are that it is wrong, work to change it. Or, work to inform others why it is correct.
I was never taught to use violence or rioting to try and change.
So, If something is wrong, I will work to change it, legally.
Now, back to the point of your comment. If 3DR doesn't want to refund my money, and furnish a pre-paid return label, (Or send the v2 GPS and shield)I can, and will, file an action in Truckee, California. It will cost me 75 dollars, but I know, win or lose, it will cost 3DR much more to fight it. Should they choose to to ignore the summons, I will win by default. I can then petition the court to seize all their assets in California until they satisfy the judgement of the court. Should they chose to dispute my action and show up, they will have spent roughly 20 times what refunding my money would have cost them. I win again. *THAT* would be foolish of them!
So you see, there *IS* a method to my madness.
I seriously doubt 3DR will ignore me. They are too smart (I hope) to take this lightly.
Time will tell.
Good Day!
