Watch Repair

$58.95 to repair a $60 watch. What are they thinking?

Dear Parsec Enterprises Watch Service,

I just want you to now how incredibly ridiculous this estimate
is...especially since the watch didn't even cost $60!  I shipped the watch
first class mail for about $1.50, why does it cost $8.95 to send it back?!? 
The freakin' dial to set the time/date fell off the watch after a few months
of use, how could that possible not be covered by the one-year waranty!!! 
If Bill Walton saw this estimate, along with the way your company operates,
there are only three words he would be able to conjure up: "That's just
hooooooorrrrrribbbbllllee!"
