Returns

I should hate money. I should hate retail. Whenever the two get together, I have more problems than I should.

I did purchase, at least try to purchase, a Xbox 360 on Saturday for my Christmas present, but Worst Buy screwed up one of my checks and my Rewards certificate. I have added it to my hit list. I’m no longer shopping there. I finally bought it from EB Games Wednesday, only to find out that the model I purchased is one that overheats and blinks the red rings of death. Good thing I didn’t open the box, or I’d have a big problem on my hands.

Two weeks ago, I returned my Christmas gift of last year, the Griffin FM transmitter for my Sansa. I sent Griffin my original receipt, talked to their representatives and sent back my busted one that was still under warranty. Well, after UPS decided to push back the delivery date by three days and inching closer to the end of the warranty, Griffin sent me a transmitter for an iPod. I don’t have one and I returned a transmitter clearly marked for a Sansa.

I’m just glad that the people I know and love who I sent presents and cards to got what they wanted. I will probably get my presents around April.

Best Buy stays on my list and yet – I keep going there. I’m a glutton for punishment I think.
