they are getting one. the manufacture is (after it has been all over the news). they said BB finally called (after it has been all over the news even more) and they still refused to do anything.

not that i blame BB. to be honest i would have done the same.

Wife picked up a hammock once for my birthday About 200 bucks I think. I took it out and found this moldy old hammock with broken cords and leaves mashed up in it. I took it back to the store for an exchange. I had the joy of getting an accusing look for my trouble.

Didn't this happen a lot last year too? I thought some people that worked at BB admitted they reshrinkwrap some of the returns.

We have people try to return things like that all the time. They'll try to return computer towers after having taken the memory or hard drive out. Sometimes they will place an older GFX card in the slot where they removed the new one. People will buy new game consoles and try to return their old ones in the new box. Hell, we have people claim 'it came this way'. Its often hard to figure out who the culprit is though and I will say that returned items are often re-shrink wrapped (although they are supposed to be checked over first. Maybe it was a new employee that did the return? Or maybe they are really good con artists)

Companies need to start using security shrink wrap with holograms on it or something.

a friend bought a shower enclosure from home depot a few YEARS back, and opened it to find it was drilled on both end panels, and somebody obviously mucked it up and returned it. He had it laying around waiting to do the project. I was sure he was SOL, but Home Depot gave them 100% store credit towards a new enclosure.

Matching serial numbers to valid driver's licenses or state IDs for returns?
Encouraging people to open the box before leaving the store?
Or the ever so obvious "Open the box and check"?

Sony's items do not normally come shrinkwrapped, so I can imagine that some moron at the CS desk at BB just didn't care and lost multiple customers over it.

I took back a 32" JVC LCD a couple weeks ago. BB didn't even bother to check the box to see if it was in there, much less if there was any damage done to it.
