Champion Radiators Rant!!

I would question why you needed to deposit $210. That would be a red flag for me.

It sounds like they just sold you another radiator and will keep your money.

If they keep sending you more radiators, I would keep them and not send them back until you see your $210 back, or just sell the extra radiators that they ship you to get your $210 back.

If they were going to truely "warranty" the radiator, there is no need for the $210 "deposit".

And whose pocket is all the return shipping coming out of?

Actually this is the standard, usual way most companies do their warranty service. There are too many low life's out there that would take advantage of the replacement policy by returning something that had been abused or misused, which is not covered. Once it can be determined that the claim is valid, and the defective product has been returned, the 'deposit' is returned.
