I don't want to be cheap about things, but $27 in shipping and taxes for an $0.18 part that fell off on the first use doesn't seem reasonable to me.
But wait, there's more...

After telling me they'd send me the part no charge, and that I'd get a confirmation e-mail in 10 minutes confirming this, I got an e-mail confirming that they would not send the part for free and directing me to pay $27 for the 18 cent part. They also said that they replaced the bag once (fell apart on 2nd usage) and that I had not provided a purchase receipt (not true, I did provide and still have one).

Called back and asked for a supervisor. They said I could not talk with one, but a supervisor would be sending me an e-mail message.

I used to think pretty highly of this brand.
