solarbirdI took my old Sony-in-Radio-Shack-drag CD player to Radio Shack for repair. First, the lose it for four weeks. Then, as they're about to have to give me a replacement, it reappears at the repair centre. Two weeks later, they tell me they can't fix it because they don't have the parts, and I need to come pick it up. I picked it up, and it's been SMASHED ALL TO HELL. Seriously, it looks like somebody hit it with a hammer a couple of times and then made a whole bunch of grinder marks on the case. And along the way, took a prybar to the rear panel and cracked the plastic in two places on the front panel.
There's "nothing they can do" since I can't prove it wasn't in this condition when I dropped it off.
Yes, I will be taking this up the Radio Shack chain, and then to the BBB and the state Atty. General's office, why do you ask?
Peeve2: Posting to personal instead of community by accident. Gir. AntiPeeve: Posting it twice and editing this one! Muah-ha-ha!
Peeve3: Admitting to owning anything from Radio Shack except for, oh, cables or something.
Peeve4: Radio Shack. FUCKING Radio shack. Gir.
Peeve5: Anyone who says that's a duplicate peeve. Fuck off.

Date: 2003-10-16 04:31 am (UTC)The only time I've dealt with RS repair is when I had a keyboard stop functioning under warranty...(On my old Model 1) It was gone for three weeks and then they "Lost it" and had to send me a replacement.
I only go to RS for parts now...and I'm just as likely to stop by professional electronics shops. (Thats professional as in shops FOR professionals as well as shops that are run in a professional manner)
I can't think of the last electronics item that I purchased from RS...I suspect it was a microphone or a speaker or something...maybe a soldering iron.
