> I promised Best Buys I was writing this letter and sending it to all my

>
> No returns without a receipt.
>
> No returns after 30 days, even if you possess a receipt and the product is
> unopened and unused.
>
> The latter policy is what has caused me to write and warn all.  As most of

> you can probably sympathize with the problems of purchasing merchandise and
> returning merchandise with young ones in tow.   Best Buys does not.

> On 6/29/98, I bought a printer, scanner, printer cable (which they told me
> I'd  have to buy, because the one I had for my laser printer wouldn't work.
>  They were wrong.), and a surge protector  (which I actually asked for a
> telephone line protector, but was given an electrical surge protector with
> a telephone line protector).

> My main mistake was not reading the back of the receipt, which is where you

>
> Please take heed of this warning, and warn others.  I have since spoken to

> experiences with Best Buys.
>
> Best Buys retail store is not a best buy if your stuck with merchandise or
> a store credit that you don't want or can't use.

> Please forward this warning to everyone you know.  Thanks.
