Hey can anyone tell me the type of packaging that is standard on this product? That is, does it come with a special seal or shrink wrap? The one I found at the CompUSA that I went to only had a piece of scotch tape on it and the box was beat up as hell. I figured it might have been a return...and this is where the fun begins.
I didn't care that the box was beat up beyond belief, I just wanted to know everything was inside. So, I go and ask an employee if I could open it (seeing as there was no special seal anyway) to inspect the product. The person absolutely refuses to let me open a box that has no seal on it (if you don't count a piece of scotch tape as a seal. I don't). I explain to him that if everything was in there I would buy it but the person continues to fight me on it as if that person were afraid they'd get fired. So I proceed to go to the manager and explain I just want to count the number of cables in there and if it were complete I would purchase it on the spot. He refuses in a very rude a-hole manner. Our conversation goes something like this:
Me: This box looks like it might be a return, can you open it and let me inspect the contents?
Manager: No.
Me: Are all sales are final even if I buy the product and find out it's missing something.
Manager: No returns even if you're missing a cable.
Me: So why not let me just open it to inspect it so I don't get effed over
Manager: I don't want to break the seal [the scotch tape, remember?]
Me: So I if I buy it and there's a brick inside, I can't get my money back.
Manager: Nope, all sales are final. [wow, what a prick]
Me: You wouldn't issue a return if it were a brick!?
Then the dude finally cracks open the scotch tape seal.
Manager: Nope, no brick here.
So, while the thing is open, I'm pulling out the cables to freaking count them.
Manager: HEY! Don't go pulling stuff out now.
I shove everything back in close it and left without buying it. It's not hard to see why CompUSA is going out of business. It's not an isolated incident either as there was another manager there on a different occasion who was just as much of an a-hole. I get treated better at BestBuy's and I'm a "devil" customer.
Sorry for the rant guys. So, the question is, does it come with a seal or shrink wrap? I'm still wondering about whether to buy it or not. Also, I wonder if another increase in the discount will be coming up.
