WARNING*** DO NOT purchase their Service/Replacement plan it is a total rip off.
My son purchased a replacement plan for his IPod which was attached to his receipt. When we had a problem and called in I was first told I would be sent a return label and gift card. I never received the return label so I called again. I again did not receive the return label. On the third call I was told I in fact did not have a replacement plan but a service plan and I would need to bring the IPod into a local store for repair. I was told the clerk must have attached my receipt to the wrong brochure.
Since we purchased this product they have shut down the two stores in my area that were within a reasonable distance. (I now can understant why!)
I was told I would be sent a box to return the IPod for service.
Two weeks later after still not getting the box I called yet again and was told this was not standard procedure for a repair. They are still working on trying to get me a box.
In my opinion they are ripping people off with these phony plans that they do not stand behind so don't waste your money.

i work for radio shack and i get really pissed when i read artlicles like this.

i know what you are talking about when you mention rude managers, please understand they are not all like this.

i also know how many of the young and new sales people really dont know what they are selling and will sometimes say almost anything to get you to buy the product.

i am not a manager, but an employee who enjoys his job and working with people. that is the difference.

I managed the radioshack in oneonta until just before it closed and we never sold ipod's. don't get me wrong, radioshack carried them, but our store NEVER got the first one.

I do know that those things are sent back to the manufacturer (RMAC'd) and if the local store were still open we would have just given a new one to make customer happy.

BTW, ms. Chappell, aren't you the woman from the private christian school that I got new computers for under the service plan?

Anywho, just goes to show that not all stores are alike, even under the same RS corporation! I am sorry you are having a problem with your item. My advice is to take it to the store in attalla at 5 am on the day after thanksgiving and demand a new one or demand they "check it out" for you right there. Trust me, the COMMISSIONED sales people will do whatever they can to get you out of their hair so they can get the "easy" sales of black friday. just a thought. (a thought that will work!)
