Compusa (no link provided, you know who they are) has lost my business. Forever. Want to lose my business too? Learn from them.<\/p>\n
At Christmas time, my wife asked me for a list of gift ideas, and hinted the Compusa’s web site was offering free shipping. I sent her links to three items on the Compusa website: A firewire harddrive, a firewire DVD<\/span> burner (from LaCie), and a Griffith Powermate. She got a little carried away and bought all three.<\/p>\n Before I ever opened the DVD<\/span> burner, I learned that Apple’s iDVD only works with Apple SuperDrives. Since I wanted to use iDVD, I decided to return the LaCie. I’ll get by burning Video CD’s for a while, and by a new Mac sometime in the next year (G5. Mmmmm.) This is good news for Compusa, since they are the closest Apple retailer. By far. The nearest Apple store is an hour away. Also, I live in a tax-free state, and the Apple store is in the next state over… so I’d pay tax there. I bought my 15″ Powerbook from Compusa less than a year ago.<\/p>\n However, Compusa has a 14 day return policy. As in, 14 days from the date on your receipt. Even on web orders, which means you effectively have less than 14 days. Even though the item was a gift. Even though it’s never been opened.<\/p>\n Congratulations, Compusa. The $3000+ I will probably spend in the next year on a G5 <\/span>Desktop will not be spent with you.
