If you buy something at Best Buy make sure you don't have to return it!!

I just got this email from a friend that had a terrible time at Best Buy and I want to share it with all my friends here at Mylot. She says... Best Buy has some bad policies..... If you purchase something from, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, JC Penny, Sears etc. and you return the item with the receipt they will give you your money back if you paid cash, or credit your account if you paid by plastic. Well, I purchased a GPS for my car, a Tom Tom XL.S from Best buy. They have a policy that it must be returned within 14 days for a refund. So after 4 days I returned it in the original box with all the items in the box, with paperwork and cords all wrapped in the plastic. Just as I received it, including the receipt. I explained to the lady at the return desk I did not like the way it could not find store names. The lady at the refund desk said, there's a 15% restock fee, for items returned. I said no one told me that. I said how much would that be? She said it goes by the price of the item. It will be $45.00 for you. I said, all you're going to do is walk over and place it back on the shelf then charge me $45.00 of my money for restocking? She said that's the store policy. I said if more people were aware of it they would not buy anything here! If I bought a $2000.00 computer or TV and returned it I would be charged $300.00 restock fee? She said yes, 15%. I said OK
