    Super Bowl XLI - The Day After

    I'm looking for anyone that has a good story to tell about today. I've talked to a couple of people I know who said that last week they had a heavy amount of orders at places like Best Buy and Circuit City. These orders were for big screen and big, flat screen TV's. Many are very certain that today will be the beginning of returns on these items, now that they have had their Super Bowl party.

    Anyone care to share a story or two on this one?

    We used to have that happen at my store. People would buy big-screen TVs and return them after the Super Bowl, claiming that the tv "didn't fit their entertainment center" or some other reason.

    Right...then why did it take you almost a week to figure this out?

    But what can you do if the customer has their reciept? We don't charge a restocking fee.

      A lot of Best Buy type places now have a "waiting period" of some sort on large-screen television returns after Super Bowl .... I'm not sure how that works exactly to be honest....

        I'm not retail but have a little tidbit. It wouldn't have matter what kid of tv I would have gotten, cuz my cable went out for almost 45 minutes last night. It went out exactly at 5:30, the start of the game.

          I know that last year they instigated a 25% restock fee on any and all televisions sets bought and or returned within a certain timeframe of the superbowl. massively reduced the number of "renters".
          Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes

            Not really, but I noticed that we were nice and slow while the game was on, and then once it ended, we were totally slammed for a few hours.
            Oop, game's over, let's go get some pills! Woohoo!
