Political considerations aside, and political correctness, Best Buy has always been among the best consumer companies about...right up to the point of sale...then it's caveat emptor writ large...BUYER BEWARE...after you leave these premises...YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!!!

It makes sense that a corporation with such a philosophy would not want to associate itself with Christmas.

Luckily, we have Circuit City in my neighborhood, as well.

The Best Buy in my city never has what I want and you can never find anyone that knows anything. If you are lucky enough to find a clerk and ask a question, all you get is a blank stare. I give Circuit City all my business. By the way, Dawn's statement is laughable. What BS.

I call BS on this.

I bought a Sirius radio installed from them a couple of years ago. Last week, the mount came loose, so I took it back and asked them to fix it.

I went to pay and the guy said, forget it!

So I tipped him 10 bucks.

Especially when it comes to those "extended service contracts." For instance, a friend bought a laptop, and bought the extended service plan from Best Buy. When I saw what she did, I had her take it back the next day and get a refund (on the plan... She got a very good deal on the HP Laptop.) For just a little bit more, she was able to get an HP 3 year extended service plan, including accidental damage!

If you read the contract carefully, you'll see that their plan only kicks in AFTER the original manufacturers warranty expires, and then THEY do the repairs, not necessarily a manufacturer authorized repair center.

You got that right. This site has some real horror stories.
