#1 Consumer Suggestion
Next step
AUTHOR: IntheKnow - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, June 28, 2010
The network of repair facilities and service options is not handled by BBY but its plan administrator. The store and its clerks have no clue. Their sole goal is to sell you a worthless piece of paper. Rule # 1 - never listen to a sales clerk for BBY or any major retailer. Rule # 2 - any extended warranty is not worth the paper it is written on - you will experience more hassle than it is humanly worth.
If the warranty is 1 year, Westinghouse is responsible, not BBY. You do not have to go through BBY for warranty service.
If after one year, call BBY corporate Customer Care and speak to a Manager. Tell them you were deceived by the store and sold a fraudulant service plan. Threaten to call Attorney General in Minnesota.
If no action, call or email Atty General in Minnesota and or its Consumer Affairs division. Ditto with the Minneapolis Better Business Bureau.
You will get action.
Most of these plans work as such - you contracted them for service - if they cannot provide it , they should replace the full value of your product with a gift card. Prepaid mailing the product out is an acceptable option; they should pay from where you live. Sometimes the companies refund your contract price instead - this doesn't solve your issue, though.
