… and free manga is the prize. More specifically a copy of either Presents Vol. 1, Dragon Head Vol. 8 or Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service: Volume 4:
I ordered them from Barnes & Noble a month ago and when they hadn’t shown up after almost two weeks, I called to complain. B&N cancelled the original order and I reordered the books. Today I finally received the original shipment but I really don’t need two copies of these books, so I’ll give them away to the person who tells me the best story about the worst online shopping experience they’ve had. Simply send me an email detailing your ordeal by 11:59 PM CST Thursday 11/15/2007 and the books could be yours! I’ll post the winning story and ship out the books (two still in their original shrinkwrap!) shortly after that. (If you’re not interested in all three books, let me know and I can give the ones you don’t want to the runner-up.)

Actually, I’m planning on giving away all three books to one winner, unless that person specifically tells me they don’t want any of the tiles — then I’ll pass those along to the “runner-up.” So get cracking and tell me all about your crappy online shopping experiences!!

Too bad it has to be online. I’m always willing to share my “Why Best Buy sucks” tirade five years after it happened …

I’m partial to stories about bad online shopping experiences, since that’s what started the whole idea for this giveaway, but I’m open to hearing stories about why Best Buy sucks. And, hey, Best Buy has an online presence, so go ahead and tell me your story. (I just amended the contest details to open it up to any shopping experience — on- or offline.)

I bought a $1600 Sony flat screen TV from Best Buy. Got it home and opened the box and it was broken. Best Buy refused to exchange it or give me my money back. They said call Sony. Sony said we don’t do anything about broken TV’s go to Best Buy. Finally after 2 days, someone at Best Buy corporate said they would exchange our TV and they said they’d give us 10% off for the trouble. What a relief….until they called back and said they could not exchange it as there was no proof that they did the damage.
So now, I’m stuck with a $1600 broken TV? Finally, after 4 days and several managers later. We did speak with someone who said they could exchange it for us. I did finally get my tv exchanged, but never got this 10% off and had to pay $70 to have it delivered. They did nothing to make up for the 4 days of major hassle. During this entire time, I had to bring the TV to them twice, listen to them say that we broke the TV, and that they would not have possibly sold a broken TV.
Do not buy anything from Best Buy, if you do, check the box before you walk out of the store.
