I have found Zipp's warranty program to be excellent. It is on a par with Kestrel's.
Therefore, LBS do not care for the wheel as the wheels are replaced for free if it is likely that the failure resulted from Zipp's actions or at less that wholesale if it was the user/owner's fault. There is no reason for LBS to sell products with a warranty like that.
Unlike Mavic, I have found Zipp to act in a timely manner on warranty claims.
The exact replacement price varies. Wholesale prices on the 404s have gone up about 10% this year.
I rate the tubular Zipp 404 as a 10, because it is aero, comfortable, very strong and therefore catastrophic failure unheard of, and allows our Calfee to take corner at its full potential.
If I soloed biked in the mountains, I would try out 303s or better yet the 202s, but being in flat but windy Florida, such wheels are pointless.
