I worked for emachines for a while and people would buy a computer, take the tower out of the box and put some shit, package it up and then return it. Best Buy or Wal-Mart or whatever would just sell it to the next customer because to them it looked like it had never been opened. The next person that got the computer was madder than hell and called us up.
One guy called because someone just put a bag of trash in there. We just told him to talk to wal-mart because we don't sell trash, lol!

I got my 20.1'' LCD, but luckily it wasn't the Brick N' Wood variety.

SmokeyMcpot, Best Buy's policy changes depending on who is working at the time. One best buy employee can say this but if you come back and hour later another will say that. Its very inconsistant as I've had to deal with them hundreds of times.

best buy does fucking suck... they sell our phones there too... and the salesmen tell customers they get a month of free service and free activations... then when they get bills for the first month AND the activation fee I get to hear it.

have you ever worked at a large corporation before? It's not best buy's fault per say it's just when you have SO MANY PEOPLE doing the same job, you're ALWAYS going to have stupid fuckheads who don't follow policy, or who misinterpretted policy, or who plain don't give a fuck about policies.
Call centers are the WORSTE... I hear reps give out misinformation ALL THE TIME... I have no problem setting idiots straight. Sometimes I get customers who talked to the person sittin a couple cubes down... since I'm a 'lead rep' I tell the idiot rep they're an idiot and they need to pull their fucking head out of their ass because I'm sick of people coming to me mad.
of course, I say it in a professional matter, but i REALLY make the person feel stupid in front of everyone. I don't do it to be mean, I do it so they'll stop being a fucking dumbass and sending pissed off people my way
anyway my point is some people are idiots and really shouldn't be given a job more important than flipping burgers or folding shirts at the gap

This somewhat happened to my gf too. She got her LCD and everything, but right in the middle of the picture, there's a defective pixel. Its white all the time. We take it back to this PC shop we always go to, and they tell us its 'normal'. I cause a huge fuckin uproar, because other customers love a yelling swearing angry person, and they just tell me that its 'normal' for LCDs to have a few messed up pixels, and that they are not responsible unless its more than a cluster of SIX.
What the fuck.
Anyway, i was told to argue with LG, not them. I never did get a new monitor. $500 dude.

Damn, that's crazy... Don't people just buy a car and beat the fuck out of it for 30 days and then return it?
BTW it's 30 days for most merchandise here in the US.

Depending on LG, they're going to give you the schpeel, "A LCD has millions of pixels. It's normal to have a few 'dead'..."

i think this is bullshit straight up. at first i could believe it, like some dude swapping a flat panel with a board. however look at the second pic, the background of the box is the same as the first. if it was as fucked up as they say by best buy employees then why would they drive 21 minutes back home (apparently thats how long it took them) to take a picture on the same bed that the first pic was taken. plus their grammer is shit.
peace

the pictures don't look like it's been taped up a second time, but if you wanted it to be less noticeable you'd have taken it out through the bottom anyway.. *shrug*
