    FYI FedEx now will only except packages to be shipped in NEW boxes. I packed it in an old lamp box and they said it had to be shipped in a new box. I was informed it was a "new" policy

    They will replace it ONLY with another 650, If I want a 750 I have to pay full price from them.

    Yeah, I have used Dillon's "no BS warranty" many times for small wear parts - no questions asked most of the time - but having to pay shipping for a complete frame failure sounds like the warranty is "BS". Sure, at least you'll be receiving a brand new frame - it's almost obligatory in the reloading industry - but it doesn't sit right with me regarding Dillon's reputation.

      So based on this new information, I think Dillon should rename/shorten their “No BS Warranty” to “BS Warranty”.

      Nice turn around time too...

      BTW, forgot to ask, how much was shipping (and the box you had to purchase)?

        That is unfortunate. But at least now we know. Apparently something changed in recent years with that warranty.

          They probably had to pay the cover models more, so they had to cut money from somewhere else.

            A friend told me the no BS warranty expired and that it stood for Before Sons took over.
            Short term profit now being looked at differently?
            Don't know if any of that is true....

                      Why does it take three weeks to box up a frame and hand it to ups ?? Or Usps or whoever??..
                      Are they going to examine the frame by x-ray to determine the cause of the breakage (by the customer ) to deny the replacement??
                      Are they going to call in a metallurgist to help deny a new frame due to customer abuse of the product??
                      Ya just giving you blue guys a hard time.. But the No Blue Sauce is sounding a bit weaker ..
                      Go Green !!!

                        ROFL reading OP’s response on what Dillon sent him back that ruined his range day. Dillon’s warrant should now be called the BS Rollercoaster Warranty. Unreal.

                          I'd like to think that XL750 box was just a mistake. I really hope that it is. But at least OP has a new frame, which is good. Unfortunately, he's out the postage for it, and that couldn't have been inexpensive.

                            MY gawd guys you're sniveling about $20-30 for shipping?

                            And the rest of you Aholes knocking a company that has been at the top of the heap for decades when you don't know squat about what happened.

                            You sound like a bunch of Woke Democrats piling on Trump because Xi Jing Ping Farted and Nancy lighted it and now AOC says Climate Change will kill us 3 years sooner? It must be Trumps fault that Porkland is burning cuz of that fire. This all makes sens,e huh?

                            Lighten up,,, being a bunch of Haters is not a good look for gun owners.

                            I know you're bored,,, but find something else to do.

                            Rule #3 Liberals lie about anything no matter how insignificant.
