I dunno if it's just me, but I check and research before I buy any item online. Not just the item itself but also the policies around it. There are plenty of 'anti-consumer' stuff out there, but having a harsh return policy just means I double check that I want a product before ordering. As long as it's what I ordered, I don't feel like companies are obligated to fix my mistake if I wasn't careful.

Exactly! If someone fails to do research that is on them. It's like voting, if allyou base your vote on is TV plugs on majornetworks then you've failed to do adequate research, but if you've read contrary articles from many sources and cross referenced them before voting you will be much more informed and less likely to regret which way you voted. Yet sadly there are many who vote for something just based on unbearably biased TV anchors/analysts and commercials, just as there are many consumers buying products based on commercials or symbols on the box art rather than reading more.
