 Lets rephrase that for the hair splitters out there:
When you pay a premium you should expect, and have to right to recieve, premium service. Service should include (but not limited too  ) after sales support, free returns, prompt replacements, fast shipping, or just plain friendly and courteous replies to simple questions.
Service is one way a business will differentiate itself in a market segment. Price is another. The two are almost always are in in diametric contradiction.
And by the same token most reasonable people realize there are exceptions but in general the "You get what you pay for" rule applies most of the time in a free-market economy. I didn't coin the phrase and it's widely used so it must have some basis in fact. Reasonable people also are quick to figure out that if you've shopped soley for lowest price you don't deserve to ***** about service (or lack thereof).
