You're story is common with how this company does business. I think they've gotten too big to handle their obligation to service. It won't surprise me at all to soon read this place is having a "Going Out Of Business" sale. They seem to have created a sales formula that makes money at the consumer's expense. Their profit is made buy selling sevice contracts which they don't honor. Eventualy no one will buy there again. (Check out www.BestBuySux.org) There used to be a chain here in Connecticut called "Nobody Beats The Wiz". Well guess what. SOMEBODY beat them because their stores closed down. To me, Best Buy is nothing more than a boil on the a*s of society. Hopefully, their management will soon be working for McDonalds or pumping gas, where they belong.

First I would like to say sorry for the way that you were treated at teh Broomfield store. I am a service technician for one of the other stores. One of the biggest problems with the Performance Service Plans is that we MUST attempt a repair on the items first. In your case with the camera and I am sure you were not told about this is that we have to in most cases use and outside vender or the manufacture to fix the camera. I will not blame anyone but us (Best Buy) for the time that it took but when the camera goes to the outside vender we really have very little control over time. I just want to appologize for any misleading information that you were given on the service plan.
