That's the way to build consumer loyalty. LOL There is a 15% restocking fee on laptops ONLY. The reason for this was that students were coming in, buying a laptop, writing a report on it and then returning it. Let's put it thus way. I don't care what site you order from, you have to pay shipping and if you return that product and it is NOT defective, you are charged a restocking fee. Best Buy does not do this (unless the product is missing some parts), they just absorb the lost.
