poddys commented on Best Buy Trained MePossibly Trained Other Employees I Heard About To Commit Credit Card Fraud, And 4 More Bad Things

"2 weeks ago I bought an iPod for my girlfriend from bestbuy.com. I used a CJ (Commission Junction) affiliate link on my site to place the order, so I got 1% commission, as well as the $12.50 special savings that they were giving, and I opted to pick up the order from the store. All well and good, until 4 days later when the iPod goes faulty and I try to return it... At the store where I picked it up, they insisted that they had to credit me for the original purchase and that I would have to pick up a new unit from the floor. Well it's not on sale in the store - only online! They insisted that bestbuy.com is a different entity, so they can't exchange the item or give the same price in the store. And so, since my girlfriend was travelling back to the UK that evening, I had to pay full price for a replacement iPod, which I was very reluctant to do."
