Glad you had such a positive experience. I'm fortunate my purchase is
working out great but some others don't realize one of the reasons
walmart is so successful is because they take back "anything". They to
try to please. This enabled me to give them the profit they deserve. It
must be less than the other stores because the next cheapest local store
wanted over $140 more! I have supported other online retailers solely
because of their generous returns or lack of restock fees. Thankfully my
1/2 dozen or so purchases have never necessitated a return, but I like
all my options open instead of trying to unload stuff on ebay.
Thanks for posting your positive experience. I just had 2 more the past
week at best buy and office max. They HAD the sale stuff in stock. Amazing.
