I haven't in years, I only did this time because they had a decent deal on a Hauppauge card I wanted, and I knew if I had a problem they were just down the street and I could go there to yell if needed.
Bought the card online, had it shipped to me, installed it, have been using it for over TWO MONTHS now. A few days ago I start receiving calls that show up on my CID as "Ciruit City", first few times while I was at work, they don't leave a message. They apparantly figured out when I work and when I don't, cause they now call in the evenings. Last Friday, the first time I was home when they called, I picked up and it was some sort of Customer whatever rep wanting to know how the card was doing, and when I said fine thanks for asking she "reminded" me that I could get an extended warranty on it just to make sure if something did happen I'd be covered. I said no, I'm all set, but thanks for taking the time to check. They called back Saturday, same thing, different rep. I told her no, I talked to someone yesterday, and told them no. They just called AGAIN, some guy named Ted this time, same exact deal. Instead of answering his questions I started asking him if they actually had updated their records to show that I had said no already, if they had a three strike rule before they'd give up on me, or if they were just intent on being one of the most annoying companies on the planet. He said they just wanted to make sure I was happy with my purchase, so I said to stop calling and I'd be happy.
Cliffnotes for the lazy:
1 - Bought a card at CC online
2 - Two months later they call offering warranties
3 - I say no...multiple times
4 - They keep calling
5 - I once again stop shopping at CC
