New Wal-Mart return/exchange policy...

[Bluzombie]

Hey folks,

My apoligies if this has already been discussed. I've just returned from my local Wal-Mart here in Vacouver, BC and I have some bad news to report. Effective Nov 1st (here in Canada at least), Wal-Mart will no longer be taking returns/exchanges for any BD's without a reciept.

I just tried. I failed.

So if you had designs (like me) on taking in some of those free discs you got from the Summer Blu-ray promo you're SOL. Seems Wal-Mart has been innundated lately with new, unopened BD's and they (corperate?) were informed that people were returning items not purchased there for other product - at least this is what the lady I spoke with told me.

Shitty news I know but it was bound to happen sooner of later. At least they let me leave the store after I set off the Sensomatic at the front doors; guess BVHV doesn't de-magnetize the BD's as they leave the warehouse.

Anyways, just thought I'd share the info I gleaned this afternoon.

I hate it when people try to cheat companies and then post about it on a public forum.

Does anyone have any class anymore?

[Moefiz]

I can't say that i disagree with the new policy.

As a manager for a retail store people try to get over on certain things and it bugs the hell out of me when they try things like that.

I understand the policy. But, with the holiday coming up, it was nice before being able to get gifts for people at wal-mart and not have to worry about giving a gift that someone already had because they could return it without any worries.

Just sell/trade your extra movies here.

Just make sure to get a gift receipt for any items you're giving as gifts, especially BD's. That way there won't be any hassles.

this is rediculous, these bds are free bds, not sample bds. and there is a decent selection to. don't be so f**king selfish. Free bds are what they are. enjoy them!! don't exploit policies and loopholes.

Like I'm the first guy to post on the subject. This shits been happening for months now, with multiple posts regarding taking items back to Wal-Mart in exchange for other titles. I'm mearly passing along info to everyone on this forum. This, as you said, public forum.

Amen!

Return Policy

Nothing is mentioned on this web page. But it also doesn't mention returns being made without a receipt.

Yes, and you were explaining on a Public Forum that you were trying to cheat a company....and I don't know how something like that wouldn't be against some law. But maybe thats just me...because I am from New York, and looking at the wrong blade of grass is against the law. Moral of my story....have a little class and save things that you do that may be against the law to yourself Happy Holidays

I am truly amazed by all the self-righteous, Nancy Grace douchebags I see chiming in, crying foul because I posted a bit of information regarding a very common practice I've been following on this forum - for months.

Jesus folks, find another cause already.

And all this "red is scum" and "blu is class" bullshit... it's pathetic. How the hell is one persons level of "class" determined by their format of choice? They're f**king movies for christ sake! That's it. That's all they will ever be! Movies.

All this posteuring is embarrassing.

And thank you, happy holidays to you as well.

I hate when people try to say other people don't have any class on public forums.

I don't feel sorry for anyone who wants to take advantage of a great deal by trying screw the company giving the great deal. If we want companies to keep supporting Blu-ray, we need to have some ethics and stop trying to figure out ways to bugger companies that are trying to give us great deals.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah it amazes me how openly people are here about scamming stores...unreal. Good for Wal-Mart.
