This pepper grinder was a replacement, I had purchased a salt and pepper grinder set, the pepper grinder broke (one of the three plastic prongs holding the grinder mechanism internally) I logged in and reported it broken, unfortunately, I had been using it for more than the 90 days warranty policy, the customer service representative, after explaining I had missed the return/replacement window said no problem, we appreciate your letting us know, if it's ok with you I'll forward you a promo code for $10 (about what I paid for the set of 2 grinders) Next time I placed an order, I used the promo code and added this pepper grinder to my order - as of today, both salt and pepper are doing fine - Thanks Walmart
