CompUSA ripoff you have to pay 15% to return open box items, DEFECTIVE or not. Irving Texas
Watch out for CompUSA, they have a scam that when you return an open box item you have to pay 15% to return it. Here is the scam, you have to pay even if the item is defective. Why should anyone have to pay to return an item that does not work?
